Chapter 530 The Fall of Huguan
Gao Shun's heart was bleeding, and Qu Yi also felt uncomfortable.
Although he is called the First Dead Soldier, as a general in charge of the army, Qu Yi naturally considers how to reduce casualties. But now that the number of casualties is increasing, how can Qu Yi not feel sad?
"General!" Sima on the side couldn't bear to say: "There are only so many soldiers who have died first. If we kill them all here, how can our army gain a foothold under the lord's tent in the future?"
Qu Yi frowned: "We can't retreat! Once our army retreats, its morale will fluctuate and we will definitely lose today. If we can't take Huguan, then our brothers' deaths will be in vain!"
Not only that, in fact, the reason why Qu Yi refused to retreat was because he hoped that his great achievements in this battle would make Yuan Shao look at him differently. As long as he was reused and received enough money and food, he could naturally rebuild the Xiandenshishi. If he retreated at this time, everything would be over.
"General!" Sima Ku advised: "The reason why the general is able to gain a foothold under Yuan Gong's account is not because of our group of old brothers? If they are all dead, Yuan Gong will just abandon him like a pile of chickens."
Qu Yi said angrily: "Okay, I know how to make a decision, I don't need you to teach me, get out!"
Sima sighed and retreated, while the first-death warriors and the trapped camp were still fighting fiercely, refusing to give in to each other.
"kill!"
Living lives lay on the ground and turned into cold corpses. Gao Shun's face was still cold.
"Hold on and drive the enemy out of Huguan!"
"Fight in. As long as we break through Hu Pass, Bingzhou will be within our control."
Although both Gao Shun and Qu Yi kept cheering for their soldiers, the soldiers on both sides were evenly matched. For a while, the trapped camp did not have the strength to drive out the soldiers who died first, and the soldiers who died first were not strong enough to break through the trap. Frontal defense of the camp.
At this time, as long as there is an external force, it can break the balance between the two parties.
At this time, outside Huguan, a long dragon that was several miles long could be seen winding over the mountains and ridges. Tens of thousands of people holding open fires seemed to form a long fire dragon, trying to swallow up Huguan in one go.
Gao Shun frowned, while Qu Yi was overjoyed.
"Brothers! General Yan Liang has arrived with reinforcements. Let's kill them all!"
"In battle, we must be the first to ascend, and we must fight to the death!"
Upon hearing the arrival of reinforcements, the morale of the soldiers who died first rose to the peak instantly, and the attack became more fierce. Although the order in the trapped camp was not in disorder, seeing the enemy's reinforcements arriving with great fanfare, their morale could not help but be slightly lowered.
Gao Shun frowned: Now that the enemy reinforcements have arrived and the Huguan city gate is open, it is impossible to defend Huguan with the thousands of men under his command.
Since such a lofty warrior broke his wrist, he shouted: "Don't mess up the formation, the whole army retreats slowly, abandon Huguan!"
"promise!"
Although Gao Shun gave the order to retreat, the trapped camp was still not in chaos. The front row was still fighting with the dead soldiers who first climbed up, while the trapped camp in the back slowly retreated.
More than 500 soldiers from the trapped camp were seen slowly retreating under the command of Gao Shun, and the morale of those who died first was greatly boosted.
"Kill! Chase them."
"Yes, let them stay here forever."
"Stop the pursuit!"
Qu Yi frowned: "Sweep the Hu Pass and welcome General Yan Liang and the reinforcements to enter the pass. No one is allowed to pursue the enemy privately, otherwise he will be killed on the spot."
"No." After hearing Qu Yi's order, Xiandeng Shishi was a little puzzled, but he still obeyed the order obediently. After all, Qu Yi has always been true to his word. No matter how much he values an elite soldier, if he dares to disobey orders, he will be killed mercilessly on the spot to maintain military discipline.
Qu Yi led the remaining 800 soldiers who died first to climb into Huguan. He immediately changed the general flag with the character "Lü" on the city wall to the general flag with the character "Yuan". The bodies of the soldiers and those trapped in the camp were buried on the spot.
At this time, the long and undulating dragon outside the pass finally arrived under Huguan. The leader is a fierce general wearing black armor with ape-like arms and wasp waist. It is Yan Liang, the number one general under Yuan Shao's command.
"Qu Yi solved it quickly enough." Yan Liang sneered, turned to his army and said: "The entire army enters the pass."
A total of 20,000 elite Jizhou troops, led by Yan Liang, entered Huguan and settled down individually. Yan Liang, on the other hand, went straight to the closed barracks to look for Qu Yi.
"Qu Yi, why don't you pursue the retreating enemy?"
As soon as Yan Liang saw Qu Yi, he immediately asked dissatisfiedly.
"It turns out to be General Yan." Qu Yi said bluntly: "The enemy general is Gao Shun under Lu Bu's command. His camp is well-deserved and powerful. He cannot stay even if he pursues him. Therefore, he did not Ordered the pursuit, but waited for General Yan to arrive."
Yan Liang sneered: "Even Gongsun Zan's White Horse Yi Cong was defeated by your first-death warriors, and the mere 700 trapped camp couldn't be taken down. Could it be that you are passive and sabotaging and have some conspiracy?"
Qu Yi had an arrogant personality and spoke carelessly. In addition, he was from Xiliang and was not on good terms with any faction under Yuan Shao's account. Therefore, his relationship with the army was not good, so Yan Liang came to deliberately find fault. However, Yan Liang did not believe in the fighting power of the 700-trapped camp. How strong could a mere 700 people be, no matter how strong they were?
Qu Yi frowned: "Gao Shun's military use has the essence of Sun Tzu's Immovable Mountain. The victory or defeat between me and him is about the same. If General Yan feels that someone is passive and sabotaging his work,"
"Gao Shun led his troops to retreat for only a few quarters of an hour. If he mobilized his cavalry to pursue forcefully, he might be able to catch up tonight." Qu Yi sneered and said, "If General Yan can't trust me, he can lead his troops to pursue me. I wish you all the best here." General Yan is ready to win."
Yan Liang snorted: "The night is blurry, and using troops in the field is a dangerous way. A famous general will not fight an uncertain battle, how can I take risks?"
"I'm going to rest, please ask General Yan to go out."
Yan Liang snorted: "Qu Yi, don't forget that a certain person is the commander of the troops this time."
"Yes, General Yan."
Yan Liang glanced at Qu Yi dissatisfied, then walked out with his hands behind his back. The Army Sima who was watching on the side advised: "General, we are originally from Xiliang. Mr. Yuan thinks he is from a noble family and looks down on us. You should calm down your temper and please the two generals Yan Wen or Yuan Tu." , Zhengnan and other gentlemen, why should we conflict with them?"
"Shut up!" Qu Yi said angrily: "As a general, you should move forward bravely, work hard to make achievements to gain the trust of your lord, and please others in order to be promoted. Isn't this the right way?"
Sima sighed: "General, I know, but do you think it will work with Mr. Yuan?"
Qu Yi was silent for a while, then Army Sima suddenly said: "Most of the general's subordinates are from Liangzhou, so why not wait for me?"
