Shucheng, Lei Bo has been attacking the Shu camp for three days in a row, and the casualties have exceeded 30,000, even if the lightly wounded are counted, there are only 41,000 soldiers and horses left in Lei Bo's hands at this time, but Lei Bo is not worried, because he knows that the Shu army on the opposite side has also suffered huge casualties, and the advantage of troops is still firmly in his own hands!

Lei Bo did not guess wrong, the casualties of the Shu army at this time were indeed very heavy, the Second Fleet of the Navy Army, the First Independent Brigade of the Navy Army, the Second Independent Brigade of the Cavalry, plus 3,000 personal guards, a total of 29,000 troops were only more than 18,400 at this time, and more than 4,000 light and serious wounded were still counted.

On the fourth day of the attack, only half a day had passed, and the Shu army had already lost more than 1,500 people, and Lu Su, who had no reserves, could only rely on the light and serious wounded and the people to guard the back and right flank of the battalion, and all the combatable soldiers were transferred to the front line to kill the Yuan army, and now Lu Su could only pin all his hopes on Gan Ning!

Just when Lu Su was looking forward to Gan Ning taking Hefei as soon as possible and forcing Lei Bo to withdraw his army, a team of Yuan troops who had lost their armor came to Lei Bo's tent, and the number of soldiers in this team was not much, only about 30, but it brought Lei Bo an extremely bad news, almost making him feel like five thunders hit the top - Hefei was attacked by the Shu army and fell into the hands of the enemy overnight.

"Yang Jie-" Lei Bo looked up to the sky and roared, he knew that Yang Jie was too much to use, so he did not take him to the front line, but arranged a more comfortable position for him, and ordered him to stay in Hefei, as long as Yang Jie used dim sum, five thousand elite soldiers in hand, Hefei was operated by Yuan Shu for several years, it can be described as solid, even if the Shu army attacked, it would take a few days to capture, before Yuan Shu and he had already received a report, the two reinforcements were advancing, and it was not a problem to cooperate with the defenders to encircle the Shu army. Knowing that Yang Jie was unusable, he also earnestly warned Yang Jie before setting off to be vigilant and not to be negligent, who knows...... Yang Jie obviously took his own reminders and admonitions as the wind in his ears!

"Alas! Blame yourself for underestimating the enemy, the Second Field Legion of the Shu Army has 200,000 troops, how can Lu Su only bring 30,000 soldiers and horses to fight my 80,000 male division? If you are careful, you will definitely be able to see the strangeness, so you can prepare early, and Hefei will not fall into the hands of the enemy so easily! Lei Bo sighed secretly.

With this remnant army came along with Chen Lan, who was ordered to besiege Shucheng, it turned out that this group of routs arrived at Shucheng, did not see Lei Bo, and told Chen Lan about the situation, Chen Lan was shocked and sad when he learned about it, so he personally brought these people to find Lei Bo, hoping to get a solution from Lei Bo's mouth.

Lei Bo ordered the defeated soldiers to be brought down, and ordered his own soldiers to prepare some food and wine for them, but they were not allowed to come into contact with other soldiers, nor were they allowed to talk nonsense.

After only Lei Bo and Chen Lan were left in the tent, Chen Lan hurriedly stepped forward and said: "General, the Shu army attacked Hefei, its intentions are very sinister, and its intention is to completely annihilate our army. Now that Hefei has been lost, our army's retreat is cut off, what should we do? ”

Lei Bo glanced at Chen Lan, and he became more and more disdainful of this deputy general who was frightened by Zhou Tai, and said, "Then what do you think should be done?" ”

Chen Lan said: "General, the last general thinks that after Hefei falls into the hands of the Shu army, our army will continue to stay in Lujiang is rootless, neither can get reinforcements, but also has no food and grass supply, even if the main force of the Shu army has not arrived, it will die due to the lack of food!" In order to save the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers of our army, the last general thinks that a decision must be made early! Chen Lan thought in his heart that it was good to directly descend to Shu, he knew that since the Shu army had blocked the main road in Hefei, he obviously did not plan to let himself go, if he couldn't get through the passage of Hefei, the tens of thousands of generals would only have a dead end, and he obviously didn't think that he could recover it with the more than 50,000 soldiers he had at hand now. And the discerning person knows at a glance that Yuan Shu has been isolated from the world because of his act of being the emperor, and the infamous Yuan Shu can be said to be defeated soon when the sun is waning, in this case, why should he be stupid to bury Yuan Shu? But Chen Lan didn't know Lei Bo's intentions, so he didn't dare to show his thoughts, he was worried that if Lei Bo had no intention of surrendering, once he showed his intention of surrendering, Lei Bo would immediately get rid of himself in order to avoid future troubles, so he didn't answer Lei Bo's rhetorical question positively, but just said the difficulties he faced, hoping that Lei Bo could think clearly and make the best decision.

If there were no nearly four days of bloody battles, maybe Lei Bo would still have the idea of surrendering to the Shu army, but after these four days of bloody battles, he judged that the Shu army that died in his hands was at least more than 10,000 people, and he and Shu, the generals and soldiers of Shu have formed a blood feud, if he took refuge in the past, and Shu settled accounts after the autumn, then wouldn't he have thrown himself into the net, so he quickly made a decision and said to Chen Lan: "Your Majesty is as kind to us as a mountain, how can we betray Your Majesty and be the disloyal and unrighteous person?" I decided to withdraw my troops tonight to recover the fertilizer, as for Lujiang, I have to take it another day! ”

Chen Lan sighed in her heart, she was really afraid of anything, why did Lei Bo choose this desperate path? However, at this time, Chen Lan did not dare to openly oppose Lei Bo's opinion, so she had to say euphemistically: "But with the current strength of our army, if you want to recover fertilizer, the success is not high!" ”

Lei Bo snorted coldly: "Hmph-even if I die under the city of Hefei, I have no complaints, not to mention that Your Majesty must have received the news that Hefei has fallen to the enemy, and at this time you will definitely send troops to recover it, and then our army will have the support of Your Majesty, and its strength will rise greatly, and there will be no problem in recovering fertilizer!" What's more, His Majesty has been in charge of Hefei for several years, and has a prestige among the people of Hefei, and the people of the city will be looking forward to my Dacheng to regain the lost land, with tens of thousands of people in the city to help, why not fear tens of thousands of Shu troops? ”

Chen Lan didn't think so, prestige? Didn't see it! The absurd and unscrupulous Yuan Shu practiced bloody and cruel rule in the ruling land, and expropriated and expropriated at the border of the "Dacheng" country to provide for his poor and luxurious life. But seeing that Lei Bo's intention to fight again was very strong, he didn't dare to mention it again, but secretly calculated his future in his heart.

Lei Bo said again: "You go back and pack up immediately, and after I evacuate, you will lead the troops to ......."

"The last general obeys!" Although she was very reluctant, Chen Lan still had no choice but to accept the order, and if she disobeyed before the battle, Lei Bo had the right to kill herself directly.

"After you go back, you must control all the people who know about the fall of Hefei, and do not let the news of the fall of Hefei spread among the soldiers, otherwise once everyone knows about it, the army's heart will inevitably be shaken, and if our army does not fight and chaos, you and I will die without a place to be buried!"

"The last general understands!"

According to the example of the previous three days, Lei Bo would order to attack the Shu army all the time, even at lunchtime, but today Lei Bo did not let the soldiers continue to attack the Shu army hungry, he ordered to temporarily withdraw the troops, light a fire and cook, so that the soldiers had a full meal.

"What is this Lei Bo doing? It's not been a while, why hasn't the attack been launched yet? Sima Lang said to Lu Su puzzled.

Lu Su also felt strange, Lei Bo was too abnormal today, and an hour had passed since lunchtime, but he had no plans to do it, this ...... Don't?

"Boda, do you think it could be that Xingba has already succeeded?"

"Oh......" After listening to Lu Su's words, Sima Lang thought for a while, and immediately said: "Yes, it must be so, only in this way can we explain why Lei Bo will strike the army, it is impossible for him not to see the reality of our army, as long as he attacks for another day or two, our army will be defeated, how can he miss such a good opportunity in vain?" The only explanation is that Hefei has fallen, and he can no longer spend his precious troops here, he wants to keep his troops to recover fertilizer! ”

"Hmph, it's a fool's dream, Xingba has 45,000 elite soldiers in his hands, how many people are left of him now? Not to mention anything else, there is a First Fleet, and unless he has wings, he can't even pass the water! ”

"Yes! If I change it, since I know that Hefei cannot be taken, it is better to give up Hefei for the time being, storm our army camp, and then return the division to attack Shucheng, coerce Lu Kang to surrender, and solve the worries, and then the soldiers are divided into two roads, all the way to the city, all the way north to Hefei, contact Yuan Shu to attack Hefei, there is no hope of survival! ”

Lu Su said with a smile: "Yes, if you retreat at this time, it is equivalent to giving the Lujiang River to our army, and it is also equivalent to leaving the back to us. ”

"Haha, that makes sense...... Then let him go! Sima Lang laughed.

"What if you don't let him go? We don't have anyone left! Lu Su said with a smile.

"What are you afraid of, Wen Yuan's army should also arrive, and then ...... Haha......"

"Haha......"
