The Three Kingdoms began with island farming

Chapter 569 The situation is reversed
"Report! Several groups of Hu cavalry numbering several thousand are chasing us. They are moving very fast and are only a few miles away from our army!"

Hearing what the scout said, Yuan Shu smiled faintly: "Here they come!"

Yuan Shu actually didn't mind if he could just return safely, since he wouldn't lose anything anyway.

Unexpectedly, just as Yuan Shao and Cao Cao had planned, the Northern Huns came to seek death.

Order the rear troops to be on guard and continue to retreat.

Huyan Chi, who led the Hu cavalry under his command, was quite cautious at first, but seeing that Yuan Shu's army was still retreating regardless, he attacked without hesitation after several attempts.

Like cutting meat with a knife, the Yuan Shu army that fell behind was cut off bit by bit.

However, Huyan Chi remained vigilant. Even though Yuan Shu showed no sign of fighting back, he did not advance rashly and continued to bleed Yuan Shu.

Only when his own cavalry had lost more than a thousand men did Yuan Shu say in a deep voice, "Fight back and avenge our brothers!"

Yuan Shu had expected Huyan China's harassment, as it was a common tactic of the Northern Huns.

But even though I knew it, I couldn't break it.

The situation now is different from before. They are alone and deep in the enemy camp. They want to use guerrilla tactics to counter the enemy's guerrilla tactics. Once the enemy's main force encircles them, they will be in trouble.

Hu Yanchi's command ability in guerrilla harassment tactics was even better than Yuan Shu's, but he did not have as "powerful" talent as Yuan Shu.

Huyan Chi, who was pursuing, was actually feeling extremely aggrieved.

His talent "Tricky Attack" allows his cavalry to cause the enemy soldiers to gradually panic, causing chaos, or even fleeing in disarray when harassing them.

In the past, when dealing with other armies, they were always successful.

Relying on their advantages in mobility and flexibility, they can launch guerrilla warfare with impunity, constantly creating panic until the enemy collapses.

However, Yuan Shu's talent and personal charm made these bandits under his command have unbreakable trust in him and follow him wholeheartedly. Even though they were always on the run, they never showed a state of chaos.

This greatly reduced the effectiveness of Huyan China's harassment.

When facing Yuan Shu, Huyan Chi felt that he was completely restrained.

Relying on the home advantage, Huyan Chi'na, who was constantly harassing Yuan Shu, realized that Yuan Shu was planning to fight back, and immediately led his troops to withdraw.

However, the bandits under Yuan Shu's command, who were used to beating the downed dog, suddenly burst out with powerful force at this moment, and they bit hard without stopping.

Just like the previous harassment by Huyan China, they were in turn eating away at Huyan China's cavalry bit by bit.

Even if Huyan Chi fled in different places, they still couldn't escape.

The bandits under Yuan Shu's command made full use of the advantages of being scattered all over the sky, and they became more and more prosperous.

Things have changed, and now it's Hu Yanchi's turn to have a headache.

"How come this Han cavalry is so fast?" Huyan Chi was puzzled.

You should know that his talent also helps with the speed of his cavalry, and his own Chanyu's monarch talent also helps with speed to a certain extent.

Even so, he was still caught up by the other party.

Standing in the four-nation coalition forces behind Yuan Shu's army, Gongsun Zan seemed to sense Huyan Chi's confusion, and a hint of disdain flashed at the corner of his mouth.

You want to compete with me, Gongsun Zan, in speed? I'll let you run 200 meters first.

When time comes, heaven and earth all work together.

Like Lü Bu, after fighting in the Western Regions, or perhaps because of the luck he gained after Tian Ze was crowned king, Gongsun Zan's talent also awakened and showed the effect of monarch talent. The effect is still simple and crude, just a speed bonus.

But the bonus effect is far superior to Xiahou Yuan and others.

With the four countries completely united as one, the effects of Gongsun Zan's monarch talents could naturally be extended to Yuan Shu.

In this kind of guerrilla harassment warfare, speed is everything.

Therefore, facing Huyan China, Yuan Shu had some spare energy to retreat and pursued him even more unscrupulously.

The reason why he was being chased by Huyan Chi just now was because Yuan Shu did not dare to disperse his army easily, fearing that he had been surrounded by the Northern Huns.

There are advantages and disadvantages to both the gathering and dispersion of cavalry.

The combat capability of the assembled cavalry will naturally be greatly enhanced. Even if they are surrounded, they can break through the encirclement by continuously attacking one point, and Yuan Shu's direct troops in the center will not suffer too much damage.

But the disadvantage is that if there are too many soldiers, they will inevitably be tied up with each other, and the speed of action will be greatly reduced. Just like driving a car, it is often not the average speed that determines the speed of the traffic, but the speed of the slowest car.

If the cavalry were to disperse, there would naturally be no need to worry about the problem of being entangled, but the danger of being defeated one by one would inevitably increase greatly.

As he was deep in the enemy camp and had no idea of ​​the surrounding enemy situation, Yuan Shu could only choose the latter after weighing the risks and pros and cons.

In fact, Yuan Shu could also choose to cut off the rear and survive, leaving a group of soldiers to intercept from behind. With his talent and personal charm, he was capable of doing this, and it was the safest choice.

But now, as the "bait", Yuan Shu naturally had to do his job well to prevent the big fish from getting off the hook, so he chose to take the risk and fight back.

Hu Yanchi, who was being chased, no longer considered how to "act" at this time. He really had to escape.

Originally, the Chanyu was worried that Yuan Shu could not catch up, so he asked him to act. Now it seems that this is just overthinking. Is there any need to act?

If you don't run faster, the enemy will be behind you in no time.

Be careful not to let the "bait" be swallowed before the fish hook is in place.

The two "baits" are now "acting" with each other.

However, Huyan Chi didn’t know that Yuan Shu was also a “bait” and was just performing hard on his own.

Yuan Shu knew that Huyan Chi was acting, so he pretended to be confused and cooperated with his performance.

Both sides understood that the other side had fallen into the trap.

Yan Xiang now fully understood the thoughts of Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others, and could not help but sigh: "Too clever is foolish. Sometimes, smart people who are not smart enough are easier to deal with than stupid people."

In the fierce pursuit, Huyan China's troops were gradually divided and destroyed by Yuan Shu's army. Hu cavalry fell one after another, and their blood dyed the grassland red.

Huyan Chi's heart was bleeding at this moment. He never expected that what he thought was just a simple pull would result in heavy casualties among his own people.

Thousands of Hu cavalry were killed, and a small half of them were wiped out. The losses were much greater than Yuan Shu's, and they were completely defeated.

Just when Huyan Chi was almost in despair, the familiar shouting and killing sounds finally rang out from the surroundings.

A large number of Hu cavalry surrounded Yuan Shu's army from all directions.

Yuan Shu's army, which had been scattered due to their busy pursuit, suddenly became panicked and quickly abandoned Huyan China's cavalry and turned around to run away.

However, how could Hu Yanchi, who was furious, let these mortal enemies go? He led his own troops to chase and kill them without hesitation.

The situation reversed again.
