When Mo Xiaobai and Drama Meng met, this Luoyang hero was red-eyed, collecting the bodies of those rangers he might or might not have met before, but died in Xingyang.

The palm of his hand ran over the cheeks of the dead rangers, closing their eyes with his own hands. Drama Meng walked past Mo Xiaobai's side silently, and went to look for the next brother.

Seeing this, Mo Xiaobai understood that Ju Meng didn't want to be disturbed, so he shook his head with a wry smile and walked down the city wall with Zhou Yu.

Under the city wall, there is a temporary medical house, and almost all the doctors in Xingyang City are here, and everyone is very busy.

Some rangers who are not too seriously injured can't wait and can only do it themselves. Fortunately, most of the rangers are no strangers to simple trauma treatment, so they took medicine to clean up the wound a little and bandaged it themselves.

"Gong Jin, help me remove my armor and take some medicine and I'll deal with it myself."

Mo Xiaobai's experience in his previous life for more than ten years was not in vain, and he couldn't handle too serious injuries, but it was not difficult to deal with a little sword injury.

After several openings on his body were bandaged, Mo Xiaobai didn't stop for long, and walked directly to the county office.

Xingyang is not a big dream town, and he still has to communicate with Xingyang Ling in advance about the compensation for the casualties.

Walking into the county office, don't look at Xingyang Ling, who didn't appear on the battlefield in the city from beginning to end, but the workload here is not small, because all the logistics are on his shoulders.

Organize people to carry ordnance, or prepare food, arrange a place for the wounded to rest, a series of trivial things, and toss Xingyang Ling enough.

Hearing that Mo Xiaobai was going to give bereavement pensions to the soldiers in this battle, Xingyang Ling was silent for a while, and then had to nod in agreement.

Whether Xingyang can be kept at the moment depends on those rangers, they have made such a great effort and sacrificed a lot of companions, how can they do it without taking out some rewards.

What's more, Mo Xiaobai also said that he would bear the expenses himself, and there was no need for Xingyang Ling to embezzle the county government's public funds.

After a brief conversation between the two, the amount of the bereavement pension was determined, and the casualty statistics of the first battle of Xingyang also appeared in front of Mo Xiaobai.

Of the 208 killed, 111 seriously wounded, and almost all the rest were lightly wounded.

………

"This battle was unfavorable, and 2,741 soldiers were lost, including 3 generals."

Just as Mo Xiaobai was looking at the list of the wounded, far outside Xingyang City, Pang De and several generals around him were also sitting together, talking about the casualties of the coalition army.

"More than half of the soldiers and horses have been lost, and I am responsible for improper command, and I will tell you the truth. But we can't retreat tonight, we must stay and complete the next task. ”

What's next?

Several people around looked at each other, but none of them spoke.

In today's battle, the tenacity of the Xingyang defenders has exceeded their expectations, and they have all hit this one, what task are they talking about?

Do you have to fight out the soldiers?

"Tonight, we're going to call for battle in batches."

Pang De took in the eyes of the generals around him, and then spoke: "It's not that you want to attack at night, but a plan to exhaust the enemy, so that the Xingyang defenders will not rest for half a moment." During the day, more than half of us were killed and wounded, and the Xingyang defenders were not better, not to mention that they had few troops, and it was the time to be exhausted at this moment. ”

Force the Xingyang defenders to ask for help!

This is the purpose of Pang De's visit to Xingyang.

Hearing that they didn't want to continue fighting, the rest of the generals reluctantly nodded.

In the afternoon, there was a fierce battle, and everyone had a lot of injuries, and if they continued to fight, they would have to hurt their muscles and bones, and they couldn't turn around and substitute for their own hosts.

However, since it is a strategy to exhaust the enemy, it is not in the way to accept military orders.

After nightfall, the entire Xingyang City is already immersed in addition to the bright lights of the city gate tower.

The soldiers and rangers slept in batches, and the people in the city who helped transport all kinds of equipment and materials were all sleeping soundly at home.

It would have been a peaceful and peaceful night, barring any surprises. However, as the time gradually moved towards the middle of the night, a rapid heavy drum suddenly spread from a position just a hundred feet away from the city.

As soon as the drums sounded, one of the garrison soldiers, tired from a day's work, straightened up, and at once called out to his companions.

The word of the enemy attack spread throughout half of Xingyang County in an instant.

Mo Xiaobai hadn't slept in the first place, and when he heard the soldier's report, he immediately set off to the city, but when he walked up, there was almost no movement of the soldiers attacking outside.

"What's going on?"

"My lord, the drums outside the city are beating loudly, I'll wait, I'll think"

One of the night watchmen responded with a fist clenched, but he hesitated to stop in the middle of his sentence. Mo Xiaobai knew what he didn't say later, and waved his hand: "Go back, I don't blame you." ”

After speaking, he looked at Ju Meng and Zhou Yu, who were also rushing to the city, and said with a smile: "It seems that our opponent is unwilling, he failed to break the city in the afternoon battle, and now he is actually playing a tired enemy trick with us." ”

Tactics to exhaust the enemy.

Mo Xiaobai is really not too familiar.

Because he had used this trick himself, Qilin Village was tossed by him at that time.

It's just that Mo Xiaobai's strategy of exhausting the enemy at the beginning, at least dispatched the Yuanrong crossbow to deter Qilin Village, and now the coalition forces outside are so simple to beat the drum twice, in his opinion, it is really not very careful.

"Gong Jin, how are we going to deal with it?"

"Lord, it's time to send a message to Ao Cang."

Zhou Yu looked out of the city through the moonlight, and said with a smile: "Since the coalition forces outside the city want to win a decisive battle with us and others, why not give him this opportunity?" ”

"Do you use Hongyan?"

"Hongyan will send one, and then pick out two rangers and send them out of the city to Aocang."

Zhou Yu opened his mouth to answer, and Mo Xiaobai quickly understood what he meant. Since the other party wants to lure Li Guang out of Aocang so much, then let Li Guang come out.

The coalition forces can use the siege of Xingyang to coerce Li Guang, then they can also make Li Guang retreat to attract their attention, and at the same time play another hole card.

Han Jundang, and more than a thousand iron horsemen on his side.

When the two wild geese flew out of Xingyang City, under the dim moonlight, almost no outsiders noticed.

In just half an hour, Li Guang and Han Yudang received the Hongyan handbook one after another.

Although it was late at night, Li Guang immediately issued an order for the whole army to be reorganized, and he could rush to the final decisive battlefield just by waiting for the final order of the lord to arrive.

On the other side, Han Yudang did not delay, and immediately summoned the cavalry out of the mountain after receiving the order.

In order to wait for the most suitable fighter, he is almost moldy these days. Now that Mo Xiaobai's letter came, he didn't want to wait for another second.

Mo Xiaobai's troops and horses began to move gradually, and Pang De, who had been monitoring Xingyang City's every move, also got the information that someone in Xingyang was galloping away on horseback.

After receiving this information, Pound finally had a smile on his face.

As long as the defenders in Aocang can come out, it will be worth sacrificing 2,000 people.

Ao Cang will definitely fall into the hands of the coalition forces.
