Chapter 842: Losing Two Cities in a Row

Chen Tai has no reason not to give up, if he continues to fight like this, his men and horses are likely to run out, and this battle can only be described as defeated.

Originally thought that using 10,000 cavalry to deal with the 3,000 people of the Bingzhou army was just a piece of cake, when he arrived at Wulongkou, Chen Tai did not expect to lose the battle at all, but the reality had to make him bow his head, after the enemy army used a strange chariot, Chen Tai could not find any way to crack it at all.

In desperation, he could only retreat temporarily.

Fortunately, the maneuverability of the flat box car formation was relatively poor, otherwise he would have suffered even more heavy losses after being pursued by the enemy with such a remnant of the army.

Chen Tai led the remnants all the way to the east, preparing to return to Wen County, anyway, no matter how powerful the flat box car formation of the state army is, it is only suitable for field battles, he only needs to retreat to the city, do not attack, and the flat box car formation will be of no use.

Although this situation is very passive, but this is also Chen Tai's expedient measure at present, think about the dignified Hanoi Taishou beside him, commanding tens of thousands of troops, but being forced into this appearance by a small group of 3,000 people, what a tragic word.

He led the army out for several miles, until he couldn't see the flat box car, and then he let out a long breath of turbidity, and his mood calmed down a little.

The flat box car has almost become Chen Tai's nightmare, and he has a chilling feeling when he sees it.

Now out of that nightmarish battlefield, Chen Tai's mood can be regarded as slightly lighter.

But at this moment, an army suddenly appeared in front of them, galloping towards them at a rapid pace.

Chen Tai was shocked, although his army was sleepy at the moment, he also had to order to prepare for battle and prepare to meet the enemy.

However, Chen Tai soon found out that it was not the Bingzhou army that came, but his subordinates, but what made Chen Tai wonder was that he had not given an order to transfer troops, why did they act without authorization?

Chen Tai's face suddenly sank, and he ordered the generals of the army to come out to see him, daring to act without permission, they didn't have such a leader as him in their eyes?

After the order was issued, the generals of the army quickly rushed over, but not one of them, but two people, one was Zhang Ren, the guard general of Wen County, and the other was Li Yi, the guard of the wild king.

Originally, last night, the two armies of the state army suddenly attacked Yewang and Wenxian, because the attack of the state army did not have any warning in advance, the army of Yewang and Wenxian was caught off guard, and could not resist the enemy, the two cities fell one after another, and the two defenders had to lead the remnants of the defeated generals, retreat in the direction of Wulongkou, and come to Chen Tai.

Chen Tai was furious, before he left, he repeatedly asked the defenders of Yewang, Wen County and Huai County to strengthen their vigilance and beware of the enemy's sneak attack, but I didn't expect these guys to turn a deaf ear, they just left for a day, and they lost the city, these rice buckets, what use do you want them?

Chen Tai was furious and ordered Chen Ren and Li Yi to be tied up and pushed down to the military court to behead the public.

Zhang Ren and Li Yi are miserable, to be honest, they are not defenseless, but at night, a little lax, the main reason is that the sudden sneak attack of the Bingzhou army caught them off guard, not to mention that Chen Tai's expedition this time was the army of Yewang and Wenxian, the lack of the establishment of the city defense force, so that when they responded to the battle, they were obviously a little powerless, plus the offensive of the Bingzhou army was very fierce, and even used weapons of mass destruction such as catapults, Yewang and Wenxian were lost, Naturally, it makes sense.

The use of catapults in the siege of the city at night is probably something that no one dares to imagine, after all, that thing is not accurate, God knows that it will be smashed there, but the military skills of Bingzhou are bold, and they use catapults to attack in a round, smashing the Sima defenders in a daze, and before they can react, the Bingzhou army has already rushed up and broken through the city.

The offensive of the Bingzhou army was very fierce, Zhang Ren and Li Yi could not resist, if they held the city, the result was likely to be the destruction of the whole army, so in the last resort, they led the remnants to escape from the city, wanting to join Chen Tai and then think about the counterattack.

But Chen Tai has just suffered a defeat at the moment, and there is nowhere to vent his anger in his stomach, Zhang Ren and Li Yi lost the battle and lost the city, how not to make him angry, it is reasonable to order military law to deal with it.

You must know that Chen Tai is a fake festival, and in wartime, he has the power to cut officials below 2,000 stones, Zhang Ren and Li Yi are only two partial generals, and the rank is only 600 stones, and Chen Tai wants to kill them, which is justified.

When Zhang Ren and Li Yi heard that they were going to kill them, they immediately collapsed to the ground in fright, knelt on the ground in unison, and repeatedly kowtowed to Chen Tai to beg for mercy.

Chen Tai was furious at the moment, and naturally he did not forgive them.

At this time, all the generals said in unison that they were exempted, and they all interceded for Zhang Ren and Li Yi, and at this time, the generals expressed extraordinary unity, even those who usually had some grievances with Zhang Ren and Li Yi did not dare to fall into the ground.

After all, it is common to lose a battle, if you lose a battle and your head is cut off, then this time they may be able to rejoice, but next time I am afraid that they will not be so lucky, this time you don't intercede for others, next time I am afraid that there will be no one to intercede for you.

Therefore, these generals were also extraordinarily grouped, and they all asked Chen Tai to pardon Zhang Ren and Li Yi.

Chen Tai did not insist on his own opinion anymore, after all, he had fought the defeat, and if he really wanted to investigate it, he would be unable to escape the blame, so Chen Tai ordered Zhang Ren and Li Yi to be released, and allowed them to make meritorious contributions to their crimes.

Zhang Ren and Li Yi hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him.

At this moment, Chen Tai's heart was a mess, and he waved away Zhang Ren, Li Yi and the generals, and he himself was going to be quiet alone.

originally thought that he had just suffered a defeat in Wulongkou, but he didn't expect Cao Liang to play a big game of chess this time and send Ma Long to fight, but it was just a pretense to secretly send troops to attack Yewang and Wen County, the land of Hanoi, most of it has fallen, only one Huai County remains, there is no news coming, it is likely that it was also attacked by the Bingzhou army, maybe it was just not lost for the time being.

Chen Tai immediately ordered to march to Huai County, if even the county governance Huai County was lost, then even if he, the Hanoi Taishou, might not have the last foothold in Hanoi County.

Now that Yewang and Wenxian are lost, Chen Tai has no strength to counterattack, and all his hopes can only be pinned on Huaixian.
