Chapter 433 The whereabouts are revealed, the cadre is injured and flees to Montenegro
Gongsun Zan had been fighting for many years and had already developed a decisive and decisive temperament. Since he decided to withdraw his troops, at that night, 50,000 Youzhou troops rushed to Nangong County under the night.
The next day, the Youzhou Army camp outside Yecheng was cold and autumn smoke, and it was extremely quiet.
After Yuan Shao learned of this situation, he hurriedly summoned his civil and military officials to discuss matters.
Xu You took the lead and said: "Lord, this must be because Gongsun Zan withdraws his troops in a hurry after receiving the news that his eldest son went north to Youzhou."
After hearing this, Yan Liang said anxiously: "What are you waiting for? Our army should pursue it quickly!"
Wen Chou has always advanced and retreated with Yan Liang, and now he also said, "Please send troops quickly!"
Yuan Shao was so moved that he quickly turned to look at Xun Chen and asked anxiously: "Youruo, do you think Gongsun Zan has withdrawn his troops?"
After Xun Chen glanced at Xu You quietly, he replied softly: "The enemy situation is not clear. Chen dares not make any guesses. However, the actions of the Youzhou army today are indeed too abnormal. The lord can send a powerful brigade out of the city to fight with the Youzhou army. Perhaps you can find out the truth and check the truth."
Yuan Shao nodded and said, "It's good, it's better to be cautious when marching and fighting. Let's do this. Yan Liang and Wen Chou come forward to obey orders!"
"The last one will be here!"
Yan Liang and Wen Chou immediately stepped out of the list to respond.
Yuan Shao ordered: "You and the other two led 10,000 eleventh altar soldiers out of the city to challenge me, and I will find out the reality of the Youzhou Army!"
Yan Liang and Wen Chou quickly took the order and left.
Soon, the gate of Yecheng opened, and ten thousand halberd soldiers slowly walked out under the leadership of Yan Liang and Wen Chou. When they were hundreds of feet away from the Youzhou Army camp, they saw that the Youzhou Army camp suddenly opened, and a cavalry rushed from it. Before Yan Liang came forward to invite the battle, they saw the cavalry quickly split into two and circled the periphery of Yan Liang's army, and shot arrows from time to time to kill and injure Yan Liang's army.
The sudden change made Yan Liang panic. He wanted to go forward and fight to the death, but with the help of horse speed, he never fought with Yan Liang's soldiers. In desperation, Yan Liang had to order the entire army to raise a shield to resist and retreat slowly.
Seeing Yan Liang fleeing back to the city in a panic, the high-ranking officials also withdrew their troops and returned to the camp.
A general of Baima Yicong asked in confusion: "General Gao, why don't he annihilate this Yuan army, so that we can also promote our army's power!"
The high-ranking cavalry smiled bitterly and said, "Do you think I don't want it. This army was built by Yuan Shao for a large sum of money. He called the "Hallower Soldier", which is specially used to fight the cavalry. If our army attacks rashly, it will definitely be entangled by it. If it is not allowed to escape, it will be exposed. Our mission is to delay Yuan's army for three days. It is only the first day now, why are you anxious about it?"
Yan Liang went back in a dilemma and reported that he had encountered Bai Ma Yicong and was defeated by retreating.
Yuan Shao was shocked and asked quickly: "How much is the loss?"
Yan Liang replied in shame: "More than a thousand brothers have been lost!"
After hearing this, Yuan Shao breathed a little relieved, patted his chest, and said to himself: "Fortunately the loss is not big, but fortunately the loss is not big!"
However, Xu You and Xun Chen noticed a strange thing from Yan Liang's words, and Xu You asked anxiously: "General Yan, only Bai Ma Yicong comes out of the camp to fight you?"
Yan Liang nodded and replied: "That's right!"
Xu You quickly suggested to Yuan Shao: "Lord, it must be that Gongsun Zan ran away. Please send troops out of the city to pursue him quickly!"
Yuan Shao was stunned when he heard this and said in confusion: "There is also Gongsun Zan's white horse Yicong in the Youzhou Military Camp. How could Ziyuan determine that Gongsun Zan ran away?"
Xu You explained: "Just just now, General Yan brought out the city with infantry, and there were only more than 10,000 people. If Gongsun Zan was still in the camp, how could he miss such a good opportunity? If Gongsun Zan returned to the army to retreat north, his army's morale would definitely fluctuate. This is a great time for our army to pursue it!"
Shen Pei took over the conversation and said, "Ziyuan said it is right. There is a chance to annihilate 10,000 people from our army. How could Gongsun Zan let it go like this? It must be that there is only this cavalry in the Youzhou military camp, so he has no ability to take over General Yan Liang's troops!"
Yuan Shao turned to Xun Chen and asked, "Youruo, what do you think?"
Xun Chen smiled bitterly in his heart and cursed inwardly, why do he ask me about everything? I don’t plan to do it with you anymore. However, no matter how much I think about it, he still wants to say it. He whispered, "Chen, please agree!"
‘Ba!’ After receiving Xun Chen’s reply, Yuan Shao slapped the desk in front of him and said loudly: “Since that’s the case, then our army will all be dispatched to annihilate the cavalry outside the city first, and then head north to fight with Gongsun Zan!”
The high-ranking officials thought they could cheat for a day or two, but they didn't know that their actions just now made Xu You and others guess the trick. In just one morning, they were discovered that he was bluffing.
Then, the gate of Yecheng opened again, and the two generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou each brought 10,000 cavalry out of the city and rushed towards the Youzhou army camp.
The cavalry was running with great momentum. Yan Liang and Wen Chou had just left the city, and the senior officials learned the news. They smiled bitterly and said, "Oh, it seems that they can't hide it!"
Soon, the senior officials gathered their cavalry and whispered: "Brothers, we were ordered to intercept Yuan's army for three days, but we didn't expect that we were discovered on the first day. Now, I will take you to fight Yuan's army with death, intercepting them to the death, and buy time for the lord. If you are afraid, leave quickly. I will never stop them. If you are not afraid of death, follow me!"
The white horse Yicong, who was handed over to the high-ranking officials, was his direct military, and his loyalty was quite high. Even if the high-ranking officials said this, they did not move at all. The three thousand light cavalry followed Gongsun Zan for a long time. They had not yet fought at this time, so they would not want to escape. After all, in the hearts of the horse riders, I can't beat them. Can't I run? Is it possible to run with two legs?
After a glance, I saw that no one had gone out of the battle. The senior official wanted to kill the chicken to warn the monkey to show his determination to fight to the death. It seemed that there was no need for that.
At this moment, the high-ranking official pointed the spear in his hand from afar and shouted: "Youzhou Army will win!"
Yan Luo, the high-ranking cavalry took the lead and rushed out of the camp, heading towards Yan Liang, and Wen Chou greeted him. The ten thousand cavalry behind him also followed closely behind the high-ranking cavalry.
Not long after, the three cavalrymen collided in the open space outside Yecheng. In an instant, blood flowers flew and roared continuously. The elite of the white horse Yiconnai cavalry were good at cavalry shooting and attacking. After only half an hour of fighting between the two sides, Yan Liang and Wen Chou's cavalry formation was hit by a scattered situation. From this, it can be seen that the cavalry of Yuan's army was not even a little worse than the cavalry of Youzhou.
Although the cavalry was not good at fighting power, Yuan's army had two powerful generals. Yan Liang and Wen Chou tear apart the crowd and rushed towards the high-ranking officials. The honest Wen Chou hated the unfaithful and unrighteous people the most. As soon as he fought with the high-ranking officials, the two fought hard. In addition, Yan Liang was assisting him. After dozens of moves, the high-ranking officials were defeated and fled.
While running towards his own military camp, the high-ranking officials shouted loudly to his cavalry: "Retreat, follow me to retreat to the military camp!"
It was obvious that the high-ranking officials had already explained that when the cavalry of Youzhou Army saw the high-ranking officials retreat, they turned their horses and followed them.
The two cavalrymen chased each other and all broke into the Youzhou army camp.
As soon as they entered the Youzhou Army camp, Yan Liang and Wen Chou were still a little worried, worried that this was Gongsun Zan's trap. However, after running hundreds of feet, they saw that the military camp was really gone, and they rushed to chase the high-ranking officials.
The high-ranking officials had already escaped from Yan Liang and Wen Chou's pursuit, and were ordering the cavalry under his command to ignite the camp. Soon, the Youzhou army camp was full of fire and flames.
The raging fire made people cry and cough. Yan Liang was shocked when he saw this. He wanted to order the withdrawal of his troops, but Wen Chou was already red in his eyes and roared: "What are you afraid of? The fire has just started, so you will rush over! Brothers, kill the enemy with me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Wen Chou rushing into the sea of fire without hesitation. Yan Liang was stunned. He and Wen Chou had the same siblings as Wen Chou. At this time, he saw Wen Chou breaking into the camp alone, how could he stand by and watch? Gripping his teeth, he followed Wen Chou. The other Yuan soldiers looked at me and I looked at you. However, the main generals had already rushed, and they did not dare to neglect them, and then they howled and kept following the charge.
The military camp was already covered with grease and other objects. It only takes a little spark to burn out a huge fire. As soon as it rushed into the sea of fire, Wen Chou regretted it. However, it was too late. Seeing that his cavalry were following him, he could only grit his teeth and continue rushing forward.
After breaking out of the camp, Yan Liang and Wen Chou's troops lost thousands of soldiers. Yan Liang was so distressed that he almost cursed, but Wen Chou was his brother. No matter how annoyed Yan Liang would not be able to post a cum in public, he had to vent this resentment on the high-ranking officials.
Yan Liang was covered in dust and chased the Youzhou army in front of him, while roaring, "A high-ranking man, I have the will of fighting alone with me, every man!"
Both cavalrymen were light cavalry, and they were running very fast. When they chased each other, they stepped into Zhao without realizing it.
Once we entered Zhao State, there were no official roads like Wei County. The roads were not only rugged, but also bumpy, and some sections of the road were covered with stones. This was originally paved by local people to make it easier to walk on the road, but now it has become a death talisman for high-ranking officials.
The Eastern Han Dynasty had not yet invented the horseshoe, and the war horses were running for a long time, which was extremely depleted. In addition, it was a stone pavement. For the war horses, the result was imagined. As soon as they entered the territory of Zhao, the speed of both sides dropped at the same time, and finally got off the horse and rushed to the road.
For those who are used to riding horses, suddenly dismounting and rushing to the road will definitely not be as fast as the infantry. The cavalry under Yan Liang's command has just transformed from infantry.
The two sides met several times and fought several times, and the damage was quite severe. The high-ranking cavalry was shot in the abdomen by Wen Chou, and there were countless traumas on his body. When he was seriously injured and unconscious, he could only tell the white horse Yicong beside him to escape to Black Mountain.
In the evening, hundreds of white horses protected the high-ranking officials and finally escaped into Montenegro.
Wen Chou still wanted to pursue him, but was stopped by Yan Liang.
Wen Chou asked angrily: "Brother, why don't you chase after me?"
