Chapter 460
I have never heard of pretending to be a low-class horse, and when have I seen someone deliberately pretending to be a low-class horse? If Guo Jia was next to him at this time, he would definitely explain to Xue Lan: the former is called pretending, and the latter is called low-key. Now, the popular thing is low-key!
However, Xue Lan had no time to think about anything at this time. The strongest generals on his side were killed in one move. They were no match for the first time, and now they could not fight this battle! Now Xue Lan is only thinking about escaping back to the city!
Without any hesitation, Xue Lan made a quick decision to lead the troops to retreat, not even saying a word of the scene, just to avoid delaying even any time. Whether he is afraid of death or cowardly, this reaction speed without any delay is enough to show Xue Lan's ability as a general. It is not without reason that Lu Bu sent Xue Lan to stay in Yanzhou's abdomen.
Unfortunately, Xue Lan met Cao Cao this time, Guo Jia, Xu Chu, and Dian Wei... Whether it is literature or martial arts, Xue Lan's side is not as good as Cao Cao's side, and she is far inferior to Cao Cao's side. So, under the premise that there is a huge gap in strength, does Xue Lan have any possibility of defeating the more with less and making a counterattack?!
At first, Xue Lan did not expect that this was just a tentative battle, but he could kill the general directly; but now, Xue Lan did not expect that on the short road he returned to the city from the suburbs, just before the city gate, there was a light cavalry unit that rushed in front and blocked Xue Lan's way!
If it were the past, Xue Lan would have shouted with disdain: "I'm so desperate!"
Of course, even now, Xue Lan wanted to say, "I really want to die!" Who did not understand the army and did this action to directly kill the soldiers.
You should know that the city wall is the most dangerous place. When siege, you will be very clear that not only will you face the enemy's bows, arrows, stones, and even the attack of boiling oil on the city wall, enemy troops may also rush out at any time in the city gate.
Now, the army that blocked Xue Lan's way not only faced the above two invasions, but also faced the attack from behind by Xue Lan's army. To be precise, it should be facing Xue Lan's main army head-on. The two invasions facing the city wall behind are, in short, they are firmly surrounded in the middle, with no way out, and the right time, place, people and all are not occupied. This is simply putting oneself to death!
Think about it, since ancient times, how many people have gone crazy to run to the front of the enemy's walls to intercept the enemy's returning troops? This behavior is like a direct death. Not only will no one dare to do it!
But now, this most unlikely situation was discovered in front of Xue Lan, and Xue Lan immediately thought of a name Guo Jia! Only Guo Jia, who did not play according to common sense and often made unexpected moves, could do such a thing!
Now Cao Cao is chasing behind the back with the so-called "tiger boy" Xu Chu (Xue Lan guessed it was Dian Wei), and there are dead soldiers blocking the road ahead, so the situation is already very obvious. Was Xue Lan breaking through the defense line first and fleeing into the city? Or did Cao Cao directly encircle him outside?
The result of choosing one of two. But Xue Lan believes that he still has a chance. Although the group of dead soldiers blocking the road ahead are probably not easy to deal with. Although the morale of the army is now low, at this time of life and death, you should be able to fight with the enemy and inspire morale! Then let the soldiers in the city open the city gate and rush out to attack him, Xue Lan, and you will definitely find a glimmer of life!
"Roar!" Xue Lan led his troops to rush over. When people who don't know saw it, they would definitely think that Xue Lan's side was the siege and the other side was the siege guarding the city.
Over there, a fierce and strong man, holding dozens of short halberds, appeared at the front of the team.
"Dian Wei is here! Who dares to come?!" the strong man shouted loudly.
"What?! This is Dian Wei?!" Xue Lan couldn't help but exclaim. As we all know, after Zhao Yun left, Dian Wei was the number one strong general under Cao Cao. If the person in front of him was really Dian Wei, and the person just now was not Dian Wei, wouldn't that mean that this real Dian Wei is stronger than the guy just now?!
Xue Lan's awareness of fighting with the consequences that had just aroused, suddenly disappeared!
This is also an important reason why Guo Jia asked Xu Chu to fight quickly and decide quickly before. Guo Jia wanted to hit the enemy's morale and let the enemy be unintentional to fight. He could only think about escaping. Only in this way can the pressure on Dian Wei's side be reduced. Because even Guo Jia knew very well that Dian Wei's mission was the most difficult and the danger was the greatest. So we can only try to reduce the risk from other aspects!
As long as the enemy is afraid and has no intention of fighting, Dian Wei can easily persevere for a while. Dian Wei does not need to defeat the opponent, Dian Wei can only hold on. As long as Xue Lan believes that it will not be able to break through Dian Wei's defense line for a while, and Cao Cao led his troops behind him, it is impossible for Xue Lan to have the courage to fight to the defense line in such a situation that people are surrounded and do not have the morale to continue to fight to the death.
Just as Guo Jia said, the enemy is unintentional to fight and can only think about escaping. At that time, Xue Lan will definitely choose to escape again. As long as Xue Lan fails to enter the city, no matter whether he can escape in the end or cannot escape, this time Guo Jia’s strategy of “winning with one blow” will be successful!
"Run!" Xue Lan gritted her teeth and shouted.
Not to mention whether the person ahead is Dian Wei, so what if Dian Wei is? The current situation is that as long as you don’t enter the city, you will continue to face endless pursuit of Cao Cao. In that case, it may be possible to escape, but the probability is very small. The key is that Xue Lan has no food, and even if she escapes for a while, she is completely likely to be caught up and intercepted by Cao Cao again!
So, in comparison, the success rate of attacking the intercepting line is still higher now. At least this will be a one-time and for all, right? Besides, no matter how strong Dian Wei is, he is just a strong person. It is no big deal to lose a little force. As long as Xue Lan can successfully escape back to the city, it can be considered a victory!
So, Xue Lan chose to attack Dian Wei's defense without hesitation!
"Roll!!!"
As soon as the first row of cavalry approached Dian Wei, Dian Wei's short spears all appeared in his hand, and all hit it. Dozens of cavalry fell one after another. Seeing this situation, everyone was afraid. Nonsense, even Lu Bu's elite soldiers were so scared that they hid far away when they encountered this situation. No one dared to approach Dian Wei, let alone Xue Lan's miscellaneous soldiers now.
At this moment, the only fighting intention left by Xue Lan's soldiers has disappeared.
Those who can't win, and those who can't win can't win, I think it's better to surrender! Almost all soldiers have this idea in their minds.
And to be honest, many of these soldiers were the defenders of Yanzhou before, which means that they were people under Cao Cao's command. Before, they were all decided by the people above, and they had nothing to do with the soldiers below. They could not decide anything or change anything. (To be continued...)
