System Blessing: The Young Master of the Dong Family and Diao Chan's Fate

The morale of Yuan's soldiers, who were originally evenly matched, dropped sharply.

"escape!"

Collapse!

Soldiers are the courage of the general, and the general is the power of the soldiers!

Without Zhang He and Gao Lan, these soldiers immediately became panicked and fled in all directions.

Seeing that few of Yuan’s soldiers surrendered, they all fled in panic.

The soldiers of Dong's army showed no mercy and began a frantic pursuit while the enemy's morale was low.

"kill!"

Huang Zhong brandished his long sword, killing the fleeing Yuan army soldiers one after another.

At this moment, a large number of Yuan troops suddenly came from the north, flying the banners of Wen, Han, Jiang and others.

“Shoot!!”

Wen Chou, Han Meng, Jiang Qi and other generals of Yuan's army ordered their arrows to be shot without hesitation, without caring at all about their own soldiers in the chaos.

shhhhh--

Thousands of arrows were fired at once, tens of thousands of black dots gradually enlarged, and the arrows fell on the battlefield like locusts.

For a time, both Dong's and Yuan's armies suffered casualties.

"Oops!"

Zhao Yun raised his eyebrows and said to himself, "Oh no!"

The battlefield was in chaos just now, and he and Huang Zhong were both caught in the chaos, and they didn't notice that the enemy had reinforcements arriving.

At this time, they were in a very passive position, with arrows raining down. Even though a high rate of their own soldiers were wearing armor, many soldiers who were not equipped with armor were killed.

"Zilong, what should we do?"

Huang Zhong was also fighting a battle for the first time, so he hurriedly asked Zhao Yun.

"The chances of victory are gone. Today's mission is accomplished. Retreat immediately. Do not linger in the battle."

"Brothers, follow me!"

Zhao Yun swung his spear to shoot down a few stray arrows, then retreated south carrying Gao Lan.

"withdraw!"

"Brothers, withdraw!"

Huang Zhong roared loudly.

Since they had just been the victorious side, although Dong's army was in some chaos, there was no sign of defeat.

As the order to retreat continued to sound on the battlefield, the army immediately followed the military flag and evacuated south.

"Chase!"

"We must not let the enemy escape!"

Wen Chou immediately gave orders to lead his troops in pursuit.

"General, don't chase after a desperate enemy."

"General Ju once said that we should just rescue the army and never pursue the enemy, as there are still large forces behind them."

Han Meng did not agree, but instead gave a reminder.

The battle is over, but the enemy's rear guard is still on the way.

If we pursue them too far, we will only cause great harm to our lord.

After hearing Han Meng's reminder, although Wen Chou secretly resented it, he had no choice but to agree.

In the Battle of Huangze, Zhao Yun did not expect that there would be such twists and turns along the way.

But the result was good after all. Not only did they capture the two enemy generals Zhang He and Gao Lan alive, they also defeated their armies.

Although they were unable to further expand their victory and wipe out the army because of the arrival of Wen Chou and his men, they still caused considerable casualties to the other side.

According to Zhao Yun's estimation, it would be difficult for even half of Yuan's 5,000 troops to survive.

After counting, our side found that more than a thousand of the three thousand soldiers were killed, most of whom were unarmored soldiers who were injured or killed in the rain of arrows.

In such a chaotic situation, it was impossible to take all the wounded away during the retreat.

"Damn it, it's my fault for not considering this. If it weren't for the enemy reinforcements arriving, we wouldn't have lost so many men this time."

Zhao Yun looked back with gritted teeth, a flash of self-blame passing through his mind.

"Zilong, you don't have to blame yourself."

"We have a small army, so we can't be considered a failure if we can achieve such a result. Although it's not a big victory, it can be considered a small victory."

Huang Zhong has a relatively optimistic personality.

In his view, war is never without its downsides.

It is precisely because war is full of uncertainty that every small victory is precious.

As for the great victory with a magnificent casualty ratio.

In Huang Zhong's opinion, sometimes relying solely on the strength of the soldiers themselves is not enough, and some luck is also needed.

"It's a pity for my brothers."

Zhao Yun shook his head, looking a little sad.

Just as Zhao Yun led his army to retreat southward to join Dong Yu's army, Yuan's army also retreated to Yecheng.

邺城

Inside the government office, Ju Su and Shen Pei were standing in front of the map in a daze.

"The enemy has passed Bai Ma, and Yecheng is in danger."

"We should immediately send someone to Bohai to inform the lord of this matter."
