Chapter 903

The 1000 cavalry soldiers who first entered the city have now been led by the shadow guards in the city to the warehouse in the city. In the face of the sudden killing of the 1000 cavalry soldiers, the 200 guards in the warehouse were killed by the cavalry soldiers before they could react. Then, the cavalry soldiers quickly entered the warehouse and defended everything tightly to prevent the army in the city from recapturing the warehouse.

Zhang Ying had only two purposes in this battle: one was to occupy the county seat, the other was to grab the warehouse and protect the food and grass in the city. According to the information from the shadow guard, Anfeng and yuliu have stored nearly 150000 stones of grain and grass in the city, and Zhang Ying got the confirmation from Guo Da this afternoon. So his order to the cavalry is to occupy the warehouse as soon as they enter the city, and then nail it there, and leave other matters in the city to other departments.

An hour later, the city of Yulou was finally quiet. Zhang Ying's army had completely controlled the city. Now Zhang Ying is waiting for the generals to report the situation in the city.

Soon the generals of all the departments will arrive at the County Yamen to report the battle. Zhang Ying is very satisfied with the result. There are nearly 2000 garrisons in the city. After a big war, nearly 1000 people were killed and more than 500 people were captured by Anton's army. The other hundreds of people, led by the county captain, broke through the encirclement and left with them the county magistrate and the county Cheng.

However, their losses were not great. There were 312 casualties, including 198 dead, 65 seriously injured and 49 lightly injured in the scuffle. The warehouse in the county town was captured by cavalry. There were more than 120000 grains and 20000 weapons in it. Zhang Ying also gained more than 200000 yuan in the county government, which can be said to be a huge harvest. As for the hundreds of soldiers and several officials who broke through the siege, Zhang Ying did not care at all. In this night's scuffle, he could not completely annihilate them.

After counting the harvest, Zhang Ying ordered a large army to be on duty at night, and the rest of the army to rest immediately. At the same time, he sent messengers all night to report to the Chinese army camp.

Yuan Shu's army has already fled, so it's impossible to hide Ji Ling. Today's plan is to send the news to the camp as soon as possible to buy more time for the retreat of the army.

At Zhang Ying's command, a hundred cavalry soldiers immediately left the city and galloped toward the Northwest Chinese army camp.

on the 24th, just after the fifth shift, the sky was still dark, and a fire dragon lit up outside the Western camp of Anton's army camp. Just as the night guard was about to ring the alarm, the fire dragon stopped 200 paces away. Then a torch came out of the fire dragon and came slowly towards the West camp gate.

As the visitor approached the camp gate slowly, he said in a loud voice: "Yulou urgent report!"

Looking up, the taxi driver could see that it was Yiqi who was coming. He said in a loud voice, "come and get off the horse, wait in front of the ditch, and show me your token!"

With that, all the taxi drivers at the gate of the camp were startled. They all drew bows and arrows to the people coming outside.

Soon a soldier fell from the watchtower and came to the inside of the ditch. He said, "throw the token here."

Without hesitation, the visitor quickly threw his token at the pawn inside the ditch. Inside the trench, the soldiers picked up the token and quickly returned to the village wall. They climbed up the village wall with the rope put down by the soldiers on the watchtower and handed the token to the commander.

Soon, the suspension bridge of the gate was put down. The messenger quickly walked up the suspension bridge, passed the ditch and came to the front of the gate. Then the suspension bridge was put away. The gate was slowly opened. The messenger followed the crack and entered the gate. From beginning to end, the rest of the soldiers stayed in the same place.

Soon, the messenger was taken by the soldiers to Huangfu Chaobo's Chinese Army account. Seeing Zhang Ying's battle report, Huangfu Chaobo immediately brightened his eyes and gave a loud order: "come on, immediately invite two military strategists, General Huang and General Wang. There's an urgent military situation!"

A quarter of an hour later, everyone had already arrived at the account of Huangfu Chaobo. After everyone had settled down, Huangfu Chaobo said with a smile, "good news, everyone. Zhang Yinggang has just sent someone to get the news that he has captured Yulou county last night, and 120000 stone grain and grass in the city are intact."

When they heard this, they were all happy. Pang Tong said with a smile, "it seems that we can consider withdrawing troops."

Huangfu Chaobo said: "General Zhang thought so, so he sent troops to send news in the night. Because several officers and hundreds of soldiers in Yulou County broke through the siege at night, he thought that Ji Ling would get the news before noon today at the latest, so he suggested that the army withdraw as soon as possible."

"In your opinion, when is the best time for the army to leave?" Huangfu Chaobo looked at the crowd and asked;

Huang Zhong pondered for a moment and said: "these days after the day, the camp has been making preparations, but on the one hand, it needs to strengthen the camp defense, and on the other hand, it needs to be ready to retreat, so it is not completely ready. If you want to evacuate as soon as possible, according to General Zhang's opinion, you must hurry before Ji Ling gets the news. Time will be very tight!"

"Now there are 120000 stone grains in Yulou. You can take as much grain as you can. If you can't take all the grains away, you can burn them down. How long will it take to evacuate?" Huang Fu Chao Bo gritted his teeth and asked;

Huang Zhong thought it over carefully, and then said, "it will take at least two hours!"After listening to Huang Zhong's words, Huangfu Chaobo also fell into meditation. If he retreated in a hurry, it would certainly be bad for the later war. However, if he delayed too long, once Ji Ling got the news, he would fight to the death. It was really a dilemma. It's five o'clock in the morning, and it's nine o'clock in the morning in two hours. According to Zhang Ying's estimation, Ji Ling will get the news of Yu Lou at about twelve o'clock at the latest. It's really a little tense in terms of time.

Thinking of this, he turned to Guo Jia and Pang Tong and asked for their opinions.

"Lord, this is just the inference of General Zhang Ying. Actually, we don't have so much time at all. Therefore, there is only one hour at most. If we can't get everything ready in one hour, we must give up some things and evacuate as soon as possible, because once Ji Ling gets the news, he will fight to the death and stop our army at all costs Step back. " Seeing this, Guo Jia quickly got up and replied;

"yes, both armies are infantry soldiers, and our army's combat power is slightly inferior. If the old battalions of our Anton army are OK, this time all the battalions of Yuzhou army and Anton army are newly formed. Once they are entangled in the field, they will never die. In this way, even our army can withdraw If we go, I'm afraid we'll really lose a lot. " Pang Tong added on the side;
