After Wang Xu finished scolding, he saw that Zhang Jing and Zhou Zhi were a little overwhelmed, and he also knew that he was too excited. couldn't help but take a deep breath, quickly suppressed the panic in his heart, and said calmly: "Go, Zhou Zhi, you take a few big axe cavalry to the boundary bridge as fast as possible, and be sure to let Xu Huang return quickly." Zhang Jing, you and I will gather the generals and prepare to retreat! ”

Hearing this, both of them were a little silent, Zhang Jing hesitated for a long time, but couldn't help but say, "Boss, is it really like this?" Seeing that the yellow turban of Ganling Kingdom in the east is almost unable to hold on, as soon as it is broken, we will join forces with Huangfu Song, and we can easily take Guangzong. Now that it's gone, let it catch its breath, and I don't know how much effort it will take in the future. ”

"Hey!" Sighing deeply, Wang Xu also shook his head helplessly: "This is also something that can't be helped, Zhang Lie will definitely do it before the rout of the Yellow Turban in the East." We are not prepared, and we don't even know where the other party is, if his heavy cavalry suddenly rushes out during the decisive battle of the army, or cuts off our retreat, this Jizhou is a large plain, what do we use to resist? ”

Zhou Zhi and Zhang Jing also understood that this was the truth, sighed, and said no more. Seeing this, Wang Xu was no longer verbose, and immediately said, "Let's go!" If you don't hurry, maybe the situation will change. ”

As soon as the words fell, the curtain of the big tent was suddenly opened, and the sect member strode in with a pale face, and opened his mouth and said, "General, something is not good!" ”

The moment he saw the sect member come in, Wang Xu's heart jumped a few times, because the sect member had a calm personality and rarely broke into the camp so abruptly. After hearing his words, Wang Xu affirmed his hunch, and he gradually calmed down when he knew that something had happened. asked lightly: "Say, where is the defeat!" ”

The sect member was stunned for a moment, and seemed to be very surprised that Wang Xu would ask this, but he was not in the mood to understand, and immediately said eagerly after reacting: "Just now Guangping came to report, Ji Ze was lost, Guo Taishou is under the desperate protection of Zhang He Gaolan, and has now retreated to Guangnian with the defeated army. The Gao Shunbu of Ceying was also defeated, but because of his quick reaction, he had already retreated to Guangping after helping Guo Taishou escape. At present, Zhang Liang has besieged the city in two ways, and the two counties of Guangnian and Guangping are in danger. ”

Guessing that this was the case, Wang Xu sighed secretly in his heart, understanding that it was too late to retreat now. But his face was impassive. After thinking about it very calmly, he suddenly asked, "What is the specific battle situation?" How much is the loss? ”

According to the information from Gao Shun, when they were resisting another full-scale offensive by Zhang Liang, they were suddenly attacked by nearly 30,000 cavalrymen and horses wrapped in iron armor, so they were defeated. The exact damage is not yet known, but it should be severe. Guo Dian's soldiers and horses were completely disabled, although he was better, he still had considerable losses, and his subordinates were also extremely panicked. Moreover, several captain-level generals were killed in this battle, but because of the melee at that time, he didn't know who died, only that several soldiers and horses were completely dispersed and lost their command. But fortunately, the main generals and several deputy generals of the two armies escaped by luck. Saying that, the sect member hesitated for a long time, looked at Wang Xu, who was expressionless, and then continued in a somewhat low voice: "He also asked the young general to bring you two sentences." ”

"What?"

"Within five days, Quang Binh will not be lost! Heavy riding elite, don't come to the rescue! Break the corner, the world can be determined! ”

Hearing this, Wang Xu took a deep breath, but didn't say much, and instead asked, "What about another sentence?" ”

This time, the sect member also let out a sigh, and his words were full of vicissitudes. "Find a woman named Zhang Yao in Xihe County, Bingzhou for him, and say I'm sorry!"

Silence, only silence is left at this moment!

As Zhou Zhi suddenly called out "master" in confusion, Wang Xu closed his eyes tightly, his teeth were tight, and his fists were clenched. After a long time, he suddenly said hatefully: "Let him live to say this!" ”

As he spoke, Wang Xu's face suddenly revealed a touch of fierceness, and he said with a murderous awe: "Three days!" Within three days, I will defeat Gwangjong! ”

"This ......" Seeing Wang Xu's appearance at the moment, although he knew that the other party was angry, he still couldn't help but say: "General Wang, I hope you calm down." This matter is better to think in the long run, it is a matter of life and death for tens of thousands of soldiers, and it is not hasty! ”

Hearing this, Wang Xu's face softened slightly, but he shook his head and said: "General Zong, it's not that you are making an arbitrary decision, but that we have no way out of the current situation. If my army returns to the army at this moment, not to mention whether it can deal with the nearly 30,000 ironclad cavalry that suddenly appeared, Zhang Jiao will also take advantage of the situation to attack, and at that time, what should we use to resist the enemy on our backs? Therefore, Gao Shun's words are not wrong, the only way to reverse the defeat at present is to break through Guangzong. ”

The sect member thought seriously for a moment and understood the truth, but he couldn't help but remind: "General, what if the ironclad cavalry of the other party ignores it, and directly crosses the two cities of Guangping and Quzhou with Zhang Liang's light cavalry and rushes to the rear flank of our army?" ”

Wang Xu really didn't think about this problem, and couldn't help frowning, Zhang Jing on the side saw that Wang Xu was a little troubled, but immediately interjected: "Actually, it's easy for him to go deep alone, this cavalry was personally formed by me, so I know his shortcomings very well." They were faster than foot soldiers, but much slower than light cavalry, and their stamina was relatively short, and they were unable to attack any fortifications, and their power was mainly displayed by sudden charges when the two armies were engaged. So, if you don't have a large number of light cavalry and pawns to cover, it's not impossible to cope! We only need to let Lu Weiheng of Quzhou closely monitor the various intersections and determine the information on their appearance, and we can find an opportunity to annihilate them. And as soon as they left, the greatest suppressive power of the yellow turban on Guangnian and Guangping was gone. With the abilities of Gao Shun, Zhang He, and Gao Lan, they will also seek opportunities to turn the situation around. ”

Hearing Zhang Jing's words, Wang Xu suddenly nodded again and again: "Yes!" Zhang Jing's words are good. Zhou Zhi, you go and order the heralds to set off now, and you must pass it as quickly as possible. ”

"Okay! Top dog. Zhou Zhi knew that the situation was urgent, so he didn't say much, so he answered and ran out of Wang Xu's camp.

After Zhou Zhi left, the sect member thought about it, but still asked uneasily: "This idea is very good, but I don't know how to break the enemy?" ”

Hearing this, Zhang Jing smiled, but turned his head to look at Wang Xu, who was also a little puzzled, and said, "Boss, you know the biggest disadvantage of this kind of cavalry, so I won't say more." But there is one thing I want to warn of, that is, although they are wearing full-body armor, it is actually the same as the set on you, which is just a revised version of the Mingguang armor. Therefore, it is not very difficult for the current bow or crossbow to penetrate, they are forgeries after all! As for the horses, they are actually covered with scale armor, which can also be killed, so as long as there is no frontal contact battle, it is not a big problem. ”

As soon as these words came out. But Wang Xu immediately reacted: By the way, he always thought about the heavy cavalry, but he didn't expect that the genuine heavy cavalry was wearing plate armor, and sometimes he would wear another layer of chain mail inside, so the protection was super strong. But the manufacture of plate armor has high technical requirements, and in the current situation, how can it be made without people who are proficient in this way for ten or eight years of technical research. If it is plate armor, with the current power of the bow and crossbow, it must be penetrated at a very close distance, so it is impossible to carry out large-scale frontal damage, and can only take advantage of its bulky shortcomings to win by tricks. But wearing Mingguang armor is different, even if you shoot it into a hedgehog, it is not difficult.

Thinking of this, Wang Xu was also relieved. However, after thinking for a moment in confusion, the sect member on the side asked with some puzzlement, "This...... You said that a crossbow can kill enemies, but what does this fake mean? ”

Hearing this, Wang Xu and Zhang Jing glanced at each other, and they couldn't help laughing. But Wang Xu didn't explain much, but instead opened the topic and said: "Since this is the case, then we will let Xu Huang return to the army, lead all the cavalry in the army to dig a few trench hooks behind us, and set up as many wooden stakes as possible." If the heavy cavalry comes, we will use these trenches and stakes to block them, and then shoot them with bows and crossbows, and I will make all their heavy cavalry live targets. ”

But as soon as he finished speaking, the sect member asked again: "Then what if Zhang Jiao goes out of the city to cooperate?" ”

"This ......" sect member always asks a key point every time he asks a question, which really gives Wang Xu a headache.

"It's easy!" At this moment, the voice of the frustrated professor suddenly came, and he slowly walked into the tent with Zhou Zhi in the surprised eyes of everyone. After smiling and glancing at everyone, he calmly continued: "Guangzong City has been blocked from contact with the outside world by us, according to what you said just now, it only needs the main attack of the crossbowmen, plus a light cavalry strategy. The rest of our soldiers and horses will attack the city with all their might, and send a fierce general to lead the cavalry to block the rest of the city gates, as soon as he kills out, he will immediately meet the enemy, and if he can kill his main general, he will be killed, and if he can't, he will fight, and only need to delay time. ”

After speaking, Fu Zhu looked at Wang Xu and the sect member with a puzzled face: "Why do the two generals look down on the thieves so highly? The only threat, the so-called ironclad cavalry, has a way to deal with it, and the current Yellow Turban Thief is still the end of the crossbow. Moreover, Zhang Jiao is seriously ill, and his remnant generals are also lounge rice bags, and their morale is low, the army has no fighting spirit, and the combat power is far inferior to the elite of our soldiers, so why be afraid? It is enough for us to keep the morale high by hiding the news of the attack on the rear of the soldiers. ”

After listening to the frustrated words, the sect member was silent for a long time, but he still shook his head and said: "I still think this matter is very dangerous, after all, our army does not have many troops, and it will really be regarded as a death at that time!" ”

In fact, Wang Xu also knew that this two-sided method of facing the enemy was very risky, but now there is really no way. The retreat in the west was cut off, and the east could not be crossed, although the army could not escape or go north, but he really couldn't watch Gao Shun and others die in vain in the back, sacrificing tens of thousands of soldiers for his escape.

"General Zong, I have made up my mind about this matter, and I will live after death, and we will fight this battle. The bet is on the elite of our soldiers, the bet on the talent of the generals, and the bet on the yellow scarves that there are no more capable people. Go ahead! Everyone went down to prepare, and in an hour I personally led the army to attack the city! ”
