Although tens of thousands of casualties are nothing to worry about, but the current situation of the war is unfavorable, there is nowhere to replenish the source of troops, and every death means one less, so we have to think carefully.

"Report! Honorable deputy commander-in-chief, the commander-in-chief ordered his subordinates to come and ask, when will he be able to win and return to the camp?"

The messenger who came suddenly made the thinking Slav slightly frowned, and said in silence for a moment: "Okay, I see, go tell the commander, and say you will be back in three hours."

"Yes." The orderly received an accurate answer, turned around respectfully and left.

The messenger left, and the Slavs had no choice but to order a strong attack, because Rahul sent someone to urge him to break through the Han camp.

Since it was necessary to attack by force, the Slavs did not procrastinate, and directly pressed the army, preparing to take down the Han camp in one go, trying to make up for the casualties with momentum.

Facing the all-out advance of Guishuang's army, the camp gate became precarious, and the coach Xia Houyuan also came to the scene to command.

Xia Houyuan led the army to chase all the way, and he had exhausted all his strength, so he built a comprehensive defense of the camp, the purpose of which was to wait for the backup troops.

For the current situation, Xia Houyuan had expected it, but what he didn't expect was that Guishuang's army would be so crazy.

If the physical strength has not been recovered, the combat power is naturally not much, and the casualties are naturally high. If you stick to it, you will only sacrifice the lives of soldiers in vain.

After more than two hours of the deadly battle, Dazhai was completely broken, Xia Houyuan finally ordered to retreat and temporarily avoid the edge.

Xia Houyuan led his army to retreat in an orderly manner, and the Slavs did not dare to pursue, because during the battle just now, Cao Jun showed that his contempt had been defeated.

In just two hours, tens of thousands of people were killed or injured, and most of them were killed or seriously injured, because these Han people fought like madmen.

Slav and Xia Houyuan also fought against each other. The two fought fiercely for about [-] rounds, and the outcome was hard to tell.

Slav put away the complicated emotions in his heart, led the army to clean up the battlefield, returned to the camp, and immediately reported to Rahul about today's battle situation, and put forward his personal opinions.

After hearing this, Rahul thought for a long time, and asked in disbelief, "You mean, these Han troops are more elite than before?"

"Well, it's absolutely true." Slav said seriously: "Commander, don't be careless anymore, otherwise I'm afraid I will have to withdraw from the Han Kingdom."

"No way, the situation has not reached that point yet." Seeing what Slav said was so serious, Rahul's face changed. Although he didn't believe the words, he already believed in the tone.

Slav is a smart person and knows Rahul better, so he struck while the iron was hot and persuaded him: "Yes, commander, at this time, we should join Black Jack at the right time, and then seize the western part of the Great Han Kingdom at lightning speed."

The two had the same ideas, and Rahul said, "This commander has arranged for people to recall Lu Dafu and Wei Daxun's troops. It should take less than a month to join Black Jack."

"No, we must not wait that long." Hearing that it will take more than a month, Slav said excitedly: "In the battle just now, the Han people obviously wanted to hold on, and there must be a steady stream of troops behind them."

"If the strength of our army is equal to that of our army at that time, our army will lose its advantage, and the Han people still have backup, but our army does not. The situation will only get worse and worse."

"Well." Rahul nodded slowly and said: "In your opinion, our army will start now, but Lu Dafu and Wei Daxun's troops will be the only army to go deep. If they are surrounded, they will definitely be wiped out." .”

Slav replied: "Commander, the loss of Lu Dafu and Wei Daxun in exchange for the foothold of the Han Kingdom, which one do you think is better?"

The authorities were confused by the bystanders, and Rahul suddenly woke up when he heard this.

What Slav said is right, as long as the western part of the Han Kingdom is occupied, there will be a source of soldiers and generals at that time. As for Lu Dafu and Wei Daxun, they can be notified in advance so that they have a psychological preparation, and they should be able to fight out.

After thinking about it, Rahul agreed with Slav's suggestion and decided to evacuate at night and join Black Jack.

Xia Houyuan didn't know that Rahul was about to retreat, because he devoted all his attention to defense.

It wasn't until a few days later that Xia Houyuan saw that Guishuang's army hadn't moved and sent out scouts to investigate. Only then did he learn the news and hurried to check it out himself.

Based on the evacuation traces of Guishuang's army, Xia Houyuan guessed that they were going to Longxi, so he hurriedly sent people to Xuchang to get instructions to see if they could support Longxi.

In fact, Xia Houyuan didn't know that Longxi had already fallen, and the Guishuang army was stationing troops to force Wudu.

The geographical location of Wudu is also very important, because behind him are Hanzhong and Shujun. If they fall, Guishuang's army will drive straight in.

Wudu went down to Biancheng, and after Jia Xu and others withdrew their troops, they stationed their soldiers and horses here, and built several lines of defense to resist at every step.

However, Guishuang's army stormed all the way, and it only took a few days to clear the periphery and besiege the commander of Xiabian City.

The fall of Yicheng can be said to be a confrontation between Black Jack and Jia Xu. Although it was obvious that Black Jack won and took the city, it was actually a tie.

You know, Jia Xu killed half of Black Jack's soldiers with very little loss. Although the city was finally broken, it was too few troops to hold on, so he had to abandon the city to break through.

Chapter 734 Cooperation

Although the city was broken in the end, it was because the troops were too small to hold on, so they had to abandon the city to break through.

Xiabian City has been besieged for several days, and the Guishuang army did not make any offensive moves after a wave of fierce probing attacks. This made Jia Xu very worried, because he knew that the enemy commander was a difficult opponent.

Fortunately, there is a piece of good news, that is, Gao Shun's trapped camp will soon come to help, which means that there is an opportunity to fight back.

He had planned several sneak attacks before, but they were all resolved by Black Jack. This time, Jia Xu decided to plan carefully and severely damage Guishuang's army in one fell swoop to break this disadvantage.

After thinking for a long time, Jia Xu already had a plan in mind, so he notified Zhang Lu and others to come to discuss and finalize the plan.

After retreating all the way, Zhang Lu and other Hanzhong troops have been reduced by nearly half, and most of them have the idea of ​​​​returning to Hanzhong to stick to it, so morale is not high, and a big victory is urgently needed to inspire people.

In the yamen hall of the Xiabian Mansion, Zhang Lu and Jia Xu are the superiors, one on the left and one on the right, and the subordinates and others live on one side, waiting for Jia Xu to start.

This is the time for unity. In order to show respect, Jia Xu whispered a few polite words to Zhang Lu, then moistened his throat, and prepared to talk about the plan.

"Everyone, Tongguan has defeated Guishuang's army. Xu guessed that it will not be long before Guishuang's army will gather, so the enemy outside the city must be severely damaged right now, otherwise even if they return to Hanzhong, they will face the danger of breaking the city."

Hearing Jia Xu's words, Zhang Lu's subordinates and others began to whisper, and Jia Xu couldn't continue talking because of the quarrel.

"Cough cough cough, that's enough. Master Jia hasn't finished speaking yet. How can you make such a noise?" As the leader of the Hanzhong Army, Zhang Lu didn't want them to be ashamed, so he yelled at them in displeasure.

Hearing Zhang Luzhi's words, the others who were whispering quickly shut their mouths.

Seeing that his subordinates and others stopped restless, Zhang Lu was slightly satisfied, turned to Jia Xu with a smile and said, "Master Jia, please continue."

"Yeah." Jia Xu bowed back with a smile on his face, and continued: "With the current situation of our army, it is impossible to severely damage the army outside the city."

"However, it's less than a day's journey away from the high-shun rate camp, so as long as we cooperate properly, it shouldn't be difficult to hit hard."

Jia Xu just started talking, and Yang Song, who wanted to be the first under Zhang Lu, stood up and retorted: "Master Jia, the commander of the enemy country who commands the army outside the city is not a simple person. With the current morale and strength of our army, if you want to If you want to cooperate with the pincer attack to win, I am afraid that the chances will be lost in seconds."

"The meaning of Song is to preserve our strength and rely on the prosperity of Hanzhong to overthrow them. The weather should get colder in another month. Why must we fight the enemy head-on?"

This superficial reasoning, how could Jia Xu not have thought that when he went to Hanzhong, the people would have to be relocated first, and if necessary, the people would be sent to Jingzhou and Yizhou. From Zhang Lu's perspective, there must be a lot of trouble in taking action.

Jia Xu didn't expect to work hard and mobilize all the people, but the Guishuang army occupied Hanzhong before it could be done. With the richness of Hanzhong, it was supplemented by human food.

Jia Xu waved his hand and said, "Hanzhong has a population of more than 20. Are there many dangerous places to defend? When the battle is unfavorable, where should these people go?"

After a pause, Jia Xu turned to look at Zhang Lu, and asked with a smile: "Prefect Zhang should be unwilling to send the people to Yijing and Jingzhou, right?"

Hanzhong is Zhang Lu's hard work for many years, and he is not willing to hand over the results to two enemies.

Zhang Lu thought for a moment, glanced slightly at Yang Song, and said slowly: "Hugh is unreasonable, step back, Mr. Jia is right."
