Chapter 178: Stalemate
Qingzhou.
Tai Shi Ci's troops and the outpost troops of the northern barbarians have been fighting together, and the two sides have fallen into a vicious battle, and sure enough, the northern barbarian forces are still extremely strong.
Even if the Yuzhou side was hit hard once before, but not everyone can hit it, and the troops on the Yuzhou side just fought a surprise attack last time.
On the side of the northern barbarians, they were unprepared for an all-round attack.
Right now, on the side of Yuzhou, Tai Shici's vanguard can be said to have been stared at all the time, so the northern barbarians are so fast.
The two sides have been locked in a fierce war. Before, Tai Shi Ci wanted to surround all this outpost force, but when he was just about to surround it.
Suddenly, a force was killed from the periphery. It's obvious. These troops are probably waiting for him. Fear. When he entered the territory of Qingzhou, he had already been discovered.
This made Tai Shici very helpless and a little uncomfortable, after all. lived up to the lord's expectations of him. Right now, it looks like it's a bit difficult to do.
But there is no way, it has already happened. I can only break out quickly. He's here. It's been grinding for a long time.
If you rub it off any longer. I'm afraid, I'll have to explain it here. Within a short period of time. These northern barbarian forces pose no threat to him, but after a long time.
If there are a few more troops from inside Qingzhou, I'm afraid Tai Shi Ci will not be able to parry, so Tai Shi Ci is at this time. I'm ready to retreat.
Otherwise, there is no way. It's been a long time, and he has to deliver some news to the lord.
Otherwise, Huang Zhong's large army will be in trouble, and at the moment, the vigilance of the northern barbarians is still very high.
Tai Shici quickly joined forces with Zhang Jaw and Zhou Tai.
Then, Tai Shi Ci said.
"We can't drag it out any longer, and if it drags on any longer, the troops on our side will be in danger. I want to retreat, what do you think? ”
At this time, Zhang Jaw said on the side.
"We must retreat, if we don't, our side will be in danger, I'm afraid we will be planted here. The lord's side will understand. ”
Zhou Tai said on the side at this time.
"We have to retreat. If not withdrawn. I'm afraid we'll all have to give an account here. At present, the losses this time will definitely be very large, so let's withdraw first, and then think about it in the long run. ”
Tai Shi Ci nodded at this time, and then said.
"For now, that's all it can be. Order your troops to retreat quickly. ”
Zhou Tai and Zhang Jaw said one after another.
"Okay general."
Just as Tai Shici's troops were about to retreat, Huang Zhong's troops came.
When Tai Shici was about to give the order to retreat, he suddenly saw the sound of horses' hooves and heavy footsteps in the distance.
Tai Shi Ci turned his head at this time and saw that it was Huang Zhong's army coming, he was immediately surprised, he didn't expect Huang Zhong's troops to come up at this time.
It made him feel a little unbelievable and a little surprised, because Huang Zhong's troops were waiting for his news, but he didn't expect Huang Zhong's troops to come now, I'm afraid there is something he doesn't know.
Just when he was surprised. Tai Shi Ci suppressed the doubts in his heart and said slowly.
"Don't quit yet. Quickly surround these outposts. Do you understand. ”
The generals next to him said one after another.
"Okay, General, we'll arrange it."
Soon, Huang Zhong's troops surrounded him. The outposts on the northern barbarians' side quickly attacked the outposts on this side.
When the general of the outpost force on the northern barbarian side saw that the troops in the Central Plains region came up so quickly, he was immediately surprised, and was ready to retreat, but it was too late, his troops were already entangled with the people on Tai Shici's side, and they couldn't withdraw at all.
He originally wanted to take a few people to break out, but he didn't expect Huang Zhong's troops to come too quickly, and they had already cut off their retreat. I'm afraid they won't be able to escape.
Fortunately, he has already passed the news from here to the base camp, and I believe that there will be a reaction soon, although it is late at night. But as soon as the day dawned. Everyone here will react.
On the side of Yuzhou, there is no advantage at all.
Soon, Tai Shici's forward troops and Huang Zhong's large troops quickly ate the troops on the northern barbarians' side, which can be said to be extremely fast.
And the action is very fast, which fully shows that the troops brought by Huang Zhong are extremely strong.
At this time, Huang Zhong's troops and Tai Shici's troops quickly merged into one. The generals on Tai Shici's side and the generals appointed by Huang Zhong met one after another. Tai Shi Ci asked suspiciously.
"General Huang Zhong, why are you here? Aren't you waiting for my news? ”
At this time, Huang Zhong said slowly.
"There was news from the lord's side, and I was asked to attack quickly, and I came quickly as soon as I got the news. The lord concluded that you might be in a bad battle. That's right, you're in for a vicious battle. ”
"I didn't expect the vigilance of the northern barbarians to be so high, their outpost troops are so amazing."
Tai Shi Ci said slowly at this time.
"That's true, when we inquired about the news before, I am afraid that the people on the northern barbarian side were vigilant, their outpost force is indeed very strong. If it weren't for the fact that I'm also very strong on my side, I'm afraid I'm going to plant it this time. ”
"The losses on my side this time are not small, but it is also a victory to be able to completely annihilate this outpost of the northern barbarians."
Huang Zhong said with a frown at this time.
"But the current situation is not optimistic. I'm afraid that the troops on the northern barbarian side have already received the news, and it is not appropriate for our side to go out now, if they are impulsive, I am afraid that our side will fall into their encirclement. ”
"Right now. I'm afraid our side will be passive, and. The lord also said that there may be some problems with the grain and grass behind us, and the supply of the logistics department may be less than three months. ”
Tai Shi Ci said with a frown at this time.
"Less than three months. We should be able to annihilate this northern barbarian force within three months. ”
Huang Zhong shook his head at this time and said.
"It's not easy, not necessarily. Moreover, the strength of the northern barbarians is extremely strong. If there is a flaw on our side, they will attack quickly, so I am afraid that it will be a long tug-of-war next. ”
"This is not what we want to see here, originally the lord's side, I wanted the vanguard troops on your side to make a good start, and completely annihilate the forward outposts on this side, and then our side quickly attacked and caught them off guard."
"But I didn't expect that it was already a startling snake now, and I'm afraid that the northern barbarians are hiding a lot of troops in the dark. The troops on Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Sun Jian's side were prepared for this. ”
"Right now, the northern barbarians have not been dispatched, and I am afraid that they will be dispatched later. What the lord meant was that let's see if we could lure them out before we made plans. ”
Tai Shi Ci thought for a moment at this time, and then said.
"I'm afraid this is a bit difficult, if they let their people surround our side, I'm afraid our side will be very passive, and I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money, even if we really lure their people out."
"Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, can Sun Jian's troops really be able to rescue our side in time?"
Huang Zhong shook his head at this time and said.
"It's rare. It can be said that the next situation is difficult for our side. We have to be careful. And. This time, our side has been startled in advance, and I'm afraid there will be some action. ”
"In addition, the lord's side doesn't want our side to be in danger, let's take one step at a time, even if we can't draw out those troops, we just need to be on guard, don't be raided by them. So the vanguard on your side will be used as a sentry force for the time being. Sneak into the shadows and ambush them. ”
Tai Shi Ci nodded at this time, and then said.
"That's all there is to it for now. I see, is there anything else to explain from the lord's side? ”
Huang Zhong shook his head at this time and said.
"That's all for the time being, the lord has nothing to explain for the time being, let's take root here first, and then talk about it. The problem of food must be saved, understand? ”
"We must manage this food well, otherwise, it will be really difficult when the time comes."
Tai Shi Ci nodded at this time, and then said.
"I see, I'll let you know. Thank you General Huang Zhong for coming to the rescue this time, otherwise, I'm afraid that my side will be planted. ”
Huang Zhong said at this time.
"It's okay, it should be. If my side can come early, I'm afraid the loss on your side will be much smaller. ”
Tai Shi Ci said at this time.
"That's true, I didn't expect the outpost on the northern barbarians' side to be so strong this time. This time I was careless, if I could have been careful, I would not have resorted to the tactics of encirclement, and I guess I would have fought a quick assault battle. ”
"And then quickly assault elsewhere. At this time, if I pass on the news again, I'm afraid it won't be as difficult as it is now, and it's all my carelessness. ”
Huang Zhong shook his head at this time and said.
"General Tai Shici, don't blame yourself, in fact, you have done a good job. In fact, we didn't expect that the vigilance of the northern barbarians was so high, and the strength of the outpost force was so strong. Don't blame yourself. ”
"The lord, in fact, I don't mean to blame you, next. We still have to fight well. Now comes the main thing, so prepare well. ”
Tai Shi Ci said at this time.
"I'll go ahead and arrange it, don't worry. Leave all the surrounding sentries to me, and if there is any situation, I will notify you in time. ”
Huang Zhong nodded at this time, and then said.
"I'm still very relieved that you're doing things. I'll leave these things to you. Also, be sure to keep an eye on the troops on the northern barbarians' side. If they make the slightest move, they must report it to me in time, otherwise. It's dangerous on my side. ”
Tai Shi Ci nodded at this time, and then said.
"Don't worry, I will definitely do a good job, and I will definitely not be careless this time."
At the same time, Yuzhou's side.
Lin Chuan said at this time.
"Tai Shici's troops and Huang Zhonglin's troops have been handed over?"
Guo Jia said on the side at this time.
"Tell my lord, there's news over there. General Tai Shici's troops and General Huang Zhong's troops have been handed over. Rest assured, my lord. They, the two of them join forces, and they will be fine. ”
Lin Chuan nodded at this time, and then said.
"That's good. Huang Zhong and Tai Shici are there. The two joined forces. There shouldn't be any big deals, they've always been cautious, plus we're here for remote scheduling. Nothing big should happen. ”
"After all, this is a cross-state operation, and it's still a bit dangerous. The slightest mistake will wipe them out, I don't want anything to happen to them, understand? You have to pay more attention over there. Do you understand the close contact with Uncle Zhang? You have to keep an eye on the troops on the northern barbarians' side, understand? ”
Guo Jia said on the side at this time.
"Okay, lord, don't worry, we will definitely keep an eye on the troops on the northern barbarians' side, and we won't let them launch a surprise attack on our side, don't worry, lord. I'll be careful not to hurt my frontline troops in the slightest. ”
Lin Chuan nodded at this time, and then said.
"I've always been relieved of your work. In addition, you must keep an eye on the troops on Liu Zhang's side, and how to enter the troops over there, and don't let them launch a surprise attack at this time, understand? If they start a civil war, we will probably have a hard time on our side. ”
Cai Yong said on the side at this time.
"Don't worry, my lord. I've been keeping an eye on that side, as long as He Jin's troops and Liu Zhang's troops move slightly, our side will notify you in time. ”
"At that time, we will also have a certain plan for dealing with it. And Liu Zhang's side also has a secret letter with us, and he is now trying to deal with He Jin's side as much as possible, trying to delay us as much time as possible, it should delay us for a while. ”
Lin Chuan nodded at this time, and then said.
"Hopefully, so be it, I always feel a little uneasy, I always feel that something will happen, just in the past few days, and this time our side also attacked too early, and the grass and snakes were startled. But there's no way around it right now. He Jin's troops over there were indeed a little unable to sit still. ”
Guo Jia said on the side at this time.
"Tell the lord, your judgment is actually not wrong, at this time, in fact, this is the most correct choice to assault, but our side actually didn't expect the northern barbarians to be so vigilant."
"The outpost force on the northern barbarian side is so strong. I'm afraid this is their elite troops. In fact, our side still has a great advantage, after all, our Yuzhou side has wiped out most of their troops. ”
"Although our side has suffered a lot of losses, our side has a little bit less than them. Besides, the northern barbarians are on our side in Yuzhou. Having lost most of their troops, they probably don't want to fight with us now. ”
"So, at the moment, we still have a big advantage on our side."
Lin Chuan nodded at this time, and then said.
"That's true. I hope everything goes well with Tai Shici and Huang Zhong. It would probably be much better if we could quickly drive out the people from the northern barbarians.
"In this way, we will be able to calm down Liu Zhang's affairs over there, and then the entire Central Plains will be much quieter. Looks like we're going to have to hurry. Let's go down with the speed. Be sure to keep an eye on the troops on the northern barbarians' side. ”
"Also find out where their troops are. Do a quick blow. We've got to get rid of this barbarian army, you know? ”
Guo Jia said on the side at this time.
"Okay, lord, I'll arrange it."
Hope everything goes well. Lin Chuan thought secretly in his heart.
