After a night's hard work, instead of destroying the enemy army, they have suffered heavy losses, and more importantly, they are still in danger, and no one knows whether the Huainan cavalry will continue to attack them tonight. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Guo Shicong's face turned pale, obviously a little flustered, and Su Zhihe on the side was also depressed, he didn't expect such a result in the end.

"General, the last general has just checked, and those seriously injured people are basically gone, so let's give them a good time. Otherwise, it will affect the morale of our army," Shen Yingjie came over at this time and said in a low voice.

When Guo Shicong heard this, he turned to look at the rest of the soldiers, only to see that their faces were full of panic, and he couldn't help but wake up, knowing that the reason why the Huainan army did not kill the wounded who were left behind was obviously to use the tragic situation of these people to hit the morale of the rest of the Wuhu army, so he immediately nodded in agreement with Shen Yingjie's proposal and sent someone to deal with it.

However, this is not the time to relax, the Huainan cavalry may attack them again at any time, and at this time they can only be safe by returning to their previous camp to defend themselves, and they will always be threatened in the field.

"The generals obeyed the order, took those lightly wounded soldiers and returned to the camp immediately, and did not stay." Guo Shicong immediately ordered.

Although he was anxious this time and wanted to return to the camp immediately, everyone knew that the enemy army could attack at any time, and if he was in a hurry at this time, he might be taken advantage of by the enemy, so Guo Shi walked slowly along the way, and kept stopping to reorganize the formation.

Just as Master Guo was worried about returning to the camp, there was chaos on the camp.

Previously, when Guo Shi wanted to surround the Huainan cavalry from three routes, he only left more than 300 heavy soldiers in the battalion, but he did not expect to be attacked by the Huainan cavalry at this time. These baggage soldiers were originally responsible for escorting grain and grass baggage, and they were not good at fighting, and after being raided, they scattered and fled.

"Leave the fleeing enemy troops alone, hurry up and set fire to the enemy's baggage!" Hou Zan ordered loudly.

After defeating the Su Zhi River, they quickly marched north to defeat the enemy army left behind the broken north, and then slaughtered the enemy camp non-stop, taking advantage of the enemy's return to the camp to capture this place.

Guo Shicong led the rest of the army cautiously all the way for fear of being attacked again, but he didn't know that they had 3,500 people gathered together at this time, and they were careful to take precautions, how could Yang Wu attack them again in this situation? On the contrary, it was easy to take the opportunity to capture their camp.

Lighting fires everywhere in the camp, until it was confirmed that the fire could completely burn the enemy's baggage, Hou Zan ordered a retreat, quickly left the camp, and disappeared into the night again.

To the east, Guo Shi and other generals looked at the raging fire coming from the direction of the camp and couldn't help but chill. There was a hoarding of all the baggage carried by the army, and it was burned by the enemy.

If it is in peacetime, even if the baggage they carry is burned, it is nothing, after all, they are now fighting on the inside line, and the supply line for transporting grain, grass and baggage is not long, and it is convenient to transport. But at this time, the burning of the baggage was very demoralizing for them, and the soldiers were already panicking, and they were afraid that they would panic even more.

In addition, the burning of the camp meant that they had to build a new camp tonight, and no one dared to camp in the wilderness at this time.

After the worried Guo Shicong led the army back to the camp, he could only send people to put out the fire while trying to rescue the grain baggage in the face of the fire that was still not extinguished. After the fire was finally extinguished, they counted and found that the food they had grabbed was barely enough for the soldiers to last for four or five days, which was a great blessing in misfortune.

However, Guo Shicong breathed a sigh of relief and became more worried at the same time, the soldiers were tired enough from running back and forth tonight, and they would continue to be vigilant to prevent the enemy from launching another surprise attack. If this situation continues for two more days, I am afraid that the army will collapse before the enemy army comes to attack.

However, the expected attack did not come, and the soldiers spent a tired night in terror.

Midday.

Yang Wu set up a large camp on the bank of the river about five miles away from the camp where Guo Shi was from.

Although the Huainan Army suffered little losses in the First World War last night, it was also very tired after running back and forth in the middle of the night, and came here to rest after burning down the enemy camp.

In Yang Wu's opinion, the enemy army was already a frightened bird at this time, and he would definitely be vigilant all the time last night, so there was no need to continue to attack. After the continuous attacks in the past few days, although the Wuhu army was very tired, the Huainan cavalry was not much better, so it was better to take the opportunity to rest.

Yang Wu was also very tired during this time, and he didn't wake up until now after sleeping last night, he heard someone talking in a daze, and hurriedly opened his eyes. He saw Hou Zan whispering to a few scouts not far away.

Seeing Yang Wu wake up, Hou Zan hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Shizi, the scout went to check just now, and the enemy army has not set off until now, it seems that I was tired enough last night." ”

Yang Wu waved his hand, invited the two of them to sit down, and asked with a smile, "Haven't you left yet?" Do you want to take a good rest before you set off? ”

"In the morning, our scouts captured a few prisoners, it seems that they were a messenger sent by Master Guo to Xuanzhou to ask for help, and also found a letter addressed to Tian Yan. In the letter, Master Guo explained his difficulties in the past few days and asked Tian Yan to send someone to pick him up. However, although we killed a few messengers for help, there were still people who escaped to see the pursuit, and presumably Tian Jian would finally receive the news. Hou Zan said: "Shizi, this is the letter found, please take a look at it." ”

Yang Wu looked at the letter and saw that the content was similar to what Hou Zan said, so he shook his head with a smile and said: "This Guo Shi's ability is too mediocre, and I don't know how Tian Yan would let him be the main general." ”

"However, since he still dares to stay, it seems that the fire last night was not completely burned enough."

Hou Zan said: "After all, I didn't bring the ignition oil, and now it's spring, and the grass and trees have enough moisture and are not easy to burn, so it's normal to leave some baggage that hasn't been burned clean." ”

"What were the losses of our army in the First Battle last night, have you counted them?" Yang Wu asked again.

"Yes, our army lost more than 40 dead and wounded more than 80. These casualties were inflicted mainly on the offensive against the enemy army from the north. ”

Yang Wu nodded, although the enemy army in the north was only five hundred people, but the formation was tight, which caused some trouble to the attacking cavalry, but there was not much loss when attacking Su Zhihe and then attacking the enemy camp, which is the difference brought by whether there is a strict formation. Therefore, in the face of the enemy infantry in a tight formation, Yang Wu would not easily attack.

"What about enemy casualties?"

"The enemy army destroyed should be about fifteen hundred, but unfortunately there is not much time to continue to pursue and kill the rout, otherwise the enemy's losses will be even greater."

This is also something that cannot be helped, in order to seize the fighter plane and fight quickly, they did not entangle with the enemy army more, and as a result, a large number of defeated enemy troops were finally recollected by Guo Shicong.
