"Fight with me!" Liu Rui said without hesitation after hearing their report.

Liu Rui knew very well that in addition to the [-] cavalry troops under him still had combat strength, the more than [-] troops of Gongsun Zan who had just been recruited had lost their minds and had no combat strength.Now he has to boost his morale with a victory.

Liu Rui rode his own Wanli Yanyun Zhao, holding the Zhenwu Panlong Halberd, and led Li Jing, Yan Gang, Qiao Feng and the three thousand cavalry he had brought to the front.

"Haosheng, it's really good to see you again after a long absence in Luoyang!" Yuan Shao said with a smile, and when he saw that there were only thousands of cavalry behind Liu Rui, he felt a lot more at ease.

Liu Rui sneered and said, "Yuan Benchu, why do you have to be so pretentious? If you want war, I will give you war, so let's go!"

"Haosheng's bravery is unparalleled in the world, how can my generals be your opponents?" Yuan Shao said with a smile.Although this was a blow to morale, Yuan Shao did not dare to send his generals to fight Liu Rui alone.

Liu Rui put his legs on the horse's belly, and waved the Zhenwu Panlong Halberd in his hand, and rushed towards the camp of Yuan Shao's army.Yuan Shao hurriedly retreated into the formation when he saw Liu Rui rushing up.

"Fleet the arrows! Release the arrows!" Yuan Shao knew that Liu Rui's martial arts were unparalleled in the world. If he got close to him, no one in his army could really stop him.

But he didn't expect Liu Rui's warhorse to be too fast. His bow and crossbowmen had just arrived, and he still had time to bend the bow and shoot the arrow.Liu Rui had already rushed to the front, and the Zhenwu Panlong Halberd in his hand swept a thousand troops against the bowmen. , , .

212: Three Thousand Cavalry Defeat Yuan Shao

This shot swept away thousands of troops, and directly swept away seven or eight crossbowmen of Yuan Shao's army, tearing Yuan Shao's army out.Liu Rui squeezed his legs together, and Wanli Yanyunzhao who was sitting down rushed into Yuan Shao's army.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry up and stop him!" Yuan Shao kept retreating behind the army camp, while commanding his generals to stop Liu Rui.

In Liu Rui's hand, he was dancing with a dragon and a halberd. Yuan Shao's army had already seen his bravery in front of Hulao Pass, and no one dared to step forward to stop him.

Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang He and several other generals in Yuan Shao's army escorted Yuan Shao back to their camp.Yuan Shao's army of tens of thousands was chased and beaten by Liu Rui with three thousand cavalry.

"Quick, put the horse-rejecting stake on top, close the gate, and let the crossbowmen release their arrows!" Yuan Shao said anxiously after returning to the camp with the generals beside him.

Yan Liang stepped forward and said, "My lord, there are still many people in our army who haven't withdrawn!"

"What if Liu Rui's cavalry rushed in?" Yuan Shao scolded Yan Liang.

Tian Feng on the side said: "My lord, even if Liu Rui is the number one general in the world, can't our army of nearly [-] still be able to stop their thousands of cavalry?"

In Tian Feng's view, the main reason why his tens of thousands of troops would be chased and beaten by Liu Rui's thousands of cavalry was his inner fear.If not, how could they be beaten like this?

Yuan Shao said in a panic, "Yuan Hao, you have never seen how he defeated Lu Bu in front of Hulao Pass!"

"But..." Just when Tian Feng was about to say something, there was a sudden burst of screams from the camp gate, and Liu Rui was already dashing towards him with his Zhenwu Panlong Halberd.

Yuan Shao hurriedly said, "Quickly let go of the horse-rejecting stakes, let go of the arrows!"

The soldiers in the battalion immediately put the horse-rejecting stake in front of the camp gate, and even if there were any soldiers who did not retreat, they blocked them together outside the gate.Then the two rows of crossbowmen held bows and arrows and shot outside the camp, but most of the arrows fell on Yuan Shao's soldiers who were blocked outside the camp.

Seeing this, the soldiers rushed to Liu Rui and his cavalry's horses to disarm and beg for surrender. Liu Rui saw that the effect of attacking Yuan Shao's army and boosting his own morale had already been achieved, and he had only three thousand cavalry and wanted to force it. It is also unrealistic to break through Yuan Shao's camp.

"Come here, bring all these soldiers back!" Liu Rui said loudly with a wave of the Panlong Halberd in his hand.The cavalry behind him stepped forward and drove the surrendering soldiers back to their camp.

Yuan Jun's camp.

Yuan Shao was also secretly relieved when he saw Liu Rui retreating back.Peerless Tangmen www.jueshitangmen.info

Tian Feng, who was behind Yuan Shao, was heartbroken when he saw that his army lost [-] soldiers and horses in this battle.He had never believed that a single general could change the situation on the battlefield. Today, in the battle with Liu Rui's three thousand cavalry, he really believed it.

Yuan Shao's loss in this battle was a heavy one.He was worried that Liu Rui rushed into the camp, and forced the camp door to be closed.Nearly [-] soldiers were isolated from the camp, and these soldiers who had no intention to fight chose to surrender to Liu Rui.In addition to the battle losses, Yuan Shao lost nearly [-] people in this battle.For him, who has a total of [-] troops, it is already considered to be broken.

In the large tent of the Central Army, Yuan Shao looked gloomily at the battle damage submitted by his subordinates and said: "Liu Rui is unparalleled in the world, and his army is even stronger. Now he dares to be so arrogant with thousands of cavalry, he will definitely There are backups. Therefore, I want to lead my troops to retreat to Yecheng to defend, and ask for help from other princes to resist Liu Rui together."

All the advisors and generals under Yuan Shao's tent looked embarrassed.

"What the lord said is very true. Our army is newly defeated and morale has plummeted. Liu Rui's reinforcements are coming soon, we should retreat and retreat to Yecheng!" Tian Feng said helplessly.After the battle with Liu Rui, he already knew Yuan Shao's fear of Liu Rui, and the [-] horses in his hands were already disillusioned.

The rest of the strategists also agreed in favor of withdrawing troops, and Yuan Shao immediately decided to lead his troops back to Yecheng.

Liu Rui's camp.

When Liu Rui returned with his soldiers and horses, the tens of thousands of Gongsun Zan's old men in the camp were all shouting with excitement.They fought against Yuan Shao's army until now, and every time they were beaten, it was themselves.Today, Liu Rui led [-] cavalry to repel the enemy. They could be said to be happier than Liu Rui.

"Li Jing, Yan Gang, the two of you are responsible for relocating the surrendered Yuan Jun, don't let them make any trouble!" Liu Rui explained after returning to the camp.

"No!" Li Jing and Yan Gang saluted.

"My lord, I just got the news that General Zhao's [-] horses will arrive tomorrow morning." Shen Luoyan stepped forward and reported.

Liu Rui nodded and said, "Send the news back and ask Tian Boguang to escort the grain and grass to come here. This time we may not withdraw our troops any time soon!"

"I have already ordered someone to send a letter back!" Shen Luoyan said.

Liu Rui and Shen Luoyan had just arrived in the military tent, Gongsun Zan's mourning hall had been set up, and the mourning seat was placed in the center of the camp.Gongsun Baoyue had already changed into a plain wrap and knelt in front of the spirit.

"Report to the lord, Yuan Jun has withdrawn!" A scout hurried into the tent and knelt in front of Liu Rui and said.

"I see, let's go." Liu Rui was just stunned for a moment and then said.

Regarding Yuan Shao's withdrawal, Liu Rui immediately understood that he wanted to defend the city and compete with himself.This is indeed Yuan Shao's best choice for now. , , .

213: Yuan Shao who retreated to Yecheng overnight

"My lord, Yuan Shao has withdrawn! The last commander asks to pursue him!" Yan Gang excitedly ran to the tent, and Li Jing followed behind him into the tent of the central army.

Before Liu Rui could speak, Li Jing, who was standing beside Yan Gang, had already said, "Master Qi, you must not pursue him at this moment."

"Why, now that Yuan Shao is afraid of being beaten by the lord, we should pursue it while we win!" Yan Gang asked in confusion.

"Yuan Shao's withdrawal was not because he was afraid of being attacked by the lord's troops, but because he was afraid that the lord's reinforcements would arrive at any time, so he withdrew. Not to mention that we could not get any benefits by chasing, I think that Yuan Shao's withdrawal must have been prepared. Prepare. And now our troops and horses are tired." Speaking of this, Li Jing glanced at Yan Gang, and the meaning was self-evident. Although Liu Rui won a big victory today, his morale has improved, but if he took the initiative to pursue He could only rely on the three thousand cavalry that Liu Rui brought.It was obviously very irrational for three thousand cavalry to pursue Yuan Shao's army of tens of thousands.

"The pharmacist is right. Yan Gang, I know that you are anxious to avenge Lord Gongsun. You must know that my mood at this time is the same as yours." Liu Rui reassured Yan Gang and said.
