Chapter 377 The War That Can Be Solved With Food Part Three

Baibo Valley, outside the city.

The Xiliang battle flags fluttered in the wind. Under the battle flags, more than [-] soldiers and horses lined up, coming in a menacing manner, but if you look closely, you can feel that there is a little less energy in the formation.

Under the tent of the Chinese army, the two main generals of Xiliang, Li Que and Guo Si, sat next to each other, and the military adviser Jia Xu sat in the first place on the lower side. The faces of the three were not very good.

"Damage came out?"

Li Que asked gloomyly.

"Ok!"

Jia Xu nodded: "In the past few days, our casualties have reached nearly [-] soldiers!"

Starting from Jiangyi City, for five or six consecutive days, they were literally beaten by the Yellow Turban Army by the nose, dragged all the way, and fought all the way. The front and back were less than a hundred miles away, and they fought no less than five battles, and they lost in a row. |
And not counting the wounded soldiers, the number of battle casualties alone was nearly [-] soldiers.

As long as the casualties of any army and horse exceed one-tenth, the morale is already damaged, and it is difficult to cheer up. They will not be able to exert half or sixty percent of their strength on the battlefield and need time to rest. If the number of casualties reaches one-fifth , can be regarded as a great loss of vitality, and it is impossible to continue fighting.

That is the Xiliang Army.

As the name suggests, Xiliang is a desolate place in the west. The troops who come out of here all have a wildness that is to survive at any cost. Their blood is even more violent. On the battlefield, the fear of life and death is very low.

So even with such casualties, they survived.

If the other soldiers and horses in the Central Plains were replaced, even if it was the two armies of Nanyang, if the Southern Army and the Violent Bear Army were damaged to this point, they would have no morale to continue fighting.

"hateful!"

Li Que slammed his fist on the desk, and said coldly: "In this land, we Xiliang warriors have never lost. When Mrs. Guo was at the peak of power, all the chickens and dogs killed by Niu Fu's soldiers were incomparable. Stay, now a group of remnant soldiers actually let us lose our troops, if this is passed back, I am afraid that the Lord will not be angry, General Niu Fu will not let us go!"

"We underestimated the enemy!"

Guo Si said gloomyly: "One wrong step, one wrong step, I didn't expect that the encirclement situation turned into an opportunity for them to defeat one by one!"

Although his [-] soldiers were jointly attacked by Yang Feng and Han Siam, the casualties were not very large, because the battle lasted less than an hour, and the Yellow Turban Army withdrew. He never thought that the letter he sent out asking for help would come. Be the loser in this battle.

"A certain family wants to meet this general for a while!" Guo Si's eyes flickered coldly, and he said, "We have fought against Baibo and Yellow Turban for several years, and we know the truth. Tai has died in battle, there is absolutely no general under his command who can compete with us!"

"General Guo is right!"

Jia Xu sat cross-legged quietly, sighed, and said in a low voice, "I already know who this person is?"

"who?"

When Li Que and Guo Si heard the words, their eyes widened and they asked in unison.

"Nanyang Sword King, Huang Zhong!"

Jia Xu said word by word.

The two armies are fighting, and in the chaotic battle, it is inevitable that one or two soldiers will be captured. For the information that the Xiliang army cannot get, as long as they pry open their mouths, they can always get one or two.

"It's him?"

Li Que couldn't believe it: "Isn't he in the capital?"

"It is rumored that the Nanyang Sword King is a general under Mu Xiangguo's command. How could he come to Hedong and help the Yellow Turban!" Guo Si also frowned and said in a low voice.

"He will appear here because the Holy Maiden of Peace appeared in Baibo Valley!"

Jia Xu said: "Also, don't forget that Xiangguo Mushan today is not from an orthodox court background. He is a remnant of the Yellow Turban. The Nanyang Yellow Turban Qu Commander meant that he and the Yellow Turban Army are inextricably linked. , It’s not an exaggeration to send the generals under your command here!”

"In this way, it will be troublesome!"

Li Que said worriedly: "Now the lord and Mu Xiangguo are in the stage of cooperation, if we break the relationship, will the lord be humiliated in front of Mu Xiangguo!"

In today's Xiangguo Mushan, the power is in the hands of the government and the public. No matter how strong their lord Dong Zhuo is, he can only be inferior now, so they have such worries.

"Not afraid!"

But Jia Xu shook his head: "First of all, we don't know what happened when Huang Zhong appeared here, and even if it was sent by Mu Xiangguo, we can pretend that we don't know, besides, the lord is not alone in the capital, we are more than ten General Wan Xiliang is the lord's strongest backing, and if Mu Xiangguo wants to turn his face, it depends on the opportunity!"

He paused, then said: "Besides, if we can't stabilize the east of the river, I'm afraid the lord will be angry. After all, the lord is in the capital and cannot hold great power. The matter of food and grass, and the tactics of the soldiers all depend on the land of the east of the river, so even if we If we conquer the Baibo Valley, my lord will settle the affairs of the court for us!"

"Then shall we continue to fight?" Guo Si asked tentatively.

"No!"

Jia Xu still shook his head: "Huang Hansheng is not easy to deal with. I don't know how good this man is in martial arts. I only listen to his name but don't see his strength. But we should have an impression of his ability to lead troops. Starting from Jiangyi City, He took every step of the way and almost defeated our main force. Even though we barely repelled them last night, our soldiers and horses were still displayed in front of Baibo Valley. Think about it, before they came to attack and we came to defend, it only took a few days , but completely changed, it became us attacking, they defending, unconsciously, the offensive and defensive positions have changed, we have already lost!"

As soon as his words came out, Guo Si and Li Que's expressions turned livid.

And Jia Xu continued: "This kind of control of advance and retreat on the battlefield is extraordinary. Among the Xiliang army, there are very few who can do it. This person may be even more difficult to deal with than Mrs. Guo. If we attack by force, I am afraid Will suffer!"

"That can only be surrounded like this!" Li Que was not reconciled.

"That's not true, General Li, don't forget, we have reinforcements!" Jia Xu said quietly.

"Hun army?"

Li Que's eyes suddenly brightened: "The military division means to wait until the Xiongnu army goes south to encircle Baibo Valley!"

"That's right!"

Jia Xu nodded: "Yu Fuluo will not let go of any chance to get the food from Baibo Valley. We have sent someone to deliver the food before. The Baibo Valley is empty. He must go south. If he goes south, he has no choice. At that time, he can only go with We join forces!"

"When will the Huns go south?"

"It should be soon!"

Jia Xu raised his head, his eyes sparkled: "As long as Yu Fuluo has a heart, within three days, they will definitely come!"

"Then let's wait a few days!"

Guo Bang burst out with a sharp fighting spirit: "On the day Baibogu City was broken, I would like to learn whether the Nanyang Sword King is as terrifying as the legend!"

"Report!"

At this time, a scout outside the camp jumped off his horse, bowed his head and shouted.

"Come in!" Li Que said.

"Report to the general, twenty miles north of Baibo Valley, we found the camp of the Huns cavalry!"

"So fast?"

Li Que stood up suddenly, with a happy expression on his face: "Okay, good job!"

"So fast?" Jia Xu also called out such a sentence in a low voice. He predicted that the Xiongnu army would not be able to sit still, but he did not expect that Yu Fuluo would be so swift, but it was impossible for Yu Fuluo to clean up so quickly. Sleepy white waves and yellow scarves, but he personally persuaded Fuluo to go south, and he couldn't find any doubts.

……

In the afternoon, more than twenty miles north of Baibo Valley, a cavalry camp was established on the plain by the river.

"Central Plains, what a great place!"

A majestic and burly man in Hun costume, riding a black war horse, rode the horse up the hillside, with his eyes stretching thousands of miles, converging the great rivers and mountains in his eye sockets.

"The Central Plains is good, but it's not the pasture of the Huns!" The young man also rode a docile BMW, came out from behind the big man, and said with a smile.

"Young man, it's not a good thing to provoke me here, aren't you afraid that I'll cut you off?" The big Hun squinted at the young man, and said with hostility.

"The majestic Southern Xiongnu Shanyu, this kind of tolerance is not enough!"

The young man said calmly without fear.

"It's the Xiongnu Shanyu, the Huns belong to a family, the king's court is above, there is no distinction between north and south, whether they go north or I come south, it's just a stopgap measure, they will come back sooner or later, and I will return sooner or later Let’s go, when my Hun clan is reunited, there will be no one in the world!” This Hun big man is the current Xiongnu Shanyu, in Fuluo, he exudes this wild hostility, and his wild domineering looks like It can make all the wild wolves on the grassland surrender.

"Ha ha!"

The boy just smiled, indifferently, which already explained his attitude.

The Huns back then were indeed powerful, and they could be called the number one enemy of the Qin and Han Dynasties. But when the Huns tribe split from north to south, they had already begun to decline, and when there was no hegemony in the world.

On the contrary, Xianbei, a newly rising nomadic nation, is even more terrifying. Thinking about history, thousands of years later, the struggle for hegemony in the Central Plains will inevitably be marked by the Xianbei nation. After Sinicization, Xianbei has produced countless emperors.

"Hmph!" Yu Fuluo snorted coldly, he glanced at the boy's side face, and immediately remembered the demeanor of this boy talking in front of him five days ago, at first he wanted to crush this boy to death Small, but in the end he was persuaded...

……

The time went back to five days ago.

Qingping Mountain.

This mountain is actually not high above sea level, but its geographical location is quite special. It is sandwiched between official roads and small roads, and there are continuous mountains on the left and right. open.

But this kind of terrain also has a big disadvantage. Once trapped by the enemy, there is no way to go back and forth. There is only one way out in front, and you will be trapped alive.

The way out of Shangang was surrounded by the Huns.

The Xiongnu cavalry formed three battalions, overlapping each other. Under such circumstances, even if the Yellow Turban Army came with three times their strength, they would not be able to rush out.

Although most of the Xiongnu were cavalry, under such a situation where they must win, the Xiongnu did not need to attack by force at all. As long as they besieged, they could take down the Yellow Turban Army in Qingping Mountain. Therefore, although the Yellow Turban Army was in dire straits at this time, the Xiongnu The army is very relaxed and leisurely.
