When Mrs. Guo learned that He Miao and Zhou Shen were leading their troops out of the city to fight, he was stunned for a moment, then looked up to the sky and laughed.
Although Guo Tai still had the will to continue fighting with the Han army, his subordinates all felt tired, and the successive retreats of friendly forces had shaken the morale of his subordinates. They all believed that the battle could not be fought, and they all asked Guo Tai Jin proposed to withdraw his troops.
Seeing that the war situation could not continue, and the military morale no longer supported him to continue fighting, Mrs. Guo had no choice but to prepare to retreat to Baibo Valley to recuperate.
When the result came, the Han army actually gave him a big gift package.
The Han army emerged from that turtle shell!
He immediately ordered his generals to get ready. Before retreating, he would win the battle, capture all the supplies of the Han army, and go back to rest for a while!
He also said that he didn't want anything from the victory and seizure this time, and would give all of it to everyone. Everyone can get as much as they can, everyone depends on their ability!
So Bai Bo's army followed Guo Tai to attack with high morale.
The results speak for themselves.
The Han army, which had some uncertainties, actually fell at a disadvantage when facing the Baibo army with high morale.
Under the attack of the Baibo Army, the Han army retreated steadily, the military formation could hardly be maintained, and the front army almost collapsed.
The Chinese army where He Jin and Zhou Shen were located was also affected. Guo Tai personally led the army to attack, and the whole army was in panic.
Seeing that the army was about to collapse, He Miao, whose brain was overloaded, could not think of anything. He went blank and could not convey any military orders. However, Zhou Shen still had some sense and tried to mobilize his troops to attack the Baibo Army and stabilize the Han army's position.
However, He Miao was too weak to react. The direction he was responsible for retreated first, and Zhou Shen's side was affected, which was a somewhat uncontrollable trend.
Zhou Shen saw something bad, so he decided to withdraw his troops, at least before the situation was irreversible. He could take away as many people as he could. This humiliating defeat was certainly fatal, but at this moment, saving his life was the most important thing. important.
No matter what the situation will be after the withdrawal, whether he will follow Huangfu Song's footsteps, but if he doesn't run away now, he may not even end up as Huangfu Song.
Seeing Zhou Shen decide to retreat, Yuan Shao, who was extremely anxious, finally broke out.
Going to the battlefield for the first time and facing this humiliating new defeat?
And then run away in embarrassment?
A descendant of my fourth generation, the third prince, the Yuan family, was actually going to be defeated by a group of thieves and then flee for his life in a panic?
Liu Bei won victory the first time he went on the battlefield, and then fought and won consecutive battles, fighting desperately, all the way to where he is today, and has become a fierce general in the world, and everyone respects him.
And I, Yuan Benchu, am about to face a humiliating defeat?
Am I, Yuan Shao, really inferior to Liu Bei?
I come from a family of four generations and three nobles, am I really not as good as Liu Bei, who weaves mats and sells shoes?
Yuan Shao was stimulated by strong unwillingness and anger, and Yuan Shao thought of all the humiliations he would face if he retreated.
Yuan Wei's contempt, Yuan Shu's ridicule, and the cynicism of those guys at home who look down on others.
He just couldn't stand it anymore.
So he asked Zhou Shen for advice.
"Under the current situation, our army still has the strength to fight. Why not make a last-ditch effort and retreat instead? Once we retreat, everything will be lost. The thieves will drink from the big river. As long as they cross a big river, they can threaten Luoyang and shake the world. Emperor, even if we chop off our heads, we can’t make up for this kind of guilt!”
Zhou Shen looked at Yuan Shao like a fool.
"Benchu, now is not the time to make a last-ditch effort to save the situation! If we don't retreat now, then when will we wait? Once the army collapses, no one cares whether you are a general or not. You will just run for your own life! Where can you take care of yourself? Later?"
"A man is born in heaven and earth. When faced with adversity, he does not stand up with a sword, but instead flees in embarrassment. Such a thing makes me feel ashamed!"
Yuan Shao cupped his fists and made a military salute: "I can't bear this humiliation! I ask for a fight! I would rather die fighting! I will never live an ignoble existence!"
Zhou Shen was very surprised.
Why are the children of noble families so popular one after another these days?
Have they all been infected by Liu Bei?
Zhou Shen didn't dare to allow Yuan Shao to do this. Zhang Wen was lucky and met Liu Bei who was really good at fighting. If Yuan Shao died here, he would have no way to explain to Yuan Wei.
But before he could say anything, Yuan Shao turned around and left. He actually called on the more than a thousand Yuan family soldiers who came with him to launch a counterattack against the Baibo Army!
Hey guys, come on!
Zhou Shen watched dumbfounded as Yuan Shao led Yuan's family soldiers to leave the formation and launched a counterattack against the Baibo Army. He was so shocked that he even forgot to stop him. By the time he reacted, Yuan Shao's own soldiers had already begun to attack.
Zhou Shen was horrified and quickly dispatched his troops to follow Yuan Shao's footsteps, saying that he would bring Yuan Shao back alive.
His lieutenant expressed embarrassment about this, and Zhou Shen slapped him directly.
"Yuan Shao is a descendant of the Yuan family in Runan! If he dies in my army, my life will be over! My family will be over too! If I am over, you will be over too! I want your whole family to be buried for me!!!"
Such a fierce threat frightened the deputy general Ma Yue out of his mind. He quickly mobilized his troops and pursued Yuan Shao desperately, hoping to bring Yuan Shao back no matter what.
So while the Baibo army was advancing and the Han army was retreating, two Han armies went upstream and rushed towards the Baibo army who was charging and fighting.
Although the equipment of Yuan Shao's soldiers was worse than that of Yuan Shu's, they were still much better than the general Han army, and much better than the Baibo army.
Relying on the advantages of equipment and momentum, Yuan Shao's soldiers actually contained the frontal charge of the Baibo Army at the beginning.
Ma Yue, who was following behind, was too afraid of being held accountable, so he fought desperately and rushed forward desperately, desperately trying to catch up with Yuan Shao and trying to bring Yuan Shao back.
But he didn't expect that the more he moved forward, the further Yuan Shao moved forward. The more Yuan Shao moved forward, the further he would move forward. They fought bloody battles all the way forward, and unknowingly, they actually penetrated a white wave on the local battlefield. military.
Zhou Shen, who was gathering men and horses to retreat, saw this situation and was stunned.
Did he really fight?
Did you really defeat the Baibo Army?
he……
What did you eat growing up?
Zhou Shen was stunned for a moment, and then was enveloped in a wave of ecstasy.
He had seen his bleak future before and wanted to at least save Yuan Shao's life, so that he could give Yuan a face and ask Yuan to help him, so that he would not be accused, but now it seems that promotion is uncertain. ah!
"Charge! Charge up! Charge up! Defeat the bandit army!!!"
Zhou Shen gave the order with red eyes, like a drowning traveler grasping at straws, making the only correct decision at this moment.
So the outcome of this battle was an unexpected draw.
Guo Taibu's general Han Xian was defeated by Yuan Shao and Ma Yue's brave attack and was forced to retreat. He Miao and Yuan Shu also retreated. Both sides gained and lost.
As a last resort, Mrs. Guo announced the withdrawal of troops and did not continue to fight with the Han army.
He found that he might have underestimated the Han army. There might be many capable warriors in the Han army, which would not be easy to deal with.
He wanted to go back and seriously think about continuing to cooperate with Zhang Yan, Yu Fuluo and others.
As for the Han army, it was originally a failure, but the outcome was unexpectedly no failure.
Zhou Shen actually led his troops against the wind and fought a turnaround. Although the Han army did not achieve a complete victory, it did not fail either, and the situation was stabilized.
The Baibo Army chose to retreat after the war and returned to the Baibo Valley to recuperate. The Han Army did not pursue them and returned to Wenxi County to rest and report the battle report to the Luoyang court.
