"Is there any news on the Qing Province Cavalry and Bo Hai Cavalry?"
In the Eastern Peace City's Three Prefectures Inner City, Han Dai was playing with a jade tablet in her hand as she asked a soldier. If one looked closely, they would notice that this jade tablet was Yang Rui's identity token. Because Yang Rui had left in a hurry and both of them were drunk, neither Han Dai nor Yang Rui thought about returning the token.
Fortunately, the token in the game was only a symbol of one's identity. It was equivalent to a higher level name card. The holder could not use this token to exercise Yang Rui's authority.
"Reporting to General Han, according to the news sent back today, Lieyang Province's Prefecture Overseer has already led his troops to bypass Lecheng Province and continue to head south. Yan Liang and Wen Chou's cavalry should not have received the news yet. The two of them passed by Nanpi Province almost at the same time and are heading straight for Pingshu City in the east!
However, this is news from a day ago. At this time, the exact whereabouts of Yang Rui and Yuan Shao's cavalry are not clear. After all, it takes two to three days to transmit the news and today's news has not been sent back yet … "
Before he could finish speaking, a messenger soldier had already rushed in. It seemed like there was another urgent military report. Han Dai had ordered that if there was an urgent military report, there was no need to send a message. They could just come and report directly to her.
"Reporting to General Han, Yuan Shao's generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou have led 40000 cavalry to the northeast of Canghu Ting City. At the same time, they have brought along tens of thousands of infantry. Their target is Eastern Peace City. General, please make a decision quickly!"
Just as Han Dai and the general had expected, the messenger had indeed delivered an urgent military report. Moreover, this report was a huge crisis for Eastern Peace City. Yan Liang and Wen Chou were originally very valiant. Even if their cavalry was not very suitable for sieging a city, the intention of the two of them bringing along the infantry was very obvious.
After hearing this news, the general in front of Han Dai immediately panicked. He looked in the direction of Han Dai.
Canhu Ting City was located not far south of Eastern Ping Shu City. It was a small city at the border between Hejian County and Bohai County. Although it was not a county level city, it was located at the intersection of Han Fu and Yuan Shao. Currently, Yan Liang and Wen Chou's army had already passed this city. This meant that they would only need a little more than a day to reach Eastern Ping Shu City.
Yan Liang and Wen Chou were obviously here for the Lieyang Province Governor and his cavalry. However, the Qing Province Cavalry had already retreated. To a large extent, the forces commanded by Yan Liang and Wen Chou would attack the Eastern Peace City's defenders! Yuan Shao's troops had lost tens of thousands of soldiers when they attacked the city. If they couldn't find their master, the Bohai Sea troops would most likely seek revenge for their defeat to Han Dai!
"Order all soldiers to prepare to defend the city!"
Although Han Dai's subordinate appeared to be very flustered, as the commander, Han Dai was still very calm. This was not easy for a woman who had just reached her prime. Furthermore, after the conflict with Yuan Shao's troops at Eastern Ping Shu City, she had also received a lot of pressure from the Han Fu Corporation. Many of Han Fu's subordinates felt that it was unwise to take the initiative to provoke Yuan Shao.
However, Han Dai maintained her calm. In her opinion, the battle at Eastern Ping Shu City was not only a victory against Yuan Shao, but also a victory for her father, Han Fu, to set up a clear banner and remove the worry of Han Fu's own hesitation.
Therefore, Han Fu had long been aware of the arrival of Yan Liang and Wen Chou's army. Even if the other party did not come to intercept Blazing Sun's cavalry, there would be a day when she would directly meet the other party on the battlefield.
Han Dai was even prepared to give up her life! This could be seen clearly from the battle at Eastern Ping Shu City. In fact, there were still many people in the Han Fu Corporation who wanted to compromise with Yuan Shao. These people might still be a big hidden danger in the future. And if Han Dai was trapped under the iron hooves of Yuan Shao's troops, that kind of hatred should be enough to make Han Fu even more determined.
Therefore, Han Dai was not afraid at all! This was the determination hidden deep in the heart of a 15 year old girl who had just reached her prime! Some people were like this. Just a simple experience was enough to make them mature enough. It should be known that not long ago, Han Dai was still a very naughty young lady …
"Maybe there's still a chance?"
After the envoy went to inform the soldiers to prepare to defend the city, Han Dai once again played with the jade waist token in her hand and softly muttered to herself.
~~~~~
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
“.....”
In fact, the day before Han Dai faced the threat of Yuan Shao's army attacking the city, Yang Rui had already arrived at the area near the plains in the southwest of Bohai County. With lightning speed, he caught Yuan Shao's Dong Guang City defenders off guard.
At the current stage of the game, information transmission was indeed very lagging. However, it was also because of this that Yang Rui easily avoided Yan Liang and Wen Chou's cavalry and dared to take down Dong Guang City again!
Yang Rui originally wanted to take advantage of the absence of Yan Liang, Wen Chou and their powerful cavalry – Hebei Cavalry. He wanted to take the opportunity to lift the siege of Yuan Shao's Ping Shu City, but in the end, he still took down Dong Guang City first. The cavalry had a big speed advantage and was not much slower than the speed of information transmission. So even if Yang Rui made a lot of noise in Dong Guang City, there was no need to worry that Yuan Shao could respond in time.
However, after taking down Dong Guang City, Yang Rui did not stay for long. He immediately led the cavalry to the Ping Shu Prefecture. At this time, Yang Rui's cavalry was only three days away from Ping Shu City.
On the afternoon of the next day, Yang Rui and his cavalry had already entered the territory of Pingyuan County. In the next two days of the game, they had consecutively reclaimed two counties in the north of Pingyuan County. Like a sharp sword, they charged straight at Yuan Shao's troops who were besieging Pingyuan City!
In the process, Yang Rui also noticed that the number of scouts on the way to Ping Shu Prefecture had suddenly increased by a lot compared to before. Yuan Shao should have received some news about the return of Yang Rui's cavalry. So Yang Rui no longer worried about being exposed. At night, he once again used the cooperation talisman and rode on the flying carpet with Zhang Ning to look for opportunities.
In the face of Zhang Ning's Heavenly Fire Rain skill, Yuan Shao had been on guard since the first few attacks. However, no matter how tight the defense was, there would still be loopholes. What's more, Yang Rui and Zhang Ning had not used this skill for a long time. That night, Yuan Shao's camp was once again ravaged by the Heavenly Fire Rain skill!
Although Yuan Shao's troops had arranged for archers to disrupt Zhang Ning's casting, they still suffered a lot of losses at the beginning. Later on, Yuan Shao's troops managed to stabilize their formation in time. Even though Yang Rui's flying carpet was constantly changing directions, he still felt the threat of Yuan Shao's archers. Yuan Shao's troops seemed to be very good at long range positioning. No matter which direction Yang Rui charged in, there would be arrows flying in his direction!
Under such circumstances, Yang Rui retreated in time to prevent Zhang Ning and himself from being accidentally hurt. Actually, sneak attacks weren't that important anymore. It was enough to create some pressure and panic on the enemy. Yang Rui had shaken off Yan Liang and Wen Chou's Hebei cavalry. After leading the cavalry back, he had already formed an alliance with Yuan Shao from both inside and outside. Thinking about it, breaking through Yuan Shao's encirclement wouldn't be a difficult task.
"Lord Alliance Leader, the enemy is very strong. We have also suffered a lot of losses in the previous attack. The morale of the troops is wavering. Guo Jia thinks that we should temporarily retreat to Bohai Sea and stabilize the rear before making other plans!"
Due to the large scale harassment from Zhang Ning's Heavenly Fire Rain skill in the middle of the night, Yuan Shao and his strategists were all at their wits' end in the camp. Just when everyone was at their wit's end, a young strategist sitting below stood up and said.
This strategist's appearance could be said to be very handsome. He wore a white scholarly robe that made him look even more elegant. Between his brows, there was an unconcealable intelligence that couldn't be hidden. It was just that he looked a little young, around 20 years old. This person was actually Guo Jia!
Hearing Guo Jia's words, Yuan Shao looked over. For a moment, he was actually a little hesitant. Guo Jia had only recently joined his camp because of his reputation. Back then, when he saw that Guo Jia was young, he didn't pay too much attention to him and only listened to him.
Ever since Yuan Shao became the Alliance Leader of the Vassal Anti-Dong Alliance, many people had come to join him. For example, when Yang Rui, as the Vice Alliance Leader, attracted Wu Anguo, Yuan Shao actually received the loyalty of a powerful person like Guo Jia. It was just that he didn't pay too much attention to Guo Jia at the time.
However, when Yang Rui and Zhang Ning attacked just now, it was Guo Jia who set up a formation for Yuan Shao's long-range archers. This prevented Yuan Shao's camp from suffering more losses. Thus, Yuan Shao didn't make a rash decision regarding Guo Jia's suggestion.
In fact, Yuan Shao had brought many strategists and subordinates with him. However, ever since Yan Liang and Wen Chou led the 40000 Hebei Heavy Cavalry back to Bohai Prefecture, Yuan Shao hadn't made any progress in besieging Pingyuan City. In fact, he had lost many soldiers and even had the tendency of being counterattacked by the defenders in the city. It was also because of Guo Jia's arrival that he was able to stabilize the situation.
If it was just once, it would be considered a coincidence. However, Guo Jia had saved Yuan Shao's losses twice in a row, which naturally attracted Yuan Shao's attention. It was just that Yuan Shao still couldn't accept the fact that he had to withdraw his troops in vain.
In fact, when Guo Jia first joined Yuan Shao's camp, he had tried to persuade him to withdraw his troops. He also said that there was a powerful person in Pingyuan City who was deliberately using the advantage of the city to harass and exhaust Yuan Shao's troops. However, at that time, how could Yuan Shao listen to him?
Moreover, Guo Jia was just a young newcomer at that time and couldn't persuade Yuan Shao. Now that Guo Jia had consecutively made contributions, the situation was different. Yuan Shao could no longer ignore Guo Jia's existence and suggestions.
"Organize the troops and prepare to retreat tomorrow!"
