The flag commander who knew that the situation was urgent, didn't even bother to hug his fist to Zhao Wei to lead the troops, but he hurriedly agreed, and couldn't help waving the order flag in his hand to convey Zhao Wei's message.

……

"General, the reinforcements of the Chu army are coming, should we also ask for reinforcements, so that all these thieves who invade my territory will become food for fish and turtles in the river!" Seeing that thousands of Chu army reinforcements were slaughtered under the command of the army marshal Li Erniu, which deputy general who followed Zhang Dingbian not only did not show horror on his face before the battle, but also confidently said to Zhang Dingbian like this.

However, after hearing his bloody nonsense, Zhang Dingbian glanced at him coldly, and then couldn't help but calmly say to the herald beside him: "Order all armies, retreat immediately, don't fall in love!" ”

"Yes!" The herald beside him also suffered several wounds at this time, but when he heard Zhang Dingbian's order, he still responded with confidence.

Then, the herald on Tianwan's side also couldn't help waving the order flag in his hand and conveyed Zhang Dingbian's military order.

Then, without waiting for Li Erniu to lead the army to arrive, the Tianwan army, which had already achieved brilliant results, couldn't help but hug Zhang Dingbian's flagship and swaggered back to his water village.

……

"Marshal, I've found General Wang. General Wang did not die in battle, but the small boat he was in was unfortunately swept into the bottom of the river. ”

"Okay, since this waste is not dead, then bring him to me immediately!"

"Yes!" Seeing his marshal's angry look at this time, the personal soldier who reported the news naturally didn't dare to say anything more. So he hurriedly agreed, and he couldn't help but let people bring Wang Nineteen, who was lucky enough to fall into the water and not die, into the camp tent.

"The last general, meet the marshal!" After struggling to swim ashore from the river, Wang Shijiu didn't even have time to change his clothes, and was taken into the camp tent in an embarrassed manner.

Then he was brought into the camp tent, and when he saw Zhao Wei with an angry face on his face, he was frightened and ashamed, so he couldn't help but knock his head heavily on the ground, and didn't dare to get up.

"You waste, the soldiers and horses are almost twice as long as the end of the sky, but you still fought like this, you really lost the face of the commander and the face of the king!" Seeing Wang Nineteen with an embarrassed posture, Zhao Wei, who was already angry, couldn't help but become more and more angry.

So he scolded angrily, and casually picked up the teacup on the table, and fell on Wang Nineteen's head at once.

"Smack!" The teacup that was still out of the heavy fell into pieces all of a sudden, and Wang Shijiu's head couldn't help but be smashed with a big wound.

The blood just ran down Wang Nineteen's forehead, but the frightened Wang Nineteen didn't even dare to move at this time.

"Waste, waste. Since the establishment of the Flying Tiger Army, he has never suffered such a defeat! Thinking of the more than 2,000 Chu army athletes who were killed and injured in vain in this battle, under the heartache, Zhao Wei, who was even beaten and scolded, couldn't help but be angry.

Therefore, after scolding in such an angry manner, he couldn't help but see him shouting at the military judge standing aside and asking: "What is the crime of being arrogant and arrogant as a general, causing the army to fail miserably!?" ”

"This ...... His sins, his sins deserve death! ”

"Good. Come on, then pull this waste down to Ming Zhengzheng for punishment! ”

"Uh......" Hearing this, Wang Nineteen, who was kneeling on the ground, couldn't help but raise his face covered with blood.

looked at the angry Zhao Wei with a pale face, but in the end he buried his face on the ground and didn't say a word.

However, at this time, although Wang Nineteen looked like he was resigned to his fate, the military marshals and division commanders in the tent, who were also from the Inspection Division, couldn't help but kneel on the ground and began to intercede for Wang Nineteen.

"Marshal, although the nineteenth army was defeated this time, I still ask the marshal to remember the past and spare the nineteenth life."

"Ask the marshal to be unjustified, and ask the marshal to be unjustified!" A group of more than a dozen generals knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

However, seeing this, Zhao Wei couldn't help roaring angrily, and shouted at the pleading generals: "Why, do you still want to coerce Ben Shuai because of this!" ”

"This, I don't dare to wait!" Hearing Zhao Wei's heart-wrenching words, such as Li Erniu and Deng Hu, they naturally didn't dare to intercede for Wang Nineteen.

So they just knelt on the ground one by one, not daring to make a sound.

However, by this time, the anger in Zhao Wei's heart had already dissipated most of it, so after waving his hand to signal Li Erniu, Deng Hu and others who were kneeling on the ground to intercede for Wang Shijiu, could stand up from the ground, Zhao Wei looked at Wang Shijiu, who was bleeding, and couldn't help but say to him: "Get down, take thirty military sticks yourself." His sin will be punished after the war! ”

"Yes, the last general, Marshal Xie!" Hearing Zhao Wei's words, he was overjoyed when he heard the words, and Wang Shijiu, who felt that he had been spared, couldn't help but hurriedly kowtow and agree.

Then, without waiting for Zhao Wei to speak again, his people couldn't help but withdraw from the camp with their heads down, and went to lead the army with their own sticks.

"Although this battle was lost, it was only a small setback for our army. Therefore, in your hearts, there is no need to worry about this. After returning to the camp, when they do their part and appease the generals under their tent, he will repay the day to the end of the day! ”

Waiting for Wang Nineteen to retreat from the tent as if he had picked up a life, Zhao Wei, who was sitting on the top of the handsome position, glanced at the generals under the tent who were no longer sharp, and in order to stabilize people's hearts, he couldn't help but say so confidently to the generals in the tent.

And when Li Erniu, Deng Hu and other generals heard Zhao Wei's words, Marshal Zhao Wei, who was furious when he saw him again, had already returned to his former calm posture, and his heart couldn't help but become stable again.

So when Zhao Wei's words fell, they couldn't help but nod their heads one after another.

Then the group saluted Zhao Weiqi again, and they couldn't help but withdraw from the camp in turn.

……

"General, this Tianwan Army on Huangzhou Road is determined to be a shrinking turtle. No matter what the soldiers do outside, this group of cowardly guys just won't come out! "Also at this moment, on the side of Huangzhou Road, Zhang Mingtong, who commanded the Long Xiang Army to attack Tianwan by land to assist the main road water army, also encountered some trouble at the beginning.

Because the previous mobilization of troops, horses, money and food was too huge, Da Chu's attack on Tianwan lost its suddenness.

Knowing that the Chu army would attack their soldiers and horses on the Huangzhou Road, they couldn't help but take the initiative to give up all their fronts in Siye, but mobilized all the soldiers and horses on the Huangzhou Road to the city protected by the city wall.

And in this way, Zhang Mingtong, who is mostly a pawn under the tent, can't help but have a feeling of "dog bites hedgehog - no way to mouth" for a while.

The cavalry has never been good at attacking cities, so even if Zhang Mingtong has a great advantage in terms of troops, if he fights hard from Huangpi to Macheng to Huanggang, even if he can conquer these cities one after another with water grinding kung fu, the casualties and time of the troops will be too large and too long.

So in this way, Zhang Mingtong looked at Huang Picheng, who was stuck on the road he had to pass, and was silent for a long time, and finally couldn't help but give a military order to the subordinates around him who were annoyed because of this.

"Leave a division of soldiers and horses to watch the defenders in this Huangpi City. The rest of the people, with all the bread of the five days, and I bypassed the city and went straight to Huanggang! ”

"Well, General, if this is the case, the army will be completely cut off from supplies if it goes deep alone. If the five days of food are exhausted, we should ...... again."

"Do you still need me to tell you the truth about food and the enemy?"

Impatiently interrupted the words of his subordinate generals, Zhang Mingtong's face couldn't help but look a little ruthless at this time.

Seeing him like this, the general couldn't help but hurriedly close his mouth.

It can be said that the army's fighting in enemy territory is the most common and effective way to solve the logistics supply of the army.

In addition, this time is the day when the autumn grain harvest is not long in coming, and most of the soldiers and horses led by Zhang Mingtong are horsemen who come and go like the wind. Therefore, food and the enemy are indeed the best way to resolve the current predicament.

But the so-called food and the enemy, in fact, the food does not come from the enemy, but the villagers who come to the countryside and do not live in the city.

Therefore, one can imagine what will happen to these people when they are deprived of their subsistence rations by the army.

At the beginning, Zhang Mingtong did not plan to do this.

After all, this side of Huangzhou Road has been regarded as his own bag by Da Chu, not to mention, the villagers living on Huangzhou Road are all Han people.

has followed his own king for so many years, and has been influenced by the national ideas that his own king often reveals, which really makes Zhang Mingtong feel guilty and uneasy in his conscience.

But now, he really can't care about so much.

Although Tianwan's side is indeed far inferior to Da Chu in terms of overall strength, as a powerful force that also has millions of Dingkou under his rule, Tianwan is definitely not something that can be kneaded by Da Chu.

Therefore, if you want to win Tianwan, and take advantage of this victory to win the entire Jiangxi Province, so as to complete Zhang Shihua's strategic goal of unifying Jiangnan, this opportunity must not be missed.

Therefore, this battle must be resolved quickly.

Otherwise, once Chen Youliang coordinates the forces of all parties in the end of the day and mobilizes troops and horses from these forces, then there will undoubtedly be many unpredictable changes in this battle.

Therefore, Zhang Mingtong can't take care of the villagers in Huangzhou who have never known him.

After all, "mercy is not in charge of soldiers". Since the Taihe Uprising, he has been fighting with his own king in the south and north for so many years, and Zhang Mingtong, as the commander of the Great Chu army, has long been unable to know how many times he has seen life and death.

is an almost accustomed thing to life and death parting in my heart, and my heart has already been numb.

Therefore, when he made up his mind in his heart, Zhang Mingtong did not hesitate more. Therefore, early the next morning, he took the remaining 12,000 soldiers and horses from the first division of 3,000 soldiers and horses, and took the soldiers and horses for five days to bypass Huangpi City, and rushed straight towards Huanggang City, the seat of Huangzhou Governance.

……

"Kill, !!" The familiar shouts of killing resounded through the clouds again.

It can be said that these days, since the two naval divisions of Dachu and Tianwan officially fought on the river, such shouts and killings have never stopped.

In order to avenge the shame, the Chu Army Water Division, who seemed to be crazy, couldn't help but rely on his huge advantage in strength and launched an attack on Tianwan Water Village like a wheel war.

However, because of the adverse effects of the previous fiasco of the vanguard army, it can't help but make the attacks launched by the Chu army again and again in the past few days have not been able to take advantage of the morale-boosting Tianwan army.

Therefore, in this way, the Chu army, which is also a mortal in the flesh, can't help but gradually wear down its own sharpness in the battles again and again. made the war between the two sides gradually fall into a state of anxiety that Zhao Wei did not want to see.

"Damn, it's better to do it once, what a bunch of rubbish!" After the battle, seeing that his own soldiers and horses were attacking unfavorably, he was once again repelled by the stubbornly resisting Tianwan troops.

Zhao Wei, who has become more and more irritable due to the war these days, couldn't help but scold angrily in front of his subordinates.

But in the end, he was a veteran who was deeply valued by Zhang Shihua, so after scolding in anger, Zhao Wei couldn't help but take two deep breaths and forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart.

He knew that this was the case because the soldiers were exhausted from the continuous fighting.

And the main reason why this is the case is also because he, as a marshal, cannot blame his subordinate generals and soldiers.

However, although Zhao Wei understood this truth in his heart, the anger in his heart could not be suppressed.

It's been four days, and after the defeat of the Vanguard, the battle has been going on for four days.

In the past four days, the Chu army has launched more than a dozen attacks, but the result is still no breakthrough.

In this way, how could Zhao Wei, as a marshal, not be anxious or angry in his heart.

You must know that according to the spies from the Tianwan Capital, it was said that at this time, Chen Youliang had begun to mobilize troops and horses from all sides.

That is to say, in another four or five days at most, the reinforcements will arrive one after another.

Therefore, at this time, there is really not much time left for him Zhao Wei.

Therefore, even if he knew that it was time for his soldiers to rest and recuperate.

But after the unit that he scolded as "waste" retreated from the front line, he still threw another unit into the front line.

"The fight between the two armies is compared to courage and endurance, Ben Shuai doesn't believe it, the battle-hardened athletes under Ben Shuai's account will not be able to compare to you!" Zhao Wei was ruthless, and the war naturally started again.
