When Wang Shouzhong arrived at the northern wing, the situation had completely stabilized, but his mood was extremely bad.

Accompanied by a bad mood and huge pressure, the powerful attack power displayed by the Huaiyou Army on the first day made him realize that his previous predictions were a little too optimistic.

If it goes on like this, let alone hold on for a month, I'm afraid it will be very difficult for half a month.

He made a rough estimate that sixty-seven of his most elite soldiers, the Hornheads, had been killed and seventy-two wounded on the central and southern flanks alone.

You must know that the hornhead soldier is a pro-army in his tooth army, with only one battalion of 500 people in total, and he will not be easily put into use until the critical time, but today is only the first day, and he has lost more than one-fifth, how can this not make him shocked, angry and afraid.

In addition to the losses of the hornheads, the other losses were even greater, with more than 300 men killed on the central line and more than 500 on the southern flank, which refers to the dead and seriously wounded, and it seems that the situation on the northern flank is even worse.

The guy who fled away is undoubtedly a small heavenly master, but Wang Shouzhong is not sure who it is, if it is Chai Yong, the deputy soldier and horse envoy of the Huaiyou Left Army, then that is to say, in today's first battle, the two soldiers and horses of the Huaiyou Left Army have personally taken the battle, how dare they?!

Why should they not dare?

Wang Shouzhong let out a heavy breath, he had to accept a cruel reality, Huai Youjun seemed to be pouring out of the nest this time.

According to the detailed information, Jiang Feng reorganized his own army, divided into the Huai Right Army and the Wuning Army, and each army was divided into the left army, the right army, the cavalry army and the navy army, the cavalry army and the navy army aside, but the Huai Right Army and the Wuning Army were not complete in the establishment of the left and right armies, it seems that except for the Huai Right Left Army, which is the most basic force under the entire Jiang Feng's command, it seems that it has ten armies, and the other armies are the basic establishment of only six armies.

According to the basic regulations of the current feudal lords, each Xiang army can be organized into six to twelve armies according to their own financial affordability, six armies are the basic army, ten armies are complete armies, and twelve armies are strengthened armies.

Of course, this can be the case in the establishment of the Xiang army, but in fact, in terms of the actual strength of each army and even each battalion, basically each feudal lord has a shortage to varying degrees.

For example, the Taining Army and the Reform Army are the most typical situation, except for a few armies led by Zhu Mao himself, the Taining Army basically only retains between 1,500 and 2,000 people, and the shortfall is at least 500 people, and the worst is only 1,200 people.

The probation army is slightly better, but each army can only maintain about 18 to 2,200 people, and only about 1,500 people can really be picked out to meet the standards of the Huaiyou Army, which is also the reason why the Taining Army and the Reform Army can only be enough to make up the 12 armies of the Wuning Left and Right Army after the comprehensive integration of the Taining Army and the Reform Army。

Now it seems that the strength of the Huaiyou (Wuning) Army should be more than 50,000 people, and more importantly, its comprehensive combat effectiveness has greatly exceeded Wang Shouzhong's expectations, especially the performance of long-range strike weapons and new siege equipment.

"See Father. Wang Shouzhong's face made the surrounding generals dare not come up, and Yao Meng, the commander of the Tooth Army, was still rectifying the deployment of the middle line, or the officer holding the mandarin duck came over and said in a deep voice.

Wang Shouzhong glanced at the other party, this is his own concubine, well, the eighth father-son soldier, this time can be regarded as a real manifestation.

"Hachiro, are you okay?" Wang Shouzhong's stiff face showed a hint of concern, anyway, he is also his own son, even if it is a concubine, his own son is too much, which makes him a little too much, but his family history can still play a role as a pillar in the army.

"Back to my father, I'm fine, Ren Yu was injured by Chai Yong's guy, I'm afraid it won't work. Wang Guoqing's face showed a sad look, Ren Yu has been his partner for so many years, and his feelings are quite deep, but he didn't expect to join forces to fight, but he ended up like this.

"Ren Yu?" Wang Shouzhong was slightly impressed, but he was more concerned about the others: "Balang, are you sure it's Chai Yong?"

"Black Tie Mo Dao, a heavenly powerhouse, who else can there be?" Wang Guoqing's relationship with his father is not good, as a concubine, his status in his father's mind is very low, and he also knows that Pinglu will never be able to sit on his own, so he doesn't have too much thought about this.

I'm not very satisfied with my wife's attitude, but now is not the time to worry about this, "What is his strength level?

"It should be on the same level as my father, but it should be slightly inferior, but the gap is not big, I was hit in the arm by a magic crossbow, but it looks very light. Wang Guoqing said very plainly.

Wang Shouzhong was in a worse mood, looking around, the soldiers were helping the people under the command of the officers to collect the corpses and carry away the wounded, but before Wang Shouzhong could speak, there was another shout on the city wall.

The officers and non-commissioned officers took refuge in the surrounding tents, and in the distance there was a dark shadow in the sky, and the loud noise of powerful torsion springs and winches heralded another round of enemy catapults and ballistas.

Wang Shouzhong was a little embarrassed and hid in the nearest battle shed with his guards, for him, this kind of long-range stone bullets and crossbow arrows will certainly not be a threat, but the other people around him are different, once they are hit, they will be destroyed.

The blow of the Huaiyou Army came and went quickly, only two or three waves of blows were over, but the damage brought was very serious, the three catapults and two ballistas that had just had time to pull out were shattered, and the difference in range made the Pinglu Army's counterattack ability on this side was greatly weakened.

This gap puts the two sides in an unequal state, although in the final analysis, the enemy wants to break the city or through the soldiers to achieve it, but in this way to contain their own long-range weapons, it will lead to their own side having to brave the enemy's stone bullets and crossbow bombardment for a period of time in the process of attack and defense, and their own catapults and ballistae are often destroyed and suppressed by the opponent's catapults and ballistas in the early stage, and it is difficult to play an effective role.

The scene in front of him made Wang Shouzhong even more annoyed, but he couldn't do anything about it.

He had long heard that Huai You was sharp and fierce in siege equipment, and at this time he felt it most intuitively.

This kind of intermittent blow is quite hurtful, you can't estimate when the other side will attack, once launched, the soldiers guarding the city wall will not have time to react, they will suffer heavy losses, especially when the enemy begins to charge close to the city wall, do the guards have to hide in the battle tent, wait until the enemy approaches and then come out?

This is obviously impossible, the slightest carelessness will cause a breakthrough by the enemy, and no one dares to take this risk.

But if you don't, you have to brave the enemy's stone bullets and crossbow bolts to enter the position in advance, and this loss will not be small.

The only way is to immediately repair the war shed, the original war shed is one or two hundred steps, and now I am afraid that all to thirty or fifty steps must have one, the scale can be smaller, so as to shorten the distance, can minimize the time from the battle shed to the head of the city into the position, reduce the casualties of being bombarded by stone bullets and crossbow arrows.

It's just that this kind of temporary war shed can withstand the blow of the other party's catapult is not too easy to say, the other party has a watchtower that is one head higher to observe, if the catapult is concentrated to attack the war shed, once the war shed is destroyed, I am afraid that the loss will be greater, thinking of this, Wang Shouzhong felt a headache.

As the sun set, the entire battlefield slowly fell silent.

The masters of both sides also began to collect the bodies with permission, and of course, it was not allowed to collect stone bullets, arrows, and crossbows.

In order to prevent the enemy troops in the city from sneaking up, the cavalry also began to station in detachments on various high grounds, and as soon as they found that the enemy troops in the city were out of the city, they would immediately arrive.

However, as far as the current situation is concerned, I am afraid that the Pinglu army is more focused on reviewing the battle situation than launching a sneak attack.

Seeing that Chai Yong's arm was wrapped in gauze, Yang Kan's originally somewhat pale face couldn't help laughing, "Hehe, Lao Chai, in this battle, the two soldiers and horses of our Huaiyou and Left Army were both injured and returned, does it damage the image of our Huaiyou and Left Army?"

Chai Yong also glanced at Yang Kan, and said nonchalantly: "Image? If the image can make the Pinglu army die more than 800 people, then I am really willing to do without this image." ”

"Well, it's just that I'm injured, Wang Shouzhong personally took action, fortunately, there are magic weapons from the Dao Tibetan Material Academy, otherwise I wouldn't be able to come back today. Yang Kan sighed a little, "The strength is not good, and it is not good not to admit the gap." What kind of immortal did you make you like this?"

"Do you think that the Pinglu Army is not prepared at all? Magicians, strong crossbows, and two masters of the Taixia Period, this Pinglu Army is also one after another, and they have made a lot of efforts to target. Chai Yong moved his arm, not without emotion, "Fortunately, it didn't hurt the muscles and bones, but to be honest, the magic strength of the north is indeed far inferior to the south, if it is Yangzhou City or Chuzhou City today, you and I don't dare to be so presumptuous, otherwise it will be really difficult to get out."
