Three Kingdoms: At the beginning, Lu Bu was mistaken for his father-in-law

Chapter 234 233 Defeated, hunt down!

When they heard the word urgent report, everyone in the tent felt their hearts sink.

There are strict regulations for military reports. Except for the urgent [-]-mile, [-]-mile urgent and [-]-mile urgent reports, the highest level is the urgent report.

Every time an urgent report appears, it must be accompanied by some unexpected special circumstances.

For example, what happened in the rear, which troops were ambushed and so on.

Therefore, even the calm Guo Jia stood up startled by this eager cry.

"Quickly tell me what happened!" Xiahou Dun stood up directly from the handsome chair, rushed up, and found that the scout did not have a bamboo slip in his hand, which proved to be a message.

"General!"

The scout gasped for breath and said anxiously: "Suddenly a large number of Lu troops appeared in the direction of the Lujiang River. There was an endless stream, and there was no end in sight. Judging from the queue, there were definitely no more than 2 people!

At present, their forward has passed the Liangzhang Peak, and they can reach the front line of Anfeng before dark! "

Hearing this, everyone's eyes widened in astonishment.

How, how is it possible?

There are still some Lu troops in Lujiang, and we have done some research in the early stage, but they are only five or six thousand garrison troops.

Take a step back and say, if you all move here, there will not be 2 people.

What is the concept of 2 people? As soon as this team appears, it can immediately break Anfeng's balance!

Xiahou Dun clenched his fists tightly, his brows were furrowed, and an uneasy expression appeared on his face. He asked in a deep voice, "What banner is it playing?"

"Department of the Central Army, the word Zhao is big!"

It's Zhao Yun, it can only be Zhao Yun, he is the only one in the Lu army who is worthy of the Zhao character banner.

Everyone couldn't help but gasped, with expressions of panic on their faces, even fierce generals like Xu Huang and Zhang He were apprehensive.

It's not that Zhao Yun is so mythical, he is a powerful person in Xiao Guan, after all, he is the power of one person, and he can turn the river and the sea.

The problem is that Zhao Yun appeared where he shouldn't be.

According to Guo Jia, the North Kingdom is in turmoil right now, and it is absolutely impossible to transfer the few soldiers and horses away.

But the reality is that not only did they come, but Zhao Yun, the number one general under Lu Bu's command, rushed to help Anfeng with an army of [-].

Does this also mean that the North Country has actually stabilized.

If we think about it in this way, have they already taken over Li Yang, and is Xu Chang in danger?

These questions collided in Xia Houdun's mind. Naturally, when he looked at Guo Jia again, he would not have a good face, "Mr. Feng Xiao, did you hear, Zhao Yun is here!"

Xiahoudun almost squeezed out such a sentence, and said angrily: "Do you know how unfavorable the current situation is to our army, and now it is a problem whether the whole army can retreat!"

After the defeat in the night attack on Anfeng, 500 elite euphorbia soldiers in the army were killed, more than half of them. You must know that the total number of euphorbia soldiers brought by Zhang Xi was only 1000.

Coupled with the damaged cavalry and more than 1 troops, those with low morale in the army could not fight at all.

If it weren't for this, Xiahoudun wouldn't have thought of withdrawing his troops before.

Now, Zhao Yun has come, and he has brought an army of 2. Here in Anfeng, there are more than 4 of himself facing Lu Jun with more than [-].
The military spirit that had finally been appeased a little was probably going to be turbulent, even crumbling.

Moreover, this is his home field, and the supply and logistics are very simple, but his own supply line stretches hundreds of miles away.

For a while, Xiahou Dun was so panicked that he wished he could lead his troops and flee back to Xuchang immediately.

"impossible, impossible"

Guo Jia didn't care about Xiahou Dun, just squinted and shook his head.

He didn't believe that Lin Mo could have such a means. It was the North Country, where the Yuan family had been operating for more than ten years. Unless you brought the emperor with him, it would be possible to stabilize it in a short period of time.

Lu Bu, even if he holds the title of Marquis of Wen, it is difficult to avoid his background as a refugee from Bingzhou. Even if the powerful families of all walks of life are fools, there must be many people in the army who are loyal to the Yuan family. How can they mobilize the Northern Army so easily? .

Even Lin Yunwen would definitely not be able to do it!

What's more, the northern kingdom is thousands of miles away, with Yanzhou and Yuzhou in between. If they want to come here, the fastest way is to go down the Yellow River to Xuzhou, and then go around to Huainan to enter Anfeng. With an army of [-], it won't be able to get there in a month or two.

How long it took Lin Mo to enter Yecheng is impossible, absolutely impossible.

"It's impossible, then how do you explain the people the scouts saw? Could it be that the scouts lied about the military situation!" riding whip.

It was these words that woke Guo Jia up. His eyes lit up, and he felt suddenly enlightened. His expression changed from solemn to wry smile in an instant, "I see, I understand, this is not Zhao Yun's people, this team, It was Zhang Liao's troops who disappeared on a rainy night a few days ago, they didn't go to Yanhuiling at all, but took advantage of the rainy night to escape to Lujiang River, and now they are acting as reinforcements!"

It must be so, it must be so!
Guo Jia, who had figured it out, seemed very excited, or in other words, it was a kind of excitement, not only because he saw through the opponent's tricks, but also marveled at the opponent's wrist, which is really amazing.

Taking advantage of the night of heavy rain, the scouts were blind, so they left Anfeng City, let the geese go back to the mountains, and ran to the border city of Lujiang, a hundred miles away. After the heavy rain, they appeared suddenly under the banner of Zhao Yun, pretending to be reinforcements.

The cleverness of this move is that the opponent does not take the battle as a premise, but calculates people's hearts and controls the overall situation. He has already calculated all the timing into it. The morale of the army was under tremendous pressure in an instant.

This person's ambition is not to attack and kill, but to attack the heart, to completely crush and wipe out the morale of a defeated army. At that time, a team of more than 2 people will be no different from sheep. means!
After hearing Guo Jia's explanation, everyone was confused at first, looked around in a daze, and finally thought about it seriously, and felt that it was not completely unreasonable.

However, speculation is only speculation after all, Xiahou Dun was terrified by the sudden appearance of the team, frowned, and said in a muffled voice: "Maybe what you said is reasonable, but I can't gamble with the lives of more than 2 people.

What if this team is really the reinforcements led by Zhao Yun? Do you know that once he reaches the front line, Zhang Liao on Yanhui Ridge can safely attack and cut off our army's retreat. When he reaches the field, Lu Jun will rush like a wolf Come up and eat our ranks. "

He admitted that during this period of time, the various opinions put forward by Guo Jia have indeed improved his own knowledge as a commander, but in the final analysis, there is no substantial return.

Now that we are facing the danger of desperation, we must not continue to linger in Anfeng, we must leave, and we must leave the camp immediately.

Contrary to everyone's expectations, Guo Jia did not object this time, but said softly: "General, I also agree with the withdrawal of the troops, but the retreat of the army always requires a strong general, can you allow me to deploy the rear? "

Xiahou Dun was a little dazed, thinking that he would quarrel with Guo Jia because of differences, and he also thought about it. It would be useless to take out the Tiger Talisman this time. He is the coach of this team.

I never thought that Guo Jia would be so happy. Xiahou Dun, who couldn't react, looked at each other for a few breaths, then touched his nose, nodded and said, "Let me see if you use your troops."

Guo Jia didn't say much, but just brought people to the sand table for deduction.

He figured it out, the people behind Zhang Liao, it's not easy to be true, and it can even be said to be more powerful than you imagined.

He is confident that he can deal with such an opponent, but everyone should be on the same level.

Guo Jia is not sure that he can completely defeat the opponent in terms of strategy. Of course, if he wants to plot against himself, he may not be able to do so.

Under such circumstances, the key to determining the outcome is often no longer a simple strategy, but the background of the war, and the strength of both sides.

The army, logistics, supplies, military spirit, generals, and even each other's temperament may determine the outcome.

But from these aspects, the current side is at an absolute disadvantage, and if they continue to fight this person, they will definitely lose.

If there is no defeat in the night attack on Anfeng, Guo Jia is still confident that he can continue to entangle with the opponent, but what has become of the military spirit and fighting spirit now? Even the coach Xia Houdun is in chaos. One can imagine the following How about a sergeant.

Get out.

At this time, you can still withdraw, and it is wise to withdraw.

Of course, with a team of more than 2 people, it doesn't mean that the camp can be pulled out after the camp is pulled out. The luggage is packed, the food and grass are transported, and then the army is deployed.

If there are really 5 to [-] people on the opposite side, Guo Jia should panic, but he knows that these are just tricks played out of nothing by the people behind the scenes. .

In Anfeng City, Zhang Liao had the feeling that I, Hu Hansan, had returned.

In fact, he brought these people back from the edge of the Lujiang River. Counting the time, he could not enter Anfeng immediately. It would be better to wait for one more day to let the water level of the water drop completely to a safe position.

However, Liaoshen felt that the problem was not serious, and even Jia Xu thought it was fine.

After all, what I have tossed about can definitely make Cao Jun panic, and the army has no fighting spirit.

What's more, even if the breaking water is dug now, it will definitely not be possible to soak Anfeng for a few days if the water is broken.

Of course, the biggest consideration is that they drove all the way from hundreds of miles away, and the road conditions were muddy, and the soldiers were exhausted, so they couldn't go to the fortress outside the city anymore, so let's go directly to the city to rest.

When the scouts reported that the grain carts in Cao Jun's stockade had begun to pull out, Zhang Liao knew that Jia Xu's plan had succeeded. Xiahou Dun couldn't stand the pressure, and finally chose to withdraw.

In war, the most perfect result is of course to destroy the opponent, but the fact is that this matter is extremely difficult to do, and if you are not careful, you may get involved, especially when you do not have any advantages in military strength. To be scared away is already a huge victory.

The problem now is that Cao Jun is about to withdraw, and hunting down is very necessary and can expand the results of the battle.

The normal process of withdrawing troops is to withdraw food, grass and luggage first, and leave the rations for a few days as a temporary stability for the army.

Then there is the front army, and the central army slowly withdraws. In this process, unless the whole line is defeated and runs away, in most cases, a soldier will be left to break the rear.

Otherwise, once they are entangled by the chasing soldiers, these fleeing sergeants will not have the ability to fight at all, and they will collapse at the touch of a button.

"Sir, I want to let go of the pursuit, what do you want, sir?" After witnessing Jia Xu's big show and scaring Cao Jun away, Zhang Liao respected him even more. I am also willing to ask him about things.

"Is the general going to use all the cavalry?" Chasing and killing such things, infantry is useless, and usually only cavalry can do it.

This is also one of the precious places for cavalry.

Zhang Liao stuck his chin in thought, "Three thousand, three thousand cavalry is enough."

Jia Xu twirled his gray beard, rolled his eyes a few times, nodded and said: "If Cao Jun has an ambush, he must retreat along the maple forest, the general can send scouts to check the fire stove left by Cao Jun.

In the army, ten people make a stove for cooking. If the number of stoves exceeds three hundred, the general should be asked to withdraw, and don't chase after them. "

Theoretically speaking, whether it is the soldiers and horses that are chasing and killing or the soldiers and horses that are broken, they must rely on cavalry. The number of cavalry directly determines the number of opponents who are broken.

After all, even if the infantry successfully set up an ambush, once they escaped the protection of the Chinese army, they would have no way to leave the battlefield.

In the night attack on Anfeng, Cao Jun lost many cavalry, but no one knows how many horses he still has, so we can only confirm it with the fire stove.

Because even the broken soldiers and horses will not stay in one place all the time, but will continue to retreat, which will leave the problem of fire stoves.

Zhang Liao nodded knowingly, but he didn't want to leave the city immediately. According to the report from the scouts, they only started to load the grain trucks now, and the army should start in two days.

This is also very good, the brothers have come all the way from Lujiang, they are already exhausted, even if Zhang Liao wants to hunt him down now, he can't do it, he always needs a round of rest.

Zhang Liao was very cautious. Even if Cao Jun retreated completely, he sent people to carefully survey Cao Jun's camp first, to make sure that there were no ambushes there, and then set fire to the camp.

Afterwards, without any fear, he took Yan Liangwen Chou, ordered three thousand cavalrymen and started chasing and killing them along the way.

Along the way, some Cao Jun who were alone, as well as some abandoned luggage and grain carts, were found because they were trapped in the mud.

After the heavy rain, there will still be some places that are not completely dry. In fact, this is not a small threat to the cavalry.

"General! General!"

The scouts running from the front waved their hands all the way, Zhang Liao stopped the army and asked, "How, have you found Cao Jun's fire stove on the Maple Leaf Trail, how about the fire stove?"

The scout pointed and panted, "Yes, yes, yes."

Sure enough, there were soldiers and horses in ambush, but Zhang Liao did not panic.

It is impossible to arrange too many people after the break, and he, Cao Cao, does not run a ranch, so how many cavalry can he have.

"You're talking about the geometry of the fire stove!" After waiting for a while, the scout was still panting, and Zhang Liao became impatient.

After all, the Maple Leaf Trail is more than 30 miles away, running all the way, the scout is probably out of breath, and he can't speak fluently, so he just made a gesture of eight with his hands, "Eight hundred..."

Eight hundred?

Are you kidding me?

However, looking at his appearance, he couldn't explain it clearly.

Zhang Liao gave him an angry look, "Brothers, keep up, let's go up and have a look!"

"Come on!" Yan Liangwenchou responded happily, and tacitly turned to the rear army to ensure that the team would not be stretched too long.

A group of people galloped towards the maple leaf path.
