Chapter 339: Between Victory and Defeat

Baili Cheng was ordered to enter Beijing soon spread throughout the pickaxe capital, everyone knew that Baili Cheng was coming, but everyone did not know what the purpose of his trip was, so there were many speculations, Bai Li Cheng entered Beijing with a road of soldiers and horses, what is the way of this way, no one knows, have speculated, this news quickly gathered in the ears of the princes, including Bao Hongde who was far away in Yuanyang at this moment.

The soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty defeated the division of Beidi, Wen Shuo ordered his subordinates to begin to count the soldiers who died outside the city of Yuanyang, his mood at the moment is very complicated, it should be said that it is extremely heavy, this battle is too hard to win, the price is also very large, and even sacrificed the life of the duer, for Wenshuo, the dutu is the best candidate for Zheng Shizi, so the significance of the dug for Wenshuo is not only in this battle array.

Wen Shuo ordered to clean up all the soldiers who died on the battlefield, sort out their bodies one by one, and everyone had to clean up and bury them one by one, and it was no longer possible to bring them back to their homeland, so they could only be buried on the spot. The dead soldiers who were closer to Yuanyang City were very miserable with broken arms and stumps, and they all died after exerting every inch of their body, fighting for the rest of the soldiers to survive.

It took a lot of effort just to put their bodies together.

The personnel cleaned it up, and everyone found a problem, "Report General Wen, no General Dutu was found!" ”

"What?" Wen Shuo frowned, he was a little incredulous at what he heard, the sudden fall was shared by everyone, and his presence at that moment also boosted the morale of every general present. Wen Shuo roared, "Look for it again!" ”

"Yes!" The soldier replied, continuing to look for the digging in the direction close to Yuanyang City, everyone relied on their own memories to find his traces, searched a few steps further, and moved the corpse of a Beidi soldier on the ground, and suddenly found a familiar face, "General Wen, I found it!" General Digtu is here. ”

Wen Shuo immediately rushed in the direction of the soldier who spoke, and Du Tu was lying on the ground with his eyes closed, the blood on his body had stopped scabbing, and the corpse lying on him showed a hideous face, this is the other general who Du Tu killed with his last breath, and looked carefully at the appearance of Du Tu, Wen Shuo suddenly felt that something was not right, and immediately shouted, "Messenger doctor, quickly, quickly call the doctor here!" ”

"General Wen?" The soldier asked, puzzled.

"He's not dead yet!" Wen Shuo excitedly grabbed the soldier in front of him and said, "He's not dead yet!" Go and ......," he said, pushing the soldier in front of him, "Go and get the medical officer!" He is accustomed to seeing the battle and life and death on the battlefield, and the appearance of people when they die is very familiar, and Wen Shuo's appearance at the moment clearly shows one thing: he is not dead.

The soldier was stunned for a moment, and was pushed by Wen Shuo without slowing down, and after a few seconds, he bounced up from the ground suddenly, rushed towards the military tent, and shouted the name of the military doctor, running fast along the way, the military doctor asked and put down all the wounded in his hand and rushed towards the dutu, and the battle of dutu won everyone's respect for himself in the army!

Dutu's body is still very soft, and his breathing is still very even, he is not unfortunately killed, but because he is too tired and fell into a deep sleep, since he was a child, the body function of quiet training has allowed him to carry the fatal wound caused by this heavy hemorrhage, as long as a little rest and wound treatment can be carried over. This news made Wen Shuo breathe a long sigh of relief, his legs and feet were weak and he almost fell to the ground, and his face, which had been dark for several days, finally showed a little joy.

"What's wrong?" Bao Hongde asked from far and near.

"Digging is not dead!" Wen Shuo let out a long breath, looked at Bao Hongde and said with a smile, "In this way, we still have a fierce general, and we have a better chance of winning this battle!" ”

"Really?" Bao Hongde was not as excited as Wen Shuo, his shortcomings have been undoubtedly revealed in this confrontation between the two armies, if it weren't for Wen Shuo's army to use death to kill a bloody way for Bao Hongde's reinforcements, this battle of northern Jin, Bao Hongde would really have nothing to gain, "Then take care of your injuries first!" He said this very plainly, and then turned around and left the military tent, very unhappy in his heart, this defeat was obviously betrayed by someone, who is this person? Bao Hongde didn't have a clue for a while.

The news of the meritorious service of the Dutu and Wenshuo army will soon return to the pickaxe capital, and his status in the pickaxe capital has been greatly reduced.

After the two armies confronted each other, the soldiers of the Great Zhou still failed to take Yuanyang City, Wen Shuo ordered to rest in place and wait for the arrival of Jin Bo reinforcements, and the three armies gathered together, and the number exceeded 30,000, which could capture Yuanyang in one fell swoop. At this time, Bao Hongde calculated in his heart, if he waited for the arrival of Jin Bo's reinforcements and then captured Yuanyang City, he was afraid that he would be third in terms of his own credit.

Bao Hongde therefore said to Wen Shuo, "General Wen! In my opinion, this matter should not wait any longer, at this moment, Beidi has just been frustrated, and we need to take advantage of the fact that we have just pulled back a game and won Yuanyang City in one fell swoop! ”

"I'm afraid it's inappropriate!" Wen Shuo shook his head, "This time the two armies are fighting, we have lost too many people, and although Beidi is defeated, there are enough soldiers in the city, if we just rush back like this, I am afraid that it will be ......" He sighed and shook his head, not approving of Bao Hongde's approach.

"I'm afraid, I'm afraid that if we wait for Jin Bo's army to make peace with us, and Beidi's reinforcements also enter Yuanyang City, it will be too difficult to attack the city at that time!" Bao Hongde said to Wen Shuo, he knew that this matter could not happen at all, but what he said to Wen Shuo was alarmist, Wen Shuo frowned deeply, and he was very uncertain about this, he didn't know how many soldiers Beidi there were, nor did he know the situation of Dog Rong and Dongyi, and he didn't know if Beidi's reinforcements would go to Yuanyang to meet with Beidi's army.

However, these Bao Hongde's hearts are clear, after all, when he left, Ji Gongyan had handed over all the information he had found to Bao Hongde, he knew that Beidi's reinforcements would not rush here, and he also knew that Dog Rong would soon retreat because of the need to attack Qin, but he still instigated Wen Shuo to lead his troops to attack the city.

Wen Shuo sighed, looked at Bao Hongde and frowned, "How many soldiers and horses are left right now?" ”

"I've counted it," said Bao Hongde, "and there are nearly two hundred or so left, and we have lost more than 10,000 people at these stops!" ”

Wen Shuo's face was not good, very heavy, as if he had pressed a boulder in his heart, he couldn't lift his strength in a sullen mood, he hesitated for a long time before making a decision, and nodded slightly, "Three days later, attack the city!" ”

"I've studied the garrison of Yuanyang City," Bao Hongde said to Wen Shuo, "Why don't we discuss the battle plan now?" ”

"Good!" Wen Shuo nodded, followed Bao Hongde out of the wounded barracks, the medical officer said that the injury of the digging was too serious, coupled with three days and three nights of fatigue fighting, may not be able to wake up for a while, but the body is no longer in danger of life, sooner or later it will still wake up, all the wounded were placed in the barracks, Wen Shuo decided to leave these soldiers behind when attacking the city, and took the remaining soldiers and horses to the city to attack.

Bao Hongde showed Wen Shuo the garrison of the entire Yuanyang City, and he claimed that he sent someone to Yuanyang City to find out, but in fact it was the military deployment map of Beidi that Ji Gongyan handed over to him before Bao Hongde set off. After analysis, the garrison in the south of Yuanyang City is the strongest, while the north is the weakest, which is also because the south is directly facing the soldiers and horses of the Great Zhou, and the north is backed by Beidi.

Bao Hongde proposed to take a group of soldiers and horses, copy the nearby hills and paths all the way to the north of Yuanyang City, and Wen Shuo led the army to confront the enemy in the south, once Bao Hongde successfully attacked the city, Beidi's military horses must retreat, so that since Bao Hongde has occupied the city, it naturally occupies the active position, and Wen Shuo's warriors are behind, and they will definitely be able to kill the soldiers in Yuanyang City without leaving a piece of armor.

"How many more of them are?" Wen Shuo asked, his expression solemn.

"I sent someone to count it, and the number of people they sacrificed in this confrontation has reached more than 20,000, so there are still more than 40,000 people left in the city at the moment, twice as many as ours!" Bao Hongde said, this is still a slight disparity in winning more with less, Wen Shuo opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything, it was another difficult battle to win more with less.

"I know it's a little difficult," Bao Hongde patted Wen Shuo on the shoulder, "But think about it, as long as we win Yuanyang City, we will win!" Cut off the Beidi retreat of the new city, the division of Beidi can only be slaughtered, if we don't take the initiative at this moment, then when Jin Bo's reinforcements arrive, the alliance of Beidi and Dog Rong is afraid that it will arrive! When the time comes, all the battles will start again, and the soldiers we sacrificed will be in vain. ”

Bao Hongde didn't mention that he also asked Ji Gongyan for a dead soldier in Qinling, he had to command beautifully in this battle, and he would never allow anyone's credit to override him. Wen Shuo was uneasy in his heart, but the uncertainty of the future also made him dare not wait any longer, so he had to follow Bao Hongde's plan to carry it out.

Three days later, Wen Shuo set out with his troops and took a hundred military horses to the Yuanyang City Gate for a diplomatic battle. At this moment, Yuanyang City is as expected by Bao Hongde, it is the time when morale is low, and the people of Bao Hongde played the music of Beidi outside Yuanyang City the night before, and it coincided with the full moon season, the moonlight was bright, and the soldiers who had left their hometowns in the city had homesickness. On the second day, Wenshuo's army called for battle, and no one had the mind to put it in the confrontation between the two armies anymore.

This battle was magnificent, the victory was very exciting, Wen Shuo called the battle bravely and abnormally beheaded the opponent's generals under the Yuanyang City, and the army attacked, attacking everything; Bao Hongde, who made a detour behind him, also entered the city later, annihilated the other party's city defenders, quickly captured Yuanyang City, cut off Beidi's military flag, and put his own handsome flag.

However, after thousands of calculations, Bao Hongde still missed one thing, it was this incident that cost him Bao Hongde's life, and also the life of the entire Bao family, which made the high-ranking Ji Gongyu seem extremely helpless, watching this situation that he could no longer control rushed to a powerless sadness.
