Zhao Feng hadn't replied yet. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Another guard ran into the council room, knelt on one knee, and arched his hand: "Enlighten the lord!" ”
"It has been found out that the army outside the South City Gate is determined to be Dong Zhuojun!"
"Sima Zhang has already ordered the city gate to be closed."
Zhao Feng waved his hand: "Got it." ”
"Let's go down."
The two guards arched their hands: "Wow! ”
After speaking, he stood up and slowly exited the conference hall.
Wait for the two guards to leave.
Zhao Feng opened his mouth and said: "Dong Zhuojun came so fast. ”
"I don't know who is leading the army!"
Tian Feng pondered for a moment: "Judging from the time, it should still be Xu Rong leading the army." ”
"However, after yesterday's battle, the number of troops that Xu Rongjun can use should be less than 15,000 soldiers and horses, including more than 4,000 cavalry."
"That is, the infantry is about eleven thousand."
"The actual number of troops that can attack will only be less, because there must be a lot of wounded among them."
"If it can be determined that it is Xu Rong's army, then there will be no siege today!"
Zhao Feng nodded.
Judging from yesterday's battle, Xu Rong led about 25,000 or so troops.
Among them, Hua Xiong led 5,000 infantry and 2,500 cavalry to fight with him, and finally withdrew a total of about 3,500 soldiers and horses.
Among these soldiers and horses, there must be some who were injured and could not participate in the battle for the time being.
Xu Rong led an army of 17,500 and fought a big battle with Liu Dai's 25,000 soldiers and horses.
From what Zhao Feng saw at that time.
Xu Rongjun's casualties ranged from 30 to 40 percent.
Casualties are generally counted for those who have been killed or seriously injured, and simply put, the number of soldiers who need to be filled.
What Tian Feng said is only a rough estimate.
The specific situation is definitely less than the number estimated by Tian Feng.
Because in the end, Xu Rong went to pursue Liu Dai's army, and in the end, Liu Dai only had more than 4,000 remnants to escape.
In the process, Xu Rong's army will definitely have some casualties.
Zhang Liao arched his hand: "Lord! ”
"I request that Zhao Tiezhu, Pei Yuanshao and others, and the 1,000 recruits they trained, be allocated to me and Zhou Sima."
"While there is still time, let's seize the time to practice and run in."
In fact, these recruits, who have been training for more than a year, are no longer considered recruits, but they have not been established, so they still bear the name of recruits.
Zhao Feng pondered for a moment: "In this way, allocate six hundred soldiers to Zhang Liao, and the remaining four hundred soldiers to Zhou Cang." ”
Zhang Liao and Zhou Cang walked to the center of the hall and arched their hands: "Thank you, lord!" ”
With that, the two of them exited the council chamber and went to receive the recruits.
They all need to train these recruits and their old subordinates together, not to mention training to the point of command, but also to the point of being able to listen to the command.
Because there isn't much time given to them to train.
Even if it is Zhang Wu and Tian Feng's troops who go to defend the city in the past few days, they don't need to defend the city for the time being, but they can't defend it for a few days, and they will be rotated.
Although new recruits were allocated to the past, Zhang Liao and Zhou Cang's troops were still not in a full state.
More than 300 of Zhou Cang's troops were killed in battle, more than 100 were seriously wounded, and almost 500 people could not go into battle.
Zhang Liao's troops were killed more than 600 people, and those who were seriously injured or anything were not counted, and they were still not full.
Even after replenishing the troops, the wounded soldiers of the Zhou Cang tribe were healed, and the strength was about 1,400 people.
Zhang Liao's troops, after the wounded soldiers were healed, were about 2,000 people.
This time the soldiers were replenished, and the casualties continued to expand, and Zhao Feng had no more soldiers to replenish.
No matter whose part it is, it will only get less and less fought.
And the problem now is that Dong Zhuo's army is in Aocang, and Zhao Feng has to fight!
After Zhang Liao and Zhou Cang left.
Zhao Feng looked at Tian Feng: "Tian Feng has a strategy to retreat from the enemy?" ”
Tian Feng shook his head: "Dong Zhuojun came so quickly, he must have known that Ao Cang is the big granary of the coalition army." ”
"So there is no way to retreat from the enemy, we can only hold on!"
Zhao Feng stood up: "Okay." ”
"Then come with me and go to the south city wall to have a look!"
After saying that, he walked directly to the outside of the conference hall.
Everyone saluted: "Wow! ”
After speaking, he followed Zhao Feng and left.
The group rode to the south gate and climbed directly to the city wall.
Zhao Feng held the city wall with both hands and looked at it: "Judging from the scale." ”
"It's not much different from what Brother Yuan Hao said."
"It's just a little farther away, and I can't see the handsome flag clearly."
"But I think it should be Xu Rong."
Tian Feng looked at Dong Zhuojun: "Judging from the formation. ”
"There will definitely be no siege today."
"What we need to worry about now is how many more troops Dong Zhuo will send over to attack the city!"
Zhao Feng pondered for a moment: "Aocang is the big granary of the coalition army. ”
"The coalition forces will definitely not sit back and watch Aocang be broken."
"I just don't know when the coalition will send troops over for reinforcements."
Tian Feng shook his head: "In my opinion, I'm afraid the coalition forces will not send troops to support." ”
"First, the coalition forces are not short of food and grass in a short period of time, so they will definitely not be too careful in terms of rescue."
"Second, yesterday, the 30,000 soldiers and horses of the coalition army were defeated by more than 10,000 Xiliang iron cavalry, and the morale of the coalition army is currently insufficient."
"Third, the coalition forces also want to take the opportunity to weaken our troops, you must know that in yesterday's battle, the coalition forces were all defeated, and only we were victorious!"
Zhao Feng sighed inwardly.
On the coalition side, they are not united, and they are calculating each other, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like Dong Zhuo can beat it.
Xingyang, high platform.
The princes of the towns were not very interested because of yesterday's defeat.
Then.
A guard ran up, knelt down on one knee, and arched his hand: "Boss Qiqi!" ”
"The sentry cavalry came to report, Dong Thief Army Xu Rong, leading the army, has already arrived in Aocang!"
Liu Dai waved his hand: "Go down." ”
The guard arched his hand: "Whew." ”
After saying that, he stood up and exited the high platform.
After the guards left, Liu Dai looked at the princes: "Princes! ”
"Aocang is a heavy land of grain and grass, and there must be no loss."
"Who wants to lead troops to reinforcements?"
Yuan Yi shook his head: "I had a big battle with Dong Thief Army yesterday. ”
"I'm injured and it's not easy to lead the troops!"
Then the scene cooled down, and no one continued to speak.
Liu Dai's face was ugly and said, "I had a big battle with Xu Rongjun yesterday. ”
"There was originally a crisis, but fortunately, Zhao Feng led troops to reinforce and contained Huaxiong's cavalry, and I was already victorious."
"It was because of the slow dispatch of the troops by the princes that the grain team was robbed, and I hurriedly withdrew the army to protect the grain team because I was worried about the grain team."
"It was because of the hasty withdrawal of the army that I was pursued all the way by Xu Rong, and now I only have 8,000 soldiers and horses left, and the princes will not let me lead the troops to reinforcements!"
The princes of the towns, still no one spoke.
Liu Dai had no choice but to name and say: "Brother Boye and Brother Meng Zhuo both had a big battle with Dong Thief's Army yesterday. ”
"Brother Yuan Wei, Brother Meng Gao, Brother Yuncheng, what do you think?"
