I should marry the traitor

Chapter 71 Divine soldiers descend from heaven
Is Yuan Mochu crazy? Of course not, it’s just that this action is too crazy.

But madness and genius are often only half a step away. If Yuan Shao's strategic plan succeeds, it will be a magic move to bring a company back to life.

Of course, Yuan Shao is not a person who likes to take risks, and she had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure.

If you open the map of Jizhou, you can easily see that the road from Wei County to Zhongshan County is flat, and the cavalry can march straight in.

Although there are several cities along the way, they have no strategic significance.

They are neither located in strategic locations nor have sufficient garrisons stationed there. Even if the Western Liang cavalry bypasses these cities and leaves these small cities behind, they cannot pose any threat to the Western Liang army.

Besides, can they really hold it? The largest Weijun city has been lost, and these small cities along the way are giving face to Yuan Mochu if they don't surrender.

Therefore, Zhongshan County cannot be kept, no matter how many reasons there are for not giving it up, no matter how reluctant we are to give it up, we cannot keep Zhongshan County.

The Beishuo Army has shown no signs of food shortage so far, and Yuan Shao doesn't dare to bet on when An Xinlin will withdraw his troops.

Yuan Shao had no accurate information on how many Xiliang cavalrymen had arrived in the south. The only thing she could be sure of was that as long as Dong Bai decided to continue his advance...

Three days? No, within two days at most, the Xiliang cavalry will be at the gates of the city.

With the Beishuo Cavalry in the north and the Xiliang Cavalry in the south, facing the two strongest forces in the world at the same time, even if Yuan Mochu is the role model of the universe, she cannot hold on.

What's more, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry is different from the Beishuo Army. They must have sufficient food and logistics for this expedition. Even if a large army surrounded them, Yuan Shao could be trapped to death in Zhongshan County.

Therefore, no matter how you consider it, giving up Zhongshan County is inevitable.

Yuan Shao thought it through clearly. The best option now was to retreat to Bohai County, join forces with Zhang Qingge, and take advantage of the terrain to wait for an opportunity to act.

As for Zhongshan County, it was a piece of meat thrown away by Yuan Shao.

No matter whether An Xinlin or Dong Bai swallows the piece of meat in the end, there will inevitably be some damage in the competition between the two.

And now, Yuan Shao is very clear that her biggest advantage lies in the information gap. She knows clearly that Weijun has been lost, but An Xinlin does not know.

Speed ​​is of the essence in war. She must leave the city at night and escape to Bohai County before An Xinlin can react.

Although Bohai County still has 25,000 Northern Di troops, it has been proven that they are not elite and are far inferior to the 20,000 troops led by the Origami King himself.

There is no danger, it's even just a piece of meat. If An Xinlin didn't react fast enough, Yuan Mochu might be able to eat these 25,000 miscellaneous soldiers to make up for some of the losses.

In fact, Yuan Mochu's decision was very successful. When the scouts from Beishuo brought the news back and passed it to An Xinlin, Yuan Shao's army had already left the city.

An Xinlin was faced with two problems. One was whether to take over the vacant Zhongshan County City. The other was that it would take a long time to prepare the army and horses.

After all, it is late at night and the soldiers and horses are asleep. It takes a long time to wake them up and prepare to set off. Otherwise, there would not be so many classic cases of night attacks.

For this reason, An Xinlin made a decisive decision that Zhongshan County City must be taken. No matter why Yuan Shao made such an outrageous decision, the goal that he had painstakingly planned was right in front of him, and An Xinlin had no reason to give up this city.

She decided to let King Origami lead the remaining Northern Di infantry to take over Zhongshan County City. If there were any traps in the city, let the Northern Di people step on them first.

What's more, the Northern Di were all infantry, and they were of no use in pursuing Yuan Shao's army which had already run far away.

As for whether the Origami King would occupy the city alone, An Xinlin had never thought about it. If the Origami King really dared to do such a thing, An Xinlin would immediately turn around and return to Beishuo, leaving this isolated army here to die.

An Xinlin first selected 10,000 cavalrymen who were prepared quickly, and then set off in the direction where Yuan Shao fled. Yuan Shao fled with preparations, and An Xinlin knew that her 10,000 cavalrymen could not cause too much damage to Yuan Shao, but she could not let Yuan Shao go too smoothly.

After all, Yuan Shao fled to Bohai County, where a part of the Northern Di army was stationed.

An Xinlin had to at least make sure that Yuan Shao fled into Bohai County in a panic instead of marching leisurely, and that he could also spare some time to join forces with the defenders of Bohai County to wipe out the Origami King's troops.

The light cavalry and fast horses were still much faster than Yuan Shao's army, and An Xinlin still caught up with Yuan Shao with his speed advantage.

However, the two sides did not fight each other, and they tacitly maintained a situation acceptable to both sides.

Although there is no definite news, An Xinlin still has some guesses about the reason why Yuan Shao retreated.

Since Yuan Shao had already retreated to Bohai County, she was not willing to fight to the death with Yuan Shao. Although she had an outrageous advantage in field battles, Yuan Shao had 50,000 troops after all.

The chase lasted all night until dawn. An Xinlin followed Yuan Shao closely and harassed her non-stop, methodically eating up the small number of troops that Yuan Shao used to guard the rear.

But that’s where it ends.

An Xinlin chased all the way across the river and watched Yuan Shao enter the territory of Bohai County. She drove Yuan Shao's troops towards the direction of Bohai County City and did not chase them anymore.

What An Xinlin has to do now is to join forces with the Beidi Army in Bohai County and bring this part of the Origami King's combat-capable troops back to Zhongshan County City.

However, An Xinlin's vision was beautiful, but not everything in this world can go as planned.

It's not possible to just take advantage and leave.

Suddenly, a large number of ships appeared on the river and went upstream. Above the ships were hung large flags with the word "Zhang" on them, announcing that the people coming were none other than Yuan Shao's capable general - Zhang Qingge!

"Hahahaha!"

"Hahahahahaha!"

"I knew that Zhang Qingge was a man of strategy and tactics, and his tactics were unpredictable. I can trust him, and he didn't disappoint me!"

Looking at Zhang Qingge coming along the river, Yuan Shao was ecstatic. Anyone would feel uncomfortable being chased and bitten all the way.

Even if one is mentally prepared to have some of his men eaten, there will definitely still be some anger in one's heart.

But Zhang Qingge arrived, and the fleet had already appeared in sight. Even if they went upstream, there was still time to intercept some of An Xinlin's cavalry.

If that's the case, then fight!

Yuan Shao made a prompt decision.

The reason why they didn't fight back before was, of course, because An Xinlin was a cavalryman who could move like the wind on the plains, and the Beishuo army was only harassing from the outside and would not rush in at all.

Because he couldn't catch his opponent, Yuan Shao had no choice but to suffer the beating in silence.

But now that she can make dumplings out of some of your people, Yuan Shao won't be polite.

She wants to take another piece of An Xinlin's flesh!
