Chapter 332 Who is the oriole?
In front of the Xiaoshi Bridge, the Zhenxi Army finally met, and the military advisor Xu Shu was suddenly listed.
"Thank you for your help from the military advisor!" Huang Xu rushed forward, bowed and said sincerely.
Huang Xu understood that if Xu Shu hadn't rushed over at the last moment and brought such a heavy weapon as a catapult, the Yuzhou army would not have collapsed so quickly, and they would not have broken out of the siege so easily, and they did not know how many brothers died.
"General, it was because his subordinates were not careful that they fell into the trap, causing the army to be trapped, and the generals were killed. He also asked the general to punish his subordinates for their crimes!" Xu Shu looked at the large group of tragic soldiers in front of him, and felt very sad and blamed himself. Tears almost shed. How dare he accept Huang Xu's gratitude? He knelt down in front of Huang Xu's horse with a "bang" and said guiltily.
"Hey! This time, the non-military advisors were not planning well, so the military advisors didn't have to blame themselves. Yuan Shu made a large increase in troops, which was because our army did not notice it in time, which caused the army to be trapped. In terms of faults, the future should be responsible!" Huang Xu jumped off his war horse, helped Xu Shu up, sighed and said with a deep regret.
"Don't think too much, let's withdraw back to the camp first!" After sighing, Huang Xu looked at the generals and said in a deep voice.
Behind them is Yuan Shu's army of more than 100,000 people staring at him?
Although the fire caused by the oil bomb temporarily blocked the Yuzhou army, Yuan Shu was not a good meal and could not take any measures. The bridge of Xiaoshi was only a few feet wide, and it would take some time for the army to evacuate. It would be better to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible!
"What the general said is extremely true!" the generals answered repeatedly.
"Retreat!" Huang Xu shouted loudly.
With Huang Xu's order, teams of Zhenxi Army, which were not well-armed, began to retreat from Xiaoshi Bridge to the south bank of Shihe River.
The Zhenxi Army was busy retreating here. Yuan Shu, the boss of the Yuzhou Army, stood on a high chariot. Through the burning flames, he watched the Zhenxi Army retreat calmly. He was shocked and hated. His face, which had just shown a little excitement, became gloomy again.
Yuan Shu's Yuzhou army also imitated many of them, and there were dozens of them in Hefei City. However, when Yuan Shu saw the power of the Zhenxi Army's catapult, he still couldn't help but feel trembling. Whether it was the projection distance or the fire-carrying oil bomb, Yuan Shu felt frightened. Yuan Shu knew that his catapult was too far inferior to the Zhenxi Army's catapult.
Since Huangfu Jian let the catapult car appear in a high-profile manner on the battlefield in Jingzhou, of course there are ways to restrain it.
The principle and structure of the catapult are very simple and easy to imitate. However, the imitation is a imitation product, and the quality cannot be compared with the authentic products made by Xiaocai Ma Jun, let alone the powerful weapon such as oil bombs. Once the authentic catapult of Zhenxijun meets the counterfeit goods of other princes, the ending is also destined. The catapult of Zhenxijun has an advantage in range. As long as the position of the catapult of the opponent is determined, once the oil bomb falls, the opponent's catapult will be burned and become a pile of coke.
Others can imitate catapults, but they cannot produce oil bombs, and there is not as large amount of sheep oil that Huangfu Jian has collected for so many years.
"Order people to clear the fire road!"
Yuan Shu suppressed his uneasiness and said coldly to Yang Hong, the chief strategist of the Yuzhou Army.
"No!" Yang Hong did not dare to say more and directly conveyed Yuan Shu's order.
The collapsed Yuzhou army was not defeated, but ran aside to avoid the terrible flames brought by the oil bomb. With Yuan Shu's order, the scattered soldiers gathered together again. This time, they did not go to encircle and suppress the Zhenxi Army, but were ordered to clear the fire caused by the Zhenxi Army oil bomb. After the sheep oil in the oil bomb exploded, it was filled with corpses everywhere, and the ground was mostly corpses, which became the best fuel, burning oil and making a "crack" sound, and the burned corpses were extremely terrifying.
With a large number of people and great strength, there is no fear of great difficulties! With the concerted efforts of tens of thousands of Yuzhou troops, a great road was cleared out in the fire. The Yuzhou army cleared the fire very quickly, but the remnants of Zhenxi Army retreated faster. When the Yuzhou army rushed across the Xiaoshiqiao, Huang Xu had already led the remnants back to the camp.
This time, Huang Xu's troops were seriously injured. Tens of thousands of people went to war, and only six thousand people could actually return to the camp. In addition, the three thousand people left behind in the camp, only nine thousand people were left. More than ten thousand people were lost at one time, and even the most elite guard camp also lost one thousand iron cavalry. This is probably the first time for Zhenxi Army!
What's even more serious is that many wounded people among the nine thousand people have lost the power to fight again. Faced with the more than 100,000 Yuan Shu's army that followed, Huang Xu's troops were extremely unoptimistic.
"The three thousand soldiers who left the camp are responsible for the guards, and the rest are temporarily rested!" Huang Xu looked at the somewhat empty camp, straightened his waist and straightened his chest, and said in a deep voice. Although Huang Xu was in a bad mood, he knew that he could not show it at this time. If the generals of the army had no confidence, there would be no way to fight this battle.
Most of the 6,000 soldiers who survived the disaster were injured, and even those who were not injured were exhausted. They were a little difficult to walk, let alone war. They must be asked to hurry up and regain their strength, and be ready to fight at any time.
Huang Xu, Xu Shu, Tai Shi Ci, Zhou Tai, and Jiang Qin were all in a heavy mood. They understood that Yuan Shu's army of more than 100,000 could attack the camp at any time, and what awaited them would be a more severe test.
Several generals returned to the tent and immediately started to discuss urgently.
Huang Xu ordered people to take a pen and write a letter quickly, which stated the situation of the war in Hefei and their current situation.
"Pige group, immediately send this letter to the lord!" Huang Xu ordered a member of the pigeon.
Each army of Zhenxi Army is equipped with ten pigeon crew members, who are specifically responsible for passing letters.
"No!" The members of the pigeon team received the order, took Huang Xu's letter and strode out of the big tent.
The atmosphere in the camp was a bit dull. If you win such a defeat, no one will feel better.
"In the next time, our main task is to defend. Hold the camp and wait for reinforcements!" Huang Xu glanced at the wounded generals and said lightly.
"The generals are injured, so it's better to go down and rest first. The next person is responsible for the defense in the camp for the time being." Xu Shu looked at Huang Xu and others, stood up and pleaded loudly.
Although Xu Shu was a military advisor and a civil servant, he had been practicing martial arts since he was a child and had a good martial arts. I don’t know how he went to fight to kill the enemy, but if he was just guarding the camp, he would probably be no worse than anyone here.
"It's so good. Everyone should treat the wound first, nourish the spirit and accumulate physical strength. A war will happen at any time!" Huang Xu did not say much, nodded and agreed.
The distribution has been decided and everyone is planning to return to the camp, when a burst of rapid footsteps came from outside the tent.
"Report to the general, the lord Fei Ge delivers a letter!" A member of the pigeon team walked in quickly and reported loudly.
"Lord Feige sent a letter? The lord replied so quickly?" Huang Xu asked in confusion after hearing this.
"The general's letter has just been spread, so how could he reply so quickly? This is the letter from the lord to the general." The members of the pigeon team explained patiently.
"Oh, take it over!" Huang Xu said anxiously without thinking about it.
The sailors of the sea depended on the helmsman, and Huang Xu felt a little lost now. He urgently needed his master to give advice and solve the difficulties they are facing.
The members of the pigeon group handed Huangfu Jian's letter over, and Huang Xu opened the letter impatiently, and Huangfu Jian's familiar regular script suddenly came into Huang Xu's eyes.
"Huang Xu, have you been defeated in the city of Hefei? Yuan Shu has added 100,000 troops to Hefei. I have already known this. The reason why I didn't inform you is to discover it yourself. You must understand that only the experience you have gained is the most precious. You are all too young and too proud. It is a good thing for you to suffer some setbacks."
"Remember, failure is not scary. If you are afraid of failure, you will not be able to make any progress! If you are afraid of failure, you will not be able to get up! I believe that after this failure, you will truly mature."
"After Yuan Shu launched a large-scale advance in Hefei, the troops in Yuzhou were already extremely empty. This general ordered Ju Yi and Xu Rong's Hu Xiao Battalion to take over the military affairs of Jingnan. The two generals Ma Teng and Yan Xing led 50,000 Rising Bear Camps to attack Yuzhou."
"In three days, only three days, the counties in Yuzhou will become the rulers of our generals. So you have to give our generals three days in Hefei to hold on to Yuan Shu's main army. Although it is a bit difficult, I believe you can do it!"
"Three days later, this general will lead the personal guard camp, the 5,000 iron cavalry of the Hu Xiao camp, and the 10,000 Jinfan army of Ganning will enter Hefei. The outside of Hefei city will be Yuan Shu's burial place!"
Huang Xu looked at Huangfu Jian's letter, his expression changed, but he was more excited. Everything happened here seemed to be as expected by the master. The reason why he did not tell himself was that he just hoped that he could learn from his failure and grow up as soon as possible. It seemed that the master had high expectations for him!
"Everyone comes and take a look!" Huang Xu passed on Huangfu Jian's letter to Xu Shu, Taishi Ci, Zhou Tai, and Jiang Qin.
"Okay, great! Yuan Shu is really homeless now. Only we are here to hold Yuan Shu's army for three days, and Yuan Shu is probably going to become a turtle in the jar." After Xu Shu finished reading it, his heart was even more turtle. He couldn't calm down for a long time, and he said loudly excitedly.
In an instant, the generals' previous uneasiness disappeared. A strong sense of fighting appeared in their eyes and an excitement on their faces. With such a lord standing behind them, what else can they be afraid of!
Their big defeat is certainly a good thing.
Because of this, Yuan Shu can be more determined to eliminate them and better attract Yuan Shu's army. Now, Huang Xu's remnant army is an attractive bait, waiting for Yuan Shu's big fish to take the bait.
