C65

On the morning of the second day, Sun Guan hurriedly finished his breakfast and quickly counted the number of people. The result was much better than he had imagined.

Seeing that they did not lose much troops in the second world war, a few of the General of the Yellow Scarf Army s could not help but be happy as well. Immediately after breakfast, they gathered at Sun Guan's Big Account and discussed their next course of action. Their eyes were filled with anxiety. In order to stabilize his morale, Sun Guan forced himself to stay calm and encouraged the Generals.

"Don't worry, there are only a few thousand people in cavalry of Youzhou. They can only fight in the field and not attack the wall. Last night was not a small heart of theirs, do they dare to face us face to face in a decisive battle? "

But no matter how much strength Sun Guan had, the Generals still had a lingering fear. and Wu Dun had personally witnessed the impressiveness of the cavalry of Youzhou. Chang Xi frowned, then cupped his fists and spoke out his thoughts.

"General Sun, although the cavalry of Youzhou s cannot break out, we do not dare to leave the camp. Then, aren't we trapped here? Now that the impending disaster can't attack us anymore, I think we should return to Mt. Tai. We've pretty much recovered enough from this trip. If we don't leave now, I'm afraid we won't be able to leave even if we want to. "

Chang Xi's suggestion was exactly what the other generals were thinking, and everyone nodded in agreement. Gongjing of Qingzhou Thorn had transferred all of the brave men from the villages of the entire province over to the impending disaster, allowing them to attack for over a month before they succeeded. Now that they had come to the cavalry of Youzhou and lost the impending disaster, there was no point in staying any longer.

Actually, Sun Guan had also thought of withdrawing his troops. As long as they weren't idiots, they would understand that there was a powerful cavalry unit moving around, not to mention attacking the Affected City, even protecting themselves would be a problem. But he really could not take this lying down, he had to take revenge even if he had to retreat.

"Since the generals have agreed to withdraw from Mt. Tai, then let us withdraw. However, we have to think carefully about how to retreat. Those cavalry of Youzhou will definitely not let us retreat peacefully, they will definitely seize the opportunity to attack us. "

These words made everyone hesitate. They couldn't really fight, nor could they retreat. Some said to break out during the night, some said to retreat during the day, while the others suggested to attack the cavalry and break out during the chaos. Seeing that everyone had no idea, Sun Guan waved his hand to make them stop.

"Everyone, don't worry. Actually, we still have a way to deal with the cavalry." Today, everyone gathered all the archer and the long gunners and trained them strictly. They would use the long gunners to protect the archer and let the archer kill the cavalrymen. I would like to see just how many rounds of attacks his several thousand cavalrymen can endure. "

"I have decided to prepare quietly tonight. I will retreat to Mt. Tai at 5 a.m. tomorrow morning. If the cavalry of Youzhou dares to chase after us, we will use our Long Spear Array to protect them and lure them to the mountain. With the terrain of the hills, we cannot use the cavalry, and they will lose their advantage.

Although Sun Guan was unwilling, but no one had the heart to fight anymore. They had already snatched away a lot of wealth, so what was the point of taking over an empty city? Sun Guan could only agree to return to Mt. Tai. When the Wu Dun, Yin Li, Chang Xi and the other generals heard this, they also thought that it was a solution, and immediately cupped their fists, replying loudly.

"Understood."

In order to conceal their strength, not all of the cavalry of Youzhou s had entered. Only Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Pan Feng and the other four thousand-man unit s had entered the city. In the eyes of ordinary people, cavalry of Youzhou only had around seven thousand to eight hundred people, and even Sun Guan had been deceived.

According to Gong Jing's arrangements, Yang Lin and the others were stationed in a relatively remote villa. Although the location was remote, it was the manor of a wealthy landowner. Just like Yang Lin's Yang Family Villa, there were more than twenty thousand cavalry stationed there, which could not be seen from the outside.

The owner of this courtyard was called Gong Xing and was actually Gong Jing's blood brother. These Scholars and Wealthy Classes had combined all kinds of lands together, making the land in the Eastern Han Dynasty extremely concentrated. The vast majority of the land was controlled by the Scholars and Wealthy Classes, with farmlands and villas spread all over the country, while the Scholars and Wealthy Classes controlled almost all of the country's political and economic life.

Although Yang Lin did not like these Scholars and Wealthy Classes, but if he wanted to gain a foothold in this period, he needed to build a good relationship with them and gain their acknowledgement. Only then would he be able to realize his ambitions. Otherwise, his path would be extremely difficult.

had not expected that on the night he entered Gong Xing's Villa, an unexpected guest would come knocking. It turned out to be the butler of the North Sea States merchant Qian Lin that they rescued from the fresh inferior Tribe. He was captured by the fresh inferior along with Qian Lin at that time. When Yang Lin and the others saved Qian Lin, he remembered Yang Lin.

"Lord Commander, please save Master Qian. When Master Qian was captured in the desert, a few servants who had escaped told the news to her half-brother Qian Feng. When Qian Feng saw that Master Qian was no longer around, she mischievously conspired with North Sea phase to sell Master Qian's farmlands to his own brother, Zhang Jin, and chased out Lady Qian and the four young masters. After Master Qian returned home, he brought along four young masters and servants to ask for the manor. Unexpectedly, Zhang Jin made a move, causing Master Qian to accidentally kill Zhang Jin, and got captured by North Sea phase, and was sentenced to death. "

"This lowly one is preparing to go to the Luoyang to avenge my wrongdoings. When I heard that the Lord Commander's team had arrived, I decided to ask the Lord Commander for help. If you can save Master Qian's family, you will definitely be the one to lead the horses and hold the whips of the horses.

Yang Lin did not care about having another horse as his whip, he was just a lackey. He only felt that Qian Lin, who had been captured by the fresh inferior, was already very unlucky, but he never thought that he would be ambushed by his brothers again at home. He could not help but feel pity, and looked at Gong Jing at the side.

"Lord Commander, don't look at me. I also know about Qian Lin's case, he really did beat North Sea phase's little brother to death, there's no way to forgive him. Furthermore, you should know that Ci Shi is only a Ombudsman and doesn't have the authority to control a North Sea phase. "

Of course, Yang Lin knew that the history of assassinations in this period didn't have much power, they were just a local Ombudsman. It was only after the Yellow Knife Rebellion that the imperial court, in order to pacify the Yellow Knife Rebellion, granted Ci Shi a certain amount of rights. Only then did Ci Shi's rights gradually grow larger.

Although the Qingzhou Acanthopanax could not control the North Sea phase, Yang Lin did not want to let this go. No matter what, he felt sympathy for Qian Lin. The North Sea phase had colluded with Qian Feng to plot against Qian Lin's family property first, so it was understandable for Qian Lin to have killed him, so this debt could not be ignored.

"Go rest first, we'll think of a way."

After thinking about it, Yang Lin felt that it was impossible to do it openly. No matter what, Qian Lin had killed someone, the North Sea phase held a huge responsibility, and from the looks of it, he could only come from the shadows. At night, Yang Lin found Xia Xia, Zhu Kan, Liang Tian, and Dong Jian.

"Xia, Zhu Kan, from today onwards, your thousand-man unit will become a exorcism. Can you do it well?"

"Thank you milord, we promise we will do well."

Xia Xia, Zhu Kan heard, his face revealed a smile, and immediately replied. The exorcism was more carefree than a fighting team, and also much more arrogant. Although it was a bit hard, being able to move freely, for who was used to being a bandit in the summer, this was more to their liking.

"Go ahead, your job is to constantly harass the xanthopanax, so that they won't have a peaceful time."

"Understood."

After Xia Chen and Zhu Kan left, Yang Lin smiled at them. The two of them had changed their expressions long ago. They thought that their exorcism did not do well, or had done something wrong that made Yang Lin dissatisfied with them, which was why they changed their people.

"I have an important mission for you guys. I'll bring your thousand-man unit s and change into them, then rush to North Sea States and rescue Master Qian Lin and his four young masters. Be careful, if you are captured by the local officials, no one will be Youzhou Army, understand?

"Understood."

Liang Tian and Dong Jian finally understood that the Lord Commander had even more important things that they needed to do, and this was what they were most proficient at doing. The two of them could not help but laugh. Ever since they joined Yang Lin's party, they had held back so much that they could finally go out and take a breather.

Just as Sun Guan and the other generals were discussing on their retreat back to Mt. These riders were not ordinary riders, they were all bandits from the Ejialing, and were currently Yang Lin's riders. In the summer, they patrolled around the yellow cloth army camp's North Gate while Zhu Kan patrolled around the southern gate of the camp. There were still a few cavalrymen guarding the western gate.

In order to ensure the safety of the camp, any army would send out a large number of exorcism s and Outpost s around the camp. Some would even send them out for five kilometers. Sun Guan, who had always been cautious, was no exception. He had long ago set up a large number of exorcism outside the camp and sent patrolling soldiers.

However, the exorcism s and Outpost s today could be considered to be out of luck, the cavalry of Youzhou s had specially come to kill them. and Xia Chen had been holding back and wanted to show off. The moment the sun rose, the battle between the two exorcism s officially started.

The two brothers Xia and Zhu Kan displayed their prowess, the corner of the bow arm that they captured from the fresh inferior was extremely heavy, and its range was extremely far. In addition to the excellent summer shooting techniques, how could those xanthopanax be a match for them?

There were two teams of exorcism that were not to be outdone, and they started the competition to kill exorcism right outside of yellow cloth army camp. They were all bandits of Ejialing and had not acted rashly for a long time, so killing exorcism now could be considered to be their addiction.

The leader of the xanthopanax team was a lean man who was extremely skilled in shooting. Since the xanthopanax's war horses did not have any harness s, such as horses, horses, etc., there were not many exorcism who could shoot arrows on their horses, and this lean man could not only shoot, but also shoot very well.

The two sides dueled for a while, and the leader of the exorcism also shot down a few riders. Summer chased him and shot a few arrows, but did not expect him to be not only good at shooting, but also good at riding, several times he dodged.

"Zhu Kan, the next time we are chasing him, take half of your men and scatter, gather on the other side, and we will attack him from both sides."

"Alright."

The two brothers bellowed, and pounced towards the leader of the exorcism once again. The leader of the exorcism was also bold and powerful, he actually urged his horse to lead his troops to welcome them, both sides shot out once again, although both sides suffered injuries and deaths, but the cavalry of Youzhou was split into two.

The proud xanthopanax leader turned his horse and led the team to charge towards Zhu Kan and the rest. Zhu Kan, who was busy escaping, rode on his horse and gradually lagged behind. Suddenly, he turned his head and raised his hand to shoot an arrow. The leader of the exorcism did not expect Zhu Kan to be able to turn around and shoot, but he was unable to dodge in time, causing the Arrows to fall down, right in front of him.

Very quickly, xanthopanax and Outpost returned to the camp. During the day, there were four groups of cavalrymen circling around Yellow Scarf Camp, each with more than 500 people. They were like four groups of hyenas, guarding a group of big bears. As long as anyone from xanthopanax dared to leave the camp, they would rush over and shoot. When the yellow cloth came over, they would run away.

Sun Guan was so angry that his eyes were burning with fire, if exorcism could not send them out, and was surrounded by the officials, then his entire camp would have become a dead camp. He angrily ordered 10,000 Lance Soldier s to rush out of the camp to find the riders and fight. However, those cavalrymen who had rushed forward to shoot a few arrows immediately ran away, just like hyenas fighting a bear. They pounced on them and took a bite, not even bothering to fight head on with them.

The helpless Sun Guan suddenly remembered that he himself had more than five thousand horses. That was the mount of the xanthopanax generals and their janissaries s. Sun Guan could not care so much, he gathered all his personal guards and brought along Wu Dun as he brought over five thousand yellow scarfed personal guards to fight with cavalry of Youzhou.

"General, since we are ready to retreat, do we still need to fight with them?"

Although Wu Dun followed them out, he was still unwilling. These personal guards were their personal bodyguards.

"If I don't kill them, I won't be able to dispel the hatred in my heart. Charge up and bite them. I don't believe that they can still fly into the sky. "

These personal guards were the most capable combat elites among the xanthopanax, but the cavalry of Youzhou did not fight face to face with them, but scattered in all directions. If you chase after this team, the other three teams will just harass them on the side, and they will just rush up like Arrows. When you chase after that team, the other teams will come shooting again.

cavalry of Youzhou rode on horseback and saddled her horses with ease, while Qingzhou Yellow Scarf rode on horseback with her legs close to the horse belly and was not as skilled as the barbarians. With one hand on the horse and the other on the blade, she could barely ride and charge, but if she were to shoot arrows with both hands, it would not take a day or two, and it would be good if she did not fall down now.

Many of them were the servants and horses of Scholars and Wealthy Classes, and some were even used for transportation. How could they catch up with the large and fresh horses of the Quiet Cavalry? They could only chase from afar, completely unable to catch up.

How was this a war, this was simply a child's game. Although Sun Guan was furious, he did not dare to split up his troops to chase them. Just like that, they kept chasing each other. After shooting a few arrows, everyone turned around and ran. After struggling for two hours, a third of the xanthopanax s had already fallen off their horses.

Sun Guan slowed down his horse and raised the pike in his hands. All the personal guards slowly stopped. At this time, Sun Guan truly felt helpless. Those cavalry of Youzhou were not skilled in riding, and those cavalry of Youzhou s were much more skilled in riding than them. The harness were also not as advanced as the cavalry of Youzhou, they had not even seen a horse riding or saddle before.

Does the heavens want me to die? Sun Guan, who had always been fearless, felt a trace of sorrow from the bottom of his heart. In the xanthopanax, not only was he the unwavering marshal, he was also a strong general. But facing the cavalry of Youzhou, he felt that he was unable to bring out the strength in his heart, and his heart was aggrieved and aggrieved.

He raised his head to look at the sky and saw a few faint clouds floating in the sky. He could not see where his hope lay, nor could he see where his path of escape lay.

Looking around them, the groups of cavalry of Youzhou s were wandering around them like hyenas. They couldn't chase them away, and if they couldn't hit them, they would pounce on them and bite them if they were careless. Although it wouldn't cause them any harm, it would make them bleed incessantly, making them suffer slowly in pain.

At this moment, a cloud of dust suddenly rose from afar and a large group of cavalrymen rushed over. Originally, the exorcism had reported that Sun Guan was going to lead the troops out. Zhang Fei who had been waiting for an opportunity immediately lit up a thousand cavalrymen and rushed over.

"Hurry back to camp."

Sun Guan shouted, and rushed back to the camp. These damned cavalry of Youzhou, actually tricked him to stay so far away from the camp. No wonder they kept running back, they actually wanted to ambush him.

wanted to escape into the main camp, but Zhang Fei wanted to block them outside the camp. The other small squads who were running in all directions a moment ago also rushed forward, revealing their vicious natures and brandishing their pikes, they rushed into the yellow scarf formation.

This period of panic gave Zhang Fei time to react. Even though the group had not arrived yet, there were more than a hundred people who stopped Sun Guan.

"Kill your way back to the base."

At this time, Sun Guan had calmed down, he knew that this was not the time to fight for his life, and shouted loudly as he rushed into the camp. The janissaries next to him swarmed forward, charging into the camp with their lives on the line.

Zhang Fei roared, his eight pikes dancing in the crowd, all of his personal guards were swept down, and were just about to catch up to Sun Guan.

During the time of Guan Jian, Yin Li led the spearmen to rush out, and finally brought Sun Guan and Wu Dun back to the main camp. When they returned to the camp to count, there were only a little more than 1000 yellow scarfed janissaries left. The rest of the 4000 janissaries and horses were given to the cavalry of Youzhou.
