Chapter 531: Yuan Shao Flees

"My lord, is this Yan Liang crazy? There are still tens of thousands of troops in this barracks who were entangled by Han Sheng and the others, and they didn't escape." Dian Wei was also very surprised to see them igniting the camp.

"Let's go so we don't get burned."

They set fire to the camp, and Zhang Yu had no choice but to retreat.

Of course Yan Liang wasn't crazy, these people trapped in the camp were surrounded by Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun, as long as Zhang Liao and Tai Shici came up, none of them could run away, and when Huang Zhong was freed, they couldn't stop them.

On the other hand, Yuan Shao led his people to retreat all the way.

Until Wen Chou and Gao Lan arrived, they continued to flee for their lives while organizing the team.

At this time, they only had to flee for their lives. Although they didn't know how many troops escaped, the situation must be very bad.

"My lord, my subordinates have long judged that this is a conspiracy by Zhang Yu, but someone has been bewitching my lord, and my lord has suffered such a big defeat." On the way to escape, Guo Tu did not forget to continue to slander.

The appraiser at the side was also afraid that Yuan Shao would pursue it, so he said, "Exactly, Zhang Yu planned all of this long ago, but someone just didn't see it, or they had ulterior motives."

Ju Shou and Tian Feng looked very gloomy, but they didn't say a word. It was the two of them that Shen Pei told Guo Tu.

At that time, the 300,000 troops surrounded the city, so there was no reason not to fight.

But at this time they failed, and they failed so badly that it was useless to say anything.

Yuan Shao gave Jushou and Tian Feng a vicious look, then continued on his way without saying a word.

Under the arrangement of Wen Chou and Gao Lan, they were finally not in a mess, but after organizing the team, it was found that the army of 500,000 was only about 200,000 at this time.

"Gao Lan, you bring 50,000 people to defend here to meet Yan Liang and General Ju Yi." Wen Chou said.

Gao Lan took the lead and led his men to arm the defense.

Wen Chou continued to lead people to flee for their lives.

Wen Chou sorted out another 50,000 cavalry, which was about 50,000 cavalry they had left.

"My lord, you retreat first with the cavalry,

The subordinates and others stayed behind to block Zhang Yu and the others. " Wen Chou said to Yuan Shao.

"How can I leave the army and run for my life? I am determined to lead the army and fight Zhang Yu to the death." Yuan Shao said loudly.

"No, my lord."

"Yes, my lord, victory or defeat is a common matter for military strategists. After we go back, we will organize our troops and make a comeback," Guo Tu said.

Several other staff members also persuaded.

Everyone understood that Yuan Shao didn't want to stay, he just needed a step down.

"Okay, then wait for me to go back, organize soldiers and horses, and kill them back." Under the persuasion of everyone, Yuan Shao could only agree, and then obeyed everyone's opinions and led people to retreat.

Yuan Shao left first with the cavalry, and Wen Chou continued on with the rest.

In other words, Yan Liang ignited the camp, and then quickly retreated with Ju Yi.

It's hard to say how long the fire can be held back, they can only retreat quickly.

On Zhang Yu's side, after the fire started, Zhang Yu led his people to evacuate, and then joined forces with Huang Zhong and the others to kill the enemy troops on the other side who were blocked by the fire.

Most of these people were from other city gates. After receiving the news of the retreat, they wanted to join Yuan Shao, but the fire was already burning, so they were blocked, and then they were killed together with Zhang Yu's soldiers and horses.

Although these soldiers and horses were large in number, they had no backbone. They were divided and surrounded by several generals under Zhang Yu, and then they were slowly killed.

It took Zhang Yu and the others several hours to subdue these soldiers and horses.

Half of the soldiers and horses were killed directly, and half of the soldiers and horses were forced to land.

In this battle, Zhang Yu and the others completely won.

Yuan Shao's army of 500,000 came to kill him, but only about 278,000 returned, a loss of nearly half.

The food and grass of the 500,000 troops were burned or lost.

Zhang Yu and the others also grabbed a lot of supplies.

All the grain and grass in the camp were burned, but some soldiers and horses were also stationed at other city gates, and they also prepared some grain, grass, and equipment, which made Zhang Yu cheaper.

"My lord, should we kill him or not? Yuan Shao'er must not be far away at this time." Dian Wei said.

Zhang Yu said: "Don't worry, they won't run far, let's tidy up here first, let the soldiers rest and recuperate."

It would take three to five days to run out of Liaoxi County, so Zhang Yu really didn't have to worry about it for a while, since most of them were cavalry anyway.

Zhang Yu and the others began to clean up the battlefield, and counted the gains and losses.

In this battle, Zhang Yu and the others lost more than 30,000 soldiers and horses, and captured more than 60,000 soldiers and horses of Yuan Jun. As for how many Yuan Jun were killed, it is still unclear, but at least more than 150,000, or even more.

Zhang Yu was very happy when he heard the battle damage, it was a big victory.

Using special incendiary bombs and grenades, Yuan Jun was caught off guard.

In fact, these things are not very powerful.

But they hadn't seen it before, they weren't prepared, and they were in chaos all of a sudden.

The huge explosion sound is not very powerful, at most it will overturn three or five people, but the soldiers will be afraid, afraid, and run around.

At the same time, a large bottle of alcohol was smashed, and the whole person burned up. How terrifying is this.

Especially the ancients were superstitious and did not understand the principle.

I thought that Zhang Yu and the others had used some kind of demon method, which increased their fear.

Furthermore, what war horses fear most is fire and noise, both of which are their natural enemies.

Under several factors, although Yuan Jun's defense was very good, he was still defeated.

After resting for two hours, Zhang Yu set off with all the cavalry, and Zhang Liao and Tai Shici followed suit. As for the battlefield, it was left to the people in the city to handle.

Zhang Yu continued to chase with soldiers and horses.

On the way, Yan Liang, Wen Chou and others had already withdrawn, but in some key places, a few soldiers and horses were still left to stop Zhang Yu and the others.

They put up obstacles in the way to prevent their passage.

This really worked. A lot of wood and stones were placed on the narrow road, and it would take a lot of time for Zhang Yu and the others to move it.

Zhang Yu and the others kept chasing after them. A few days later, Yuan Shao's army fled to Youbeiping County. Zhang Yu and the others did not stop them on the way.

This is helpless, Yuan Shao still has an army of more than 200,000, Zhang Yu must gather the army and maintain a good state before he dares to catch up.

Yuan Jun is fully capable of ambush on the road, and Zhang Yu can't chase after him desperately.

Not to mention other things, there are also established troops in Yuan Jun, especially Ju Yi's first dead soldiers.

But Zhang Yu quickly caught up, Yuan Shao had just reached You Beiping, Zhang Yu also immediately caught up to You Beiping.

Yuan Shao ran for a few days, but he arrived two days first because he was a cavalry soldier.

After arriving, Yuan Shao became angry. First of all, he liquidated Jushou and Tian Feng, sent them to prison, and then escorted them back to Jizhou.

Yuan Shao is clearing himself of his responsibilities, passing the responsibility to his subordinates, and maintaining his own image.

But what he did was too low-level.
