Chapter 490: Stop offense

In a thrilling and fierce collision and fighting, the soldiers of the Qin army were indomitable and fearless to death, and the soldiers of the Jiangdong army resisted and did not retreat. On the battlefield, swords, lights, and swords were seen flying across. The mighty cavalry hit the flying infantry, and Rulin's spear knocked the cavalry to the ground.

The Qin army was unable to break through the formation with repeated fierce battles, but instead damaged a lot of war knights. The Jiangdong army withstood the onslaught of the Qin war knights. With more and more support troops, the line of defense became stronger and stronger! The monstrous roar, the long spears layered on top of each other like forests and mountains, formed a line that was almost impossible to break through! However, the Qin generals who killed the red-eyed soldiers continued to roar and rush forward, seeing them fall in front of the opponent's dense spear formation one by one! On the scene, the **** flying people turned their backs on their horses. Although the Qin Army's war cavalry could not break the formation, it seemed to have completely suppressed the opponent in its momentum.

Hearing, a few short horns suddenly crossed the sky of the battlefield, and the red-eyed person asked for leave and stood up and calmed down. Then they turned their horses and ran away from the battle.

Seeing the Qin army retreating, the Jiangdong army generals couldn't help but boosted their morale and let out a cry of earth-shattering. Seeing that there was an opportunity, Zhou Yu immediately ordered all the horses under his command to attack! The Jiangdong Army is no better than the Qin Army. The number of war horses is limited. Like Zhou Yu’s 200,000 soldiers and horses, there are only 10,000 war horses. After deducting the previous battle damage, there are now only 7,000 people. But at this moment, this The Seven Thousand War Cavalry had an advantage over the Qin Army.

咚咚咚咚......! The Jiangdong Army’s war drums rang with shocking prices. Seven thousand war riders, led by General Ding Feng, howled out of the army formation, and went straight to the retreating Qin army war riders! Seven thousand war horses rushed to kill, as if a pack of wolves came out of the cage, murderous!

The Qin army suddenly sounded a rapid horn, the retreating Qin army war cavalry quickly turned around and galloped, and quickly turned to counterattack from the retreat. Thousands of war cavalry roared like a dragon and tiger leaped against the Jiangdong army war cavalry! The cavalry on the two sides confronted each other, and saw the dust and iron hoofs roaring, and the earth trembled!

In a blink of an eye, the two warriors slammed into each other, and saw iron hoofs rushing, cold light flying, and flesh and blood flying over the battlefield! The Jiangdong army screamed and went forward bravely, brandishing knives and guns desperately to attack and kill, hoping to crush the enemy in one fell swoop. They also have such self-confidence, because the Qin army has just been repelled, how much fighting spirit the newly defeated army has. However, they soon felt the power of their opponents, surging and surging, like the waves coming from the sea, and it made people feel breathless! The Jiangdong Army's war cavalry was as sturdy as a wolf and rushed desperately, while the Qin's army was as evil as a tiger. It crashed into the wolf pack. The tigers roared to the sky.

The two sides fought fiercely for a while, and the dominant Jiangdong war cavalry has gradually revealed a look of irresponsibility! The ordinary generals of the Qin Army are fierce, and those fierce generals are even more fierce. The soldiers of the Jiangdong Army are all invincible, and no one can stop them!

Seeing that his war cavalry was in a disadvantaged situation, Zhou Yu urged the messenger to sound the horn of retreat. The Jiangdong War Cavalry, who was struggling to support, heard the horn of the retreat, and couldn't help but vent, and quickly turned his horse's head and ran away. The soldiers of the Qin Army who were being able to kill were chased down, but Chen Langwuye stopped the soldiers who were being able to kill.

Chen Lang stared at Jiangdong Zhanqi and rushed back to his army. At this time, the Jiangdong Army's great formation has stopped advancing. The Jiangdong War Cavalry was defeated just now, and the Jiangdong Army's morale was frustrated, and he did not dare to attack again!

At this moment, there was a burst of horns across the sky from the north.

Looking towards the north, Chen Lang and others saw that soldiers and horses were like tides, flags were surging, and a large army was rolling in from the north! The generals of the Qin Army couldn't help but smile!

On the Jiangdong army's side, seeing this scene, they couldn't help but feel a little panicked. Zhou Yu frowned and shouted: "Retreat into the camp!" The Jiangdong Army retreated immediately. After the cavalry of the infantrymen broke off, they retreated into the camp without wilting.

Gan Ning led a large army into the city of Nanjun, and then Gan Ning and the others rode their horses until Chen Langma, and immediately worshipped: "Farewell to the lord!"

Chen Lang smiled and said, "You did a great job!"

Gan Ning smiled and said, "I don't dare to bow, it's all Ma Di's strategy!"

Chen Lang looked at Ma Di, smiled and said, "Ma's five permanent members are indeed well-deserved! Very good!" Ma Di was delighted in his heart, clasped his fist and said, "If his subordinates did not dare to claim credit, how could they have achieved the current record if our soldiers were not brave and invincible? !"

Chen Lang smiled and said: "You don't have to push around, you all contributed!" Then he glanced at the Jiangdong Barracks and then at the city of Nanjun, and asked everyone: "In this situation, how should our army capture it? South County?"

Gan Ning immediately rushed to the horse and said, "You come and tell your eldest brother!"

Ma Di promised, and randomly said to Chen Lang: "In this situation, you must first defeat Zhou Yu to win Nanjun. To defeat Zhou Yu, you must first defeat his navy. In the current situation, this is very difficult to achieve. Now, facing the pressure of our Qin army, Zhou Yu and Liu Bei must cooperate sincerely and jointly fight the enemy, so it will be even more difficult for our army to win! For the present plan, it is better to suspend the offensive and pretend to suspend the war with his two. Without the threat of our army, these two families will inevitably meet each other because of the southern county! At that time, our army will attack in a timely manner, and it will be a big victory!"

Chen Lang couldn't help laughing. I couldn't help but secretly said: It seems that there was no reason why Zhuge Liang valued Ma Di. This Ma Di is so resourceful and resourceful, it is really suitable to be used as a staff member! It's just that this person is only good at planning, and it is difficult to truly be alone!

auzw.com Chen Lang looked at Ma Yan with a smile, and said: "Youchang’s suggestion is very good! Nanjun is difficult to attack now, and Xichuan Xinxia needs time to digest, so please suspend the attack on Nanjun. Seeing that Chen Lang had adopted his suggestion, Ma Di couldn't help being overjoyed, and couldn't help but pray: "The lord is wise!"

Zhou Yu led the army back into the barracks, making the whole army ready for battle. According to Zhou Yu's estimation, if the Qin army wants to seize the South County, they will inevitably attack their own side first, because they can attack the South County with peace of mind only if the threat from their side is lifted.

The Jiangdong army was waiting, but to their expectation, the Qin army did not attack in the future, but retreated instead.

Zhou Yu returned to the big tent and sat down, thinking about something.

At this time, a soldier rushed in to report: "General Governor, General Huang Gai is back!"

Zhou Yu immediately raised his head, and saw Huang Gai, who was bloodstained and embarrassed, walked in, knelt down with a thump, and said in infinite shame, "The last will be insulting the prestige of Jiangdong Army, please supervise the crime!"

Zhou Yu quickly got up, walked quickly to Huang Gai, helped Huang Gai up, and said, "General Huang doesn't have to blame himself! In fact, General Huang has been guarding the gourd mouth for many days. It is already commendable! The loss of this battle is all in. I misjudged Chen Lang's sake! The old general was not at fault, and the old general must not blame himself!"

Huang Gai saw that Zhou Yu had taken all his sins to his own body, and so comforted himself so much that he couldn't help being very moved and speechless.

Ding Feng said: "Old General Huang has done his best! Actually, the most hateful one should be Liu Bei! Our army and Qin army have been in a **** battle. They are better off and took the opportunity to pick up the ready-made cheap!" The generals couldn't help but roar.

Zhou Yu was thinking and pacing back and forth.

Later that day, Zhou Yu received a report that the Qin army had really retreated. Chen Lang led the war cavalry to retreat from the waterway into the middle of Sichuan, while Gan Ning and others led the army to retreat through the gourd mouth, leaving only one. Guarding the Hulukou, the main force returned to Xiangyang and Fancheng. The navy troops and Wei Yansuo who had retreated from the southern county also retreated to Xiangyang. The Qin Army contracted in an all-round way, and it seemed that he had no intention of attacking Nanjun.

Huang Gai walked into the big account. Zhou Yu felt that someone was coming in, so she couldn't help but raise her head, saw Huang Gai, smiled and asked: "The old general is not resting in the camp, is there something important?"

Huang Gai clasped his fist and said, "General Governor, I almost forgot about one important thing!"

Zhou Yu stood up, walked to Huang Gai, and said, "Old General Huang, please speak."

Huang Gai said: "The reason why our army lost streak in a row is certainly because of the enemy's tricks, but there is also a very important reason. The chief governor, the enemy used something in this battle I have never seen and never heard of The past weapons are like thunderbolts, powerful! Our army's defensive fences are as vulnerable as dead branches and grasses in front of them!"

Zhou Yu asked in surprise, "What kind of weapon is this?"

Huang Gai said: "It's a huge black iron pipe, but it can breathe flames and make a loud thunder. The stone bullets ejected from it are extremely powerful. I think even Jiang Xia's city walls can't stand that kind of weapon for a long time. Bombardment! This kind of weapon can't help being powerful and powerful, and it's more than several times more powerful than a catapult!"

Zhou Yu thought about pacing back and forth, stopped, frowned and said: "Listening to the old general, this may be some kind of weapon that uses gunpowder!" Huang Gai moved his heart and nodded quickly: "Yes, yes! That kind! The situation is indeed caused by gunpowder!"

Zhou Yu's face was thoughtful.

Chen Lang returned to Chengdu. At this time, all the soldiers and horses of the Central Sichuan Army had retreated into Central Sichuan, except for one soldier and horse who lived in Linjiang County near Jinkuimen. At this time, Chen Lang had time to clear the reserves of Xichuan Mansion. What shocked Chen Lang was that the Xichuan Treasury actually stored 50 million yuan and a large number of antique calligraphy and paintings of gold and silver treasures, and the food reserve exceeded one million tons. This is still preliminary statistics. I am afraid that the specific number is much higher than this number.

Chen Lang couldn't help sighing, "I know Liu Zhang's search for the people. I didn't expect that Liu Bei, who has always been a gentleman, is even more ruthless than Liu Zhang!"

Pang Yi immediately said: "Liu Bei is just hypocritical! The lord doesn't know how Liu Bei wanted to levy taxes on the people in Shu. It was clear that he wanted to levy taxes, but Liu Bei burst into tears and said he was ashamed of the people in Shu! Humph, Since I feel guilty, why do I have to tax again! This person is not the same, he is really a hypocrite!" Pang Yi appeared in the previous article. He was originally Liu Zhang's relatives, but later surrendered to Liu Bei. On the surface, Liu Bei gave important tasks, but in fact, he secretly guarded against denying real power. Pang Yi hated him secretly. Therefore, when Qin Jun entered Sichuan, he and Zhang Ren and others fought against each other.
