Zang Ba retreated all the way south, but after all, most of them were infantry, so it was hard to say how fast they were. Although Zahu was also a mixture of infantry and cavalry, the number of cavalry was very large. Therefore, in the early stage, Zahu was confident that he had defeated the Han army.
More than ten thousand Hu cavalry pursued them first.
However, Zang Ba had experienced many battles after all, and after shattering the Imperial Army's soul, he had greatly improved in many aspects, and he forcibly ambushed Zahu's cavalry hundreds of miles north of the Great Wall of Yan.
Relying on the legion's talent, which gained the final power of the Imperial Army Soul after opening its heart, it was able to eat half of the miscellaneous vanguard's cavalry, making the subsequent retreat less difficult.
However, even so, the total strength of the Han army and private soldiers of the family, originally used as bait, was 12,000, but now there are only just over 4,000 left, and most of the soldiers are wounded and went into battle. As for the cavalry led by Wei Yan and Guan Ping
There are only a few hundred left.
You must know that Wei Yan, Guan Ping, and the soldiers led by Zang Ba were all veterans of more than ten battles, but almost everyone was injured in this battle alone.
"The situation is not good. We are only close to a hundred miles away from the Great Wall of Yan," Wei Yan licked his lips and said, "The so-called reinforcements from Commander Jia have not yet arrived, but my intuition tells me that Zahu will be there in a few hours at most.
We will catch up, this time with a large force."
While saying this, Wei Yan squinted his eyes and looked in the direction of Zang Ba. It can be said that this battle, whether it was an early breakthrough or the subsequent blocking of the enemy, was mainly due to Zang Ba. He and Guan Ping were actually used more to boost morale.
, break through the enemy formation.
"I'm quite relieved." Guan Ping smiled and said, "The commander is not worried. What are you worried about? You must know that when Wan Yu Hu Qi caught up with him, neither you, me nor Yuan Zhi thought that the commander-in-chief would
Shuai can easily defeat it."
"He said it was a legion talent, do you believe it?" Wei Yan said after being silent for a while.
"If you don't believe it, don't you also disbelieve it?" Guan Ping spread his hands and said, "I still don't believe that he refined Qi into a gang, do you believe it?"
"I'm not blind!" Wei Yan said angrily, "He definitely has inner energy leaving his body."
"So, the commander-in-chief is not in a hurry, why are we in a hurry?" Guan Ping said calmly. In fact, when Zang Ba led his headquarters to break through Zahu and rush out, everyone knew that it could not be the so-called legion.
talent.
Later, Zahu caught up with him, and Zang Ba led his troops to resist Zahu, and in an instant, he knocked the people whom Zahu had beaten off their backs. At that time, everyone knew that Zang Ba was abnormal, but Zang Ba was the commander-in-chief, and he was one of the earliest
Criticizing the commander-in-chief, others have no right to ask.
"Report, General Zang has an order to form a formation and retreat slowly towards the south." At this moment, a messenger rushed over and said to Wei Yan and Guan Ping.
"It seems that the commander is planning to fight again." After Wei Yan and Guan Ping looked at each other, Guan Ping scratched his head and said, but this is really not a good idea.
"It's useless to talk more. At least for now, if we continue to move forward, there will be no results. Instead, we should prepare for the battle on the spot. Under the leadership of the commander, there is still hope of a comeback." Wei Yan took a deep breath and said.
Guan Ping nodded silently. Wei Yan was right. Soon, under Zang Ba's order, all parts of the army received the news. Then, under the leadership of middle and lower-level officers from each department, the army slowly formed a circle.
The formation marched slowly towards the south.
Liu Ye, who had just arrived at Yan Great Wall, looked tired and a little gloomy, was listening to the report of Yuan Tan's ministers. Of course, he was no longer Yuan Tan's subordinates, but ministers of the Han Dynasty.
"Didn't you receive any information?" Liu Ye listened to Colonel Gokarasumaru's report with a tired look on his face, and his expression became more and more gloomy the more he listened.
Just as Jia Xu and Chen Xi had estimated, shortly after Liu Bei sent out troops, Liu Ye suggested that he lead his troops to take the first step to stabilize the situation in the north of Youzhou and prevent the Northern Huns from crossing the Great Wall again. Naturally, Liu Bei agreed to this.
suggestion.
However, after Liu Ye led his cavalry and rushed all the way to the Great Wall of Yan, he received no news from Captain Hu Karasuma.
[If I were the Shanyu of the Northern Xiongnu, then strengthening my own strength is no longer realistic at present, and the only choice is Zahu.] Liu Ye looked at the north and thought a little solemnly, but this could not hide his face at all.
Tired from above.
[Although he doesn’t like Wenhe, Jia Wenhe definitely understands this. So Jia Wenhe’s purpose should be to prevent this result. How to prevent it?] Liu Ye silently activated his spiritual talent and stood beside Jia Wenhe.
Think about it from Xu’s perspective.
[Zichuan must have come back, but he is one step later than me, so his military strength may only be between 6,000 and 7,000, but if he goes north with all his strength, it will only be 4,000.] Liu Ye had a headache thinking that every time
Thinking from Chen Xi's perspective, there are always things he cannot understand.
[But with Chen Hou’s character and strength, can he succeed in attacking the rear of the Northern Huns?] Liu Ye silently analyzed the current situation, [Impossible, the strength gap between the two sides is too big, even he can’t do it]
arrive……】
[It’s just that there is a possibility of an attack, so what does he want to do?] Liu Ye thought with a slight headache, [Since it can’t be meaningless, then it’s just to create an opportunity. What exactly is the opportunity?]
[No, with such a string of words, Jia Wenhe's intention becomes clearer, and Jia Wenhe's purpose can be divided into two.] Liu Ye already made some assumptions in his mind.
[What about the possibility of the other way around?] Liu Ye frowned and thought, [Probably, but it’s hard to estimate their true thoughts. But even if I rush over so hard, I’m actually already in Jia Wen’s house.
Are you included in the estimate?】
[What a disgusting feeling!] Liu Ye thought with dissatisfaction, [But what if I didn’t rush here so hard?]
Just as Liu Ye was thinking about this aspect, a general rushed over with a letter and saluted the two of them. Colonel Gokarasumaru looked at him and wondered whether he should speak.
"This is the Marquis of Dongting, Liu Ziyang. If you have anything to say, just say it." Colonel Huwuwan gave a brief introduction, and Liu Ye also nodded slightly while holding the tea cup, indicating that he had been greeted.
The general bowed to the two men and said, "Ning County has reported that two generals under Cao Sikong have left the Great Wall with seven thousand troops after confirming the defense of the Great Wall."
Liu Ye's face darkened, and the hand he was holding the tea cup paused. He already knew how Jia Xu was thinking, and he even guessed Chen Xi's possible methods, but this was only when the facts were placed in front of him.
Understand this.
[Cao Mengde, I didn’t expect that he was so courageous! No wonder, no wonder Jia Wenhe is so confident, even if there is no me, there will be others?] Liu Ye thought with a solemn expression, but there is no need to think about this at this time.
