Chapter 5: Going to Battle and Covering Your Face(2/2)
This was a helpless move after knowing that he was unable to stop the opponent's cavalry... In this way, he might be able to cope with the retreat of Yuan Shao and the main force.
However, it was only possible, because after Xu Rong and Han Dang successfully merged, a total of 20,000 cavalry began to move from east to west, from the side of Jushu and from the rear of Yuan Jun, trying a real large-scale outflank!
"Zibo's ability to seize the opportunity before the battle has reached the extreme." Under the afternoon sun, long before dusk, Gongsun Xun heard the report from the frontline Lingyu guards about the merger of Han Dang and Xu Rong, but he was the first to
He praised Lou Gui in public, and then got up again and mounted his horse. "When I heard him say that we can send troops today, I knew that the overall situation was decided... Let's go! Wave the flag! The whole army beats the drum! Send an order to Cheng Demou and Shen Zhengnan to march from the west
From the east, from south to north, the whole army is pressing forward...Today's battle must be a great success!"
Everyone did not dare to neglect, everyone from Lou Gui to Guan Yu mounted their horses, and then together with Gongsun Xun personally urged the entire army to move forward. A hundred thousand people swarmed forward, and what was originally just a rolling iron flow of cavalry instantly turned into an overwhelming raging sea.
waves.
But at this moment, facing such a scene, Yuan Shao, who was already confused and numb, with cold hands and feet, suddenly heard the sound of gongs ringing in his ears.
Ming Gong, also known as Ming Jin, is the signal for withdrawal.
Yuan Shao looked at Chen Gong who issued the order with a somewhat distracted look, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
"Lord, please retreat." Unexpectedly, Chen Gongtai looked clear at this time and had clear command and control. He first gave a slight signal to Yuan Shao, then pointed at the general Lu Xiang who was called over by him. "Lv Xiaowei, former army officer
Leave it to me. You will be in charge of the Chinese army. You must escort the lord and the gentlemen at the rear of the Chinese army to retreat to Liangqi... Although this battle has been lost, the city of Liangqi is only more than ten miles away. The opponent's damage is limited, and the Chinese army has all the armored battles.
, it is not difficult to retreat into the city, please work hard!"
At this critical moment, Lu Xiang did not hesitate. He ignored Yuan Shao, who had lost his composure, and directly ordered the Chinese Tiger Guard to escort Yuan Shao's four-horse drum chariot to turn around and go south.
However, a moment later, this powerful general from Yanzhou, who was from the neighboring county of Chen Gong, turned around and dismounted from Chen Gong's carriage, kowtowing with tears in his eyes: "Chang Shi, as the matter comes to this, why don't we go together?! If that's not possible,
I'm here to command the front army, I just hope that Chang Shi can take care of my family..."
"This responsibility cannot be shouldered by one person." Chen Gong stood in the car, extremely calm. "As long as I die, no one will be blamed for this war, and you can continue to help the lord reorganize the overall situation with peace of mind... And besides,
Now, as the shogunate, I am in charge of the overall situation, and my lord also obeys his orders, but he has ruined the situation to this point. Personally speaking, how can I have the shame to go back? In short, my lord’s safety is with you, so leave quickly! Just remember
Regarding accommodation, if they meet Xu Ziyuan on the road, Duke Ju can give up the right to send troops to them. If they meet Guo Gongze, Xun Youruo and other Yingchuan people, or even Xin Zhongzhi, who came to Liang Qi City to help, will never give it.
They have military power."
Lu Xiang couldn't stop crying, but finally turned around and rode away.
On the other side, Chen Gong watched Lu Xiang escort Yuan Shao's chariot heading south, so he turned back and prepared to organize the front army to stop it. However, when he looked back, he realized that in just a short moment, as Yuan Shao retreated, the opponent's army pressed forward.
, the former army actually lost control and collapsed, fleeing one after another, as if they no longer had any command.
At this situation, Chen Gongtai looked up to the sky and sighed, but he simply stepped forward and pushed the driver away, letting him escape for his life. Then he untied his crown, took off his bun, covered his face with his messy hair, and drove upstream himself.
In an instant, he was beheaded by Zhao Yun's tribe at the age of thirty-six.
—I am the only dividing line that can only be settled by death—
"After Taizu arrived at Handan, he issued a letter of war... The palace said to Shao Shao in the city of Liang Dynasty: 'Now General Wei has arrived and gathered a hundred thousand people, calling him invincible. However, my lord's army is well-fed, so he may not be inferior. I heard about the battle.
There are four points to win, but now the victory is evenly divided. Even if you lose, you can retreat and stick to it. Why can't you fight? And my husband, the general of the guard is always victorious and harsh, but once defeated, his heart is broken; the lord is merciful after repeated defeats.
, One victory and the world will return to its heart. But if we hold a hundred thousand people and do nothing, the world will be disappointed, and the Lord will lose his roots. How can he do evil!' Shao Shanzhi went out to fight in the field... Seeing Shao's defeat in the harem, he went to the formation
Zhong sighed and said with hatred: "Today's battle is all about me. I heard that the gentleman is in danger, and I will share the same trouble and bear the responsibility. How can I return south to live in vain!" So he took off his hat, covered his face with his hair, and drove north to go to Taizu.
When he died in the army, Taizu respected his wishes and buried him with all his clothes." "Jiu Yan Shu". No. 1 in the family.
