The usual battle is a fight between you and me with one knife and one shot.

However, the pursuit war, that is, I will kill you with one sword, I will stab you to death with one shot, and I will shoot you to death with one arrow. I kill and kill, and you flee and flee.

Liu Zhang poured out of the city and pursued the whole army.

Even the people in the city, armed with knives, guns, sticks and other messy weapons, rushed out of the city and pursued frantically.

The two teams arranged by Liu Zhang on both wings also killed together and chased after the Huns' buttocks.

After chasing for fifty miles, Liu Zhang ordered the troops to be withdrawn.

Then order everyone to clean up the battlefield.

The Huns had just escaped from the pursuit of Liu Zhang's army, and they didn't run far, and they met the Xiliang army that came north such as Ma Teng, Han Sui, and Ma Chao, and they intercepted and killed again. The Xiliang Army is no better than Liu Zhang's new army, the Xiliang Army is all cavalry, no matter how fierce Liu Zhang's new army is, it basically follows the Huns and eats more ashes behind the horses, and they can't run far before they get rid of it. That is, because there were too many Huns, it was chaotic at the beginning, so Liu Zhangjun chased and killed a lot.

But the Xiliang Army was different, the cavalry chased the cavalry wildly, and chased it out of more than 200 miles as soon as they chased it.

After the pleasure is over, after the comfort, trouble often comes.

Liu Zhang didn't know that part of the Xiliang army intercepted the Xiongnu in front.

Liu Zhang just knew that behind, on the one hand, the Xiliang army was moving in the direction of Tianshui, and on the other hand, the Cao army appeared in Qi County, intending to cut off the return of the new army to Hanzhong at any time. In the direction of Tianshui, the road to Chencang is stuck, while Qi County is in the southeast of Gaoping and Xiaoguan, aiming at Liu Zhang's way to Meixian and the return of the slope.

Just after the big victory, before there was time to celebrate, the situation had quickly reversed. It's getting worse.

Fortunately, the news did not spread, but a few major generals knew about it.

Liu Zhang ordered Wei Yan to lead the brigade to slow down, while he and Huang Zhong, with dozens of guards, rode into Xiao Pass lightly to meet Zhang Ren, Ganning, Fa Zheng and other rear troops. Discuss how to retreat back to Hanzhong. Liu Zhang originally led Wei Yan, led the main force, and went north through Chencang Tianshui, with as many as 7,000 troops. And Zhang Ren Ganning Fa is leading the second group, which is the rear army, with a total of 3,000 people, and goes north from Meixian County.

Now, when it comes time to retreat, the rear army becomes the front army. The former army has become the rear army.

"My lord, according to the scout's report, one part of the Ma Teng Han Sui coalition army has returned to Tianshui, blocking the way for our army to return to Chencang through Tianshui, and the other part is going north, probably to intercept the Huns. If they finish volleying the Huns. It will inevitably go south and form a momentum of Ouroboros pursuit against me. Zhang Rendao.

"What about Cao Jun?"

"Cao's army has quickly moved south to Qi County. Its intention to cut me off from Meixian is obvious. ”

"At the moment, our army must choose a direction, and then concentrate its forces to break through, otherwise once it is attacked by two sides and three sides, it is likely that the entire army will be annihilated." Fa Zheng suggested.

"Pick a direction? It's not easy to choose. How many people are there in Tianshui and how many people are there in Qi County? Liu Zhang asked again.

"There are about more than 10,000 Xiliang cavalry in Tianshui, Hu Han and Chen. There are more than 4,000 cavalry in Qi County, most of which are the old units of the original Xiliang Legion that Zhong Xiang and Cao Ang collected and trained. Zhang Ren introduced.

"Haw Par ride? It's kind of funny, I actually met a tiger and leopard riding here. Liu Zhang was also a little undecided for a while.

Tiger and leopard riding for Liu Zhang. That's thunderous.

Anyone who knows a little about the Three Kingdoms, no one doesn't know that Cao Jun Tiger and Leopard rode a daimyo.

Liu Zhang remembered that it seemed that the commander of the tiger and leopard ride was Cao Chun and Cao Zixiao, how did he become Cao Ang? The tiger and leopard ride was made by Cao Ang? Liu Zhang is a little messy.

Although there are only more than 4,000 tigers and leopards, the prestige of the tigers and leopards has too much influence on Liu Zhang, and his fame is too loud.

However, Ma Teng Han Sui's Xiliang Army is not completely wasted, and there are many of them, there are more than 10,000 in the direction of Tianshui alone, and there are many people in the north, who may pursue their 10,000 people at any time. The cavalry chased the infantry, and there was no need to think about how miserable the result might be.

Liu Zhang thought about it again and again, but still chose to ride the tiger and leopard.

So there are several reasons for choosing to break through in the east.

First, the east is closer to Hanzhong. Don't look at it closely, but for Liu Zhang's new army, a little closer is a little, because the logistics supply is too tight, maybe it will be cut off at some point. Moreover, in a battle with the Huns, most of the crossbow arrows of the former army were consumed, and it was difficult to organize large-scale battles.

Second, Cao had fewer soldiers, only more than 4,000. For Liu Zhang's new army, which is not abundant in crossbow arrows, it seems to be an inevitable choice to choose a breakthrough on the side with fewer people.

Third, Liu Zhang didn't believe that the tiger and leopard rider that Cao Angxin made was so powerful that he was powerful.

It's a pity that Liu Zhang chose the wrong one.

If Liu Zhang knew who led Tianshui, Liu Zhang would definitely not choose this.

The chief general of Tianshui's Ma-Han coalition army is Yan Xing.

It's a pity that Liu Zhang doesn't know.

"Lord, if we choose to break through to the east, our subordinates suggest that we first turn west to the area of Ayang and Chengji in Hanyang County (Tianshui County) to confuse the Cao army, and when the Cao army thinks that our army is going to attack Tianshui and go straight to Chencang, our army will turn to the area of Longxian County and peek at Sanguan or Meixian."

"Xiaozhi, you want our army to be more mobile than the other party's cavalry, and you are still folding and folding." Liu Zhang felt that it was not very reliable. Your own side is originally infantry, and your mobility is not as good as that of the other party, and you are still running around like this, isn't this making yourself uncomfortable.

"My lord, I think filial piety is a good plan. As far as I know, the mobility of the Forces nouvelles is not much worse than that of cavalry. I know that the new army of the lord was most important at the beginning of its establishment, and the ability to march was the most important. It is not uncommon to travel more than 100 miles a day. Compared to cavalry, the new army is better than the cavalry, and the cavalry is better than the speed. If the lord is worried, we might as well use one as a suspicious soldier and go east to the vicinity of Anding City to attract the main force of Cao's army, while the main force of our army sneaks through the area of Jiequan and Longxian, and the camera attacks Meixian. ”

"No, our army is already small and weak, and if we divide our troops, we will be even more stretched. It's better to join forces in one place, the strength is still greater, it's really not good, fight to the death, it may not be impossible to win. Liu Zhang made it clear that he was against it.

"Well, I have an idea, let's hear it. We are not going to divide our troops, but to choose a place to fight with Cao's army. In the current situation, without a battle, it is estimated that it will be difficult for our army to return to Hanzhong smoothly. If we want to fight, according to the characteristics of our army, of course, it is best to be able to preset the battlefield. ”

"You don't say it, how could Cao Jun and Xiliang Jun let our army set up the battlefield, filial piety, you are too whimsical."

"Righteousness, don't worry, my idea is still based on your plan just now. Presetting the battlefield certainly won't be as easy as it used to be. However, our army can use one part as a suspicious soldier, pretend to be the main force, and turn westward to attract Cao's army to follow to the west. Then the main force of our army sneaked behind Cao Jun, ready to stop, and then let Cao Jun understand that he was fooled, and it was possible to fall into the situation of our army's east-west attack. At this time, Cao's army will inevitably turn around and meet the main force of our army, and our army will fight and retreat, which will naturally lead the enemy into the battlefield preset by our army. ”

Several people gathered around the map and deliberated all night, but they did not come up with a clear plan.

However, the urgency of the situation can no longer afford any further delay. (To be continued.) )
