Chapter 549: Reversal of the Situation

Nanxiang County.

The battle is in full swing, the city wall is under the onslaught of the Nanyang army, it has been crumbling, and in the face of the fierce attack of the Nanyang army soldiers outside the city, the only remaining soldiers of the Storm Bear Army on the city wall are already in danger.

"Hold on!"

"There is a gap in the western wall, and the enemy army has entered!"

"Grab it back for me, pile up the rocks, pile the gap to death!"

"The city gate is going to be unbearable!"

"Lengthen the wood from the inside, and the top is dead!"

"Bow and arrow, there are almost no bows and arrows!"

"The workshop in the city has been rushed, and if you don't have a bow and arrow, you can go up and fight directly, no matter what, you must not let the enemy army climb to the top of the city!"

“……”

The shouts on the city wall were unusually loud in the sound of the Jin Ge Iron Horse.

Manpower is sometimes exhausted, although the morale is strong, but in the face of the enemy's strong attack, the city wall still seems a little precarious, countless soldiers are also exhausted, almost exhausted the last strength in the battle.

"This Nanyang army is really crazy, the attack of the past two days is so fierce, if it goes on like this, I'm afraid we won't be able to stop it for three days!"

Zhou Cang clenched his fists and stared at the city, this attack like a tide made him wonder if the Nanyang Army was crazy, and if he was so unafraid of death, would he lose both sides and die together?

If Zhou Cang could understand the mood of Lei Bo, the commander of the Nanyang Army outside the city, he might not think so.

……

Outside the city, Lei Bo stood in the wooden shed of the nearest battlefield, staring at the battlefield in front of him, watching the soldiers climb the ladder and be smashed down, and watching the well carts close to the city wall and being pushed out, his heart was like a knife.

"Can we still breach this city?"

He asked in a low voice.

"I'm afraid I won't have a chance!"

Ji Yu's former pride and ambition are gone, all that remains is frustration, this Nanxiang city has crushed all his arrogance, he thought that as long as he attacks with all his strength, he will be able to break through the city, but the 10,000 elite reinforcements he brought have lost 3,000, but they have never been able to break through the city.

"Chen Lan!" Lei Bo looked at the deputy general Chen Lan.

Chen Lan shook her head, sighed, and then arched her hand and said: "Lord Duwei, we may have a chance for another ten days, but now, I don't have the confidence to break through, even if I break through this city, they will die with me, and everything in the city will cease to exist, and then ......"

It has been more than two days since the news of the grain route was cut off.

But Lei Bo was not reconciled.

On the one hand, he cultivated Wancheng, hoping that Wancheng would send troops to recapture the grain road, and on the other hand, he attacked Nanxiang, hoping to break through Nanxiang City before the grain was cut off.

But Nango's sturdiness was beyond his expectations.

"Xingshi moves the crowd to the core, and a certain is unwilling!" Lei Bo shouted angrily.

"Lord Captain, it's about the life and death of the soldiers, don't be rash!" Chen Lan gave up her hand to admonish.

"You're right!"

Lei Bo is a general after all, and he is still rational at this moment, he ordered with a strong unwillingness: "Order, Mingjin withdraws his troops, retreats twenty miles to the east, and slowly withdraws from the battlefield!" ”

"No!"

The generals were ordered, and they were not reconciled, but now, they can only retreat.

"Chen Lan, after you lead the troops, be careful of the counterattack in the city!"

"No!"

Chen Lan took the order.

"Nanxiang City, when I recapture the grain road, I will crush you!" Lei Bo was resolute, since he had made up his mind, he immediately implemented it, and naturally took the lead in withdrawing in person, he turned over and got on his horse, and before leaving, he also glanced at Nanxiang City fiercely.

"Bell, bell!"

"Withdraw your troops!"

"The lieutenant has an order, withdraw his troops immediately!"

The sound of gongs echoed on the battlefield, and under the sound of gold, the soldiers quickly began to change their formations, shrinking back from the offensive formation, turning into a defensive formation, and then slowly withdrawing from the battlefield.

"They're back?"

"What's going on?"

"Is there some conspiracy?"

"It's better to be careful and not let up!"

"Immediately send scouts to the police, go out of the city to investigate, and see what kind of conspiracy and tricks the Nanyang thief army is playing!"

“……“

The battle was fierce, and suddenly the Nanyang army withdrew, like a rising tide, and quickly disappeared after the tide receded, which made the soldiers of the Violent Bear Army on the city a little confused.

"Chen Nan!"

Zhou Cang's horizontal knife was immediately above the city, squinting his eyes, staring at the soldiers of the Nanyang Army who were constantly retreating outside the city, and shouted in a low voice.

"In!"

A general walked up.

"Let the most elite scouts inquire at once, and besides, continue to be on guard at the head of the city, and do not let up!"

"No!"

The uniformed general took the order and left.

"General Zhou, why did the enemy retreat?" Cai Yan walked down from the city tower, walked to the battlement at the head of the city, looked outside the city, and asked a little puzzled.

"Mrs. Bao, it's not clear yet!"

After Zhou Cang bowed his hand, he replied: "But it is a good thing for us that they are retreating at this moment, as long as we take this breath, the reinforcements of the lord should be about to arrive in Nanyang, and we will be safe!" ”

"I hope so!"

Cai Yan has been wearing this armor for several days, although she chose a softer armor, but for her as a weak woman, but among thousands of catties, she felt that she couldn't hold it anymore, but looking at the soldiers around her looking at her with those looking up eyes, she suddenly felt that there was infinite strength in her body.

These days, she stood on top of the city, and watched this tragic battle like a meat grinder, one by one, the soldiers fell forever, it was an eternal pain in her heart, and she hoped that this war would end soon.

"Many soldiers are injured again today, I will first visit the injured soldiers, and the matter of defense will be completely handed over to General Zhou!"

Cai Yan said with a smile.

"Madame, rest assured, the last general will definitely be extremely vigilant and will not give the enemy any chance to take advantage of!" Zhou Cang nodded.

…………

……

After the Nanyang army withdrew, it withdrew all the way to the east, and a day later, the whole army withdrew to the city of Shunyang.

In Shunyang City, the Nanyang army took a break.

Lei Bo is a general under Yuan Shu, he is in charge, the safety of Nanyang is in danger, he naturally has a certain ability, although the battle to attack Nanxiang is futile, but it is not a crime of war, even if they are forced to withdraw from Nanxiang, the main force is still there, and they still have an advantage.

So when he was resting in Shunyang, he did not consider withdrawing his troops at the first time.

Because he was not reconciled.

As long as the grain road is recaptured, there is still hope for him to attack Nanxiang, Nanxiang has been forced into a desperate situation by him, give him ten days and half a month, and he will definitely be able to take Nanxiang.

"Chen Lan!"

"In!"

"I order you to lead an army to attack the champion and reclaim the champion!"

"Captain, I'm afraid this won't be easy!" Chen Lan smiled bitterly: "Even if the champion county is not as strong as the Nanxiang county, it is also a big city, our large palace city equipment transportation under the champion city, it will take time, if you only use the ladder to attack, you will pay huge casualties, the most important thing is time, general, we are not enough for five days of food and grass!" ”

"Five days of food and grass?"

When Lei Bo heard this, his pupils fed his forehead, and his fists suddenly clenched.

Five days of food and grass, if you include the time of the march, that is, they only have three days to attack at most, how can this break through the champion county, unless Nanyang Wancheng sends troops to respond, but the elite of Wancheng are here, if you want to send troops, you must recruit young people, and it is too late in time.

"So how are we going to do it?"

Ji Yu panicked, he led troops to reinforce, he wanted to make merit, but he didn't want to die here.

Chen Lan glanced at Ji Yu obliquely, with a touch of disdain in his eyes, Ji Ling is so heroic, there is such a cousin, who is greedy for life and afraid of death, he thought about it, and arched his hand and said: "Captain, let's retreat, return to Wancheng to rest first, and after resting, we will make a comeback, and we will be able to recover the western part of Nanyang in the future!" ”

"Do you have to retire?" Lei Bo was unwilling in the end, this battle poured all the soldiers of Nanyang, but there was no gain at all, he fled back in a gray manner, and it reached Yuan Shu's ears, he was incompetent, he must be responsible, and it was even possible that the power of the lieutenant was not guaranteed.

"Lord Duwei, the life and death of tens of thousands of sons and daughters cannot be gamed!"

Chen Lan continued to advise.

"Then retreat!"

Lei Bo gritted his teeth and ordered word by word.

He was unwilling and did not dare to take out the main force under his command to gamble, you must know that without soldiers and horses, there is no power, he knows very well where his power comes from, he asked in a deep voice: "Now let's talk about how to withdraw the army now?" ”
