Chapter 917

In the Anton camp, Huang Zhong solemnly looks at the movement of Ji Ling's army. He sees that Ji Ling has sent out all the heavy infantry and the imperial guards. He knows that Ji Ling is ready for the first World War.

"If the order goes on, the crossbow soldiers will continue to aim at the forward of Ji Ling army and shoot. The Archer will have a rest for a while. When the other heavy infantry enter 60 steps, they will start to shoot!" Huang Zhongtou didn't return either.

immediately, some guards went to the bow and crossbow soldiers to send orders.

Soon, Huang Zhong said, "the herald's spearmen are ready to fight!"

Another pro guard immediately turned to convey his order. Huangfu Chaobo stood beside him. General Anton, who had been through many battles, also saw the problem and said, "brother, it seems that Ji Ling is going to work hard!"

Huang Zhong nodded. He was just about to speak, but he was stopped by Huangfu Chaobo. But he had to put his energy into the war.

After getting Huang Zhong's order, the archers of Anton's army stop shooting. They have a rest and wait for Ji Lingjun to enter the prescribed range. In fact, the crossbow soldiers can also shoot at a small angle, but their throwing effect is worse than that of bows and arrows. That's why Huang Zhong arranged this.

It's getting dark, but the fighting is getting fierce. Ji Lingjun has approached the last ditch in front of the defense line, which is the most critical ditch and the most difficult one to pass. A lot of huge fires have been placed in front of the ditch and within the range of dozens of steps before and after the defense line. These fires have been ignited, illuminating the whole battlefield.

With the heavy infantry entering the archer's attack range and Huang Wudi's command, thousands of archers launched a volley towards the target. Because Huang's three generals were all bow generals, Huang Wudi was temporarily appointed as the general of the archers to command the whole archers.

At this time, Ji Ling's vanguard army had already arrived at the trench in front of Anton's parapet. The distance of dozens of steps caused more than 20% of the 20000 vanguard troops to lose their feet and more than 4000 soldiers to die. The taxi driver near the ditch jumped into the ditch without hesitation, and then tried to climb out of the ditch with both hands and feet. Unfortunately, although the trench was not deep, the distance between the back and the cart was only one step away. After climbing up, only one or two people could stand on it. Before the taxi driver could react, he was stabbed to death by the long Gunners of Anton's army, and then lay dead on the spot.

Seeing that the vanguard troops and horses had already begun to fight with Anton's army, Ji Ling waved his hand again. The sound of the Chinese Army's war drum became urgent. The heavy infantry and the imperial army began to speed up their advance, and the real bloody battle was about to start again.

Soon, countless Ji Lingjun bodies fell in the trench in front of the breast wall, and the trench about four feet deep could not stop Ji Lingjun's attack. However, there are more taxis in it than those who fall down in the process of attack. If it were not for the heavy infantry and the elite of the Imperial Army, which are more than 20000, had been within dozens of steps behind them, it is estimated that the remaining 10000 would have collapsed.

Seeing this, Huang Zhong also ignored Huangfu Chaobo's opposition and ordered him to be escorted to the back. However, because of his firm opposition, he did not return to the other side of the river.

After retreating to the Bank of the river, Huangfu Chaobo knew that he could not go to the front line, so as not to affect the battle of Huang Zhong and other generals. After all, now that he was no longer in the battle of changshe, he had to take part in the battle himself. In this case, Huangfu Chaobo didn't ask for it either, so he had to stay behind and carefully observe the situation of the transport team crossing the river.

There are more than 2400 wagons, of which less than 1000 are still on the West Bank of the river. The rest of the wagons have successfully crossed the river, set fire to Yulou County in the southwest, and Huangfu Chaobo can still see a long fire dragon on the West Bank, stretching several miles away.

Huangfu Chaobo called in the general in charge of the barracks and asked, "how many wagons have not crossed the river?"

"To my Lord, there are 928 vehicles, 1304 vehicles that have crossed the river, and 200 vehicles that have been pulled by the army to stop yuan's attack."

"How long will it take for these vehicles to cross the river?" Huangfu Chaobo thought about it and then asked;

"at least it will take another hour."

It will take another hour. I don't know how many soldiers will be lost in this hour. Although Huangfu Chaobo was unwilling, he had nothing to do. He didn't know what was going on in the war. If he couldn't take enough food with him, and if the reinforcements couldn't come as soon as possible, he would lose his 100000 troops.

If there is no army, Huangfu Chaobo will not worry. The problem is that there are so many generals, especially Huang Zhong, who are historical generals. If they lose here, it will be more difficult for Huangfu Chaobo to accept than the loss of hundreds of thousands of troops. However, it would be impossible to abandon the army and let the generals break through. Ji Ling would rather be captured than run away alone, which laid an incomparable position in Yuan Shu's army.

It is also impossible for Huang Zhong and Zhang Ying to act like this because of their status and disposition. This is the shame of the general. Therefore, in any case, Huangfu Chaobo could only gather as much food as possible to support the arrival of reinforcements.

It's just that we don't know when the reinforcements will arrive. Secondly, even if more than 100000 reinforcements arrive in Huainan, who will be the main general will be a problem. There are few generals under Huangfu Chaobo who can command tens of thousands of troops. Now Huang Zhong is in the battlefield here, Zhao Yunyuan is in Hebei, Xu Rong is in Qingzhou, and even Zhang Ying, the next general appointed by Huangfu Chaobo, is here.It seems that after the army returns to Yulou, it is necessary to find a way to send cavalry to escort Huang Zhong back to geyang and let him take charge of the army. He just handed over the battle of Yulou to Zhang Ying and trained him to improve his reputation in the army and prepare for the new army.

After thinking about these things, Huang Fu's eyes were once again focused on the defense line where the fierce battle was going on.

At this time, more than 20000 elite troops of Jiling army had already attacked the front of the defense line, and soldiers of both sides were fighting fiercely on both sides of the defense line. What made Huangfu Chaobo feel at ease was that at present, the defense line of his family was relatively stable. General Huang Zhong's middle and senior generals were all arranged in the whole front. With these strong generals, the front was basically stable.

However, with the advance of time, the weakness of the army was reflected. The second wave of army sent by Ji Ling was the most elite army in Yuan Shu's army, with more than 20000 troops. In Huangfu Chaobo's army, only thousands of elite soldiers from the guards could really compete with it. When the other battalions really fought against each other, they were still slightly worse than them.
