Eight hundred and twentieth chapters Yuan Shao fled
Chapter 826 Yuan Shao was defeated and fled
Yuan Shao was relieved when he heard that Sun Jian was in front. As Sun Jian was the first to rush out, he could see him, which meant that they had broken out of the encirclement.
"Sir, Sun Jian failed to penetrate the enemy's defense line in time. I hope he will be punished."
Yuan Shao finally had a fight with Sun Jian, and Sun Jian directly apologized to Yuan Shao with fists in his hands.
"Wentai Yonglie, this battle is not your fault, there is no need to blame yourself."
Yuan Shao looked at the dead bodies on the ground outside the valley and the blood on Sun Jian's body, and knew that his fight here was also very difficult.
Because all the soldiers died facing themselves, this also proved that Sun Jian had been attacking the valley since the beginning of the battle. He had done a good enough job, so what reason did he have to blame himself?
"Then shall we fight in?"
Now that the troops were united, Sun Jian looked at the enemy's unformed military formation, with a glint of fighting spirit flashing in his eyes, wondering when he had suffered such a big loss in his many years of martial arts.
"Forget it, the Euphorbia soldiers suffered a lot of casualties and consumed a lot of physical strength. I'm afraid they won't be able to fight in. So we should evacuate first."
Yuan Shao was really beaten to the point where he could no longer take care of himself. Now that he was asked to fight back, he really didn't dare to do so.
"All right."
After hearing Yuan Shao's words, Sun Jian could only shake his head.
"The whole army went north, bypassed Suixian County, and headed towards Zhangling."
Yuan Shao thought for a while and realized that Yuan Shu was heading towards Suixian. If he headed north, he would very likely run into Yuan Shu's troops, so he directly chose not to go to Suixian and retreated to Zhangling in the northwest.
Yan Liang gathered his troops and fought directly out of Stone Mountain. More than 10,000 Yuan Shao's troops outside the valley were smashed before they could react.
"Yuan Shao has fled. Those who resist will die, and those who surrender will live."
Seeing Yuan Shaojun being dispersed by him, Yan Liang shouted loudly to the soldiers in front of him.
"Yuan Shao has fled. Those who resist will die, and those who surrender will live."
"Yuan Shao has fled. Those who resist will die, and those who surrender will live."
"Yuan Shao has fled. Those who resist will die, and those who surrender will live."
As slogans calling for surrender rang out, Yuan Shaojun's military morale also fell to the bottom.
"I surrender."
"Do not kill me."
"Surrender, surrender."
Soon Yuan Shaojun's soldiers began to lay down their weapons and surrendered to Yuan Shujun beside them.
"Those who do not surrender will be killed without mercy."
Seeing whether there were any soldiers who had surrendered, Yan Liang's eyes flashed with murderous intent.
"kill."
Yan Liangjun gave an order, and the surrounding Yuan Shujun launched an attack on those Yuan Shaojun who had not surrendered. Even if they dropped their weapons now, they were still facing merciless killing.
The battle was like a gust of wind. It started slowly but ended quickly. In a short time, all those Yuan Shaojun who resisted were killed. Seeing their former comrades falling into a pool of blood one by one, those Yuan Shaojun who surrendered were mourning.
At the same time, I also feel extremely lucky. If I had not surrendered in time, I might have ended up like these people.
"Clean up the battlefield and be sent north immediately to report the news to the lord."
Yan Liang did not stop and directly ordered to clean the battlefield, collect prisoners, and collect supplies for Yuan Shao's army. The battle was basically over now. Yuan Shao's 90,000-strong army except for the 30,000-strong army that broke out of the encirclement, the remaining 60,000-strong army were not captured.
To kill is to surrender. It can be said that one battle determines the outcome.
Yuan Shao led his troops and horses towards Zhang Ling like crazy. At the same time, he rode a fast horse one step ahead of them and went north to Wan County to report the news to Yang Hong there.
After Cao Cao's army left Xiling, they slowly marched towards Suixian. At the same time, his cavalry also began to explore the battlefield in the direction of Suixian.
"Zhicai, what exactly is Yuan Shu's plan? Does he really want to attack Nanyang?"
Cao Cao was really full of doubts and worries along the way. He was really afraid that Yuan Shu would hide somewhere unexpectedly and give him a hard blow, and he would be finished.
"I don't know. It would be better if he really wants to go to Nanyang. I'm really afraid of where he is buried. If we come here suddenly, it will be troublesome."
Xi Zhicai looked at Cao Cao. To be honest, he was scratching his head now. Who could tell him where Yuan Shu was? He would be grateful to his eight generations of ancestors.
"No news yet from the cavalry?"
Cao Cao also shook his head. This means that he has just arrived in Jiangxia and has no foundation. Otherwise, how could such a situation happen? This is really worrying me to death.
"Not yet, but I believe there will be news soon."
Xi Zhicai frowned slightly. Jiangxia was so big that it would not be easy to find Yuan Shu. Thousands of cavalrymen would be like looking for a needle in a haystack, but by now there should be some news about how to find the needle.
"Well, the army continues to advance. Don't let your guard down. If there is any news, please inform me immediately."
Cao Cao can only sigh like a macho man.
"promise."
Cao Cao was suffering from the lack of news, and Yuan Shu was also in low spirits, waiting for news from Stone Mountain.
"My lord, are you worried about the situation at General Yan Liang's place?"
Chen Gong looked at Yuan Shu and knew that he was worried about the situation at Stone Mountain.
"Well, I don't know what's going on there. After all, they have to face Yuan Shao's 100,000 troops. If they can't ambush, it will be difficult."
Yuan Shu nodded to Chen Gong. He was indeed worried about Yan Liang's situation. After all, although their soldiers and horses were elite, if the ambush turned into a field battle, it would be doomed.
"Don't worry, General Yan Liang is not mediocre. He will not rashly start a war if things cannot be done."
Chen Gong can only comfort Yuan Shu now. After all, no one knows the situation there, but Yan Liang is not a reckless man, and there are Xu Huang and Gao Shun around him, so he must not make reckless actions.
"I hope so. Do we still need to continue heading north now?"
He couldn't interfere with Yan Liang's situation, so now he could only take care of himself.
"I guess it's almost done at Stone Mountain. We'd better postpone going north until the news about Yan Liang comes, and then we'll have to decide whether to continue going north or go south to ambush Cao Cao."
Chen Gong thought for a moment and decided to stop and slow down for now.
"Well, that's it, the army will camp and rest on the spot."
"promise."
Soon the army heading north began to camp on the spot, waiting for news from Yan Liang.
After waiting like this for two days, a fast horse arrived directly outside Yuan Shu's army.
"Lord, General Yan Liang's scouts are here."
Chen Gong immediately led Yan Liang's scouts into Yuan Shu's tent.
"How is the battle going at Stone Mountain?"
Yuan Shu looked at the dusty scouts with a flash of light in his eyes. He knew that the battle situation in Shitou Mountain was likely to affect the entire Jiangxia war situation.
"My lord, the generals successfully ambushed Yuan Shao's army at Stone Mountain. Yuan Shao led the remaining 30,000 troops northward. Of the remaining 60,000 troops, 20,000 were captured and 40,000 were killed. The entire army was wiped out."
The scout read out the battle situation at Stone Mountain with excitement on his face. After all, more than 60,000 troops ambushed the enemy's 90,000-strong army. It was quite a feat to achieve such a record.
"Okay, okay, this battle was well fought. How were the casualties suffered by Yan Liang and others?"
Although Yuan Shao was crippled in this battle, he was more concerned about the loss of his elite soldiers.
"The losses of the trapping army and the guards were slightly smaller, with nearly 8,000 casualties, and the remaining troops and horses suffered about 10,000 casualties."
The scout quickly told the specific battle losses.
Yuan Shu was relieved to hear that he only lost about 20,000 elite soldiers. This loss was still within his acceptance range.
"Lord, we should think about what to do next. Should we take the opportunity to go north to Nanyang, or go and capture Cao Cao."
