Yan Gang looked at the troops waiting in formation in the distance, and then at the people under his command. Despite such heavy rain, the movement speed had not decreased much, and the ground had not completely turned into mud, so there was still a chance.

He led the army and ran towards Yuan Shao's army in the distance, while raising the straight sword in his hand.

Even in the case of heavy rain, the straight knife still emitted a sharp cold light, which did not diminish at all in the rain.

However, Yuan Shao's sword and shield soldiers in the distance actually took a step back in fear when faced with this situation.

Looking at this situation, Yan Gang showed a satisfied smile. This is how normal infantry should look when facing them.

But then, this group of soldiers returned to their original positions. The smile on Yan Gang's face disappeared instantly, and he led the cavalry to disperse to both sides without directly breaking into Yuan Shao's army.

Returning to the position where Yuan Shaojun's left-wing army originally stood, it was a bloody battlefield and could not affect Yan Gang at all.

Yan Gang stared at the infantry with his own eyes.

Different from the soldiers I encountered before, this is an absolutely elite force, but I just don’t know what their talent is?
At this moment, even the decisive Yan Gang felt a little hesitant despite the heavy rain.

The ground was already a little muddy due to the erosion of the rain, and their speed had also slowed down. It would take some time to run again.

Yan Gang can't guarantee what the ground will look like by then. Will the ground at that time still support his next swing of the sword?

Should I leave with my current record, or should I take a gamble that the impact of the heavy rain will not take effect so quickly?
After looking at the soldiers behind him, Yan Gang finally gave up and decided to charge again. The behavior of the infantryman on the opposite side revealed how elite they were.

Yan Gang was a little worried under such heavy rain. Once blocked by such an army and without movement speed, the archers and crossbowmen among Yuan Shao's infantry could easily strangle them.

After making his inner decision, Yan Gang signaled everyone to stop and rode out alone.

Yan Gang marched a certain distance alone in the heavy rain, closing the distance between the two sides to within a hundred steps, and loudly said to Yuan Shao's infantry camp, which was waiting in full formation, "Who are you subordinates?"

Ju Yi looked at Commander Bai Ma Yicong who came out of the rain, estimated the distance between the two sides, and found that there was no possibility of winning with the weapons in his hands.

In such heavy rain weather, it is impossible to catch up with this distance.

Are you also betting on whether you will take action?If he takes action, the army will be in chaos.

Among the rebels, facing the white horse Yi Cong, death is certain.

Yan Gang looked at the army on the opposite side without any response. He shook his head disdainfully, turned around and left with the army.

There was already mud on the ground, so there was still some trouble.

At this time, Yuan Shao's army could only retreat in the heavy rain, unable to even clean up the battlefield.

...

That afternoon, Yuan Shao's troops returned to the camp one after another.

In the former big tent, Yuan Shao had long lost his previous high-spirited and domineering appearance.

In the military tent, civil and military officials were sitting on both sides. The civil servant side was relatively fine. Xu You, who had received emergency treatment on his hand, Shen Pei, who was pale, Feng Ji, and Tian Feng who was stationed in the camp. As for Guo Tu, In a coma.

However, on the general's side, almost [-]% of the seats were vacant. Even among those sitting at the front, Zhu Ling's eyes were dull and soulless. General Wen Chou was covered in blood and was still undergoing treatment. "How much is the loss?" Yuan Shao asked calmly, trying not to expose the sadness in his heart.

Shen Pei propped up his shaky body and said slowly, "We lost more than 5000 sword and shield soldiers, more than [-] archers and crossbowmen, and nearly [-] spearmen."

"Where are the cavalry?" Yuan Shao, who heard the loss, ignored his trembling fingers and said in a slightly uneasy tone.

"Ninety percent..." The judge looked at Yuan Shao's condition, changed his words, and spoke as quietly as possible.

At this moment, Yuan Shao sat completely in his seat.

"Lord, now that our army has suffered such a huge defeat, its morale has been shattered, and it is difficult to fight again. I suggest that we take advantage of the heavy rain to retreat as soon as possible." Tian Feng looked at Yuan Shao like this and did not give any face to him. Make suggestions.

However, Yuan Shao in this state did not look down on Tian Feng as usual. Instead, he began to think seriously and said slowly, "How long will the heavy rain last? Can it support our retreat back to the city?"

As the leader of the heavy rain, Shenpei said almost as soon as he heard the question, "Such a heavy rain will definitely not last more than half a day, and it will take less than two days for the ground to become hard again."

"Two days? Is it really enough for us to retreat?" Yuan Shao looked at everyone present and said slowly.

How difficult is it for the troops to retreat directly when their morale is low and their morale collapses?

Zhou Subaru sighed at this time, looked at everyone present, stood up and said slowly, "You can retreat first, and Subaru will stay here to break up the rear."

"Among the armies that went out to fight, my army is the only one that still maintains a complete organization. It is still capable of fighting. Relying on the defense of the camp, it will definitely give you more time." Zhou Subaru's tone at this moment also changed. It was quite calm, so calm that it was a little scary.

Seeing Zhou Subaru like this, Yuan Shao stood up from his seat, walked towards Zhou Subaru, looked at everyone present and said, "The crime of this war is mine, why don't you bother talking to Zhou Subaru, I should stay here myself. "

Arriving in front of Zhou Subaru, Yuan Shao was about to reach out his hand and force Zhou Subaru back to his seat.

At this time, Zhou Subaru lowered his head, a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes, and was immediately replaced by decisiveness. His hands made quick movements, knocking Yuan Shao unconscious on the spot.

Everyone in the tent, watching this scene, stood up and looked at Zhou Subaru in disbelief.

"I said, I can just stay. My lord has already fallen asleep. Please take him away, please." Zhou Subaru saluted everyone with a calm face.

Seeing this gift, everyone hurriedly moved out of the way. They could not accept this gift.

Zhou Subaru didn't care about this either. After saluting, he turned around and left.

The people who stayed in the tent watched this scene and saluted Zhou Ang's back with serious expressions.

At this time, Zhu Ling's eyes were filled with disbelief when he saw this scene.

The main responsibility for the defeat in this battle was his left wing. If he wanted to stay, he should be the one to stay. Why, instead, it was the right wing of Commander Zhou Subaru who chose to stay.

Just as he was about to stand up and rush out, exchanging positions with Zhou Subaru, he was stopped by the general on the side, who said to Zhu Ling, "You don't have to go. You have no one under you. Even if you stay, what's the point?" What about using it? It’s better to keep your useful body and serve the Lord well.”

After finishing speaking, the general patted Zhu Ling on the shoulder, looked at Zhu Ling's young face, smiled with emotion, and then walked out.
