Chapter 603 Seeing small profits and forgetting life! (Ten more)
Yuan Shao's heart sank as he watched the army appear at the rear of the battlefield.
Just now, he said that once Gongsun Zan's army came out, he could kill Gongsun Zan in one go. However, the army that suddenly came from behind was obviously Zhang Liao's army under Lu Xuan who was stationed in Youzhou.
Zhang Liao's army is a fresh force.
The key point is that this army came without any warning, and no information was sent back. As early as the war with Gongsun Zan, Yuan Shao had arranged sentinels to keep an eye on the situation of Tian Chou and Zhang Liao in the north of Youzhou, making sure to keep an eye on Zhang Liao's army.
But, how could he suddenly be killed?
What do the sentinels he arranged do for food?
First, Guan Yu led his troops to kill them. The number of these cavalry was not large, so they just appeared quietly. It was not easy to find the other side if they deliberately concealed their whereabouts.
However, the large number of troops did not discover it.
These wastes.
Yuan Shao was very angry in his heart. He was supposed to reverse the good situation, but at this moment, all his advantages were in vain.
When Yuan Shao hesitated, Xu You couldn't sit still and quickly persuaded: "Your Majesty, Wu's army is too elite and they are all fresh troops. We don't even know how many soldiers the other side has. The general suggested withdrawing the army quickly.
Get off the battlefield."
Tian Feng said: "I also suggest withdrawing the troops."
Ju said: "I suggest withdrawing the troops."
One by one, the counselors spoke.
Everyone knows that the current situation is very unfavorable. If we continue to kill, it will be even worse if we are trapped here. We must first evacuate and wait for the army to stabilize, and then consider fighting the opponent.
A flash of anger appeared on Yuan Shao's face, and he gritted his teeth and said: "We have been killing for several months, and until now, we thought that Zhang Liao and Tian Chou, who Lu Xuan had arranged for in Youzhou, would not intervene in the battlefield for the time being."
"Moreover, our sentinels have been keeping an eye on each other to find out the other party's situation and avoid the other party's sudden appearance. Unexpectedly, they actually hid behind us quietly."
Xu You didn't want to listen to the nonsense that happened, and further persuaded: "Your Majesty, withdraw your troops."
"Withdraw troops!"
Yuan Shao hesitated for a moment and finally chose to give the order.
He looked at Zhang He and said in a deep voice: "Zhang He, you lead the Euphorbia soldiers to break the rear and block the pursuing wave of Wu army and Gongsun Zan's elite. After we withdraw, you can quickly withdraw."
"Here!"
Zhang He answered with clasped fists.
The order was passed on, and Yuan Shao evacuated first under the protection of his personal guards.
Yuan Shang, Ju Sue, Tian Feng, Xu You, and Feng Ji also evacuated first. After these people evacuated, a large number of infantry retreated, and Yuan Shao's cavalry also guarded the two wings.
Together with Zhang He's Euphorbia warriors at the rear, the army retreated in an orderly manner.
However, when Baima Yi came out, Guan Yu and his cavalry gathered together to cover up the attack, and the cavalry led by Zhang Liao came over to kill them. Under the continuous impact, even Yuan Shao's cavalry could not defend themselves and could not stop such an offensive.
That is to say, Zhang He's Euphorbia soldiers were motionless and defended steadily. Zhang He did not resist for a long time. After confirming Yuan Shaoyuan's withdrawal, he stopped defending and decisively retreated quickly with the Euphorbia soldiers.
Neither the cavalry led by Guan Yu nor the cavalry led by White Horse Yi Cong tried to cover up and kill Zhang He.
Because this is a tough nut to crack.
If you go to attack, it is easy for the cavalry to run into them. Moreover, these people are all wearing heavy armor, and it is difficult to deal with them even if they fly kites and shoot arrows. Instead of wasting time dealing with the Euphorbias, it is better to cover up and kill Yuan Shao's cavalry and infantry.
The army covered them up and swept across them continuously.
Wherever they passed, more and more Yuan Shao's cavalry fell on the battlefield, and more and more infantry were killed. Yuan Shao's troops who had fallen behind had been killed and scattered.
Yuan Shao rode his horse to retreat and knew the situation at the rear. He was very angry.
This battle was too frustrating.
He did not expect Zhang Liao's army to suddenly move south, because none of the sentinels sent out could find out the news. If these sentinels had kept a close eye on the situation and found out clearly, they would not have been so passive.
Yuan Shao had every intention of killing all the sentinels, but now, he could only retreat with all his strength.
The group of people retreated, getting closer and closer to the camp.
Tian Feng looked anxious and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Tian Chou arranged a surprise attack by Zhang Liao's army. It is very likely that our camp was also attacked. Perhaps the camp has changed its banner and been captured secretly. If we withdraw now, we will do it ourselves."
If you fall into a trap, you will be killed further, so I suggest you avoid the camp and retreat."
Yuan Shao frowned.
This suggestion is not very good.
He said loudly: "We still have a lot of supplies in our camp. Giving up the camp now means giving up all the supplies."
Tian Feng said: "As long as the soldiers are here, everything is not a problem. After all, we are fighting on the border of Jizhou, the army is still there, and the lost food, grass and supplies can be replenished. Once we enter the camp, we are ambushed again and the army is dragged away
If you stay, it will be difficult to reverse the situation."
Jushu added: "Your Majesty, I also agree with this proposal. We should seize the time to evacuate and evacuate to the county seat of Yixian County. The county seat is under our control, and there is still a large amount of supplies in the city."
The relationship between Guo Tu and Ju Shou and Tian Feng was not good.
Now, seeing Tian Feng, Jushou unanimously agreed to retreat, but after careful consideration, he felt that there might not be an ambush in the camp.
After Guo Tu thought clearly, he loudly said: "Your Majesty, our camp has a large amount of supplies. It's not that Zhang Liao doesn't want to attack the camp, or he doesn't want to capture the camp, but once he attacks the camp, his whereabouts will be exposed. Therefore, it is impossible for him to capture us
The camp. I think there is absolutely no problem with the camp.”
Jushou's eyes were sharp and he glared at Guo Tu.
It's just playing the piano randomly.
Jushou did not want to argue with Guo Tu and said quickly: "Your Majesty, Tian Chou was difficult to deal with when he was under Liu Yu. This man has a deep calculation and waited for us to lose countless troops in Yijing City before he came out."
"He stays still and moves like thunder. So since the army under his command has avoided our sentinels and left us with no information at all, there is still a way to deal with the camp."
Jushou said: "Such a person is definitely difficult to deal with. There must be a conspiracy."
Yuan Shao was still thinking about the countless food, grass and supplies in the camp.
He was stationed outside Yijing City, and a large number of armors and equipment were stored in the camp, as well as grain, grass, soldiers' pay, etc. that were sent to him, all in the camp.
Once lost, it would be a pity.
Yuan Shao looked around and saw the Euphorbia soldiers led by Zhang He slowly catching up. Seeing his troops withdrawing in an orderly manner, he felt a little more stable and no longer had the urgency to retreat.
Yuan Shao said decisively: "Withdraw the troops and retreat to the camp first. I trust Guo Tu's judgment. If Tian Chou wants to seize the camp, the soldiers left in the camp will be enough to warn him. There is no way there will be no news at all."
Tian Feng said loudly: "Your Majesty, you are stupid. Under the current situation, it is better to believe in the enemy than in the enemy. Once there is an ambush in the camp, our army will be delayed and the losses will be even greater."
Jushou said: "Your Majesty, please think again."
Both of them persuaded Yuan Shao to change his mind.
Yuan Shao looked slightly cold and said in a deep voice: "If we bypass the camp, won't we lose a lot of supplies? No need to discuss it further, let's withdraw to the camp."
Tian Feng and Ju Shou looked at each other with helpless expressions.
There was nothing the two could do.
Guo Tu looked quite proud, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Sheng Ming."
"Hurry up and retreat."
Yuan Shao urged the order again and took the lead in leading the people in the direction of the camp. Yuan Shao's army followed and followed in the direction of the camp.
