Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    "Because General Han was killed by an enemy general, the 20,000 spearmen under his command were left unattended for a period of time, so the casualties were extremely heavy. Although General Yang later reorganized them and combined them with the 10,000 sword and shield troops under his command,  One place, but later because General Yang failed to capture the enemy's rear formation, he was surrounded and killed. That army was almost wiped out. According to the statistics just now, the number of casualties among the escaped sword and shield soldiers was about 6,000.  The remaining men, 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 among the Bai Boli soldiers and 200 casualties among the crossbowmen."

    "Hehehehe~~! In other words, my troops and horses have lost nearly 20,000 people!!!"

    Guo Da was furious and laughed. In this battle, he lost 20,000 soldiers and horses, as well as one of his favorite generals.  Guo Da's laughter was cold and almost crazy, which made General Bai Bo present feel heartbroken.

    "Master Celestial Master, although our Baibo Heavenly Army was defeated in today's battle, it was not completely defeated. Everyone has seen the bravery of the Baibo Army. If it hadn't been for the insidious white-robed young general of the Hedong Army who attacked the Heavenly Master later.  People. It is very likely that we and the Baibo Tianjun will win today¡¯s battle.

    Tomorrow, the Heavenly Master can watch the battle on the city, hand over the command to General Liu, and equip General Liu with heavy troops to prevent the white-robed young general from attacking again, so that we and the Baibo Heavenly Army can be sure of victory!  !  "

    Yang Feng suddenly took a step forward. Among all the Baibo generals, he was the only one who was not dejected, but whose face was full of excitement and hatred.  He and Han Ye were brothers and sisters, and now that Han Ye died, it was as if he had lost a real brother, and he felt no less sad and resentful than Guo Da.

    "No! Master Tianshi, Jinyang City is easy to defend but difficult to attack. The city is ten feet high, and there are moats on all four sides of the city gates. It can be said that it is a copper wall and an iron wall, as strong as gold.

    Now that the morale of the generals is low, we cannot attack rashly.  Instead, we should defend the city and consume the troops east of Hedong.  Although our army suffered 20,000 casualties in today's battle, the Hedong Army's casualties will not be low either.

    At this time, the strength of our Heavenly Army must still exceed that of the Hedong Army. With the strong city of Jinyang, if the Hedong Army attacks Jinyang City, its strength will be quickly depleted.  When seven or eight of them are consumed, Lord Tianshi will send out his entire army to attack, and he will definitely be able to defeat the Hedong Army!  "

    Liu Pi hurriedly walked out and persuaded Guo Da excitedly.  Guo Da frowned, thinking about what Yang Feng and Liu Pi said, and seemed hesitant for a moment.

    "General Liu, have you forgotten that the war situation in Dingxiang is urgent? Old man Zhang Yang's Pingyang army plus Xihe, Wuyuan, and Shuofang troops have a total strength of 30,000. The strength exceeds that of those left behind in Dingxiang.  The 20,000 Baibo Heavenly Army. I don¡¯t know when that old man Zhang Yang will break through Dingxiang and lead the army to besiege Jinyang. If we don¡¯t seize the opportunity now, how long will it take to fight to the death with the Hedong Army?¡±

    "General Yang's words are really alarmist. Although the war situation in Dingxiang is urgent, it is not urgent. If we mess up our position, we will be destroying ourselves!"

    "Humph, I think General Liu only speaks sarcastically. Wen Bufan is cunning and insidious. I think the reason why he accepted the battle today is because he did not know the situation of Dingxiang.

    If he had known about it, he would have laid siege instead of attacking, and would have only entangled the Baibo Heavenly Army in Jinyang. After that old man Zhang Yang had enough time to defeat the Baibo Heavenly Army in Dingxiang, he would then besiege Jinyang with them!  "

    Yang Feng and Liu Pi were arguing in the main hall, and they started arguing with jealousy. Guo Da, who was already irritable, became more and more confused as he listened, and his whole head seemed to be blocked.

    ¡°You¡¯re noisy!! Shut up, I¡¯m sorry!!!¡±

    Guo Da suddenly drank, and Yang Feng and Liu Pi stopped immediately.  Guo Da's face was full of uncertainty and his expression was extremely ugly. At this time, all the Baibo generals turned their attention to him, waiting for his decision.

    "Han Yu has just died. The Heavenly Army has been defeated again today. It is not appropriate to send out troops to fight immediately. I have ordered the entire army to rest for three days and strengthen the defense of Jinyang City. Attack or defend. After three days, I will do it again.  Decide!"

    Guo Da closed his eyes and said slowly.  When Yang Feng heard this, his expression changed and he opened his mouth.

    "Heavenly Master!!"

    "Shut up!! Yang Feng, I know that you and Han Ye are brothers and are eager for revenge. But you are a general of an army, and you should not be blinded by anger. Let this matter be decided! No more words! Okay,  I need some peace and quiet to think about how to repel this Hedong Army. Please retreat!"

    Guo Da said majestically in a tone that showed no resistance.  Yang Feng took a few deep breaths and glared at Liu Pi fiercely, but Liu Pi turned a blind eye.

    And then, a group of Baibo generals left the hall one after another.  Guo Da slowly opened his eyes, his expression instantly became ferocious and terrifying, and he murmured the same three words over and over again.

    arts!  No!  Fan!

    It¡¯s late at night,In Wenhan's tent.

    "My lord, there is something I don't understand. This Jinyang City is the administrative seat of Bingzhou and the largest city in Bingzhou. Its walls are ten feet high and there is a moat, which makes it easy to defend but difficult to attack. Why did the Baibo bandit retreat to the second place?  Take the initiative to attack?¡±

    At this time, Xilong was in Wenhan's tent, discussing countermeasures with Wenhan.  After hearing this, Wenhan's eyes suddenly lit up.

    "Wait a minute! Zhicai, Guo Da arranged a battle today and dispatched nearly 50,000 troops. Judging from the intelligence we had previously grasped, it is impossible for Jinyang City to still have so many troops. Could it be that Guo Da  The troops were drawn from Dingxiang¡¯s front!¡±

    Xilong¡¯s face was startled, and a look of ecstasy suddenly appeared on his face.

    "That's right! That must be the case! In this way, Zhang Gong's military strength in Dingxiang will exceed that of Bai Bo's bandit army. With Zhang Gong's ability, the current battle situation in Dingxiang must be very good!"

    And just as Xilong finished speaking, there was a rush of horse hoofbeats outside Wenhan's tent, and then a scout in Pingyang military uniform, led by two Hedong sergeants, hurriedly came outside Wenhan's tent to ask for a meeting.

    "Report! My lord, Prefect Zhang of Pingyang asked someone to send a secret letter!"

    Wenhan and Xilong looked at each other with surprise on their faces.

    "Come here quickly! There is still a chance to arrange for the brother under Zhang Gong to rest, so don't neglect it!"

    "Yes! I will make arrangements immediately."

    After saying that, the Hedong soldier outside the tent took the Pingyang scout and left. Another Hedong soldier walked into the tent, handed the secret letter to Wen Han, and then left.

    Wenhan couldn't wait to open the envelope and read it attentively. The more he looked at it, the happier his face became, and finally he burst into laughter.

    "My lord, what is written in this letter? Has Duke Zhang defeated the Bai Bo bandit army in Dingxiang!?"

    "As Zhicai guessed, even if he missed the mark, he was not far off. Guo Da indeed detached 20,000 bandit troops from Dingxiang. Now Zhang Gong's army has surrounded Dingxiang's Baibo bandit army in Shanwu City and cannot leave.  Shanwu City can be captured in half a month.

    Duke Zhang specially sent a message, asking us not to attack Jinyang in a hurry. After he defeats Shanwu, he will lead the army and attack Jinyang from front to back with our Hedong Army!  "

    "Haha. In this way, the Baibo bandit army will no longer have the power to change the world. Now the Lord only needs to entangle the Baibo bandits in Jinyang City so that they cannot return to aid Shanwu. But"

    Xilong laughed loudly, but midway through his words, he seemed to have thought of something, and his face suddenly darkened.  Seeing Xilong's surprise, Wenhan frowned and said.

    "But what? Zhicai, if you have something to say, just say it!"

    "Hey! But in this case, the lord is making a wedding dress for others. If Duke Zhang's troops arrive and annihilate the Baibo bandits, Taiyuan County will definitely fall into Duke Zhang's hands again.

    "And the war in Jinyang City is certain, and there are no more thieves in Bingzhou, so Duke Zhang will definitely be on guard against his lord."  In this way, the lord spent a lot of effort on the expedition to merge the states, but in the end he only got one Shangdang County.  "

    Taiyuan County is a county in Bingzhou. Its population is much larger than that of the other seven counties. It is also the place where famous people come out of Taiyuan.  One Taiyuan county is as important as ten Shangdang counties.  Therefore, if Wenhan wants to obtain Bingzhou, then Taiyuan County is bound to win!  For Zhang Yang, the same was true. If he wanted to regain Bingzhou, Taiyuan County could not afford to lose, so he was hesitant to send troops to rescue Dingxiang in the first place and looked forward and backward.

    "Let's get married. In today's battle, the Hedong Army lost 7,000 soldiers and horses, and now it only has 20,000 remaining troops. On the other hand, there are nearly 30,000 bandits in Jinyang City. Moreover, Jinyang City is easy to defend and difficult to attack.  , if the Hedong Army storms Jinyang, even if it captures Jinyang, it will be a miserable victory, and I am afraid that there will not be more than half of the remaining troops.

    By then, Duke Zhang came with his army.  We are short of troops, not to mention Taiyuan County or even Shangdang County.  We can take a long-term view on the matter of merging the state, and we can take steps now.  "

    Wenhan was also helpless about this. Although the law of the jungle was an unchangeable iron rule in troubled times, once Wenhan's ambition to merge the state was revealed, he would lose his moral integrity.  Zhang Yang could use this to attack Wen Han morally and gather a large army to fight against Wen Han's troops.  After all, Zhang Yang was an old general of Ding Yuan, the former governor of Bingzhou. He regained Bingzhou out of emotion and reason.  No matter how much the people of Bingzhou loved and supported Wenhan, Wenhan was an outsider after all.

    Xilong heard the helplessness in Wenhan's words, and after pondering for a while, he comforted him.

    "But there is no need to be discouraged, my lord. Now that the Baibo thieves in Jinyang City have been forced into a desperate situation, Long thought that they will never sit still and wait for death. As long as they can't calm down and become anxious, they will definitely lead troops to attack. Now we are waiting for the response  Prepare for a rainy day and come up with a plan that can defeat this white wave bandit army and even capture Jinyang City.??Maybe!  "

    "What Zhicai said is true, so let us seize the time to think of this countermeasure. I hope the Baibo thieves in Jinyang City can take action before Zhang Gong's army arrives."

    After Wenhan nodded solemnly, he began to discuss with Xilong.  However, even if they discuss countermeasures, it will not change their current passive posture.  Unless the Baibo thieves in Jinyang City really can't bear it anymore and attack, no matter how clever the countermeasures Xilong and Wenhan came up with, it will be useless.

    In the next few days, the Hedong Army did not attack, and the Baibo bandits in Jinyang City did not attack again.  However, in Hedong Yingzhai.  However, Wen Han and Xi Long were very busy. They kept wandering around the generals of the former Bai Bo bandits who had newly joined the Hedong Army, and they did not know what they were secretly discussing with them.
