They were not commanded by high-ranking generals.

There was also no artillery support.

The troops who rely entirely on the front line are fighting on their own.

In the face of the siege of Xu Ding and Jia Xu, they resisted to the death.

Boom boom...

The front line was constantly being shot with guns and gunfire.

Jia Heng took the Fenglin Volcano Special Forces Force, took advantage of the chaos to pass through the enemy's defense line, and returned to Xu Ding's command post.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty... The minister has completed his mission. The moment he saw Xu Ding, Jia Heng was excited.

Ever since he took over the mission and went to the rear of the enemy, he never thought he would be able to come back.

These days, my mind is thinking about how to complete the task.

Right now.

He finally did.

He also proved to the First and Second Group Armies that the Fenglin Volcano Special Forces Unit has its own combat mode and super combat effectiveness, and can play a different role.

"Okay."

Xu Ding said: "I didn't misread you. ”

"The wind forest volcano is in your hands, and it really lives up to its prestige."

"Your Majesty has won the prize." Jia Heng was excited.

"You take the special forces first and go back to the rear to rest. In the current battle, there is no need for special forces to intervene. I'll give you credit later. One great effort per person. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Before Jia Heng left, he sent the captured enemy high-ranking generals in.

There are two main people standing in front of Xu Xuding.

One is called Ju'an, and the other is called Tuyun.

One of them was the commander of the 40,000 Army, the other was the commander of the field brigade of the mechanized corps, and concurrently served as the chief of staff of the mechanized corps.

To some extent, except for the commander-in-chief, it is the two of them who call the shots.

Xu Ding sat aside.

Behind him is Dian Wei.

Left and right Lu Su and Guo Jia.

Xu Ding said: "You two... Do you want to die, or do you want to live? ”

"What's good about dying, of course you want to live."

"If you want to live, you have to be honest with me." Xu Ding looked at Ju An: "Let me ask you, how many troops have passed through the wormhole this time?" How's the strength? Where are they stationed now? Are there any plans? ”

"You asked the wrong person, I don't know." Ju An glanced at Tuyun.

Dian Wei snorted, "You still don't want to tell the truth? ”

"Do you know what we used to do with prisoners who didn't tell the truth?"

Dian Wei had already pulled out his dagger.

Both Ju An and Tu Yun took a step back.

The main thing is that Dian Wei's appearance is too scary.

"Dian Wei."

Xu Ding called Dian Wei: "He may really not know." ”

Xu Ding also just remembered that Ju'an had already arrived in Xuzhou, and he really didn't know about the situation of the hundreds of thousands of troops later.

"You should understand. You're the field brigade commander of the Mechanized Corps, aren't you? Xu Ding looked at Tu Yun.

"Yes."

Tuyun is not as columbic as Ju'an.

In the face of Xu Timing, he is always neither humble nor arrogant.

When he replied, he also looked a little disdainful.

Xu Ding also saw it.

But now, the enemy is the fish and the meat, and I am the sword.

Xu Ding doesn't need to be as knowledgeable as him.

"What about you, are you dumb?" Dian Wei didn't have such a good temper as Xu Ding, so he stepped forward directly, gave Tu Yun a slap, and slapped him with blood.

"Get on your knees!"

Dian Wei kicked him to his stomach.

Two Royal Forest soldiers came over and pressed Tuyun to the ground.

"I'll ask you again. How many troops are there through the wormhole this time? How's the strength? Where are they stationed now? Are there any plans? If you answer honestly, you will not suffer from flesh and skin. Otherwise, I have to let you taste the torture instruments of our Huaxia Empire. ”

......

The primitives were still silent.

For this kind of thick-skinned and disobedient person, Xu Ding doesn't have much patience.

Directly handed it to Dian Wei: "Drag him out, teach him a lesson, and then pull him back." ”

"Hey, hey... This is long overdue. Dian Wei grabbed Tu Yuan's arm and dragged it out of the account.

"Humph!"

Tu Yuan is still pretending to be there.

A heroic and righteous look.

Dian Wei dragged him outside, chopped off a few fingers first, and let the Royal Forest Army outside beat him up. This is not the end, Dian Wei is very bloodthirsty, and he actually took it upon himself to stab Tu Yuan in the leg a few times with a dagger.

"Ahhh

Tu Yuan screamed incessantly.

Dian Wei finished tossing him and dragged him into the command post.

"Haha... Your Majesty, this kid is also a soft egg. After a while, I couldn't hold on. Dian Wei threw him to the ground.

The tragic state of the element is indescribable.

Fingers were chopped off.

Covered in wounds.

When he lay on the ground, in addition to screaming, his body was still shaking.

Commander Ju'an on the side, seeing that Tu Yuan was so miserable, his face had turned pale.

He thought silently in his heart, fortunately, he was smart and did not contradict Xu Ding. Otherwise, it will not be Tu Yuan who is being beaten now, but him.

"Ahem..."

Xu Ding was used to seeing life and death, but he didn't feel much surprised.

He regrouped his thoughts and asked, "Tuyuan, can you talk about it now?" ”

"Say... I say. ”

Tu Yuan was tortured, and he was much more honest.

He said: "This time, there are 330,000 elites, who have arrived in Jiangdong. Among them, 100,000 entered Jingzhou and stopped at Wancheng. Among them, 50,000 mechanical corps came to Xuzhou, the rear... There are 50,000 more in the rear, which will arrive in the near future. ”

"And fifty thousand?" Xu Ding exclaimed: "Where are these 50,000 soldiers?" ”

"It's past the spring of life."

Xu Ding frowned.

Shouchun is not far from Xuzhou.

Even if you walk, it won't take more than five days.

"It seems that if you want to hold Xuzhou, you have to fight again. At least 50,000 enemy troops who came to Xu's aid had to be repulsed. This was said to Guo Jia and Lu Su.

Lu Su said: "Yes." The Western Shang Empire had a lot of soldiers and horses. Fifty thousand dead, fifty thousand... ”

"It's not just endless, it's very annoying."

"The minister thinks this is a good thing." Guo Jiadao: "Right now, we are likely to win the Battle of Xuzhou. The enemy rushed here and saw more than 100,000 troops on the front line, all defeated. Do they still have the confidence to fight? On the other hand, we are a division with great victories, and our morale is high. With the strength of two army groups, we have attacked 50,000 enemy reinforcements, and it is not impossible to win. ”

"Hmm."

Xu Ding nodded: "Feng Xiao is right. ”

"What if... If we can win successive victories and defeat the enemy's 150,000 troops, the enemy will surely be frightened and will no longer dare to covet our Xuzhou. We also had plenty of time to recuperate and improve. ”

.....

When Xu Ding was talking to Lu Su and Guo Jia, Tu Yuan sneered although he was in great pain.

Xu Ding noticed and asked, "What?" Don't you think so? ”

"No, no..."

"I remember." Xu Dinghu said: "You just said that there are 330,000 enemy troops who have arrived in Jiangdong. You only said 200,000 of them, and 130,000 of them, where did they go? Or did you stay in Koto? ”

The primitives are hesitating...

Xu Ding snorted coldly: "You have to think clearly and give me an accurate answer." If you let me know that you lied to me, you will die a terrible death. Don't forget, you are now in my hands, and your life and death are all decided by me. ”

"Yes."

Tu Yuan has seen Dian Wei's methods, how dare he talk nonsense. Free Chinese

He sat up as hard as he could, and said, "There are still 100,000 troops... Went to Hebei.... ”

"Hebei?"

Lu Su and Guo Jia were shocked at the same time.

"The waterway to go?" Xu Ding asked.

"Yes."

The news revealed by Tu Yuan is very important.

The enemy army went directly to the Hebei Plain and Liyang by water. Once he succeeds and enters Jizhou, with Guan Yu's Hebei Field Army, I am afraid that he will not be able to resist it.

Guo Jia hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, we should warn Qingzhou and Jizhou and take precautions as soon as possible." ”

"The enemy went to 50,000 elites, and it was useless to take precautions in advance. However, he still warned Guan Yu and asked him to send troops to the plains and Liyang to guard against enemy attacks. We'll settle the battle here as quickly as possible, send reinforcements, and flank this group of enemy forces. Xu Dingdao.

"Yes."

The interrogation continued for a while, and there was no valuable news.

Xu Ding asked Dian Wei to take Tu Yuan down and take care of it strictly.

..........

Two hours later.

News came from the front.

Since the enemy forces did not have a high-level command, the front line was already in disarray.

The troops at the front were scattered and withdrawn to the rear. The troops behind also withdrew.

Soon a retreat was formed.

However, the troops commanded by Lu Su and Jia Xu were victorious in successive battles.

Swept all the way, morale was high.

Xu Ding took Lu Su and Guo Jia to the front line in person to observe the battle situation at close range.

Really...

Without a high-level command of the troops, the combat effectiveness is greatly reduced.

In particular, Jia Xu spread the news, so that the enemy soldiers all knew that his division commander, brigade commander, army commander, and commander were captured by the Chinese Empire's Fenglin Volcano Special Forces.

How can the soldiers still have the confidence to fight?

are running for their lives.

Evening.

The battle is in its final stages.

The tens of thousands of troops who were originally besieging Pengcheng were all transferred. Also involved in combat.

However, it still failed to salvage the defeat.

After a few hours of fierce fighting, he fled in the direction of Shouchun.

Xu Ding called Jia Xu and asked, "How many troops do you have in hand now?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, there are still four brigades of troops that can be mobilized immediately."

"Send them all out and pursue the enemy. In addition, I sent out cavalry to cut off the road. Form a sandwich with you. In short, we must do whatever it takes to annihilate the enemy! ”

"I understand."

Jia Xu already knows.

And 50,000 enemies are coming here.

Once the defeated army is allowed to join the 50,000 people, the consequences are unimaginable.

.........

Jia Xu led his troops, together with Tai Shici, to pursue the enemy troops who fled eastward.

Lu Su is cleaning up the battlefield.

Guo Jia and Xu Ding are together, and he, like Xu Ding, has long been thinking that his mind is not in Xuzhou, but in Hebei. According to Tu Yuan's confession, there were 50,000 enemy troops who went to Hebei along the waterway.

Judging by the distance, the enemy should have arrived soon.

Even if you send troops now, you may not be able to stop it.

Hebei is destined to be in chaos.

"Bong-hyo."

"Yes."

Xu Ding asked, "Did you send someone to Hebei?" ”

"The minister has been sent out. But Guan Yu... Will his troops be able to hold off 50,000 enemy troops? I don't think I can hold out for even an hour, and I will have to be defeated. ”

"Hehe..." Xu Ding smiled: "You also underestimate Guan Yu too much, right?" ”

"It's not that the minister underestimates General Guan, it's really the enemy's artillery..." Jia Xu paused: "In yesterday's battle, Your Majesty also saw that the enemy's artillery was getting farther and farther, and its power was getting stronger and stronger. Even our First and Second Armies are far from catching up. Guan Yu has more than 1,000 guns under his command, and the rest are war knives, shields, and war horses. How can you win? ”

"I know what you're talking about. I'm also trying to figure out how to defuse this crisis. Xu Ding looked at the map and calculated the distance: "If I send troops from Xuzhou, go to the front line in Hebei." For the infantry, it takes fifteen days, and the cavalry five days. ”

"According to the strength of the enemy, we at least ... Five divisions need to be dispatched to have a chance of victory. ”

Five divisions, that is, 50,000 men.

This is the same as the strength of the enemy army.

In the case of inferior weapons, it is still a bit risky to meet the battle with 50,000 troops. But there is no way now, Hebei wants to be saved, and the battle of Xuzhou must continue to be fought.

Enemy reinforcements are coming.

If a large number of troops are transferred, Xuzhou may still fall.

Considering many reasons, it is more appropriate to go to support Hebei with 50,000 troops.

"The war is urgent, sooner rather than later. When Generals Wenhe and Tai Shici returned, they formed a corps and marched north to meet the enemy. Guo Jiadao.

"Hmm."

Xu Ding instructed the division commanders under him to report the casualty figures.

It took Xu Ding a few hours to integrate all the troops. Fifty thousand men were transferred from it to form the Eastward Advance Corps. In addition, a written order was written, appointing Jia Xu as the commander of the Eastern Advance Corps and Zhang Liao as the chief of staff.

In the early hours of tomorrow, he will lead his army to Baimajin.

...........

Hebei.

Jizhou.

Yecheng Mansion.

Guan Yu has been stationed here.

This morning, he received an urgent letter.

Open it up and take a look.

The letter said that there were 50,000 enemy troops who were about to arrive in Jizhou, so be on guard.

Guan Yu didn't believe it.

Hebei is in the rear of the Huaxia Kingdom, and the enemy is in Jiangdong, how can it be possible to cross the Central Plains and come to Hebei to fight.

But.

When he finished reading the letter, he found out that the letter was signed by Guo Jia.

Guo Jia wouldn't lie to him.

He must have received definite information to warn him.

Guan Yu didn't dare to be careless, so he hurriedly gathered the generals in Yecheng, mobilized 20,000 elites, and rushed to Liyang.

Opposite Liyang is Baimajin, and in the middle is the Yellow River.

If Guan Yu wanted to prevent the enemy army from entering Hebei, he had to hold Liyang.

He knew that the enemy army in Jiangdong was very combative. Even the newly formed First and Second Armies were cautious and treading on thin ice. Even if Jia Xu personally commanded, he had to be forced to besiege.

He has 20,000 people in his hands, almost all of them are cold weapons, how can he win this battle?

Guan Yu was thinking all the way.

Until his army crossed the Yushui River and came to the Liyang front. The troops stationed in Liyang received news that the enemy had not come here.

"Strange...."

From the time he received the letter to the time he arrived in Liyang, many days had passed.

According to Guo Jia's calculations, the enemy should have arrived a long time ago.

Now there is not even a shadow, isn't this news accurate?

Guan Yu took the army and stayed in Liyang, and sent someone to reply to Guo Jia, wanting to ask for clarification.

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye.

Two more days.

Guo Jia's reply has not yet arrived.

Guan Yu received a report of defeat!

The enemy had already arrived in Hebei four days earlier. However, they did not intend to attack Liyang, but landed from Pingyuan County.

Now the seven counties of Plains County have all fallen.

The army of the Western Shang Empire was divided into two routes. All the way to the west, preparing to attack Yecheng. All the way north, attack Nanpi. The speed of travel was so fast that Guan Yu didn't even have a chance to react.
