Zang Ba retreated all the way south, but after all, most of them were infantry, so it was difficult 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.
However, Zang Ba had experienced many battles after all, 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's talent, which was blessed by the final power of the Emperor's Soul after opening his heart, he forced himself 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 spoke, 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 blockade 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 not believe 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 middle and lower-level officers from each department, the army slowly formed a circle. The formation marched slowly towards the south.
Liu Ye, who had just arrived at the Great Wall of Yan, looked tired and 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 Gokarasumaru's report with a tired look on his face, and his expression became more and more gloomy the more 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 Hu Karasuma.
Liu Ye looked at the north and thought a little solemnly, but this could not hide the fatigue on his face at all.
Liu Ye silently activated his spiritual talent and thought from Jia Xu's perspective.
Liu Ye thought with a headache that every time he thought from Chen Xi's perspective, there was always something he couldn't understand.
Liu Ye silently analyzed the current situation.
Liu Ye thought with a slight headache,
Liu Ye already had some assumptions in his mind.
Liu Ye frowned and thought,
Liu Ye thought dissatisfiedly,
Just as Liu Ye was thinking about this aspect, a general rushed over with a letter and saluted the two of them, looking at Captain Gokarasumaru and wondering whether he should speak.
"This is the Marquis of Dongting, Liu Ziyang. If you have anything to say, just say it." Colonel Huwuwan gave a brief introduction, and Liu Ye also nodded slightly while holding the tea cup, indicating that he had been greeted.
The general bowed to the two men and said, "Ning County has reported that two generals under Cao Sikong have left the Great Wall with seven thousand troops after confirming the defense of the Great Wall."
Liu Ye's face darkened, and the hand he 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.
Liu Ye thought with a solemn expression, but there was no need to think about this anymore at this time. (To be continued.) m.
