However, fortunately, although Xu Rong is strong, Zhao Yun is not bad either. The two match each other and will meet Liangcai. Often when Xu Rong had just discovered a defensive flaw, and when the soldiers were dispatched, Zhao Yun had already added up the following soldiers and horses to strengthen the defense of this position.

From this perspective, Zhao Yun still lacks experience in battles, and is slightly lacking compared with Xu Rong. However, Huangfu Chaobo was full of confidence in Zhao Yun. He believes that with Zhao Yun's ability, he only needs time, and he must be a general better than Xu Rong. After all, Xu Rong still has shortcomings in force, but Zhao Yun's force value is among the top three in the entire man.

Just this time, let Xu Ronglai be born to temper Zhao Yun, and Huangfu Chaobo believed that with Pang Tong on the sidelines, there must be no problem.

One day after the battle, although it was quite fierce, it was shocking and without danger. There were several times when the Hedong army attacked the wall of the village, and Zhao Yun easily resolved it.

However, the loss of the army was not small. There were a thousand soldiers who did not fight, and two thousand were injured. The Hedong Army didn't get any benefits either. There were as many as five thousand corpses thrown under the wall, and there were thousands of wounded soldiers who withdrew to Anyi.

It's just that such casualties were not in the eyes of Xu Rong and Jiang Pei. After discussing and arranging the war on the second day, the two ordered the army to rest. Of course, Xu Rong still arranged for soldiers and horses to be harassed by the Sizhou Army camp at night. As for how useful it could be, Xu Rong didn't care much.

For Huangfu Chaobo, in addition to the loss of soldiers and horses, there are still two better news. One is that Su Zhibu’s break-through infantry has been successfully returned. There are 6,000 soldiers and 1,000 prisoners. This made Sizhou all the generals greatly relieved.

Another good news is that in the afternoon, Yang Feng finally returned and brought good news. That is, he has found a suitable place to cross the river, a small town named Gengxiang on the south bank of the Fen River. The reason why he chose to stay here is mainly because the water pressure of Fen River here is relatively slow, and the water surface is more than the surrounding water. The other places in Shili should be as narrow as several meters. If the pontoon bridge crosses the river from here, it should be relatively best.

Moreover, the opposite of this place is also a small town-level territory called Donghuang Town. Donghuang Town is located more than 20 miles west of Fenshui to Pishi County. If you want to evacuate from the river, you must occupy Pishi and Hejin Ports. Therefore, after crossing the Fen River, it is necessary to occupy Pi's and Hejin as soon as possible so that the Sizhou navy can come to respond.

After discussing with Pang Tong and several people, Huangfu Chaobo decided to send a dragon-inlaid battalion soldier and a thousand minzhuang craftsmen to go, quietly occupy Gengxiang, and then prepare to cross the river. Only when the army arrives. Set up a pontoon to cross the river.

After the group discussed properly, Huangfu Chaobo ordered Yang Feng to prepare overnight and set off tomorrow morning. In order to arrive as soon as possible, Huangfu Chaobo also decided to send a thousand cavalry to send these two thousand people on horses to be occupied. After Gengxiang, the cavalry brought the horses to the camp. After all, the number of horses in the army is too small.

There was nothing for a night, and the fighting continued on the second day. However, at noon, Jiang Pei suddenly received news that the Sizhou Army had forcibly purchased a large amount of grain and grass around Wenxi, and at the same time, was doing its best to reinforce Wenxi's defenses, and seemed to be ready to defend itself.

Not only that, the Wenxi defenders also made preparations to build bridges on the Sushui River. A large amount of materials have been stacked by the river, and many Minzhuang people are using rafts to erect pontoon bridges from the riverside to the middle of the river.

Seeing the two pieces of information, Jiang Pei was stunned, and quickly asked Xu Rong how to act. After Xu Rong watched it, he chuckled and said, "General Pingdong is making two-handed preparations. While raising grain and grass, he is ready to attack with cold mouth."

"Then what should we do?"

"Don't worry about him, continue to attack the camp, attack the camp at all costs." Xu Rong waved his hand;

"But, does the Sizhou sergeant who raised food and grass around Wenxi ignore him?"

"How to manage, send cavalry?" Xu Rong sneered: "Our army has only more than 20,000 cavalry, while the Sizhou army has 10,000 cavalry. If I send more cavalry, the Sizhou cavalry at the camp will rush out. The camp came to harass my siege army. If there are fewer cavalry, and the cavalry arrives at Wenxi, doesn’t Qi mean that the sheep are in the mouth?"

When the generals heard it, they all nodded. The attack in the afternoon became more intense, but Zhao Yun became more and more adept in dealing with Xu Rong's attack. However, even so, the number of casualties among soldiers continued to increase throughout the day.

At night, when we counted the casualties of the soldiers, we discovered that today's casualties were almost twice as high as yesterday's. However, the casualties of the Hedong Army were even greater.

During the military discussion, someone suddenly mentioned that the Xiliang Army’s cavalry did not show signs of splitting their troops. On the contrary, they increased their attack on the base. It seems that Xu Rong is determined to break the base. .

The past words reminded Pang Tong, he quickly got up and said: "General, since Xu Rong is unwilling to divide the troops to come to Wenxi, then we are taking advantage of this. General Yang should have already occupied Gengxiang. In this case, it is just that we can use the camp The surplus horses sent some injured soldiers to Gengxiang overnight so that they can retreat more quickly without worrying that the injured soldiers will drag the army’s journey."

The biggest headache for Huangfu Chaobo is the speed of soldiers and horses when retreating. At that time, there will be a large number of wounded soldiers and civilian artisans. These people will certainly not be able to keep up with ordinary soldiers. Then, once these people are caught by Jiang Peijun and Dong Zhuo If the army catches up, in addition to being killed, it is captured.

There are more than a hundred li from Wenxi to Gengxiang next to Fenshui, and the march of the infantry takes one day and one night at the earliest. If you add the wounded soldiers, you might not be able to reach Gengxiang in two or three days. Once it was discovered that the army had retreated, Xu Rong's cavalry could catch up with the army in more than two hours. At that time, fighting with most of the cavalry in the field would be a death hunt.

Now that Xu Rong is unwilling to divide his troops to take care of Wenxi's side, he is indeed, as Pang Tong said, just taking advantage of this opportunity to slowly transfer the wounded soldiers and craftsmen to Gengxiang. When the time comes, he will move forward in a hurry. It only takes one day for the army to have enough time to rush to Gengxiang. At that time, even if Xu Rong’s 20,000 cavalry arrives, what can I do?

"Yes, Shi Yuan's strategy is feasible, Chen Jing, sent all the seven thousand wounded soldiers in the camp to Wenxi overnight, and then discussed with Su Zhi, together with the 15,000 wounded soldiers in Wenxi City in the past few days. And more than 20,000 minzhuang people have been sent away one after another, leaving only one school soldier to defend the city, and the rest of the soldiers and horses are sent to the camp. It seems that the camp needs a few more days of support."
