Yuan Shu's Great Return
Chapter 659:Yuan Shu's Great Return
Just when the weather changed overnight in Liyang, a storm was also brewing in the Yuzhou battlefield.
A few days ago, Yuan Shu learned that Zhang Liao attacked Shouchun, and when the nest was in a hurry, he did not hesitate to return with a hundred thousand troops.
His foundation is in Jianghuai, if he loses Jianghuai, he will be homeless, and this Zhongshi Tianzi will also become the biggest laughing stock.
It was just that Yuan Shu did not expect that his return journey would be tragic.
From Shouchun away from Chen Guo is only a few hundred miles, if the horse can return in a day, but the return of 100,000 troops is not a day's work, the march is slow, and there are a large number of heavy drags from Chen Guo's looting, walking more slowly, that is, the life is only 30 miles a day.
Yuan Shu worried about the situation in Shouchun, anxious in his heart, pain ordered the abandonment of heavy, only with grain and grass, this downward army speed is much faster, but also more than 50 miles.
Yuan Shu also wants to take the elite first, but was blocked by the courtiers, the soldiers and horses are too few even to fight Zhang Liao ah, in the face of Zhang Liao's elite soldiers, the oiling tactics will only be sent to death, only concentrated forces to attack less, there is a chance to win.
In desperation, Yuan Shu could only command Ji Ling of Peigu and Liu Xun of Lujiang to rescue Shou Chun.
But at the same time, after the withdrawal of Yuan Shu, the latter, decisively pursued from Yingchuan, and the pursuit speed was much faster than Yuan Shu's march.
Yuan Shujun immediately ordered Li Feng and Liang Gang, who were withdrawn from Chen Liu, after breaking.
Yan Ba is one of the few fierce generals in the world, not bad for the fun, in the prohibition, more good at the army, Li Feng, Liang Gang how to resist, eat and lose the battle, Liang Gang was more bravely killed by the fierce board.
However, at this time, Yuan Shu had been unable to care about the rear, he retreated into the territory of Yunan, but you are already in chaos, the yellow scarf is raging, a large area of the strong castle dock has been broken, and even the 10,000 soldiers and horses he left behind in the south of the country are missing.
Although it was already known that the situation in Younan was not good, the real situation exceeded Yuan Xu's expectations, which made him extremely angry, but what made him even more angry was that his main force was attacked by two soldiers and horses at night.
The two soldiers and horses who attacked together were only 20,000, but they were extremely strong, hanging a Yang and Jiang, Yuan Shu did not hear, but it was two nameless generals who killed them, and even Yuan Shu's Chinese army was almost broken through, and Yuan Shu disguised himself as a soldier to escape.
These two soldiers and horses were naturally taken by Yang Han and Jiang Qi, and they were ordered by Zhang Liao to set up an amputation to intercept Yuan Shu along the way.
After dawn, Yuan Shu gathered the soldiers and horses, only to find that one night, his dispersal of the soldiers and horses actually more than 20,000 people, Yuan Shi angry under the whole army to fight with Yang Han, Jiang Qi, the result of Yang Han and Jiang Qi took the soldiers out of the dust.
Yuan Shu was helpless and could only continue to rush to Shouchun, and as a result, Yang Han and Jiang Qi chased up again, killing nearly a thousand people.
Yuan Shu turned back in anger, and Yang Han and Jiang Qi retreated again.
So several times, Yuan Xu thought that he had guessed the intention of Yang Han and Jiang Qi, that is, to harass and delay him, and not let him save the spring.
From this, it occurred to him how critical the situation was, Yuan Shu's heart was more anxious, leaving Li Feng with 20,000 soldiers and horses, and he led the 60,000 main force to abandon all the weight, day and night to rush to Shouchun.
Do not want to enter Ruyin County when suddenly encounter heavy rain, when the dusk, the people of Ganlin cheered for a long time, but Yuan Shu's army was a wailing, and 60,000 troops were too late to camp.
Yuan Shu was angry and hated, scolding God, but it was useless, so dark rainy night, he could not light the torch, and he could not see the shadow outside the three steps, so that his soldiers and horses became a group, and later even the generals could not find their soldiers, the soldiers found a place to avoid the rain, and the soldiers and horses completely lost their command.
In the face of such the power of heaven and earth, the manpower could not compete, and Yuan Shu could only take his cronies to hide in a captured house, and soon after, he fell asleep with exhaustion.
As for the tens of thousands of soldiers under his men, most of them had nowhere to hide in the rainy night, and could only hide under the trees or the wall and soak up the night.
And on this rainy night, a man came from the south to the north.
This horse is Zhang Liao's soldier.
These days are too hot, Zhang Liao early to detect the weather is not right, although not completely sure, but he has always been a rainy day, in the days of attacking the spring, has already sent people to the ambush route to explore, even to avoid the rain place is also good, but also from the folk to search for a lot of robes, oil cloth, doves.
Of course, he avoided the rain when it was the most rainy, let the soldiers make enough rest, and then set out.
By dawn, the rain had stopped.
Zhang Liao has stood on a low mountain in Ruyin County, holding a single bamboo telescope, looking at Yuan Xu's soldiers and horses in the distance.
At this time, Yuan's subordinates will gather together, Yuan Shu has not seen anyone, do not realize that Zhang Liao has been looking at the side, to them open the mouth of blood and teeth.
This is the effect of Zhang Liao with soldiers and horses in the rain and night to achieve, all the two sides of the war will have a judgment on the strength and position of the opponent, this judgment is very important, determine their own actions, from yesterday's intelligence, Yuan Shu will predict that he is still outside the city of Shouchun, so Yuan Shu only about to rush to Shouchun will be careful to guard against ambush.
He took the soldiers for dozens of miles, just hit a time difference, so that Yuan Shu judged a mistake and caught off guard.
The heavy rain helped him and made Yuan Shu more relaxed and vigilant.
This is the essence of the raid, to launch an attack where the enemy can't think of it when it is unexpected.
Zhang Liao looked back at his soldiers and horses, although he was tired in the middle of the night, but the momentum and military tolerance were not bad.
Zhang Liao was quite satisfied, not only because he had already made preparations for rain prevention, but more importantly, his soldiers and horses were even more powerful than Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses.
Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses are numerous, but many are recruited for a short time, and there is not much training.His soldiers and horses are different, he is doing the way of the elite soldiers, the recruitment is a layer of selection, after the army is more strict training.
As a general, Zhang Liao has always pursued, the most powerful person is not the strength, but the will, endurance and momentum, strength is often born, and endurance, will and momentum are tempered, especially for the army, training soldiers is to strengthen the will, endurance and momentum of soldiers, and then unified action, strengthen cooperation.
And his overall strength is stronger than Yuan Xuan's horse, will, endurance, momentum and action is stronger than Yuan Xuan horse and horse, the elite way to sacrifice the number, all rely on the quality to make up for the combat effectiveness, is not idle.
Although the rainy night march is tired, it is only a drill, which is one of the subjects of normal training.
At this time, Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses were still gathering together, and Zhang Liao was not eager to attack, but let the soldiers rest a little.
He was waiting for Yuan Shu to gather the soldiers and horses, and now Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses are too scattered, hiding everywhere, the number is more, the fight is troublesome, and their own soldiers are few, scattered to be detrimental to the combat effectiveness.
He would wait until Yuan Xuanjun gathered more than half, but he had not yet formed the surprise attack, which was the best opportunity for Yuan Xue's soldiers and horses to think of the time.
