It was still sunny during the day, but suddenly turned cloudy in the evening, but fortunately it didn't rain.
The battlefield that was filled with loud killings a few hours ago is now silent. The Hu cavalry have retreated, but it is obvious that the Han army cannot withdraw yet.
No infantry army can maintain a complete formation when retreating in the dark night. As long as the formation is in chaos and Zhuang Bingling and Huang Shenggong are clear, the retreating Hu cavalry will immediately rush up like hungry wolves, even with the cover of night.
It is very difficult for the soldiers and horses under his command to escape.
So what they can do, apart from sending Di Feng to report the news to Lian Ping, is to stay where they are and build as many defenses as possible. For example - Trap the Horse Cave!
Huying is not far away.
The Han army was worried about rain, and they were also worried about rain. Because when the weather was high, the strings of the bows would become loose if they were exposed to the rain.
Even with the bow-making skills of the Central Plains, bows and arrows in the humid areas of the south could not be preserved for a long time. The shortcomings of Hu Di's riding bow were even more obvious.
Without the suppression of bows and arrows, the price to annihilate the Han army would undoubtedly be much heavier with scimitars and horses. No one wanted to do this, whether the corpses were driven away or the tribal leaders below.
Therefore, they are also praying that it will not rain. However, things are never simple. In addition to the strategy of annihilating the Han army, Xi Zhubaxiu also laid out another path for all the leaders and leaders in tonight's tent.
In front of us - conquer Lianping City.
Should we pay a considerable price to wipe out the 6,000 to 7,000 Han troops in front of us, or should we leave a small number of troops to contain these enemies and turn the main force to attack Lianping City?
"We only have two days—"
"A few of the Han Dog Di Fengs have already escaped from our encirclement. The situation here cannot be hidden from Lian Ping. Tonight, they will report the news to Chong'an County and even Juyan City. Wu Hengfei
The old man will no longer be fooled by the captain's bluff. The troops heading south from Juyan City will arrive in just two days. This is only if the captain delays along the way. Otherwise, it will only take one day.
Urgent march..."
"Of course the soldiers and horses of Hujietan and Puxulan can turn around and join the captain to eat the Han army going south, but there are also Han troops behind them, especially Taichang County.
I don't know what choice the captain would make, let alone how Wu Hengfei would decide.
This raid may turn into a decisive battle and there is no telling, that is not something we should worry about. We only need to see Chong'an, we only need to see Lianping, in two days, at least two days...
…”
The billowing murderous aura radiated from Zizhu Bahxiu's body, and it was as cold as bone marrow. All the leaders in the big tent uttered pitiful voices.
He will never forget that general flag with the word "Zhu". It's a pity that he didn't see it on the battlefield today. But this is better. If Zhu Biao doesn't show up, it will prove that he is still in Lianping City, then he can defeat Lianping City himself.
Pingcheng, while washing the whole city with blood, he also took revenge.
"I want that guy to watch the entire Lian Ping City turn into a sea of blood..." This kind of revenge is satisfying. The attraction for Zizhu Bashiu is far greater than that of the six or seven thousand Han troops in front of him.
"It is reported that there are still many of our tribesmen in the city. Han Gou has moved the war horses further south, but the tribesmen captured in the humiliating battle are still imprisoned in Lianping..."
The faces of most of the leaders in the tent had become hesitant. Before, all they could think of was how to deal with the Han army in the encirclement in front of them, but now... Shizhu Baxiu pointed out another way for them.
It is normal for people to bully the weak and fear the strong. The Han army in the encirclement is not a piece of fat that is easy to eat, but a hard bone. As for Lianping City, although Hu Qi is not good at attacking the city, it still depends on how many defenders there are in the city.
!
The Han infantry in the encirclement now has six Army and Sima flags. According to the detailed reports, the Han infantry that came to level up only had five Army and Sima flags. One of the six big flags carried the flag.
It's the character 'Li'. One of the three garrison divisions in Lianping County has the surname Li.
It is clear from this that when Zhuang Bingling left Lianping, he also brought out a garrison in the city. Lianping County, which originally had only three thousand garrison troops, now has only two thousand. Including Zhu Biao,
The total number of infantry and cavalry is only three thousand.
But what about the casualties in the previous battles? Even the two thousand and five thousand Han troops in Pingcheng will not be able to arrive, right? A large number of tribesmen will also be detained...
The last straw that broke the camel's back, everyone in the tent suddenly united in thinking - attack Lian Ping!
We don't have any extravagant expectations that we can actually rescue many tribesmen. The Han army will definitely take the first step in the critical moment. But it is understandable that the defenders of Lianping City are weak. There are so many Han people hiding inside. The financial and material resources of a county are quite rich.
of.
Five years ago, although King Youxian's army passed by Lianping and swept through its northern border, it did not attack Lianping County. The original wealth of Lianping County was still quite well preserved. No matter how you calculate it, it would be better than fighting against six or seven thousand Han people.
It would be better if the army came.
After defeating six to seven thousand Han troops, how many people would you lose? How much gain would you gain?
There is a steelyard in everyone's heart, and the two sides are not proportional.
——————————Lianping County——————————————
"Two of you, General Zhuang and General Huang, if the barbarians just surround us but don't fight or just contain them, and the main force rushes towards us... how likely is it?"
Lin Yiqing's face turned pale. More than 8,000 cavalry were surrounded. If Zhuang Bingling and Huang Sheng failed, the entire Chong'an County would be shaken. And if Hu Qi avoided the real situation and attacked the weak, Lianping County would be the first to bear the brunt - there was a group of people in front.
After such a humiliating defeat, Lin Yiqing did not believe that he wanted to take revenge. Currently, Lianping County only had a military strength of just over 2,000 people. How could he resist the enemy who had more than 20,000 soldiers or even less?
Lin Yiqing, who had not commented on General Zhuang Huang's attack before, was now complaining.
Zhu Biao and Zhu Yunhua looked at each other, with deep worry in their eyes. It was a problem that Lin Yiqing could think of, but they could not think of it. But what can they do if they just think of it? There is nothing they can do if they are not strong enough.
"Sir Lin, let alone tonight, I would like to ask you to summon the strong men in the city immediately tomorrow morning and instruct the land security guards in each district to carry out all war preparation measures as soon as possible -"
"Don't worry, Lieutenant Zhu, we are from Lin Province." Lin Yiqing responded solemnly. These things need to be done by the civilian officials, and he has no shirking responsibility.
"Does Zhu Sima have anything to add?" Zhu Yunhua asked Zhu Biao. After the victory at the East City Gate, his attitude towards Zhu Biao took a higher level.
Respectfully. But Zhu Yunhua deeply felt that Biao Biao was not a thing in the pool, and that he would prosper sooner or later.
