Late at night, more than a thousand Wei troops gathered in a mountain forest. Looking at Zhao Xiang in his robe, everyone had nothing to say.

"Hmph! I'm talking nonsense, and my deployment is absolutely sure that I'm negligent, so that the Shu army can circumvent the back camp!"

After hearing the plot of defeat, Zhao Xiang couldn't help but be furious and scolded the generals constantly. The generals survived, covered in dust and were in a mess. Zhao Xiang scolded him and couldn't help but feel angry.

"The incident happened suddenly, and what we saw may not be complete, and the responsibility is not at the moment. The most urgent task is to gather people and pass the war report back."

Zhang Chang suppressed his anger and whispered in a low voice, while secretly signaling the generals not to contradict him. Zhao Xiang had a very strong temper and was even more stubborn. Once he contradicted, the consequences would be unimaginable, and the Shu army would chase him at some point.

The generals understood and bowed their heads and said nothing. When Zhao Xiang saw it, he was even more proud and looked at Zhang Chang and said, "The Shu army may not be chasing so far. You quickly gathered the defeated army and followed me to the main station to the road to repay the crime!"

It is easy to gather defeated troops. Although the defeated soldiers are like mountains, the defeated generals cannot run far. They just need to send people to search and shout to gather troops. The Wei army, which was defeated in one battle, could not understand the reality of the Shu army. Next, they had to guard the road head-on and guard against the Shu army, but it was a bit difficult for them to do so.

After all, the Yingpan was taken away by the Shu army, and everyone had not even eaten dinner tonight. If the Shu army came to kill two hungry soldiers tomorrow morning, how could they have the strength to fight morale?

"yes……"

Zhang Chang knew it was useless, but no one knew that Zhao Xiang was irritable, stubborn, and even if he had a slight disobedience, he would be beaten. Moreover, it is indeed an urgent task to gather the defeated army at the moment. As a soldier stationed at the border, he was defeated so miserably in one battle. It must have been a military law to deal with it when he returned.

Even though Zhao Xiang is not good at all, he is successful in his martial arts skills. If he can really regain his courage, he will relieve everyone's guilt.

The soldiers and generals dispersed, and Zhao Xiang looked like ice and was in a very bad mood. He finally hoped that the Shu army could show his skills, but these wine bags defeated the camp in one battle, and the soldiers and generals were damaged. After investigation, what should he do?

If I were present at that time, with the sword in my hand, how could the Shu army attack the camp?

Unfortunately, I really feel tired and bored in the military camp every day. Only by going to Houlin to play a big knife and lying on the big rock to sleep, will I feel comfortable. But the damn Shu army attacked at this time. Is this a coincidence or will God do?

Damn it was not just the Shu army...

"Come!" Zhao Xiang thought clearly and shouted loudly.

Seeing the Lord General calling someone, a deputy general had already approached him tremblingly and said, "What are the general's instructions?"

Zhao Xiang looked at the people on both sides, and the soldiers on both sides quickly retreated far away, then lowered his voice and said, "Report to Shangfeng quickly, just say that Zhang Chang is greedy for life and fear of death, which leads to the loss of the camp. Please Shangfeng be prepared to defend against the enemy."

The deputy general did not expect that Zhao Xiang's order would be like this, and he was stunned and immediately said: "Yes, yes..."

"Slow down!" Seeing that the general was about to retreat, Zhao Xiang thought for a while and said, "Tell Shangfeng, even if I, Zhao Xiang, would still block the Shu army even if I fought my life - and, if you dare to say a little else, don't blame me for being ruthless under the knife! Go!"

"Yes..." The general pushed away timidly, and the horse turned over and left.

Zhao Xiang felt a little more at ease and pointed at the other deputy generals and said, "You guys, come back with a pair of armor, go and go back quickly!"

Suddenly, Zhao Xiang was wearing a long robe and was not wearing armor at all. He would have to block the road and fight with the Shu army in a while. How could he not have armor to protect him?

Several deputy generals also knew this truth well, but they had no other way. After hearing this, they could only take off their armor and send it to Zhao Xiang.

With the years of war, people's lives are difficult, and soldiers' lives are not easy. As troops continue to expand, armored soldiers and weapons naturally need to be produced in large quantities. However, these armored soldiers and weapons require manpower and time from the collection of raw materials to the final production, and are closely related to the strength of national strength.

Cao Wei was prosperous for a long time, and the national treasury stocked up a lot. As the war continued, the domestic turmoil was in turmoil, and the ordnance production line gradually became unsuccessful. Limited raw materials should be used for the production of major ordnances, or to ensure important fronts, etc.

The rapid development of forging technology allowed Cao Wei's weapons and armor to compete with Shu Han. Looking back, a large number of equipment was abandoned. These equipment were taken to the front line, with not sharp swords and not strong armor, which was just to kill soldiers.

But having equipment is better than not. People with swords and guns can go to the battlefield. How can they form an army without bare hands?

Therefore, old and backward equipment was mixed together and sent to the army. The good equipment was picked out by the powerful guys, and the rest was left to fate.

But the good times did not last long. After this batch of equipment was consumed, it was even more difficult. You should know that the entire Hebei of Cao Wei was abandoned. Although it is recovering now, it is already very difficult to supply local troops in Hebei, and there is no support for all parts of the Central Plains.

The rest of the country was full of wars, and the Shu army came to fight. Where could there be any manpower to build weapons?

Therefore, many soldiers currently have real weapons in their hands, and they are just wearing leather armor.

In the past, those who were of sufficient level to wear armor often did not wear armor, unless they were capable at home or had some inventory at home.

As a fierce man in Runan County, Zhao Xiang naturally had his own armor, and it was also a good armor. However, the camp was captured by the Shu army, and he could not get his armor back. In desperation, he had to let a few deputy generals look for armor.

This is a difficult situation. Why didn’t Zhao Xiang know how lucky he would be to encounter a corpse in armor and died on the side of the road when he was in chaos.

Several deputy generals also knew what Zhao Xiang meant, but they were reluctant, but they had no choice. Not to mention that Zhao Xiang turned against him just by saying a few words, even an ordinary boss would not dare to refuse to follow such a sentence.

Seeing Zhao Xiang fiddling with everyone's armor, picky and thin, and knocking, several deputy generals dared not speak out with bitter faces, thinking that it's not easy to get a pair of armor now? This is a life-saving guy, and his own wealth. I can only hope that Zhao Xiang will not pick on his own.

They are all guys fighting on the battlefield, who can go into battle in rags?

Zhao Xiang picked it for a long time, and finally formed a complete set of armor. He stretched his limbs and waved his sword. Seeing this, several deputy generals hurried forward and took their armor back. Some people were really happy and sad...

At this moment, a warning message came from outside the woods, and traces of the Shu army were found nearby! When everyone was panicked, nearly 3,000 defeated troops led by Zhang Chang also arrived in a hurry.

Zhao Xiang was overjoyed when he saw this and said, "We will definitely be punished if we are defeated. Only by fighting with the Shu army here and destroying their aura can we make the merits and be punished. You can follow me to kill you, so there is no need to worry!"

For ordinary soldiers, the responsibility for defeat is not great, but a group of generals is different. Even if Zhao Xiang did not command the battle in the camp, the entire army was defeated, and everyone still bears the responsibility for defeat.

Who doesn’t know that Zhao Xiang is a tiger general who gallops on the battlefield and kills the generals and seizes the flag? He must have a chance to win after fighting behind Zhao Xiang.

The Shu army was carrying the torch and advancing at full speed. The Wei army suddenly rushed out, which must have surprised the Shu army. At this time, there was a chance of winning by five or six points - of course this was in the eyes of the timids - Zhao Xiang was in his heart that this battle would definitely win!

When the troops mustered up their courage and were ready to fight out of the woods, a few shrill cry cut through the night sky, and then the Shu army suddenly stopped!

"It's a spy from the Wei army. There is a Wei army nearby, ready to fight!"

"Everyone follows me! The coward goes back to get the death! Kill!"

He secretly cursed that he was not lucky enough to ambush a Shu army by chance, but several scouts were killed by the Shu army's scouts, which led to the Shu army being prepared. Zhao Xiang felt so frustrated that he felt so uncomfortable. He jumped his horse and raised his sword before everyone, and shouted loudly.

"Zhao Xiang is here, the people of Shu will accept their orders!"

Zhang Chang and others behind him also charged with swords and guns, but there were more and more torches on the opposite side, and the Shu army was also very fast. Seeing Zhang Chang and others trembled in their hearts and secretly shouted that something was wrong, and they couldn't help but shout: "This is the Shu army brigade! Retreat quickly!"
