Smoke still curls inside the camp and the fire has been extinguished, but the situation is still chaotic. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Thankfully, the attackers were relieving everyone that had ignited the wood and materials used to make spell equipment and siege facilities, rather than food.

The original plan was to break the city within three days, as long as Gushi City was taken, the food in the city was enough to meet the needs of the army to return north, but he did not expect that the siege on the first day would suffer a heavy setback.

After returning to the camp and arranging everything, it was already dark, and Yuan Wuwei knew that he had made a mistake.

Thinking that he could take Gushi with a drum, he was a little light on the remaining camp, thinking that the enemy had no cavalry to steal the camp, and there were 2,000 cavalry to deal with it at any time, but he didn't expect that there were strange soldiers coming from the rear, which was indeed a big surprise to him.

Now it doesn't make much sense to track down where this hidden strange army came from, and what is in front of Yuan Wuwei is what to do next.

The losses have not yet been fully counted, but experience has taught Yuan Wuwei that the superficial phenomenon may look bad, but the real calculation may not be as bad as it seems.

The Caizhou army is a division of a hundred battles, Yuan Wuwei still has this self-confidence, this vicious battle, the Gushi army did break out with unprecedented combat effectiveness, especially the endless magic defense system, which brought great trouble and losses to the Caizhou army, but this was not enough to reverse the tide of the war.

The key thing is that the Gushi Army showed extremely tenacious and tenacious courage, and they supported the critical point of the surprise attack on the camp, and they always thought that the city should have been broken a long time ago, but they were slow to take that step.

This half-day war gave Yuan Wuwei a great shock.

He has always believed that the current combat power of the Caizhou Army is no longer inferior to the Liang Army and the Jin Army, two powerful armies recognized by the world, at least on an equal footing with the Taining Army and the Three Towns of Heshuo.

But now it seems that there is still a gap between the Caizhou army and the real strong army, and Yuan Wuwei feels that the Caizhou army still lacks a kind of strength and tenacity that can overcome difficulties at critical moments and become stronger and stronger.

In his impression, only the Jin army and the Liang army have this kind of temperament, even if it is the Taining army, although it is fierce and brave, but it lacks the shortcomings and toughness.

Of course, the Gushi Army is far from reaching this realm, but it has already revealed a little tenacity in the elements of a strong army, and the Caizhou Army lacks a little bit of courageous momentum at a critical moment, which directly leads to the fact that this battle is always short of achieving a breakthrough.

After all, it was still a little bit close, Yuan Wuwei sighed in his heart, how should he face this dilemma now?

The sound of footsteps woke up Yuan Wuwei who was in deep thought.

"Third brother!"

"How is Uncle Nine?" Yuan Wuwei stared at Yuan Wuxing.

The severity of Yuan Huaide's injuries also made Yuan Wuwei a little annoyed.

specially told the other party to take care of Uncle Jiu, but he didn't expect to come back in such a situation, how can he explain to the head of the family when he goes back?

And what made Yuan Wuwei even more troubled and even anxious was the death of Zhao Lan.

Zhao Lan is the leader of the younger generation of the Zhao family, and even faintly became the leader of the younger generation of foreign surnames in the Caizhou military system, and now he is actually lost under Gushi City, and Yuan Huaide, who has an in-law relationship with the Zhao family, is also seriously injured, what kind of message will this send to the outside world?

What will these families with foreign surnames think?

You Yuan Wuxing came back unharmed, but Yuan Huaide almost died, no matter how you say it, you can't say it, but Yuan Wuwei also knows that now is not the time to pursue this matter.

"It's not good, life is safe, but ......" Yuan Wuxing lowered his head.

Yuan Wuxing also felt a little dissatisfied with the generals with him, not only the emotions brought about by the failure of the siege, but also some dissatisfaction with his failure to achieve a breakthrough on the western city wall, and the contrast factor of Uncle Jiu being too seriously injured and himself unscathed, but could this be blamed on himself?

Who would have thought that the remnants of the Xu clan would jump out at this time, and that they would be in a desperate posture?

But these words can only be held in the heart.

Of course, Yuan Wuxing knew that Yuan Huaide had always been more friendly to Yuan Wuwei and Yuan Wuwei in the family, which was probably the main reason why Yuan Wuwei was very unhappy, but he had a clear conscience, and the ninth uncle was not dead, so he couldn't say it clearly.

"How's the Fifth Army doing?"

The establishment of the Caizhou army is similar to that of the Liang and the Great Jin, all of which are organized according to the left and right compartments, and there are ten armies on the left and right compartments, but unlike the Daliang and Dajin armies, the Caizhou Army and the left and right two compartments of the twenty armies are fully formed, with 25,000 people in the left and 10 armies in the left compartment and 25,000 troops in the right wing, all of which are the main force of the Caizhou Army.

The head of the family, Yuan Huaihe, led the owner of the left compartment, and the owner of the right compartment was Zhao Xuan.

The Fifth Army on the left side was the main force led by Yuan Wuxing to attack the western city wall.

"The losses are still relatively large. Yuan Wuxing put away his other emotions, and his attitude was uneasy: "The preparations made by the Gu Shi Army for this battle are beyond our imagination, and there has been a big mistake in the intelligence gathering work done by the Ministry Division in this regard, and the Gu Shi Army has invested a lot in magic defense, and it is not at all possible that can be done in ten days and a half months, I suspect that the Gu Shi Army has been preparing since the ant thief left." ”

Yuan Wuxing's judgment is also in line with Yuan Wuwei's cognition, "Well, it is indeed a bit unexpected to us, in addition to the strength shown on the trebuchet and the crossbow, the magic device that can project rolling wood we didn't expect at all, as well as the wooden magic attached to the city wall, the ground formation, this Gu Shi Army's use of magic has come to the front, and it is endless." ”

"Even in the duel between military generals, Zhao Lan's death is inseparable from Jiang Feng's design!" Yuan said fearlessly: "I have long said that Jiang Feng is a scourge and needs to ,......be solved as soon as possible."

"Okay, Lao Qi, it doesn't make much sense to say these now, solve it, how to solve it?assassination?" Yuan Wuwei coldly interrupted the other party's words: "Unless the head of the family comes in person, with the current preparation of the Gu Shi Army, they must have made sufficient preparations in terms of prevention, Wen Yu was attacked by the magic crossbow when he was prepared, injured the meridians, and his whole body is stiff so far, and he can't get up, which shows that the Gu Shi Army has already had a countermeasure in this regard." ”

Yuan Wuxing thought about it, he was assassinated by the other party without preparation, and he was almost taken advantage of by the other party's powerful crossbow with magic, and now I am afraid that after experiencing the assassination of Bianliang, he will be more careful to prevent and deal with it.

"The head of the family may not be able to come in person. Yuan Wuxing shook his head slowly, "This son is as cunning as a fox, and he has a lot of means, and if he doesn't pay attention to it, he will fall for his tricks." ”

Hearing Yuan Wuxing say this, Yuan Wuwei knew that he was afraid that Yuan Wuxing felt too deeply in the last dealing, so he was so jealous, "Old Seven, where do you think the attack on my camp today is sacred?"

"It must be an ant thief!" Yuan Wuxing said with certainty: "It is impossible for all parties around to have such a strong cavalry force, from the north, who else can it be besides the ant thief?"

"But have you ever considered it, Lao Qi, such an elite army crossed from Yingzhou to Huai, can it be said that the Huaibei side knows nothing? Now the Huaibei side is fighting with the ant thieves everywhere, coming so far from Yingzhou, and crossing the Huai, it's not that simple, the cavalry crossing the Huai, can it be said that there is no infantry to respond? Is the Huaibei side turning a blind eye to such a big move, or is it indifferent?"

Yuan Wuwei's words made Yuan Wuxing's eyes froze, and he asked hesitantly, "Third brother suspects that this army is a probation army?"

"The probation army is not, I don't dare to say whether they have this intention, but now that the ant thieves are wreaking havoc in Yingbo Erzhou, they definitely don't have the power, but this ant thief cavalry army has crossed the Huai all the way south, to say that Huaibei knows nothing, I don't believe it. Yuan Wuwei turned around.

"Then what does Huaibei want?" Yuan Wuxing suddenly felt that the problem was serious.

If Huaibei, Caizhou's biggest backer, has different intentions, then Caizhou will be really dangerous.

Over the years, in addition to constantly responding to and assisting Caizhou to deal with the military pressure of the Great Liang, Huaibei's greatest support is still in military funding.

Huaibei is rich, and Caizhou has been strongly supported in terms of money, silver, weapons, armor, and even food and magic materials, which is also the biggest confidence to support Caizhou's courage to fight with the beam.

The Caizhou army has not only not weakened over the years, but has become stronger and stronger, because Huaibei has continued to support the Caizhou army over the years, of course, this is also a cooperation in the interests of both sides.

But now can it be said that Huaibei has a different heart?

"It's hard to say now, maybe it's just some small actions of the main general on the Yingzhou side. Yuan Wuwei shook his head, but his face was a little bitter, "It seems that Yingbo Erzhou was injured by the ant thieves this time, so that Huaibei also has a little other thoughts, seeing that we have a strong development momentum in recent years, maybe they are worried that our Caizhou will take advantage of their current weakness to have a plot against Yingzhou, right?"

After Yuan Wuwei was stunned for a moment, he noticed the strangeness of Yuan Wuwei's complexion, and slowly reacted.

The reputation of the Yuan clan in the surroundings was not good, even the allies were probably difficult to put their hearts in, and the continuous betrayal of the alliance and the alliance made the Caizhou army gain a lot, but it also lost credibility among the surrounding feudal lords.

At present, cooperation is completely based on interests, and once there is a stir, others will have different intentions, which cannot but be said to be a kind of sadness.

The two brothers fell silent for a while, if Huaibei had a different heart, it would be quite dangerous for Caizhou.

The first battle of Liang Cai is about to kick off, even though the probation army cannot support it militarily, but Caizhou still has great hopes for Huaibei to support it in other aspects, after all, everyone understands the truth of cold lips and teeth.

But now that Huaibei has such an attitude, it can't help but make people worry. (To be continued.) )
