There was no pursuit of Huang Zhong, which made Xia Jian and Yuan Xing breathe a sigh of relief. If the disorder continued, there would be a danger of the entire army being annihilated.\%_%Original_Creation%_%\
However, when the two men led their troops back to the camp, they both had bitter looks on their faces.
Because in the battle just now, they lost about 1,500 soldiers, and in addition, there were more soldiers injured.[
In such a short period of time, hundreds of people including Huang Zhong actually caused 1,500 casualties. This is really unbelievable.
What makes Xia Jian and Yuan Xing even more embarrassed is how they should explain to Liu Pan?
"Brother, our current strategy is that General Liu will lead an army of 50,000 to besiege Huang Zhong and help Zhou Yu delay for a while so that Zhou Yu can attack Xiangyang calmly. Before leaving, General Liu asked us to be cautious. But now we are eating
After this defeat, what should we do?" Yuan Xing said to Xia Jian with a bitter look on his face.
"I can't explain it." Xia Jian smiled bitterly and said.
However, then Xia Jian sighed again and said: "After today's battle, I completely understood it. That Huang Zhong is not an old and weak person at all, but he is so energetic."
As he spoke, Xia Jian whispered to Yuan Xing: "I suspect that even if we are stationed and do not conflict with Huang Zhong, we may not be able to stop Huang Zhong. With three thousand elite soldiers, he can run rampant in Jingchu."
avoid."
"Sigh." Although it was very shameful to admit that enemy generals could run amok in their own territory, Yuan Xing had to admit that Xia Jian was right and sighed decadently.
The two of them felt faintly in their hearts that their Jing Chu was hopeless.
Further south, an army of about 40,000 people was slowly marching towards Dangyang. This army was Liu Pan's rear army.
At the forefront of this army, Liu Pan was wearing armor and had a divine war horse at his hip. He looked very high-spirited.
With the addition of Zhou Yu, Liu Pan's task was just to hold off Huang Zhong in Dangyang. It can be said that the pressure was very small. Because Huang Zhong only sent 3,000 elite troops to Xiangyang. After a series of battles, Huang Zhong's elite troops should now be less than 3,000.
A thousand.
And his army numbered fifty thousand, and according to the art of war, it could be surrounded ten times. As long as he surrounded the city, it should be easy for Huang Zhong to trap the beasts in the city.
"General, vanguard Xia Jian and Yuan Xing have been defeated for a while." At this moment, several fast horses galloped from the front and came behind Liu Pan. The knight on the horse turned over and dismounted and reported.
"What did you say?" Things that were supposed to be safe and sound have suddenly changed. It's like making waves without wind. Liu Pan was stunned for a moment, then yelled.
"Huang Zhong led hundreds of elite soldiers out of the city to challenge. The two generals felt humiliated, so they led 5,000 elite soldiers out to fight. But the result was a huge defeat."
replied the knight.
"Idiot, idiot." The reason why Liu Pan told the two pioneers to be more cautious before was precisely because they wanted stability, but what about now?
The basket is big.
"Speed up the march."[
Immediately afterwards, Liu Pan took a deep breath and shouted.
"Promise." An orderly soldier agreed and immediately went down to deliver the order. Soon after, the speed of the army increased by three levels.
