Before he gave the order, news came from the front that the enemy withdrew to the east.

"Withdrawn?"

Jia Xu thought for a while, and ordered: "Order all the troops not to attack rashly. All troops, move closer to Pengcheng. Let General Tai Shici also withdraw from Xiaogu Mountain. It is a very unfavorable terrain, so we must not stay for a long time."

"promise."

Under Jia Xu's deployment, all the troops stayed in place for another half an hour.After the enemy leaves, go to Pengcheng immediately.

Pengcheng has been captured by the enemy.

But Pengcheng's terrain is not very good, and it is easy to be surrounded by cavalry.

Jia Xu stabbed, with [-] cavalry, extremely mobile.

Once Pengcheng was surrounded, the enemy would not even have a chance to evacuate.

therefore.

Knowing that Jia Xu was approaching Pengcheng, a brigade stationed there quickly withdrew from the city.

Go to the east for twenty miles and join the large army.

Inside Pengcheng.

Fuzhong.

After Tai Shici came back, he returned to Jia Xu.

To be honest, he is very shameless.

When he saw Jia Xu, he kept his head down, cupped his hands and said, "Sir, I didn't fight this battle well, I hope you will punish me."

"It's true that you didn't fight well. But you still have credit for being able to keep the main force of the third column in an unfavorable situation. Even if your merits and demerits are equal."

Jia Xu did not punish Tai Shici.

He is now employing people, and he has punished Tai Shici, who will lead the third column.

Moreover, it is not bad for Tai Shici to use his troops cautiously.

In the next battle, using troops cautiously may be the way to victory.

Chapter 855 The second batch of reinforcements from the Western Shang Empire

"General Tai Shici, the third column, how many casualties are there?" Jia Xu asked.

"About half of the brigade was killed or injured, all of them were bombed by the enemy's artillery fire while defending Xiaogushan." Tai Shici cupped his hands and said, "But please rest assured, sir, the general is already familiar with their fighting methods. If we fight again , I must have the certainty of victory."

"Really?"

"Ah."

Tai Shici nodded solemnly.

Jia Xu smiled lightly.

Even he is not sure, how can Tai Shici be sure.

But it's good to have confidence.

Jia Xu didn't hit him.

He smiled and said, "General Tai Shici, go prepare for the next big battle."

"Yes."

Tai Shici left.

For the next few days.

The enemy did not take any action.

Perhaps it was because they were afraid of the cavalry of the Second Army and did not dare to set up outside Pengcheng.

Jia Xu arranged everything.

Start preparing for the counterattack.

But he was also worried that the newly formed army would be no match for the elite of the Western Shang Empire, so he was a little hesitant.

"The enemy forces are divided into two groups. The road in front of us is their main force. The road to attack Huaiyin is less than seven thousand. If their main force can be eliminated, the enemy army will disperse."

Xu Huang said.

"Gong Ming's words are very pleasing to me. It's just that this battle is crucial to our army and the defense of Xuzhou. If we lose, the Central Plains will be difficult to defend."

"Therefore, if you are not absolutely sure, don't attack lightly."

Jia Xu asked someone to make a sand table for the two states of Xu and Yang, and placed it in the middle of the lobby.

The generals will gather around.

"Let's talk about how to fight this battle well?" Jia Xu has already thought of some ways.It's just that I don't have much confidence in winning, and I want to improve it, so I brainstormed.

Zhang Liao went out and said, "Actually, there is nothing to talk about in this battle. Our cavalry is stronger than the enemy's. We should use the cavalry as the main force to attack and encircle and annihilate the enemy in the wild."

"What you said is too broad, can you elaborate?" Jia Xu asked.

"Yes."

Zhang Liao said: "The enemy has come from afar, and there must not be much food. We will concentrate the cavalry and seal off the place where they camp. After a long time, they will definitely fight us. At that time, the cavalry will be the main force, and the infantry in three columns As a supplement, fight a war of encirclement and annihilation."

Huh?

Jia Xu's eyes brightened.

That was his original plan.

It is similar to that produced by Zhang Liao.

This is also the safest way to play.

"The last general also agrees." Xu Huang said.

"Pengcheng is not conducive to defending. If we can strike first and control the enemy, the situation will be in our favor." Tai Shi said kindly.

"There is another way to mobilize the enemy." Xu Huang said: "Go and attack the enemy in Huaiyin, trying to encircle Xiapi and even attack Tanxian County. Now they have just entered Xuzhou, and they haven't done anything yet. When Xiapi falls, we will Surrounded by heavy troops and unable to attack, we can mobilize Pengcheng's army to rescue us and ambush them halfway to wipe out their main force."
