The first thousand five hundred and forty-six chapters crossed the Great Wall
Zang Ba retreated south, but after all, most of them were infantry, so it was hard to say how fast it was. Although Zahu was also a mixture of infantry and cavalry, the number of cavalry itself was very large. Therefore, in the early days, with the confidence of Zahu defeating the Han army, more than 10,000 Hu cavalry chased after him. ({[[[[[[[[?]]]
However, Zang Ba was experienced for a long time after all, and after the Broken Emperor's Soul, he had achieved significant improvements in many aspects, forcing him to ambush Zahu's cavalry hundreds of miles north of the Yan Great Wall.
Relying on the talent of the legion that gained the last power of the Emperor* soul after letting go, he ate half of the Hu Pioneer's Hu cavalry, which made the subsequent retreat less difficult.
However, even so, the Han army and the private soldiers of the aristocratic families, which were originally used as bait, had a total of 12,000 troops, but now there are only more than 4,000 troops left, and most of the soldiers even went on the battlefield with injuries. As for the cavalry led by Wei Yan and Guan Ping, there are only a few hundred left.
You should know that Wei Yan and Guan Ping, as well as 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 nearly a hundred miles away from the Yan Great Wall," Wei Yan licked his lips and said, "Junior Jia's so-called reinforcements have not yet arrived, but my intuition tells me that Zahu will catch up in most hours, this time it's a large army."
As he was speaking, Wei Yan squinted his eyes and looked at Zang Ba's direction. It can be said that whether this battle was breaking through in advance or blocking the enemy later, it was mainly Zang Ba's contribution. He and Guan Ping were actually used more to boost morale and break through the enemy formation.
"I'm very relieved." Guan Ping smiled and said, "The Grand Marshal is not worried. What are you worried about? You know, when he was caught up by Wan Wuqi, neither you nor Yuan Zhi would have thought that the Grand Marshal could easily defeat him."
"He said that was a legion talent, do you believe it?" Wei Yan said after a moment of silence.
"If you don't believe it, don't you believe it either?" Guan Ping spread his hands and said, "I don't believe that he is refining Qi and becoming a Gang, do you believe it?"
"I'm not blind!" Wei Yan said angrily, "He is definitely leaving his internal energy."
"So, the general is not in a hurry, why are we in a hurry?" Guan Ping said calmly. In fact, when Zang Ba led his headquarters to rush out, everyone knew that it could not be the so-called legion talent.
Later, Zahu caught up with him. Zang Ba led his headquarters to resist Zahu and instantly beat Zahu. At that time, everyone knew that Zang Ba was abnormal, but Zang Ba was the commander, and he was the earliest group of commanders, so others were not qualified to ask.
"Report that General Zang has an order and form a formation to retreat slowly towards the south." At this moment, a commander rushed over and said to Wei Yan and Guan Ping.
"It seems that the general is planning to fight another match." After Wei Yan and Guan Ping looked at each other, Guan Ping scratched his head and said, but this was really not a good idea.
"It's useless to say more. At least we can't have any results when we continue to move forward. Instead, we are ready to fight on the spot. Under the leadership of the general, there is still hope of turning the tables." Wei Yan took a deep breath and said.
Guan Ping nodded silently. Wei Yan was right. Soon, under Zang Ba's order, the army received the news from various places. Then, led by the middle and lower-level officers of various departments, the army slowly formed a circular formation and marched slowly towards the south.
As soon as he arrived at the Yan Great Wall, Liu Ye, who was tired and a little gloomy, was listening to Yuan Tan's report. Of course, he was no longer Yuan Tan's subordinate, but a minister of the Han Dynasty.
"Have you received any information?" Liu Ye listened to Captain Huwuwan's report with a tired expression. The more he listened, the more gloomy he looked.
As Jia Xu and Chen Xi estimated, shortly after Liu Bei sent troops, Liu Ye suggested that he lead his troops to take the lead and stabilize the situation in the northern part of Youzhou to 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 Yan Great Wall, there was no news from Captain Huwuwan.
[If I were the Shanyu of the Northern Xiongnu, then when it was unrealistic to strengthen my own strength, the only choice for the best choice was Zahu.] Liu Ye looked at the north and thought a little solemnly, but this could not completely cover up his fatigue.
[Although I don’t like Wenhe, Jia Wenhe definitely understands this. So Jia Wenhe’s purpose should be to stop this result. How to stop it?] Liu Ye silently activated his spiritual talent and thought from Jia Xu’s perspective.
[Zichuan must have come back too, but he was one step behind me, so his troops could only be between 6,000 and 7,000, but if he had to go north with all his might, it would be only 4,000.] Liu Ye thought with a headache that every time he thought from Chen Xi's perspective, there were always something he could not understand.
[But with Chen Hou's character and strength, will he attack the rear of the Northern Huns in order to achieve success?] Liu Ye silently analyzed the current situation, [Impossible, the gap between the strength of the two sides is too big, even he cannot do it...]
[It's just that there is a possibility of an attack, so what is he trying to do?] Liu Ye thought with a little headache, [Since it cannot be meaningless, then it's just to create an opportunity. What is the opportunity?]
[No, in this way, Jia Wenhe's intentions are clearer, and Jia Wenhe's purpose can be divided into two.] Liu Ye had already made some estimates in his heart.
[So what about the opposite possibility?] Liu Ye frowned and thought, [There are probably some, but it is difficult to estimate the true thoughts of the two of them. However, even if I rushed over so hard, is it actually under Jia Wenhe's estimate?]
[It's such an annoying feeling!] Liu Ye thought dissatisfied, [But what if I didn't work so hard to rush over?]
Just as Liu Ye was thinking about this, a general rushed over with a letter, bowed to the two of them, and looked at Captain Huwuwan and didn't know whether he should speak.
"This is Liu Ziyang, the Marquis of Dongting. Just say anything." Captain Huwuwan briefly introduced it. Liu Ye also held the teacup and nodded slightly, indicating that he had already greeted him.
The general bowed to the two and said, "Ning County came to report that the two generals under Cao Sikong led 7,000 troops out of the customs after determining the Great Wall defense."
Liu Ye's face darkened, and the hand that he was holding the teacup was also paused. He already knew how Jia Xu was thinking, and he even guessed Chen Xi's possible means, but he only understood this when the facts were already in front of him.
