It is not difficult to see from this that although the Slav was frivolous in words, he was still a cautious person in essence.

After thinking about it, the Slavs decided to test it first to see how the Han Chinese army would react, and then decide whether to attack in a big way.

"Come on, send 500 dead guards to attack the Han camp gate."

When the commander of the Dead Guard heard the order, he hurriedly slapped his horse and left to count the soldiers and horses.

The Dead Guard is the first-class main force of the Kushan Kingdom, with a total strength of 100,000 people, all of whom are elites who have survived dozens of battles.

Since the Eastern Crusade, there have only been a few battles in total, so the original 50,000 troops have not lost a lot, and there are still 40,000 people.

Of these 40,000 people, 30,000 went directly to Rahul's command, and the remaining 10,000 belonged to Slavs, and these 10,000 people were still screened, and their strength was slightly lower than those in Rahul's hands.

To get back to the point, the Dead Guards had to rush to the gate of the village and launch a fierce attack, but Cao Jun had already expected this, and immediately entered a defensive state at the moment when the Dead Guards appeared.

After trying to storm for half an hour, seeing that the camp gate could not be opened, the Slavs were distressed by the casualties of the dead guards, ordered to retreat, and continued to think about countermeasures.

The Han people only defended and did not attack, they must have come all the way, and their physical strength has not recovered, so now is the best opportunity to attack.

Judging from the results of the trial just now, if you want to defeat the Han people, you will have to pay at least about 10,000 lives.

Although there are only 10,000 casualties, the current situation in the war is unfavorable, and there is nowhere to replenish the supply of troops, and if there is one death, there will be one less, so we have to consider carefully.

"Report! Honorable Deputy Commander, the commander ordered his subordinates to come and ask, when will they be able to return to the camp in victory? ”

The sudden arrival of the herald made the thinking Slav frown slightly, and said in silence for a moment: "Okay, I know, go and tell the commander, and I will come back in three hours." ”

"Yes." The herald received an accurate answer and respectfully turned away.

The heralds departed, and the Slavs had no choice but to order a strong attack, because Rahul sent people urging him to break through the Han camp.

Since it was necessary to attack, the Slavs did not procrastinate, and directly pressed the army, preparing to take the Han camp in one go, and try to make up for the casualties with momentum.

In the face of the all-round advance of the Guishan army, the camp gate became precarious, and the coach Xia Houyuan also came to the scene to command.

Xia Houyuan led the army to pursue all the way, and he had exhausted all his strength, so he would build a comprehensive defense of the big camp, the purpose of which was to wait for reinforcements.

Xia Houyuan had already expected the current situation, but what he didn't expect was that the Guishan army would be so crazy.

If the physical strength is not recovered, the combat strength is naturally not much, and the casualties are naturally large, and if you continue to defend it, you will only sacrifice the lives of the soldiers in vain.

After more than two hours of fighting to the death, after Dazhai was completely broken, Xia Houyuan finally ordered to retreat and avoid the edge for the time being.

Xia Houyuan led the army to retreat in an orderly manner, and the Slavs did not dare to pursue, because in the battle just now, Cao's performance had broken the contempt in his heart.

In just two hours, there were 10,000 casualties, and most of them were killed and seriously wounded, because these Han people fought like crazy people.

There are also Slavs and Xia Houyuan who have also fought each other, and the two have fought fiercely for about 20 rounds, and the victory or defeat is inseparable, so it can be said that they are opponents in chess.

Slav put away his complicated emotions, led his army to clean up the battlefield, retreated to the main camp, and immediately reported to Rahul about the situation of the day's battle, and put forward his personal opinion.

After hearing this, Rahul thought for a long time, but still asked with some disbelief: "You mean that these Han troops are more elite than before?" ”

"Well, that's true." Slav said seriously: "Commander, don't be careless anymore, otherwise I'm afraid that I will have to withdraw from the Great Han Kingdom." ”

"No, it's not there yet." Seeing that what Slav said was so serious, Rahul's face changed, and although he didn't believe his words, his tone was already believing.

Slav was a wise man, and knew Rahul better, so he struck while the iron was hot and persuaded him: "Yes, commander, at this time we should wait for the speed to join Blackjack, and then seize the western part of the Great Han Kingdom with lightning speed." ”

The two had the same idea, and Rahul said: "This commander has been arranged, so that people can recall Lu Dafu and Wei Daxun's department, and it should be more than a month before they can join Black Jack." ”

"No, you can't wait that long." Hearing that it would take more than a month, Slav said excitedly: "In the battle just now, the Han people obviously wanted to hold on, and there must be a steady stream of troops behind them. ”

"If the strength is equal to our army, our army will lose its advantage, and the Han people still have backup, but our army does not, and the situation will only get worse and worse."

"Hmm." Rahul nodded slowly and said: "Then according to your intentions, our army will set off now, but Lu Dafu and Wei Daxun's troops will become a lone army to go deep, and if they are surrounded, they will definitely be destroyed." ”

Slav replied: "Commander, the loss of Lu Dafu and Wei Daxun in exchange for the foothold of the Great Han Kingdom, which one do you say is better?" ”

When Rahul heard this, his head suddenly sobered up.

Slav is right, as long as the western part of the Han Kingdom is occupied, there will naturally be a source of soldiers, and as for Lu Dafu and Wei Daxun, they can be notified in advance, so that they can be psychologically prepared, and they should be able to kill.

After some thought, Rahul agreed with the Slavic suggestion and decided to take advantage of the darkness to evacuate and join Blackjack.

Xia Houyuan didn't know that Rahul was about to retreat, because he put all his attention on defense.

It wasn't until a few days later that Xia Houyuan saw that the Guishan army had not moved for a long time, and sent scouts to investigate, that he learned the news and hurriedly went to check it out in person.

According to the traces of the withdrawal of the Guishan army, Xia Houyuan guessed that they were going to Longxi, so he hurriedly sent people to rush to Xuchang to get instructions to see if they could support Longxi.

In fact, Xia Houyuan didn't know that Longxi had already been lost, and the Guishan army was stationing troops to force Wudu.

The geographical location of Wudu is also very important, because his rear is Hanzhong and Shu County, if it is lost, the Guishan army will drive straight in.

After Jia Xu and others withdrew from the army, they put their soldiers and horses here, and built several lines of defense, resisting step by step.

But the Guishan army attacked all the way, and it only took a few days to clear the perimeter and besiege the head of the Xiazhen City, looking like he would not give up if he didn't take it.

The loss of Yicheng can be said to be a confrontation between Blackjack and Jia Xu, although it is clear that Blackjack won the city, but it was actually a tie.

You must know that Jia Xu used very few losses to kill and wound half of Blackjack's soldiers and horses, although the city was finally broken, it was too few troops to hold on, so he had to abandon the city and break through.
