Chapter 868: Guerrilla Warfare

Zhang Liao sent some generals to go.

Several generals ran wildly and then stopped.

"We will set up an ambush in the cluster to stop them for a while." General Xu Li said.

A few people looked at this long valley. Although the terrain was not dangerous, it was well used. They dared not kill the enemy, but it was a good place to stop them from marching.

"I agree, but if the enemy army is strong, I suggest that we should retreat. My lord has always told us to pay attention to the lives of soldiers. If we save people, we will save the land. If we lose the land, we will lose everything."

Several generals began to discuss.

In the end, it was decided that 5,000 people would prepare here, and the 5,000 people would start to harass them, mainly harassing them, not contacting them to fight, and slowing down their marching speed.

Five thousand people ran wildly for about half a day before they made contact with their former army.

After contact, the five thousand people immediately pretended to charge for a while, and then retreated immediately.

The five thousand fled in the other direction.

Xuzhou's army was furious, and five thousand people dared to come and be arrogant.

Immediately command the army to pursue.

Zhang Liao brought 10,000 cavalry, because it was inconvenient to transport cavalry by water.

All the ten thousand people were given to these five generals.

They split in two.

Xuzhou's army chased the 5,000 men. After chasing for half an hour, they couldn't catch up, so they retreated.

"This must be an enemy conspiracy." General Xuzhou judged.

Therefore, the Xuzhou army stopped chasing, and then stopped temporarily to track the soldiers and horses of Youzhou.

After tracking for two hours, no trace of the enemy was found.

"No, this must be their tactic to slow down the troops, and they must rush to support as soon as possible." The general in Xuzhou judged that they must have delayed themselves to deal with Yuan Xi.

Xuzhou soldiers and horses accelerated their marching speed, but after an hour, Youzhou soldiers and horses appeared again,

attack their rear.

Although the loss was huge, dozens of people were killed and several grain trucks were burned.

But Xuzhou soldiers and horses dare not be careless.

In this way, Xuzhou's soldiers and horses could only slow down.

In addition, cavalry were sent several times to drive them away.

But the soldiers and horses in Youzhou just didn't fight, and kept fighting guerrillas.

When they arrived at the ambush location that they would discuss before, they arrived more than two hours later than normal.

Liang Yong, the general of Xuzhou, hurried on with his soldiers and horses.

Walking into the canyon, because the terrain is not very dangerous, I didn't pay much attention to it.

After walking a third of the way, both sides ambushed and attacked them.

"Not good, there is an ambush."

"The shield in front blocks it."

"Both sides fought back immediately."

Liang Yong did not panic, but hurriedly commanded the army to counterattack.

Liang Yong stabilized the situation, and then began to counterattack.

After some fighting, Liang Yong had a preliminary judgment.

"The enemy army is not strong, give me a strong attack."

The terrain is not very dangerous, and his army has the advantage, so Liang Yong decided to attack by force.

It is also very clear for Liang Yong to choose this road. It is the closest to Qi State and can avoid the soldiers and horses of Youzhou.

Seeing Youzhou soldiers and horses holding them back with a small number of soldiers and horses was trying to encircle and wipe out Yuan Xi before they arrived.

With this basic judgment, he sent strong troops to start a strong attack.

The result was similar to what he had expected, there were really not many soldiers and horses in Youzhou setting up an ambush here.

He kept attacking with little loss, so Liang Yong stepped up his attack and started to counterattack along the mountain ridge after attacking the mountain ridge.

After half a day, Liang Yong drove the soldiers and horses of Youzhou out of the valley.

This made Xu Li and the other five people very frustrated. According to estimates, they would have to stay here for a while, and in the end they would die.

"It took about half a time to hold them back after losing about a thousand people." Xu Li regretted.

Another general analyzed: "We are still inexperienced and not well prepared. After letting them attack the mountain ridge, we have no way to deal with it."

"Yeah, careless, we still have too much to learn."

Several generals led the army independently, and Zhang Liao asked the five of them to come out together.

The first battle was not very good, and the set goal was not achieved.

They began to discuss again.

In the end, Xu Li concluded: "We must reduce our own losses, otherwise, even if we successfully complete the mission, the casualties are too great, and we will be sorry for the lord."

"We are divided into two parts, harassing them day and night, and setting up more obstacles. If we can't beat them, it is still possible to delay them."

Several people formulated several methods and plans, and the troops were divided into two groups to start preparations.

Every few attacks at night, however, with Bai's experience, the Xuzhou army was very cautious and did not let them succeed.

Although they didn't succeed, the soldiers and horses in Xuzhou didn't have a good rest.

Second, the Xuzhou army, which is not well rested, is naturally slower.

But the slowness is not very noticeable.

Then the army that went to harass at night took advantage of the cavalry and ran to the front to rest.

And the other half started to come out to harass.

"You slowly attack with three teams. The first team turns to retreat immediately after shooting the arrows. The second team launches a second attack after hitting tens of meters. After releasing the arrows, they must retreat immediately. The third team, then March 20 to 30 meters, shoot arrows, you can only shoot three rounds of arrows at most, and then you must retreat."

"If anyone causes unnecessary casualties to me, I will not be the captain."

Xu Li organized three teams, a total of 500 people, to prepare for a three-round attack.

The attack method is very simple, rush forward, open the way with arrows, release the arrows before the enemy reacts, and then retreat.

I don't know how much it can kill, and it doesn't matter, as long as it can slow down their speed.

The three teams were twenty or thirty meters apart and began to attack.

On the flat ground, five hundred war horses moved very fast.

The enemy army has been spotted hundreds of meters away and has made defenses.

The three soldiers and horses were divided into three sections, and then attacked to prevent the enemy from rushing up.

After three rounds of attack, the cavalry turned a sharp turn and ran away.

Liang Yong yelled angrily after watching the whole process.

There were no casualties among the soldiers and horses in Youzhou, but there were also many casualties on our own side, with dozens of people killed in battle.

It's not about the number of casualties, it's about our own side suffering a big loss this time. Obviously, the enemy is trying to hinder your march.

The emergency stop this time will delay at least half an hour.

Hearing the movement in the rear, he thought the enemy was attacking, so he quickly surrounded the luggage, unloaded the luggage, and started on the road again.

Liang Long also wanted to divide his troops, a front army and a rear army, but he was afraid of the enemy's attack and took the opportunity to eat part of him.

This is a commonly used method in the military.

If Liang Yong has the advantage in military strength, he will definitely do so.

Then, they have to endure endless harassment along the way.

Sometimes the army passed by, making sure that there was no ambush on the side of the road, suddenly rushed out hundreds of people, and shot them.

These harassing troops are gone with one blow and never love to fight.
