In a tentative manner, they organized a counterattack, but they did not expect that the effect was indeed outstanding. The cavalry of the Celestial Empire, which was completely hindered by the heavy snow, had a very limited ability to resist in the face of the counterattack of the infantry of the Rus Army, and was killed by more than 30,000 people at one time.

The victory in this battle greatly stimulated Utkin, Mikhail and others. Then they began a major counteroffensive.

The 300,000 cavalry of the vanguard legion, which was unable to give full play to the superiority of cavalry, suffered the largest casualties since its formation. After two days and one night of fighting, less than half of the 300,000 people were still alive.

Lu Bu watched many soldiers die in front of him, but he really had no way to rescue him, but he could only wipe his tears while ordering the army to retreat in the direction of Adan City.

The Rus soldiers pursued all the way, and killed tens of thousands of soldiers of the Vanguard Legion in a row, until finally Huang Zhong, the commander of the Second Legion, came to the rescue with the main force, which forced the Rus' army to retreat.

As soon as he saw Commander Huang Zhong, Lu Bu, who claimed to be a hero, shed tears and said: "Commander Huang, I'm unwilling, our soldiers have too many casualties, and most of them are caused by being stuck in heavy snow and unable to exert their strength, and many of them have lost their ability to fight because of frostbite." ”

Looking at the 300,000 cavalry who went out, only 1120,000 people have returned now, and most of the soldiers are suffering from frostbite, Huang Zhong also shed tears, he knows that in such a weather environment, it is not wise to fight with the Rus soldiers who are used to such a climate. Therefore, he quickly chose to retreat and retreated to the city of Adan and began to defend it.

In the northeast, the Vanguard Corps and the Second Army Corps and the offensive were thus terminated by heavy snow falling from the sky. In contrast, in the city of Nexus in the northwest battlefield, the Dragon Tiger Legion and the Sixth Legion were also stranded here.

Originally, after they captured the city of Nexus strongly, they were preparing to take the city of Beitki after taking it in Li, and approached the capital of the Rus' country, Great Rus' City. It was only snowing heavily that their march had to be stopped.

Although it was not hit hard like the Vanguard Legion, the Dragon and Tiger Legion and the Sixth Legion were also unable to advance, and all they could do was to hold on to Links City. However, in such an environment, the supply road is blocked, and in the long run, grain and grass will become the biggest problem.

Heavy snow fell from the sky, and the weather in the country of Rus' became colder, and the healthy horses in many of the city's horse pens needed to provide a large amount of food and grass every day in order to persevere. Without timely supply, the military food storage in the city is getting smaller and smaller, and the morale of the army has begun to become panicked.

The Dragon Tiger Legion and the Sixth Legion in Nexus City were slightly better off in this situation. In particular, the Dragon and Tiger Legion seems to be used to living a hard life, knowing that a penny is regarded as two petals, and it can barely support it. However, the Vanguard and Second Legions in Adan City had indeed begun to run out of food.

Since its establishment, the vanguard army has been at the forefront of the charge, and they are often invincible, invincible, in the creation of continuous success, the supply side has naturally never been in shortage, which makes them accustomed to the days of eating meat and drinking in large bowls.

But now, under the heavy snow, it is difficult to transport food, which makes their eating and drinking a great problem, seeing that his soldiers began to get sick and attrition because of food problems, Lu Bu couldn't help but find Huang Zhong, the commander of the Second Army.

"Commander Lu, please take a seat." Seeing that it was Lu Bu who came to his mansion, Huang Zhong had a flattered expression on his face. Although they are all in the same city, they usually meet and talk about things in the city lord's mansion, and this is the first time they have come to their own mansion like this.

Huang Zhong looked polite, and Lu Bu naturally wouldn't hold it up. Huang Zhong was the first group of people to follow Zhang Chao, and when it came to qualifications, he was not less than himself, he would not treat him with great trust, not to mention, there were still things to discuss when he came here today.

"Captain Huang doesn't have to be polite, I'm just stopping by to sit down." Lu Bu smiled and sat down in the guest chair.

As soon as the two sides settled down, Lu Bu began to talk about the various difficulties encountered by the legion, especially the problem of grain and grass, which made him sigh uncontrollably, "Commander Huang, don't hide it, I'm afraid that the food in our army can't hold out for even ten days." And now, the grain and grass are still far away, I really don't know how long we can survive like this. ”

"Hey, the problem faced by Commander Lu is also the problem encountered by our Second Army Corps, and we don't have much food, so if we continue like this, I'm afraid we will also face the problem of no food in the army. The weather is so cold, I can't imagine how long we can last without food supplies. When Huang Zhong said this, he was also constantly shaking his head, obviously looking worried.

Seeing Huang Zhong say the same, Lu Bu made up his mind, looked at no one on the left and right, and immediately stepped forward and whispered: "Commander Huang, I think so, even if the military food is insufficient, then why do we have to stay here?" It is better to withdraw from the city and retreat to the emperor's side, so that the problem of military rations will not bother us. ”

"What? Commander Lu wants to retire? But we didn't get the order, if we did this, we would have violated military law, and we would be punished severely, and once the city was lost, we would even be killed. Huang Zhong at this meeting was shocked, he knew that Lu Bu was very brave and brave, and he had always been known as the number one fierce general. It's just that I never thought that this person is not only brave in battle, but also so bold in doing things.

Seeing that Huang Zhong was about to jump up, Lu Bu hurriedly said, "Commander Huang, don't worry. I didn't say I was going to abandon the city, I thought so. There was heavy snow outside, and in such a situation, it must be extremely difficult for the Rus' army to advance and retreat, and it would not attack the city easily. In that case, why should we all stay in the city? This has no effect except to increase the burden of grain and grass consumption, rather than this, it is better for our two legions to retreat one of them, so that the consumption of military food will be reduced, not to mention, the city can also be held in the same way, isn't it beautiful? ”

In the final analysis, this is the main reason why Lu Bu is looking for Huang Zhong. To say that with his personality, it is natural that he will not retreat on the battlefield, and he also shows a big plan and considers it, the reality is that if he doesn't think of a way now, once he waits until there is no food in the city, he is afraid that it will be too late to find a way.

Huang Zhong knew Lu Bu, and because of this, he didn't get angry on the spot, and replaced it with someone else, I am afraid that he will be angry at this time, and he is considering whether the other party is cowardly.

It's just that although he didn't get angry, Huang Zhong still shook his head very firmly and said: "No, without the emperor's order, we can't withdraw the army privately, don't say that a legion has withdrawn, even a soldier can't retreat, otherwise it will be our dereliction of duty." ”

Huang Zhong said very resolutely, which made Lu Bu know that his idea would not work.

Don't look at the usual Lu Bu who is usually proud, but this is not without the people he is afraid of. It's like Zhang Chao's existence, which is the existence he fears.

This time, he also plucked up the courage to say such things to Huang Zhong. If the other party agrees, it is equivalent to a joint decision made by the two, even if it attracts Zhang Chao's dislike, at least it is a collective decision, not against him? But now Huang Zhong didn't agree, so he didn't dare to mention it.

"Okay, even if Captain Huang doesn't agree, then I didn't say it's okay. It's just that now that the snow is not falling outside, the road is still difficult to walk, and I can't imagine anyone else who will come to support us in such a situation. With his head down and a sigh, Lu Bu walked out after saying this.

Looking at the back of Lu Bu leaving, Huang Zhong didn't know what to say, and after standing there and hesitating for a long time, he went to the place where the military division was disciplined, he wanted to see how much food was still in the legion, and he was thinking about whether he could give some to the vanguard legion.

Heavy snow blocked the roads, making it difficult to transport food, which made it difficult to transport food in the city. No one knows how long this situation can last.

After another three days, when the hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the city had clearly begun to decline, a team of soldiers in black armor suddenly arrived outside the city.

Under such bad weather, there was still a large army coming, and Lu Bu and his military adviser Pang Tong, Huang Zhong and his military advisor Feng Ji all rushed to the city tower with a look of disbelief.

When they came to the bottom of the city tower and saw that the soldiers below were really their own people, and the general who walked in front was still the Wen Chou they knew, all of them showed excited looks on their faces.

"Look, it's General Wen, he also came with grain and grass, he must have brought us military rations." Lu Bu's eyesight was excellent, and after seeing the situation in front of him, he said excitedly and excitedly.

"Whew, whew!" Cheers rang out from all over the tower, and apparently the other soldiers had heard the news and had arrived, and they all became excited when they saw that there was really food and grass coming.

Lu Bu and the others even opened the city gate directly to welcome the arrival of Wen Chou's army.

Soon, in the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion, Wen Chou was introduced to the upper seat to rest, accompanied by Lu Bu, Pang Tong, Huang Zhong, and Feng Ji.

Wen Chou was only the deputy commander of the legion, and when he faced the four members of the main legion, including a first-class military general like Lu Bu, his face immediately showed an embarrassed look, "A few adults, what are you going to do, I don't have much fat on me." ”

As soon as he said this, he immediately caused the other four people to laugh out loud.
