Chapter 711 Arrangement

Huangfu Chaobo also knew that a good cook cannot cook without rice. In the current situation, the room for operation is really...

"What about the arrangements for Dongyuan City?"

"We cannot retreat. Yuan Zhi's arrangement is correct. At least Dongyuan can cut off the connection between Hedong and Henei."

After the plan was made, the two of them did not need to arrange the following things. After Huangfu Chaobo arranged the things, he did not sit in the tent and wait for the news of Su Zhi's troops. Instead, he inspected the situation of the entire camp under the protection of Dian Wei. It can be seen that not only the generals, but also the lower-level soldiers have found abnormalities. A sense of uneasiness has begun to spread among the soldiers.

After a round of inspection, Huangfu Chaobo has discovered this problem. He returned to the main tent and immediately ordered the leading generals of the thousand-man army in the army, that is, the captain and Sima level and above, to gather for discussion. Half an hour later, the generals of the 50,000 soldiers and horses who stayed in the camp all rushed into the tent.

Looking at the generals in the tent, especially the fifty or sixty lieutenants and Sima, these are the most core generals in the army. If their emotions are unstable, the low-level generals and ordinary soldiers will be even more panicked.

Seeing Huangfu Chaobo enter the tent, everyone bowed and saluted, saying: "Subordinates greet the lord!"

Walked to the main seat and sat down, glanced in the tent and said: "Generals, please stand up!"

"Thank you, lord!" After everyone agreed, they stood up and walked to their seats and sat down.

After everyone sat down, Huangfu Chaobo said: "When I was inspecting the camp just now, I found that not only our ordinary soldiers, but also many of our generals were a little panicked, so I decided to gather you together. Now that things are basically clear, I think it is necessary to let you know the situation of our army."

Speaking, Huangfu Chaobo explained all the changes in the past day to the generals in the tent one by one. In particular, Su Zhi's performance in the face of Dong Zhuo's 20,000 iron cavalry, especially the words of the sergeant, were all told in detail to the generals.

Yan Laowu was very lucky. Although he was in the first row of shield walls, he was not directly hit by the cavalry. He was only hit by the cavalry's weapon and hit on the shield. He was slightly injured. Then in the second round of attack, he was replaced by a strong spearman. So after the war, he was quickly called by Su Zhi to encourage him. Later, he was encouraged by Zhao Yun who got the situation.

Later, when a personal soldier of Hu Yandu was ordered to return to the camp to report the battle situation to Huangfu Chaobo, he told Huangfu Chaobo and Pang Tong about this matter in detail, which made Huangfu Chaobo even more moved.

Now, Huangfu Chaobo told these to the generals in the account again, hoping to use this matter to inspire morale.

As expected, Yan Laowu's words were very vulgar, but the words were rough but not rough. He spoke out the inner thoughts of the low-level soldiers. There are many soldiers like him in the Sizhou army, so his words have such a good effect.

After hearing these words, the morale of the generals, which had been low because of the blocked retreat, suddenly rose, and everyone in the field cried out.

After they calmed down a little, Huangfu Chaobo said: "Everyone, now we know the situation of the army. Now, we can only fight hard and risk our lives to have a chance to break through, so please make it clear to the soldiers in the army that there is no room for slackness at this time, otherwise, we will die without a burial place!"

"Risk your life!"

"Kill all the Xiliang thieves and return to Luoyang!"

"Kill, kill, kill!!!"

For a while, some roars came from the tent. Later, these sounds spread outside the tent, causing the response of the soldiers of the personal guard camp outside the tent, and then, slowly, this shouting spread throughout the camp, whether it was the soldiers who were preparing to rest or the soldiers who took turns to reinforce the camp, they all joined in the shouting.

The thunderous roar seemed to lift the night sky.

Looking at the situation in front of him and listening to the uniform shouts in the outer camp, Huangfu Chaobo knew that

the morale of his soldiers was no longer a problem, and the next step was really to fight to the death!

In Anyi City, a few miles away, on the tower, Jiang Pei was discussing tomorrow's battle with Xu Rong and other officers. Suddenly, Xu Rong seemed to have a feeling and looked at the camp of the Sizhou army. Not long after, the scout came to report that there was a thunderous roar in the Sizhou army camp, and they could vaguely hear it a few miles away.

Hearing this, Xu Rong was obviously stunned, and then said to everyone: "Everyone, get ready, the next few days will be the most difficult time of the war."

At this time, in the camp of Su Zhi, Dian Wei led 500 Yuanrong crossbowmen with four horses each, and brought all the 2,000 horses in the camp here, and then conveyed Huangfu Chaobo's order to Zhao Yun and Su Zhi's three generals.

After hearing Dian Wei's words, the three of them fell into silence. Then, Zhao Yun said: "General Su, gather the generals above the rank of 1,000 men to discuss matters, and convey the lord's military order to them. As for the seriously injured, just say this general's military order. As the commander of this expedition, I should bear this responsibility."

"General, no, it is my responsibility to bear responsibility. How can the lord and the general bear it..." Su Zhi hurriedly said when he heard it;

The two were about to argue again, and Dian Wei said: "Two generals, the lord has said something, and it must be conveyed truthfully without any mistakes!"

Huangfu Chaobo's words moved the two of them deeply, and Zhao Yun's eyes were slightly red, as if he saw the things that happened outside the Great Wall that year. Although he heard about the matter of defending the mountains with Chen Jing and other generals from Hu Yanda later, Zhao Yun was still deeply moved.

After solemnly accepting the order, Su Zhi immediately ordered the generals with more than a thousand men to come to the tent to discuss matters. A moment later, all the generals with more than a thousand men who were still able to move in the camp came to Su Zhi's tent.

After everyone arrived, Su Zhi did not say much, and directly conveyed Huangfu Chaobo's order to everyone, and told the generals about Huangfu Chaobo's guilt and promise to those seriously injured soldiers, and the generals sighed again.

Afterwards, after discussing with the generals, Su Zhi confirmed that in addition to the more than 16,000 horses brought by Zhao Yun's troops, plus the horses in his own army and the more than 2,000 horses brought by Dian Wei, and the horses that the Xiliang army did not have time to take away when they retreated, there were a total of 20,000 horses.

In addition to the 7,000 cavalrymen of Zhao Yun and Dian Wei, there were nearly 8,000 people in total, which were used as the main force of the army to break through the defense line of Dong Zhuo's army. The remaining 12,000 horses, in addition to the 7,000 lightly wounded soldiers, were 3,000 civilian craftsmen and 2,000 longbowmen from the Longxiang Battalion.
