Xu Huang greeted Wen Chou.

Wen Chou naturally also noticed Xu Huang who was coming towards him.

He casually killed the Dingyuan sergeant in front of him with two shots, waiting for Xu Huang's arrival.

The main general will fight, and the others will naturally give up space, after all, the aftermath of the master's move is also easy to make people hurt, and if they are too close, it is easy to lose their lives directly.

Wen Chou fought this idea, lured Xu Huang out, and the military formation of the Dingyuan Army lost its commander, and his own cavalry would definitely be stronger against the Dingyuan Army without Xu Huang's command.

And Xu Huang is a general who is good at leading the army, presumably his personal strength should not be particularly outstanding, if he can cut him off the horse, it will be easier to solve the current situation, exterminate these guys who dare to use foot soldiers against cavalry on the plains, and he can also reflexively go back to the lord to help attack Tai'an City.

The generals on both sides were thinking of killing each other, in fact, how could they not know that the other party's strength was not weak, but they were more confident in their own strength.

However, Wen Chou still always remembers his mission, maintaining stability first, and he understands that if he is killed because of excessive negligence, it will be a great blow to his side, from the perspective of strategic layout, once he dies here, then Yuan Jun will never have a chance to face Liu Bei's army.

Wen Chou's moves were a little more restrained, and he wanted to defeat Xu Huang while maintaining stability.

Although Xu Huang's tricks are wide open, he is actually a conservative, and like his style of commanding the army, he will not take risks easily if he does not have to.

So this makes the battle between the two of them have been ping-pong, but in fact, their tricks are not good-looking, more like a routine duel, vigorous at the beginning, but boring when they fight.

Although the two masters fought each other in a routine like Tai Chi pushing hands over there, in fact, neither Yuan Jun nor Dingyuan Jun was greatly affected.

Moreover, although Yuan's individual strength was strong, but in fact, after losing Wen Chou's command, they didn't know what to do was the most correct choice, so they could only blindly form small groups to attack the military formation of the Dingyuan army.

The Dingyuan Army has the military system that Chen Chen had perfected before Xu Huang and Guo Yi, even if Xu Huang was fighting against Wen Chou at this time, there was no way to command.

But officers at all levels have been trained in military ability, and they know what they should do at this time, and they coordinate with each other The general formation quietly changed into a circular formation, leaving only a little gap, and this gap is always facing Xu Huang and Wen Chou, which makes Xu Huang make a mistake in the fight? Can you return to the army in time when you are defeated? It can be said that although the current Dingyuan soldiers may be inferior to the Yuan army in terms of both military types and individual strength? But in team command? They still showed the same high level of quality as ever.

This kind of readjustment must require the entire contingent to have a relatively good military capability and awareness, so that the armed forces can be put into operation in a timely and smooth manner.

Although Yuan Jun is strong? But the consciousness of the brain is not strong, and the training lacks this item.

But now at this time can do such an army? Is it possible to uniformly self-regulate without the command of the commander-in-chief? It is estimated that they are all elite troops that are famous all over the world.

Sure enough, the first fight became famous.

The Dingyuan Army has this quality, and it is worthy of Xu Huang's training over the years, and most of the officers of the Dingyuan Army were originally transferred from the Taiyuan New Army? Xu Huang himself has brought it for many years? And they are all considered to be strong in training, they may not be as bright as other armies in terms of personal strength, but in terms of training, the army of Liu Bei's camp really wants to say that it is stronger than them, no.

Taishan County at this time? It was filled with the smell of war, and it seemed that there was fighting everywhere.

A battle on the walls of Taean City? It's happening in a repetitive cycle.

After the first evacuation of the Yuan army, the other siege states were still fierce? But in fact, the soldiers defending the city knew that they were not as terrible as they were when they first started.

Because Yuan Shao's amplification status disappeared? So Yuan Jun's state naturally returned to a normal state? Now after the high morale of their lock-in is gone? They also wail, they cry, and their expressions change drastically, which makes them feel like a human being.

However, although the state of the Yuan army was not as fierce as the first time, every time they attacked the city, they got more breakthroughs, and the positions on the city walls they occupied were also increasing.

Although their breakthroughs in the past two days still ended in failure, if they continued at this pace, Xu Shu felt that it was likely that tomorrow would be the day the city was broken.

It will almost become a future that cannot be changed, because the fortification of the city for the past two days, the casualties of the defenders in the city are a little unbearable, and the next defense of the city may be able to gather enough people.

And the city tower can also observe the situation in the distance, although I don't know the specific situation, but I can know that Xu Huang came to support, but encountered a team of similar size to block, combined with the previous Wen Chou with the cavalry team suddenly left, Xu Shu felt that Xu Huang should be blocked by Wen Chou, which will be a disadvantage in the class and terrain.

Xu Shu understood that the game he had set up was basically a failure, and he did not achieve the real surprise attack effect, and there was no way to achieve the effect of luring Yuan Jun's firepower away, but instead let Yuan Jun concentrate his firepower to attack Tai'an City, and it seemed that he might not be able to hold Tai'an City before Liu Bei's army arrived.

Sure enough.

The battle for Taean Castle began on the morning of the third day, and there was a chaotic scene.

The number of casualties among the defenders in the city was a bit too much, and the loopholes that appeared also increased, and there was basically no way to plug all the loopholes, more and more Yuan troops appeared on the city walls, and more and more enemies surrounded their own defenders.

Xu Shu could only command the capable warriors to retreat to the city near the west gate.

If there is really no way, they can only choose to evacuate Tai'an City.

Although he understood that if he lost Tai'an City, he would completely declare that his plan had failed, but he was also sober, if he folded more than 10,000 Dingyuan soldiers here.

Then he is even more sorry for Xu Huang.

If the number of Dingyuan troops is less than 10,000, then the establishment of the Dingyuan army may be canceled.

So Xu Shu thought about it, he would rather accept punishment or blame himself, and he couldn't put all these soldiers in his hands in this defense battle.

The lord said that if you are in the city, you are in the city, and if you die, you will lose the city.

As for the impact on the overall situation, Xu Shu is not unaware, if he loses Tai'an, then he will not have a stable station to resist some risks after crossing the river, and the supply of supplies will also have problems, and a lot of grain and grass are in Tai'an City.

But he really couldn't help it, Yuan Jun's strength increase was too sudden, too unexpected, Xu Shu had already increased Yuan Jun's strength by five percent according to the original basis.

Who knew they were coming over one by one now?

The strength of Yuan Jun's current ordinary soldiers is the strength of their previous commanders.

It can only be said that it is outrageous.

In fact, even Chen Chen and the others didn't expect Yuan Jun's degree, and they have to say that in this world, the power of the law is stronger than everything.

Xu Shu gathered the soldiers and transferred the wounded soldiers to the west of the city first, he looked at the buildings in the city, sighed and shook his head, although he wanted to distract Yuan Shao and them by burning down the entire Tai'an City, and not leaving them anything, but if he thought about it carefully, this was a little too cruel and inhumane for the people in Tai'an City, so he thought about it and only burned the granary and some government facilities to distract Yuan Jun, and he didn't move at all for the people.

After taking down the city wall of the east gate, the city gate was soon opened, and Yuan's army successfully poured into the city of Tai'an.

"This Dingyuan army is like defending the city, but the speed of retreat is quite fast."

Yuan Shao smiled and said to Gao Ran beside him.

For him, to be able to break through Tai'an City before the arrival of Liu Bei's army, his heart was settled, after having a small city, coupled with the improvement of the ability of his army's soldiers, and a strong cavalry in his hand, he may still be able to have a chance to turn the tables.

"My lord is right."

Gao Ran wiped the sweat from his forehead.

This Dingyuan army defending the city is not ordinary, but also because the strength of his own soldiers has increased suddenly, Gao Ran himself feels that his strength has improved, and now he feels that he can fight against Yan Liangwen before.

If it was still the previous Yuan army, let alone capture this Tai'an city, Gao Ran felt that maybe the Dingyuan army would directly attack and destroy everyone.

But it seems that since following Yuan Shao, Gao Ran has found that the strength of his own soldiers and the increase in his own strength seem to have been fluctuating, and sometimes when he fights some weaker forces, Gao Ran can even feel that the increase in his body has become reversed.

Gao Ran's talent in strength perception is extremely high compared to ordinary people, but he still can't figure out the doorway, and it can only be attributed to the influence of the lord.

"Lord, there is a fire over there, it should be that the Dingyuan Army wants to burn down the granary or something when it withdraws."

Gao Ran saw that black smoke suddenly rose in the city, and pointed to the black smoke to remind Yuan Shao, who was thinking about how to deal with the attacking Liu Bei's army after occupying Tai'an, turning attack into defense, and doing a good job of switching attack and defense.

"Huh?"

This is not surprising, after all, this is what most teams will do when they are defeated by the other side in the balance of power, but the other party only concentrates on destroying some places, instead of destroying in the alleys of Tai'an City, which makes Yuan Shaogao look at it.

"Poor Kou Mo chase, put out the fire, hurry up and settle the wounded soldiers, go to repair the core, and prepare to meet Liu Xuande."

Although Yuan Shao won this battle, he knew that this was not over, the arrogance and belittling of Dingyuanjun just now was just to release the pressure in his heart, the pressure of Liu Bei's army was still there, and he would still stay awake.

The retreat of the Dingyuan army was in an orderly manner under Xu Shu's organization, and they did not completely lose the combat effectiveness of the main force.

"By the way, remember to be strict with military discipline, don't intrude on the people, and be a man after the military discipline is done for me."

Yuan Shao solemnly explained to Gao Ran, if he disturbed the people at this time, it would be self-destruction.

"The last will understand."

Gao Ran asked people to put out the fire and recover some losses, these are their resources next, and at the same time, he took over the city defense with people and implemented them one by one according to Yuan Shao's explanation.

Yuan Shao was stationed in the city government with his personal guards, and he needed to take a break, think about the follow-up strategy, and convene another meeting of his staff.

Now he doesn't have enough reliable brains around him, so he can only rely on himself.

And the battle between Xu Huang and Wen Chou did not distinguish the winner or loser, but after Tai'an was broken, Yuan Shao asked people to inform Wen Chou, and the two sides could only stop the battle, leaving behind the corpses and the stream that had turned blood, Xu Huang withdrew to the stronghold on Mount Tai, and Wen Chou withdrew to Tai'an City.

Although the impact of Tai'an City Break is not small, Xu Huang is also mentally prepared.

He quickly sent people to investigate the news to see if Tai'an City had been completely captured, or if Xu Shu and they couldn't resist evacuating.

Like Xu Shu, Xu Huang is more concerned about Xu Shu's safety.

After getting the news that Xu Shu and them had evacuated safely, Xu Huang was completely relieved.

Although the Dingyuan army led by Xu Huang and the cavalry of Wenchou fought for a long time, their casualties were not too large, because the military formation had always been well maintained, and the battle loss ratio was basically close to three to one, and the two sides did not really die on the battlefield.

Xu Huang and the others wanted to fight, but Wen Chou and they were cowardly, fierce and cavalry, and the fight was like a fist swung into cotton, which was uncomfortable.

Now it is possible to take a brief break from the fighting.

Yuan Shao and the others began to seize the time to replenish the energy lost by repairing the Guannu, and adjust the state of defending the city.

Xu Huang repaired in the Taishan stronghold and treated the wounded soldiers, and he needed to prepare for the next battle work with Liu Bei's army to attack back and forth.

The team led by Xu Shu evacuated in an orderly manner towards the west of Tai'an City, and after walking for less than half a day, they met the White Horse Army who arrived.

Zhao Yun's White Horse Army was arranged to cross the river first, and it took only one day for the White Horse Army to arrive here after successfully crossing the river, and it only took more than half a day to arrive at Tai'an City, but he didn't expect to meet the defeated army led by Xu Shu here.

"General Zilong."

Xu Shu smiled bitterly, it seems that the reinforcements are only half a day away, if he can hold on for another half a day, maybe it will be fine.

But don't regret your choice.

Half a day is only a few hours, but if you really continue to fight, it is estimated that you will not be able to hold it for an hour, and then it will be a one-sided massacre, and those wounded soldiers can only be slaughtered or captured, according to Yuan Shao's current situation, there is a high probability that he will be directly executed.

"Mr. Yuanzhi don't worry, the lord won't blame you, Mr. said that the strength of the Yuan army is strange, originally according to your layout, it was expected that Tai'an City would be broken yesterday, but I didn't expect you to be able to hold out until now, and the new force of the Dingyuan army has been preserved."

Xu Shu sighed.

"That said, but if I don't lay it out like that......"

"Mr. also said, if it is not arranged in this way, then Wen Zhongqian can cross Tai'an to block our army, plus Tai'an City is not big, under such consumption, not only will Tai'an City be broken, but if Wen Zhongqian blocks in a roundabout way, you and General Gongming will not be able to evacuate safely. The scene is not bad now. ”

Zhao Yun smiled, the current situation was better than Chen Chen expected.

"This senior brother also expected it."

Xu Shu smiled bitterly and shook his head, he smiled bitterly because he really lacked some heat, and he still needed to learn more and experience more.

"Then I'll go and confess to the lord first, General Zilong take care, the strength of the Yuan army is much stronger than I thought before, you need to be careful."
