"En" Xi Zhicai groaned, and after a while, he said: "Although General Cheng won the battle and greatly deterred the enemy army, Ding Ling will definitely react quickly - there must not be many elite troops in my Dragon City. So they will definitely not be willing to fail and return in vain. So, General Cheng, what we need to enter now is to let the army rest, adjust and recover their physical strength, and prepare for battle. ”

Xi Zhicai originally planned to set up an ambush in the river valley to annihilate the enemy army. How do you know that the sky is not beautiful, and a sudden heavy rain made his plan completely useless. And now, although the heavy infantry corps has broken through the vanguard of Ding Lingren, it has also exposed his last reliance.

If the 5,000 people left by Xu Huang were cavalry, then Xi Zhicai had another plan to break Ding Ling. But helplessly, it was heavy infantry. And the enemy army was all cavalry. Compared with the two, the heavy infantry that is now exposed can only be used to defend the city, and it is difficult to make contributions in the field.

Cheng Pu nodded and said, "The only way to do this is to defend Dragon City." But don't worry too much. There are still 30,000 reservists in the city, and Ding Lingren, a nomad on horseback, is not good at attacking cities. Just wait until General Xu defeats the Xiongnu coalition army and turns around, hey, it's their last words! ”

is also as Xi Zhicai expected. In the big tent of Ding Ling, the frowning prince Ding Ling's eyes finally lit up, and his frowning brows suddenly relaxed.

"Don't worry!"

Looking at the somewhat gloomy generals, the eldest prince Ding Ling smiled slightly and said, "Although the Han people are strong, we are not without a chance to win!" ”

"The Han people can defeat 30,000 with 5,000, where does the eldest prince have the confidence to defeat such a powerful army?"

The generals were puzzled. However, knowing the wisdom of the eldest prince, these people were also angry with a sense of hope in their hearts, and they all brushed and looked at him with blank eyes.

"Do you remember to repay the details before the day?" The eldest prince smiled slightly and asked.

"Do you want to repay in detail?" The generals thought about it for a while, and one general said: "But what about Xu Huang, the defender of Dragon City, leading the army to fight against Heyun?" ”

"Exactly!" The eldest prince said: "Carefully said: Then Xu Huang will take away all the 90,000 troops of the elite main force of the Dragon City Lord!" ”

"But where did the Han army that the three chiefs encountered today come from?"

Someone asked.

"Naturally, it's Xu Huang's backhand!" The eldest prince said categorically: "In other words, in Dragon City, there are only these five thousand elite troops!" In other words, Dragon City, we can take it! ”

The generals were stunned.

"Yes, what the eldest prince said must be reasonable!" One of the three people who suffered a big loss at the hands of Cheng Pu stood up and said: "Today, the Han army that my vanguard encountered is infantry. They are all armor-covered iron cans, they are not fast, we are all cavalry, and now we know how powerful they are, just by fighting, they can disintegrate the enemy's advantage, and play to kill them! ”

"That's right! The Han people have a saying, with their own strengths, attack their shortcomings! My 100,000 troops are coming to the city, can't I take a small dragon city! The eldest prince stood up and said in high spirits: "You go down to appease the soldiers, and when the heavy rain stops, we will immediately raise our troops and march to kill the Dragon City, and avenge the three chiefs!" ”

"No!"

"Report, General, the enemy army is storming the city!"

"Probe!"

"Report, general, General Lu led the army to fight and harass on the edge!"

"Probe!"

Xu Huang stationed the army fifteen miles east of Heyun, and immediately sent a large number of scouts to explore the current situation of the Heyun battlefield.

Of course, the arrival of Xu Huangjun's army also made the hearts of King Huyan and other high-level coalition forces nervous, and gradually weakened the offensive.

Lu Bu was covered in dust, his robe and armor and his halberd were all dried up blood clots, only those eyes kept flashing with bloodthirsty light! Under his leadership, 5,000 light infantry surrounded the perimeter of the coalition army and harassed the coalition army, causing the coalition army to be in a mess.

At the beginning, the coalition army also sent a small force to exterminate it, but they were all lost in the hands of Lu Bu, and later the coalition army ignored it at all, closed the gate of the village, and let Lu Bu shout and release arrows, even if he lost a few soldiers guarding the village, he only didn't see it.

"It doesn't seem to work." Lu Bu thought in his heart as he looked up at the east. He didn't know that Xu Huang's army had arrived.

"Gotta think of another way!"

In the Xu Huang camp, in the main tent.

Lieutenants, generals, generals and other officers gathered here.

Xu Huang sat on the main seat, his bronzed beardless face was full of majesty.

"Everyone!"

Xu Huang put his left hand flat on his knee, stretched out his right hand and pointed to the west, and said in a deep voice: "There are more than 400,000 Xiongnu coalition troops, just ten miles away!" This general adheres to the will of the lord Yuyang King, and leads you to come here to raise the prestige of our Han country. Now how to break the enemy, you can speak freely! ”

All the generals pondered.

"General!" One of the generals hugged his fists and said: "The last general thinks, but now, there is no magic plan to speak of." ”

"Oh?" Xu Huang's eyes flashed, and he said, "General Zang Ba can explain the reason in detail." ”

This person is Zang Ba, who originally belonged to Lu Bu's strong generals, followed Lu Bu to vote for Liu Yuan, and then followed Lu Bu to serve under Xu Huang's account.

Zang Ba pondered for a moment and said: "Heyun is located at the junction of the West Sea and the Ganwei River, the terrain is very flat, to the east is the endless desert next to Yanran Mountain, and to the west is the Gobi Desert for hundreds of miles. There are no geographical conditions for the strategy to be carried out. Therefore, the last general thinks that he can only fight for his life with the enemy army, and there is no trick! ”

Xu Huang nodded slightly in his heart, but his face was not revealed, and he said, "Do you have any other opinions?" ”

"General! The last general agreed with General Zang's opinion! Besides, our army is strong, and hundreds of thousands of captives are no more than a rabble, and we will have the confidence to defeat the enemy head-on! ”

It was Lu Bu's relative who spoke, Wei Xu.

The generals in the tent also nodded in agreement, feeling that there was indeed no clever plan to easily defeat the enemy.

Xu Huang had thought about this question as early as when he was in Dragon City.

First of all, make a comparison between the two armies.

The Xiongnu coalition army had more than 400,000 people, while the Youzhou army Shanggu army had only 100,000 people.

The Youzhou army has strong standing strength and good equipment, while the Hulu coalition army has poor combat strength and poor equipment.

Let's talk about food and grass supplies.

Both sides are hundreds of miles away from the territory, and it is very difficult to supply grain and grass. The Youzhou army was better, because there were mercenaries to help transport grain and grass.

As for the three conditions of the right time, place and people, as well as knowing oneself and knowing the other, both sides are similar.

In other words, there are no shortcuts.

Xu Huang smiled slightly and said, "It is inevitable to fight a tough battle!" And victory is inevitable! However, it is not enough to defeat the Hun coalition army! ”

Hearing this, the generals perked up and stared at Xu Huang in unison.

"General Ben is confident that he can defeat the enemy, but what about after defeat? After all, our army has few soldiers, but it is difficult to achieve complete success! ”

The generals were stunned.

Indeed, the Upper Valley Legion had only 100,000 men, while the enemy army was four times as strong!

Just to defeat the enemy, the generals are confident. But after the break, the enemy army fled in all directions, how to catch up? How to take prisoners? It's really hard to build a full success!

"General Ben, like the lord, has always loved perfection. Although there is no perfection in this world."

Xu Huang said: "It's okay to defeat the enemy, the question is how to do it well!" ”

"So, General Ben has to make some arrangements here!"

Xu Huang stood up, turned around and pointed to the map hanging on the wall, and said: "This is Heyun, our army is stationed in Heyun for fifteen miles, the enemy army is stationed in Heyun west for fifteen miles, and our two armies are thirty miles apart. ”

"Five miles behind our army is the Ganwei River, and thirty miles south along the Ganwei River is the West Sea!"

"Look, this line!"

Xu Huang pointed to an arc about five miles west of the Xiongnu coalition camp and said, "If the Xiongnu coalition army is defeated, it will inevitably pass through this area." So"

"Cheng Lian!"

Cheng Lian stood up, clenched his fists and shouted: "The end will be!" ”

"I order you to lead five thousand light cavalry, set off immediately, make a detour to the rear of the enemy, and lie in ambush at the northernmost point of this arc, waiting for the enemy to be defeated!"

"No!"

"Hao Meng!"

"The last general!"

"Order you to lead five thousand light cavalry to lie in ambush fifteen miles south of Chenglian's army, and wait for the enemy army to disperse!"

"No!"

"Wei Xu!"

"The last general!"

"Order you to lead 5,000 light cavalry to ambush fifteen miles south of Hao Meng's army, and wait for the enemy army to disperse!"

"No!"

"Song Xian!"

"The last general!"

"Order you to lead five thousand light cavalry to ambush fifteen miles southeast of Wei Xu's army, and wait for the enemy army to disperse!"

"No!"

"Hou Cheng!"

"The last general!"

"Order you to lead 5,000 light cavalry, ambush fifteen miles southeast of the Song Constitutional Army, and wait for the enemy army to disperse!"

"You and the other five men, with a total of 25,000 light horsemen, set off immediately, occupy this arc, form a semi-encirclement, and block the way for the enemy to disperse. If the enemy's small force is let go, the large force will try to intercept it, force it to turn around and change course, and then gradually compress it back! The five of them must keep in touch at all times to ensure that this arc is not chaotic! Can it be done?! ”

Xu Huang's voice is sonorous and powerful.

"The last general obeys!"

"Zang Ba, and all of you, and follow General Ben to break the enemy army in one go!"

"No!"

The generals got up and promised with a bang!

"Order the army to rest and recuperate, eat and sleep, and start tomorrow to fight to the death with the Hulu coalition army!"

"No!"

Waving off the generals, Xu Huang took a long breath and squinted slightly, as if he was recuperating.

Suddenly, a guard came to report.

"Report, General, General Lu Bu asks to see you!"

"Oh?!"

Xu Huang's eyes opened suddenly, and in a flash, he stood up and said, "Has General Lu arrived?" Please let him in! ”

After a while, Lu Bu was dusty and strode in.

"General Xu!"

Lu Bu gave a military salute.

"Haha, General Lu, please take a seat!"

Xu Huang asked Lu Bu to sit down and said, "Xu is thinking about General Lu, and General Lu is here, hahaha"

Lu Bu also smiled slightly, and his stiff face showed a little awkwardness. After a few days of running and fighting, his face was tense all the time.

Lu just knew that the main force had arrived, so he rushed over immediately. General Xu, it's good that you arrived, otherwise Lu wouldn't be able to hold on! Lu Bu sighed: "It's been two days, and I don't know how the loss of the surname Cao and the army guarding the fortress is!" ”

"Hehe, our army has arrived, and the enemy will not dare to take it lightly, so from now on, the soldiers in the Heyun Fortress should be able to relax!" Although Xu Huang was smiling, he still frowned.

With an army of 5,000 to defend the fortress, and it was two days long. Although it is very elite, I am afraid that it will also lose a lot.

These soldiers are all soldiers trained by Xu Huang himself, and he is a little distressed to lose one!
