The Three Kingdoms: The Cold Gate World

Chapter 167
There was no garrison of Li Jue and Guo Si at Xiongguan Wuguan in the south of Guanzhong. What they were worried about was Yuan Shao, the most powerful of the Guandong heroes, so Wuguan did not have troops stationed. Yan Yan easily occupied Wuguan and guarded it narrowly.

At the junction of Hedong and Hongnong, Li Jue and Guo Si pursued the emperor and his party, but they were attacked unexpectedly by the Southern Huns Zuo Xianwang and Baibo bandits, and they returned in a complete defeat.

At first, Zhang Ji, who welcomed the emperor to Sizhou, saw that the situation was not good and he could not control the emperor, so he ran away immediately looking for an opportunity.

Li Jue and Guo Si, who had just passed Tongguan with more than [-] remnants and defeated generals, complained to each other all the way, blaming each other for their previous mistakes and blaming each other for the current precarious situation. , otherwise it will be even weaker. What they have lost now is political power, and there are still more than [-] remnants of military power.

Neither of them was the type to think for a long time, the supplies in the army were exhausted, the two planned to return to Chang'an first, and then find out where there were still supplies for them to plunder, and then send troops to plunder the military supplies.

On their way back to Chang'an, they could have entered the county town to rest, but they burned, killed and looted all the way, and got very little. They had to speed up their return journey. Firstly, they were worried about the Southern Huns chasing after them. The materials in the store, and then make plans.

In the wilderness south of the Wei River and west of Zheng County, Li Jue and Guo Si set up their tents before dark, intending to rest here for the night.

Half of their army is Liangzhou Han, half is Qianghu people, they are brave and fierce, but their military discipline is loose. They go out to fight or plunder during the day, and sleepy and sleepy at night. The vigilance will be greatly reduced at night, and the immediate effect cannot be achieved by the generals suddenly ordering them to cheer up.

As night fell and the sky was dark, more than [-] soldiers of Li Jue and Guo Si formed a barracks in chaos.

The patrolling soldiers sat on the grass in twos and threes with their weapons in their arms. Some of them were sleepy and dozed off, while others were already snoring like thunder.

They are defeated soldiers, their morale is low, and they have no fighting spirit at all. At this moment, they are exhausted and feel that they are suffering endless pain.

The night wind blew, the vegetation swayed, and there was a whirring sound.

Guanju Mountain, the birthplace of Luoshui, is just south of where Li Jue and Guo Si camped. At the foot of the mountain, ten thousand horses are tied together in an orderly manner. Not far from the horses, there are five large camps organized in an orderly manner. .

Each battalion only lit a little fire on the periphery, and their vision was dim, but they had enough vision to detect the surrounding situation.

In the middle camp, Gan Ning walked out while issuing military orders.

As early as a day ago, he had grasped the movement of Li Jue and Guo Si, and sent out ten waves of scouts to send back information every half an hour.

When Li Jue and Guo Si returned to Chang'an, they must have walked the shortest distance in a straight line. Whether they were resting in the county at night or passing by during the day, Gan Ning would be able to attack them unprepared.

However, Gan Ning did not expect that Li Jue and Guo Si would dare to camp in the wild.

What a godsend!
Yinling Flying Cavalry consisted of 1 people, divided into five battalions, Gan Ning led one battalion himself, and the other four battalions were led by school lieutenants under Gan Ning's command and dispatch.

In the silent night, the five gleaming battalions quietly extinguished the bonfire, packed up their luggage, and every soldier moved quickly to execute the military order.

The horses were brought in, and the scattered troops gathered into a neat army in the blink of an eye.

Wearing light armor, with white feathers inserted on the shoulder armor and helmet, the soldiers of the Silver Feather Flying Cavalry were full of energy and did not feel sleepy or lazy at night.

This is the effect of strict military management, orders and prohibitions, and the ability to overcome various difficulties.

At midnight, Gan Ning led Yinling Flying Riders northward to rob the camp!
When it was more than an hour before dawn, Gan Ning and his army were less than ten miles away from Li Jue and Guo Si's camp. They hadn't galloped before, fearing that the sound of horseshoes would disturb the enemy.

With a resolute expression and sharp eyes, Gan Ning took the torch that was lit by his men, raised the torch and threw it forward, the torch fell through the air, and the light swept across a trajectory like a half moon.

That's the order!
The whole army of Yinling flying cavalry charged, and the troops were divided into five groups to attack the enemy's camp at night!
The exhausted army of Li Jue and Guo Si was sleeping. The sound of horseshoes came from all directions. Some people screamed and bombed the camp, while others slept soundly.

Li Jue hurriedly put on his armor and walked towards the outside of the camp. Seeing the chaotic scene in the camp, he drew out his saber and roared, "Calm down, everyone, and prepare to meet the enemy!"

Before the Yinling Flying Cavalry could kill them, the sound of horseshoes in the distance scared them out of their wits.

An army that has suffered a defeat and is unstable is most afraid of accidents. Soldiers with weak psychological defenses will be startled, causing a chain reaction, leading to the bombing of the camp. Before the enemy arrives, they will mess up themselves first. Killing, mistakenly thinking that the person next to him is the enemy.

Guo Si ran out of the camp with bare feet. Seeing this scene, he quickly took up his weapon and put on his armor, led his horse and called his men to flee for their lives. Li Jue yelled for a long time with little effect.

噗

The patrol soldiers outside the camp continued to fall down, the war horses roared into the camp, and Yin Lingfei rode five people and horses to sweep in!

The silver-feathered flying cavalry with spears do not have the ability to control strings, but they have strict military discipline and rigorous execution of tactics, so they can be called strong soldiers!
Five groups of people copied Li Jue and Guo Si's camp from the south and east. The speed of the horses did not decrease, and they charged all the way. The Yinling Flying Cavalry entered from the southeast like a gust of wind. Wherever they passed, blood danced all over the sky!
Gan Ning took the lead and led his army to charge in from the south, circle around and head westward without stopping. Although Gan Ning killed countless enemies, he was very disappointed. Because of the chaos in the camp, many of the enemy troops fled north. Those who are left are those who have no strength to fight back.

Li Jue and Guo Si were never seen. Gan Ning's military order was to retreat with one blow, so the Yinling Flying Cavalry swept away from the southeast and did not stop. Withdrew in the direction of Chang'an.

It's hard to count how many enemies the silver-feathered flying cavalry galloped at full speed in this battle. They swept past like a storm, and even if the enemy wanted to chase them, they might not be able to catch up.

The Yinling Flying Cavalry, whose losses were less than [-], won the first battle. After dawn, Gan Ning led his army to retreat to Chang'an.

"General, Li Jue and Guo Si's camp is in chaos and there is no way to fight back. It seems that they will be wiped out, why don't we take advantage of the victory and pursue them?"

Gan Ning was a little disappointed when he failed to capture or kill Li Jue and Guo Si, but he raised his face and looked at the bright sky, and said calmly: "The establishment of the Silver Feather Flying Cavalry is due to the Lord's painstaking efforts. The Lord regards it as a rare soldier If the damage is serious, I will have failed my lord's high hopes. Last night's robbing of the camp was a complete victory because of adequate preparations and surprise attack. Although many enemy troops fled, Li Jue and Guo Si were nowhere to be found. There are many loyal soldiers around the two of them. Before departure, my order was to rob the camp and then retreat westward. If we change the military order midway, we will be in chaos first. I'm afraid we have already prepared, even if we win, we have to pay the price."

The school lieutenant beside him suddenly realized and stopped asking any more questions.

Yinling Feiqi, who had won the battle, retreated towards Chang'an under the leadership of Gan Ning, while sending out scouts to investigate Li Jue and Guo Si's movements.

Li Jue and Guo Si, who fled northward, didn't stop until they came to the edge of the Wei River. After a short rest, the two found that there were only less than [-] soldiers left around them, and they wanted to cry but had no tears.

"What should I do? What should I do?" Guo Bang was pacing back and forth by the river, all his soldiers were listless and discouraged.

After washing his face by the river and drinking a few sips of river water, Li Jue wiped off the water stains on his face, and said with a ruthless expression on his rough face, "Do you think the person who robbed the camp belonged to Ma Teng and Han Sui?"

Guo Si was taken aback, thought carefully, and hesitated: "It is indeed possible, but since they came to rob the camp, why didn't they chase us down? Will there be changes in Chang'an?"

If Chang'an falls, not only will they have no way out, but even their family will fall into the enemy's hands!

Li Jue walked up to Guo Si, stared at him, gritted his teeth and said, "To the east, there is that bastard Qubei. To the north, there is the Wei River blocking us. To the south, is the direction where the enemy army came to attack us last night. Escape from the south. Qinling is blocked by natural moats, and if Wuguan is lost, we will have a dead end to the south. Now we can only return to Chang'an, we don't even have food and grass! Returning to Chang'an is the only way out!"

Half of their situation is caused by the enemy and half by themselves.

Guo Jia wants to force them to come to Chang'an to die, but also to thank them for their crimes in Guanzhong. Li Jue and Guo Si, who are running out of military supplies, can't do anything if they want to plunder the people to replenish their military supplies. The surrounding area has been squeezed by them for several years, and the people have left their homes. Withered, even if they want to rob, they must have someone.

Unintentionally creating a situation where the walls are clear and the country is clear, Li Jue and Guo Si are entirely to blame.

Guo Bang, who has been domineering for several years, is becoming more and more greedy for life and afraid of death. It is human nature and understandable, but a decision must be made at this time. What should he and Li Jue do?
After thinking about it, there is only one way to go back to Chang'an. They have no food and grass, so it is better to fight to the death than to sit and wait.

Rearranging the army, Li Jue and Guo Si led the army back to the camp to check if there were any remaining military supplies, but unexpectedly the camp was in a mess. Those soldiers who survived and escaped after being abandoned by Li Jue and Guo Si swept away all the supplies in the camp , Turned into birds and scattered to make a living.

With overwhelming anger, Li Jue and Guo Si encouraged the soldiers to go back to Chang'an with them and seek revenge from Ma Teng and Han Sui!
When Gan Ning triumphantly entered Chang'an, Guo Jia Ma Teng and Han Sui also arrived in Chang'an at the same time.

Han Suimateng didn't expect Guo Jia to take down Chang'an in a flash.

It was even more unexpected that Gan Ning led the army to severely damage Li Jue and Guo Si's army. According to the scout cavalry report, Li Jue and Guo Si had less than [-] soldiers and horses, and they were heading towards Chang'an.
