Chapter 386 Re-enforcement
"Because General Han was killed by the enemy generals, his 20,000 spearmen under his command were not taken for a period of time, so the casualties were extremely heavy. Later, although General Yang rectified them and joined them with the next 10,000 knives and shield soldiers, they were besieged and killed because General Yang could not capture the enemy's rear battle, and that army was almost completely destroyed. After the statistics just now, the number of swords and shield soldiers who escaped was about 6,000, while the spearmen lost almost half of them, with more than 10,000 casualties. As for General Liu's cavalry, there were also more than 3,000 casualties. Bai Bolis suffered 800 casualties, and the bow and crossbow casualties were 200.
"Hmm, hum~~! That is to say, my soldiers and horses have lost nearly 20,000 people!!!"
Guo was furious and laughed. In this battle, he lost 20,000 soldiers and horses, as well as his beloved general. Guo Da's laughter was cold and looked crazy, and the general Bai Bo, who was present, was worried.
"Lord Tianshi, although we and the Baibotian army were defeated in today's battle, it was not useless to lose. You can see the power of Bai Bolishi's bravery. If it hadn't been for the insidious white-robed general of the Hedong Army, he would have attacked Lord Tianshi. It is very likely that in today's battle, we will win the Baibo Tianjun.
Tomorrow, Lord Tianshi can watch the battle in the city, hand over the command to General Liu, and then equip General Liu with heavy troops to prevent the young general in white robes from attacking again, so that we can win the victory!!"
Yang Feng suddenly took a step forward. He was the only general among the Baibo generals who was not depressed, but his face was full of excitement and hatred. He and Han Yu are in love with each other. Now that Han Yu is dead, he is like a biological brother, and his heart is no less sad than Guo Da.
"No!! Master, Jinyang City is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The city is ten feet high, and there are moats on all four gates. It can be said that it is a copper wall and iron wall, as solid as gold.
Now the morale is low, and we can't attack rashly. On the contrary, we should defend the city and consume the troops in Hedong. Although our army suffered 20,000 casualties in the First World War today, the casualties of the Hedong Army will not be low.
At this time, the strength of our heavenly army is still more than that of the Hedong Army. In this way, there is the strong city of Jinyang. If the Hedong Army attacks Jinyang City, its strength will be quickly consumed. When it consumes seventy-eight, Lord Tianshi will send the whole army to attack again, and he will definitely kill and retreat the Hedong army!"
Liu Pi hurried out and persuaded Guo Da with an excited expression. Guo Da frowned and thought about the words of Yang Feng and Liu Pi in his heart, and seemed to be hesitant for a moment.
"General Liu, did you forget that Dingxiang's battle situation is urgent? The Pingyang army of Zhangyang, together with the three soldiers and horses of Xihe, Wuyuan and Shuofang, has a total strength of 30,000. The strength exceeded that of the 20,000 Baibotian army left in Dingxiang. I don't know when Zhang Yang's old man will break through Dingxiang and lead the army to besiege Jinyang. Now if you don't seize the opportunity to fight to the death with the Hedong Army, when will it be?"
"General Yang's words are really alarmist. Although Dingxiang's war was urgent, he did not reach the point of frowning. If we mess up, wouldn't it be self-destruction!"
"Hmm, I think General Liu can only say sarcastic things. Wen is extraordinary, cunning and insidious. I think 70% of the reason why he will fight today is the unknown situation of Dingxiang.
If he learns that he will besieged and not attack, he will only pester the Baibotian Army in Jinyang. Wait for the old man Zhang Yang to have enough time to defeat the Baibotian Army in Dingxiang, and then besiege Jinyang with him!"
Yang Feng and Liu Pi quarreled in the hall. Guo Da, who was originally irritable, became more and more confused, and his whole head seemed to be blocked.
"Noise!! Shut up!!!"
Guo Da suddenly drank, and suddenly Yang Feng and Liu Pi stopped. Guo Da's face was uncertain, and his face was extremely ugly. At this time, all the Baibo generals turned their eyes to him and waited for his choice.
"Han Yu has just died, and today the Tianjun has been defeated for a while. It is not appropriate to send troops to fight immediately. According to my order, the whole army rested for three days and strengthen the defenses of Jinyang City. It's attack or defense. After three days, I will make a decision!"
Guo Da closed his eyes and said slowly. Hearing this, Yang Feng couldn't help but change his expression and opened his mouth.
"Tianshi!!"
"Shut up!! Yang Feng, I know that you and Han Yu are brothers and eager to revenge. But you are an army general, and you can't be overwhelmed by anger. This is the decision! Don't talk too much! Well, I need to be quiet to think about how to repel the Hedong Army. You all step back!"
Guo Da said majestically in an irresistible tone. Yang Feng shouted a few words and stared at Liu Pi fiercely, but Liu Pi turned a blind eye.
Then, a group of Baibo generals left the hall one after another. Guo Da slowly opened his eyes, and his face became ferocious and terrible in an instant. He muttered three words over and over again.
Text! No! Fan!
In the middle of the night, in Wen Han's tent.
"Master, there is something I don't understand. This Jinyang City is the seat of Bingzhou and the largest city in Bingzhou. Its wall is ten feet high and there is a moat, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Why did the white wave thief retreat secondly and take the initiative to attack instead?
At this time, Xilong was in Wen Han's account, discussing countermeasures with Wen Han. After listening to this, Wen Han's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Wait! Zhicai, today, Guo Da set up a plunder battle and dispatched nearly 50,000 troops. According to the information we have previously grasped, there can't be so many soldiers and horses in Jinyang City. Could it be that Guo Da drew troops from Dingxiang's front!?"
Xilong's face was stunned, and suddenly there was ecstasy on his face.
"That's right! It must be so! In this way, Zhang Gong's military strength in Dingxiang is more than that of the Baibo thief army. With Zhang Gong's ability, the current situation in Dingxiang must be very good!"
As soon as Xilong's voice fell, there was a rapid horseshoe sound outside Wenhan's tent, and then a scout in Pingyang military uniform, under the leadership of two Hedong sergeants, hurried to Wenhan's tent to see him.
"Report! Lord, a secret letter from Zhang Taishou in Pingyang!"
Wen Han and Xi Long looked at each other, and both of them looked surprised.
"Come on! There is also Haosheng arranging for the brother under Zhang Gong to rest and not to be neglected!"
"Yes! The villain will arrange it immediately.
After saying that the Hedong soldier outside the tent said, he took the Pingyang scout and left. Another Hedong soldier walked into the tent, handed the secret letter to Wen Han, and then left.
Wen Han couldn't wait to open the envelope and stared at it. The more he looked at it, the more happy he became. Finally, he laughed.
"Lord, what is written in this letter? Has Zhang Gong defeated Dingxiang's Baibo thief army!?"
"What Zhicai guessed, although it is not right, it is not far away. Guo Da really pulled away 20,000 thieves from Dingxiang. Now Zhang Gong's army has surrounded Dingxiang's white wave thief army in Shan Wucheng, and can capture Shan Wucheng in less than half a month.
Zhang Gong specially sent a letter to me, asking me not to rush to attack Jinyang. When he broke through the line, he led the army and our Hedong Army to besiege Jinyang back and forth!"
"Haha. In this way, the Baibo thief army has no power to turn the sky. At present, as long as the master pesters the white wave thief in Jinyang City, he can't help him. But..."
The play laughed loudly, but halfway through, he seemed to think of something, and his face suddenly sank. Wen Han was shocked when he saw the play and frowned unconsciously.
"But what? If you have something to say, just say it directly!"
"Hey! However, in this way, the master makes wedding clothes for others. If Zhang Gong's soldiers and horses come and annihilate the white wave thieves, Taiyuan County will definitely fall back into the hands of Zhang Gong.
Moreover, there must be a war in Jinyang City, and there will be no thieves in Bingzhou. Zhang will definitely be on guard against the master. In this way, the lord spent a painstaking expedition to Bingzhou, and finally got only Shangdang County.
Taiyuan County is the county seat of Bingzhou, with a large population, far more than the other seven counties, and it is a place of outstanding celebrities in Taiyuan. One Taiyuan county is as important as ten Shangdang counties. Therefore, if Wen Han wants to get Bingzhou, then Taiyuan County is bound to win! For Zhang Yang, it was the same. If he wanted to recover Bingzhou, Taiyuan County would not allow losses, so he was hesitant to send troops to rescue Dingxiang and look forward to the future.
"Let's have a wedding dress. In today's World War, the Hedong Army lost 7,000 troops, and now there are only 20,000 troops left. On the other hand, there are nearly 30,000 thieves in Jinyang City. Moreover, Jinyang City is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If the Hedong Army attacks Jinyang, even if it captures Jinyang, it will be a tragic victory. At that time, the remaining soldiers and horses will not be more than half.
And at that time, Zhang Gong led the army to come. If we are understaffed, we can't say that a Taiyuan county or even Shangdang County is not guaranteed. I can discuss the matter of Bingzhou from a long-term plan, and let's see it now.
Wen Han is also helpless about this. Although the law of the jungle is an iron rule that will never change in troubled times, once Wen Han's ambition to be exposed, he will bow his head in reason. Zhang Yang can take this opportunity to attack Wen Han in reason and gather an army to fight with Wen Han's soldiers and horses. After all, Zhang Yang is the old general of Ding Yuan, the former governor of Bingzhou. It is reasonable for him to recover Bingzhou. No matter how much the people of Bingzhou love and support Wen Han, Wen Han is an outsider after all.
Xi Long heard the helplessness in Wen Han's words. After meditating for a while, he comforted him.
"But the master doesn't have to be discouraged. Now the Baibo thieves in Jinyang City have been forced into a desperate situation. Long thought that they would never sit back and wait for death. As long as they can't calm down and are anxious, they will be confused. They will definitely lead the troops to attack. At present, we should plan ahead and come up with a plan to hit the white wave thief army, and even take Jinyang City!"
"Zhicai's words are very true, so I will seize the time to think about this countermeasure. I hope the white wave thief in Jinyang City can make some action before Zhang Gong's army comes.
After Wen Han nodded heavily, he began to discuss with Xilong. However, even if they negotiate countermeasures, it will not change their current passive posture. Unless the Baibo thief in Jinyang City really can't stand to attack, no matter how good the countermeasures discussed by Xilong and Wen Han are, they are useless.
In the next few days, the Hedong Army did not attack, and the Baibo Thief Army in Jinyang City did not fight again. However, in Hedong Yingzhai. Wen Han and Xi Long were busy. They kept wandering around the generals of the original Baibo thieves who had newly joined the Hedong Army. They didn't know what they were secretly discussing with.
