Cao Liang's order was very clear. Since the Right Guard Camp failed to conquer Huai County, he would probably fall into the dilemma of being attacked from both sides when Chen Tai's army counterattacked. Therefore, Cao Liang asked Liu Jing to give up the attack immediately, withdraw his troops to the Ye Wang, and meet with the Left Guard Camp.

During this raid, Cao Liang mobilized only three infantry battalions. In terms of siege, although the infantry battalion has a greater role than the cavalry battalion, in field battles, the infantry battalion is definitely inferior to the cavalry. It is impossible for any infantry battalion to have the terrifying defense power of Ma Long's flat box van formation.

Some of Chen Tai's troops who returned to Huai County this time were cavalry. Cao Liang was worried that the Right Guard Battalion would be surrounded by the enemy if it did not retreat in time, so as soon as he discovered the movements of Chen Tai's army, Cao Liang immediately sent a fast horse to send a message to Liu Jing.

The transmission of information on the battlefield is extremely important. Although Cao Liang, as the highest commander, did not participate in the specific battle, he was in charge of the central army and was able to plan, but he did not dare to relax at all.

The Bingzhou Army was blooming at multiple points in Wulongkou, Yewang, Wenxian and Huaixian at the same time. Cao Liang naturally had to take into account all aspects of the entire battlefield. He sent a large number of scouts to timely summarize the information from each battlefield and grasp the dynamics in all directions.

The battle at Wulongkou has come to an end. Ma Long's vanguard battalion has already been amazing enough. They not only resisted Chen Tai's attack, but also caused Chen Tai to suffer great losses. Chen Tai was already unable to launch another attack, and retreating was inevitable.

At the same time, Ma Long successfully restrained Chen Tai's main force and won the opportunity for the attacks of other Bingzhou troops. Ye Wang and Wen County fought very beautifully. Qian Hong and Yang Hu took these two cities in just a few hours.

As long as the city is in hand, the Bingzhou army will not be afraid of the Sima army's counterattack, not to mention that the Tunqi Camp and the Xiaoqi Camp are already on the way. Once they join the battle, the situation in the entire Hanoi will change drastically. If the Yewang, Wenxian and Huaixian all change hands, Chen Tai will be both a stray dog ​​and will have no other place to live in Hanoi.

But at the critical moment, the Right Guard still lost its chain. Their attack on Huai County was frustrated and they failed to be as smooth as the Left Guard and the Infantry Battalion.

However, this result was not beyond Cao Liang's expectations. After all, Huai County is the county seat of Hanoi. In terms of defense capabilities, Huai County is higher than Wen County and Yewang. What's more, Chen Tai's Wulongkou battle only drew the army of Wen County and Yewang, so Huai County's defense power has not weakened at all. It is indeed very difficult for the Right Guard Camp to take Huai County in such a short time.

So after Cao Liang learned that Chen Tai's army had returned to Huai County, he immediately ordered Liu Jing to retreat as soon as possible and not to fight with Chen Tai's army.

After receiving the order, although he was a little depressed, he decisively ordered the entire battalion to withdraw his troops to the Ye Wang immediately.

Chen Tai led the soldiers to travel all the way and headed straight to Huai County.

The loss of Wen County and Ye Wang was a heavy blow to Chen Tai and also declared the bankruptcy of his Hanoi defense system. However, Huai County, a major city in Hanoi, must not be lost. Once it is lost, Chen Tai's situation will become more and more difficult.

That's why Chen Tai returned to Huai County desperately, and now defending Huai County has become his last hope.

However, he hoped that the Bingzhou army was besieging Huai County at this moment, so that he could attack from behind and give the Bingzhou army a heavy blow to save his face.

In the past two days, Chen Tai has suffered too many failures. He fought in Wulongkou. Facing the Bingzhou Pioneer Camp like a turtle shell, Chen Tai attacked repeatedly, but failed repeatedly. Although he always held the initiative on the battlefield, he could never eat such a team of 3,000 people. As a result, he attacked too hard, resulting in more than 5,000 people in self-damage.

This battle obviously cannot be fought any longer. After fighting, not only can the enemy be lost, but even his own troops are almost exhausted.

However, compared with the news that Yewang Wen County was lost, Wulongkou's failure seemed to be nothing. Judging from the current situation, Cao Liang is obviously playing a big game of chess.

Ma Long's Pioneer Camp was just a pawn crossing the river, and even Cao Liang used it as bait as an abandoned child, but this chess that seemed to be abandoned made Chen Tai feel overwhelmed.

Cao Liang's target of this attack was the entire Hanoi. After throwing out the bait of Ma Long to attract Chen Tai's attention, he secretly crossed Chen Cang and launched an attack on Ye Wang, Wen County and Huai County. He opened his mouth very much, and he was completely preparing to swallow Hanoi in one go.

The Yewang and Wen County were the first to fall, which made Chen Tai completely panic and fell into a trap. This time, he really fell into a trap. Fortunately, there was no bad news from Huai County, which made Chen Tai breathe a little.

We must not let Huai County fall. Chen Tai didn't care about Wen County and Ye Wang who had lost it. Even though he was closest to Wen County at this moment, Chen Tai directly bypassed Wen County, led his army to advance eastward, and rushed to Huai County quickly.

Although Chen Tai's 10,000 troops were lost in the Battle of Wulongkou, after Zhang Ren and Li Yi led the remnants of Wenxian and Yewang's defeated brigade, Chen Tai had another 20,000 people. Of course, this is thankful to Li Yi. It is precisely because he escaped faster that the Wenxian defenders were able to be preserved in an institutional way.

This is obviously probably the biggest black humor, but Chen Tai doesn't care about punishing Li Yi now. The most urgent thing is that Huai County is still important.

Chen Tai drove straight forward all the way, almost no physical strength. The cavalry was better, and the infantry ran wildly, exhausted, and almost lost their bodies.

However, when he saw the city walls of Huai County, Chen Tai finally let out a long sigh. At least he could see from a distance that the banner of Sima Jun was still flying on the city walls of Huai County. This made Chen Tai feel relieved. Fortunately, Huai County was not lost!

However, Chen Tai was a little puzzled. Why could there be no one in the city? Logically speaking, the Bingzhou army had attacked Huai County before and should be nearby at this moment, so why did it disappear?

Chen Tai observed carefully and found that there were indeed traces of battle here, rolling stone bullets, broken city walls, and damaged military weapons, but no corpse was seen.

If the Bingzhou army came to attack the city, there would definitely be casualties, but the bodies were gone, so it must have been taken away by the Bingzhou army.

I rushed along the way, but in the end it seemed that I was still one step late.
Chapter completed!
