Go back five hours ago.

Thirty miles away from Wanling County, here is Li Zhijun's military camp.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, there were ten captains gathered, Qin Shuang stood in the first place, looking at Li Zhi on the main seat, he was extremely dissatisfied in his heart, today could have wiped out Wang Xu in one fell swoop, just a little bit, he had already killed Liao Yun's soldiers and horses, and was about to wave his army to kill Wang Xu, but he didn't want to receive the military order to retreat.

It's really infuriating, lamentable, and sad that this has fallen short!

Li Zhidao: "Let's analyze, what is the reason for our army's defeat today? ”

Qin Shuang rolled his eyes, does this still need to be analyzed, it was because of you that it caused such a consequence, but he didn't say it to his face, because he couldn't save Li Zhi's face.

Everyone didn't speak, and they all felt that Li Zhi's military order to retreat was early, and if it was half an hour late, the enemy army would be destroyed!

Li Zhi also knew his mistake, but at that time he was forced to do so, Sun Yu, Zhang Meng, Ye Xiong and others were in front of him, if he didn't retreat, he would have to fight the five masters alone, needless to say, just thinking about it made people shudder, so he felt that his order to retreat was not wrong.

Li Zhi took a deep breath and continued: "Sun Yu, Zhang Meng, and those three swordsmanship masters, these five people are the most powerful characters in Wang Xujun, in the future, we must be especially careful of these people, try to give full play to our strengths, and defeat Wang Xu with countless elite soldiers, there is no need to fight with them!" ”

"Today's defeat, the bad is bad on these five people, if the army is withdrawn a little later, it is estimated that the fate of the general will return to Jiuquan."

There were also many infantry captains beside Li Zhi in the big tent, and Li Zhi felt the same way, and said suddenly: "The general is right, especially Zhang Meng and Sun Yu, they really have the courage of ten thousand people, and we really can't be defeated." ”

"Okay, don't say anything superfluous" Li Zhi looked at Qin Shuang and said, "Tell me, what are the casualties of our army today?" ”

Qin Shuang thought for a while and said: "All the county soldiers sent from the counties were killed in battle, the 10,000 elites sent by the prince were killed and wounded as many as 2,000, and the elite cavalry also died as many as 2,000, so our army lost more than 9,000 people in this battle. ”

Li Zhi frowned and said, "In other words, we have 20,000 soldiers left to fight?" ”

"Yes, and there are thousands of wounded soldiers among these 20,000 people, and their combat strength is not as good as before." Qin Shuangdao.

Li Zhi walked back and forth a few steps, and said suddenly: "Don't report the battle situation here to Wang Cheng for the time being, how can the prince not blame such a big casualty." ”

Everyone nodded yes, but there was such a big battle, Wang Cheng really couldn't know?

"Forget it, don't talk about it" Li Zhi waved his hand.

His face suddenly became resolute: "Let the brothers rest for a day, and early in the morning after tomorrow, all the departments will work together to attack the city, not to break Wang Xu, and to swear not to return to the division!" ”

"No!"

The next morning, the sun was warm and it was a sunny day.

At the beginning of the hour, Wang Xu came to the hall of the mansion, but he didn't expect that as soon as he walked into the hall, everyone had already arrived, and they were waiting for him.

Today's Wang Xu looked a little weird, his face was full of red light, his face was radiant, as if he had met some happy event, he came to the seat and sat down, looked at the captains and commanders with sad faces in front of him, and suddenly smiled: "Don't worry, Li Zhi's army can be wiped out with a snap of a finger, I already have a countermeasure!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was surprised, now they all know the strength of the army in the city, the weak can't be weaker, how can the lord have such confidence?

Wang Xu thought about it all night last night, and really didn't come up with a countermeasure, but what he didn't expect was that when he got up in the morning, Wang Xu suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and the countermeasure actually came up with, like a providence, lingering in his mind, after countless drills, Wang Xu felt that this plan was very likely to succeed!

He didn't say a plan, because this plan needed to be carried out in secret, otherwise another rebel like Guan Qing would be over.

Wang Xu asked, "Huang Quan, has the number of casualties been counted?" ”

Huang Quan nodded, and said: "Our army originally had more than 18,000 people, plus the 4,000 people brought by Liao Yun, a total of 22,000 people, and in this battle, 15,000 people were killed, and there are 7,000 people left!" ”

"Ah, so many."

Although I had been prepared in my heart, when I heard the news at this time, everyone was shocked, fifteen thousand people, it's really not a small number!

"Do you know who the casualties are?" Wang Xu continued to ask.

Huang Quan said: "All the 4,000 people brought by Liao Yun were killed, all the 3,200 county soldiers of Captain Jiang Li were killed, and the 8,000 people were all the old department of our army. ”

"Heavy casualties" Wang Xu sighed, he had never suffered such a big loss.

Seeing that everyone lowered their heads, Wang Xuqiang laughed to himself: "You don't have to be so pessimistic, casualties in the war are inevitable, but I promise you that the brothers will not die in vain, because we can immediately break the enemy army, avenge them, and hate them with blood!" ”

The crowd was skeptical, and Nuo Nuo asked, "I don't know what the lord's plan is?" ”

"I can't say what the plan is for the time being, but you'll know in a few days."

Wang Xu looked at Huang Quan: "Tell me how much equipment our army has obtained." ”

Speaking of equipment, Huang Quan smiled: "Lord, this equipment has been captured by our army, which is enough to equip tens of thousands of troops!" ”

"300 war horses, 16,000 sets of armor, 20,000 spears, 23,500 horizontal knives, 2,000 bows, 30,000 arrow feathers, etc., and many scattered long knives and long swords, these are enough to equip 20,000 troops, and they are all excellent equipment!"

As soon as Huang Quan finished speaking, everyone's faces bloomed, they used to worry about this equipment, but now they don't have to worry about it, but there are fewer soldiers and horses.

"This is the capital we have to defeat Li Zhi's army!" Wang Xu said.

In fact, he said this sentence to himself, because in his strategy, there is a link that will use the 2,000 bows and arrows, and there are 30,000 arrows, Wang Xu is very happy, now he is much more at ease, with these, the strategy will be much more perfect.

In the past, when there were meetings, Zhang Meng was always in the first place, but now he was in the back corner, without saying a word, probably knowing that he had done something wrong, and it was difficult to explain, everyone was laughing, but he had a stinky face.

"Zhang Meng, are you guilty?" Wang Xu shouted suddenly.

A lieutenant touched Zhang Meng: "Brother Meng, the lord called you." ”

Zhang Meng came back to his senses, strode to the middle of the lobby, knelt down and said, "Lord, Zhang Meng is guilty." ”

"How to sin?" Wang Xu didn't let go, if this didn't suppress Zhang Meng's arrogance, this kind of disobedience to orders would often happen in the future, so he decided that he must take this opportunity to punish him well.

Zhang Meng immediately told him all about his crimes, these were all taught to him by Sun Yu last night, and it was very smooth to say at this time.

After Zhang Meng finished speaking, Wang Xu said angrily: "Yes, you know very well that it is precisely because of your recklessness that our army has lost tens of thousands of soldiers. ”

Standing up, Wang Xu shouted: "Where is the armor outside the door, pull Zhang Meng out, behead the public, and execute it immediately!" ”
