Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons

Chapter 2118 Three generals cut off the queen, the reality is empty and the reality is empty

"Lord, the enemy's cavalry is about to catch up, and our army is only about twenty miles away!"

In the middle of the "strategic retreat", Zhao She rode a tall war horse to Zhao Kuangyin's side to report.

"It came really fast!" Zhao Kuangyin sighed.

Although it seems that the three directions are all directions for breaking out, it is certainly impossible for all three directions to be real soldiers and horses. Only Zhao Kuangyin's path is still Zhao Kuangyin's real main force.

The other two routes are just disguises.

Zhao Kuangyin was prepared that the Jin army would catch up. Therefore, using this method to delay the Jin army's pursuit was to distract the pursuing generals and troops.

And once the enemy catches up, it will be a bit difficult for them to conceal their true identity as they do now.

It won't take long for the remaining two chasing Jin soldiers to receive the news. They will know that the two chasing soldiers and horses must be fake, and they will change their direction as soon as possible.

And with the speed of the cavalry, it is much easier to outflank them.

This is why Li Xiang dared to divide his troops so boldly to pursue him.

The mission of the pursuing cavalry is not to annihilate the enemy, but to delay the enemy's movement.

"Meng Tianlei, Yu Jin, and Wang Yan, lead 10,000 troops and horses to continue to break the rear!"

"I don't care whether you surrender or fight to the end, but I only ask you to delay here for an hour!" Zhao Kuangyin pointed out three generals from behind.

"The general will get the order!"

The three of them had mixed feelings at this time.

Among the three of them, at least the last two are not the kind of people who are willing to resist until death.

But what Zhao Kuangyin said made them unable to surrender directly. Regardless of whether they really surrendered or were forced to surrender alive, if that was the case, they wouldn't even be able to pass the test in their hearts.

"Hey, I have to fight for my life this time!" Yu Jin sighed.

Although he was not prepared to fight to the last moment for Zhao Kuangyin, he had to hold on to at least one hour, this hour.

In an hour, he was worthy of Zhao Kuangyin.

After that, no matter what he was doing, he had a clear conscience.

"Humph, a bunch of rats!" Meng Tianlei snorted disdainfully.

In the hands of Zhao Kuangyin, although he is not the one who is very reused.

However, in all fairness to him, Zhao Kuangyin had never felt sorry for him.

He is a relatively pure person. Since the monarch has not failed him, he will not fail Zhao Kuangyin.

Anyway, he is a bachelor and he is not as burdened as others.

"Lord! Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were lost along the way!" Luo Yanhuan's tone was filled with distress.

The more than 20,000 and 30,000 soldiers and horses who stayed with Zhao Guangyi in the city, and the remaining two groups of soldiers and horses who were regarded as virtual soldiers. The soldiers and horses that have just been cut off from the rear have not been fought yet. The real battle has not been fought yet. Five or six thousand soldiers and horses. The soldiers and horses are gone!

"They're just some new recruits and weaklings! What's the use of keeping them?"

Zhao Kuangyin didn't care about these things at all. These soldiers and horses were left behind on purpose by him. The soldiers and horses assigned to the other two groups as virtual soldiers are actually just giving some clothes and armor to each of the people in the city to dress up! Zhao Kuangyin said those were new soldiers, but he actually praised them.

With such soldiers and horses, Zhao Kuangyin said that no matter how much he lost, it would be difficult to create big waves in his heart.

Although the 10,000 people who stayed in Chen County were indeed Zhao Kuangyin's regular troops, Zhao Kuangyin didn't feel sorry for them.

To put it very intuitively, his food and grass could no longer support him to maintain so many soldiers and horses.

This was Zhao Kuangyin's choice to screen out those with relatively weak combat effectiveness and allow them to play their final role, while retaining those with relatively stronger combat effectiveness.

With food and grass no longer available to maintain so many troops, this was the best solution he could come up with.

If it weren't for the fact that he was about to run out of food, even if it was to leave a root for the old Zhao family, he would not have given up Chen County so easily.

"My lord, why don't you lead the cavalry and horses first, and let the general lead the infantry behind!" Zhao She suggested.

Although war horses in the Central Plains are also very precious, after all, war horses are not as expensive as those in the south.

The further south the war horse goes, the price will rise step by step.

Zhu Yuanzhang was able to arm a certain number of soldiers and horses, and Zhao Kuangyin certainly could.

At that time, it was not only Zhu Yuanzhang but also Zhao Kuangyin who received a large amount of gold and silver from the Japanese country.

Opening up the sea line to Li Tang was not only the work of Zhu Yuanzhang alone, but also the work of Zhao Kuangyin.

Therefore, there was finally a considerable number of cavalry troops. Especially after Zhao Kuangyin basically unified the Central Plains. Although the Central Plains was flourishing at that time and money was everywhere, he still gritted his teeth and further expanded the cavalry force because of the huge losses suffered by Huo Qubing.

Integrating the cavalry prisoners from Cao Cao's forces and the Yellow Turban forces, the cavalry troops in the Central Plains were reorganized.

Among the more than 400,000 troops in the Central Plains, a total of 40,000 cavalry troops were formed.

Of course, only 30,000 northern war horses were purchased.

The remaining ten thousand, like some of Zhu Yuanzhang's cavalry, were not very sophisticated and used short horses from the Japanese state.

Of these 40,000 cavalry, China lost thousands of them one after another in the war. Among the remaining, 10,000 were with Zhao Kuangyin.

"No need! With so many soldiers here, how can I only care about the danger of one person!" Zhao Kuangyin firmly refused.

He was already so thin that he seemed to be in a panic. If he really left early alone, I am afraid that some of the people below would really surrender to the enemy.

Even if he knew the danger, he still had to stay here and advance and retreat with the soldiers.

"We will arrive at Xinping soon. Let the soldiers pass directly without stopping!" Zhao Kuangyin sighed.

Although he was about to reach a city, Zhao Kuangyin was not prepared to defend the city.

Such a small town does not have the conditions for long-term defense.

If they really thought that this city could help them defend, it would be no less than indirectly entering a death row.

After Zhao Kuangyin's soldiers and horses arrived in Xinping, a large number of soldiers wearing Xuzhou Army uniforms poured out immediately. This was Zhao Kuangyin's old trick again, disguising the young and strong people here as soldiers to confuse the Jin army. Sight.

After the Xuzhou Army soldiers and horses arrived here, they were divided into three groups of soldiers and horses as quickly as possible, another tactic that was both false and true.

Soon after, Zhao Yun, who defeated Meng Tianlei who was behind, led his cavalry to catch up, but faced Zhao Kuangyin who was re-divided into three groups of troops. At this time, he encountered difficulties. For a moment, it was impossible to tell which road was true or false.
