Being plotted

"What?" Li Wanqing was startled, "Where did the bandits get so many troops? As far as their subordinates know, Wu Yangui's command had only more than 50,000 people, and he used so many troops to capture our retreat. What should Suide, Qingjian, Ganquan and Ansai guard?"

Tie Mo sighed helplessly, "Wanqing, you are right. Wu Yangui cannot have tens of thousands of more soldiers out of thin air. So, if I was wrong, except for Yan'an Prefecture, now, except for Yan'an Prefecture, there are probably only a small number of bandits garrisons in Ganquan, Ansai and other places. There are experts among the bandits, and several empty cities have been set up for us."

"Mom..." Li Wanqing became more and more unwilling to accept the victory after thinking about it. He gave up on the victory in his mouth.

Half an hour later, Zhang Bei's troops retreated eastward in turn under the orders of various generals and schools, and even Zhou Dingshan, who was holding Yuan Ma, refused to let go, retreated.

Seeing Zhang Bei's troops leaving, Yuan Ma fleeing back to Mizhi City, sat by the wall and shouting that he was a big shot. He really deserved to be the Living King of Hell. If he hadn't been smart, he would have been hacked to death by the Living King of Hell.

......

Sanchuan River!

At this time, the sound of killing was already shook the sky, and there were black figures on the thick ice surface. Cao Bianjiao let the crossbowmen live on the shore and block the river surface. Although it caused huge damage to the bandits crossing the river, the number of bandits was too large. The Sanchuan River was very long and there were many places suitable for crossing the river. When the bandits changed places to cross the river, Cao Bianjiao's hands were not enough.

Cao Bianjiao racked his brains, thinking about how to delay time, but the bandits on the other side were not feeling well.

A burly man was secretly worried that this person was Li Yangchun, the fourth king of Wu Yangui. For this plan, he had been planning for a long time. He had been luring the enemy and suspected the soldiers before, and he was very successful. He was about to succeed, but there was a problem in the last link.

As long as you cross the Sanchuan River and block the east of Wubao, the officers and soldiers of the three towns will lose their skin even if they don’t die. Li Yangchun dreamed that he wanted to severely damage the soldiers of the three towns.

The imperial court sent troops to Shaanxi this time, and it seemed that there were many soldiers and generals, but in fact, the real threat was the troops of Xuanfu, Datongfu and Liaodong. As for the border troops such as Suide, Ningxia, Guyuan, etc., due to the lack of food and salary throughout the year, the morale of the army was unstable, and the combat effectiveness was greatly reduced. As long as the troops of Xuanfu three towns were severely damaged, other officers and soldiers were not worth worrying about.

He came to Sanchuan River with confidence, but after halfway through the river, he was suddenly attacked by officers and soldiers. Li Yangchun couldn't understand why the officers and soldiers were ambushed in the Sanchuan River. Since the smuggling could not be done, then force the crossing. The Sanchuan River is so long that officers and soldiers can still sprinkle beans into soldiers and set up defenses everywhere?

Li Yangchun dispersed his troops and crossed the river from more than a dozen positions. Soon, several soldiers crossed the Sanchuan River. After the bandits gathered, they did not hurry forward, but rushed towards Cao Bianjiao's troops.

The bandits flocked in and had to guard against the frontal bandits crossing the river. Cao Bianjiao's pressure suddenly doubled.

If you really set up a formation and attack with real swords and guns, even if you are five times more bandits than you, Cao Bianjiao may not be afraid. But now, in order to prevent the bandits from crossing the river, the troops are too dispersed.

He continued to stay by the river to block the attack, and sooner or later he was packed with dumplings. Cao Bianjiao made a quick decision and ordered his troops to give up the river bank and gather on the high slope not far from the Sanchuan River, intending to guard the only intersection. However, Li Yangchun was not a good person. What Cao Bianjiao could think of, and Li Yangchun also thought of it. Before Cao Bianjiao had time to set up a formation on the high slope, a gust of wind, Wang Yan's troops came from the side.

Wang Yan's nickname was a gust of wind, which was not a waste of time. His marching speed was quite good. He inserted his slant into the thorn, and this disturbance made Cao Bianjiao feel irritated. After Li Yangchun's main force crossed the river, he pressed over directly, and he was in a stance to swallow Cao Bianjiao's troops in one bite. Now there are only half of the remaining soldiers left under Cao Bianjiao's command. How can he resist it?

Fortunately, Lou Daji led reinforcements to arrive and joined forces with Cao Bianjiao's troops, so he barely blocked Li Yangchun back.

When the battle reached You hour, the sunset fell, and the Sanchuan River had turned into a sea of ​​blood, with corpses everywhere. In this battle, neither side gained any benefits, but relatively speaking, the losses of the troops in the three towns were even heavier.

What the soldiers in the three towns care about most is their strength, while what the bandits care about the least is their strength.

The elite border troops could not fight tough battles in less than half a year from recruiting soldiers to training. However, the bandits were different. If they lost 10,000, they could pull 20,000 people by turning around.

After knowing that he missed the opportunity, Li Yangchun also began to stop. The officers and soldiers did not dare to pursue him and began to retreat to Wubao to lick the wounds.

Afterwards, after statistics, the soldiers and horses of the three towns lost more than 3,000 people in a day, especially the soldiers and horses of the Liaodong Town, suffered the most losses because they were the main force blocking the Sanchuan River. In contrast, Zhangbei soldiers and horses who were responsible for attacking Mizhi and fighting against Yuan Ma became the least losses.

In the room, the three main generals Cao Wenzhao, Lou Daji and Tie Mo were extremely difficult to see. In fact, from the beginning, they did not take the bandits seriously, and felt that it would be easy to defeat the bandits with the combat power of the border troops in the three towns.

If it weren't for this kind of thought, he wouldn't have had the plan to severely damage the bandits in Mizhi's territory. The idea was very good, but reality slapped the three of them hard.

If Ruan Sangou hadn't been the same this time, the three towns would have lost 3,000 troops. Once the bandits were allowed to go around the east of Wubao and block the way home, in order to protect Tie Mo's soldiers and to break through, the three towns would have to peel off even if they did not die, and they would definitely lose their combat effectiveness completely.

The more Cao Wenzhao thought about it, the more scared he became, and gradually became a little bit self-blame. This battle plan was his intention of Cao Wenzhao, and Tiemo and Lou Daji cooperated.

When Tie Mo saw the expression on Cao Wenzhao's face, he whispered: "Victory and defeat are common among military strategists, and General Cao doesn't have to blame himself. This time we underestimated the enemy, but judging by the careful plan of the bandits, we are not wronged."

Lou Daji nodded with a wry smile, as if he agreed with Tie Mo's opinion. Is he defeated wrongly? It's really not wrong at all.

The bandits set up several empty cities and forced the Sanchuan River to cross the Sanchuan River. They must have made plans long ago. If the war begins in Mizhi City and gather troops, not to mention the time is too late, concealment is a big problem. Want to gather troops under the eyes of officers and soldiers, and dream?

In other words, the bandits were ready before the officers and soldiers came to Wubao. In other words, from the very beginning, some of the bandits expected that the officers and soldiers would definitely attack Mizhi City first.

It can be said that every move of the soldiers in the three towns is under the calculations of others, and the only variable is Ruan Sangou. In some ways, I have to thank Nunu. Nunu is really a lucky star. If she hadn't made such a fuss, Ruan Sangou wouldn't have had anything to do with him.

Cao Wenzhao turned the teacup in front of him, and his grief on his eyebrows lasted for a long time. "There are capable people among the bandits, but I don't know who this person is!"

"Yes, it's a pity that you can follow such a capable person!" Lou Daji sighed, "What should we do next?"
