Chapter 1091: Return from a Fiasco

Hearing Wang Qi's loud voice, Wei Guan's face changed drastically, and he stepped forward and said, "Governor Wang, what happened? He is like this?"

Wang Qi looked like he was hard to describe, but at this moment, this was not a place to speak. He had to say: "We have fallen into a trap. This battle in Liangxiang is a trap for Cao Liang. Gong Taishou and Liu Taishou have both died in battle. Bingzhou came to rob the city. The guards should hurry up and defend the city."

When Wei Guan heard that Gong Zun and Liu Mao were both killed, he was shocked. After going out this battle, the Youzhou army was indeed defeated and returned. He quickly ordered his troops to enter the city and climb up the city wall to defend. In order to prevent the Bingzhou army from coming to steal the city, a large number of horse-resisting horses were set up outside the city gate, leaving only one passage for the remaining defeated generals of the Youzhou army to escape back to the city.

The entire Youzhou City is ready for battle, as if facing a great enemy. This time Wang Qi returned from a crushing defeat, which immediately made the air in Youzhou City tense. No one knows whether the Bingzhou Army will take advantage of the momentum to attack the city. With the current chaotic situation in Youzhou City, defending the city is worrying.

At present, Youzhou City is not ready to defend the city. Wang Qi was full of confidence and confidence in the battle this time, but unexpectedly he returned in a defeat. The troops originally responsible for defending the city gathered together to go out of the city to pick up Wang Qi. At this time, he suddenly came back. It must be a chaos in order. He rushed to the city to defend, so how could he be fully prepared for the battle?

Wei Guan couldn't help but feel deeply worried. He relied too much on Wang Qi in the military affairs of Youzhou before, and everything was decided by Wang Qi, including this battle. Wang Qi first came out in advance. He originally hoped to boost the morale of the Youzhou army with this great victory, but unexpectedly he returned with great defeat. He also broke the two generals Gong Zun and Liu Mao. You must know that Wei Guan can rely on now. If Gong Zun and Liu Mao died in battle, if they lost their right-hand man, the situation in Youzhou might have become worse than worse.

Wei Guan climbed the city tower and looked south. To the south of Jixian City, there was a vast plain. The cavalry of the Bingzhou Army was already roaring, like a huge wave, sweeping across everything. The Youzhou soldiers who were behind and had no time to escape were like a lonely boat in the vast ocean, and in a blink of an eye, they were swallowed up by the stormy waves.

Wang Qi also climbed to the top of the city. He had previously confronted the Bingzhou army and only knew that the Bingzhou army was extremely powerful and his army was no match for the enemy at all. He could only escape in panic. This time, he stood on the top of the city with a different perspective and could see the power of the Bingzhou army more intuitively. With such a powerful cavalry, who can stop it in the world?

At the same time, Wang Qi was also secretly lucky. Fortunately, he retreated early when he saw that the situation was not good. Otherwise, he would probably end up with Gong Zun and Liu Mao and died tragically among the chaos. The torrent of the Bingzhou Army's cavalry was indeed unstoppable.

Wen Qin took the lead and had already reached the city of Youzhou. However, he did not easily enter the range of the defenders' bows and arrows. The mission of the Knight Camp was successfully completed this time. Siege was not the responsibility of the Knight Camp, not to mention that the defenders were already prepared at this moment. The Knight Camp rushed forward rashly, but only increased casualties.

So Wen Qin ordered the Cavalry Battalion to suspend the attack, and soon Deng Ai and Shi Bao rushed up. The Bingzhou army made great achievements along the way and annihilated many Youzhou army. However, facing the strong and tall Jixian wall, the three of them did not have the idea of ​​stealing the city. After all, the cavalry troops were just kings in the field, and siege was not their strength. After a while, the three of them discussed it and immediately stopped when they saw the good news. Still retreated to Liangxiang, waiting for Cao Liang to lead the subsequent infantry corps to arrive.

The Bingzhou army came like a rising tide, the mountains roared and the sea were thundering, and the momentum was imminent, and it was like a retreating tide. In an instant, it left cleanly.

Seeing the Bingzhou army retreating, Wei Guan and Wang Qi both breathed a sigh of relief. The pressure brought to them by the Bingzhou army was too great. If the Bingzhou army took advantage of the situation to attack the city, with their current chaotic defense, it would be really unstoppable whether Youzhou City can be saved.

Fortunately, the Bingzhou army only chased their defeated soldiers all the way and had no intention of siegeing the city, so Youzhou City is still safe for the time being.

But this kind of security is only temporary after all. If the Bingzhou army's cavalry team does not attack the city, it does not mean that the Bingzhou army will not attack the city. When Cao Liang leads the Bingzhou army's infantry and cavalry to arrive, it will probably be their doomsday.

Wang Qi looked at the number of people and his face turned pale. This time he brought a total of 30,000 cavalrymen, but in the end he brought back only 10,000 people with zero digits. In other words, this time, the Youzhou Army lost at least 20,000 people, three stops and two stops, which was a bit huge.

During the chaos, Wang Qi couldn't figure out how many people he had lost. According to his estimate, he might have been close to half. If he really lost half of the people, it would be enough for him to feel pain. But after counting points, he found that the loss was even greater than he expected. Wang Qi couldn't help but lament that this battle was really badly defeated!

The men led by Gong Zun and Liu Mao were first attacked by the Bingzhou army, so these two armies were almost wiped out, and there were not many survivors. Even Gong Zun and Liu Mao were both killed in battle, which shows how tragic the battle was at that time.

Wang Qi ran away quickly when he saw that the situation was not good, but despite this, nearly half of the troops were still lost. The Bingzhou army's combat power was terrifying, and its speed was beyond reach. If it weren't for the people behind Wang Qi and the others' backs, these more than 10,000 people might not have been able to escape back.

Thinking about the battle situation at that time, Wang Qi was still scared. If he had not judged the situation and retreated decisively, he would have been afraid that the entire army would be destroyed.

Wang Qi has experienced many battles, and this is the first time he has fought such a crushing defeat. What's more important is that the battle of Liangxiang has lost so many troops and suffered such heavy losses. Next, Bingzhou Army will attack again, so how can they deal with it?

Although the city of Ji County is tall enough and the food and grass reserves are worry-free for the time being, the key is that Ji County is just an isolated city, and the lonely city cannot be guarded is the minimum principle of military strategy. If Ji County is surrounded, it will fall sooner or later.

Originally, Wang Qi was counting on a big victory to boost the morale of the Youzhou army, but this time it was a good thing. He returned from a crushing defeat. Instead, his morale was even more sluggish. Moreover, the more than 20,000 people lost were all elite main forces, which made the defense power of Youzhou City much thinner. It seemed that his position as the governor of Youzhou was not hot yet, so he needed to move the place again.
