Twenty miles east of Wuchang City, Xu Shu's two regiments were once again surrounded. The number of enemy troops is not less than one hundred and fifty thousand. It is the biggest enemy that Xu Shu has encountered since he set out on the expedition.

"Newspaper... The army of Zhuge Liang and Ma Chao came from the west. ”

"Newspaper... The garrison of Wuchang City is less than ten miles away. ”

"Newspaper... The army of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei lined up five miles away, blocking the way of our army. ”

Scouts came to report one after another.

The commanders of the 11th and 12th regiments all had solemn expressions.

Xu Shu grabbed the reins of the horse and took out the map to watch...

Li Cunxiao said very arrogantly: "Sir, don't be afraid, with me, no one can hurt you!" ”

"And me..."

Li Yuanba snorted coldly: "What Zhuge Liang and Ma Chao are all defeated under me, what's the big deal?!" ”

"You two, can you be quiet?"

Xu Shu reprimanded impatiently, called Du Ye, the commander of the 11th Regiment, and Qin Zhang, the commander of the 12th Regiment, and said: "Now we are surrounded by the enemy, the enemy's strength is dozens of times ours, and Zhuge Liang is very good at using troops, which should not be underestimated. If our army continues to move forward, I am afraid that we will not be able to meet Ganning's naval army smoothly. So I decided to find a place to fight the enemy and teach them a lesson, and then rush to rendezvous with Ganning. ”

"Everything is at the mercy of the gentleman." Du Ye and Qin Zhang hugged their fists.

"Okay."

Xu Shu pointed to a location on the map and said, "Forty miles to the west, there are many hills and rivers, which are most suitable for ambush warfare and positional warfare. Rush at once, and set up your position. ”

"No."

The two turned to leave.

Qin Zhang paused, turned around and said, "Sir... We don't have enough ammunition, so what's the use of building our positions well and strongly? Can it hold back the enemy's army of more than 100,000? ”

"How much ammo is left?"

Qin Zhang replied: "The 12th regiment of the last general has less than 10,000 rounds of ammunition for small assault guns.... ”

"What about grenades and ammunition for large assault rifles?"

"Four thousand each."

Xu Shu's brows gradually relaxed, and he smiled indifferently: "There are so many ammunition and grenades, enough to hit a strong enemy..." ”

"Sir, it's only 10,000 rounds of ammunition, and the average soldier is less than 10 rounds, which... How can it be enough? The general wants to use some shells as mines, I wonder what Mr. thinks? ”

Xu Shu thought about it, and now he was surrounded by the enemy's army of more than 100,000 troops, and he didn't know if he could break through. Wouldn't it be a loss if you didn't break through, but didn't use powerful shells?

Anyway, there are less than fifty red-coated cannons in Gan Ning's army, and even if the shells are sent over, they won't be used that much.

Thinking of this, Xu Shu responded: "Okay, you can use two thousand first." ”

"Thank you, sir!"

Qin Zhang left happily.

Li Cunxiao and Li Yuanba were very unhappy. Why did the enemy let Qin Zhang and Du Ye put them as soon as they came?

Xu Shu said: "Our enemy, there are 150,000 people, even if we run out of ammunition, it is impossible to wipe out all the enemy. The two generals must be ready to meet the battle at any time and inflict heavy losses on the enemy! ”

The two grinned, clasped their fists and said, "Sir, don't worry, we will not be dishonored!" ”

............................

The situation on the entire battlefield is very obvious.

Zhuge Liang would rather give up attacking Ganning's water village, but also encircle and suppress Xu Shu first, it can be seen that Xu Shu's 2,000 men and horses have long been valued by him, or have been valued by him, and need to use a full 150,000 soldiers and horses to encircle and suppress.

But he didn't know how terrifying the enemy he was facing. The grenades and shells of the 11th and 12th regiments, what casualties would have inflicted on his army. Li Cunxiao and Li Yuanba, two crazy people, how strong are they?

What's more important is that the defense line of Guyang Mountain is lost, and Lu Bu's army is about to drive over.

The iron cavalry and chariots of Bai Qi, Zhang Liao, and Cao Cao also entered Jiangxia, and they could be put into the battlefield in the blink of an eye. If the war can't be ended within two days, then it will not be Xu Shu who will be surrounded, but Zhuge Liang.

Forty miles away.

In a Qiu forest with complex terrain, Qin Zhang's 12th Regiment was the first to arrive and built two strong defensive lines. Subsequently, Xu Shu with the 11th regiment also arrived in Qiu Lin and joined Qin Zhang.

Xu Shu looked at the sky, it was about to get dark, and ordered Qin Zhang and Du Ye to step up their defenses.

"Sir, don't worry, the terrain here is complicated, condescending, easy to defend and difficult to attack, Zhuge Liang will not attack at night." Qin Zhang said.

"He's coming tonight!" Xu Shu said with certainty.

Qin Zhang: ".... ”

"You'd better brace yourself and don't let the enemy take advantage of the opportunity to break through the defenses." Xu Shu admonished, came to the east of the entire defense area, and said: "Although there is a river in the east, the river is not deep, and the enemy can easily come over. ”

"Qin Zhang, Du Ye, do you have a way to deal with it?"

Du Ye said: "The last general has been fortified on the north bank of the river, and the enemy will not come." ”

Xu Shu observed carefully for a while, and snorted coldly: "With the defense area you set up, can you stop 10,000 iron horses?" The enemy came with a charge. I suggest that you abandon your positions on the north bank, because the north bank is too open and too extensive, and we have few soldiers to defend it. Lean your 11th regiment towards the 12th regiment and shrink your defenses as much as possible. It's like a human hand, only when you clench it first, and then you can have strength when you hit it, understand? ”

"The last will understand. It's just a position on the north bank, which can be regarded as a line of defense, so let the enemy come over like this? Du Ye asked.

"Of course you can't just let them come." Xu Shu smiled and looked at the distance, and instructed Du Ye: "Go and call Li Cunxiao and Li Yuanba." ”

"No."

Li Cunxiao and Li Yuanba came running and asked anxiously, "Sir, are you going to send us to fight?" ”

"Hmm. I'm going to send you to defend against Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, I don't know if you dare to go? Xu Shu asked this, completely doubting their ability. What does it mean to dare to go? Can you not dare to go?

Li Cunxiao gasped and said, "Sir, look at it, I must have cut Guan Zhang with my own hands!" ”

"Your mission is to garrison the river to the north, so that the enemy cannot attack and kill you..." Xu Shu patiently explained to the two of them, and then asked Du Ye to send a platoon of soldiers to follow Li Cunxiao and Li Yuanba to act together.

"No need for a helper." Li Yuan was domineering.

"It's okay to go, but don't do it, just watch the excitement..." Li Cunxiao said.

The two of them looked arrogant, and they didn't pay attention to Du Ye's soldiers at all.

Night falls.

Zhuge Liang's tens of thousands of troops took the lead in rushing to the defense area of the 12th Regiment and launched a fierce charge against the 1st Battalion of the 12th Regiment.
