Chapter 171 After Wen Chou, there are mountain fires
Wen Chou was like a god of death in the world. There was no place under his spear. His shields were shattered and his spears were broken. Gongsun Yue's soldiers were buried here one by one.
The defense of three thousand infantrymen was not sufficient. Even if Wen Chou marched straight in, his elite scouts were stopped in their tracks.
Although the enemy was killed in large numbers by the steel sword, more infantry immediately rushed up to stop them outside.
Wen Chou went on a killing spree, and suddenly the earth shook, and the rumble of horse hooves sounded from afar.
There are only two forces in the entire Bohai County that have the ability to organize a large number of cavalry, one is their own side, and the other is Gongsun Zan's side. Now that all of our own people are here, the cavalry that appears can only belong to the enemy.
If a large number of enemy cavalry appeared now, they would all fall here.
"All the troops are here, withdraw."
It's still very difficult to break through the Chinese army, but if that's the case, then we'll stop as soon as possible.
Wen Chou fought back again, joined his own brigade, found the correct direction and launched another charge.
Although Gongsun Yue's infantry kept coming up to block them along the way, they were all killed by Wen Chou and others.
"Stop chasing, get ready to meet the prefect."
Gongsun Yue shouted loudly to stop his troops. The two-legged infantry could not catch up with the four-legged cavalry. At this time, it is generally accepted that instead of doing useless work, it is better to clean up the mess and wait to be beaten by his elder brother.
.
Wen Chou could sense the horseshoes. He had lived in the frontier fortress since he was a child, so he naturally knew better. Now the only cavalryman who could come here was his eldest brother Gongsun Zan.
Sure enough, not long after Wen Chou left, Gongsun Zan had already appeared in his camp.
"Ah Yue, what's going on?"
Gongsun Zan rode his horse and slowly entered Gongsun Yue's camp. Looking at the corpses all over the ground, he couldn't help but frown.
"Brother, it was my incompetence that caused the Nanpi defenders to take advantage of me. I beg to be punished."
Gongsun Yue knelt down on one knee and begged Gongsun Zan.
"As long as you're okay, get up."
Gongsun Zan looked at his embarrassed brothers and couldn't help but sigh.
After hearing Gongsun Zan's words, Gongsun Yue breathed a sigh of relief.
The two of them walked into Gongsun Yue's tent hand in hand, while the remaining soldiers and horses spread out to put out the fire, carry the corpses, and clean up the mess.
"Brother, if you can show up here, it means that Hejian County has already obtained everything."
Looking at his most beloved elder brother, Gongsun Yue's face was full of admiration.
"Hey, it's hard to put it into words."
After listening to Gongsun Yue's words, Gongsun Zan also felt helpless.
"What's wrong? Brother, Hejian County's attack is not going well?"
Looking at Gongsun Zan's face, Gongsun Yue knew that he had slapped the horse's leg, but he had already raised the topic and had to finish it. Otherwise, based on his understanding of Gongsun Zan, he would only be more unlucky.
"Well, the attack on Hejian is not going well. There are only 2,000 cavalry left out of 10,000. I discussed with Yan Gang and decided to abandon Hejian County and attack Bohai County with all our strength."
Although Gongsun Zan just said it casually, the fact that there were only 2,000 cavalry left out of 10,000 was enough to show what kind of fierce battle they had experienced.
"In that case, everything will be at your eldest brother's command."
The transfer of military power was the first and only idea in Gongsun Yue's mind.
"Well, I'm tired. Let's go to bed early."
Gongsun Zan was indeed tired. If the scouts had not discovered that Gongsun Yue's camp was attacked, he would not have come to rescue him in the middle of the night.
"promise."
Gongsun Yue wisely exited his own tent and went directly into the side tent next to him.
The night is getting deeper and deeper, but there is a heat in the air.
"Huh? What is that?"
After a night soldier finished urinating, he saw a sight that he would never forget.
The big trees turned into torches, and sparks shot out everywhere, igniting the surrounding flowers, plants, trees and furniture, and the surging flames turned into a wave of fire, swallowing everything.
"It's gone, it's gone."
The soldier didn't even have time to shake his head, so he pulled on his pants and ran back.
"It's flooded, put out the fire quickly."
"Quickly put out the fire."
"Hurry up."
More and more soldiers joined the shouting business, and the entire camp once again fell into chaos.
"what happened?"
Gongsun Zan rushed out of the tent and was very unhappy when he saw the soldiers running around like headless wasps.
"Brother, you're in trouble."
Gongsun Yue came to Gongsun Zan, sweating profusely.
"If the water breaks out, put out the fire. Will the slightest thing cause the camp to explode?"
After hearing what Gongsun Yue said, Gongsun Zan became even more angry. He just walked across the water and blew up the camp. It seemed that he should take good care of these bad soldiers.
"Brother, it's not that the camp is flooded, but that the mountains and forests in Zhoushan are on fire. The mountain fire is raging and will burn down soon."
When Gongsun Yue spoke, his eyes were full of panic and fear, even when Wen Chou attacked the camp just now, he was not like this.
"What?"
When Gongsun Zan heard Gongsun Yue's words, he quickly jumped out. Looking at the red sky behind the camp and the surging waves of fire, fear appeared in the eyes of this northwest man.
"Stop putting out the fire. This mountain fire can't be extinguished at all. Hurry up and pack up your supplies and evacuate."
"promise."
With Gongsun Zan's general order, the soldiers in the camp did not stop, but began to pack up their food, grass and baggage, and fled to a place five miles away from the fire.
Seeing his carefully built camp being swallowed up by the flames, Gongsun Yue felt an indescribable emotion in his heart.
At the same time, Gongsun Zan still had a big problem in front of him, that is, they had no military tents, no kettles and stoves, and they had nothing except food, grass and weapons.
"Brother, what should we do now?"
Gongsun Yue looked at the embarrassed soldiers and horses, and couldn't help feeling depressed.
"What else can we do, Yan Gang, you lead all the cavalry to Rao'an and collect all the supplies. I will see these things within three days of marching day and night."
Now he can only go to Rao Anzai to collect a batch of baggage. Fortunately, he still has two thousand cavalry to match Gongsun Yue's one thousand elite cavalry. I believe that less than three thousand cavalry can meet the needs of his army.
This place is more than two hundred miles away from Rao'an. It takes three days to travel at least five hundred miles. Although it is a cavalry, it is still a test.
"promise."
Yan Gang nodded in the end, and then roared out with nearly three thousand cavalry, running towards Rao'an.
"Well, the rest will obey the order and go directly to Nanpi."
After seeing Yan Gang off, Gongsun Zan waved his hand and commanded the troops to march towards Nanpi.
"promise."
The distance of fifty miles is neither far nor close. More than 10,000 people were hungry and cold and had to walk for nearly two days to reach ten miles outside Nanpi.
"Sir, Gongsun Zan's army has reached ten miles outside the city. There is no tent. How about we attack the camp at night?"
A man who looked like a general came to Wen Chou and clasped his fists at him to report the military situation.
