It's hard to be sweltering.

Finally, a gust of wind overhead, bringing a moment of coolness, was soon buried by the thick sand and ash, and a new round of sultry heat rushed into the lungs and rushed to the back.

The sweat-soaked robe was extremely uncomfortable against the body.

The outside is covered with a layer of iron armor, and under the scorching sun, it is hot to the hands.

The wound on Dian Han's back was wet with sweat, and the pain on the wound was like sprinkling salt, which made the iron shaft man grin.

They had come out of the distant mountains, and had crossed a wheat field, and the general rode his horse, and the soldiers supported each other, limping westward.

This battle was really a wreck for Dian Han, and at this time he was on his horse, his head down, and his fluffy hair was draped over his shoulders.

A bird landed on top of his head.

He threw his head in anger, and the bird fluttered away.

It's a Chuwu.

Seeing this kind of bird, Dian Han scolded angrily: "Bad luck! ”

When he went, he took five thousand men with him and swore an oath; When he returned, there were less than two hundred people left, and only one horse remained, and he was a little lame. - One of the hind hooves of the war horse is a little cracked, I don't know what caused it.

Even the warden walked on the road in a trance, like the soldiers, and I really didn't know when he would run out of strength and fall.

"Come on, you can ride for a while." Dianhan looked at the Dian.

The pawn raised his eyes to look at the second brother, and his gaze was quickly attracted by the corners of his chapped mouth. It seems that the blow of defeat to him is far from being as simple as a physical injury.

Iron shaft man, it's okay to get a little injured. On the contrary, if the battle had been agreed, this little wound would never have made him so decadent.

Hearing that the pawn said that he wanted to let the horse out, the pawn shook his head and signaled that he could still walk.

"Don't do it." Norihan struggled to jump off the horse, "The wound on your shoulder isn't healed yet." As he spoke, he covered his waist with one hand, bared his teeth, and looked like his back hurt.

"You're hurt worse than I am." The warden smiled bitterly.

Three days ago, Dian Han received an order from Tang Qi to temporarily stop the attack. At the same time he began to reorganize his ranks, and at that moment a heavy cavalry of about a thousand men rushed over.

He led his troops to confront the enemy, and at this time, the soldiers in Bohai City also rushed out, and under the attack from both sides, Dianhan's troops were quickly crushed.

He insisted on fighting, stood up for a while, and finally got an arrow in the back. It is estimated that he was completely defeated, but fortunately, the person who shot the arrow is not very skilled, otherwise Dian Han's life would have been left here.

After the defeat, he didn't care about others, ran out for more than 20 miles in one go, and finally fled into a mountain, most of the Liang soldiers had been killed, and the enemy didn't want to waste any more energy to fight guerrilla attacks in the mountains, so they retreated.

"I don't know what happened to Tang Qi over there..."Dian Han helped his younger brother to get on the horse, and he stood with his teeth bared for a while before he began to continue walking.

Suddenly, they saw a group of men and horses in the distance, rushing towards them.

They squinted and saw that it was the banner of the Temporary Fourth Division, and the brothers looked at each other and smiled.

Dianhan suddenly sat down on the ground and didn't leave.

Soon after, the team drove over, Tang Qi heard that Dian Han was injured, and came to take a look in person, and heard the military doctor say that the injury was not to death, but just needed to recuperate, Tang Qi smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work." ”

Dian Han said shamefully: "The general of the defeated army, how to talk about hard work." ”

Tang Qi was relieved: "The enemy's cavalry is very fierce, even on my side, I was almost defeated. If it weren't for Tang Yuan, even if he arrived, my fate would not be better than yours. If we were to be defeated at the same time, the Fourth Division would have to withdraw from the battlefield en masse to repair. If it's not good, the number will be removed. ”

Dian Han knew that Tang Qi was bent on keeping this number, and even wanted to remove the words "temporary" and "recruit".

But now it seems that there is really a long way to go.

——

"Hey, Tang Yuan, why did you bring back so many clothes?" Tang Hu looked at the clothes that had been ripped off the dead people, and he felt unlucky.

Tang Yuan glared at Tang Hu: "You know a fart!" These military uniforms, all taken from the martyrs, represent a spirit. Our newly recruited soldiers don't even have military uniforms, and they look like a rabble, and when they put on these clothes, they seem to have a spiritual outlook as a whole. ”

Tang Hu pouted.

"Don't be squeezing your eyebrows at me, go and call Nalan Xin and Zhang Nu for me, I have something to discuss with them."

"You're going to war?"

"Nonsense, otherwise what are we going to do across the river? Come to Yangxin to enjoy happiness? ”

"I think it's good."

"Roll !!"

Soon after, Nalan Xin and Zhang Nu came together, discussing something as they walked.

At this time, there were not many people in the county hall of the county government, only Chen Bao and Liu Zhan.

Bringing the two of them in, Tang Yuan went straight to the point, pointed to a map hanging on the wall and said, "Zhonglang will let me go to Cangzhou to continue making trouble, I have already designed a few routes." What do you think? ”

Zhang Nu didn't speak.

Nalan Xin stood up, looked at the few lines drawn by Tang Yuan, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid this is not appropriate." ”

"What's wrong with it?"

"As far as I know, the second set of strategic deployment of Wanyan Trout has been completed, and he wants to use the 'spider web tactics' he invented. The tactic was to connect several nearby villages, each with an army stationed and a cavalry corps, ready to respond. Nalan Xin rubbed his chin and said.

Tang Yuan frowned and looked at the map, and said, "Why do I think his tactic is stupid?" ”

"I also think it's stupid, if it's very clever, I'll..."

Tang Yuan's original plan was to disperse the current six hundred people and snowball in three ways, but if the enemy army had already launched the "spider web" tactic, then his design might be in the hands of the enemy.

It's like one prey after another breaking into a spider's web, being caught in a dilemma, and eventually being eaten by the spider.

"Actually, I think his tactics are quite useful." Zhang Nu stood up, "This tactic was not invented by Wanyan Da Trout, it was often used by the people of the Southern Jin Dynasty in the past. Fighting such a war is not prone to a major rout, and it is purely a war of attrition. Even if he wins the battle in the end, he will kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800 himself. It seems that Wanyan Da Trout is not a very confident person, he is worried that he will not be able to play Huo Zizhen in a large-scale battle, so he will simply fight a war of attrition with him. ”

"Then I don't understand." Tang Hu walked over: "Our Liang is not much better than the male Jia, he is playing a war of attrition with us, can he have a good time?" ”

"You can't say that." Zhang Nu said: "We have four major grain producing areas in Daliang, Hebei, Shandong, Henan, and Huainan. Now Hebei has fallen into the hands of the enemy, in recent years, Henan Province, Shandong Province and continuous drought and locust plague, almost no output, there is only one production area in Huainan, to support the cost of the four major armies of the Liang, it is not easy, this Northern Expedition, and added 80,000 new soldiers, the Liang has already been hollowed out. Fighting a war of attrition is actually more disadvantageous to us. ”

Chen Bao narrowed his eyes and said, "Do you have to fight a war of attrition with them?" From the very beginning, I felt that it was better to send troops from the east of the river and directly attack the rear of the enemy army. ”

Zhang Nu immediately retorted: "It is easy to force the enemy to break the kettle and abandon the rear, they will cross the river to attack our Zhengzhou, once Zhengzhou is lost, Luoyang is in danger, I am afraid that the capital will be moved to Chang'an." ”

"It seems that this war of attrition must be fought." Tang Yuan frowned.

Zhang Nu said: "I think so. The strategic intentions of the enemy are still relatively obvious, you see. ”

Zhang Nu walked to the big map of Hebei and stood still, pointed to Hengzhou and said: "The enemy army has set up spider webs in front, but their rear is empty, but the enemy army is not stupid, they left the cavalry governor Jiupin Zhan Yan Shiya there."

Some time ago, Wang Caotian, Zhen Badao, and Fang Tianhua attacked Hengzhou, but they were frantically counterattacked by Yan Zhan Shiya. Yan Zhan Shiya must drive Wang Caotian out of Hebei before he will give up, which is also echoing Yan Da Trout's spider web plan. ”
