Even if you send troops now, they may not be able to stop them.
Hebei is doomed to chaos.
"Follow filial piety."
"exist."
Xu Ding asked, "Have you sent anyone to Hebei?"
"The minister has already sent out. But can Guan Yu and his troops hold back [-] enemy troops? I think if they can't hold out for an hour, they will be defeated."
"Hehe." Xu Ding smiled and said, "You underestimate Guan Yu, don't you?"
"It's not that I underestimate General Guan, it's really the enemy's artillery." Jia Xu paused: "Your Majesty also saw the battle yesterday. The artillery fired by the enemy is getting farther and farther and more powerful. Even our The first and second armies are far behind. Guan Yu only has more than 1000 guns under his command, and the rest are swords, shields, and horses. How can we win."
"I know what you said. I'm also trying to find a way to resolve this crisis." Xu Ding looked at the map and calculated the distance: "If I send troops from Xuzhou to the front line of Hebei. Infantry, it will take ten Five days, cavalry five days."
"According to the strength of the enemy, we need to dispatch at least five divisions to have a chance of winning."
Five divisions, or 5 people.
This is the same as the strength of the enemy army.
With weapons inferior to human beings, it is still a bit risky to fight with [-] troops.But there is no way now, Hebei needs to be rescued, and the battle of Xuzhou has to continue.
Enemy reinforcements are coming.
If a large number of troops are transferred away, Xuzhou may still fall.
Considering various reasons, it is more appropriate to send [-] troops to support Hebei.
"The war is urgent, and it should be sooner rather than later. When General Wenhe and Tai Shici return, we will form a corps and march north to meet the enemy." Guo Jia said.
"Ah."
Xu Ding ordered the division commanders under him to report the number of casualties.
It took Xu Ding several hours to integrate the troops.5 people were transferred from them to form the Eastward Corps.Moreover, a written order was written, appointing Jia Xu as the commander of the Dongjin Corps and Zhang Liao as the chief of staff.
Tomorrow morning, he will lead the army to Baimajin.
Hebei.
Jizhou.
Yecheng Mansion.
Guan Yu has been stationed here.
This morning, he received an urgent letter.
Open it to see.
The letter said that [-] enemy troops were about to arrive in Jizhou, so please be careful.
Guan Yu didn't believe it at first.
Hebei is in the rear of the Huaxia Kingdom, and the enemy is in Jiangdong. How could it be possible to cross the Central Plains and come to Hebei to fight.
but.
When he read the letter, he realized that it was signed by Guo Jia.
Guo Jia would not lie to him.
He must have received the exact information before warning him.
Guan Yu didn't dare to be careless, so he quickly summoned the generals in Yecheng, mobilized [-] elites, and rushed to Liyang.
The opposite of Liyang is Baimajin, and the middle is the Yellow River.
If Guan Yu wanted to prevent the enemy from entering Hebei, he had to defend Liyang.
He knew that the enemy army in Jiangdong was very powerful.Even the newly formed first and second armies are cautious and treading on thin ice.Even if Jia Xu personally commanded, he had to be forced to besiege.
With only 2 people in his hands, almost all of them are cold weapons. How can he win this battle?
Guan Yu was thinking all the way.
Until his army crossed the Zaoshui River and came to the front line of Liyang.The army stationed in Liyang received news that the enemy did not come here.
"strangeness."
Several days have passed since he received the letter and arrived in Liyang.
According to Guo Jia's calculation, the enemy should have arrived long ago.
Now there is not even a shadow, is this news inaccurate?
Guan Yu led an army and stayed in Liyang, and sent someone to write back to Guo Jia, wanting to ask for clarification.
time flies.
blink of an eye.
Another two days.
Guo Jia's reply letter has not come yet.
But Guan Yu received a defeat report!
The enemy had already arrived in Hebei four days ago.However, they did not intend to attack Li Yang, but landed from Pingyuan County.
Now the seven counties of Pingyuan County have all fallen.
The army of the Western Shang Empire was divided into two groups.All the way westward, ready to attack Yecheng.Go all the way north and attack Nanpi.The speed was so fast that Guan Yu didn't even have a chance to react.
Chapter 860 Supporting Hebei
"The enemy attacked from two directions and moved quickly. If I divide my troops to meet the attack, it will solve the urgent need, just."
Guan Yu was very worried.
Even the first and second armies are no match for the enemy.
How can his Hebei Field Army win with only 2 people left?
Even if the troops are divided, it won't last long.
