Sun Jian sighed. After all, Zhou Shencai is the chief General of the army, but he is only a military commander. Even if Zhang Wen relies heavily on him to participate in the military, he has no decision-making power.
But
Sun Jian looked at Zhou Shen, his essence was bright and bright: "when our army retreats, the Qiang people must pursue with their tails in their hands. At the end of the day, the general is willing to lead his troops to the end and ask the general to complete the task."
Zhou Shen nodded: "the courage of Wentai is commendable. It's certain that we are certain. Let's go down and prepare for each other."
Zhou Shen immediately ordered the troops to retreat, and 30000 troops packed up and prepared to retreat that day.
Night.
Under the cover of night, the Han Army outside the city slowly walked out of the camp. Zhou Shen, surrounded by hundreds of his relatives, slowly emerged and looked at a thin military array not far away. The first general in the middle is wearing iron armor and red scarf, which is still conspicuous even in the night.
"Withdraw!"
Thirty thousand troops, one by one, retreated slowly until all the troops had withdrawn, and Cheng Pu reported to Sun Jian.
"My Lord, the army has retreated. We should also withdraw."
Sun Jian nodded: "well, order everyone to retreat in formation. The formation should not be loose, so as to avoid the enemy's longitudinal pursuit."
The withdrawal of troops is also a learned thing. Famous generals often withdraw their troops in the rear. Once the enemy longitudinal forces pursue them, they will be attacked head-on.
Later, during the northern expedition of Huanwen, when he withdrew his troops, he was called Jingbing. Murongke heard that Huanwen withdrew his troops and did not pursue them. After a few days, Huanwen relaxed his vigilance and withdrew the elite troops. Murongke led the troops to pursue and won a complete victory.
Sun Jian's more than a thousand sons of Wu Jun followed Sun Jian in his quest for yellow scarves and rolled out of the sea of corpses and blood all the way. They cooperated closely with each other and formed an army array and retreated slowly.
As the army retreated to five miles away from Yuzhong City, Sun Jian's eyebrows slightly loosened: maybe Hu Qi was seriously injured and did not dare to pursue him?
At this time, Sun Jian's line of sight suddenly appeared innumerable torches, heavy trampling sound suddenly sounded, the earth suddenly vibrated.
"Justice."
Han Dang jumped off his horse and lay down on the ground. His ears were close to the ground and listened carefully to the voice coming from the earth. Han's brows frowned, and the sound in his ears became more and more disordered, as if thousands of sound waves turned into drumsticks, pounding his eardrum desperately.
Han Dang jumped up suddenly, and his face was tense: "I'm afraid that Hu Qi is out of the city. The number is more than ten thousand."
"Send for the general!"
"Continue to retreat in formation. The formation must not be loose."
"Be ready for engagement."
At this time, more than a thousand Jiangdong elite soldiers knew that the enemy was approaching, so they all grasped their weapons and continued to retreat slowly.
Sun Jian frowned tightly, staring at the torch in the dark. The Mars in the dark became closer and closer, and the cavalry hiding in the dark gradually revealed the outline.
"Stop!"
"Bow and crossbow hand preparation, knife shield hand array, spear hand frame spear."
With the obscure sound of twisting strings, two hundred archers in the army have already opened their bows to build their arrows, and the sharp arrows are aimed at the torches.
Finally, as the distance approached, groups of hooligans suddenly ran out of the dense forest, with rows of sabers held high, and their faces turned red in the light of torches.
"Let go
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Two hundred arrows shot out, and more than 60 horsemen in front of them fell to the ground with arrows. Some of them were trampled directly by their comrades and were trampled into mud. In the cavalry group charge, once the horse falls, the end will be extremely miserable.
Because it is in the dark, even if some torches are still difficult to judge the distance, so a round of arrows have just been released, thousands of horsemen have been fiercely rushed up, the hands of the fierce saber cut down.
Jiang Dongbing in the front row used the shield wall to block the hurtful horsemen. Even though they were cut by the saber in the upper part of the body, they also held back.
While Hu Qi's saber was waving down, the spears in the Jiangdong army array were stabbing out at the same time, and they pierced the horses and bodies of Hu Qi.
Thousands of Hu Qi attacked the Jiangdong army from all directions, but they were firmly blocked by them. It seemed that an iron box stood still.
After being slashed by the horse, the horse's back became more colorful, and the horse's back was more colorful.
Cheng Pu, Han Dang and zumao were all skillful in bowing and horses. Under Sun Jian's command, they held back Hu Qi's attack. The less the number of troops, the more able to show the importance of personal bravery.
There were dozens of Hu Qi who died under Sun Jian's fourth general. Therefore, everyone in Jiangdong army was excited and stopped Hu Qi's attack with a dense military array.
Fortunately, after Sun Jian's request for orders was terminated, the more than 1000 Jiangdong soldiers under his command were elite. Naturally, they could stop Hu Qi's siege. If other troops were replaced, they would have collapsed on the spot under the siege and interception of Hu Qi.
The defeat brings about a chain reaction. Once the rear army retreats, the defeat will inevitably affect the morale of other armies. The enemy will naturally win a great victory when it comes.Beigong Boyu looked at Jiangdong army from a distance in the array, turned to Li Wenhou and said, "a certain governor is here, and you lead the army to pursue Zhou Shen."
Beigong Boyu also brought out 30000 horsemen from the city. He left 10000 horsemen to attack Sun Jian, and the remaining 20000 were handed over to Li Wenhou.
"Don't worry, general. You must come back with Zhou Shen's head!"
Although Sun Jian was ordered to die, there were no more than a thousand troops under his direct command. They were surrounded by ten thousand horsemen of Beigong Boyu. How to break through the encirclement is a problem, let alone the empress.
Sun Jian tried his best to kill a horseman with a knife. He looked at the current of horseback in all directions and sighed.
"Lord, we are surrounded!" There were shouts and fighting noises all around. Han Dang was afraid that Sun Jian could not hear him, so he roared.
Sun Jian roared: "we have been unable to protect ourselves. If Zhou Shen listened to me, how could we have come to such an end today?"
In spite of the caution of last week, Sun Jian ordered all the troops to fight the enemy bravely and persevered in the siege on all sides.
Li Wenhou, on the other hand, was ordered to go on horseback with 20000 Hu.
The northwest was very open. Although Sun Jian's successful sniping provided a little time for most of the Han Army, all the horsemen chased after him, and soon caught up with them.
Step on it!
Twenty thousand Hu rode on the wild field, and the dust was flying around. The sound of horses' hooves pounding on the earth was filled between heaven and earth. Twenty thousand cavalry gathered together like a huge torrent, rolling forward to devour everything along the way.
Zhou Shenjun was soon exposed to 20000 horsemen.
