Invincible from the beginning of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 439 Harassment from the rear, Xun You wants to run

Sun Guan walked over slowly.

I have been out on patrol for four hours, and I am a little tired, so I sit on the horse without paying attention.

The soldiers are also relatively tired, but the tasks that should be completed have to be completed.

At this time, they don't know that danger is approaching them.

The three teams have been lying there for a long time.

The squad leader whispered a word of preparation, and made a gesture with a small gesture.

Immediately, the soldiers in ambush slowly raised their crossbows.

"put."

Suddenly, the squad leader yelled.

Soldiers fired bows and crossbows one after another.

More than a dozen people shot at Sun Guan at the same time.

Sun Guan was shocked and turned around when he heard the movement.

But what he saw was fear.

A dozen arrows flew over.

It was too late to dodge, and he was hit by arrows immediately.

"Quick retreat, shield cover."

Shoot Sun Guan, and before the enemy fully reacts, they evacuate quickly.

The men in ambush began to retreat, running up the hill.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack."

At this time Cao Jun soldiers reacted.

However, when they came out to patrol, they brought limited archers.

"Quick, archers attack, attack."

After nearly a minute passed, a teenager came out and shouted to fight back.

Sun Guan is dead, and there are no other generals under him.

When going out to patrol, one general is enough, and there are young generals similar to centurions to assist.

Finally, arrows began to attack, but the people were no longer in the original ambush.

Cao Jun's reaction was correct. When someone was attacked, they would get down and hide.

Then get up and fight back.

As a result, the enemy only killed one person, only their generals.

"Quick, there are not many enemies, ordinary people go after them."

Hundreds of people were assigned to pursue, and the special forces had already retreated.

When they chased up, another round of arrows was shot from above, killing more than a dozen of them.

They only have bows and arrows, not crossbows.

Bows and arrows are almost useless in the woods.

Bows and arrows are not very easy to use, and there are obstacles everywhere in the woods.

After chasing for a while, to no avail, they withdrew.

Sun Guan was killed, and they had no choice but to carry Sun Guan's body back.

In the middle of the night, when Lu Bu received the news, he kept a dark face and said nothing.

Sun Guan has been his general for many years and one of the eight strong generals.

At this time, Lu Bu's subordinates could make him trust less and less.

The previous two betrayed him and surrendered to Cao Cao, causing the city gate to be opened.

Gao Shun surrendered, Sun Guan died, and now Lu Bu relied most on Zhang Liao and Zang Ba.

Lu Bu's face was gloomy, but he didn't say anything.

After the soldiers had gone, he sat alone sulking.

A general was killed just like that, a little unclear.

Now, Lu Bu has no way to vent his anger on Sun Guan.

Lu Bu called Zhang Liao.

"Wen Yuan, I will deal with Zhang Ming's attack in the front, and you will handle the patrolling in the rear, and I will leave it to you."

"Yes, General."

Zhang Liao left, Lu Bu missed Chen Gong a little.

Back then when they cooperated with Chen Gong, the two had many quarrels, and they often disagreed.

But with Chen Gong here, he can help him deal with many things, and can help solve many things.

He has surrendered to Cao Cao now, but everything is still not going his way.

The battle continued.

The special squad doesn't know who they killed, but it doesn't matter, they just need to know that they killed a general.

As for the rank of the general, they don't care.

The special team evacuated safely, very happy.

They began to plan their next move.

The next morning, they received information that a food delivery team was coming.

The team leader was also Song Chen who suggested attacking the general before.

Song Chen said: "There aren't many enemies on patrol. We might as well attack their food transport team and burn their food and grass. The enemy will definitely pay attention to it. Sending more people will give us more chances to strike."

Another team leader said: "That's the truth, but the enemy has hundreds of people, we can count them as much as we want, and we won't burn many of them, and if we let the lord know that we have suffered casualties in order to collect food and grass, we will definitely not be able to cover them."

The value of a special soldier is very high, Zhang Ming does not allow them to take risks casually.

"In this way, we will attack their generals and wait for an opportunity to burn some. As long as the enemy feels threatened, they will send more troops."

Song Chen's proposal made others agree.

"Okay, then let's go to the rear for some gasoline, they still have some left."

The three agreed, and the layout began.

They have to calculate the speed of the enemy and predict when and where they will pass.

They have long been familiar with this area, and calculated, the difference may be a few miles.

A few miles, it has little effect on them.

At this point, each team has an overall map.

After Zhang Ming and the others compiled the maps in the rear, they re-made the maps and distributed them to the teams.

Each team continued to investigate, and a major update was made in a few days, and the latest map was sent to them.

This required Zhang Ming to train a team specializing in making maps. At this time, there were more than 30 people accompanying the army, all of whom were very professional.

After the three people decided, they began to prepare.

This is a small grain transport team, only a few hundred people.

Cao Jun arranged this way, even if he was burned, they didn't feel bad.

In the afternoon, the teams are ready and ready to start.

This time they were in ambush on both sides.

Everything is ready.

The food transport team is coming slowly.

This food road is still safe, and they walked it a few times.

Although it is difficult to walk along the road, their goal is small and they have always been safe.

"Prepare."

Song Chen kept staring at the enemy and entered the ambush circle.

"attack."

On patrol, many stones were pushed down in front, blocking the road.

At the same time, many ambush crossbowmen began to shoot and kill important targets.

Such as generals or commanders.

There are no generals in this team, but some small commanders and the like.

The enemy was attacked and suddenly became chaotic.

"Throw."

They threw many bottles and smashed them on the grain and grass.

These are filled with gasoline, and the bottle will break if you drop it.

"Fire the rocket."

The soldiers ignited the rockets with lighters and began to attack.

Before long, many grain trucks caught fire.

"Keep firing arrows."

This time, it was the army that killed and wounded the enemy.

After firing several rounds of arrows in a row, Song Chen saw that the flames had grown.

"retreat."

This attack, about 10 minutes before and after, killed more than 100 enemies and burned half of their food and grass.

Attack them with gasoline, and when the fire comes up, they are very difficult to put out.

After burning the food and grass, Song Chen and the others quickly evacuated without entanglement with them.

Not much food and grass were burned this time, but there must be some impact.

Lu Bu received the news a few hours later that he had handed over the matter to Zhang Liao, and he also sent a letter to Cao Ren.

Cao Ren was injured and had not received good treatment. He often suffered from headaches and was unable to handle military affairs.

This is a big question.

Lu Bu was very negative at the moment, and when he handed over the matter to his subordinates, he would just ask a little bit, regardless of the specifics.

Now, when he encounters any problems, he reports them to Cao Ren. If Cao Ren has any specific instructions, he will hand them over to his subordinates.

One day passed, Song Chen and the others attacked three times, two successes and one failure.

Only a few of them were injured and no one died.

Progressing well.

Song Chen sent the report to the rear every day.

And the rear sent someone to deliver it to Zhang Ming once every two days. Unless there was something important that needed to be sent immediately, it would be two days.

Zhang Ming received the message from the front.

"Well, it's time to harass and force the enemy to withdraw. I can't afford it, and neither can the enemy."

"Zilong, you personally lead the special squad to wreak havoc in the rear, and you can take risks when necessary.

"Unless the enemy can send tens of thousands of troops to protect this grain road, the mountains will be dominated by our special forces."

"In addition, reward Song Chen and the team leaders, and give them credit after the battle is over."

"Okay, brother, I'll do it now."

When Zhao Yun went to the rear to command, Xun You came.

He succeeded Cao Ren.

"General Cao, you can rest assured to go to the rear to cultivate."

Cao Ren nodded, and then said, "Thank you, I have some things to explain."

Cao Ren was seriously ill, plus he was dealing with military affairs and couldn't rest well, so he was already very weak at this time.

Xun You came, and the order was passed on to all the troops.

When Lu Bu received the news, he said disdainfully, "Can changing the situation change the situation?"

Cao Ren's sudden departure had a great impact on the people below.

Xun You is an important adviser to Cao Cao, but he has never actually led soldiers and lacks prestige.

Xun You has just arrived and is still familiar with military affairs.

At this time, in the rear, hundreds of special forces began to wreak havoc.

"Report to the military division, a general of our army was shot."

"Report to the military division that a grain transportation team of our army was attacked and lost hundreds of stones of grain and grass."

"Report to the military division, a partial general of our army was killed, and more than 130 soldiers were lost."

One day, more than a dozen pieces of bad news came, which dealt a heavy blow to Xun You, who had just taken office.

In the rear, Zhao Yun spread out the teams and harassed them in a very long range.

This also caused a lot of casualties to Cao Jun, with more than 600 casualties a day.

Many of them were military officers, and although only two generals died, their positions were not very high.

But dozens of officers around centurions died.

This is also a big blow to Cao Jun.

Zhao Yun continued to attack everywhere.

Xun You went to find Lu Bu himself, because Lu Bu's army was responsible for this.

"Marquis Wen, the enemy is rampant, we should design an ambush to attack their arrogance." Xun You discussed with Lu Bu.

Lu Bu's face was black.

He was very upset that all his people died.

If so many of his lower-level officers die, the combat effectiveness of the army will drop rapidly.

The most important thing is that over the years, Lu Bu's direct lineage has suffered too many deaths and injuries. Now there are more than 1 real direct lineages, and Lu Bu is very upset if a few people die.

"Okay, I will immediately arrange for people to ambush the enemy."

Lu Bu responded, but he didn't take it seriously in his heart.

He also knew that Zhang Liao had deployed many times, but the special squad always evacuated after a few minutes.

They don't care about the outcome of the battle, as long as they attack, they will retreat regardless of the outcome of the battle.

In the mountains, attacks with bows and arrows have almost no effect.

Zhang Liao tried to ambush several times, but the enemy refused to rush down to fight them.

And it was useless for them to pursue.

On the mountain road, how could ordinary soldiers chase after the special forces, not to mention that these special forces were supported by others and blocked by others.

Zhang Liao has tried many methods, if it is in other places, it is easy to guard against.

But on this mountain road, it is completely useless.

It is unrealistic to deploy and control the whole section of the road, and there are not enough manpower.

After chasing it several times, I didn't meet anyone's shadow, so I lost a lot.

Xun You left.

Lu Bu didn't take it seriously.

Although he is passive, he still loves his subordinates. If it is not really helpless, Lu Bu can go up in person.

Special forces are too difficult to deal with in the mountains.

With such a long mountain road, they could haunt anywhere.

These ordinary soldiers have no way to defend themselves.

A large number of officers were killed and wounded, and Lu Bu was actually very annoyed.

But he had no choice. Judging from Zhang Liao's report, this was an elite army specializing in sneak attacks.

"Whoever wants to go will go, Lao Tzu's soldiers don't want to go and die in vain."

Lu Bu didn't do nothing, at least let Zhang Liao find a way.

Zhang Liao could only get more shields, and the generals wore the clothes of ordinary soldiers.

In this way, the casualties of officers were greatly reduced.

Zhang Ming's army didn't know who those officers were, so they could only be random.

Zhang Liao also tried to send people into the mountain to search, but the people who entered the mountain suffered heavy losses.

"What an untouchable army."

"I don't know how many of them there are until now."

Zhang Liao had never fought such a useless battle, and he was full of anger.

Now, although the casualties of officers have come down, their food and grass are still frequently attacked.

That unknown liquid can instantly ignite a fire.

The efficiency of food transportation has been greatly reduced, and the occasional harassment has greatly affected the morale of the army.

At this time, on the frontal battlefield, Zhang Ming did not go to war, but sent troops every day to put on a show.

Put pressure on the enemy.

Choosing a mountainous area to block Zhang Ming is a good flag. If you fight head-on, Zhang Ming may not be able to fight for several years.

However, the disturbance from the rear at this time made Cao Jun face great difficulties.

For several days, there was no progress, and Xun You was very difficult to deal with.

"It was attacked more than 20 times yesterday, a lot of food was burned, and more than 400 people were killed or injured."

"Today, there have been more than 30 attacks, more than 700 people have been killed and injured, and more than 100 vehicles of food and grass have been burned."

Xun You looked at the reported figures and was very angry.

"Military advisor, Lu Bu is slack, why not send other troops to attack and let Lu Bu change his defense." A general said.

"No, changing defense at this time, Lu Bu will definitely be dissatisfied, which will only increase the risk."

Xun You was still very cautious towards Lu Bu.

"In this way, our military rations have been threatened. Although not much was burned, one-fifth of it was burned in one day."

If this goes on for a long time, there will definitely be a big problem.

At this time, they had already changed their commanders and generals, and there were too many uncontrollable things.

If Lu Bu is dissatisfied, he will turn against them.

Xun You said: "This battle is unsustainable, I will immediately write a book to the lord."

"Strictly keep it secret, guard carefully, and never let the soldiers know."

After making some assessments, Xun You felt that if it continued, quantitative changes would lead to qualitative changes, and the army might be at risk of collapsing.

Xun You felt that he should retreat slowly, resist steadily, and delay Zhang Ming's footsteps.
