Chapter 139: First Slow

In the camp of the Northern Expedition Middle Route Army on the outskirts of Qin County, Wu Mingche, the governor of the Northern Expedition, received Cheng Wenji's good news, and couldn't help but be overjoyed: "It seems that Shilang's trick to encircle the point to send reinforcements has really worked, and the cavalry and infantry teams of the forward battalion can actually wipe out half of the three thousand elite cavalry of the Qi army!" Shiro's infantry battalion alone directly killed the three hundred heavily armored cavalry under the Qi army's power on the spot! Moreover, the forward battalion also captured more than 500 high-grade war horses, which is indeed a rare victory! However, the fly in the ointment is to let the eldest grandson Hongluo, a big fish, break through and escape! ”

"These 3,000 elite cavalry, even if I lead all the soldiers of the cavalry battalion to meet them, they may not be able to wipe out half of their troops! I was worried that General Cheng would not be able to deal with this cavalry that day, but I was looking at General Cheng! Xiao is really ashamed, he will definitely make amends to General Cheng one day! Xiao Moke laughed to himself.

"Haha, General Xiao is modest, don't you see that the names of your two sons are on this good news? Shiro killed the opponent's heavy armored cavalry, which is equivalent to getting rid of the tiger's claws, and Shilian followed General Cheng to flank the enemy is to knock out the tiger's fangs, and the two sons of your family have made contributions to this blocking battle, and General Cheng also praised them with praise and praise, and now you are actually laughing in your heart! General Zhou Luo said with a smile.

"It's terrifying! At the beginning, I was going to attack Qin County, but now I think about it, I'm really embarrassed! I didn't expect that Captain Xiao's trick of encircling the point and sending reinforcements could attract the 3,000 elite cavalry of the Qi army, and half of them were wiped out by us! You must know that the cavalry of this Qi country is all elite with one enemy and ten, and their cavalry troops must be greatly injured at this time! In the future, if we encounter a Qi army without cavalry, it will be much easier to fight! Ren Manu, who advocated the siege of the city, also admired.

"Shiro not only made a great contribution in the battle to cross the river, but also made a great contribution in the battle to block their reinforcements! At a young age, he can have such an outstanding performance on the battlefield for the first time, haha, it seems that it was the right thing to bring him into the army in the first place! He is really our Da Chen's lucky star! Come! Immediately report this victory to Jinling, and let the emperor reward him for his meritorious deeds! General Xiao's two sons have made meritorious contributions, and this time your Xiao family will be in the limelight! Wu Mingche laughed.

"Haha, Wu Dudu has won the award, loyalty to the country is our military duty, and it is never too late to win the battle after rewarding meritorious deeds! And the words of praise must not be heard by those two stinks, otherwise they will be proud! Especially Shiro, this son can't be praised, maybe he will cause you some trouble again! And this is only the first battle, and there are many challenges waiting for them in the future! Xiao Moke said modestly.

"Shiro is just young and vigorous now, and it is understandable that he is impulsive, I believe that he will not be after he matures, but his military talent is indeed outstanding, and he will definitely be the pillar of my Dachen in the future! In the future, we will give him more opportunities to perform, so that his wisdom can be more fully displayed! Wu Mingche said with a smile.

"Dudu, now that the forward battalion has severely damaged the opponent's cavalry, will they retract back to Xuyi and dare not fight? Then will our side continue to besiege Qin County without attacking? Ren Mannu asked.

"This cavalry is only the vanguard of reinforcements, and their main force has not yet been dispatched! But now Xuyi's side should also have some scruples about our tactics of encircling and sending reinforcements! If they don't dare to fight, then we will launch a few more fierce sieges against Qin County, and then pretend that the siege is almost successful, give them a little pressure, and let the people of Qin County help us urge Xuyi's reinforcements to go south! Wu Mingche stroked his beard and smiled.

。。。。。。

In Xuyi City, the eldest grandson Hongluo had fled back to the city with 1,500 remnants, his face was covered with blood, and even a few traces of minced meat, and he didn't have time to clean up the dirt, and he was unwillingly pleading guilty to Wei Pohu: "The last general is incompetent, and the three thousand elites were suddenly ambushed by the Chen army, and they fought hard to get out of the encirclement, but they also lost half of the men!" Please the deputy marshal military law to deal with it! ”

"Of the three thousand elite cavalry, only half is left, and the three hundred heavy armored cavalry are almost completely wiped out! Was it the main force of the Chen army that ambushed you? If there are not tens of thousands of troops, just those infantry of the Chen army, can they inflict heavy losses on our 3,000 elite cavalry? Yu Pohu said angrily.

"Deputy Marshal, Chen Jun is using a mysterious weapon! This weapon is so powerful that our three hundred heavily armored cavalry were completely annihilated by them in a matter of moments, and we pity these brothers who were born and died with us, all of them died miserably, and there was not a single corpse! Moreover, Chen Jun's soldiers also used an iron rod that emitted white smoke, which could kill people in the air! Both of my cavalry captains were knocked down from their horses by these iron poles, and then they were rushed up by their infantry, slashed to the ground, and robbed of their horses! Eldest Sun Hong said sadly.

"What kind of weapon is it? So powerful that it can kill people in an instant? And those air kills, are they hidden weapons? Could it be that they are really like the previous riverside garrison, able to use spells and summon immortals to help? Yu Pohu wondered.

"These are certainly not spells! They used a kind of red light that spewed out of an iron pillar! This red light is so fast that even the eyes can't see what it is! I only saw soldiers and horses being smashed to pieces! As for those smoking iron pillars, they can make a finger-sized bloody hole in a person's body, as if someone has stabbed a sword, and the bleeding will not stop! Eldest Sun Hongluo recalled carefully.

"If Chen Jun has these powerful weapons, then how should we deal with them? A few hundred people stopped our 3,000 elite cavalry in the middle of the road, so our infantry could not even think of rushing through! Qin Jun is waiting for us to come to the rescue! Wei Pohu was also full of anxiety.

"Although the Chen army has these mysterious weapons, I don't think they have many of them, there are only dozens of iron pillars that can emit red light, and those soldiers with iron rods are only about a hundred, and these weapons should not be convenient to move, otherwise when we break out of the encirclement, why don't they pursue us!" Eldest Sun Hongluo observed very carefully, because these were all information that was exchanged for his life.

"Alas, I didn't expect that the Chen army came prepared for this attack, and now that our cavalry has suffered heavy losses, it is estimated that the operation to rescue Qin County in the south will be slowed down for a while, and after the cavalry recovers and thinks of countermeasures to deal with these mysterious weapons, make another plan! I hope the defenders of Qin County can withstand it! Yu Pohu said helplessly.

"Qin County should be able to hold it, Chen Jun is now hoping that we can rush to the rescue of Qin County, so that their ambush soldiers can ambush us halfway! So it's safe to come to Qinjun for now! The eldest grandson Hongluo also saw that this was Chen Jun's strategy to encircle and send reinforcements.

"That's all there is to do now! I hope Liyang can bring us good news! You've worked hard too, go back and get some rest! Yu Pohu comforted.

"The lieutenant marshal will not hold me accountable for dereliction of duty?" Eldest Sun Hong asked a little nervously.

"Alas, we didn't know that Chen Jun would use these mysterious weapons to be hit so badly, and we can't blame you for this. But I'll remember your sins first, and next time you'll fight to the death for me and make up for your mistakes! Yu Pohu said fiercely.

"Vice Marshal Xie's grace not to kill! The last general will always remember the kindness of the deputy marshal, even if he is ruined, he will not be able to repay it! The eldest grandson Hong was slightly excited, and thanked him.
