Chapter 397: Before Dawn

Tai Shi Ci knew why he said he didn't want to go, so the lord acquiesced, the situation on Xu Shu's side was very complicated, and it couldn't be solved by just relying on one or two fierce generals. (.com)

The background of the Taishan thieves is quite complicated, which can be seen from Zang Ba, who is said to be a thief, but their relationship with the local heroes can be described as inextricably linked, and it is not so easy to sort out.

If Zang Ba attacks the North Sea, the threat may be greater, but the response is very simple, and he can even directly copy the tactics he used in Qinghe with a deep mass foundation in the novel chapter. What is the curtain? br/>

Xu Shu didn't have a light cavalry in his hands, but in a place like Beihai, the special combat team might play better than the light cavalry.

In the face of such a tactic, the performance of the Taishan thief will not be much stronger than Zhang Yang, even if it causes a certain loss to Qingzhou, Xu Shu and Tian Feng can work together to support the main force, and then it will be Zang Ba's death.

But in Mount Tai, this battle is complicated, and Xu Shu can't even figure out who is a friend and who is an enemy.

The lord is not bad for Taishan Haoqiang, but it is just good, this year, when Haoqiang supports a certain prince, most of them have quite high expectations, such as from the dragon's work or something, rather than simply a few ordinary officials from the family. Coupled with the inextricable relationship between the Taishan thieves and the local heroes......

In short, Haoqiang is unreliable, and a large part of the people who support Wang Yu have moved to Qingzhou.

If you want to give Xu Shu strong support, you can either send a force back, or Wang Yu will go in person, but these two ways. None of them will work.

Even without the threat of the Huns, it would be dangerous to reduce the forces of the plains. The Great War of Hebei has been fought for so long. It was easy to beat Yuan Shao to the end of the mountain, if he broke through with more than 10,000 remnants. God knows how long the battle will have to last.

After all, he is the son of a great family of the fourth and third princes, as long as the capital is retained, it is not impossible to turn the capital.

"Simply, whether the Huns come or not, let's deal with Yuan Shao's remnants first." Peeling off the cocoon in a complex situation is not Tai Shici's forte, his style is to solve problems directly.

In his opinion, the remnants of Yuan Shao's collection should not have much combat effectiveness. Although there will be a lot of losses in a strong attack, how can you not die in a war? It's a good thing for the lord to be sympathetic to the soldiers, but he is not a mother-in-law either.

"I'm afraid it's not easy." As soon as Tai Shici's words fell, someone poured cold water on him, and when he looked up, he was surprised that it was Xu Huang who spoke!

"Brother Gongming?"

"The night attack didn't do its job, it was all in frustration and ......"

Xu Huang briefly explained the whole process of the night attack. Then explained: "Although Yuan Shao's remnants were defeated, they were all unengaged that night, and they were relatively intact, and they were all elite troops. The level of training is not below that of our army, and the non-commissioned officers are quite brave. The trapped beast is still fighting, and the strong enemy is on the side. If it is a strong attack, our army is likely to follow in the footsteps of Yuan Shao under Gaotang City. ”

A makeshift line of defense that he had desperately built. It was to let Yuan Shao gather troops, but Yuan Shao had been beaten by Wang Yu and had no confidence. I didn't dare to fight, I just wanted to hold on and wait for help.

This is a not very smart choice, it can be said that the vision is superficial to the extreme, but then again, this short-sighted move will cause more trouble to the Qingzhou Army in the short term.

There are three main parts of the troops that are sticking to Yuan Shao's side now: the former Bohai Navy led by Gao Lan, that is, Yuan Shao's earliest descendant troops, are well-equipped and well-trained, and Han Meng's personal guards are subordinate to him; Gao Gan's Bingzhou army, the main force of which was Chen Liu's Gao's private soldiers, when the night was defeated, many of them fled, but the backbone of them all stayed; Then there are the more than 2,000 cavalry of Wen Chou.

The formation of the Gao Ran troops is basically complete, in addition to the sniper units taken away, there are more than 7,000 people; When the senior cadres entered, the army exceeded 10,000, and now there are 5,000 left; Coupled with Wen Chou's cavalry and some stragglers, there are more than 10,000 people, which is similar to Qingzhou.

Although there is still Tian Kai's Youzhou army to help Qingzhou, the Jizhou generals such as Zhang Jaw have not completely surrendered, and someone must be monitored.

All in all, although the Qingzhou Army has the absolute upper hand, in the short term, it does not have an overwhelming advantage. If it is a strong attack on the enemy camp, the advantage is even less obvious.

"Mingshi Mountain is the only high point around the plain, and after Yuan Shao arrived, he has been using it as a palace and built a temporary camp at the foot of the mountain. Although the defense facilities are very ordinary, it is also a camp, somewhat defensive, and our army tried to attack twice a few days ago, but the result was ......" Xu Huang didn't finish his words, but just sighed.

The result of the trial was that Yuan Jun's fighting spirit was still above the level, and the defensive battle was also fought in a very orderly manner, and if he wanted to attack, he had to be prepared to pay a huge price.

Tai Shi Ci thought about it again and again, but he didn't know the point, and finally patted his forehead and said with a headache: "After doing it for a long time, the situation on our side is no worse than that of Yuan Zhi, and it is also very complicated." That jaw is also true, the lord values him so much, and let him live a few times, why doesn't he know how to lift? ”

"The jaw has been lowered." Jia Xu interjected.

"Huh?" Tai Shici was at a loss, looked at Jia Xu, and then looked at Xu Huang.

"There are a total of 10,000 soldiers and horses in the north camp of Jizhou, and there are only more than 2,000 troops in Zhangjaw, how can there be a reason to make a decision?" Jia Xu said with a smile: "After seeing the suicide note, he asked to surrender on the spot, but his two thousand people, the role is not decisive, everyone else is still waiting, if he leaves the camp alone to surrender, it is easy to cause unpredictable effects, so ......"

The existence of the Huns is an open secret, and although the generals of Jizhou are very disappointed in Yuan Shao, it does not mean that everyone recognizes Wang Yu. After all, their status in Jizhou is already very high, and after being merged into the Qingzhou Group, their status will definitely decline, at least it is impossible to leave the town and be powerful.

Therefore, until the last moment when the mountains and rivers are exhausted, their luck psychology will not be dispelled.

It is not surprising that they would think so, according to him, the entry of the Tu troops can be said to be a desperate attack on the Montenegrin army in Quang Binh. It's just a part of it, and its main force has been gathering at the junction of Hanoi and Wei County...... Specific numbers. One is not known at the moment, but more than 20,000 rides. There always is. ”

The heroism of Ether Shi Ci was taken aback by the number Jia Xu said. 20,000 soldiers is not much, but if it is 20,000 cavalry, it is terrible.

Gongsun Zhan led the Youzhou border army, with great achievements, and there were only 10,000 horsemen under his command. Zhao Yun walked around the three counties of northern Hebei and Youzhou, and looted Gongsun Zan to the point that he couldn't open the pot, so he got three thousand horses out.

As a result, the Huns came with 20,000 turquoise horsemen. Isn't it scary?

"No wonder ......" Tai Shici opened his mouth, and only said these two words for a while.

No wonder the lord has achieved such a brilliant victory, but he still can't make the Jizhou generals die. If before the Battle of Hebei, 20,000 cavalry was actually nothing, but now, both sides have suffered heavy casualties and are exhausted.

Excluding Yuan Shao's lineage, Jizhou's once 100,000 troops were only 10,000 remnants; Gongsun Zhan's cavalry directly shrank by nearly half. The foot soldiers also lost more than 10,000 people before and after, and there was no recovery of the grand occasion when he spread Hebei and crusaded against Yuan Shao.

The Qingzhou Army is stronger than these two, and the main force still exists. But before and after, the elite of the third battalion also lost nearly 2,000, and it was 16,000 when it was full. Now there are only about 14,000 left. Coupled with Zhao Yun's newly recruited cavalry, the overall strength has not changed. The strength of the cavalry was also greatly enhanced.

However, he had to face more than 20,000 Hu Qi. It's still a bit suspenseful.

Thinking about it this way, it is even more unrealistic to storm Yuan Shao, Hu Cai is a pure cavalry unit, hurry up and whip up, if you come to help in the starry night, even if you come from Wei County, it will be a matter of two or three days.

Here, Yuan Shao put on a stubborn posture, in case the attack was halfway through, the Huns would be killed, and the tired army would face the tiger and wolf enemy cavalry, even if Sun Wu was reincarnated, he could only end up hating.

Tai Shi Ci thought about it, but he couldn't think of any good way, thinking about it, his eyes rolled, and Leng Ding patted a fart and came out: "Fortunately, the lord made a quick decision, and he fought a night attack, otherwise if this was a battle between chariots and horses, halfway through the battle, Hu Qi would have come out...... Tsk, the lord is really destiny. ”

His turn was very blunt, but it was very effective in dispelling the heavy atmosphere, everyone laughed when they heard it, Xu Huang quipped: "I haven't seen you for a few days, Ziyi's mouth has become a lot sweeter." ”

"Gongming, this is because you don't know him." Jia Xu pointed at Tai Shici, and corrected with a smile: "Ziyi, this person, he can't afford to be unprofitable, if he says something to flatter, he must have done something." If you don't believe it, just wait, it won't take a moment or three for him to ask the lord for an order and go to the gate of Yuan Ying to scold and challenge. ”

"Huh?" Tai Shi Ci glared, looking very surprised: "Strategist, I haven't said anything, how do you know?" ”

"If you can't guess your thoughts, my old bones should also rest and go to recuperate." Jia Xu smiled even brighter: "However, Ziyi, you have made a mistake this time, this kind of thing like scolding will definitely not be your turn, if you want to behave, wait for Yuan Shao to be scolded, or be angry." ”

As if to make a footnote to Jia Xu's words, a flash flood and tsunami suddenly came from outside the camp, and 10,000 people shouted together, shocking and shocking: "Zi is a thousand-year-old turtle, shrinking his head when he loses power, and the heavenly punishment will be unavoidable, and he will turn into ashes in a moment......"

Tai Shi Ci was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "It turns out that Zhengping has been scolding outside?" The result? ”

Jia Xu shook his head and said with regret: "Early yesterday morning, when he first started scolding, Yuan Shao showed up, and his face should have been very angry. But then he simply didn't show up, obviously determined to wait for the Huns, otherwise, we can't guess what his reliance is. ”

You Heng, who is professionally scolding, can't scold him, so don't expect to solve Yuan Shao in advance. The latter is not a fool after all, attacking Gao Tang is strong enough, and there are 20,000 Hu Qi such a powerful hole card, and now he has reached the edge of the cliff, no matter how ugly you Heng scolds, no matter how tricky it is, it is impossible to provoke him to be desperate.

"What then?" Tai Shi Ci didn't think about it, and looked directly at Wang Yu, he knew that no matter how difficult it was, in the hands of the lord, there would be a very reliable answer.

He saw a familiar smile on Wang Yu's face, but the answer he heard surprised him, and the answer was only one word: "Wait!" (To be continued......)
