"Fuck | His grandma, we will withdraw to Liangxian County, Ruyang, and I don't believe that these miscellaneous dogs can bite grandpa's eggs!"

When Xu Huai heard someone cursing behind him, he looked at him sideways, but it was Yang Lin's personal guard camp commander Liu Zonghou.

Liu Zonghou is a man with a rough temperament. He is brave in fighting. He has a narrow and long outward scar on his left cheek and right chin. The scar is ferocious in shape, and the sword wound is deep and even injured in the face. However, Liu Zonghou has extraordinary martial arts, or his life is hard enough, and it is not fatal when he is not fatal when he is two times. There are scars left by arrow wounds on his cheekbones, perhaps he is really hard enough.

At this time, Liu Zonghou's eyes were so anxious that they were red with their eyes, pointing to the sky and cursing, obviously because of the deaths and injuries of Zuo Xiaosheng's army at the Guangchengyi battlefield in just two or three days.

Looking at the expressions of the other generals around Yang Lin, they were all sad and frightened, and were more or less shaken by such a fierce offensive by the enemy in Heluo.

Yang Lin ignored Liu Zonghou's words and looked at the enemy camp for a long time before looking at Xu Huai and asked:

"Horse Xu, can Guangcheng Post be guarded?"

Even though he had not completely left the enemy's contact, the battlefield was full of broken arrows and spears, and bloody corpses were lying among the ditch, ridges and valleys, with purple-black solidified blood everywhere. It was so shocking when Yang Lin asked this, but when he asked, the generals were surprised.

Yang Lin is the head commander of Ruzhou, and his qualifications in the army are far better than Xu Huai.

Ruzhou and Chushan were both controlled by the Privy Council and had no ruling relationship. Whether Guangchengyi was fighting or retreating was the matter of Ruzhou. Even if Yang Lin was unable to make up his mind for a moment, he should first ask about the meaning of the generals under his command.

Yang Lin bypassed the generals under his command and asked Xu Huai Guangchengyi directly if he could defend it. The fact is that he admitted that Zuo Xiaosheng's army was not capable of defending Guangchengyi alone. If he wanted to defend it, he could only ask Chushan to send elite troops to assist in the defense.

Everyone was shocked and thought about it carefully. There was indeed no need to hide or stick to the rules for the matter of face.

When the enemy troops of Heluo moved south along the Yi River and entered the northern part of Song County, threatening Ruzhou from the west, Zuo Xiaosheng's army could not easily abandon the important place of Guangchengyi, which is the gateway to Ruzhou, and let the enemy come and go freely.

Yang Lin also immediately led 6,000 troops to Guangcheng Post to form camps and set up formations to meet the enemy, thinking of breaking up the enemy's intention to advance eastward in Heluo.

However, the intention of the enemy troops in Heluo to advance from Guangcheng Post to the east was far more determined than everyone expected.

Yang Qiye was in charge of Guangcheng Post for two days and two nights, and more than 3,000 people were killed or injured. It can be said that it was extremely tragic. If Zuo Xiaosheng's army lasted for another three or five days, it might be defeated and destroyed.

However, the enemy did not have any intention of retreating, and even continued to gather troops and supplies to the pass west of Guangchengyi, forcibly driving thousands of civilians to build camps.

At this time, Zuo Xiao won the army alone, he was unable to fight against the elite enemy several times his own by relying on the simple defense line formed by shallow trenches and wooden fences.

After all, the power gap between us and us is too great.

Everyone looked at Xu Huai, wondering if Chushan would send reinforcements or if there were any strange strategies to help them defend Guangcheng Post.

Facing everyone's expectant eyes, Xu Huai sighed in his heart and said, "I'm afraid it's hard to defend."

Any trick or tricks cannot be separated from the support of hard power.

During the Battle of Ruying, Dayue finally assembled more than 90,000 troops and formed an absolute superior force, and then he killed the enemy on the south bank of the Yingshui River and won a great victory.

If Emperor Jianji had not personally led the expedition, there would have been no left and right Xuanwu Army, Zuo Xiaosheng Army, and a part of the Shenwu Army, and a total of 50,000 elite troops, and rushed to Ruying battlefield to participate in the battle in time, it would be just the military force mobilized by the Chushan Army to face the enemy with the advantage alone, the best result would be that Xu Huai led the troops in the southern affiliation to successfully withdraw to Zhaoling, Wuyang area for rest, and forced the enemy to retreat.

Although Ruying's victory wiped out tens of thousands of enemy troops, it failed to reverse the situation where the enemy was strong and we were weak.

Even in the entire middle battlefield of Jingxiang, Huairu and others, because Xindu moved south, the left and right Xuanwu army and the right Xiaosheng army followed Jianji to Jianye to strengthen the defense deployment along the river, the huge gap between the enemy and us was even weaker.

Jingxiang, Huairu Central Theater Command, and Dayue deployed three elite combat forces.

The Chushan Army, Zuo Xiaosheng Army, and Zheng Huaizhong's left and right Shenwu Army can conquer the enemy in Heluo from the Luo River north, command more than 80,000 elite troops, and if necessary, they can also expand local troops to participate in defending the city. Compared with the total number of more than 150,000 Beijing, the gap in the strength of the enemy troops from Heluo does not seem to be too great.

However, the three large armies in the middle are still the largest Shenwu Army. The Luoshui passage that constrained the enemy troops of Heluo to the north was easily blocked by Cao Shixiong's thousands of elite troops stationed in Yongning and other cities.

Xu Huai didn't expect Zheng Huaizhong, who was eager to recover after retracting from Nanyang, would attack and attack north along the Luoshui River this winter.

Now it is equivalent to only two troops from Ruzhou and Chushan, carrying the main offensives of the enemy troops from the west of Beijing and Heluo from the front.

The soldiers and horses of Ruzhou, including Zuo Xiaosheng's army and the soldiers of the state, were only 25,000. This time, Cao Shixiong led the troops to the south along the Yi River, which may reach 50,000, and the overall combat power is far higher than that of Ruzhou.

Such a huge disadvantage cannot be easily filled by Zuo Xiaosheng's generals and soldiers fighting bravely. Most of the time, they can only defend the city and dangerous places.

On the western front of Huai, although Chushan gathered 15,000 elite troops and 15,000 guards (province soldiers), the enemy troops in Xiangcheng and north of Zhaoling and the west of Beijing had already gathered 40,000 troops in Xuchang, and even continued to gather troops and supplies.

If Chushan can draw out elite troops to reinforce Ruzhou, he can only wait until the Ying Ruli army and other waters will stir up waves again after the spring next year, making it difficult for the enemy in the west of the capital to cross south.

If Xu Huai dares to draw 10,000 elite troops from the western front and arrive at Guangchengyi, and join forces with Zuo Xiaosheng's army to resist the attack of the Heluo enemy, he will no longer defend the military water defense line, or will the enemy troops in the west of Beijing have become frightened birds, and he will not dare to attack Xiangcheng this winter, so Zhaoling?

However, compared with the middle road war zone, what is more worrying is the direction of Huainan in the east.

The Chihu West Route Army did not seem to be divided, so

Xuzhou, Bozhou and other places gathered, mainly to drag down the troops of Chushan and Ruzhou, and even to attract the military forces that Jingxiang North Road could exploit to Huai Shang or Ruzhou. This is already the greatest support for the troops of Chihu West Route Army (Zhennanzong Palace) for its eastern route.

The troops under the Chihu East Route Army (Pingyan Zong Wangfu) were enough to launch a full-scale invasion of Huainan.

When the Pingyan Sect Palace occupied Yanji, it almost completely accepted the last remaining military force of the Khitan in Yanji. This part of the troops alone were nearly 100,000.

Unlike the Khitan's military power in Yunzhou, it was first weakened by the two northern expeditions of Dayue. After that, about 100,000 elite troops moved westward, followed Xiao Linshi, and finally Yun Shuo followed Xiao Tong, Li Chulin and others to surrender to Chihu's troops, with less than 40,000 people.

And these 40,000 troops also followed the destruction of Li Chulin and Xiao Tong. The other surrendered defeated soldiers and soldiers who were attracted by Xiao and Li surrendered to the Chihu people disappeared.

In addition to the more than 100,000 surrendered troops of Yanji Khitan, the Pingyan Sect Palace swept across Hebei and Jingdong, and recruited more rebels along the way. Some of the surrendered troops were even assigned to the Zhennan Sect Palace.

During Xu Huai's attack on Bianliang and the subsequent Ruying Battle, the Chihu East Route Army had relatively limited troops to participate in the battle. On the one hand, the Cai River and Ying River coast were still the main attack direction responsible for the Zhennanzong Prince's Mansion. On the other hand, in addition to guarding against the Huai Palace, the Pingyan Zong Prince's Mansion also had a large number of troops attacking the unstolen cities of Jingdong East Road (Shandong), just as a large number of elite troops were stranded in Shaanxi at that time.

Another year has passed since the Battle of Ruying. The Prince's Mansion of Pingyan Sect has basically controlled Hedong, Jingdong East Road, and Jingdong East Road. Except for a small number of garrison troops, its main forces are all transferred to Xuzhou, Suzhou and Bozhou, with a total force of up to 200,000; including a navy force with a total of up to 200,000 for two years of training and a number of up to 20,000.

Although the new capital moved to Jianye, it was mainly to prevent this moment. In addition to the Huaiwang Prefecture Army defending Shouzhou, Chuzhou and other places south of the Huaihe River, the Zuo Xuanwu Army and the Right Xiaosheng Army also entered Luzhou, Yangzhou and other places to strengthen the garrison between the Jianghuai River. On the basis of Jianye, Yangzhou and other prefecture soldiers, Xu Huai really had no confidence in what the Huainan war would look like this in winter.

Maybe it was Gao Junyang. Gu Jiqian defended the northern foot of the Qinling Mountains this winter, and his life would be better. However, their troops were also defeated step by step before, and at this time they had only spare energy to lick the shocking wounds.

After all, the bad situation where the enemy is strong and we are weak is far from reversed.

More importantly, under the tent of King Chihu, there are not only two armies in the Zhennanzong Palace, the Pingyanzong Palace, and even the Zhennanzong Palace. The Yanpingzong Palace are not the two most powerful armies in the Chihu.

According to the current limited information, Chihu not only had a large army guarding the southwestern foot of Yinshan Mountain, but also had a covetous eye for the Dangxiang people, but also a large army advanced westward into the vast desert and Gobi desert, which had swept across the Western Regions without any sign of stopping.
