Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 179 How to Chase Ruo Rong
All kinds of wars now make Ruo Rong's heart in a mess.

Sitting in the big tent of the military camp, his so-called Vajra Arhat Guardians did not dare to provoke him easily.

With the continuous defeat in these days, Ruo Rong, who was always smiling at people like a smiling Buddha, also showed a bit of fierceness. He lost his temper and killed several maidservants and servants around him.

Especially now, just now, when the siege failed, not to mention the loss of troops, and being beaten completely without temper, Ruo Rong made a fuss as soon as he came back, and no one dared to provoke Ruo Rong at this time.

But bad news came one after another, and in the afternoon of this day, another bad news came.

The two camps of Shui and Lu left fifty miles east of Yuzhang City have been destroyed by Zhu Wei's army left there. Now Zhu Wei's army is taking advantage of the situation to attack Yuzhang City. of troops.

But after receiving the news, Ruo Rong was relieved.

He knew that he would never be able to retake Yuzhang City, so he immediately sent an order to retreat to the southwest of Yuzhang City, first went to Xingan County for repairs, then turned to Luling County, and then decided to enter Guiyang, Jingzhou County, or enter Jiaozhou Nanhai County.

At least on the side of Xingan County, there is also a line of defense that Ruo Rong originally defended against Zhu Wei's army. There are more than 3000 Buddhist soldiers and more than 3000 Dharma protectors stationed there, and there are also some food, grass, and weapon reserves there.

In this way, Ruo Rong's army can add another ten and a half months of food supplies. If they plunder the area again, they may get more supplies.

Ruo Rong's determination to escape was made quickly, that is, half an hour later, Ruo Rong's entire army abandoned the camp and left.

However, Zhu Wei also noticed Ruo Rong's actions at the first time. With the enemy's movements displayed on the map of the Three Kingdoms game system, Zhu Wei clearly saw the changes in the movement of Ruo Rong's troops.

At first, Zhu Wei was worried that this was some kind of strategy by Ruo Rong, but through the map of the game system, Zhu Wei quickly discovered that Wang Yuyan had already broken through the two troops left by Ruo Rong, and at the same time, there was an army of about 6000 people on his side. Move quickly in the direction of Yuzhang City.

At this moment, Zhu Wei understood that Ruo Rong was really going to escape.

Judging from the map of the game system, after Wang Yuyan broke through Ruo Rong's two large camps, Tai Shici and Ling Cao led the army to help Yuzhang City. Obviously, he also left Ruo Rong's remaining main force in Yuzhang. Meaning outside the city.

Zhu Wei frowned when he compared the movement speeds of the soldiers and horses led by Tai Shici and Ling Cao, and the speed of Ruo Rong's retreat. Judging from the current situation, if he didn't send troops on his side, Tai Shici and Ling Cao would be afraid. Cao Cao couldn't stop Ruo Rong's army.

Besides, the [-] troops brought by Tai Shici and Ling Cao couldn't compete with Ruo Rong's remaining main force in the field.

Facing a wholeheartedly fleeing army, the [-] troops of Tai Shici and Ling Cao might not even be able to block the way, and they would probably be defeated by Ruo Rong's remaining main force.

Therefore, Zhu Wei also had to send troops, so that he could attack Ruo Rong's remnant soldiers back and forth.

Just according to the distribution of Ruo Rong's troops on the game map of the Three Kingdoms, although Ruo Rong's main force has retreated now, he has left behind the more than 2000 cavalry in his hands, and he can turn back at any time to block Zhu Wei's soldiers who are chasing and killing him.

Although these cavalry were auxiliary troops in Ruo Rong's hands, they did play a key role now.

If Zhu Wei sent troops to chase and kill them, these cavalry could surprise Zhu Wei's pursuing army, and then cover Ruo Rong's army to leave safely, and even cause a lot of trouble for Zhu Wei's chasing Ruo Rong's army.

Zhu Wei thought about it for a while, and immediately recruited Pang Yan, Zu Lang, and Teng Huxiong from Zhonglingshan, and explained to them that Ruo Rong's army had retreated to the southwest, leaving behind more than 2000 cavalry troops and probably The situation of more than 3000 Dharma protectors.

At the same time, Zhu Wei also talked about the situation that Tai Shici and Ling Cao were leading [-] soldiers from the northeast of Yuzhang City. However, judging from the speed of the march, even if Tai Shici and Ling Cao stopped Ruo Rong's army, they would still be in the way. Can't help the departure of Ruo Rong's army.

Hearing Zhu Wei's words, Teng Huxiong didn't have any idea. Anyway, he helped Zhu Wei capture Yuzhang City. Now his Three Thousand Zhongling mountain people are in a state of soy sauce. It's useless for Ze Rong to escape. It's best to continue fighting.

But both Pang Yan and Zu Lang stood up and asked for a fight, asking to lead troops to pursue Ruo Rong's retreating troops.

Zhu Wei didn't discourage them, he just asked them what they would do if they were blocked by Ruo Rong's cavalry. Zhu Wei also emphasized that he wanted the horses of these cavalry very much.

Zhu Wei also made it clear that it depends on which of the two answers he is satisfied with, and whoever leads the troops to chase Ze Rong.

But this really made Pang Yan and Zu Lang a little embarrassed. To be honest, they haven't met cavalry opponents yet, let alone Zhu Wei wants to capture the horses of these cavalry.

Zu Lang opened his mouth a few times, and finally looked at Pang Yan helplessly. As a mountain commander, Zu Lang usually has the most combat experience in mountain warfare. Naturally, it is impossible to encounter cavalry in the mountains, so he is not at all. Know what it will be like to encounter cavalry.

Although Zu Lang could also ride a horse, it was a completely different feeling to ride a horse alone and a cavalry of 2000 people. These cavalry would definitely not dismount and fight on foot when encountering them, so how should they fight the cavalry?

On the contrary, Pang Yan has the tactical knowledge provided by the game system, and he still has some concepts about cavalry, but now how to deal with the cavalry by relying on the mountain soldiers at hand, Pang Yan frowned.

Fortunately, Pang Yan's intelligence is not high, but when it comes to matters on the battlefield, he still has his unique insights, so after thinking about it, Pang Yan said, "If a certain family leads troops to chase Ruo Rong, it is natural to use a force first False pursuit, when the Zerong cavalry attack, a certain family can lure him into the forest and ambush these cavalry in the forest! Maybe they can be wiped out, and some horses can be captured!"

"Well, but if the enemy doesn't enter the forest! Then if you can't chase after them, and you can't fight if you can't fight, then there is nothing you can do!"

In fact, Zhu Wei was also thinking about how he should fight against the cavalry. Since Ruo Rong used the two thousand cavalry as auxiliary troops, he probably didn't know how to use these cavalry to fight.

At least when these cavalrymen came to lure battles in front of Yuzhang City before, Zhu Wei found that they were just infantry on horseback, not equipped with bows and arrows, nor equipped with other weapons, that is, they were equipped with ring-shoulders and swords like ordinary infantry. Double Arc Hand Shield.

It is conceivable that the fighting method of these cavalry is to charge the battle with the help of horsepower, and then chop with the ring sword in hand. This is the most primitive cavalry fighting method, and in fact it is the most expensive cavalry fighting method.

However, Zhu Wei couldn't think of a way to defeat these cavalry and capture the horses of the cavalry. Once the two sides fought close to each other, the horses would definitely be injured.

Think about it, if you don’t have spears or other weapons, and you only have ring-shoulders and double-armed shields in your hands, if you can’t cut down cavalry at once, then all you can do is cut down the horse first.

But this was a waste of these horses. In Zhu Wei's view, the 2 remaining soldiers chasing Ruo Rong were not worth as much as these two thousand horses...
