Lu Bu's strongest strategy

Chapter 227 Fiasco
After a troop of troops is ambushed, the biggest problem is chaos.

The soldiers had lost their morale, they just wanted to escape from this dangerous place, and even because of panic, they would kill each other, this was the biggest problem.

The soldiers of the Qingzhou Army were completely confused in the sea of ​​flames, and they were in a panic. Anyone who dared to block his way of escape would immediately meet with swords and soldiers without mercy.

"kill!"

"Go away!"

……

When Pang Tong saw that the Qingzhou Army was in chaos, he immediately said loudly, "General Zhang, you immediately lead the archers and shoot arrows from the outside of the sea of ​​fire. You must do your best to attack the Qingzhou Army."

When Zhang Xiu heard the order, he reacted from the shock, hurriedly cupped his hands, and said excitedly, "I will obey the order."

After Zhang Xiu left, Pang Tong turned to look at Xu Huang and said slowly, "General Xu, you should immediately reorganize your troops. As long as the fire is a little smaller, lead your troops in immediately. You must defeat the Qingzhou Army in one battle."

Xu Huang hastily cupped his hands, "The last general obeys."

When the fire burned down, the [-] Qingzhou troops killed each other in chaos, trampled, smoked, and burned, and they had already lost nearly [-] people.

In the chaos, the Qingzhou Army ushered in a long-range attack from the archers of the Juye Army.

By the time Yuan Tan led the remaining soldiers and rushed out along a small fire place, Xu Huang had already led a group of soldiers and horses, roaring and rushing over.

"Yuan Tan, today is your day to die. Take your life."

"kill!"

"Ahhh!"

Yuan Tan looked at the soldiers and horses of the Juye Army approaching from a distance, his face turned pale with fright, he almost didn't even think about it, he immediately turned his horse's head and galloped away.

The soldiers of the Qingzhou Army, who were already in chaos, finally broke out of the sea of ​​​​fire and were exhausted. When they saw the enemy rushing towards them, they turned around and ran away without any fighting spirit.

Xu Huang led the soldiers in pursuit until dawn. Most of the Qingzhou army had been dispersed or taken prisoner. Only Yuan Tan escaped with a small number of remaining soldiers.

Xu Huang saw that he could not catch up, so he ordered the troops to withdraw, escorted the prisoners, and returned to the camp.

……

Yuan Tan sat under a tree, looking at the defeated soldiers in front of him, feeling a little sad. When he turned his head and looked at Wang Zhao, who had a dark face, he suddenly felt angry.

"General Wang, how do you direct the battle? Can't you see that the enemy is going to set fire?"

When Wang Zhao heard Yuan Tan's reprimand, he didn't dare to talk back, so he could only keep cupping his hands, "My lord, the general really didn't expect them to set fire."

Yuan Tan snorted coldly, "Trash, it's all your negligence that caused our army to be defeated."

Guo Tu walked over from the side and sighed, "General Wang, you were too careless. You fell into the enemy's plan and lost so many troops. You really shouldn't have!"

When Wang Zhao heard these words, he was furious, but he could only curse in his heart, but he didn't dare to speak out.

This time it was indeed defeated, but is it only his responsibility?

Everyone is watching, don't they see that the enemy is going to set fire?
The good is for everyone, and the bad is for me to blame myself, what is the reason for it!
Although Wang Zhao was so angry that his lungs were about to explode, he could only grit his teeth and endure it.

He couldn't afford to offend any of these people in front of him. If he didn't bear it, he might be condemned immediately.

Xin Ping also came over from a distance, looked at Wang Zhao who was kneeling on the ground, sighed and said, "My lord, the defeat this time is not all due to General Wang. We should think of a way, what should we do next?"

When Wang Zhao heard this, he was so grateful that he almost cried.

Mr. Zhongye is better, at least he won't let himself take the blame.

Yuan Tan slammed his fist on the nearby tree stump and roared, "Now that the loss is so heavy, what can we do?"

Xin Ping turned his head to look at Wang Zhao, frowned and asked, "General Wang, what is the current strength of our army? Is there any strength left to fight?"

Wang Zhao thought of the remaining troops and couldn't help but let out a long sigh and said with a wry smile, "Mr. Zhongye, the losses in this battle are really heavy. So far, we have only gathered more than 8000 remaining troops. If you want to fight back, I'm afraid Impossible."

"what?"

Xin Ping couldn't help but be surprised when he heard about the remaining troops, "Are the losses so heavy?"

This is 4 soldiers and horses. It is unimaginable that more than [-] people were lost at one time!

Wang Zhao sighed, "All the soldiers were dispersed last night. If we set up camp here, we should be able to restrain some remnants, but not many."

Yuan Tan frowned, "Mr. Zhongye, what should we do now?"

Xin Ping smiled wryly and shook his head, "Now our army has suffered heavy losses, and is far inferior to the Juye army in terms of strength. If we continue to fight, the entire army may be wiped out, and we may have to retreat."

"retreat?"

Yuan Tan was stunned, remembering the high-spirited scene when he sent out troops, and his anger rose in his heart, and he roared, "No, we must not retreat."

If he retreats now, his father will definitely know about it, and by then, his status will also plummet, not to mention fighting for that position, I am afraid that he will not be punished, which is already very good.

Wang Zhao cupped his hands, "My lord, our army is not as strong as the opponent right now, and our morale has dropped drastically. If we continue to fight, I'm afraid that your lord will be in danger."

The meaning of his words was already obvious. With this person, if the fight continued, even Yuan Tan would be in danger if the enemy defeated his entire army and was wiped out.

Thinking of his father's scolding, Yuan Tan felt a chill in his heart. He wanted to rectify his troops and horses and continue to fight again, but when he saw the remnants and defeated generals in front of him, he also knew that he was powerless to fight any more, so he could only let out a long sigh.

At this moment, Guo Tu suddenly stepped forward and smiled slightly, "My lord, since our army has already arrived in Yanzhou, why should we retreat?"

Xin Ping was stunned, frowned and said, "Mr. Gongze, now our army has been tricked and has suffered heavy losses. If we don't retreat, once the enemy comes after us, I'm afraid the eldest son will be in danger. Who can afford this at that time?" responsibility?"

Guo Tu shook his head and said with a smile, "Mr. Zhongye, our army is indeed defeated now, but if you say that you have no power to fight back, you will not agree with it."

Having said that, Guo Tu turned around and cupped his hands towards Yuan Tan, and said slowly, "My lord, have you forgotten about going to Yuzhou?"

"Yuzhou?"

Yuan Tan was stunned for a moment, then he realized what he was doing and his eyes lit up, "Mr. Gongze, are you talking about Guo Gong?"

Guo Tu nodded, "My lord, before coming down, I have already agreed with Guo Gong to let him outwit Ju Ye.

Although our army has been defeated now, we only need to capture Juye and unite Guo Gong's troops. "
