If the stalemate continues, there will be many variables.

Two quarters later.

Lu Xun received the news that the enemy troops who were attacking the western defense line broke out to the south and exchanged fire with the regiment sent by the third brigade.Finally hit it out.

Lu Xun was happy instead of worried.

This shows that the enemy is preparing to withdraw.

"Inform the troops on the front line to stand by and not act rashly. If the enemy retreats, let alone pursue them," Lu Xun said.

"Yes."

This order was passed on, and all the troops in front stopped.

Even the artillery battalion no longer attacked the plain where the enemy was.

The enemy does not fight back.

The battlefield was surprisingly quiet.

until half an hour later.

The enemy's troops on the western front moved eastward for more than ten miles.

Only the main force of the enemy army tied up in the plain area could retreat in an orderly manner.

Because he was worried that the enemy's troops were too strong, and Lu Xun was not sure, he did not pursue them.All the enemy troops were withdrawn from the battlefield.

When Huang Zhong heard the news, he rushed over angrily and asked Lu Xun, "Why didn't you take advantage of the victory to pursue the enemy after you finally defeated the enemy?"

"Old general, it's not that I don't pursue, but rather."

"What is it? What a great opportunity, you just wasted it like this." Huang Zhong had a look of pity.If it were him, he would definitely hunt him down to the end.

"The old general doesn't know. Our troops are suffering a lot now. The first brigade and the third brigade have broken organizational systems and urgently need to be repaired. Although the enemy army also suffered huge casualties, they are so numerous that they don't care at all. The reason for the evacuation is probably because we don’t have cannons in our hands, and we are not good at long-distance support troops. If we chase them hard and drive them into a hurry, and then fight us to the death, we may not be able to win.”

Lu Xun explained, and finally said: "Besides, in this battle, we wiped out nearly [-] enemy troops, captured [-] mountain cannons, and more than [-] shells. There are also weapons that can equip a division. These can be given to the Central Plains Field Army, so that they also have a strong combat effectiveness. I believe that when we fight again next time, we will win!"

"Uh."

Lu Xun's eloquence was good, but Huang Zhong was speechless.

I was still angry at first, but now I can't get angry anymore.

"Old general, go back to Qiaojun City and report to your orders. Your Majesty is still waiting," Lu Xun said.

"Let's go."

Huang Zhong felt relieved.

The two rushed to Qiao County together.

Before leaving, he did not forget to order the troops on the front line to collect all the cannons and guns on the battlefield.These are the keys to victory in the next battle.

In the city of Qiaojun.

Xu Ding defeated the besieging troops and drank tea with Dian Wei in the mansion.

Lu Xun came back and reported the progress of the battle.

Xu Ding nodded and said, "Bo Yan directed well."

"Han Sheng, you have to learn from Bo Yan. You can't take the risk of attacking just because I am here and eager to defeat the enemy. It is our own strength that will be lost in this way."

"Yes."

Huang Zhong responded.

Xu Ding motioned for them all to sit down.

Glancing at the map hanging behind him, he said, "According to the current situation, there shouldn't be any problems when Boyan is stationed in Qiao County. I can also train special forces with confidence. There will be more troops. Don’t be careless, and be prepared for a big battle.”

"Yes."

"From the map, the enemy can only have two strategic goals. One is to march westward and capture Xuchang. After all, Xuchang is our capital, and taking it there is equivalent to destroying our political center. Said, it is a huge temptation. The second is to advance into the Central Plains and seize the Qingzhou and Xuzhous. But so far, they have not done so. This time when I return to Xuchang, I will send heavy troops to the Central Plains for defense. You must be more careful when stationed here No matter what happens, the enemy cannot be allowed to enter Yuyan Prefecture, otherwise the battle between Central Plains and Jingzhou will also be implicated." Xu Ding said.

Lu Xun stood up, cupped his hands and replied, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will definitely guard Qiao County and prevent an enemy from passing by!"

Chapter 853 Going to Xuzhou

"Ah."

Xu Ding nodded.

After these few days of fighting, Xu Ding has already confirmed that Lu Xun is a rare military talent.

To some extent, he is more suitable for commanding at the front than Jia Xu and Guo Jia.

Of course, this does not mean that Jia Xu and Guo Jia are not good.

Their talents are not in commanding troops in battle, but in strategy!Control the overall situation and win thousands of miles.

And Lu Xun is the executor on the front line.

"How many weapons and equipment have we seized in this battle?" Xu Ding asked.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the brigades are cleaning the battlefield. At the end, there are estimated to be tens of thousands of rifles, as well as a large number of bullets and artillery, enough to equip a division." Lu Xun replied.

"Give all these weapons and equipment to Huang Zhong's Central Plains Field Army. This way you will be more secure when stationed in Qiao County," Xu Ding said.

"Yes."

Lu Xun also wanted to suggest ways to enhance the combat effectiveness of the Central Plains Field Army.

Unexpectedly, Xu Ding brought it up first.

This also saves him from talking too much.

Hand over Qiaojun City to Lu Xun and Huang Zhong.

Xu Ding took Dian Wei and the Imperial Forest Army back to the mountain range where the special forces trained.

Counting the time, it has been more than ten days since I left this mountain range.

During this period, no news came out.

The special forces who participated in the training did not know what the situation was.
