The first general of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 153
"Yes, I ask my brother to retreat."

After Zhou Yu took a deep breath, he spoke seriously.

"Retreat? How to retreat? To Mayi, or to Yanmen Pass?"

Wei Tao frowned slightly, but he knew that Zhou Yu's words were not that simple, so he fixed his eyes on Zhou Yu, waiting for his next words.

"Retreat, retreat all the way, and retreat all the way to Yanmen Pass. In this way, there is a [-]% certainty that we will win in one fell swoop, and it will still cause the Xiongnu to split. Under internal and external troubles, the Huns will not be troubled by my big man within a few years."

Zhou Yu was well aware of the danger in his scheme, so he took another deep breath before continuing.

"Now that our army is weak, we have to come up with a plan to respond to it. As the lord said, the Xiongnu want to target our army now. If they are stalemate, they will still work together. But if we retreat slowly, they must Divide and march."

"You mean to advance by retreating and defeat each one? It can be said that the cavalry chasing footsteps has the upper hand. Even if there is an ambush in advance, the Hun cavalry can follow them. If there is any change, they will retreat. I can't help it, as for splitting up the attack, it is more likely that the opponent will seize the opportunity, how can I get it?"

Wei Tao's face was a little heavy. Although he trusted Xun You and Zhou Yu, it was impossible for Wei Tao to let everything go his own way.

Moreover, retreating in this way will have a great blow to morale, and a little carelessness will turn into a real retreat.

"We are also aware of the lord's concerns, but it is not difficult for us to retreat."

At this moment, Xun You spoke.

"But secretly, first move the people of Mayi to Yanmen Pass, which the lord has already ordered, and then I will use bluff to paralyze the Huns, and then tie the drumsticks to the sheep's feet to make them beat the drums, and then get away and leave. Go. Although there is some distance between Mayi and Yanmen Pass, if you march quickly, you may not be unable to reach it in one day. Even if the Xiongnu have fast horses, it will take a lot of time to assemble the army. It’s really not a matter of one hour or three minutes to catch up.”

"And we can still make several generals lead the army back, although it is difficult to achieve results by ambush. But now our army has a lot of horses. Although the men in Bingzhou are not as good as the Xiongnu, they are not lacking in riding skills."

At this time, Zhou Yu also began to persuade.

"Although this is still not comparable to the Xiongnu, it is enough to temporarily repel the Xiongnu."

Seeing Zhou Yu and Xun You being so united, Wei Tao also fell into deep thought.

In fact, when the two of them opened their mouths, Wei Tao already understood what their plan was, but this plan was a bit dangerous. One mistake would be to hand over all the troops behind the palace, or even let the Huns cavalry unite again. stand up.

So even Wei Tao had to think hard about how to act.

At this time, Zhou Yu and Xun You also stopped talking, after all, Wei Tao had to make the final decision himself.

After a while, Wei Tao let out a long breath of relief.

"Gongjin and Gongda, I trust you two with all my heart. Now that you have this plan, then follow it. If it succeeds, you should make the first contribution this time!"

"Thank you, my lord!"

For Wei Tao's trust, both Zhou Yu and Xun You felt a burst of excitement in their hearts.

The Huns are not used to schemes, so what Zhou Yu and his two planned was implemented smoothly. First, they sent people to startle the Huns with the sound of drums.

However, after the Huns were alarmed, they only strengthened their security patrols, and there was even a sense of "you beat the drums and I don't hear them".

And Wei Tao ordered the people to retreat secretly, and then tied a few sheep to the drums to keep beating them, as if Wei Tao and others were still stationed in the barracks.

In fact, the Xiongnu's reaction was faster than Zhou Yu and Zhou Yu had expected.

Of course, this is actually not to blame for Zhou Yu and the two, who would have thought that after being attacked by Wei Tao once, Qiang Qu was also very unwilling, and he was thinking about returning from the sneak attack.

However, even though Qiang Qu had discovered something, he would not dare to let him chase Wei Tao alone. The previous two losses made Qiang Qu feel terrified.

Although notifying the other Huns somewhat weakened Qiang Qu's aura, I have to say that even Wei Tao was still worried and worried when many Huns made a move.

"My lord, the Xiongnu have already divided into several teams and chased after them. Please retreat quickly, my lord."

This time Wei Tao still did not retreat first, but led Zhao Yun and Dian Wei, as well as his own cavalry to intercept the enemy all the way.

Of course Wei Tao dispatched another route, led by Zhang Liao, with Xu Huang, Yu Jin, and Pan Feng as deputy, also leading an army of cavalry to intercept.

"Which way is the Huns coming to us?"

Wei Tao ignored Zhao Yun's kindness, but simply asked.

"Looking at the flag, it seems to be the troops of the Naqiangqu Road. It seems that the lord is indeed the nemesis of the Naqiangqu. I have already investigated the Naqiangqu Road. Its progress is quite slow, and a large number of rangers have been sent."

Zhao Yun was already prepared for Wei Tao's suggestion of ignoring him, so he replied immediately.

"And it's not just that, the Xiongnu not only have conflicts among the tribes, but also the army of the Qiangqu is not stable. I think some of its troops seem to be a little dissociated, and the connection with each other is very sparse. It should be The impact of the last time Navro escaped alone."

Zhao Yun's ability is indeed not bad. Wei Tao sent him out to investigate, and he has basically understood all the situations.

"It seems that the Huns are not doing well."

Wei Tao smiled coldly, and asked Zhao Yun casually.

"Zilong, do you have any suggestions?"

Because Zhao Yun did not lead the army alone before, even if he was in Jizhou with Zhou Yu at that time, he actually followed Zhang Liao to go out more. Although he already had a lot of battle experience, even Wei Tao did not dare to order him to lead the army alone.

"My lord, since the Xiongnu army seems to be divided, why not attack one army alone to divide it? From a cloud point of view, if we attack and kill Qiangqu and only send people to contain Fuluo, it is very likely that we let those Yu Fuluo ignored Qiang Qu."

"Oh?"

Wei Tao's eyes lit up slightly, obviously he didn't expect Zhao Yun to answer like that.

"Yes, I have heard from two military advisers that Qiangqu has two sons who are the most outstanding, and Qiangqu also intends to choose one of them as his successor. One of them is Yu Fuluo, and the other is named Jiaohu Chu Quan. Now Yu Fuluo must know that Qiang Qu has a grudge against him, so naturally he won't be willing to spend his subordinates to help him."

Zhao Yun talked eloquently, obviously Zhao Yun also put a lot of effort into the art of battle formation.

"well said!"

Wei Tao nodded slightly, affirming in his heart that even if Zhao Yun led the army alone, it was obviously no problem.

But this time Wei Tao is still ready to do it himself.

Although the Qiang Qu sent a large number of rangers, the Xiongnu galloped on the grassland all year round. There were so many of them. When investigating, they mostly scanned with their eyes. Although some Xiongnu who were proficient in tracking chased after Wei Tao and others, but Basically everything has been cleared.

"Kill with me!"

There were not many places to lay an ambush outside Yanmen Pass, so this time Wei Tao didn't wait until the opponent entered the ambush circle, and then directly launched an attack with a loud cry.

Immediately, two thousand cavalry followed Wei Tao and rushed out to kill Qiang Qu.

Qiang Qu led a total of 5000 people, so it should not be any panic in the face of such a situation.

But at this moment, he saw that [-] cavalrymen quickly separated from Qiang Qu's place, as if letting Wei Tao do his thing.

"Yuffro!"

Qiang Qu was trembling with anger. He had also noticed Yu Fuluo's mistake before, but he never thought that Yu Fuluo would dare to do so.

On the contrary, Wei Tao couldn't help but be delighted to see this, and took back all the troops he was going to send out.

"kill!"

Wei Tao led the people like a sharp knife into Qiang Qu's army.

The cavalry had to run to be able to exert its greatest power, because Yu Fuluo's action was actually a beat slower. At this time, the cavalry didn't even have a speed, and they were directly charged by Wei Tao.

Of course, this does not mean that Wei Tao will be able to gain the upper hand. On the surface, he looks a bit suicidal when he rushes into a place with a few cavalry.

In fact, this is also the case. Rao Wei Tao has the advantage of charging, but after one round, the casualties of the troops led by Wei Tao are only slightly less than that of the Huns.

"kill!"

However, after a wave of impact, Wei Tao had already disrupted the opponent's formation, and immediately turned around to fight again.

With Wei Tao's bravery at this time, this time no Huns were willing to face the enemy head-on, and they retreated one after another, but it made Wei Tao even more successful.

"Is this person Lu Bu the 'Wild Wolf'? No, although the 'Wolf Wolf' is powerful, he is not as cunning as this person. He absolutely cannot let this person live!"

At this moment, Yu Fuluo's eyes suddenly flashed fiercely, and he ordered suddenly!

"The army, kill!"

Immediately he led people to kill Wei Tao, and if there were Xiongnu under Qiang Qu's men standing in front of them, Yu Fuluo would kill them together without hesitation.

If Wei Tao had really ignored Yu Fuluo before, then it is not impossible that he would have died because of this sudden attack.

But how could Wei Tao ignore Yu Fuluo?
"withdraw!"

Wei Tao knew that if the [-] Huns surrounded him, he would really lead people to death. Although he gave the order, Wei Tao swung his halberd and turned around to charge at Yu Fuluo.

Wei Tao's move was very abrupt, everyone including Zhao Yun rushed out, no one would have thought that Wei Tao would dare to do this.

"what!"

That Yu Fuluo was also leading the army and rushing straight ahead, how could he have thought that Wei Tao would attack by himself so disregarding himself.

Surprised, he didn't dare to move forward, but retreated.

As soon as he retreated like this, the Huns who were chasing him immediately stopped.

But who would have thought that Wei Tao was just trying to frighten Yu Fuluo, as soon as he pulled the rein, the Xuelong horse, who understood human nature, turned around and caught up with the former army.

Although Wei Tao's action seemed very reckless, the effect was good, and he escaped easily until the end.

However, when Wei Tao got away from the opponent and touched his remaining troops, his face still couldn't help but suddenly sank.

In this battle, more than [-] people were lost. Although the Xiongnu basically died as many people, Wei Tao knew that he really didn't have many cavalry.

However, after the attack this time, the conflict between the Qiangqu troops was deepened, and the pursuit was slower, so there was no need to worry too much.

After joining Zhang Liao, Wei Tao found that Zhang Liao's losses were similar.

Unlike Wei Tao, Zhang Liao used the method of harassment. He, Xu Huang, Yu Jin, and Pan Feng each led a part of the soldiers, and fought against the Xiongnu with their own bravery.

In this way, thanks to Zhang Liao and others' superior martial arts, although the Xiongnu was also an expert in harassment, they still allowed Zhang Liao and others to attack and kill many people.

Of course, Zhang Liao also suffered a lot of injuries, and the result was similar to that of Wei Tao.

But in any case, Wei Tao and Zhang Liao delayed the pursuit of the Huns.

This retreat directly retreated to the outside of Yanmen Pass, but according to Zhou Yu and Xun You's plan, they did not retreat into Yanmen Pass.

Although Yanmen Pass is safe with high walls and thick walls, it is also very difficult to open Yanmen Pass. If you want to stick to it, there is no problem, but if you want to counterattack, it is not so easy.

"It has retreated so far, and the Huns are pressing harder and harder. It's time to 'advance', right?"

This time Wei Tao asked Zhou Yu and Xun You very directly. If he retreated again, even with his own prestige, I am afraid that his soldiers would not dare to fight the Huns again.

"My lord, it is indeed time to fight back."

Zhou Yu and Xun You looked at each other, Qi Qi just smiled and then said.

"Oh? I don't know what Gongjin and Gongda are up to? Although the camp is still set up like this, it seems that it can accommodate 4 soldiers, but there are only [-] of them, and the [-] soldiers have already Was it settled by you on the way back from the retreat?"

Wei Tao said directly that he didn't interfere too much in this matter, which was his trust in Zhou Yu and the two of them.

"Yes, my lord, everyone is ready, just wait for the arrival of the Huns. After this battle, I will make the Huns dare not look south for ten years!"

As soon as Xun You cupped his hands, he said confidently.

Not only Xun You, Zhou Yu also had a slight smile on his face, looking very confident.

"Oh? Is that so?"

Wei Tao was very surprised. Although he also saw some things, in Wei Tao's opinion, these arrangements can at most have a [-]% chance of winning, and even if they win, it will not make the dignified Huns dare not look south Bar?

"Hehe... My lord, this time Gongjin and I have prepared a plan for the Xiongnu."

Xun You bowed his hand again, and said with a rare smile.

"Ambush from ten sides!"
