Chapter 436: The Intimacy of the First World War
"I Guan City's enemy camp was attacked by fire and rain. It was because Lord Zhou Mu and Zhang Ning had led the cavalry back to the vicinity. I think Yuan Shao should consider retreating. You should rectify the soldiers of various departments to prepare to pursue Yuan Shao at any time." After a while of contemplation, Cheng Yuyan said.
While Yuan Shao gathered to discuss the withdrawal of troops, Cheng Yu, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, Chen Lin and others in Pingyuan City were also alarmed by Zhang Ning's previous Tianling Fire Rain skill, and all gathered at the prefect of Pingyuan City. After some exchanges, Cheng Yu also expressed his own analysis.
In recent days, Cheng Yu has clearly felt the huge changes in Yuan Shao's siege, and judged that Yuan Shao must have had a master's assistance. Based on the current situation of the attack and defense of both sides, he came to the conclusion that Yuan Shao might retreat.
In fact, as Guo Jia judged, Cheng Yu and Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, Chen Lin, Wu Anguo and others jointly took charge of Pingyuan City. The overall strength is no worse than that of Yuan Shao's army besieged by the city. The reason why they have never left the city to launch a counterattack is that they have always been intentionally showing weakness, so as to use the city's firmness to cause as much casualties to Yuan Shao's men as possible at the lowest cost!
Cheng Yu is the best at defending the city. In addition, the powerful auxiliary skills of Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, Chen Lin, and Wu'anguo, Pingyuan City is as solid as a god. In the past ten days, the number of soldiers in the city guarding the city has been very small, but the losses caused to Yuan Shao's troops are very considerable. Undoubtedly, the efficiency of this strategy of Cheng Yu and others is very good.
However, in recent days, Yuan Shao's way of siege has changed suddenly. Although the frequency of siege has been reduced a lot, the offensive has become much stronger. The overall efficiency has been greatly improved, and the number of soldiers has also been reduced a lot. Therefore, Cheng Yu and others are almost sure that there must be a powerful adviser in Yuan Shao's account!
"Report to Prime Minister Cheng Guo, you are engaged in the matter. Outside the city, the soldiers of Yuan Shao's troops were preparing to hit wood, ladders and other sieges, and seemed to be preparing to launch an attack again..." Just as Cheng Yu had just made the judgment that Yuan Shao was about to retreat, the soldiers of the soldiers came to report that Yuan Shao's troops were about to launch an attack, which made the people present stunned.
"Haha, this person is indeed very clever. He doesn't know that the military strategy is actually weak, and the virtual one is actually solid. If it is as expected, Yuan Shao wanted to use the attack on the city to cover up his eyes and ears. In fact, he secretly planned to retreat!" Just as the few people were confused, Cheng Yu spoke again.
After Cheng Yu reminded him, the few people thought of this possibility and felt it was very reasonable. So the few people discussed it again for a while and then went to various camps in Pingyuan City. They began to rectify the soldiers and prepare to deal with Yuan Shao's withdrawal.
Perhaps it is limited by objective prerequisites. Even though Cheng Yu is currently in Yang Rui's subjugation mission and has not done his best, in the first duel with Guo Jia around the offensive and defense of Pingyuan City, the balance of victory seems to have turned to Cheng Yu's side. Of course, this is also based on the advantages established by the Pingyuan Guards in the early stage and Yang Rui led the cavalry back.
The fact was just as Cheng Yu expected. After the fourth update that night, Yuan Shao's troops outside Pingyuan City indeed began to clamor, with a very grand momentum. Torches were everywhere in their camps, as if they were to launch an attack on Pingyuan City with all their might!
"As expected, Yuan Shao was indeed going to escape. He ordered all soldiers to prepare to go out of the city to chase the enemy!" Hearing the clamor outside the city, Cheng Yu climbed to the North City Gate Tower to observe and said.
After saying that, Cheng Yu ordered Chen Lin to lead 20,000 soldiers to stay in Pingyuan City alone, while Gao Shun, Zhang Liao and Wu'an Guo each led nearly 20,000 soldiers from the four gates of Pingyuan City, and rushed to Yuan Shao's troops who were clamoring!
"Kill!"
"Catch Yuan Shao!"
"Yuan Shao, don't escape!"
“…”
Even Guo Jia did not expect that there were many guards in Pingyuan City. The number of soldiers of this size, plus several historical and famous generals such as Cheng Yu, would surpass Yuan Shao in the face of head-on conflict. However, he had always hidden his strength and used the Pingyuan City to consume the strength of Yuan Shao's troops!
Yang Rui had long told Cheng Yu and others that they should protect their own strength to the greatest extent while trying to consume Yuan Shao's vitality. Therefore, Cheng Yu and others did not take a more intense approach to confront Yuan Shao head-on.
You should know that it is difficult to train every soldier. At present, Yang Rui and Yuan Shao are facing each other head-on. In that case, even if they can defeat Yuan Shao more happily, the number of soldiers they have lost will not be a small number, but they will only increase the consumption of the points value in vain.
Moreover, the plot points can resurrect soldiers, but the number of resurrections of each soldier is limited, and it will not be possible to continue resurrecting after more than two times. At the same time, the consumption of points will be a very large burden. Each resurrected 4th level soldier requires 300 points, and each resurrected 5th level soldier requires 500 points!
Cheng Yu, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao and Wu'anguo each have powerful auxiliary skills, and have not left the city to fight for more than ten days. Everyone is holding back their energy. At this time, they can kill the lethal force outside the plain city, and their momentum is naturally very extraordinary. In a moment, they killed the soldiers who were clamoring outside the city.
Just as Cheng Yu guessed, there were a lot of noise outside the city before, but these clamored soldiers were indeed chess pieces of Yuan Shao's suspicious soldiers. When Cheng Yu, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao and Wu'anguo rushed to Yuan Shao's camp, they found that all the camp tents were empty and there was no one else, only a large number of torches that were rumbling. Yuan Shao indeed escaped!
Since there was a long estimate of this situation, Cheng Yu, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao and Wu'anguo led their members to chase the north side of Pingyuan City, and Yuan Shao's troops must have headed towards Bohai County in the north.
"kill!"
"Shake...sheke...sheke! Boom!"
“…”
Cheng Yu, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, and Wu'anguo had just chased north for more than ten miles, and they heard the sky dozens of miles away on the northwest side, and the shouts of killing were also red. Everyone had already realized what was happening there. Only Zhang Ning could create such a formation. At first glance, the cavalry commander Yang Rui had already fought with Yuan Shao's defeated soldiers, so the four troops divided into two and headed straight for that place, while the other two continued to chase north.
At this time, Yuan Shao had only infantry in his hands, and the remaining number was no longer advantageous than Yang Rui's several chasing troops. Yang Rui led a group of cavalry to rush out for a while, and it was difficult to resist! The situation was decided, and even if Guo Jia was in Yuan Shao's army at this time, it would be impossible to change the fact.
Fortunately, Guo Jia is not a simple person. Yu Zhanjun and the confrontation was indeed full of strange plans. Before Yuan Shao retreated, Guo Jia had already grouped Yuan Shao's troops in detail, and the number was less than 100 groups. Guo Jia also stipulated the direction of retreat for each group, measures to respond to the enemy, and even the time to stop and stop, etc., which was very detailed. Obviously, Guo Jia also made very careful considerations about the situation encountered during the retreat, and also made the worst plans for the situation he faced!
It is undeniable that some of Guo Jia's arrangements can be said to be amazing, and the group escape method that implies the formation has indeed played a big role. However, this still cannot save Yuan Shao's success and failure. After all, the strength comparison and offensive and defensive situation have undergone a complete change!
"Kill!"
"Catch Yuan Shao!"
"Catch Yuan Shao!"
“…”
Several troops gathered one after another, and the slogan "Capture Yuan Shao" has never stopped since the fourth update. Until noon the next day, Yang Rui and several troops had chased Yuan Shao through the border between Pingyuan County and Bohai County. There were only more than 16,000 soldiers left by Yuan Shao, which was as anxious as a dog that was stranded.
However, almost all of the remaining soldiers were the most precious 5th-level special troops in Yuan Shao's hands - the Golden Armored Soldiers. Of course, this was only preserved with Guo Jia's intentional arrangement. Of course, it also cost a lot of money. The number of soldiers who lost in the retreat was as large as 50,000 or 60,000, which was not the case with the soldiers who were lost in the middle.
"Master of the Alliance, Guo Jia thought it would be better to change the direction temporarily and avoid Ningjin City first. If you go straight to Dongguang County, you will definitely be chased by Qingzhou people..." After half a day of fatigue and running around, Guo Jia's face was pale at this time, but he still looked clear and unconventional and spotless.
"snort!"
However, before Guo Jia finished speaking, Yuan Shao snorted coldly, as if he was full of resentment towards Guo Jia!
With Guo Jiazhi's cleverness, he soon realized the meaning of this cold snorkeling, and of course he did not say the rest. At this time, Yuan Shao lost his troops and generals, but attributed his resentment to Guo Jia!
In the end, Yuan Shao did not listen to Guo Jia's words anymore, but continued to head towards Dongguang County; and the Qingzhou tribes did not chase after him again. In the end, the remaining tribes of Yuan Shao were temporarily safe! However, the more this happened, Yuan Shao's prejudice against Guo Jia seemed to be deeper, and his eyes were even worse at Guo Jia...
However, after Yang Rui chased the border of Pingyuan County, he did not chase after him. Yuan Shao's troops ran too fast and their retreat route was really erratic. At this time, only Yang Rui's cavalry could barely follow, and the rest of the troops followed behind him and searched for Yuan Shao's defeated soldiers.
