Chapter 729 The winter sparrow is frightened

Xu Fei looked at the dust in the distance in the direction of Wu Wei's finger, only to see that the dust covered the sky and the sun, and at a glance, he knew that a large group of people were coming. At the front of the city, many winter birds were frightened, and it was even more terrifying.

Now I understand that the imperial court has not sent a large number of people to the Tianshuipu military camp at all, and the only hope is to report back to Zhou Xiongqi after finding out the military situation, and then it is possible to carry out the next step of dispatching troops and horses.

Each garrison in the Central Plains did not exceed five hundred, and there were not many horses. Looking at this dust, you know that it must be a large group of cavalry coming, and now everyone has two war horses, it must be the Xiliang cavalry disguised as the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

The reason why Zhou Xiongqi did not send the forbidden army in Kyoto to exterminate the bandits was because the situation in the Central Plains was still unclear, and the specific number of these enemy troops was not clear. Although Xu Fei has been in contact with him, in the absence of real evidence, Zhou Xiongqi will never take risks.

There must be no room for any mistakes in an important place like Kyoto, where traitors are rampant, and there are many forces in the rivers and lakes and their own hidden private soldiers. Until the last resort, the already small number of forbidden troops will not be taken out to risk.

With these hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Kyoto, they can play the greatest role, but if most of these forbidden troops are negligent in training in the field, they will be defeated in the event of a fierce battle outside the city with complex terrain.

Zhou Xiongqi's choice was not unreasonable, and he would rather give up all the areas in the Central Plains except the capital to ensure the safety of Kyoto.

As long as the imperial family is not completely replaced, Kyoto is still in the hands of the imperial court. Sooner or later, General Chen Hezhi will return to the imperial court, and at that time there will be a solution to all matters.

Now the only thing that can be counted on in this sweet water shop military camp is Xu Fei, who has granted the Tiger Fu military power. However, the terrain of the Central Plains is vast, the garrisons are extremely scattered, and the number of non-elite troops in each unit is only a few hundred.

How to organize these soldiers scattered all over the place to form a powerful force is the biggest problem Xu Fei faces.

Now looking at the dust covering the sky and the sun in the distance, you can know that there is another Xiliang army brigade coming, which shows that this sweet water shop army camp is at the key point, and it is a military important place that Dong Bufan and his party are determined to win. The situation that had been stable is now facing a huge crisis.

The soldiers in the barracks brought by Xu Fei plus the original garrison were only about 900, and many of them were injured after the tragic battle to defend the city, even if these more than 700 people had traveled a long distance, the physical consumption was also very huge.

In fact, the reason why he was able to arrive in time and brought these more than 7,700 soldiers and horses was also a fluke, when Xu Fei and his masters rushed to the Tianshuipu military camp, they met those stragglers of the imperial court military horses who were defeated by the Xiliang soldiers on the way.

These people were all defeated by the small forces under Li Meng's command who were raging on the land of the Central Plains, and although the losses were not too great, the morale of the army was already weakened. All hurried to Kyoto in an attempt to obtain asylum.

Xu Fei set off this time wearing the official uniform of the commander of the forbidden army, and carried the tiger talisman in his arms. When he saw these stragglers, he immediately stepped forward to stop them and asked where their garrisons were.

Then after showing the tiger talisman, those stragglers saw that there was a messenger sent by the imperial court as the backbone, and they felt that they had hope, so they obeyed their words.

Along the way, Xu Fei encountered two defeated official armies, and they both integrated them. In terms of age structure, these officers and soldiers are better than those old and weak soldiers in Tianshui Fort, and the cavalry adds up to three hundred.

However, seeing that the knives and spears were also inferior, after asking the leading officer in detail, I learned that the number of people lost was not much, and only a few dozen people were lost in the battle and fled. It can be seen that these people's fighting spirit is sluggish, military discipline is not strict, and when they suffer small setbacks, they have a sense of cowardice in their hearts.

That Wu Wei was born with a brave character, and he couldn't help but be furious when he saw these officers and soldiers so vulnerable. The military attachés who led the team were scolded bloody, these people were reorganized, military discipline was reaffirmed, and it was made clear that those who escaped from the battle would not be forgiven.

Where have I seen such a look, this kind of skill, and this kind of temper, and those officers and soldiers can't help but be silent one by one. In addition, I knew that the court sent me down to send the main officer, and I had the backbone of the main heart and the backbone of the heart, so the morale also changed.

The reason why these officers and soldiers have hope for the superior difference in their hearts is not because of Xu Fei, a first-class master, but because of Wu Wei's rugged and heroic appearance and the iron rod in his hand.

Holding such a heavy weapon in his hand as if nothing happened, it can be seen how strong his skills are, and they all regard Wu Wei as a mortal existence under the gods, and they are all looking forward to it.

Therefore, outside the barracks, Wu Wei took the lead in charging and killed many enemy troops on top of the earthen wall. Seeing this scene, these officers and soldiers also aroused their fighting spirit one by one, and only then did they charge with vigor to scare back those Xiliang soldiers who were besieging the city.

Originally, the two forces of officers and armies converged in one place, and there were nearly 900 officers and soldiers who survived and were still able to fight, while the other side was only a thousand people, and most of the backbone officers had just been killed.

With Chu Liancheng and Lin Tianyun and these two troops, it was already difficult to capture this military camp. However, looking at the dust that covered the sky and the sun in the distance, it can be seen that the number of people coming will only be more, so many enemy troops have come to Tianshuipu together, can they hold on to the exhausted 900 people?

The dust was getting closer and closer, and I finally saw the appearance of the carriages and horses. I saw that from a distance, it looked like a yellow cloud, and the soldiers and generals on the horse were all yellow cloth buns, and they were all wearing simple yellow cloth robes, and sure enough, they were the Xiliang soldiers and horses dressed by the Yellow Turban Army.

Because there were too many people, Xu Fei had never experienced a battle, so he couldn't judge the specific number of people at all. saw Wu Wei's face heavy. Although Wang Ying was hit hard in several places, there were still other soldiers who came to the wall with support, and his face was generally heavy when he looked outside.

Xu Fei is a character who can't hold his breath, and he can't help but feel anxious when he sees the faces of two people who have been in battle for a long time with such heavy faces. He immediately asked, "I don't know how many enemy troops are coming, do we have enough manpower?"

That Wu Wei said in a low voice. "There are less than two thousand people coming, looking at the banner, it seems to be divided into three teams, each of these thieves is about five hundred people, it seems that the other three Xiliang soldiers and horses came together in order to seize this military important place." ”

Xu Fei's heart sank when he heard this, it seemed that the number of men and horses was beyond his expectations, and after merging with the enemy army in front of him, wouldn't the number of people be close to three thousand, which could be said to be several times the defenders of Tianshuipu.

Although the enemy army had now been repulsed, Xu Fei saw the tragic scene on the city wall, with corpses and pools of blood everywhere on the earthen wall, and knew that this siege battle was fierce.

The number of soldiers in Wang Ying's army is also known, and there are more than 500 people when he leaves, but now when he looks at it, there are only about 200 Tianshuipu sergeants who can stand on the city wall and barely fight, so it can be seen that more than half of the casualties were killed and wounded when defending the city.

There is really no bottom on how to defend the city defense in the next step, this kind of fierce battle between military formations, Xu Fei just followed Zhi Xingshuai to experience a battle in Wu Gu Ping, and now how to carry out this kind of city defense battle and how to deploy manpower are confused.

I couldn't help but look at Wu Wei with expectant eyes, this person grew up in the border pass, and his family has been a military household for generations, and he knows everything about the battle. The elders of Wu Wei are all lower-level military attachés in charge of military power in the army, although their grades are not high, but they are all people who can fight habitually.

It's just that because of the temperament of the Wu family, they can't slip around and are extremely upright, so they have not been reused by their superiors. But since Wu Wei was also a person who was familiar with military books since he was a child, now the command of this sweet water shop falls on his shoulders.

Xu Fei saw that the other party's people and horses gathered together, and the people shouted that the horses were strong and strong, which also stimulated the young man's heart.

This big war is imminent.
