"Because General Han was killed by enemy generals, the 20,000 pikemen under his command were unattended for a period of time, so the casualties were extremely heavy. Later, although General Yang rectified them and combined them with 10,000 sword and shield soldiers under his command, but then because General Yang failed to capture the enemy's rear formation, he was besieged and killed, and almost all the soldiers and horses were wiped out. After the general just counted, the number of casualties among the sword and shield soldiers who fled back was about 6,000, while the pikemen lost almost half of them, with more than 10,000 casualties. As for General Liu's cavalry, more than 3,000 people were also killed. Eight hundred white balliths suffered eight hundred casualties, and two hundred crossbowmen. ”

"Hum hum ~ ~! In other words, the despicable soldiers and horses lost nearly 20,000 people!! ”

Guo laughed angrily, in this battle, he lost 20,000 soldiers and horses, as well as one of his favorite generals. Guo Da's laughter was cold and crazy, and the laughter made the Bai Bo generals present feel a pang in their hearts.

"Master Celestial, although we and the White Wave Heavenly Army were defeated in today's battle, they were not defeated for nothing. The mighty of Bai Polyshi's bravery, everyone has seen it, if it weren't for the insidious white-robed young general of the Hedong Army later, who sneaked up on the Heavenly Master. It is very likely that in today's battle, it will be our Baibo Heavenly Army that will win.

Tomorrow, the Heavenly Master can watch the battle in the city, hand over the command to General Liu, and then give General Liu heavy troops to prevent the white-robed young general from sneaking up again, so that we can win the victory with the White Wave Heavenly Army!! ”

Yang Feng suddenly took a step forward, he was the only one among all the Baibo generals who did not hang his head, but his face was full of excitement and hatred. He and Han Xiao are brothers and sisters, and now that Han Yu is dead, he is like a brother who has died, and his heart is no less than Guo Da.

"No!! Master of Heaven, Jinyang City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the city is ten zhang high, and there are moats on all sides of the city gates, which can be described as an iron wall of copper and iron, solid as gold.

Now that the morale of the generals is low, we must not rush into attack. On the contrary, we should defend the city and consume the troops of Hedong. Although our army suffered 20,000 casualties in today's battle, the casualties of the Hedong Army will not be low.

At this time, the strength of our Heavenly Army must still exceed that of the Hedong Army, so there is the fortified city of Jinyang, if the Hedong Army storms Jinyang City, its strength will be quickly consumed. When it is consumed by seven or eight, the Heavenly Master will send the whole army to attack, and he will definitely be able to kill and retreat the Hedong army! ”

Liu Bi hurriedly walked out and persuaded Guo Da with an excited expression. Guo Da frowned, thinking about the words of Yang Feng and Liu Bi in his heart, and seemed hesitant for a while.

"General Liu, have you forgotten that the battle situation in Dingxiang is urgent, and the Pingyang Army of the old man plus the soldiers and horses of Xihe, Wuyuan, and Shuofang has a total strength of 30,000. The strength is more than the 20,000 Baibo Heavenly Army left in Dingxiang. I don't know when, Zhang Yang's old horseman will break through Dingxiang and lead the army to besiege Jinyang. Now, if you don't seize the opportunity and fight to the death with the Hedong Army, when will you wait? ”

General Yang's words are really alarmist. Although the battle situation in Dingxiang is urgent, it has not reached the point of burning eyebrows. If we wait for ourselves to be in chaos, will we not be crying out for our own destruction! ”

"Hmph, I think General Liu can only say cool things. Wen Bufan is cunning and insidious, and I think the reason why he will fight today is that seventy percent of the battle situation is unknown.

If he learns, he will definitely besiege but not attack, only entangle the Baibo Heavenly Army in Jinyang, and wait for Zhang Yang's old horseman to have enough time to defeat the Baibo Heavenly Army in Dingxiang, and then besiege Jinyang with him! ”

Yang Feng and Liu Bi were in the main hall, and they quarreled with red eyes and red ears, Guo Da, who was originally irritable, became more and more chaotic the more he listened, and his whole head seemed to be blocked.

"Noise!! Shut up the contemptible ones!! ”

Guo drank suddenly, and immediately Yang Feng and Liu Bi stopped. Guo Da's face was full of shadows, and his face was extremely ugly, and at this time, all the Bai Bo generals turned their eyes to him, waiting for his choice.

"Han Xiao has just died, and the Heavenly Army has been defeated for a while today, so it is not appropriate to send troops to fight immediately. The contemptible people ordered the whole army to rest for three days, and at the same time strengthen the defense of Jinyang City. Whether to attack or defend, wait for three days, and then make a decision! ”

Guo Da closed his eyes and said slowly. When Yang Feng heard this, his expression couldn't help but change, and he opened his mouth to say.

"Heavenly Master!!"

"Shut up!! Yang Feng, I know that you and Han Yu are brothers and sisters, and they are eager for revenge. But you are a general of an army, and you must not be carried away by anger. This matter is hereby decided! Hugh more words! Well, the contemptible people need to be quiet to think about how to repel this Hedong army. Stand down, all of you! ”

Guo Da said majestically in a tone that could not be resisted. Yang Feng exhaled a few times and glared at Liu Bi fiercely, but Liu Bi turned a blind eye.

And then, a group of Bai Bo generals left the hall one after another. Guo Da slowly opened his eyes, his face instantly became hideous and terrifying, and he muttered three words over and over again.

Wen! No! Every!

It was late at night, in Wenhan's tent.

"Lord, Long has something to understand. This Jinyang City is the largest city in the state, and its city wall is ten feet high and there is a moat, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Why did this white wave thief retreat to the next place and take the initiative to attack? ”

At this time, Xi Long was in Wen Han's tent, discussing countermeasures with Wen Han. Wen Han's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this.

"Wait! Zhicai, today that Guo Da set up a plundering battle and dispatched nearly 50,000 troops. Judging from the information we have grasped before, it is impossible for this Jinyang City to have so many soldiers and horses. Could it be that Guo Da drew troops from the battle line in Dingxiang!? ”

Xi Long's face was stunned, and his face suddenly showed ecstasy.

"That's right! It must be so! In this way, Zhang Gong's strength in Dingxiang is beyond the Baibo thief army, with Zhang Gong's ability, presumably the current battle situation in Dingxiang is definitely a great good! ”

As soon as Xi Long's words fell, a rapid sound of horses' hooves sounded outside Wen Han's tent, and then a scout wearing a Pingyang military uniform, led by two Hedong sergeants, hurriedly came to Wen Han's tent to ask for a meeting.

"Report! Lord, Pingyang Zhang Taishou sent a secret letter! ”

Wen Han and Xi Long glanced at each other, and both of them looked surprised.

"Come! There is also a good student who arranges for the brother under Zhang Gong to rest, and he must not be lazy! ”

"Yes! The villain will arrange it immediately. “

The Hedong soldier outside the tent said that, he left with the Pingyang scout, and another Hedong soldier walked into the tent, handed the secret letter to Wen Han, and left with him.

Wen Han couldn't wait to open the envelope, looked at it intently, and the more he looked at it, the more happy his face became, and finally he laughed.

"My lord, what is written in this letter? Isn't it true that Zhang Gong has already defeated Dingxiang's White Wave Thief Army!? ”

"Zhicai guessed, although it is not true, it is not far away. Guo Da really withdrew 20,000 thieves from Dingxiang, and now Zhang Gong's army has surrounded Dingxiang's White Wave Thief Army in Shanwu City, and Shanwu City will be captured in less than half a month.

Zhang Gong specially sent a letter over, asking me not to rush to attack Jinyang, and after he broke through the good, he led the army and my Hedong army to attack and besiege Jinyang in front and back! ”

"Haha. In this way, the White Wave Thief Army has no power to turn the sky upside down. At present, the lord only needs to entangle the white wave thieves in Jinyang City, so that they cannot return to help. But..."

The drama laughed loudly, but halfway through the words, he seemed to think of something, and his face suddenly sank. Wen Han was startled when he saw Xi Long, and frowned unconsciously.

"But what? Zhicai can say it directly! ”

"Hey! But in this way, the lord is making a wedding dress for others. If Zhang Gong's soldiers and horses arrive and annihilate the White Wave Thief, Taiyuan County will definitely fall into the hands of Zhang Gong again.

Moreover, the war in Jinyang City is certain, and there are no more thieves in the state, and Zhang Gong will definitely be on guard against the lord. In this way, the lord spent a lot of effort to conquer and merge states, and finally got only one Shangdang County. ”

Taiyuan County is a county of merger, with a large population, far exceeding the other seven counties, and it is a place where Taiyuan has produced famous people. The importance of one Taiyuan county is comparable to that of ten Shangdang counties. Therefore, if Wenhan wants to obtain the annexation of the state, then Taiyuan County is bound to win! And for Zhang Yang, it is the same, if he wants to recover the state, Taiyuan County cannot afford to lose, so he hesitated to send troops to rescue Dingxiang in the first place, looking ahead.

"The wedding dress is the wedding dress. In today's battle, the Hedong Army lost 7,000 soldiers and horses, and now the remaining troops are only 20,000. On the other hand, there were nearly 30,000 thieves in Jinyang City. Moreover, Jinyang City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if the Hedong Army attacks Jinyang, even if Jinyang is captured, it will be a miserable victory, and the remaining soldiers and horses will not be more than half.

And when that time came, Duke Zhang led a large army to arrive. We are short of troops, don't say that we can't even protect a Taiyuan County or even Shangdang County. The matter of merging the state, we can think about it in the long run, and we will see the steps now. ”

Wen Han is also helpless about this, although the law of the jungle is the iron rule that will never change in troubled times, but once Wen Han's ambition to merge states is revealed, he will bow his head in reason. Zhang Yang can take advantage of this to attack Wen Han in theory and righteousness, and gather a large army to fight with Wen Han's soldiers and horses. After all, Zhang Yang is the old general of the former Bingzhou assassin Shi Dingyuan, and it is reasonable for him to recover the state. And no matter how much the people of Bingzhou love and support Wen Han, Wen Han is an outsider after all.

Xi Long heard the helplessness in Wen Han's words, and after muttering for a while, he comforted.

"But don't be discouraged. Now that the white wave thieves in Jinyang City have been forced into a desperate situation, Long thinks that they will never sit still, as long as they can't hold their breath and are anxious, they will definitely lead the troops to attack. At present, we should take precautions and come up with a plan, which can defeat this white wave thief army, and maybe even capture this Jinyang City! ”

"Zhicai said this very much, so let's hurry up and think of this countermeasure. I hope that this white wave thief in Jinyang City can make a move before Zhang Gong's army arrives. ”

After Wen Han nodded heavily, he began to discuss with Xi Long. However, even if they negotiate a countermeasure, it will not change their current passive situation. Unless the white wave thieves in Jinyang City really can't resist the attack, no matter how good the countermeasures discussed by Xi Long and Wen Han are, they are useless.

In the next few days, the Hedong army did not attack, and the Baibo thief army in Jinyang City did not come to plunder again. However, in the Hedong camp. Wen Han and Xi Long were busy, they kept wandering around the generals of the former White Wave Thieves who had newly joined the Hedong Army, and they didn't know what they were secretly discussing with them.
