Chapter 943: Battle of Shouchun (9)

At this time, 40,000 reinforcements from the Anton Army had also arrived. As a result, the number of Anton Army soldiers and horses once again exceeded 100,000, and it reached 110,000 troops not counting the wounded.

Afterwards, Huang Zhong once again adjusted his troops and horses, and the number of soldiers in the war camp increased again, and their combat effectiveness also increased a lot, making the generals in the army look forward to the upcoming war even more.

Looking at the soldiers advancing in front of the city despite the rain of arrows, Huangfu Chaobo asked Guo Jia next to him: "Fengxiao, how is the attack situation of the other two families?"

"Both families are fighting for their lives. Cao Cao fell into Yuan Shu's scheme because of his own obsession. He was probably very angry, so starting from yesterday, he commanded the army to attack Dongcheng almost regardless of casualties. Sun Ce, on the other hand, wanted to attack as soon as possible. I entered the city to find out where the jade seal was, so I became ruthless. It is said that I personally led the troops to attack the city yesterday." Guo Jia said lazily, holding a wine bottle in his hand;

Ever since they hooked up with Pang Tong, the two drunkards had a similar affinity and could not do without drinking almost every day. Especially after Lu Su joined these days, the two of them had a shield. Fortunately, Huangfu Chaobo strictly limited the amount of wine provided to the two of them. It was impossible for the two of them to drink wine all day long, but they still kept the wine bottle with them and took a sip from time to time, which would not cause any problems. Therefore, Huangfu Chaobo did not restrict the two of them too much.

"Brother, please order the army to increase the intensity of the attack. If we don't synchronize with them, if one of the two families really gives up the fight, they will be completely defeated by then."

"General, don't worry. We have already made arrangements. From today on, our army's offensive intensity will also increase. In addition, 40,000 reinforcements have arrived. If we don't take advantage of this time to reorganize and replenish all the military camps, it is estimated that You won’t be able to catch up.”

Several people listened and nodded knowingly. Although at this time, except for Huangfu Chaobo and a few others, everyone else was isolated twenty steps away by the Guards, Huang Zhong still said something very cryptically.

While several people were talking, suddenly someone from the guards nearby shouted: "Look, we've already attacked!"

When everyone looked up towards the city wall, they saw that dozens of soldiers from the Anton Army had already attacked the city. The leader was a general in a fiery red robe. Huangfu Chaobo recognized him at a glance. Yellow dancing butterfly.

Huangfu Chaobo frowned, looked at Huang Zhong and said, "Is Wudie leading the troops this round? Why did she go into battle in person? What should I do if something goes wrong?"

However, Huang Zhong didn't care. As a general, he could only hide behind, but he had to take the lead at critical moments.

"General, don't worry. It is Lei Bo who is defending the west city. Even he himself is not Huang Wudie's opponent. What's more, after Sun Ce personally led the troops to attack Nancheng yesterday, Lei Bo has gone to Nancheng to take charge of the defense. Now the commander of the west city is Yuan Shu's. My son-in-law, Huang Yi, is nothing to worry about.”

If the earthen pot is not broken outside the well, the general will inevitably die in battle!

Suddenly, a sentence suddenly popped into Huangfu Chaobo's mind, just like when Guo Daxian was ambushed and killed in Chenliu, and the entire army was destroyed. If the personal guards around him were strong enough, there would be no problem for him to escape, but he never mentioned this problem again.

The Anton Army will have more and more wars in the future, and it seems that he must make relevant preparations in advance.

Thinking of this, Huangfu Chaobo turned to Dian Wei and Gao Shun beside him and said: "General Dian, General Gao, after the Shouchun War this time, you two will be responsible for selecting from all the soldiers and horses under the Antong Army. The soldiers will be selected according to the standards of the trapped camp, and then you and General Shi A will be trained. I will ask Xu Shu and Tian Feng to equip these people with the best equipment and the best horses and integrate them into the iron army. After the training is completed, they will be assigned to the generals as personal guards. As for the number of people, they will be guarded.

After pondering for a moment, he said: "Let's make arrangements according to the number of ten generals in each school, fifty in each battalion, and one hundred in each army."

Speaking of which,

Huangfu Chaobo thought again that he could not favor one against another. Military generals should be equipped with personal guards, and civilian officials must also be protected. However, they did not need to charge into battle, and the number could be smaller. Then he added: "By the way, the chief officials in various places also need to be equipped with personal guards. Well, according to the principle, there are ten county magistrates, five county magistrates and county lieutenants; twenty prefects, ten county magistrates, and county captains are not fighting There are ten people at the time, fifty people during the war; fifty people for the governor of the state, and twenty people for each of the governors."

"As for the Iron Wall Battalion around me, let's first equip the generals and officials' personal guards. It is enough to have the trapped camp and the other battalions. After the generals' personal guards are fully equipped, the Iron Wall Battalion around me will be ready. It is enough for the camp to maintain a thousand men.”

Everyone immediately understood what Huangfu Chaobo meant. He selected all the most elite soldiers in the army. Except for those who were trapped in the camp, the rest of the soldiers were trained by Gao Shun's military formation and Dian Wei and Shi'a's combat training. With the best weapons, equipment and war horses, it is definitely the greatest security guarantee for generals and officials.

For a moment, everyone was so moved that they all bowed and saluted: "My lord is so righteous, the generals (juniors) and others are so grateful!"

"Young masters, you don't have to be like this. A thousand pieces of gold is easy to get, but a general is hard to find. If I had arranged this earlier, Guo Daxian wouldn't have stayed in Chenliu back then..." Huangfu Chaobo shook his head and sighed;

In fact, there is another meaning. After Shi A joins, in addition to teaching fighting skills, he will definitely develop some shadow guards. It’s just that Huangfu Chaobo’s purpose is so legitimate that everyone knows the secret things, and no one will be ignorant to expose them. Moreover, the elite level of these soldiers is truly unquestionable. In troubled times, no one can guarantee that they will be in danger one day, so no one says anything.

At this time, the battle on the top of the city has fallen into a stalemate. Although soldiers continue to climb up the city wall through ladders, the Yuan Shu army in the city has a greater number of advantages, making it impossible for Huang Wudie, who attacked the top of the city, to display her skills, let alone open the situation.

Seeing that she had been on the city wall for more than a quarter of an hour, the battle was still unable to change the situation. Huang Zhong also knew that this round of attack had failed again, so he had to order the troops to retreat.

"Ding Ding..."

As the gong sounded, the Anton army retreated from the city wall like a tide, and the injured soldiers were taken away with them, leaving only corpses and broken weapons and arrows on the ground, as well as the siege equipment with wisps of green smoke.
