Shapotou, Gao Xianzhi, and Zhang Yichao retreated here, with 300,000 troops in the Western Expedition, and only 180,000 survived.

If it weren't for the desperate battle between Li Siye and other military generals, they would have killed a large number of Liangzhou soldiers, and the surviving soldiers might have less than 100,000.

"We still have 180,000 troops, not completely defeated, but still have hope of turning the tables."

"If we cannot understand how Helian Bobo ambushed 100,000 times, we will not be able to defeat the Liangzhou army."

"At that time, the scouts had been sent to search for all possible ambushing places around the battlefield. There was also the Iron Eagle Scout's spiritual eagle's bird's eye view of the entire battlefield. There were 100,000 ambushing soldiers, and it was impossible to hide!"

"Can they be hiding in the cave?"

"Impossible, what cave can hide 100,000 people?"

Gao Xianzhi, Feng Changqing, Zhang Yichao, Li Siye and other military generals argue endlessly.

In addition to Zhang Yichao's Guiyi Army, which maintained a high morale due to Zhang Yichao's influence, the morale of the Anxi Army and the Dangxiang Army was extremely low.

The defeat in the Battle of Wuwei was a huge blow to the surviving 180,000 Xia soldiers.

Three hundred thousand people, only 180,000 survived, which means that 40% of the soldiers were killed.

Helian Bobo's 100,000 ambushers were too deadly in the Battle of Wuwei, which led to the collapse of 300,000 Xia troops.

Any hero who can dominate for a while is not a simple person.

However, Gao Xianzhi, Feng Changqing and others were still unable to see through Helian Bobo's ambush plan.

If it cannot be seen through, it may be defeated by Helian Bobo's ambush in the future.

"Since our army is defeated and our morale is sluggish, we should set up defenses in Shapotou at this time to prevent the Liangzhou army from taking the opportunity to attack Huaiyuan Town... Otherwise, if Huaiyuan Town is lost, we will not escape the blame!"

Gao Xianzhi's scalp was numb.

Zhang Hua helped Gao Xianzhi and Zhang Yichao rebuild the Anxi Army and Guiyi Army, and was kind to them as much as a mountain. As a result, his defeat in the Battle of Wuwei was likely to trigger a series of reactions.

If Huaiyuan Town is lost, there will be an earthquake in Guanzhong.

The importance of Huaiyuan Town is that it is a military city that controls the Helan Mountain area.

Huaiyuan Town is lost, and Zhang Hua, who attacked Jieting, must return to Guanzhong, resulting in a change of offense and defense.

Judging from the commander's strategic vision, it is extremely dangerous to move the whole body at this time.

"Stand to Shapotou and ask for help from Guanzhong."

"I hope I can keep Shapotou."

Gao Xianzhi, Zhang Yichao and others had no better way, so they could only stick to Shapotou leading to Huaiyuan Town before morale recovered.

The 180,000 Xia army was in panic because the heroes of the Liangzhou army such as Dong Zhuo and Helian Bobo were likely to rush to the east after cleaning the battlefield.

Gao Xianzhi and Zhang Yichao also frowned, and could only take one step at a time.

At this moment, the grain transport team from Huaiyuan Town met Gao Xianzhi and Zhang Yichao's 180,000 troops in Shapotou.

"This Western Expedition should be sure to win. General Gao and General Zhang are both long-time generals on the battlefield, so how could they be defeated?"

The Heishui City Captain was also in the grain transport team. Seeing the morale of 180,000 soldiers, the swords and blades were rolled, the armor was damaged, and even the war horses were damaged. It was obvious that after experiencing a fierce battle, the Heishui City Captain was shocked.

Gao Xianzhi was the Jiedushi of Anxi, and Zhang Yichao was the Jiedushi of Guiyi. Both of them were long-time generals of the Tang Dynasty, not to mention Banchao, Hou Dingyuan, the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Zhang Hua trusted these three people and believed that this army could win.

But underestimating any hero may pay the price.

Huo Qubing was also in the grain transport team. Seeing the morale of more than 100,000 troops was sluggish, Huo Qubing frowned slightly.

The morale of the 180,000 Xia army was sluggish and not optimistic.

Gao Xianzhi and his deputy general Feng Changqing were in charge of Zhang Chao and Zhang Huaishen’s uncle and nephew, inspecting Shapotou and inspecting defenses.

"General, the captain of Hei Shui City, asked for a meeting, claiming that there was one person who might be able to turn the tide."

When Gao Xianzhi and Zhang Yichao were helpless, the captain of Heishui City took the initiative to meet Gao Xianzhi and Zhang Yichao.

"Hei Shui City is in the south of the desert. The Hei Shui Captain does not guard the city. What are you doing here?"

The Heishui City Captain only has one thousand soldiers. Compared with Gao Xianzhi, Zhang Yichao, a real-powered general who is in charge of the 150,000 army, has a far inferior position.

However, the Hei Shui City Captain wanted to recommend one person, claiming that the other party could turn the tide, which surprised Gao Xianzhi and Zhang Yichao.

"Bring them to see me."

"Affect the order."

Soon, the captain of Heishui City, led a few personal soldiers to meet Gao Xianzhi, the commander of Anxi Army, and Zhang Yichao, the commander of Guiyi Army.

"The villain is Zhang Dafu, the guardian of Hei Shui City. He escorted this person to Chang'an. This person must be able to turn the tide!"

The Captain of Hei Shui City took the initiative to introduce a military general, and his expression was a little excited.

"Can this person really turn the tide?"

Gao Xianzhi and Zhang Yichao looked at the young general in his twenties beside the Captain of Heishui City. It is hard to imagine that such a person could turn the tide.

The Xia army had only 180,000 people left, and morale was generally sluggish. The Liangzhou army still had 300,000 people. The more they fought, the more brave he became, the more he was brave, and the current situation was extremely dangerous.

Gao Xianzhi and Zhang Yichao dare not say that they can turn the tables in adversity under such a situation.

Zhang Dafu, an insignificant young captain, claimed that the recommended person could turn the tide and save the building, which made Gao Xianzhi and Zhang Yichao have to doubt it.

Huo Qubing has been restraining his breath, and he looks like a tall figure with a hundred generals with sword-browed eyebrows and starry eyes.

Zhang Dafu wiped the sweat from his forehead and said mysteriously: "Two generals, these are not simple characters..."

Huo Qubing went straight to the point: "I am Huo Qubing, the General of the Great Han Cavalry!"

Jujube

"Huo, Huo Qubing!"

"Can it be the champion Hou!"

Gao Xianzhi, Zhang Yichao, Li Siye and other military generals were all shocked!

They never expected that the young captain Zhang Dafu, the recommended Wu will be the champion of the Han Dynasty, Hou Huo Qubing!

If it was Huo Qubing, then Huo Qubing's courage would indeed turn the tables in adversity!

"Huo Qubing, who was Fenglangjuxu, didn't expect to see him one day!"

Gao Xianzhi and Zhang Yichao are both famous generals in the border guards. They highly praised Huo Qubing, who sealed the wolf and the Juxu. When they saw him, they couldn't believe it.

"Are you really Huo Qubing?"

Ban Chao from the Eastern Han Dynasty looked at Huo Qubing with a bit of fanaticism.

These military generals present were all famous generals from their respective dynasties, guarding the frontiers and conquering all directions. Who hasn’t heard of Huo Qubing?

Zhang Dafu said from the side: "General Zhao Ponu's letter confirms that he is the champion Hou. I believe everyone will not doubt General Zhao's judgment, right?"

Gao Xianzhi, Zhang Yichao and other generals looked at each other. Indeed, no one knew Huo Qubing better than Zhao Ponu, who was the deputy general of Huo Qubing.

Even Zhang Hua sent Zhao Ponu to Mobei not only because Zhao Ponu was familiar with the customs and languages ​​of the Huns, but also because Zhao Ponu was Huo Qubing's army Sima and could have a relationship with Huo Qubing.

"I'm willing to help you."

Huo Qubing learned that there was war in Wuwei County, and his eyes were full of fighting spirit.

Huo Qubing is a genius born for war. Only war can make Huo Qubing feel excited.

In Huo Qubing's opinion, Gao Xianzhi and Zhang Yichao had 180,000 troops left, and they were still far from the end of their lives.

"Maybe it can really turn the tide."

"We join forces to turn defeat into victory. Huaiyuan Town cannot be missed!"

"The news about Huo Qubing in our camp should not be spread, otherwise Dong Zhuo, Helian Bobo and others will definitely be prepared."

Gao Xianzhi, Zhang Yichao and other military generals were already full of sorrow, but because Huo Qubing appeared, it seemed like a dose of heart-boosting agent.

After all, Sun Wu, Han Bai, Wei, Huo, Li Yue, these are the top military generals in ancient times.

"Report! Pan Mei led 100,000 troops from Guanzhong to enter Beidi County and is marching here!"

"Report! Gao Guiying, the chief general of the Dashun Army, dispatched Li Yan and Hong Niangzi, and led 50,000 troops to support!"

As Gao Xianzhi and Zhang Yichao recovered their confidence, two reinforcements dispatched by Zhang Hua arrived.

In order to ensure that everything is foolproof, Zhang Hua still tried his best to exploit the war potential in Guanzhong.

Even Gao Guiying's Dashun Army had some troops transferred by Zhang Hua to aid Gao Xianzhi and Zhang Yichao.

Zhang Hua was too steady and the backup move left behind was at this time, and he played a role.

"After 150,000 reinforcements, our number of troops exceeded 300,000..."

Gao Xianzhi and Zhang Yichao had rich expressions. They experienced great defeats, but in the end they fought more and more troops.

This is the benefit of a strong national strength. You can be defeated many times and get a steady stream of supplies, but the enemy can only fail once!

Huo Qubing's expression also changed.

What Huo Qubing needed was a king like Emperor Wu of Han, who could provide him with continuous supply of troops and food.
