Noriman looked up to the sky and roared, and the bell-like roar resounded through the battlefield, echoing constantly on the earth.
Yuan Shao retreated with his army. When he heard Dian Man's voice, his heart skipped a beat. He hurriedly reined in his horse, turned around and looked back. Wherever his eyes passed, Wen Chou could no longer be seen.
Not only Wen Chou, but also Yan Liang didn't see it.
Yan Liang and Wen Chou are the two most important military commanders under Yuan Shao. Perhaps they are just good at martial arts and do not understand the art of war, and they also have very bad tempers. A wise man cannot hide his flaws. Yan Liang and Wen Chou are absolutely loyal to Yuan Shao and will not betray them.
Yuan Shao, this is the main reason why Yuan Shao values Yan Liang and Wen Chou.
The two people suddenly disappeared, which made Yuan Shao feel a pain in his heart.
He stared behind him silently, with a sad look on his face.
Seeing that Yuan Shao had stopped, Guo Tu hurriedly advised: "My lord, the enemy has caught up with us. The situation is critical. We should retreat quickly. Once we are overtaken by Li Ru's cavalry, we will not be able to get rid of them."
When Yuan Shao heard this, he was shocked.
Compared to his life, the weight of Yan Liang and Wen Chou was obviously not enough.
Yuan Shao nodded and continued to retreat on horseback.
When the army retreated, Zhang Jaw and Gao Lan also organized the soldiers to retreat. The two of them followed Yuan Shao closely. As long as Yuan Shao did not stop, the two of them would not stop. Although the two of them were against Yan Liang and Wen Chou.
Zhang Jia and Gao Lan felt sad because they were colleagues who worked together after all. Seeing Yan Liang and Wen Chou's bodies unable to be preserved after their deaths, Zhang Jia and Gao Lan felt sad.
The two looked at each other and continued to flee.
In the rear, Noriman led the cavalry of the broken barracks to continuously charge and kill, and the soldiers who fell behind and could not escape asked to surrender.
Behind Dianman, Huang Zhong, Xu Rong and Zhou Cang also rushed across the river with their soldiers.
This time, Huang Zhong and others did not kill all the enemy soldiers. As long as they were willing to surrender, they all gathered together, and the soldiers who resisted were killed directly.
The army launched a counterattack, and the sky was already dark.
The cavalry chased Yuan Shao's army in the dark night. After dark, the road was almost invisible, and they were all killing indiscriminately. In this battle, the tens of thousands of troops brought by Yuan Shao suffered heavy losses and suffered a fatal blow. However, they were killed by the broken barracks.
After all, the soldiers were in the minority, and most of them knelt down and surrendered.
In this battle, Yuan Shao was completely defeated.
…
In the early morning of the next day, when it was just dawn, Yuan Shao's army stopped to rest.
Being chased by Dian Man all night long, Yuan Shao and others were frightened and fled all night. Even though Dian Man did not continue to chase, Yuan Shao still led his troops to escape.
In the early morning, the army stopped to rest.
Yuan Shao was breathing rapidly and looked tired. He dismounted and found a big stone to sit on.
While Yuan Shao was resting, Xu You, Guo Tu, Feng Ji and others came over after dealing with the soldiers.
Yuan Shao asked aloud: "Ziyuan, what are the losses? How many soldiers are left?"
Xu You clasped his fists and said: "Lord, out of the 40,000 soldiers in our army there are only about 7,000 soldiers left. Among them, many soldiers got their clothes wet when crossing the river, and they ran all night without rest.
Well, we have caught the cold. We have more than 7,000 soldiers left. Excluding those who are injured, there are less than 3,000 soldiers who can actually fight."
"What?"
Yuan Shao was suddenly startled, with a horrified look in his eyes.
When he led his troops to kill Guanzhong, he had more than 40,000 soldiers under his command. They were as powerful as tigers and invincible. In this battle, there were only more than 7,000 soldiers left, and there were only more than 3,000 soldiers who could fight, which made Yuan Shao helpless.
Accept. More than 3,000 soldiers were easily eliminated by the cavalry that broke the barracks. How could they continue to attack Wang Can?
Feng Ji bowed slightly, clasped his fists and said, "My lord, we have suffered such a great defeat and it is no longer suitable to fight anymore. Please lord, please return to Jizhou to avoid excessive losses!"
Yuan Shao raised his brows and shouted: "Li Ru has killed countless of my soldiers, how can I just let it go? If I can't defeat Li Ru, I swear not to fight back. Hum, I must defeat Li Ru."
Yuan Shao waved his fists with an angry expression on his face.
When Xu You heard this, he looked at Guo Tu and signaled Guo Tu to stand up and persuade Yuan Shao.
Guo Tu curled his lips and shook his head slightly. He had already made a mistake. Even if Yuan Shao did not hold him accountable, he must have had some grudges in his heart, so Guo Tu did not intend to stand up and speak. No matter what Yuan Shao decided, he only had to obey Yuan Shao's orders.
, anyway, Yuan Shao’s foundation is in Jizhou, so as long as Yuan Shao doesn’t die, there will be no problem.
Xu You rolled his eyes and said, "Master, I have something to say."
Yuan Shao looked at Guo Tu and asked, "Gongze, what do you have to say? Even if you say that I will not be punished." Although Yuan Shao regretted adopting Guo Tu's suggestion, Tian Feng had disappeared and this battle was over.
It has already failed, and there is no point in continuing to pursue the responsibility, so Yuan Shao 'magnanimously' forgave Guo Tu.
As soon as Guo Tu heard Xu You's words, he knew that this guy was trying to catch up, so he had no choice but to say nothing. He thought for a while, then handed over his hands and said, "My lord, I despise my position and think it's not appropriate to stay any longer."
Yuan Shao had an unhappy look on his face and asked, "Why not?"
Guo Tu said: "We were defeated by Li Ru. After the news is sent back to Jizhou, it will definitely reach the ears of Gongsun Zan of Youzhou. Once Gongsun Zan gets the news, he is likely to send troops to Jizhou, making the situation in Jizhou unstable. Please send your lord to Jizhou
Safety is the first priority. Only when my lord returns to Jizhou, pacifies Gongsun Zan, unifies the north, and then sends his troops southward can we have no worries."
After hearing this, Xu You and Feng Ji had strange smiles in their eyes.
Guo Tu is indeed a good talker, and whatever nonsense he makes, it always makes sense.
After hearing this, Yuan Shao felt that Guo Tu was right!
Jizhou is his base camp, and it is related to Yuan Shao's wealth and life, so there is no room for loss. Between Guanzhong and Jizhou, Yuan Shao chose Jizhou without hesitation. After listening to Guo Tu's words, he secretly made up his mind and prepared to return to Jizhou to ensure that
To ensure the safety of Jizhou, we are also preparing to send troops to eradicate Gongsun Zan to solve our worries.
"Da da!……"
At this time, a soldier suddenly ran out of the army.
The soldier galloped on his horse, and when he ran not far away from Yuan Shao, he turned over and dismounted. After being inspected by the soldiers, he walked to Yuan Shao, knelt on the ground, clasped his fists and said, "Report, there is news from Jizhou that Gongsun Zan has done something strange!"
A soldier came from Jizhou to deliver a message, and happened to meet Yuan Shao's fleeing soldiers on the way.
Yuan Shao's heart skipped a beat and he hurriedly asked: "Did Gongsun Zan ever send troops?"
The soldier clasped his fists and said, "Gongsun Zan did not attack Jizhou, but according to reports from the scouts, he has already assembled an army."
Yuan Shao asked again: "If there is anything else going on, please explain it in detail."
The soldier shook his head and said: "Reporting to your lord, this little person only knows so much."
When Yuan Shao heard that Gongsun Zan was gathering an army, he immediately lost control. This news was a reminder, but it also gave Yuan Shao an excuse to return to Jizhou. Yuan Shao looked serious and ordered: "Xu You, order the soldiers to rest for two hours.
Then return to Jizhou. You send soldiers to send a message to Cao Cao, telling Cao Cao that Jizhou is unstable and we are going back to Jizhou."
"promise!"
Xu You agreed and immediately carried out the order.
After the battle was defeated, Yuan Shao led thousands of defeated soldiers back to Jizhou in despair. While Yuan Shao fled, Cao Cao was still blocked outside Hangu Pass and did not make any progress.
