"Newspaper, newspaper, newspaper...... The lord of the lord, the camp was attacked, please lead the troops back to help. A small school galloped to Guo Qi to report.

"What did you say?" Guo Qi, who was covered in blood, sat on the ground and gasped and spoke.

"My lord, the Xirong army has attacked our army's camp, please send troops back as soon as possible."

This time, Guo Qi heard it clearly, so he shouted at the top of his voice: "Tang Bi, Tang Bi...... went to give an order to Tang Bi and led the cavalry of the two provinces to return to the camp. ”

After receiving Guo Qi's military order, Tang Bi did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and immediately led the cavalry of the two provinces to rush to the direction of the camp, while Guo Qi stayed on the battlefield and waited until the sun was about to set, and then led the army to return to the camp with the captured booty and prisoners.

At this time, the camp has long lost its former appearance, the camp wall and the tents near the camp wall are damaged, blood stains and the corpses of the Xirong army are everywhere, when Guo Qi led the army to arrive, the Yongjun soldiers guarding the camp are stepping up to repair the camp and clean the battlefield.

"It is rumored that Tang Bi, Li Wu, and Chen Feng will go to the big tent of the Chinese army to see me."

"Humble duties see the lord." Li Wu and Chen Feng came to Guo Qi and saluted.

"Li Wu, what's going on? How many men did the Xijon army come? ”

"Lord Yu, there are about two thousand people, all of them are foot soldiers, and it seems that they are from the Huating camp; Due to the suddenness of the incident, our military was unprepared, so it suffered a bit of a loss, suffering nearly 500 casualties, of which about 300 were killed or seriously wounded in battle. ”

After listening to Li Wu's report, Guo Qi sneered: "It turned out to be the idea; It is really whimsical to want to take advantage of the decisive battle between the two armies to raid our camp and burn it down, forcing our army to retreat; What about Tang Biren? ”

"My lord, General Tang led the army to pursue the Xirong army." Chen Feng said.

"You two go back first! Settle down your wounded brother. ”

"No!"

Not long after the two left, Tang Bi led the cavalry of the two provinces back, and as soon as he returned to the camp, he left and came to the big tent of the Chinese army to report to Guo Qiyu: "The last general will see the lord." ”

"How's it going?"

"Due to the rapid withdrawal of the Xirong army, the last general only caught up with his rear team, killing more than 500 enemies and not taking prisoners." Tang Bi replied.

"Let's go back and rest! Count the casualties and results of our army today, and report to this king tomorrow. ”

"No! The last will be retired. ”

————————

Huating camp, so far after leading the remnants to withdraw to the camp, immediately ordered to stick to the camp, and the Huating camp at this time seemed extremely empty.

"General, the casualties of our army have been counted." The adjutant general walked up to Fu Bu with the paperwork and said.

"Put it there! Passing on my general's order, from now on, without the general's military order, no one is allowed to leave the camp without permission, and those who violate the order will be beheaded; In addition, all the men and miscellaneous servants in the battalion were incorporated into the army. ”

"No!" The adjutant general ordered: "But general, even if you add the people, our army is less than 3,000 people, what if the Yong army comes to attack the camp?" ”

"It's really damn, I didn't expect the Yongjun army to have heavy armored cavalry, and the cavalry combat is so skillful." So far, he said viciously: "What else can I do, hold on; As long as you hold out for three days, reinforcements will arrive. ”

"Reinforcements?" The adjutant general asked in surprise: "General, I'm afraid there won't be reinforcements coming!" No one rushed out to report the news! ”

"Ben will say yes, yes." Zhi Fu sneered: "You think that this will fight with the Yongjun army in the field and send troops to attack the Yongjun's camp, it's stupid, right?" ”

"The last general will not dare."

"Ben will tell you that whether it is a field battle or an attack on the Yongjun camp, it is actually to contain the enemy, and Ben General's real killer weapon is the dozens of heralds sent out in multiple ways."

"General, what you mean is that in fact, today's battle is to attract the attention of the Yong army, and its purpose is to send troops to break through the siege and move rescue troops."

"You're not too stupid." "Now our task is to firmly nail Huating and hold the Huating camp before the reinforcements arrive. ”

"No! The end will understand. ”

————————

Early the next morning.

Tang Bi took the battle report to Guo Qi's Chinese army tent and reported: "My lord, in this battle of Huating, our army suffered 752 casualties, of which 427 were killed in battle, 139 were seriously wounded, and 186 were lightly wounded. ”

"Where's the catch?"

"In this battle, our army destroyed a total of 3,257 enemies, including 1,152 prisoners, and captured more than 8,000 weapons, armor, bows and crossbows, and other ordnance......"

Because it was a field battle, and the enemy camp was not captured, so there were not many captures, and mainly all kinds of weapons, and the harvest was generally quite good, after all, it was a big victory!

"How many troops do we have available now?" Guo Qi then asked.

"Lord Yu, there are less than 7,800 people, of which more than half of the casualties of the Pro-Soldier Mansion and the Crossbow Soldier Mansion have completely lost their combat effectiveness."

"Where's the grain and grass? How long will it last? ”

"The main public grain and grass don't have to worry, plus the seized grain and grass will not be a problem to eat for another two months."

After listening to Tang Bi's report, Guo Qi walked around the big tent twice and said, "Take a cavalry and follow me to the Huating camp to have a look." ”

"No! The last general will go and prepare. ”

Under the protection of Tang Bi and more than 100 cavalry, Guo Qi came to the outside of the Huating camp, Guo Qi circled around the Huating camp and found that although the Huating camp could not be said to be an iron wall, it was also well defended, and a trench was dug in front of the camp, and the camp was also arranged with bed crossbows, catapults and other sharp weapons.

"Tang Bi, in your opinion, if our army captures Huating, how long will it take, and how many troops will it lose?"

"My lord, although the Xirong army has been newly defeated, the last general estimates that there are still two or three thousand troops in his battalion, and it occupies favorable terrain, and there are trenches dug around it, and the defense is tight; If it is attacked from all sides, it will take at least two days, and the losses of our army are estimated to be about 5,000 people, after all, our army has no experience in attacking fortifications, and it also lacks siege weapons. ”

"Understood, let's go back to camp!"

After returning to the camp, Guo Qi immediately summoned the generals to come to the Chinese army's big tent to discuss the matter.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this king has decided to withdraw his troops and return to Yongzhou tomorrow."

As soon as Guo Qi's words fell, the big tent was fried, and everyone asked Guo Qi why very puzzled.

"Shut up Lao Tzu." Guo Qi shouted angrily: "I just won two battles, and I feel that I can't do it." ”

In the face of Guo Qi's anger, the generals closed their mouths very interestingly.

"Tomorrow, the army will return to Yongzhou, but it must be done in secret and not let the enemy find out." Guo Qi said: "Tang Bi obeyed the order, and led the First and Second Cavalry Mansions to surround the Huating camp early tomorrow morning, besiege but not attack, and then withdraw in the afternoon;

Zhuo Yidao obeyed the order, and tomorrow led the Heavy Armored Infantry Mansion, the Fifth Cavalry Mansion, the Pro-Soldier Mansion and the Bow and Crossbow Soldier Mansion to escort the grain and grass and the prisoners to retreat south;

The king led the third and fourth cavalry to respond in the center;

Tomorrow, let's go back to prepare for the third watch and the fifth watch! ”

"No! Obey the orders of the king. The generals commanded.
