Outside the camp, when he saw the flames, Leibo couldn't help wiping a cold sweat. Fortunately, Laozi had a long mind. He transferred 5000 troops to the camp first, but he led 10000 elite soldiers to go in at last. Otherwise, he would have one of his own. It seems that what Mr. Shu said is right. Anton's army must have one Later.

Thinking of this, Lei Bo was shocked. He was still in the camp. Thousands of ten thousand soldiers had already entered the camp. Lei Bo was so scared that he was cold all over... Get out now, get out of the camp, get out of there Leibo gave a loud order and led 10000 soldiers to evacuate from the camp quickly, for fear that there would be other ambushes in the camp.

Fortunately, he had been waiting for them to evacuate safely, but nothing unusual happened. Leibo waited outside the camp for a while, until there were no more soldiers in the camp. Then he led more than 4000 garrison soldiers and his own 10000 soldiers to chase after Ji Ling's headquarters. As for the camp which is already burning, no one wants to take charge of it, Anyway, it's not your own thing that burned.

More than ten miles to the south, the skyrocketing fireworks in the camp can be seen clearly by all the soldiers of Anton's army who are retreating. Although they don't know how many Yuan Shu's army will be burned by the fire, they all know that if the camp is on fire, it means that Ji Ling has seen through his own layout and the army has begun to catch up.

The daily march mileage of the army is 50 Li, and the walking distance of each hour is about 10 Li. This means that the army marches normally when it is carrying baggage carts and there are materials on them. So although Anton's army has been away from the camp for more than an hour, it has only gone ten miles so far.

However, if the army did not carry a lot of supplies, the speed of marching would be faster. That is to say, if the Ji Ling army was light and fast, it would catch up with the retreating army in two to three hours. However, there is a distance of more than 60 Li and nearly 70 Li from Daying to Yulou county. The army leaves the camp at the appointed time. If it keeps going day and night, it will have to reach the foot of Yulou city the next day as soon as possible.

For the Anton army, these seven hours are the speed of life and death. A general once proposed to give up most of the grain and rush to Yulou with light clothes, but he was rejected by Huangfu Chaobo. Although Zhang Ying captured more than 100000 stone grain and grass in Yulou City, his army still has nearly 100000 troops, which is not enough for the army in January. However, it is estimated that it will take more than a month for the reinforcements from Yuzhou to arrive, and this is a smooth journey In this case.

If Yuan Shu sent another army to stop him, he would starve to death in Yulou. So Huangfu Chaobo thought again and again and decided to take tens of thousands of stone grain from the camp to Yulou. Even though Huangfu Chaobo didn't want to leave the grain behind, the army only took more than 60000 stone grain by truck in the end. Even so, according to the 25 stone grain per vehicle, there are still more than 2000 vehicles.

But now, it's obvious that Ji Ling has found the withdrawal of his army, which is far earlier than the predicted noon. It seems that Ji Ling's army has begun to pursue. If the inference is correct, it should be three to four hours before Ji Ling's army will catch up with his retreating army.

Seeing this situation, Huangfu Chaobo also fell into meditation again. It was a difficult problem to decide whether to give up or not.

"Come on, invite the two military advisers to discuss the matter!" After pondering for a moment, Huangfu Chaobo stood up fiercely and gave an order to his personal guards.

since the first World War is inevitable, we should make preparations as early as possible. Huangfu Chaobo has made up our mind. At this time, his two military advisers were on a carriage hundreds of steps ahead, especially Guo Jia was not in good health, so he was not suitable for long-distance galloping, so Huangfu Chaobo had prepared a carriage for them as a substitute for them as early as before going out.

After Guo Jia and Pang Tong arrived, Huangfu Chaobo told them what he thought. Guo jialue said thoughtfully: "according to the speed of Ji Ling's army, it is estimated that we will catch up with our army before dark at the latest. There will be a war at the boundary. Moreover, we should be more than 30 li away from here and less than 20 Li northwest of Yulou at that time, and there is a river right here If the army crosses the river here, the speed of the wagon will be very slow. In time, if Ji lingbu just launches an attack, our army will lose a lot. "

"That's right," Pang Tong nodded. "Since the Lord wants to fight, he can set up the battlefield here to buy time for the logistics convoy to cross the river."

Following Pang Tong's fingers, Huangfu Chaobo also noticed the river. It was a small river flowing out of the Dabie Mountains and flowing into the Shihe River from south to north. The river was not wide, it was only five or six feet wide, and the water was not deep. The deepest horses could wade across the River, but the wagons couldn't.

In addition, there is only one stone bridge on the river, and it will take two or three hours for nearly 3000 wagons to cross the river. Therefore, while deciding to withdraw troops, Huangfu Chaobo has sent people to take a detour to Yulou to ask Zhang Ying to arrange the defense of the county, and then immediately lead the troops to help. The main purpose is to let him build several floating bridges on the river in advance, so as to speed up the transportation The speed of chedu river.According to Kuaima's report, Zhang Ying had arranged 1000 halberds and 1000 yuan soldiers to defend the county. He led 4000 halberds, 2000 soldiers and 8000 men to the riverside. They were busy building floating bridges. When the army arrived, they should be able to build four floating bridges, but even so, it would take more than an hour for thousands of freight cars to complete the construction He crossed the river. Therefore, it was a last resort to fight with Ji Ling's army.

Since he decided to fight, Huangfu Chaobo immediately discussed the war arrangement with the two men. After repeated discussions, several people finally determined the war arrangement. Then Huangfu Chaobo asked his personal guards to pass the order to the relevant generals. Soon, the army began to speed up and move towards the set goal.

At the same time, 2000 Tiebi battalions, 5000 tieyingruis and 10000 soldiers left most of the headquarters and headed north to meet Huang Wudi. As early as when the two armies met, Huang Wudi had already sent someone to report to Huangfu Chaobo about the confrontation between Huang Wudi and 30000 yuan Shujun. However, at that time, the strategy of fighting against Ji Ling had not been determined, so he did not rush to arrange the return of the army.

Now we have decided to fight a war with Ji lingbu. Before the war, it will be of great help to wipe out the 30000 troops of Ji lingbu.
