Zang Ba retreated all the way south, but after all, most of them were infantry, so it is hard to say how fast they were. Although Zahu was also a mixture of infantry and cavalry, the number of cavalry was very large. Therefore, in the early stage, Zahu was confident that he had defeated the Han army. More than ten thousand Hu cavalry pursued them first. ({¡²¡²¡²{?net{
But after all, Zang Ba had experienced many battles, and after shattering the emperor's soul, he had greatly improved in many aspects, and he forcibly ambushed Zahu's cavalry hundreds of miles north of the Great Wall of Yan.
Relying on the legion talent that gained the final strength of the Emperor's Soul after opening up, it was able to eat half of the miscellaneous vanguard's cavalry, making the subsequent retreat less difficult.
However, despite this, the total strength of the Han army and private soldiers of the family, originally used as bait, was 12,000, but now there are only just over 4,000 left, and most of the soldiers are wounded and went into battle. As for the cavalry led by Wei Yan and Guan Ping There are only a few hundred left.
You must know that Wei Yan, Guan Ping, and the soldiers led by Zang Ba were all veterans of more than ten battles, but almost everyone was injured in this battle alone.
"The situation is not good. We are only close to a hundred miles away from the Great Wall of Yan," Wei Yan licked his lips and said, "The so-called reinforcements from Commander Jia have not yet arrived, but my intuition tells me that Zahu will be there in a few hours at most. We will catch up, this time with a large force.¡±
As he said this, Wei Yan squinted his eyes and looked in the direction of Zang Ba. It can be said that this battle, whether it was an early breakthrough or the subsequent blocking of the enemy, was mainly due to Zang Ba. He and Guan Ping were actually used more to boost morale. , breaking through the enemy formation.
"I'm quite relieved." Guan Ping smiled and said, "The commander is not worried. What are you worried about? You must know that when Wan Yu Hu Qi caught up with him, neither you, me nor Yuan Zhi thought that the commander-in-chief would Shuai can defeat it easily."
"He said it was a legion talent, do you believe it?" Wei Yan said after being silent for a while.
"If you don't believe it, don't you also disbelieve it?" Guan Ping spread his hands and said, "I still don't believe that he refined Qi into a gang, do you believe it?"
"I'm not blind!" Wei Yan said angrily, "He definitely has inner energy leaving his body."
"So, the commander-in-chief is not in a hurry. Why are we in a hurry?" Guan Ping said calmly. In fact, when Zang Ba led his headquarters to break through Zahu and rush out, everyone knew that it could not be the so-called legion. talent.
Later, Zahu caught up with him. Zang Ba led his troops to resist Zahu, and in an instant, he knocked the people whom Zahu had beaten off their backs. At that time, everyone actually knew that Zang Ba was abnormal, but Zang Ba was the commander-in-chief, and he was the earliest one. Criticizing the commander-in-chief, others have no right to ask.
"Report, General Zang has an order to form a formation and retreat slowly towards the south." At this moment, a messenger rushed over and said to Wei Yan and Guan Ping.
"It seems that the commander is planning to fight again." After Wei Yan and Guan Ping looked at each other, Guan Ping scratched his head and said, but this is really not a good idea.
"It's useless to talk more. At least there is no result if we continue to move forward. Instead, we are ready to fight on the spot. Under the leadership of the commander, there is still hope of a comeback." Wei Yan took a deep breath and said.
Guan Ping nodded silently. Wei Yan was right. Soon, under Zang Ba's order, all parts of the army received the news. Then, under the leadership of the middle and lower-level officers of each department, the army slowly formed a circle. The formation marched slowly towards the south.
Having just arrived at the Great Wall of Yan, Liu Ye, who looked tired and a little gloomy, was listening to the report of Yuan Tan's ministers. Of course, he was no longer Yuan Tan's subordinates, but ministers of the Han Dynasty.
"Didn't you receive any information?" Liu Ye listened to Colonel Gokarasuma's report with a tired look on his face, and his expression became more and more gloomy as he listened.
Just as Jia Xu and Chen Xi had estimated, shortly after Liu Bei sent troops, Liu Ye suggested that he lead his troops to stabilize the situation in the north of Youzhou and prevent the Northern Huns from crossing the Great Wall again. Naturally, Liu Bei agreed to this. suggestion.
However, after Liu Ye led the cavalry all the way to the Great Wall of Yan, he received no news from Captain Huwuwan.
¡¾If I were the Shanyu of the Northern Xiongnu, then strengthening my own strength is no longer realistic at present, and the best choice is Zahu. ] Liu Ye looked at the north and thought a little solemnly, but this could not hide the fatigue on his face at all.
"Although he doesn't like Wenhe, Jia Wenhe definitely understands this. So Jia Wenhe's purpose should be to prevent this result. How to prevent it? ¡¿Liu Ye silently activated his spiritual talent and thought from Jia Xu's perspective.
¡¾Zichuan must have come back too, but he is one step later than me, so his strength may only be between 6,000 and 7,000, but if he goes north with all his strength, it will only be 4,000. ¡¿Liu Ye thought with some headache that every time he thought from Chen Xi's perspective, there was always something about himA place that cannot be understood.
"But with Chen Hou's character and strength, can he attack the rear of the Northern Huns in order to achieve success?" ¡¿Liu Ye silently analyzed the current situation, "It's impossible, the strength gap between the two sides is too big, even he can't do it"
¡¾It¡¯s just that there is a possibility of attack, so what does he want to do? ¡¿Liu Ye thought with a slight headache, "Since it can't be meaningless, then it's just to create an opportunity. What exactly is the opportunity?" ¡¿
"No, with such a string of words, Jia Wenhe's intention becomes clearer, and Jia Wenhe's purpose can be divided into two. ¡¿Liu Ye already had some assumptions in his mind.
¡¾What about the possibility of the reverse? ¡¿Liu Ye frowned and thought, "Probably, but it's hard to estimate what the two of them really think. But even if I rush over so hard, am I actually already included in Jia Wenhe's estimation?" ¡¿
¡¾What a disgusting feeling! ] Liu Ye thought dissatisfiedly, [But what if I didn't rush over so hard? ¡¿
While Liu Ye was thinking about this aspect, a general rushed over with a letter and saluted the two of them. He looked at Colonel Gokarasumaru and wondered whether he should speak.
"This is Liu Ziyang, the Marquis of Dongting. If you have anything to say, just tell me." Colonel Huwuwan gave a brief introduction. Liu Ye also held the tea cup and nodded slightly to show that he had been greeted.
The general bowed to the two men and said, "Ning County has come to report that after confirming the defense of the Great Wall, two generals under Cao Sikong have left the border with 7,000 troops."
Liu Ye's face darkened, and his hand that was holding the tea cup paused. He already knew how Jia Xu was thinking, and he even guessed Chen Xi's possible methods, but this was only when the facts were placed in front of him. Understand this.
¡¾Cao Mengde, I didn¡¯t expect that he was so brave! No wonder, no wonder Jia Wenhe is so confident. Even if there isn't me, will there be someone else? ¡¿Liu Ye thought with a solemn expression, but there is no need to think about this anymore at this time. (To be continued.) 8
