Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 46 Crisis
The next day, Dian Wei and Zhang Jai trained the soldiers. It turned out that Dian Wei's headquarters had not lost many soldiers, and there were more than 9000 soldiers left to fight. Zhang Ja had more than 4000 cavalry left. There were not many people, Dian Wei and Zhang Jai's men killed less than 300 people in total, many of them were slightly injured, and more than 400 people were seriously injured.

As for Chunyuqiong's [-] city guards, they were dispersed last night, and many of them followed Han Lingdi to break out of the siege, but they got lost.

Fortunately, during the daytime, many people met the patrol soldiers sent by Zhang Jaw, and they all returned to the camp one after another. According to the statistics, there were more than 5000 people left in the [-] city guards, and the rest either died in battle or, He really escaped, and in the end, he must have become a prisoner of the Baibo army.

Zhang Jai made the following arrangements for the remaining city guards, called out 500 as archers, who would not participate in hand-to-hand combat, picked them out and divided them into four teams, and each team added [-] of Dianwei's men.

Originally Dian Wei was extremely reluctant, he felt that this was a joke about the lives of his soldiers, but Zhang Jaw had no choice. This group of city defense soldiers had little experience in battle. Once a person suffers setbacks on the battlefield, he will definitely lose the battle.

In the end, Zhang Jaw convinced Dian Wei that Dian Wei still understood the principle of putting the overall situation first. Moreover, the opponent was the Baibo Army, which was nothing more than a group of gangsters, so Dian Wei really didn't care.

Back then, he led tens of thousands of soldiers to train soldiers and killed countless bandits in the north and south of the country. Dian Wei believed that any of the soldiers under his command would be able to protect themselves even if they lost a battle.

After Zhang Jai made the arrangements, he let the four teams patrol the camp separately, while the cavalry under him were hidden in the snow. At critical moments, the cavalry could play an unexpected role. Dian Wei still had seven thousand battlefield veterans under his command, which was life-saving. The capital should not be wasted casually.

Moreover, if these 7000 people are needed to participate in the battle, it must be ensured that the 7000 people are in a fairly good condition, and good steel is used on the blade. It is better not to take out these [-] people until a critical moment.Ordinary battles can only be handed over to those four teams.

The Baibo army did not keep Emperor Hanling waiting for a long time. They launched several tentative attacks the next morning, but were repelled by Zhang Jai. In fact, Zhang Jai hoped that the Baibo army could attack like this a few days ago. Come to buy time and wait for reinforcements.

Secondly, it is also a kind of field training for these four teams of city defense soldiers. As long as they have experienced it a few times, these four teams of troops will definitely become a force to be reckoned with.

But what did Zhang Jaw think? How could the leader of the Baibo Army not know? After testing out the truth of the officers and soldiers, the Baibo Army's attack became fierce. Attacking the official army camp, due to terrain restrictions, the Baibo army's troops were unable to use it for a while.

This is mainly due to Zhang Jaw’s order to change the camp overnight. At the same time, Dian Wei led people to dig trenches and traps, which prevented the Baibo army from attacking. for the sake.

Every time the Baibo army attacked, Zhang Jaw had to wait until most of the enemies had entered the range before ordering to release arrows. First, it was to save arrows, and it was to better kill the enemies.Then when the Baibo army collapsed, Dian Wei would lead a team of city defense soldiers to chase and kill several hundred meters, which also invisibly trained these rookies on the battlefield.

At the end of the day, the Baibo army attacked seven times, but none of them really got close to the official camp. After losing nearly 1 people, the leader of the Baibo army ordered to return to the camp to rest and prepare to continue the attack the next day.

After Zhang Jai arranged for the deputy general to be in charge of patrolling and defending, he and Dian Wei went to meet Emperor Ling of Han.

Emperor Han Ling hid in the big tent all day and did not dare to go out, perhaps because he was frightened yesterday.Seeing Zhang Ja and Dian Wei coming in, he immediately asked, "Ai Qing, how is the battle going?"

Dian Wei replied first: "Hahaha, don't worry, Your Majesty, a few thieves are nothing to worry about, even if there is an army of [-] thieves, I have the confidence to break through them."

Zhang Jai frowned slightly after listening to Dian Wei's words, and then said to Han Lingdi: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the Baibo bandits attack without any rules, and they lack weapons and bows. Confidence for the last month, and there will definitely be news of the reinforcements from Bingzhou before noon tomorrow, and within three days, we will definitely defeat the thieves."

After hearing this, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty said with a little peace of mind: "Thank you for your hard work, Aiqing. When I return to Luoyang safely this time, I will reward you a lot."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." After finishing speaking, Dian Wei and Zhang Jai got up and left the big tent.

It was a night of peace, which made Zhang Jaw feel strange. If the white wave thieves really only have this level, then they should retreat as soon as possible. They are still here, are they waiting to die?If it weren't for Emperor Han Ling in the camp, Zhang Jai and Dian Wei would have directly attacked the opponent's camp, so why not use it for defense.

Speaking of which, Dian Wei was also sullen. He never felt so aggrieved when he fought with Gongsunxu before. Now, in order to protect the emperor, he has to pretend to be a grandson.

Just after dawn, the Baibo army started a new round of attack. Zhang Jai thought it would be the same as yesterday, but when the opponent got close to him, Zhang Jai realized that he was wrong.

Today's Baibo thieves don't know what they ate wrongly. All of them are full of fighting spirit, and they don't even coerce the people anymore. Moreover, everyone has equipment, and some even put on the armor of the army, holding military swords and spear.

Since yesterday's attack filled many trenches and traps, today's first round of attack by the white wave thieves invested 7000 people.This put Zhang Jaw under a lot of pressure.For the sake of safety, Zhang Jai had no choice but to invest in two teams at once, and the five thousand archers were divided into four groups to shoot arrows in turn.

The white wave bandits were not as disorganized as they were yesterday. The soldiers in the front row who attacked today were all holding shields. In the end, some unlucky ghosts were still shot by arrows. However, the casualties within a few hundred people had little effect on the white wave bandits.In less than a quarter of an hour, the Baibo bandits finally approached the camp after losing 700 people.Soldiers from both sides fought fiercely.

The number of white wave thieves was not dominant, and the two sides fought evenly. However, the white wave thieves immediately invested another 5000 people, which put a lot of pressure on the officers and soldiers. Half an hour later, the casualties of the officers and soldiers had reached [-], and almost everyone was injured.

Zhang Jai had no choice but to send another team, but the effect of this pair of troops was not obvious. Moreover, the Baibo bandits invested another 3000 people after seeing the increase in the army's strength. Now the army could not resist.

Zhang Jai wanted to send the last team to the battlefield, but Dian Wei stopped him, and Dian Wei said seriously: "The Baibo bandits took the wrong medicine today, and they are determined to break through our camp and prevent them from taking it." Unfortunately, they don't know who is the protagonist here." After speaking, Dian Wei led five thousand soldiers under his command to kill the camp gate.

The addition of Dianwei's new force directly reversed the occupation. The Baibo bandits were killed and retreated steadily.The leader of the Baibo thieves immediately added [-] troops to the battlefield after seeing the new force of the official army turn the tide of the battle, and the two sides came to a stalemate.

Dian Wei held a pair of halberds and was like a god of war on the battlefield. Every time he swung a move, three or four Baibo bandits would be disemboweled, or their heads would be cut off. After nearly an hour of fighting, they died in Dian Wei's hands. There were 240 if not [-] bandits on the top. Wherever Dian Wei went, the Baibo bandits avoided one after another.

The official army is also able to fight to the death because of the existence of Dianwei, a sharp knife.

Originally, the Baibo army wanted to exhaust Dian Wei to death with the advantage of numbers, but Dian Wei seemed to have inexhaustible strength. He waved his double halberds continuously for an hour, and he became a little tired. Charged back and forth, no one dared to take the lead.

Zhang Jaw has been watching the battle between the two sides on the arrow tower, and he is also secretly surprised. When fighting against Dian Wei before, he can go through [-] or [-] rounds under Dian Wei's hands, but today, it seems that Dian Wei has always let himself. If he fought Zhang Jai at Dian Wei's level on the battlefield, Zhang Jai knew that he would never be able to parry for twenty rounds.

Dian Wei was so fierce that with a single swing of his halberd, he would either cut off a few spears or blow away four or five broadswords. With this strength, no one else could compare with it on the battlefield.

However, Dian Wei is not strong after all. After two hours of fighting on the battlefield, Dian Wei also felt a little tired. Although he killed nearly 4000 enemy troops, the officers and soldiers also lost nearly [-] people. The death ratio is one to two, but the officers and soldiers cannot afford to lose.Zhang Jai originally wanted to call Dian Wei back, but at present, it seems that the Baibo thief is really determined to take down the camp with all his might.

After fighting for more than three hours in a row, the soldiers were exhausted to the limit, and even the fierce Dian Wei was not so vigorous anymore.The leader of the Baibo bandits seized this opportunity and immediately increased his troops by another five thousand, hoping to break through the official army.

Zhang Jai also immediately sent the last team of officers into the battlefield. Now that the enemy and us are fighting together, we can no longer use bows and arrows to kill the enemy. Moreover, until now, the number of bows and arrows is almost used, and the five thousand archers have also been reduced to 3000 people.The situation on the battlefield is grim, and the camp is in danger of being breached at any time.

The officers and soldiers were being beaten back step by step. Zhang Jai knew that now he had to dispatch the cavalry. He didn't want to destroy the enemy army, but only hoped to delay the enemy's attack time.

Just when Zhang Jai was about to lead the army to attack, suddenly there was a cry of exclamation from the left of the Baibo thief, and then there was a commotion in the army on the left of the Baibo thief. Get out of the camp.

Zhang Jai didn't care about the two sides in the battle, he directly led his army to the enemy's left side.The cavalry's charge cannot be stopped by the infantry. Zhang Jai quickly disrupted the left army of the Baibo bandits. Under the leadership of the general, the Baibo thieves were defeated, and 2000 people dared to charge and kill the opponent's army. If this is not a fool, it must be absolutely fierce.

Seeing that the Chinese army of Baibo thieves was about to surround him, Zhang Jai had no choice but to shout to the general: "Quickly retreat back to the camp, if you continue to fight, you will only waste the lives of the soldiers."

The other party looked back at Zhang Jaw, and saw that the middle army of the bandit army had already surrounded him, so he could only order: "Retreat."

This roar summoned the officers and soldiers who were fighting, Zhang Jai wanted to lead the way, but he didn't want the general to gallop over and ordered: "I will clear the way, you are responsible for gathering the soldiers." Hearing this, Zhang Jai felt slightly annoyed, but But he still did as he ordered.

This general is holding a big halberd, every time he swings it, he can sweep away more than a dozen bandit soldiers, his fierceness is no less than Dian Wei's.

The officers and soldiers quickly withdrew to the camp, and Zhang Jaw didn't care about the reinforcements. He immediately ordered the soldiers to rescue the wounded.After a while, a messenger said that Emperor Han Ling had summoned him, so Zhang Jai had to take this person to see Emperor Han Ling.As for Dian Wei, he had already been carried down to rest.

Without waiting for Emperor Han Ling to ask, Zhang Jai said, "The enemy army is powerful and in a critical situation. As I expected, the enemy's reinforcements should have arrived last night, and they brought a lot of armaments."

Emperor Han Ling was so frightened by Zhang Jaw's words that he couldn't speak. Zhang Rang asked calmly, "Where's our reinforcements? Our reinforcements should have arrived."

At this time, the general behind Zhang Jai said: "Lv Bu of Bingzhou, lead two thousand cavalry, come to rescue him."

It turned out that this person was Lu Bu.After hearing the first half of the sentence, the three Han Lingdi still had some hope, but after hearing the word two thousand, they suddenly lost their minds.Emperor Ling of Han said angrily: "Ding Yuan can't deceive me, why did he only send 2000 people here?"

Lu Bu was not angry, but replied calmly: "The Xiongnu army was overwhelming the country the day before yesterday, and Inspector Ding led most of his troops northward to fight against the enemy. It was only yesterday that I received the military order that I knew that His Majesty was trapped. Inspector Ding sent troops overnight. My men and I Erlang arrived at noon without stopping."

When Zhang Jai heard that this person was Lu Bu, he felt slightly familiar, and then heard Lu Bu's explanation, he found something strange, how could it be such a coincidence.At this time, the Xiongnu's army suppressed the border and attracted the troops of Bingzhou.

Zhang Jai thought for a while, suddenly, a thought flashed through Zhang Jai's mind, and Zhang Jai was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.Although Zhang Jai felt that this was impossible, he still felt that he had to talk to Han Lingdi, and he had to decide what to do.

"Your Majesty, our army has been besieged since the day before yesterday, and the Xiongnu army has suppressed the border. If my expectation is not bad, I am afraid that there will be no reinforcements in Luoyang."

This sentence really scared the people present. Even Lu Bu raised his head and looked at Zhang Jaw with a questioning expression on his face. If he said that it would be okay if he didn't come to other places, how could Luoyang not come.

Emperor Han Ling was not afraid anymore, he had been scared so many times, Emperor Han Ling calmed down instead, because the words of Zhang Jaw reminded him.Emperor Han Ling closed his eyes and said, "Go on, why is there no reinforcements in Luoyang?"

Zhang Jak knew that he had to speak out, since the matter had developed to this point, there was no need to hide it anymore.

"Since Chunyu Qiong deliberately led the army here, and then the bandit army attacked the camp the night before, and then, Chunyu Qiong tricked His Majesty to break through and was almost killed, and then the enemy reinforcements arrived last night, and then thought of the Xiongnu army suppressing the border.

Your Majesty, all of this is by no means a coincidence. I am sure that the plan is very strict. Bingzhou is delayed, and the distress letter to Luoyang will definitely not be delivered. The two nearest reinforcements have been blocked. It's too far away, and it's impossible to organize reinforcements to rescue him so quickly after the battle in Youzhou.

Whether General Hussars will receive the request for help is still a question.Your Majesty, it seems that someone carefully designed this situation behind. I am afraid that the purpose is to kill His Majesty. "

Zhang Jai's analysis is not incisive, but it is still too surprising that someone dared to kill the king.Emperor Han Ling opened his eyes at this time and said: "I know, you go down. Guard the camp and tell the soldiers that the reinforcements will arrive soon, so that the soldiers can cheer up."

"Your servant will take orders." After finishing speaking, Zhang Jai and Lu Bu withdrew from the camp. Zhang Rang wanted to say something more, but Han Lingdi stopped him.

Now Emperor Hanling is guessing wildly in his heart. Unexpectedly, there are people who dare to make up his own mind. If he dies like this, the eldest son Liu Bian will definitely not survive. The second son in the capital is still young, and he will definitely become a puppet. .What a chain meter.Zhang Rang also vaguely guessed something, but Zhang Rang dared not say it clearly.

After leaving the tent, Lu Bu stopped Zhang Jai and said, "Give me [-] cavalry under your command. The cavalry is not for defense. You are just wasting your troops." Zhang Jai was offended by the opponent's arrogance. Said that his military rank is also higher than that of Lu Bu, but Lu Bu dared to directly ask him for soldiers.

Zhang Jaw was about to get angry, but when the name Lu Bu flashed through his mind again, he remembered who Lu Bu was.

When he was fighting with Gongsun Xu, Gongsun Xu mentioned that there was a flying general in Bingzhou, Lu Bu, who can be called the number one fierce general today. At that time, many people were dissatisfied, but Zhao Yun agreed with Gongsun Xu's statement and emphasized that Lu Bu's bravery, absolutely on it.The only one who can make Gongsun Xu and Zhao Yun say this is Lu Bu.

Remembering who Lu Bu was, he opened his jaw and thought for a while and said, "I still have about 500 cavalry under my command, all of whom are veterans of the battlefield. I will give you 2000, plus [-] from your headquarters. , can definitely play an unexpected role.”

Lu Bu thought that Zhang Jai would lose his temper, but he didn't want Zhang Jaw to make this decision. He immediately smiled and said, "You also know about cavalry, but how dare you trust me so much."

"I believe in my lord. My lord once said that you are the number one general in the world. You will definitely not let my lord down."

"Oh? Who is your master?"

"General Hussars, Gongsun Xu."

"It's him, huh, huh, interesting, interesting. The doll back then, now the Hussar General, hahahaha."

Zhang Jaw was not annoyed, he walked away to dispatch troops by himself, the most important thing right now was to defend the camp and wait for the reinforcements to arrive.Moreover, Lu Bu does have the capital of arrogance.
