Starting from the world of martial arts

"Bang!" After smashing several wine bowls, Niu Fu's face was full of anger.

"How dare they?"

"They are not afraid, I will kill them all?"

Niu Fu was panting heavily, his face was gloomy like a cloud, almost dripping water.

In the camp, when the others saw Niu Fu burning with anger, they didn't dare to make a sound, only the sound of their own heartbeats and Niu Fu's panting were left in silence.

After a long time, Xu Rong said slowly: "General, those people can't move. Once they move, we will be in trouble."

"What trouble?"

"Hmph! Could it be that they can still rebel?"

He glanced at Xu Rong displeased.

"General, I don't know if they will rebel, but the general kills these generals, those forbidden troops and local troops. They must all be in danger. If one is not good, there will be a camp roar."

"These days, general, you have been letting them guard the camp and endure the attacks of the Xuzhou army. Their morale is low, and their daily injuries make them not only hate the Xuzhou army, but also secretly hate us in their hearts."

"General, we had conflicts with the forbidden army, but the prime minister's power overwhelmed them and they dared not move. If we really push them to a dead end, they will definitely die."

Xu Rong quickly tried to persuade him that he had vaguely noticed Xuzhou Army's schemes.

"Xuzhou soldiers are at the outer gate every day, using long-range crossbows and catapults to attack, one is to damage our morale, and the other is to use this to trigger our internal strife."

This is a conspiracy, and it cannot be solved at all.

The crossbows of Xuzhou soldiers have a long range, which is no worse than their archers, but the power of crossbows is much greater than their bows and arrows.

In addition, there are not many archers under their command, except for a counterattack two days ago, there is no chance after that.

So he was beaten all the time.

Even he can't change it. These days, he can feel the atmosphere in the camp. There is a clear distinction between the Xiliang army, the forbidden army and the local army, and when those forbidden soldiers secretly look at the Xiliang army, they often have fierce eyes in their eyes .

This made his heart skip a beat.

Xu Rong knew that the Forbidden Army of the Shenhan court was very strong, even though the Forbidden Army suffered heavy losses because of the Yellow Turban Uprising.

But the foundation is still very strong.

Because of the sudden successive deaths of the first emperor and the great general, the Forbidden Army was leaderless. In addition, the ministers in the court were not in harmony with each other, and the Forbidden Army was also divided into fragments.

It happened that Master Xiang took action at this time and suppressed the imperial army in one fell swoop.

But the Imperial Army is still very strong.

If these forbidden troops really want to resist, it will definitely not be a good thing for the Xiliang army, especially for them now, it is really a disaster.

So he is also very anxious now.

Hearing that Niu Fu was going to take down those generals of the Forbidden Army just now, it was tantamount to adding fuel to the fire.

If one is not good, it will cause riots and screams. Xu Rong can't imagine the consequences.

"Ying Xiao?"

Hearing this, Niu Fu became a bit cautious. He knew the horror of Ying Xiao. Once Ying Xiao was suppressed, even if their Xiliang army could suppress it, the losses would definitely be huge.

If it is normal, it is fine, and now there are coalition forces of princes outside the camp.

Niu Fu had to be cautious.

"Then what do you think we should do now?"

"Don't let them guard the camp, why should we let the Xiliang army guard it?" Niu Fu asked angrily after a moment of silence.

Xuzhou soldiers send troops every day, relying on long-range attacks, the lethality caused to them may not be fatal, but this kind of continuous bleeding is still very difficult.

Daily losses of hundreds of thousands, more and more wounded soldiers, and lower and lower morale are not trivial matters.

It is impossible for him to damage the Xiliang army.

At this moment, Niu Fu was very distressed. Xu Rong's explanation made him understand that their situation is not good right now. .

There are strong enemies outside, and there are differences and even the possibility of internal strife.

"General, I am afraid that the best countermeasure for us right now is to retreat."

"Retreat?"

"That's right, retreating and relying on the city wall, our defense will be easier, and using the height of the city wall, our archers can play a little role."

"In the city, people can make catapults, and they can also fight back, and most importantly, with the city walls, those people will no longer have the opportunity to fight among themselves."

Xu Rong said seriously.

"General, the task given to us by the Prime Minister is to block those people and prevent them from going to Luoyang"

"We don't need to fight them in the wild, and we don't need to defeat them. As long as the prime minister is at Hulao Pass and drives back the main force of the coalition forces, these Xuzhou soldiers will naturally retreat on their own."

"If at that time, with the support of Mr. Xiang, General, you will have no problem chasing after him."

Of course, Xu Rong was just talking about the last sentence. After fighting these days, he already knew that the governor of Donghai County was definitely not simple. The army under his command was no weaker than their Xiliang army.

Moreover, marching and fighting are quite tricky, and it is not that simple to chase Xuzhou soldiers and horses.

But now seeing Niu Fu's anger, he had no choice but to say something nice to calm down his anger.

"Aside from this, is there no other plan?"

Niu Fu was still very upset, the previous battle was so refreshing, they fought so well that they were defeated, and now they are reduced to retreat, he is very unwilling.

"Can we try and send a troop to bypass Heyangjin and attack them from behind?"

"General, there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in Xuzhou, and we are not familiar with the land of Hanoi. It is still difficult to attack their backs."

Xu Rong shook his head. It's not that he didn't think about it, but this strategy is almost impossible, because they are suppressed, so the opponent will have more sense of space. It is simply unrealistic for them to attack from behind.

"Then withdraw!"

Looking at Xu Rong's firm eyes, Niu Fu understood that going on like this would be even more detrimental to them.

So he gritted his teeth and said unwillingly.

Hearing this, Xu Rong breathed a sigh of relief. He was deeply afraid that Niu Fu would be self-respecting and would persevere, which would be bad.

"My lord, it seems that Niu Fu's army is about to withdraw."

"So are we ready?"

"It's time to surprise them"

"Don't worry, my lord, our people have already passed, but there are only five thousand people, is it enough?"

Xi Zhicai still felt a little worried.

"Hey! This time, the 5,000 people are enough for the front and rear attack, and the 5,000 are all cavalry. With Zang Ba as the commander, there is no problem."

Su Fan was confident.

"However, if Niu Fu wants to withdraw, there will definitely be elites stationed in the camp, and they will definitely die!"

"Some time ago, didn't Zhang Yang and the others rectify their troops and horses, and wanted to come up again?"

When Xi Zhicai heard the words, he immediately reminded him, and Su Fan's eyes lit up when he heard the words.

"Haha! Zhicai reminded me in time"

The two immediately looked at each other and smiled.
