Chapter 434: Sweeping the Tang Kingdom by the Barbarians
In the southern county, there are many flags and spears covering the sky.
Su Lu is reorganizing his army.
After Cao Hua's defeat, the southern county fell into the hands of the barbarians. Almost all the residents in the city who had not had time to evacuate became the food of the barbarians. There were bones everywhere inside and outside the city, and there were almost no human settlements.
Su Lu stood on the commander's platform, looking at the gradually forming guards, his face a little ugly.
This guard has gone through countless bloody battles, plus three battles with barbarians and three victories. Now it has been reborn from the ashes and is a true warrior.
It's a pity that there are few people.
In order to completely defeat the barbarians, Su Lu used all level 3 cards. Although he successfully defeated the barbarians, the Han army suffered heavy losses. After three stops and two stops, there were 5,000 men, and now only more than 1,000 points were left.
.
The establishment of a health camp.
Su Lu was scratching his head. He originally thought that with these defeated troops, and with the addition of more students from the Wushu Hall, there would be at least thirty or forty thousand troops, which would be enough to take on the barbarians on different battlefields and give them a good beating.
.
It's a pity that God failed to fulfill his wish. He defeated the barbarians three times in three battles, and his own family was basically defeated.
No more troops!
"Commander, are you still worried about the sergeant?"
Xiao Cong limped over and stood behind Su Lu. He looked at the guards who were about to train with a pleased expression and said with admiration.
"A strong army, a truly strong army, has three battles and three victories, and can defeat the strong army of the barbarians."
Xiao Cong really admired Su Lu.
That night, when he originally thought it was a certain death situation, Su Lu single-handedly boosted the morale of the entire army and completely crippled the barbarian pursuit team.
This is the appearance of a peerless general and a military god.
Cao Hua is right. He fought with Su Lu in the past and didn't learn anything. It was really in vain that he had followed the prince for so many years.
"It's a pity that there are few people."
Hua Xun sighed and said, Hua Xun was seriously injured. His face and neck were still wrapped in gauze, and his arms were hanging from his neck.
Su Lu asked, "How many people from Zhao Wu's First Division retreated to Anxi?"
Su Lu asked Xiao Cong.
Xiao Cong silently calculated and said in a deep voice: "If Zhao Wu retreats in an orderly manner, then he can lead about two thousand people."
Su Lu had a constipated expression on his face. This was a drop in the bucket, and if Zhao Wu didn't retreat in an orderly manner and ran like crazy, the two thousand would have turned into two hundred.
Su Lu was a little annoyed, how can we fight like this? Although I am good at commanding the army, I have no army to lead, so what a fight.
"Xiao Cong"
Su Lu passed the military order with a cold face.
Xiao Cong immediately clasped his fists in front of his chest and said respectfully: "The general will be here."
Su Lu's expression remained unchanged, and he said in a deep voice: "Go to Anton, find the new governor of Anton, and bring over all Anton's guards. I'll give you five days. Can you do it?"
Xiao Cong's posture of holding his fists did not change, and his voice was sonorous: "Don't worry, Commander-in-Chief, I will complete the mission even if I don't mess with my brains."
After receiving the military order, Xiao Cong turned around and walked away, with the air of "I will not return if I can't complete the task."
"Those who don't know better would think that he is going to fight Tule to the death."
Wang Si said disdainfully next to him.
I originally thought that Xiao Cong was a general and should have two brushes to lead the army, but who knew that when he went to the battlefield, except for showing some strength in the first battle, he was lying on the carriage and sleeping after that. He didn't exert half of his strength and still won the battle.
Three battles and three victories.
Wang Si and Hua Xun, who had fought hard, felt uncomfortable in their hearts.
Su Lu glanced at Xie Wan, who was also lame, and continued to give instructions.
"General Xie, go to Anxi, find the Zhao Wubu, and order him to return to the West Pavilion and take charge of Anxi. Send me all the guardsmen in Anxi."
Xie Wan accepted the order. These days, fighting with the barbarians, Xie Wan realized the feeling of defeat and understood why the Qin State was completely defeated after losing the prince, and even the country was lost.
The barbarians are really too strong.
Several female captains came over and asked Xie Wan: "General, what did the commander-in-chief say? How should we fight next?"
Xie Wan waved her hand: "Set off immediately to Anxi to recruit guardsmen for the commander-in-chief. Our prince is short of men."
The female captains secretly cheered a few times, finally no longer having to fight face to face with those cannibal beasts.
Xie Wan gave a few words of instruction, got on his horse, and set off for Xiting. After leaving the camp gate, he was glad in his heart that he finally no longer had to face those cannibal barbarians.
In the camp, Cao Hua asked Su Lu: "Commander Commander, we have sent away Xiao Cong and General Xie Wan. What should we do next?"
Su Lu said helplessly: "What else can we do? Wait."
"We only have a thousand soldiers, and we can't afford to fight. With our small number of soldiers, we may not even be able to defeat the barbarian scouts."
All the generals in the camp looked happy, they finally didn't have to fight for a few days.
Su Lu continued his instructions: "Send a large number of scouts into the territory of Xiting to inquire about the movements of the barbarians and the situation of the garrisons in various places. We must inquire clearly about the situation in Wanning, Linhe, and Baima."
Scout Lao He took the order and went.
Three days later, the Anton Guard Army arrived first, led by Huo Ze, a school soldier sent by Su Lu to Xiao Cong. He was born in a peasant family. He was promoted from the Guard Army to study in the Martial Arts Hall. As soon as he graduated,
He was promoted to the rank of Colonel Yihui, and Su Lu appreciated his work, so he went to Anton to lead the army, with him as the main general.
Huo Ze reported to Su Lu the situation of the command of Anton: "General Xiao has collected all the guards in Anton, and basically all the guards who can be gathered are here, with a total strength of 6,892.
General Xiao stayed in Anton and continued to cooperate with the governor of Anton to recruit local mountain people and form a new guard army."
Su Lu nodded and gave instructions: "Go and hand over the sergeant to General Wang Si and cooperate with them in training."
Huo Ze bowed and accepted the order.
Cao Hua entered the camp and reported to Su Lu: "Commander Commander, General Xie has sent news that Zhao Wubu is stationed in Baima Town. There are 1,600 people under his command, and he will cooperate with the 7,900 troops marching from Anxi.
, you can launch a counterattack against Baima at any time."
Su Lu nodded, "Tell Zhao Wu to move closer to the south as soon as possible. I will command all the armies and prepare to conquer Wanning."
"If the barbarians are allowed to stay here any longer, our people will be eaten up."
On that day, Su Lu led his army to attack the south. Within a few days, he attacked the four cities of the south, Baima, Linhe, and Wanning, and reoccupied half of Xiting, forcing the barbarians to retreat to Longshu and Shuangya.
Although the barbarians retreated, the new army commanded by Su Lu also suffered heavy losses. Most of the 15,000 men were lost after several battles. Now there are only 7,000 fighting troops, and every one of them is still injured.
In order to rest and recuperate the soldiers, Su Lu had to stop the offensive and stationed troops in Ning'an, facing the barbarians across the mountain.
On this day, Lao He, who was newly promoted to captain of the scout army, came to report: "The barbarian army withdrew from Shuangya, walked eastward, and approached Sanlin Town of the Tang Dynasty. It seems that they want to attack the Tang Dynasty."
Su Lu's eyes lit up, attacking Xianlin?
"Bring me the defense map."
Soon, Qingfeng spread the defense map on the table. Su Lu leaned over and looked at the junction of the Three Kingdoms. His eyes lit up and he looked at Lao He who was standing aside.
"Lao He, I give you a task, do you dare to do it?"
Old He Dang clasped his fists in his chest and said: "But it depends on the command of the governor."
Su Lu chuckled and pointed to the location of Xianlin Town: "You lead a battalion of scouts to lead the barbarians to attack Xianlin, then go down the Shang River, pass Peng'an, transfer to Dongting Protectorate, and reach Luojiang...
