Huang Long frowned and roared angrily: "How can there be cavalry? Where is Yu Digen? Didn't he swear that Qinshui is isolated and helpless? Where is Guo Daxian? Where are his troops and my elite soldiers?!"
He asked several questions, but no one could answer him. Colonel Zuo bowed his hands to Huang Long and asked in a low voice: "Shuai Huang, what should we do?"
"What should I do?" Huang Long roared angrily: "Ask me, who should I ask? Even Cao Ang appeared on the battlefield. No need to ask, the Huns must have suffered a defeat! Even the Huns have suffered a defeat, we What else can you do?!¡±
Colonel Zuo said in a low voice: "How about we retreat?"
Everyone shook their heads. They paid such a heavy price to conquer Xiangshan Ridge and Yujun Mountain. To retreat without getting any benefits, wouldn¡¯t it be worth the loss! Even if you can't get the food in the military camp, at least you have to go to Qinshui to plunder it.
Huang Long frowned and asked in a low voice: "There is still no news about Guo Daxian? Where are the elite soldiers he leads?"
Colonel Zuo hesitated for a moment and said this time: "Cao Jun claimed to have defeated Guo Daxian's troops in Qinshui County, and Guo Shuai only escaped with his own life. However, maybe they were lying about the military situation"
Huang Long sighed, "The other party should not lie about this kind of news. If they lie, it will be difficult to justify it afterwards. It seems that Cao Jun probably defeated Guo Shuai's troops, but Guo Daxian escaped by chance. Alas!"
Seeing Huang Long and Zuo Xiao sighing, Yu Digen gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "Huang Shuai, Zuo Xiao, I don't think you need to be downcast, we still have hope! Although Cao Jun may have inflicted heavy losses on the Huns, but in the face of the Huns With their fighting power, Cao Jun will not win easily, and will definitely pay a heavy price!
Besides, according to the news I received, Cao Jun has been fighting with the Huns in the past few days. Even if the main force of Cao's army turned to Qinshui immediately after the Huns retreated, it would still take more than two days to march! Although Cao Ang appeared on the battlefield, I estimate that there were not many soldiers and horses coming to help Cao Ang. It was probably just the cavalry! "
Huang Long's eyes lit up and he said in a deep voice: "In other words, we have two days to attack Cao's army? Based on this calculation, we do have hope of defeating the enemy!"
Colonel Zuo shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Having said that, it will take one day for our entire large force to cross Yujun Mountain, and half a day more to rush to Qinshui. This leaves us only half a day to attack. As long as the opponent does not leave the city, as long as we rely on the city wall and mobilize the young people in the city, we will definitely be able to hold on for half a day!"
Huang Long couldn't help but smile bitterly after hearing this, and asked Di Gen, "Yu Shuai, can you put down the Yin Gate Formation again?"
"Yu Digen" means that his beard is intertwined, not his real name. However, for the convenience of addressing each other, the Montenegrin army commanders often use the first letter of the other party's nickname as the last name of the other party.
Yu Digen smiled bitterly: "The Yinmen Formation can only work when the opponent is unprepared. Now that Xu Rong has just suffered the losses of the Yinmen Formation, how can he be deceived?! At that time, Xu Rong only needs to send out the supervising team in advance, and our army will As soon as the Yin Gate Formation is set up, they can shoot those women, and in this way, the Yin Gate Formation will be broken immediately!"
After hearing this, Principal Zuo couldn't help but sigh.
Huang Long slapped himself hard and said angrily: "It's just five hundred cavalry. Look at you like this, don't despair so easily! At this point, we can only burn everything, leave the large troops here, and concentrate all the troops." The elite soldiers of the army captured Qinshui County!"
As the commander-in-chief of this operation of the Montenegrin Army, if the attack fails, Huanglong's reputation will be greatly affected. In this troubled world, reputation means power and strength. No one will take refuge in a useless general who has repeatedly failed in battles! In this case, it¡¯s better to risk everything and give it a try!
However, compared to Huang Long who was determined, Zuo Xiao and Yu Digen were a little hesitant. The two of them were in awe of the famous Cao Ang and did not dare to face the opponent's cavalry directly, and they were even less willing to pay a heavy price to achieve Huanglong's reputation. You know, even if everyone can capture Qinshui, under the pressure of Cao Ang's army, they will most likely have to abandon the city and flee. Even if some loot can be transported from the Qinshui River by then, there will still be too much food to make ends meet!
Seeing Huang Long keeping a close eye on the two of them, Colonel Zuo couldn't help but lower his head, but Yu Digen whispered: "Guo Shuai is missing and his life or death is uncertain. He has left three or four thousand people in Yujun Mountain. He will definitely think about it." We must find a way to avenge him! In that case, why don¡¯t we fulfill their wish and let them fight Cao Jun to the death!"
Hearing what Yu Digen said, Principal Zuo nodded repeatedly. Huang Long couldn't help but frown, but heard Yu Digen continue: "Each of our three families selected 200 people to serve as dubo and chief officers of Guo Shuai's command, commanding the young men to fight Cao Jun."?With generals under their command, they will definitely fight Cao Jun! As long as Cao Jun's mobile troops are eliminated, we will be able to advance and retreat freely, and we will no longer be in such a difficult situation as now! If we are lucky enough to kill Cao Ang, we may even have the possibility of taking over all four areas of Zhi County! "
Colonel Zuo nodded repeatedly: "What Yu Shuai said is absolutely true, and even if the war fails, we will only suffer more than a hundred casualties, and the main force will not be affected. Huang Shuai, just follow Yu Shuai's advice!"
Huang Long nodded lightly and sighed: "I'm just sorry for Guo Shuai Pass the order, and the main force of the entire army will be reorganized on the front line of Yujun Mountain to prepare for the next battle. Two hundred people will be selected from each of our three armies to serve as Guo Shuai's army. First-level officers, including commanders and chiefs, to strengthen their command capabilities. Since Guo Shuai's life or death is uncertain, we must repay the blood debt from Cao Jun on Guo Shuai's behalf. Since Guo Shuai's generals and subordinates have taken the initiative to ask for military service, then we can't let the soldiers be cold. Heart!"
Facing the military pressure from Cao Jun, Huang Long's order was quickly implemented. Six hundred people transferred from the three companies quickly took office, replacing all the first-level officers of Guo Daxian's corps. Although this Wu Commander has a low-level official position, he can control the lowest level of the army. With the major change of team leader, Guo Daxian's army has actually been controlled by Huang Long and three others.
????????????? The officers above the rank of corps commander in Guo Daxian¡¯s army had finally climbed to their current high position, but were suddenly taken away from their official positions. How could they be willing to do so? ! On the surface, everyone frequently vowed to avenge Guo Shuai, but in fact, everyone's hatred for Huang Long and others exceeded Cao Ang.
When the generals sent by Huang Long were not paying attention, Guo Daxian's original generals quietly gathered together.
One of the generals whispered: "At least Cao Ang fought with us with real swords and guns, and did not play any tricks! On the contrary, Huang Long never moved forward bravely when fighting. When it comes to this kind of struggle for power, But I have never been content with others. I am not greedy for power, but I am not worth it for Guo Shuai. He fought bravely for our Montenegrin Army and personally led the army to penetrate behind enemy lines. However, Huanglong and the others actually treated him like this, trying to digest our Guo Army into How could they, Huang Jiajun, be so reasonable?!"
Everyone nodded in agreement, and one person even whispered: "Shuai Guo has always taken the overall situation into consideration. He took the initiative to send troops to sneak into Qinshui River before, and recently he even took the initiative to lead his elite troops to sneak behind Yujun Mountain to sacrifice their lives for our Black Mountain Army. Hot-blooded! But Huanglong has sent someone to take over the command of our army without waiting for Guo Shuai's news. It's really ugly! We have to protect this army for Guo Shuai for no other reason!"
"Easy to say, protect the entire army?" A Du Bo retorted with a sneer: "Right now we have to fight hard with the main force of Cao Jun, and we have to fight hard with Cao Jun's cavalry. Not to mention protecting the entire army, it would be good if we can save our lives!"
The general who spoke first said in a low voice: "Guo Shuai's life or death is uncertain now. He may have been captured by Cao Jun. If we fight against Cao Jun, it will be detrimental to Guo Shuai!"
Everyone nodded. In fact, everyone knew in their hearts that with Guo Daxian's character, he would definitely escape now and would not be captured by Cao's army at all. The reason why I say this is mainly to leave a step for everyone to find an excuse to surrender to Cao Jun.
After some discussion, everyone quickly reached a consensus. After fighting Cao Jun, you cannot advance rashly. If the battle situation falls into a crisis, in order to preserve the troops left behind by Guo Shuai, and in order not to anger Cao Jun and affect Guo Shuai's safety, everyone can put down their weapons and pursue a peaceful compromise.
Although everyone was dismissed from their official positions by Huang Long and others, they still have great influence in the army. They reached a consensus, and so did more than half of the soldiers in the army.
An hour later, Huang Long ordered that Guo Daxian's troops should be the main force to march towards Qinshui County, preparing for a decisive battle with Cao Ang and Xu Rong's troops.
After receiving Huang Long¡¯s order, Guo Daxian¡¯s army immediately set off and strode towards Qinshui City. Soon, Cao Jun's scouts who were monitoring the Black Mountain Army discovered something unusual about the enemy's army and immediately reported the situation to Cao Ang.
On the one hand, Cao Ang ordered Xu Rong and others to strengthen the city defense and organize young men; on the other hand, he personally led the cavalry troops to attack, harassing and flanking the enemy.
Since the Montenegrin Army had no cavalry anyway, Cao Ang ordered all the cavalry to bring bows and arrows from the Qinshui City arsenal and attack the main force of the Montenegrin Army.
The Montenegrin Army discovered that the cavalry was rushing into the formation and quickly formed a defensive formation. However, Cao Jun did not attack recklessly. Instead, he stopped on the flank of the Montenegrin Army, set up his bow and fired arrows, and kept shooting. After the Montenegrin Army transferred archery troops, Cao Jun immediately moved his horse. Retreating would not give the Montenegrin army a chance to counterattack.
If the Montenegrin Army sends a small force to pursue, it will be impossible to return; if the entire Montenegrin Army pursues, Cao Jun will continue to use guerrilla archery tactics to skin the Montenegrin Army.
After only three or four rounds, the morale of Guo Daxian's troops fell to the bottom, and many of the newly appointed generals and commanders were also suppressed by Cao's army.?Shoot. In order to ensure the complete organization of the army, the original officers had to be promoted. Soon, Guo Daxian's unit fell under the control of the original officer corps.
Soon, during a tentative attack by Cao Jun, Guo Daxian¡¯s troops turned against Cao Jun collectively!
