Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

Vol 2 Chapter 178: withdraw

On the day that the news of the chaos in Chang'an City broke out, Xu Rong sent people to Nanyang to report the matter, but Chang'an was eight hundred miles away from Niiyang, even if the post system from Chang'an to Niyang was killed by Lu Bu due to the war After recovering, the expedited documents were delivered every 20 miles to maintain the fastest speed, and it was already the third day when the news reached Lu Bu.

"My lord, Chang'an has been settled, and our army has no worries!" Zhao Ang, who delivered the letter, also read the letter after Lu Bu read it, and said excitedly.

Lu Bu nodded silently, then looked at Zhao Ang and said, "Pass our order, prepare to withdraw!"

"Well, the last commander will go and inform... withdraw the army!?" Zhao Ang thought that Lu Bu was going to fight Yuan Shu in an all-round way, and was about to agree, but after hearing this, his face suddenly became stunned, and he looked at Lu Bu with a stunned expression: "My lord , the rear is safe, and our army has no future troubles at this time, why are we withdrawing at this time?"

Lu Bu didn't answer, but turned to look at Zhao Ang.

"Here!" Zhao Ang bowed and turned around to pass the order.

I thought that at least some people would question this matter. Who knew that after Zhao Ang's order came, no one would have the slightest doubt whether it was Gao Shun, Li Ru or Yin Feng, the general of Nanyang appointed by Lu Bu, and they quickly began to pack up. Prepare to withdraw.

"Counselor, can I wait to persuade the lord?" Zhao Ang looked at Li Ru with some doubts.

"Why do you want to persuade?" Li Ru asked rhetorically.

"In the battle of Nanyang, our army has been victorious, and Yuan Shu has retreated to Wancheng. Now that our army's troubles have been eliminated, why do we have to withdraw at this time!?" Zhao Ang did not understand, Yuan Shu's first prince's halo was this time. Being beaten by Lu Bu in the Battle of Nanyang became a joke. Now that the last worry is gone, Lu Bu is preparing to withdraw his troops. No matter how you look at it, this is not the order that should be given at this time?

"What if Yuan Shu keeps guarding Wancheng?" Li Ru asked.

"Without food and water, Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses are far ahead of us. How can we fight a war of attrition with our army?" Zhao Ang said solemnly.

Perhaps even the generals under Lu Bu did not realize that, in their conception, they had unknowingly regarded Yuan Shu, whose strength was nearly twice theirs, as a weak force, and could be besieged at will.

Fortunately, Li Ru didn't follow along, but shook his head: "I was worried that the lord was blindly confident and would be taken advantage of by Yuan Shu, but now it seems that the worry should not be the lord, but you young people!"

Zhao Ang was stunned. Looking at Li Ru's back, he seemed to realize what he was saying. 50,000 horses surrounded a city of 80,000 troops?

On the other side, beside Gao Shun, Ma Chao also had the same doubts.

"General, we haven't fought yet, why are we leaving?" Ma Chao has followed Gao Shun for a while, and Zhang Yang's personality has become much more introverted. Now he looks more like a soldier, but for Lu Bu's decision this time, he Very incomprehensible.

Why do you want to withdraw your troops when you have been victorious in successive battles? The most important thing is... As the main force, Gao Shun has never participated in a serious battle. The withdrawal of troops at this time made Ma Chao, who was full of wanting to use this battle to make a career, very uncomfortable. He couldn't accept this.

"This is a military order!" Gao Shun frowned and looked at Ma Chao.

"The commander knew, and he didn't say he would disobey, but the commander refused to accept it!" Ma Chao said with a sullen face.

"Wait, go and pack up, tomorrow the three armies will all withdraw from Nieyang and retreat to Wuguan!" Gao Shun said while looking at the map.

"Here!" Ma Chao felt resentful, but it was obvious that Gao Shun couldn't stand on his side, so he could only retreat with a depressed salute, and reluctantly started to pack up.

Wancheng is sixty miles away from Nieyang, and since this side began to withdraw from Nieyang the next morning, it was natural that they could not escape Yuan Shu's army.

"When Chang'an has changed, my lord, this is a good opportunity from heaven!" Yan Xiang got up and said to Yuan Shu.

From Chang’an to Nanyang, there is still Wuguan to go from Lu Bu’s side, but Yuan Shu’s news is much slower. Not only does he have to come from Yaoshan, which is farther away, but also the stations along the way have long since been abandoned as Heluo was abandoned. , the post station west of Tongguan belongs to Lu Bu, and it is even more impossible for them to use it. Therefore, Yuan Shu is at least five days or more behind Lu Bu in terms of news about Guanzhong.

At this time, it is time to test the judgment and courage of the chief general. If he waits for the exact news, Lu Bu may have already returned to Wuguan, and it is basically impossible to hold Lu Bu back.

Yan Xiang looked at Yuan Shu, it was time to make a decision!

"You mean... that has already succeeded there?" Yuan Shu got up and said excitedly.

"It is said that Lu Bu retreated quite quickly and decisively. If Guanzhong was not successful, would Lu Bu'an be so urgent?" Yan Xiang nodded fiercely.

Judging from the information I have received so far, Lu Bu's withdrawal of the army is really not a drag on the water!

"Kill my soldiers, plunder my people, and now you want to leave so easily!?" Yuan Shu sneered, "I passed my army orders and ordered all the troops to immediately pursue Lu Bu, there must be no mistake!"

Since Lu Bu can't be used by me, I can't let him go back to Chang'an alive!

Yuan Shu was quite bold in his decision. After learning that Lü Bu had withdrawn, he immediately sent troops to pursue him without saying a word.

The Jianghuai Army, who had been staying in Wancheng and did not dare to leave the city to fight, was proud this time. Under the leadership of various generals, they quickly crossed Nieyang, especially after seeing that Nieyang was indeed empty, it was even more arrogant and nervous. Go after Lu Bu.

And this time, Lu Bu seemed to be in a hurry. He changed his previous strength against Yuan Shu's army. Along the way, a lot of useless baggage was left behind, which showed that Lu Bu was impatient.

After just chasing it for two days, Yuan Shu's army had already chased deep into the Qinling Mountains, but Lu Bu's army had never been seen. According to the scouts' investigation, it was just ahead, but it was always so short that it couldn't catch up!

"My lord, beware of deceit!" Yan Xiang chased here, faintly aware of something wrong, and came to Yuan Shu's side and said solemnly.

"What's the trick?" Yuan Shu asked with a frown.

Yan Xiang carefully recalled what happened during this time, and frowned: "Looking at it as a minister, Lu Bu is not only brave in the world, but also has evidence of advancing and retreating. Our army is chasing after us all the way, but we can't see any obstacles..."

Yuan Shu snorted coldly and said, "The rear is cut off. A little carelessness will lead to a doomed situation. At this time, how can we talk about square inch? Besides, we have already chased here, so why should we give up?"

At this time, Yuan Shu was quite courageous, Yan Xiang hesitated for a while, and persuaded: "In order to avoid being caught in the scheme, we should order the troops to draw a little closer, so as not to be taken advantage of by that Lu Bu!"

Yuan Shu was about to say something, but saw a commotion in the front army, and there were faint shouts of killing in front of him. Yuan Shu was about to ask questions, but someone had already rushed over and bowed to Yuan Shu and said, "My lord, General Chen Lan's troops have suffered. The enemy army is in ambush and has been routed, and now the routed troops are coming here!"

Yuan Shu was stunned when he heard the words, glanced at Yan Xiang, and hurriedly said: "Quick, tell us that the three armies will form a formation, and tell those defeated soldiers to walk around the mountains and forests on both sides and not to attack the main formation!"

This terrain is not conducive to the formation of the formation. Once the main formation is disrupted by the defeated army, the enemy army will take advantage of the situation to rush in, and the consequences will be very bad.

"Here!"

The general in charge of commanding the army hurriedly went to give orders, and Yuan Shu's army immediately split the formation and looked forward vigilantly.

The collapsed troops in front had already arrived one after another. The smarter ones rushed to the mountains and forests on both sides after they got the order, but most of them didn't have the brains, and ran here like flies without their heads.

"Let the arrows go!" Yuan Shu shouted fiercely. At this time, he didn't care who the opponent was. As long as he dared to try to disrupt his Chinese army formation, he would be the enemy. If he killed him, he would be merciless.

With Yuan Shu's order, in an instant, the arrows fell, and a large number of the defeated army was shot by the arrows of their own family members. At this time, I thought of detouring, but at this moment, there was a sudden scream of killing in the forest. Yuan Shu's army who entered the forest quickly rushed out again, and a group of soldiers and horses rushed out from the mountain forest. Under Yuan Shu's horrified eyes, the cavalry drove the defeated army to kill.

"Stop them!" Yuan Shu's expression changed, and it was too late to change the formation. He could only use the existing square formation to block, but the original side was now the front. , However, this time, when life was threatened on both sides, the routed soldiers went completely crazy, and savagely chopped the weapons in their hands to the former Paoze.

Yuan Shu's Chinese army formation had not yet come into contact with the enemy, and it began to show signs of instability.

Seeing this, Yuan Shu's face turned pale. If this goes on like this, the Chinese army will soon be overrun by the enemy army, and he doesn't want to be a prisoner of Lu Bu.

"Master, it's dangerous here, I'll wait for the protector to return to Nanyang first!" Several generals approached Yuan Shu and said solemnly.

Lu Bu's ambushes appeared. According to the previous procedures for fighting against Lu Bu, more ambushes will appear in succession. At this time, it is better to withdraw first!

"Okay!" Although Yuan Shu was unwilling, compared to his own life, this unwillingness was nothing! ?

Immediately, under the **** of the soldiers, he left the central army and walked back with Yan Xiang.

Fortunately, the leader of the Chinese army was not Yuan Shu. Otherwise, if Yuan Shu left, the Chinese army would collapse immediately.

Yuan Shu broke away from the central army and soon joined Qiao Rui's army behind.

"My lord, this is..." Qiao Rui looked at Yuan Shu somewhat puzzled.

"The front army and the central army are ambushed, I'll wait to withdraw from the Qinling Mountains first!" Yuan Shu finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Qiao Rui, and hurriedly urged Qiao Rui to command the army to withdraw to the direction of Niyang.

However, before the army had left ten miles, random arrows were suddenly fired in a valley and in the mountains and forests on both sides.

"Yuan Shu dog thief, hurry up and leave your mobile phone!" With a tiger roar, Dian Wei, like a meat grinder, rushed towards the direction of the central army with a group of people frantically, where the pair of iron halberds passed, The stump and the broken arm fell to the ground, it really is a **** blocking a killing god!

On the hillside, Xun You, who was standing beside Lu Bu, had some lingering fears...
