Liu Yu then breathed a sigh of relief, which means that the entire Youzhou defense line is still there, which is good. As long as he can resist the Tengjia Army for another two months, winter will come in Northern Xinjiang, and there will be heavy snow in the entire Youzhou.

Fei Fei, faced with such weather, the Tengjia Army had to retreat!

After this battle, the strength of both sides was exhausted. In the next few days, neither Liu Yu nor Wang Yong had any idea of ​​continuing to fight! Both sides are waiting for their own reinforcements!

While Liu Yu was waiting for Huangfu Song, Wang Yong finally waited for his reinforcements. Li Gang came with an army of 30,000 to support Wang Yong!

But when Li Gang saw Wang Yong, he said: "I brought Commander Qu's order!"

Wang Yong immediately expressed his sincere intention to listen.

Li Gang continued: "Shuai Qu said, I will be your last reinforcements. If you capture Yuyang, I will lead troops to help you defend Yuyang City. If you fail to capture Yuyang, our camp will be yours."

Attack the stronghold of Yuyang City, and I will be here with you to guard against the Han army's counterattack. Commander Qu will not send any more reinforcements to you before the autumn harvest is completed!"

Wang Yong was surprised and said: "If we attack after the autumn harvest, will we still have time to attack Yuyang City? I was delayed under Yuyang City for half a month and failed, and now Huangfu Song is about to enter Yuyang!"

The autumn harvest in Mayi is in October, and the winter in northern Xinjiang is usually in November. If we really want to lead the army to attack Youzhou after the autumn harvest, we won't be able to fight for a few days. The snow may even arrive early this year.

While Army A was actually marching, heavy snow began to fall in Youzhou.

Li Gang said angrily: "If you don't finish the autumn harvest, do you want our Tengjia army to starve to death? It's not like you don't understand what's going on with the big men now. We can't buy food even if we have money. Even if the production of this batch of food in Bingzhou is reduced,

Even if we capture Youzhou, many people will starve to death.

If you don't fight against Youzhou now, it will be the same next year. If Liu Yu hadn't gone crazy, we wouldn't have not prepared all the food and grass. We are still fighting in this autumn harvest season. Don't you know that Dong Zhuo is now commanding warlords from all over the Han Dynasty to besiege us?

Tengjia Army, now we have to deal with not only Liu Yu and Huangfu Song, but the entire Han Dynasty!"

Then Li Gang told Wang Yong about the current situation surrounded by the Tengjia Army!

Wang Yong couldn't believe it. In less than a month, the situation of the Tengjia Army had become as dangerous as it is now. It seemed like the whole world was the enemy!

However, Li Gang comforted him: "Don't worry, Bingzhou's terrain is dangerous. Our Qushuai had already occupied all the favorable terrain in Bingzhou. Don't look at Dong Zhuo's large number of people, but it's just a habitual problem. It's just too many tribesmen."

They all went to resist the enemy, so that we were short of manpower for the autumn harvest, so Commander Qu planned to defend against the Han army's attack now, and then launch a full-scale counterattack after the autumn harvest was over!

"The armies in other directions of the Han Dynasty are just to contain us. What is really difficult for us to deal with is the Youzhou Army and Jizhou County. We only have half a year at most. If we can't conquer Youzhou before the spring plowing next year, our Tengjia Army will be the only one.

Really dangerous times!"

Wang Yong was also worried: "Youzhou Army originally had 80,000 troops, and now Huangfu Song has come to support 50,000 troops. If Jizhou County comes to support again, we will face 200,000 to 300,000 troops. This is not good!

"

Wan Gang said with a smile: "Our Tengjia Army is still afraid of having too many enemies. The strength of numbers has always been our advantage. If it weren't for the lack of food and grass, Qu Shuai could pull out an army of millions! After the autumn harvest is completed, Qu Shuai will at least

Bringing more than 200,000 troops, our Tengjia Army will be able to conquer Youzhou with thunderous momentum. We have such an absolute advantage that neither Liu Yu nor Huangfu Song can stop our progress!"

"So what we have to do now is to guard this month, preserve our current results, and then wait until Commander Qu's reinforcements arrive!"

Wang Yong listened to Li Gang's words and said: "Understood, I will build this camp like a fortress and make it a nail, firmly anchored under Yuyang City!"

When Wang Yong received Li Gang, Liu Yu also brought high-ranking officials and generals from Youzhou to receive the newly appointed Zhenbei General Huangfu Song!

When Liu Yu saw Huangfu Song, he happily grabbed his big hand and said, "Brother Yizhen, you are finally here. Now I can have a peaceful sleep!"

Huangfu Song also smiled and said: "Brother Bo'an, you have done well. You can actually lead the Youzhou Army to resist the attack of 100,000 armored troops! I am really impressed!"

Liu Yu shook his head and said: "Yi really thinks highly of me. It is the generals of Youzhou who are very capable and can withstand the Tengjia Army's attack. To be honest, it is us, the Zhou Mu, who has delayed their future!"

"

Then Liu Yu took Huangfu Song to meet the generals in Youzhou. When he came to Zhang He, Liu Yu smiled and said: "Yizhen, you really don't have any weak soldiers in your hands. If Junyi hadn't come to support you this time, I'm afraid that even Yuyang City would have been destroyed." The Tengjia Army has broken through!"

But Zhang He said awkwardly: "My subordinates attacked the Tengjia Army recklessly and almost ended up being wiped out. However, they only escaped the disaster thanks to Brother Yuxing's rescue!"

Huangfu Song asked: "Did you fight against the Tengjia Army?"

Zhang He nodded and said: "We attacked the Tengjia Army, an iron armored army with less than ten thousand people. At that time, they had cavalry and had the advantage of maneuvering. However, the Tengjia Army created a strange formation, which made it impossible for their subordinates to perform their best. Cavalry advantage!”

After finishing speaking, Zhang He drew a diamond-shaped pattern on the ground and said: "My subordinates originally wanted to lead the cavalry to find the flanks of the Tengjia Army to attack, but in this formation, they could not find the flanks of the Tengjia Army at all, so they could only lead the cavalry to attack." The cavalry attacked forcefully, but the Tengjia army wore iron armor and had better equipment than their subordinates. The soldiers were also more elite than their subordinates' cavalry. After a battle, their subordinates were defeated! About 1,500 people were killed in the battle, while Tengjia soldiers were more elite than their subordinates. The military casualties may only be a few hundred!"

Huangfu Song comforted: "The Tengjia Army has the advantages of equipment and soldiers, and it can also use formations to offset the mobility advantage of your cavalry. It can be said that you are at a complete disadvantage when fighting against the Tengjia Army. The current exchange ratio is already good. In Among our Jizhou County, only the Shield Sword Battalion can achieve a one-to-one exchange ratio with the Tengjia Army!"

Then Huangfu Song began to think carefully about the formation drawn by Zhang He. He found that this kind of army was tailor-made for infantry to deal with cavalry. The sloping battle line, giant shields and spears perfectly protected the flanks of the army. Spearmen and giants The shield soldiers formed a solid line of defense, while the crossbowmen inside were powerful in killing enemies who dared to attack this military formation. It can be said that it was a military formation that integrated offense and defense, and was especially effective against cavalry charges.

Of course, this military formation is not without its shortcomings, because most of the soldiers are carrying huge shields and spears, and only a few crossbowmen are used as offensive forces. They are weak in lethality. Carrying huge shields and spears makes the mobility of the soldiers even worse. Now, special transport vehicles are needed to help transport equipment, and the requirements for soldiers in military formations are also very high. They do not retreat in the face of huge cavalry collisions. Such people can be called warriors, but now we have to recruit several soldiers. For warriors like Qian, or at least finding ways to train soldiers into warriors who are not afraid of cavalry attacks, this is not easy!
