Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 13 The Brave Wins
Yuan Xi climbed up the tree, held a cylinder in his hand, looked into the distance for a while, then came down and said to the crowd: "The Huns have retreated into the mouth of the valley."

Qu Yi and Zhao Yun knew soldiers, and knew that the Hun chief on the other side was also a man who knew battle formations. Now that he retreated decisively, Yuan Xi had to face another choice.

If you chase at this time, it is easy to be ambushed by the opponent.

If you don't chase, the other party may take the opportunity to escape into the mountains and lose track.

The three of them did not speak, because Yuan Xi, Zhao Yun and the two armies were in an extremely delicate situation.

Both sides want to annihilate this Hun army, but both sides are competitors.

The general thought so, and so did the sergeants on both sides. When fighting, they could not exert their full strength. Seven points of ten points were reserved for the Xiongnu, and three points were reserved for the opponent.

Yuan Xi suddenly said, "Brother Zilong, you can't go on like this."

"Brother Qu shot at you earlier, it was my fault, how about this, if my troops shot at you before beheading the last Hun soldier, I will give you a hand."

After hearing this, Zhao Yun said without hesitation, "Me too."

When Qu Yi heard this, he wanted to laugh out loud. Zhao Yun must have a very upright character, and he never expected that Yuan Xi's words would specifically target a gentleman like Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun was on guard against Yuan Xi, and Yuan Xi was on guard against Zhao Yun.

Ju Yi knew that if Zhao Yun was really going to get into trouble, he might not be able to stop him at all!

Another pitfall is that Yuan Xi has unknowingly turned Zhao Yun into an ally who can discuss and cooperate with each other!

You know, yesterday the two armies were still preparing to fight to the death at the top of the city.

And after this incident, no matter who wins or loses, how could Gongsun Zan not be suspicious of Zhao Yun?
The number of ways is the idea of ​​Dong Zhao, that bastard who gave Yuan Xi advice and advice!

Thinking of this, Qu Yi not only felt chills on the back of his neck, but he didn't know why Yuan Xi was so accurate in judging people, if he just intercepted an official who escaped from Yuan Shao's hands, he could make the best use of him!

Of course, there is a premise for this. If the bet is lost, the possibility of recruiting Zhao Yun will be greatly reduced.

Although Zhao Yun is upright, he is not a fool.

Neither side wanted to lose, and Yuan Xi couldn't afford to lose.

Now they are all ready to do their best for their respective goals.

Yuan Xi thought for a while, and said to Zhao Yun, "How does General Zhao plan?"

Zhao Yun said without hesitation: "You enter, I enter, and you retreat, I retreat."

When Yuan Xi heard this, he smiled wryly in his heart.

Zhao Yun's straightforward personality is the most difficult to deal with at this time.

Zhao Yun should have guessed the mystery of the cylinder in his hand, he would not take advantage of himself, but he would never miss the opportunity foolishly.

Thinking of this, Yuan Xi said: "I suggest that after half a quarter of an hour, immediately rush into the valley entrance at full speed."

"When the opponent retreats into the valley, it is impossible to immediately build an offensive against horses and traps. Instead, they should retreat for several miles, so as to leave room for attack from three sides, occupy the hillsides on both sides at the same time, and fight condescendingly."

"We just want to take advantage of their idea that we won't rush to the battle immediately, and catch them off guard!"

"However, it will take more than a quarter of an hour for the cavalry to rush in and the infantry to catch up. During this period, the cavalry can only be supported independently, and the casualties may be very high."

Zhao Yun said without hesitation: "It's okay, in order to win, there is no distinction between cavalry and infantry."

"But why not strike now?"

Yuan Xi said with a smile: "This is a fierce battle, and it may take a long time."

"How can I not eat first?"

After Yuan Xi finished speaking, Yuan Xi nodded to Qu Yi, Qu Yi understood, and with an order, his sergeant began to take out dry food and miso from the carriage, and swallowed it with the water in the water bag.

At that time, the rations of the soldiers during the war were a variety of sun-dried and fried grains. As long as they ate two or three handfuls, they could last most of the day's hunger.

Yuan Xi also ate a couple of handfuls mixed with miso. The miso was very sour, but somehow it had a salty taste, and it was mushy mixed with miscellaneous grains, so he could barely swallow it.

Zhao Yun nodded secretly when he saw it, and also called his soldiers to eat.

He thought to himself that the second young master of the Yuan family had a lawful way of advancing and retreating in battle, and he was by no means as unbearable as he showed, he is a good soldier!
If it weren't for the expert guidance behind him, or he was familiar with the art of war since childhood, he is very human!
At this time, the Hun chief had already let the team retreat into the valley. He arranged some soldiers to ambush on the hillside, and at the same time arranged for manpower to start digging pits.

The Xiongnu soldiers had been tired all night, but now they were exhausted digging the pit, and felt that they were exhausted. Some took off their armor to rest, and some began to take out the dried meat in the bag and ate it. The speed is even slower.

Several generals of the Xiongnu saw this and shouted: "Eat after digging!"

After hearing this, the Xiongnu soldiers became even more reluctant, cursing and swearing.

But at this moment, there was a vibration outside the valley.

The Huns sentry on the hillside shouted: "Enemy attack!"

"Cavalry assault!"

Everyone in the Huns felt a chill, it was too fast!
With a distance of seven or eight miles, how could the other party have grasped their own movement so accurately?

The general of the Xiongnu shouted: "Array!"

However it was too late.

A heavy cavalry in iron armor and a light cavalry in ring armor rushed into the valley side by side, and attacked the Huns' main formation in the mountain road!
The Xiongnu soldiers hurriedly rolled out their carts to stop them, and the Hun archers on the hillside shot arrows desperately, but it was too late!

In just a few breaths, the iron cavalry broke into the Huns' main formation!

Seeing this, the Hun chief yelled: "Kill! Kill them all before their infantry arrive!"

The Xiongnu soldiers rushed over, roaring from all directions.

Hundreds of women who were taken captive were in the rear, and someone shouted: "Run!"

Suddenly there was a bang, and the women began to run away in all directions. The Huns who held the formation ran away when they saw the meat shields. They caught up and killed more than a dozen people, but they still couldn't stop them.

Seeing that their clansmen were in a bitter battle, they had no choice but to give up on these women and surrounded the enemy cavalry.

Yuan Xi led dozens of horse archers to follow the cavalry, and when they rushed into the valley, there was already a chaotic mess inside.

After the cavalry troops on both sides pierced through the Huns' rear army, their horses had no speed and were surrounded by several times the enemy. There were enemies in front and behind, and there were archers on the hillside, and they fell into a bitter battle for a while.

Seeing this, Yuan Xi yelled, "Separate up and go up the mountain! Kill all the archers on the mountain!"

He took the lead in galloping his horse up the mountain, and after only a few dozen feet, the horse couldn't go up the slope. He jumped off the horse, bent his bow and set an arrow, and shot at the Hun archers on the mountain as he walked.

When the archers on the opposite side saw him, they fought back one after another. The arrows hit the Zha Jia on his body, making a clanging sound.

The archers under him were excited when they saw that the usually cautious young master of the Yuan family was taking the lead. They shouted and stood guard around Yuan Xi, desperately drawing their bows to fight back.

After another moment, the last sword and shield soldiers finally arrived and joined the battlefield. In the entire valley, fighting broke out everywhere, and there were desperate soldiers everywhere.

The Xiongnu chief shouted loudly, but his heart was cold. Almost all the soldiers on the opposite side were wearing armor, which was too bad for them!

Although the opponent's cavalry got off their horses, the heavily armored cavalry would crush their own side even if they were fighting on foot!
Hundreds of Han women took the opportunity to flee and hide in all directions, they only hoped to stay as far away from the battlefield as possible.

It would be best if the Han soldiers won, even if the Xiongnu soldiers lost, at most they would be captured back, which is better than dying on the battlefield.

However, no one noticed that a woman with black and red scars on her face did not escape, but took advantage of the confusion to hide behind the cart with goods and luggage, trying to open the box above.
