After the Wei army retreated, the Han soldiers on top of the city broke out into thunderous shouts.
However, there was no excitement in Xia Houlan's heart. He only felt that his eyes were turning black, his whole body was exhausted, and he collapsed on top of the city from exhaustion.
"General" Fang Tao, the commander of the soldiers covered in blood, hurried over, "Quickly, help the general back to the barracks!"
"Fang Tao, let the two thousand soldiers in the barracks quickly board the city, treat the wounded soldiers immediately, clean the city, and transport the defense equipment up. If there are no injured soldiers on the city, go down and rest as soon as possible."
Xiahoulan knew that Wenpin had an army of 40,000. After the defeat in today's attack on the city, he would definitely attack continuously in the future. He did not dare to be careless at all.
"No!"
"General, in this battle, we lost more than 1,500 people, and about 8,000 Wei soldiers were killed!" A captain came over to report.
Xia Houlan nodded. Such battle losses are actually completely acceptable. It can even be said that this is a great victory. The cavalry of the Han army are very capable in individual combat, and the defense of the city is no exception. But his troops were too small. More than 1,500 people were killed in the battle. Including the seriously injured, there were only 3,000 capable soldiers left, while Wenpin's army still had 30,000. It is not easy for three thousand soldiers and horses to defend the city attacked by 30,000 troops, because Baima City is not a strong city that is easy to defend but difficult to attack!
Today, the Wei army will definitely not attack again. They want to clean up the corpses outside the city. Xiahoulan explained to the two captains and went back to the camp to rest.
Guandu, in Cao Cao's commander's tent.
"Cha Ci Ci Bai Di among the colorful clouds, a thousand miles of rivers and mountains return in a day. The apes on both sides of the bank can't stop crying, and the boat has passed the Ten Thousand Mountains." Cao Cao recited this poem that Liu Cong plagiarized from Li Bai, with a relaxed smile on his face, " The level of Liu Chengguang's poems is getting higher and higher as he writes them. If you can pick them up at your fingertips, they are extremely wonderful. If he doesn't strive to dominate the world, he will definitely become a great scholar!"
"Lord, even if it takes one day to return the thousand-mile river, it's already too late!" Sima Yi showed a sinister smile on his face, "General Wenpin has already begun to attack the city. Although the five thousand Han troops in Baima City are very brave, Judging from the news from the scouts, it has been damaged by nearly half, so the city will definitely be breached tomorrow!"
"Is there any movement from Wei Yan and Pang Tong?" Cao Cao asked.
"My lord, your guess is correct, they are still standing still!" Jia Xu replied.
"Does Wenhe think that Wei Yan and Pang Tong knew about Wenpin's attack on Baima?"
"The Han army's sky net is very powerful. Although we are marching at night, Wei Yan must have got the news at this time." Jia Xu thought for a while, "My lord also said before that now Wei Yan and Pang Tong are riding a tiger and it is difficult to dismount. He only has 30,000 soldiers and horses. , If we want to attack our main camp, our troops are a little small, but if we rush to the rescue of Baima, sending ten thousand soldiers and horses will not be effective. If the whole army breaks up camp and sets up camp, we are worried that we will follow and kill them."
"If Wei Yan and Pang Tong don't move, our strategy will not be realized for the time being!" Cao Cao frowned.
"Don't worry, my lord, I think that within a day or two at most, Pang Tong of Wei Yan will raise his camp!" Sima Yi said, "If Baima is occupied by us, then General Wenpin will be very serious to the Han army whether he attacks Yanjin or Guandu. It¡¯s unfavorable, so even if he can¡¯t break the siege of Baima, he still has to leave Guandu, otherwise we will cut off his retreat and the entire army will be annihilated.¡±
"Oh" Cao Cao thought deeply.
"My lord, I have discussed with Zhongda. What we are using this time is a conspiracy. Even if Pang Tong and Wei Yan see through it, there is nothing they can do about it. My lord's strategy is very right. To severely injure Han Wang Liu Cong, it is not to recapture Yanzhou, but to Wipe out all their Central Plains troops, including Zhao Yun's cavalry!" Jia Xu said.
"Okay!" Cao Cao stood up, "In this case, we must annihilate all the Han Army's Central Plains Corps at all costs this time. In the future, he will rebuild his extraordinary troops. We also began to form cavalry. Our cavalry is also equipped with bilateral stirrups. , nail iron palms on the war horses, and then compete with Liu Cong in the Central Plains!"
"My lord, Wei Yan and Pang Tong have begun to set up camp." At this moment, Xiahou Ba ran into the commander's tent.
"It's true!" Cao Cao suddenly became excited.
"Lord, it's time for us to close the net now." Jia Xu said with a smile.
"Okay, immediately send an order to Li Dian to lead an army to encircle and annihilate Zhao Yun's 5,000 cavalry near Yanjin. Tell him that the purpose is not to defeat, but to encircle and annihilate!"
"No!" Jia Xu wrote down the military order.
"Send orders to Zhang He and Cao Hong to attack Yan Xing's camp with all their strength and be sure to annihilate them all."
"No!"
"He ordered Yue Jin to lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to cross the Yellow River and block Wei Yan Pangtong in Gong County.army! "
"No!"
"Send orders to Wenpin to defeat Baima within one day, and then lead the army to Gong County to encircle and annihilate Pang Tong Wei Yan!"
"No!"
"All the soldiers and horses in Guandu are ready to set up camp and follow Wei Yan and Pang Tong's army!"
"No!"
In Cao Cao¡¯s military camp, the scouts rushed to send orders everywhere. Cao Zhang, Xu Chu, Xia Houba, Xia Houru and other generals began to reorganize their troops.
Wei Yan and Pang Tong have finished arranging their troops and horses, but their hearts are still full of worries.
"Military advisor, if we move, Cao Cao will definitely follow us. There are 40,000 Wei troops surrounding the white horse. We are very likely to be surrounded by Wei troops!" Wei Yan said.
"Chang Wen, Zilong is in Yanjin now. There are only Xiahoulan and five thousand soldiers and horses in Baima City. The whole army may be annihilated at any time. If the Wei army captures Baima, both Yanjin and Guandu will be in great danger!" Pang Tong His expression was also solemn.
During the first battle of Guandu between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, Cao Cao was in their position, with only 70,000 troops in total, but he blocked Yuan Shao's 700,000 army, and finally burned Wuchao and turned defeat into victory.
Now, they have 30,000 troops, including Baima and Yanjin, a total of 50,000. Cao Cao had a total of 120,000 troops, but he made them very passive. From this point of view, Yuan Shao is really bad.
"My lord has captured Yizhou, but we have to lose Yanzhou!" Wei Yan felt a little unwilling. If he evacuated Guandu, even if the siege of Baima was solved, Yanzhou would not be able to hold it in the end.
"Chang Wen, don't you think it's strange that my lord has stayed in Baidi City for four days?" Pang Tong suddenly asked.
"ThisI thought it was a little strange at first, but then I understood that the lord is collecting ships and wants to take the water route. He will go to Baidi in the morning and reach Jiangling in the evening. There is no delay, but he is too far away from Yanzhou!"
"No!" Pang Tong shook his head, "My lord must have a deep meaning in doing this. How can my lord not know that soldiers are valuable and quick? What's more, my lord is the best at using surprise troops and has the overall situation in mind. He will not ignore Yanzhou!"
"If this is the case, we should rush to the rescue of Baima!" Wei Yan also felt his eyes light up at this time.
"Okay, send the order for the army to set off immediately!" (Remember this site's website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
