Chapter 1104: Walking Through the Mountains and Forests

The tiger guards quickly withdrew from the battlefield, and the soldiers of the Cao army, who had been killed and had been cold, also took advantage of the relief to hurriedly re-array, for fear that the Qin army would attack them again.

Xu Chu and Xu Huang saw the Qin Army's Tiger Benwei retreating from their side, but they didn't dare to launch a surprise attack at the same time as the Tiger Benwei withdrew.

Although they were far away from the battlefield where the soldiers of the two sides fought when they fought with Zhao Yun and Gao Ran, the two had already seen that the Cao army under their command had lost their courage.

If they rashly attacked and killed the Tiger Benwei, once they were surrounded by enemy troops, they were afraid that they would want someone to rescue them from the periphery, and the soldiers of the Cao army did not dare to step forward.

The sound of horses' hooves rolled past him like rolling thunder, and seeing the soldiers of the Qin Army's Tiger Benwei calmly withdraw, Xu Chu and Xu Huang glanced at each other, and each saw the shock in each other's gazes.

The combat power of the Tiger Benwei is too strong, and they have not led the army to fight once or twice, and they have never seen such an army that can fight!

led the tiger guards, evacuated the battlefield, and rode his horse until he couldn't see Cao's army, and Zhao Yuncai restrained the war horse.

Stopping the war horse, Zhao Yun shouted to Tao Hu, who was leading the army and retreating close to him: "Tao Hu, count the casualties of our army!" ”

After getting Zhao Yun's order, Tao Hu hurriedly responded, and then shouted to a tiger guard beside him: "Count the casualties!" ”

The tiger guards answered, turned around their horses, went to find the leaders of the teams, and settled the casualties.

After a while, Hu Benwei, who went to settle the casualties, turned back, hugged his fists and arched to Tao Hu and said: "General Qiyu, our army killed forty-three people in this battle, more than 100 soldiers were wounded, and none were seriously injured!" ”

Nodding to the tiger guard, Tao Hu just picked up his fists and was about to report to Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun already waved his hand at him with a cold face and said: "Such heavy casualties, if Your Highness wants to know, I am afraid that General Ben will be blamed again." From today onwards, it will be convenient for our army to be stationed here, confront Cao's army, and rest for a few days before making plans! ”

With the strength of 3,000 people, the Cao army forcibly attacked more than 10,000 people, killing 43 people in the battle, and more than 100 people were slightly injured.

The two armies fought, judging from the corpses everywhere, the casualties of the Cao army were definitely not less than a thousand, even so, Zhao Yun still felt that the casualties were too heavy, which shows how strong the army in front of him is on weekdays!

Looking at Zhao Yun with a stunned face, Gao Ran hugged his fists and said to him, "General! In exchange for the lives of thousands of Cao soldiers with forty-three people, if the Hebei army had such a strong journey, it would not have been defeated today! The war is important, and I hope that the general will focus on the overall situation! ”

"The war is important, and the lives of the soldiers are even more important!" Waving his hand at Gao Ran, Zhao Yun said to him: "Fang just fought with Xu Huang and Xu Chu, and General Gao's old injuries recurred, and he could already see it clearly. The general will be raised, and in two days, he will kill Cao Jun with the general! ”

When fighting with Xu Chu and Xu Huang, Gao Ran was indeed a little powerless.

When Zhao Yun said this, he couldn't argue any more, so he had to stop talking and stand aside.

The Qin army Hu Benwei encountered the Cao army led by Xu Chu and Xu Huang, and while the two armies started a fight, Cao Cao had already led the main force of the Cao army and chased Yuan Tan and others all the way.

At the same time, between Xuanyuan Pass and Songshan, the Qin army led by Lu Bu was stationed in the barracks, and it did not move for several days.

On the top of Song Mountain, Sun Guan stood on the mountainside, looking at the battle flags of the Qin army waving in the wind at the edge of the valley in the distance, his brows were tightly locked, and the uneasiness in his heart was getting stronger and stronger.

The sneak attack on the Qin army failed, but many soldiers and horses were damaged, although Sun Guan boosted morale afterwards, but the combat situation of the soldiers was much lower than before.

In the jungle on Songshan Mountain, the officers and men of the Qingzhou Army are sitting or lying, and the entire army is lifeless and lifeless.

Looking at the battle flag of the Qin army in the distance, thinking of the army behind him that had been killed by the Qin army again, Sun Guan felt a little uneasy in his heart, and he was not very sure whether he could resist the attack of the Qin army.

While Sun looked at the camp of the Qin army, in the jungle at the foot of Song Mountain, a team that handed over the war horses to the main force of the Qin army was quietly climbing towards the hill under the cover of the jungle.

When Gao Shun led the Yulin guards to Xuanyuan Pass, LΓΌ Bu had already defeated an attack by the Qingzhou army.

Knowing that Lu Bu was going to give him the credit, Gao Shun was also full of astonishment.

Since following Lu Bu, he has known this Wen Hou very well.

Lu Bu was anxious for quick success, and he always put his military exploits first, which was the case when he followed Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo, and after serving the King of Qin, this kind of love was even more out of control.

It is really not easy to let Lu Bu give up his exploits.

Gao Shun wanted to break his head, but he didn't understand it, until he found that Jia Xu had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth behind Lu Bu, that he finally suddenly realized.

Lu Bu must have other opportunities for meritorious service, and another merit is afraid that it will be greater than defeating the Qingzhou army, otherwise he will definitely not do such an adult beauty thing.

Thinking about this, Gao Shun was much calmer in his heart, and ordered the Yulin guards to hand over the war horses to the main force to take care of, and led the five thousand Yulin guards to take advantage of the night to get into the jungle at the foot of Song Mountain.

The terrain of Songshan is steep and densely forested.

Walking through the jungle of Songshan Mountain, the soldiers of the Yulin Guard had to be extremely careful.

Every time you step further, there is a high chance that your feet will be empty.

When they first climbed the hill, Gao Shun led the soldiers to walk very smoothly, but the more they climbed the mountain, the more difficult the road became.

Many of the Yulin guards cut sticks from the trees on the side to find out if the road ahead was smooth, and the march of the 5,000-strong team was extremely slow.

It was already dark, and the sun shone through the dense canopy of trees into the jungle, casting round and square spots on the ground covered with thick fallen leaves.

Looking up at the sunlight shining through the canopy, Gao Shun didn't say a word, and then reported to Tanma that he had found the Qingzhou Army's hill climbing.

The Yulin guards who followed Gao Shun were also silent.

This mountain forest is under the control of the Qingzhou army, and there may be scouts of the Qingzhou army everywhere, and they make noises, which are very likely to reveal their whereabouts, and then the plan to ambush the enemy army will be completely ruined.

The team of 5,000 people was slowly moving forward in the mountains and forests, and as they were marching, a fiery figure suddenly appeared in front of them.

Seeing the figure, Gao Shun stopped and looked up.

The fiery red armor is a unique equipment of the Qin army, especially Yu Linwei, from the tassels on the helmet to the trouser legs, which are one yard red.

The battle clothes of the Qin army are different from the clothes of the soldiers and horses under the command of other heroes, and they are very different from the clothing of the people.

The suit was loose, but the trouser hem and cuffs were tightly tightened, making it easy for the soldiers to wield their weapons during the fight.

Their trousers are not two separate trouser tubes, but long trousers with a crotch.

Such pants can better protect the crotch of the soldiers when they are marching, especially in the jungle, and small insects are less likely to get into the crotch and cause damage to the soldiers.

It is precisely with these distinctive characteristics that the Qin army's battle suit is particularly easy to identify.

Seeing the little red that appeared in the jungle from a distance, Gao Shun immediately recognized that it was the scout he had sent out earlier.

The red figure was getting closer and closer, and sure enough, it was the scout he had sent earlier.

Running to Gao Shun's approach, the scout clenched his fists and bowed, lowered his voice and said to him: "General Qiyu, ten miles further on, is where the Qingzhou Army is stationed!" ”

"How many centaurs? How is the garrison? Also lowering his voice, Gao Shun asked the scout a question.

"There are about 70,000 people, and the garrison is unusually tight, as if there is not much will to fight!" Maintaining a posture of clenching his fists and bowing, the scout whispered to Gao Shun: "There are no Qingzhou army spies nearby, and the enemy must not have thought that our army would secretly lurk up the mountain!" ”

Nodding, Gao Shun didn't say anything, just waved his hand at the scout.

The army led by Lu Bu is still stationed at the junction of Xuanyuan Pass and Songshan Mountain, standing on the hill, it must be able to see Lu Bu's military camp.

There was no sign of action from the Qin army, and the Qingzhou army must have thought that the Qin army was waiting for the best time.

Defeated by Lu Bu once, the Qingzhou army did not dare to attack rashly, but the main force of the Qin army stationed at the foot of the mountain was able to attract all their attention.

Waving to the soldiers of the Qin army behind him, Gao Shun continued to climb up the hillside.

The Yulin guards who followed Gao Shun also walked silently, but everyone showed a trace of impatience on their faces.

Walking through the hills all over the jungle, although there will be no snakes, insects, rats and ants to bother them in winter, the bushes around them still make the soldiers miserable.

In particular, a low shrub called a jujube has spikes on its branches, and if you accidentally pick it, a long blood streak will immediately appear on your skin.

This shrub not only cuts a person's skin, but also leaves behind a very thin poisonous juice in the wound, which, although not fatal, increases the sensation of pain.

Every Yulin guard looked forward to finding the location of the Qingzhou Army as soon as possible, and quickly exterminating the miscellaneous soldiers who were blocking the march of the army, so as not to suffer the pain of walking through the mountains and forests again.

Gao Shun led the Yulin guards to march slowly on the hillside, where the Qingzhou army was stationed, Sun Guan still looked at the Qin army garrison in the distance, with a dignified face.

The equipment of the Qingzhou Army is not as good as the main force of the Cao Army, and the training of the soldiers is not as good as the main force of the Cao Army, even if it is food rationing, it is not as good as the main force of the Cao Army.

Earlier, when the Battle of Guandu broke out, the Qin army was intercepted in the area of Xuanyuan Pass, if it was not for the Qin army to deliberately release water, it would be a great luck.

The failure of the raid on the Qin army a few days ago made Sun Guan inevitably very worried, can they still successfully intercept the Qin army this time?
