Chapter 346 If one plan fails, another plan
Chapter 346: One plan fails to achieve another plan
The war horses were galloping, and five thousand iron cavalry rushed towards the barbarian army from behind. The barbarian army was caught off guard and suffered heavy casualties. This cannot be blamed on the barbarian army, but the Han army was too cunning and had a head-on war, but the Han army came from both sides.
As the barbarian king, although Shamoke looks like a savage, he is just less cunning than the Han people, but he has a keen intuition that can be compared with wild animals! As soon as the iron cavalry of the Zhenxi Army came out, Shamoke understood that it might be dangerous if he was imprisoned.
"Retreat!" Shamoko waved the caltrop bones and shouted loudly.
The beasts in the mountains will not put themselves in danger, let alone Shamoko, who is much smarter than the beasts.
Even if the barbarians could kill the Han army in front, they would inevitably be chased by the iron cavalry behind. Shamoko was not so arrogant that he could defeat so many iron cavalry by himself, so he made a quick decision and issued an order to retreat.
These barbarians usually live in high mountains and ridges. Although most of them are barefoot, their thick soles run like flying, far exceeding the Zhenxi Army wearing heavy armor. Moreover, their escape method is very special, not to return to run into the mountains. With a command from Shamoke, these barbarian soldiers scattered and ran wherever they are deep in the forest. Even the iron cavalry of Zhenxi Army could not chase after it, and disappeared completely in a blink of an eye.
The battlefield where the iron hooves were just wafting and shouting to kill the sky, but now only bloody corpses are left, and streams formed by blood are formed. Under the warm spring sunshine, it emits a charming bright red, making people feel cold.
Although the battle was not long, the casualties of both armies were heavy and extremely tragic.
Guo Jia and Li Jue looked at the corpses all over the ground and the wounded soldiers of the Silver Fox Camp, and felt a heavy loss. In a sense, the first battle with the barbarians was a failure. Although the barbarians finally withdrew. With the preparations and the ambush, the Zhenxi Army still paid such a heavy price, and everyone could not accept this fact.
At this time, Han Dang, who survived the disaster, also dragged his wounded body to the front of the formation. Looking at the bloody corpses on the ground, thinking about his thoughts, he almost became one of them. Since his debut, he almost lost his life in two rounds. Han Dang, the first powerful general under Sun Jian's tent, was in a heavy mood and difficult to accept.
"Sweep the battlefield!" Guo Jia said lightly as he looked at Han Dang's still bleeding arms.
In the first battle with the barbarian army, the Yin Fox Camp lost nearly a thousand people, and thousands of injured people. Although the casualties of the barbarian soldiers were greater than that of the Silver Fox Camp, and the barbarian soldiers retreated, it seemed that the Zhenxi Army had won. But no one had the joy of winning the battle. The barbarian soldiers were much more difficult than everyone imagined. No wonder these Wuxi barbarians could survive forever and live freely!
Guo Jia looked at Yitou Mountain in front of him, and the forest that began to bloom and the towering peaks, frowned tightly. Judging from the current situation, let alone conquering Wuxi Mandu, even the mountain in front of him could not pass. Guo Jia felt that he had thought it was too simple before, maybe he had won too many battles with Huangfu Jian and was a little arrogant.
"Samoke..." Guo Jia murmured to himself.
Guo Jia understood that if he wanted to defeat the barbarian soldiers, he must first defeat the barbarian king Shamoke.
The barbarian soldiers are like fierce wolves, and Shamoko is the leader wolf king. The wolf pack led by the wolf king is a terrible whole, with strict discipline and orderly advance and retreat. Even evil tigers are afraid of it and they can only escape. The wolf pack without the wolf king is just a group of evil wolves. A group of chaotic wolves can easily be defeated one by one, and can be more fierce than it and make it afraid.
As long as Shamoke, the barbarian king, is present, all the barbarian soldiers will not be considered a real failure, and the Zhenxi Army will not be able to truly control this place. There are two ways in front of Guo Jia, one is Shamoke's death, and the other is to conquer Shamoke.
When Shamoke died, these barbarian soldiers and the 400,000 yuan barbarians in Wuxi became a piece of loose sand. In front of the powerful swords and soldiers of Zhenxi Army, they had to wait for slaughter, which was not to be afraid. If Shamoke could be conquered, it would be even better. Conquering Shamoke alone would be equivalent to conquering the entire Wuxi barbarians.
"Shamoke is too strong. From the perspective of the following, I am afraid that only the lord, General Lu Bu can fight against him." Han Dang stroked his wounded arm and the bloody tiger's mouth. Thinking of Shamoke's terrible hammer, he said with lingering fear.
Although Han Dang has been joining the Zhenxi Army for several years, he has been following Sun Jian and has been training the soldiers of the Silver Fox Camp in Changsha, so he only knows a rough idea of the generals of the Zhenxi Army. He thought that the most powerful ones in the Zhenxi Army were Huangfu Jian and Lu Bu. The others were even stronger than him, and they were not much stronger, or even as much as he was.
Although Han Dang also knew that there were Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Zhang Fei, the three generals of Long, Tiger and Leopard in the Zhenxi Army, he witnessed Zhao Yun’s battle with Lu Bu personally, in his mind, they were still incomparable to Shamoke.
After hearing Han Dang's words, Li Jue felt a little dissatisfied, thinking that Han Dang had a little bit of ambition to destroy his might. But when he saw the terrible battlefield in front of him, he imagined how the Barbarian King riding a monster and carrying a sledgehammer was lying in the rigorous battle formation, his confidence became seriously insufficient again.
Although Li Jue was known as the second general in Dong Zhuo's army, he knew the gap between him and Lu Bu!
"What should I do?" Li Jue and Han Dang finally looked at this young and resourceful military advisor.
"I will send Feige a letter to the lord here, and I will try to lead the barbarian soldiers out of the mountain to fight again." Guo Jia thought for a while and replied. In his heart, he also agreed with Han Dang's opinion. This barbarian king was really amazing. In addition to the lord and Lu Bu, it was probably Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, and Zhang Fei who could not stop it.
After the discussion was fruitless, everyone hurriedly cleaned the battlefield, then withdrew their troops and returned to the camp, thinking of another solution.
Back in the camp, Guo Jia, Li Jue and Han Dang were all worried.
The first thing Guo Jia did was to write today's situation into a letter, and then ordered the pigeon member Fei Ge to pass the letter to Huangfu Jian. The second thing was to order people to find terrain around them that was conducive to the ambush of the Western Army. Guo Jia understood that when encountering a ruthless person like Shamoke, ordinary strategies would not work at all, and he could only use strange strategies.
There was nothing to say all night. The next morning, the soldiers of Zhenxi Army had just finished their breakfast, and shouted loudly outside the camp. Shamoke brought people to challenge him. This time, Shamoke also learned from the Han people and brought only three thousand barbarian soldiers and set up a strange formation in front of the Zhenxi Army camp. From a distance, the three thousand barbarian soldiers formed a big circle, waving the sticks in their hands while shouting loudly. They did not look like they were fighting, but more like they were hunting. They regarded Zhenxi Army as prey.
Now, Shamoke also understood that the reason why the Han army appeared here was to attack his Wuxi Mandu. Compared to the benefits that Jin Xuan promised him, the Wuxi Mandu was the foundation of the barbarians, so Shamoke was not ready to rescue Jin Xuan. At least, before destroying this Han army, Shamoke would not send troops to rescue Jin Xuan.
Han Dang's injuries had not healed, so of course the important task of facing Shamoko was handed over to Li Jue. Li Jue took a thousand iron cavalry out of the camp and came to the front of the two armies. About one mile away from the barbarians, Li Jue ordered a thousand iron cavalry to stand by.
"Dadada..." Li Jue drove towards Shamoke alone.
Although Li Jue was not sure about defeating Shamoko, he still had the determination to fight. As the main general, if he even lost his heart for a fight, he would not be able to fight this battle.
"Hahaha..." Shamoko pointed at Li Jue's big caltrop bone in his hand, laughed wildly, and then said something that made Li Jue vomit blood, "You short boy are here to die!"
Li Jue is eight feet tall, and he can be considered a great man in Guanxi no matter how he is. When did he hear someone say that he is a short person? Although Li Jue is not short at all, he is a little too short compared to Shamoko, a giant. Not only is he short but also small, he is a big size smaller than Shamoko.
The giant Shamoko certainly has a psychological advantage in front of Li Jie.
"I'll endure it! I'll endure it! For the sake of the lord's great cause and for Guo Jia's plan!"
Li Jue gritted his teeth and stabbed him without making a sound. This time he summed up an experience from Han Dang's failure. This barbarian king was powerful and could only be used by tricks but not by force.
Shamoke opened his mouth and smiled "Hehe" and blocked the big caltrop bone in his hand, resisting Li Jue's attack route. Seeing that the attack was blocked, Li Jue hurriedly pulled his spear and turned around, pulled his horse and left. He didn't want the spear to be cut off by the barbarians.
"Boy, where can I go!"
Before Shamoko could make a move, the little guy ran away. Shamoko must be unwilling to do so, and slapped the Taurus Beast and chased. One of them fled in front and the other chased in the back. Thousands of soldiers of the two armies stared at them with wide eyes. The soldiers of the Silver Fox Camp were anxious for their chief general, while the barbarian soldiers cheered for their great barbarian king.
Li Jue looked a little panicked and rushed into a valley with his head covering. Shamoko followed him in, and the distance between the two was getting closer and closer.
"Get up!" Li Jue walked to a dense jungle and shouted loudly.
"Bang bang bang bang..." Just as Shamoko's Taurus beast suddenly appeared.
The Taurus Beast, which was chasing rapidly, was blocked by more than a dozen ropes that suddenly appeared below, and almost turned over, but the result was that everyone was stunned. The Taurus Beast was tall, long, fat and strong, and weighed at least two thousand pounds. The dozen ropes flying out from below not only did not pull the Taurus Beast down, but were led to run away by the Taurus Beast.
Dozens of Silver Fox Camp generals on both sides of the road were taken out and hit the ground hard, and they couldn't get up in an instant.
