Chapter 865

Zhang Liao sent some young generals to go.

After a day of running, several young players stopped.

"We set up an ambush here to stop them for a day." Xu Li said.

Several people looked at this long valley. Although the terrain is not dangerous, it is well used. They dare not say how much to kill the enemy. It is a good place to stop them from marching.

"I agree, but if the enemy is strong, I suggest that we should retreat. The Lord has always told us to pay attention to the lives of our soldiers. If we save people, we will save land. If we lose people, we will lose both people and land."

Several young generals began to talk.

Finally, it was decided that five thousand people would be here to prepare, and five thousand people would begin to harass them, mainly by harassing them. They would not contact them to fight and slow down their march.

It took five thousand men another half day or so to get in touch with their former army.

After contact, 5000 people immediately pretended to charge for a while, and then immediately retreated.

The five thousand fled in the other direction.

The Xuzhou army is so angry that 5000 people dare to be arrogant.

Command the army to pursue immediately.

Zhang Liao took ten thousand cavalry with him, because it was inconvenient to transport them by water.

All these ten thousand people have been given to the five young generals.

They split in two.

The Xuzhou army pursued the 5000 men, but after half an hour, they could not catch up, so they retreated.

"It must be the enemy's plot." Xuzhou general judgment said.

As a result, the Xuzhou army did not pursue, and then temporarily stopped to track the troops and horses in Youzhou.

After tracking for two hours, there was no sign of the enemy.

"No, it must be their delaying strategy. They must rush to support as soon as possible." The general of Xuzhou judged that they must be holding themselves back to deal with Yuan Xi.

Xuzhou soldiers and horses speed up the March, but an hour later, Youzhou soldiers and horses appear again, attacking their rear army.

Although the loss was small, dozens of people were killed and several grain and grass vehicles were burned.

But Xuzhou soldiers and horses dare not be careless.

In this way, the soldiers and horses in Xuzhou can only slow down.

In addition, cavalry was sent out several times.

But the troops in Youzhou did not take up the war, and they were fighting guerrillas all the time.

When they arrived at the ambush site discussed by several young generals, they arrived more than two hours later than normal.

Xuzhou General Liang Yong, with his troops on his way.

Into the canyon, because the terrain is not very dangerous, it did not care.

After a third, both sides ambushed and attacked them.

"No, there's an ambush."

"Shield ahead."

"Both sides fight back immediately."

Liang Yong did not panic, but hastened to command the army to fight back.

Liang Yong stabilized the situation and then began to fight back.

After a battle, Liang Yong had a preliminary judgment.

"The enemy 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.

Liang Yong's choice of this road is also very clear. It is the closest to the state of Qi, and at the same time, it can avoid the soldiers and horses in Youzhou.

Seeing Youzhou soldiers and horses dragging them with a small amount of soldiers and horses is to try to encircle and annihilate Yuan Xi before they arrive.

With this basic judgment, he sent strong soldiers to attack.

The result is similar to what he expected. There are not many soldiers and horses in Youzhou.

Liang Yong stepped up his attack, and after attacking the mountain ridge, he began to fight back along the mountain ridge.

Half a day later, Liang Yong drove the troops of Youzhou out of the valley.

This made Xu Li and other five people very depressed. According to the estimation, they would have to stay here for a day, but they couldn't do it in half a day.

"It took about a thousand people to delay them for half a day." Xu Li said regretfully.

Another analysis said: "we are still inexperienced, not ready, let them attack the ridge after we have no way to deal with."

"Yes, we have too much to learn."

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

The first battle was not played very well and the set goal was not achieved.

They began to discuss again.

Finally, Xu Li concluded: "we must reduce our losses, otherwise, even if we successfully complete the task, we will be sorry for the heavy casualties."

"We are divided into two parts, harassing day and night, setting up more obstacles, but it's OK to delay them."

Several people worked out several methods and plans, divided them into two groups, and began to prepare.

At night, they attacked several times a day. However, with the experience of the day, 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.

The next day, the Xuzhou army, which had a bad rest, naturally slowed down.

But slowing down is not obvious.

Then at night to harass the army, the use of cavalry advantage, ran to the front to rest.

And the other half started to come out and harass.

"You slowly attack by three teams. The first team immediately turns to retreat after shooting the arrow. The second team launches a second attack after hitting tens of meters. It must retreat immediately after releasing the arrow. The third team, then, it can only launch three rounds of arrow after 20 or 30 meters. It must retreat later."

"If anyone gives me unnecessary casualties, the team leader won't be a team leader."

Xu Li organized three teams, a total of 500 people, to prepare a team of three rounds of attack.

The way to attack is very simple: rush up, open the way with the arrow, put the arrow before the enemy responds, and then retreat.

It doesn't matter how much you can kill, as long as you can slow them down.

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

Five hundred horses on the ground, very fast.

Hundreds of meters away, the enemy has found and defended.

Three troops and horses, divided into three sections, attack later, so that the enemy can not rush up.

After three rounds of attack, the cavalry took a big turn and ran away.

Liang Yong saw the whole process and cried out angrily.

There were no casualties in Youzhou's troops and horses, and the casualties on its own side were very small, so dozens of people were killed.

It's not about the number of casualties. It's because our side suffered a big loss this time. Obviously, the enemy is trying to hinder your March.

This emergency stop will take at least half an hour.

When the rear heard the news, they thought that the enemy was attacking, so they quickly surrounded the baggage, unloaded the baggage, set out on the road again, and organized the formation. It's absolutely impossible without half an hour.

Liang Long also wanted to divide his troops, with 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 common method in military affairs.

If Liang Yong had military superiority, he would certainly have.

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

Sometimes the army passes by and makes sure there is no ambush on the roadside, and suddenly hundreds of people rush out to shoot them.

These harassed troops are always on their way and never love to fight.
