The Age of Lords Reborn

Chapter 353 (Subscribe)

When Mo Xiaobai and Ju Meng met, the hero of Luoyang was red-eyed, collecting the bodies of those rangers who he might have known, or who might have never met before, but died in Xingyang.

He caressed the cheeks of the dead Ranger with his palm, and closed their eyes with his own hands.Ju Meng walked past Mo Xiaobai silently, and went to look for the next brother.

Seeing this, Mo Xiaobai understood that Jumeng didn't want to be disturbed, so he smiled wryly and shook his head, and walked down the city wall with Zhou Yu.

Under the city wall, there is a temporary hospital building, almost all the doctors in Xingyang City are here, and everyone is very busy.

Some rangers who were not too seriously injured couldn't wait and had to do it themselves.Fortunately, most rangers are no strangers to simple trauma treatment, they took the medicine to clean the wound, and then bandaged it themselves.

"Gongjin, help me take off the armor, get some medicine and I will handle it myself."

Mo Xiaobai's previous experience of more than ten years was not in vain. He couldn't deal with too serious injuries, but it was not difficult for him to deal with a little sword trauma.

After the wounds on his body were all bandaged, Mo Xiaobai walked directly to the county government office without stopping.

Xingyang is not a big dream town, and he still needs to communicate with Xingyang Ling first about the compensation for the casualties.

Stepping into the county office, even though Xingyang Ling did not appear on the battlefield at the top of the city from beginning to end, the workload here is not small, because all the logistics are on his shoulders.

Organize people to carry ordnance, or prepare food, arrange a place for the wounded to rest, a series of trivial things, toss Xingyang Ling enough.

Hearing that Mo Xiaobai was going to issue pensions to the soldiers of this battle, Xingyang Ling was silent for a while, and then had to nod in agreement.

Whether or not Xingyang can be saved right now depends entirely on those rangers. They have put in so much effort and sacrificed a lot of companions, so what if they don't give out some rewards.

What's more, Mo Xiaobai also said that he will bear the expenses himself, and there is no need for the Xingyang order to embezzle the county government funds.

After a brief conversation between the two, the amount of pensions to be issued was determined, and the casualty statistics of the Xingyang World War I also appeared in front of Mo Xiaobai.

208 people were killed, 111 were seriously injured, and almost all of the rest were slightly injured.

.........

"This battle is unfavorable, with 2741 soldiers lost, including 3 generals."

While Mo Xiaobai was staring at the wounded list in a daze, far outside Xingyang City, Pound and several surrounding generals were also sitting together, talking about the casualties of the coalition forces.

"More than half of the soldiers and horses were lost. I am responsible for improper command. I will report the matter truthfully. But we can't retreat tonight. We must stay and complete the next task."

Next task?

Several people around looked at each other, but did not speak.

In today's battle, the tenacity of Xingyang's defenders has exceeded their expectations. They have fought to this point, so what task are they talking about?
Do you want to fight all the soldiers?

"Tonight, let's go to call the battle in batches."

Pang De caught the eyes of the generals around him, and then said: "It's not that you want to attack at night, but a strategy to exhaust the enemy, so that the Xingyang defenders can't rest for a moment. In the daytime battle, more than half of us were killed and injured. The defenders will not be able to recover, not to mention that they were originally small in strength, and now they are exhausted, if we continue to use the strategy of exhausting the enemy, the defenders of Xingyang will definitely ask for reinforcements urgently."

Force the defenders of Xingyang to ask for help!
This is Pang De's purpose in coming to Xingyang.

The other generals reluctantly nodded when they heard that it was not necessary to continue the fight.

In the fierce battle in the afternoon, everyone's subordinates suffered a lot of injuries, and if they continued to fight, they would suffer from muscle and bone pain, and they would not be able to explain to their masters when they turned around.

But since it is a strategy to exhaust the enemy, accepting military orders is not a hindrance.

After nightfall, except for the brightly lit city gate tower, the entire Xingyang City is already immersed in the interior.

Soldiers and rangers fell asleep in batches, and the people in the city who helped transport all kinds of equipment and supplies all slept soundly at home.

If there were no accidents, it would have been a peaceful and peaceful night.However, when the time gradually approached the night, a rapid sound of heavy drums suddenly spread from a position not more than a hundred feet away from the city.

As soon as the drum sounded, the garrison soldiers who had been tired for a day stood up straight in a jerk, and at the same time called for their companions.

Words of enemy attack spread across half of Xingyang County in an instant.

Mo Xiaobai didn't fall asleep at first, and immediately set off to the top of the city when he heard the report from the soldiers, but when he came up to see, there was almost no movement of soldiers attacking outside.

"what happened?"

"My lord, just now there was a loud drumming outside the city, I wait, I wait for that"

One of the night guard soldiers clasped their fists in response, but he hesitated to stop halfway through his words.Mo Xiaobai knew what he didn't say later, and waved his hand: "Go back, I don't mean to blame you."

After speaking, he looked at Ju Meng and Zhou Yu who were also rushing to the top of the city, and said with a smile: "It seems that our opponents are not reconciled. After a fierce battle in the afternoon, they failed to break through the city, and now they are actually playing tricks against us."

The strategy of exhausting the enemy.

Don't be too familiar with Mo Xiaobai.

Because he used this trick himself, and Qilin Village was tossed by him at that time.

It's just that Mo Xiaobai's strategy of exhausting the enemy at least dispatched Yuanrong crossbows to intimidate Qilin Village. Now the coalition forces outside just beat the drums twice, in his opinion, they really don't care about it.

"Gongjin, how should we deal with it?"

"My lord, it's time to send a letter to Ao Cang."

Zhou Yu looked out of the city through the moonlight, and said with a smile: "Since the coalition forces outside the city want to fight us in the field, why not give him this chance?"

"Do you use swan geese?"

"Hongyan sent one, and then picked out two rangers, and sent them out of the city to Ao Cang."

Zhou Yu opened his mouth to answer, and Mo Xiaobai quickly understood what he meant.Since the other party wanted to lure Li Guang to leave Aocang so much, let Li Guang come out.

The coalition forces can use the siege of Xingyang to intimidate Li Guang, then they can also make Li Guang retreat to attract their attention, and at the same time play another hole card.

Han Tuidang, and more than a thousand cavalry with him.

When two swan geese flew out of Xingyang City, under the dim moonlight, almost no outsiders noticed.

In less than half an hour, Li Guang and Han Tuidang received Hongyan's letters one after another.

Although it was already late at night, Li Guang immediately gave the order to prepare the whole army, and only waited for the Lord's final order to arrive before he could go to the final battlefield.

Han Tuidang on the other side didn't delay, and immediately called the cavalry out of the mountain after receiving the order.

In order to wait for the most suitable fighter, he is almost moldy these days.Now that Mo Xiaobai's letter came, he didn't want to wait another second at all.

Mo Xiaobai's troops began to mobilize gradually, and Pang De, who had been monitoring every move of Xingyang City on the other side, also got the information that someone in Xingyang was galloping away on horseback.

After getting this information, Pound finally showed a smile on his face.

As long as the defenders in Ao Cang can come out, sacrificing 2000 people is worthwhile.

Ao Cang will definitely fall into the hands of the coalition forces.
