Chapter 362: Retreat

Ye Chen and the others came to the position of the third line of defense, the third line of defense was five miles away from the second line of defense, the scale here was about the same as the second line of defense, but Ye Chen added some more things.

When Kirby was able to reach the third line of defense, he really almost vomited blood, and the first two lines of defense made him suffer a big loss, but he finally passed the two lines of defense, and there was a third line behind, and I don't know how many after the third line.

This can't be blamed on Kirby Neng, who despised Ye Chen before, so he didn't go to collect intelligence.

It turned out that Kirby wanted to win for a while, and then retreated first, and waited for the Huns to break through and see the situation, but now the situation is deadlocked, and he can't advance or retreat.

"Drive the sheep and cattle up." In the third line of defense, Kirby was able to keep a dark face, and the situation made him choose to continue the attack.

Cattle and sheep fell victim again, and they were driven up, not knowing what fate would be in the end.

In fact, Kirby can still choose to make a detour, but it will take a very long detour, at least two days, but in doing so, it is equivalent to admitting that he lost to the Han army here, and if he wins a big victory later, he can also offset the defeat here.

But Kirby knows better than anyone that he will attack after a detour, and by then the Han people have already entered the city, and what they want to fight is the city of the Han people.

There is no way to take them in the field, and Kirby can imagine the siege war, how much sacrifice it will take to win.

This Han army is different from the Han army of the ordinary Han army, and the other Han armies are estimated to be able to sweep with tens of thousands of people, but now it can't be done, not to mention sweeping, it is so difficult to win for a while now.

The herds of cattle and sheep were driven up again, driven by the Xianbei people, and hit the barbed wire, and the cattle and sheep in front of them were injured all over their bodies, but they could not retreat by the cattle and sheep in the rear, so they could only continue to move forward.

Suddenly, without hitting three obstacles, many cattle and sheep in front fell to the ground, and then were trampled by the cattle and sheep behind, and then the cattle and sheep in front fell again.

"It's a pit, quick, quick, stop, stop." Kirby screamed in horror.

Fortunately, if it was cattle and sheep, if it was horses, if it was soldiers, the losses would be miserable.

It stands to reason that the trap will only be lethal to animals moving at high speed, but in order to let the cattle and sheep break the formation and not let the cattle and sheep in front have a chance to turn back, the Xianbei people made the cattle and sheep very dense.

The cattle and sheep in front stepped on the trap pit, and before they could pull it up, the cattle and sheep in the rear collided with it, so that the front one was knocked down, and the foot that fell into the trap was broken.

Of course, the Xianbei people are very aware of the trapping pit, and they know it when they see the cattle and sheep in front of them suddenly fall in large numbers.

Although they have a large number of cattle and sheep, which can allow them to break the formation, but the cost is too great for them to bear, this position is broken, what if there are still a few lines of defense behind them?

Even if there is no now, the Han people can build it, and how many cattle and sheep can they consume like this.

There are indeed three lines of defense behind it, but this position cannot be endless, because it can only be set up on the road that must be passed, and the terrain requirements are relatively high.

In the future, they could be set up anywhere, because they had muskets, and they only had to dig a few trenches and put barbed wire, but now they can't do it on this plane, because their attack method is bows and arrows.

Kirby Neng still chose to stop, although he really wanted to win Ye Chen for a while, but the price to pay was too high for him to bear.

Ye Chen, who was standing on the hillside, smiled, there was no trap in the front two lines of defense, this was all deliberate by Ye Chen, in order to trap them, if the hole cards were taken out at the beginning, then there would be no such effect, and it could give them an illusion that there were more traps waiting for them in the back line of defense.

In fact, there are really other traps behind, Ye Chen also dug a few trenches on the defensive line, although the trenches are not deep, but within the range of Ye Chen's bow and arrows, if they want to pass, they must pay a relatively large price.

When King Qiao saw Ye Chen's smile, he suddenly fell into an ice cave, this pit man's ability is really powerful, and he warned himself that he must be careful and careful, otherwise he will also be pitted by him, and he will have nothing at that time.

In fact, what King Qiao didn't know was that Ye Chen had been planning to trap them since a few years ago.

"Withdraw." It took a long time for Kirby to hold back a word, he was very angry, but he didn't lose his mind.

Xianbei temporarily retreated, and Ye Chen and the others left some people to guard it, and they also temporarily withdrew to the rear.

"Big brother, Yun Chang, and Zheng Bai, now that we have successfully delayed Xianbei for a few days, the people can be safely transferred to Shenyang City, and when they arrive in Shenyang City, everything is fine."

When he arrived at his big tent, Ye Chen summoned a few people to discuss the matter.

"Lord, according to the distance, the Xianbei people are indeed unable to catch up." Zheng Bai nodded and said.

"Second brother, do you have any plans?"

"I'm worried about the battle situation on Zilong and Fengxiao's side, there is no danger over there for the time being, but the enemy is still too strong, we must return as soon as possible."

Several people nodded thoughtfully, agreeing with Ye Chen's point of view.

"Lord, you want us to go back to Wangping City now." Guan Yu asked.

"That's right, now Xianbei is not so fast to break through here, there is no point for us to spend time with them here, the purpose of this trip is to cover the people of Gaoxian County to go south, and now that it has been done, then we can also retreat."

Ye Chen said that several people understood, but the Xianbei army was still there, although his goal had been achieved, but the strong enemy was still behind.

"Lord Taishou, but Xianbei is still here, it is always a hidden danger, we can't ignore it." Xianbei is powerful, Zheng Bai knows, if they are allowed to enter the hinterland of Liaodong, then the consequences will be very serious.

"Don't worry, if they go south, we will block them in Shenyang City, Shenyang City is not something they can attack if they want to."

"Second brother, do you want to shorten the front line and lead Xianbei to Shenyang City?" Tai Shi Ci asked.

"Well, I plan to let Yun Chang and Zheng Bai go south with the infantry first, I will hold Xianbei here for two days, and then give up here and go south together, Shenyang City will mainly leave a part of the troops to defend, and then we can free up some troops to deal with the Xiongnu."

Nearly 20,000 troops were gathered here, some of them were brought by Ye Chen, and some of them were from Gaoxian County.

"Good. My lord, I'll pack up and set off as soon as possible. "Guan Yu knew that Ye Chen's strategy was normal, and shortening the battle line and concentrating troops was very beneficial to the war.

"Let Wuhuan leave two thousand troops behind, and the others will go south with you." Ye Chen said with a smile.

A few people knew what he had when they saw Ye Chen's smile, and King Qiao and the others were anxious to go south to see how their tribe was doing, but they didn't dare to leave if they wanted to block Xianbei.

Ye Chen asked them to leave two thousand people, in order to divide their soldiers, these troops were taken by Ye Chen, of course, they were going to participate in the battle, although Ye Chen would not deliberately bury them, but there would always be dead people in battle.

King Qiao received the news, he was also anxious to go south, the army is important, the population is also important, although he is afraid that Ye Chen will take away their soldiers, but if Ye Chen scatters these more than 60,000 tribes all over Liaodong, then they will lose their foundation, without the tribes of these tribes, what is the use of them having thousands of soldiers.

In the end, King Qiao had no choice but to leave two thousand people for Ye Chen, but he chose a henchman and asked the henchmen not to let Ye Chen deliberately bury their army.

Ye Chen didn't have this idea either, the two thousand Wuhuan cavalry had very strong combat power, so they had to make good use of it.
