At noon, the army and the reinforcements from the north camped together. The army, which had effectively run out of food, began to use the supplies from the reinforcements from the north, uniformly allocated equipment, and began to re-count combatants. The leaders and the leaders of the reinforcements also began to discuss the military situation.

As for the Sentinel Cavalry, I can only say that it has never been interrupted.

In the morning, the Sentinel Cavalry came to report that the main force of the army had not been seen within a radius of 20 to 30 miles. It was determined that Xue Changxiong's troops were heading east, Luo Shu's troops were heading north, Feng Wuyi, Wang Chenkuo's troops were heading northwest, and Han Yingong

The troops headed west, while Bai Hengqiu's Taiyuan army headed southeast.

This is certainly good news.

However, at noon, a piece of bad news also came... Li Ding must have returned to Wu'an yesterday, but he was not alone. He actually brought back part of the Wu'an army and gathered it at the Black Emperor Grand Temple in Wu'an County.

"There are more than 20,000 people in the Wu'an Army. Let's assume that there are more than 10,000 in Li Ding's hands. There is also a master second only to the Grandmaster, and more than three people can condense the pills..." Ma Wei blurted out.

It is necessary to memorize the possible strength of the Wu'an Army and the configuration of the practitioners.

"It's not easy!" Xu Shiying, who was sitting on a mud nest with a sword at the foot of the mud mountain, interrupted Ma Wei directly. "Actually, no matter how you calculate it, the Wu'an Army's book strength is not as good as our troops after the merger, but the comparison between the two sides

There are four key points below... First, the Wu'an Army is not a sectarian army. The army has a neat lineup, effective personnel, and is well-trained; second, the Wu'an Army mostly comes from Wu'an, and Xiangguo has two

The county, as well as the people of Hongshan Mountain, are considered local battles; thirdly, Black Emperor Grand View is a large military camp, not a city, but is better than a city, and is regarded as a defense; fourthly, in this battle, they have not participated in a single battle before, so they are considered a new force."

Not only the reinforcements from the north, but also everyone else suddenly realized that this is the problem. With the personnel well-trained and well-trained, the casualties of the soldiers and generals are scattered; with the unity of the local people, the sources of the guest troops are mixed; with the equipment and fortifications of the defense are complete, the deficiencies of the attack are countered.

There was little equipment and food; the fresh army was exhausted after being besieged for several months.

You must know that after all, it is humans who fight the war. Once various unfavorable factors are added to humans, many things will become difficult.

Not to mention the sergeant below, in this case, it is very likely that many so-called masters will not be able to hold on anymore. The masters of condensation pills will be shot down by crossbows, and the probability of a warrior who has fought a hundred battles will be killed by a single knife is greatly increased.

To put it bluntly, it's not worth fighting at this time.

"Then we won't fight?" Zhang Gongshen interrupted and asked, "Go to northern Shanxi first?"

"No, I mean, we can't draw a conclusion yet." Xu Shiying shook his head again. "In any case, you can catch someone by surprise, and surprise may have a big effect, especially in this battlefield situation.

In a situation that has changed drastically... Third Brother has made it very clear before that the best result is to suddenly return to the army, surround the Wu'an Army with a force and posture that Li Ding cannot understand, and force them to surrender; secondly, if this does not work,

We can also force the Wu'an army to shrink, and then we turn east and escape from the original battlefield back to the plains, so that we don't have to make a big circle; the worst is to escape again and go through northern Shanxi... And now, we can be sure

What is surprising is that the Wu'an Army has taken the initiative to shrink to one point, but we don't know the military situation further south. It would be troublesome if there are Dongdu Army or Taiyuan Army waiting in the south."

"It's unlikely. They should have almost run out of food at that time." Ma Wei shook his head, but immediately denied himself. "But how can we guess this kind of thing?"

Everyone was in a daze for a moment.

"I'm going to go!" At this moment, Wang Wulang suddenly withdrew his gaze from Xu Dalang and spoke proactively. It was obvious that he didn't care much about Xu Dalang at first. Wang Wulang suddenly noticed something. "I'm going to go to the south.

, come back before dark..."

"It's better that I go." Wu Dalang intercepted the other party. "I'll go there, I'm fast."

"All go." Xu Shiying directly ordered. "Wu Dalang went to the south of the Wu'an Army, Wang Wulang went to the old battlefield in the southeast, and another... leader Jia Da went to Hongshan in the southwest... to confirm that the Wu'an Army was a lone army that had just broken away from the coalition forces.

, we can try to return to the teacher!"

On the one hand, everyone woke up, but on the other hand, they felt uncomfortable with Xu Dalang's initiative and direct orders, especially the young leaders. However, this time was really an emergency, and they had no time to care, but they all looked at him.

Zhang Xing.

Several leaders of the northern reinforcements did not speak at this time, and just came to see Zhang Xing... Some things are self-evident. They are also experienced people. Of course they can detect some of the atmosphere and what behind it, but they feel a little relieved.

"As I said before, Xu Dalang is in charge of military affairs. King Xiongtian and I will do it according to his strategy without interrupting." Zhang Xing immediately became the boss and supporter. "Just do as he said! The others continued to check the troops.

, Gather the defeated troops!"

"Be sure to send enough cavalry to block the news and control the enemy's sentry cavalry." Xu Shiying immediately added. "I would like to borrow General Yuchi's new troops. Please lead the team yourself!"

Yuchi Qilang didn't have that much thought. After receiving the order at this time, he cheered up and the rest of the people were also ordered to go about their work.

In the afternoon of that day, when the sun was still shining, the three people who went out to investigate the news returned one after another and brought precise information.

"There is no ambush in Hongshan." Jia Yue said concisely and to the point.

"The Dongdu Army has collapsed. The Taiyuan Army is gathering troops all the way to the south. It seems that they want to take advantage of the situation to attack Li Longtou. I have no resources and it is probably too late to notify." Wu Dalang was obviously a little anxious.

"Have you ever gone to Black Emperor Grand View?" Ma Wei interjected and asked.

"No, I don't dare to expose it." Wu Dalang replied immediately.

"That's good."

"There is no one on the battlefield, except for a few Wuyang County civilians and local people who are picking up the remaining military supplies. It is almost empty." Wang Wulang waited for the two of them to finish speaking before reporting to Zhang Xing, but he looked hesitant.

"There is no problem if there is no ambush in Hongshan." Xu Shiying, who was sitting next to Zhang Xing, frowned. "It is a big problem for the Taiyuan army to turn around and attack Li Longtou. It is a big problem, but we are beyond our reach, and it is precisely because they want to

Fight, we should take the opportunity to do something to alert them... But what is going on on the battlefield? Why is no one locking this opening? "

"Is it because the Dongdu army collapsed too quickly? No one cared about it?" Wu Dalang guessed.

"Then there's Cui Tuan... He doesn't send anyone to maintain it? Bai Hengqiu must have given instructions before he left, right? And everyone else can say that Cui Tuan is tantamount to betrayal this time. He knows that we can't tolerate him, how could it be possible?

Don't you care?!" Ma Wei retorted.

"He himself may not feel that he is a traitor." Cui Suchen responded in a low voice. "But he must also know that we will not let him go."

"It should be Mrs. Cao and that Han Erlang." Cheng Zhili suddenly interrupted. "I remember that when we came here, Wei Gong and the others were talking. It seemed that Han Erlang, who had just been promoted to leader, was originally from Gaojibo, so Manager Dou insisted that they let him

Mrs. Cao personally went over to coordinate, led Han Erlang and Xu Kai to open a battalion, crossed the Qingzhang River, and came to Gaojibo. Cui Tuang was attacked behind him, so he might not dare to move... Besides, Li Silang gathered the Wu'an army to

One place is good for his own family, but it is unreasonable for Cui Tuan."

Everyone present understood.

However, this understanding is destined to be at different levels.

The reinforcements from the north probably understood that the gang was powerful, and there were many layers of support from outside. There were many soldiers and horses involved in the scattered coalition forces from the outside, making it difficult for these coalition forces to move after they dispersed; and the army

Zhong Zeduo knew what was going on with Han Erlang, and couldn't help but feel emotional. A deputy commander of the field, who was not well-educated, led a group of field soldiers to block three waves of attacks, so that the battle did not spread.

Then he actually killed a Ningdan, and now he has taken notice of a grandmaster?!

Of course, there are some people who, although they are surprised, actually feel that this is indeed the case.

To put it bluntly, Su Jingfang and the others informed Han Erlang of the relevant incident when they came in. Although they had no time to think about it because of the serious military situation, it would make sense if they were forced to think about it now... Han Erlang's state is certainly

It's hard to find, but since it appears, it means that the heaven and the earth are all working together, and it is the destiny of the earth. At this time, Han Erlang is afraid that even the king of heaven will take a high look...not to mention Han Erlang himself.

He is a native of Qinghe, and Grandmaster Cui Tuan is also based in Qinghe. The mutual influence between them is by no means a simple master vs. inflow.

After Cao Shancheng's death, Qinghe County experienced a complete reversal. The differences between people's hearts and earth's atmosphere actually formed a faint contrast between these two people.

It's also interesting.

In addition, there are some things that are inconvenient to say, but a few senior executives also know. For example, Cheng Zhili informed several senior executives when he arrived last night. Wei Xuanding personally took people to Wuyang, Chen Bin, and Dou Lide supervised Zhai Qian.

The news that Xiahou Ningyuan and other main forces were preparing to besiege Qutuda in Yi County seemed insignificant at this time.

Because it cannot have a direct impact on the main force that the army is currently breaking out of.

The battle situation is very chaotic, and the information is completely asymmetric. Now this hastily united force only needs to do its best.

"Now that the information is clear, can we go back?" Wang Wulang urged helplessly as he saw Xu Dalang leading the military strategy.

Xu Dalang, who was particularly active today, surprisingly did not make a conclusion, but looked at Zhang Xing: "I think we can go to Wu'an."

"Then go back and surround Wu'an." Zhang Xing did not hesitate.

"How many people do we have now?" Xu Dalang got the idea and immediately asked Ma Wei again.

"Ten thousand people. Niu Da and Wang Xiongdan gathered a lot of people in the surrounding area, but there are no less than two thousand injured..." Ma Wei reported immediately.

Even though he had been prepared for it, Zhang Xing still felt nervous when he heard this final figure... After all, the two battalions of Xu Shiying and Zhou Xingfan had circled back. In other words, this was probably the final surviving figure of the main force of the besieged army.

The actual reduction in staff reached nearly one-third.

Chief Zhang's heart tightened, but Xu Shiying looked at the chief's uncle without changing his expression: "General Huang, are there five thousand cavalry of the Northern Shanxi and Northern Allied Forces?"

"Yes." Huang Ping replied calmly. "Actually, there was some scattering on the road. I guess four thousand five hundred and sixty is still enough."

Xu Shiying paused, glanced at Xiong Bonan and immediately made the final plan: "In this case, what I mean is to leave all the wounded and let them wait here, and the rest will sort out 12,000 cavalrymen."

, set off at dark, head south at night, and go straight to the Black Emperor Temple in Wu'an County, to fight back!"

Everyone was awestruck, but Xiong Bonan was about to nod but thought of something, and quickly asked: "No, it would be easy if we return without success or force Li Ding to surrender. If we take the opportunity to turn and escape back to the plains, the wounded here will be injured again."

What should I do?”

The others also reacted and couldn't help but feel nervous.

Xu Dalang smiled and answered frankly: "Dalu Ze is on the border of Xiangguo County and Zhao County. To the north is Zhao County where Feng Wuyi is located, and to the south is Li Ding's Wu'an Army. If we really escape from the south by taking advantage of the opportunity,

Li Ding is the first to bear the brunt, Feng Wuyi is weak, and both are wavering, how dare he come to specifically hunt down our wounded soldiers?"

Xiong Bonan fell silent for a moment.

Zhou Xingfan was the first to agree: "That's the truth. If you escape, Li Ding will be afraid, but we will be safe."

Xiao Zhou opened his mouth, and the others nodded.

Xiong Bonan was a little bit difficult: "At this time, we really shouldn't blame everyone, but if there is an emergency, we should ask them to go as far north as possible, and there must be some precautions."

"When that time comes, let General Yuchi lead the troops back and escort them north." Xu Shiying gave a compromise plan.

King Xiongtian thought for a while and had no choice but to nod.
To be continued...
