Chapter 803 Following the Night Fight

"I am under Zhang Yongnian's command. I have something important to see the general!"

"General, this person has seen you."

Liu Ye opened his eyes in confusion in his sleep, and saw Guan Hai grabbing a Yizhou soldier and walking over. Liu Ye shook his head and said sleepily: "If you have anything to do, just tell me."

"General, Zhang Ren has withdrawn from Jiange tonight. My family has sent a special person to tell the general, don't miss this great opportunity!"

"What?"

Liu Ye's three-point sleepiness suddenly disappeared without a trace, and he suddenly became energetic.

After thinking for a while, he looked at Guan Hai with bright eyes: "Zifu, go and inform brother Shoucheng immediately, and ask him to immediately lead the Xiliang cavalry to attack the enemy. Be sure to entangle Zhang Ren, and then my army will all come out. This This time we must destroy the main force of the Yizhou Army in one fell swoop!"

With Jiange present, the Liangzhou Army's numerical advantage could not be shown at all. But now that the enemy has withdrawn from Jiange, they only need to entangle the enemy and then take the opportunity to start a decisive battle. As long as most of Zhang Ren's main force can be eliminated, Yizhou will declare its assessment, because in the entire Bashu territory, there is no longer an army that can compete with the Xiliang army.

"Here!"

Guan Hai didn't dare to delay and hurriedly turned around and left. Liu Ye shouted, and his personal guards had already come forward to dress him and put on armor.

"Walk faster, look clearly at the comrades in front of you, don't fall behind!"

More than 20,000 Yizhou troops marched hurriedly on the road. After all, at most until dawn, the Xiliang army would find out that the Jiange people were empty. Liu Ye would definitely order a pursuit by then. It would only be a mere night. They couldn't walk dozens of miles, and if they were overtaken by the Xiliang Army, the Yizhou Army without the sword pavilion to block it would definitely not be a match for the Xiliang Army.

Zhang Ren was riding on his horse with his brows furrowed, thinking about how to break the siege after arriving in Chengdu and how to repel the Xiliang army. This problem was so taxing that even famous generals like Zhang Ren couldn't think of a way to deal with it.

In fact, even if there are really 30,000 enemy troops outside the city of Chengdu, and the more than 10,000 elite soldiers in the city have sufficient food and grass, even if they cannot defeat the enemy troops, it is not difficult to defend the city. My lord is really... Alas!

As for Wu Yi and Meng Da, they can't even hold Mianzhu Pass!

After much thought, Zhang Ren could not figure out a strategy to retreat from the enemy. Instead, Zhang Ren became more and more angry as he thought about it. For a moment, fire seemed to be spitting out from his eyes. If it were two thousand years later, Zhang Ren would probably sigh with emotion: Pig teammates. What a terrible death!

Although the more than 20,000 Yizhou Army retreated overnight, they were in good order under the leadership of generals at all levels. However, suddenly there was a commotion in the rear of the Yizhou Army, and the sound of killing was faintly heard.

Zhang Ren frowned, reined in the horse's head, and shouted: "What's going on behind the scenes? What's the matter?"

The scout hurriedly went to investigate, and when he came back not long after, he looked a little ugly.

"Grand Governor, the Xiliang army is coming to kill us."

"What? How did the Xiliang army know that our army was retreating?"

Zhang Ren frowned and said calmly: "It doesn't matter, the people I have placed in the rear are elite soldiers from the army. If the Xiliang army catches up, there will be no benefit."

"kill!"

Liu Ye took the Xiliang cavalry led by Ma Teng as the vanguard and pursued Zhang Renjun first. Ma Teng naturally pursued Zhang Renjun with three thousand Xiliang cavalry without saying a word. The Xiliang Iron Cavalry was fast with one man and two horses. Although the Yizhou Army evacuated first, it was naturally impossible for a man's two legs to outrun the four legs of a war horse.

Ma Xiu, who was running in front, saw the Yizhou Army not far away, and excitedly said to the people around him: "The Yizhou Army is in front, brothers, follow me and fight, don't let Zhang Ren escape!"

"Kill!"

Three thousand Xiliang cavalry rushed forward with murderous aura, their horses' hooves trampled the ground, and their whole bodies exuded murderous aura, as if they were divine soldiers rushing away from hell.

boom!

Three thousand Xiliang cavalry hit the Yizhou army's rear formation like a sharp cone. The Yizhou army was defenseless, and the rear army's formation was immediately torn apart by the front of the Xiliang cavalry. The Yizhou soldiers who were knocked out of the formation by the cavalry had to fight alone and were soon submerged in the sea of ​​cavalry.

"Don't be afraid, don't mess up the formation! Form a formation to resist the enemy!"

Leng Bao shouted loudly. Zhang Ren had expected that the Xiliang Army would definitely send troops to pursue him, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly. However, he had already set up elite soldiers and generals in the rear army with rich combat experience. Under Leng Bao's organization, these veterans of many battles quickly reacted and formed a formation on the spot, as calm as rocks, resisting the oncoming Xiliang cavalry.

Thousands of Xiliang cavalry came swarming with murderous intent, but the Yizhou army formation remained unmoved and stood firm as a rock, resisting the enemy's attack. If the Xiliang Iron Cavalry is like being swept by the endless waves, then the Yizhou Army Formation is like a rock standing on the seaside. No matter how many waves come, I will stand still.

Ma Xiu was eager to make great achievements. When he saw the enemy's formation was so tight, he rushed into it with a loud shout. A lance in his hand suddenly thrust out and pierced the throat of a Yizhou soldier.

"kill!"

Unexpectedly, when the other Yizhou soldiers saw their comrades dying in battle, they showed no fear at all. Instead, they shared the same hatred with the enemy. They stabbed Ma Xiu with their beheading knives and five or six spears. If they hit Ma Xiu, they would stab him into a hedgehog. No.

A chill ran down Ma Xiu's spine, and cold sweat oozed from his back. At this moment, he stepped off his horse and suddenly stood up.

Puff puff puff!

Both the spear and the blade fell on the war horse, and the war horse suddenly screamed. Matthew rolled off the horse, but he saved his life. He was secretly grateful and did not dare to stay. He grabbed the spear and ran back. Riding on the spare war horse. Riding on the horseback, Matthew realized that most of his clothes were wet with sweat. Thinking back to the scene just now, he couldn't help but feel scared.

"Xiu'er, are you okay?"

Ma Teng galloped after him and shouted.

"Dad, the child is okay."

Ma Teng saw Ma Xiu riding a horse with his own eyes, but he was sweating coldly and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Riding and shooting, riding and shooting!"

Ma Teng saw that the Yizhou Army's formation was tight and he could not attack in a hurry. The light cavalry was usually used to inquire about military information or cut off food routes. Only when the enemy's army was broken up could they take the opportunity to rush and kill. If you force the light cavalry to attack a stubborn military formation like the Yizhou Army in front of you, the result will only be heavy losses. It is better to harass it with the cavalry shooting of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.

"Mounted shooting!"

There was a creaking sound, and the Xiliang cavalry on horseback grabbed the bows behind them, pointed them at the Yizhou soldiers in front of them, stretched their bows and fired.

Whoosh whoosh!

"ah!"

"Well"

A burst of screams suddenly came from the Yizhou army, mixed with a muffled groan.
