Fall back!

Although these two words were difficult to say, Guan Yu had to give this order, looking at the 20,000 cavalry in front of the moving city wall of the gunpowder army, like sheep being expelled, this order instantly popped out of his mouth.

The cavalry on the front were the first to receive the order, so after losing some of their men, most of them fled, but the men and horses on both flanks were not so lucky, even though they braved the artillery fire to rush to the foot of the city wall and set up the siege ladder, but under the baptism of a large amount of burning gasoline, they were instantly crushed.

Guan Yu was also at this time, found that he wanted to capture this temporary city, it was wishful thinking, originally thought that the city wall built so quickly would not be so strong, but obviously after this contact, he was wrong, those tall city walls stood still, but his soldiers lost most of them, and any general could only give the order to retreat at this time.

When the group of cavalry began to retreat, the artillery that had been silent for a while once again roared, completely blocking the enemy's retreat, and Guan Yu's cavalry could only brave the explosion of the cannonballs to complete the retreat.

Guan Yu looked at the form on the battlefield from a distance, his brows furrowed tightly, and he sighed deeply for a long time, he now knew very well that with Yizhou's strength, he couldn't face this devil-like army made by Yuan Yun at all.

And once the battle here fails, only the fortifications on the periphery of Chengdu will remain, as for whether those fortifications can block the attack of the Gunpowder Army, even if Guan Yu doesn't say it now, he knows very well in his heart that those strong defense lines can only slow down the invasion of the Gunpowder Army at most, and sooner or later Chengdu will be completely captured.

"The soldiers on the mountainside also began to retreat, and we followed the direction we came, without taking a long detour, and went straight back to Chengdu." After watching his subordinates gradually return to the brigade, Guan Yu gave another order.

At this time, Zhou Cang next to him immediately suggested: "Master, we can still suppress the enemy last night, but today we only lost one game, why give up like this?" ”

Guan Yu looked at the entourage who had followed him for many years, and even had some sadness in his heart, but as the main general, he would not show anything, so he could only order again: "If I say retreat, retreat, don't say more." ”

Seeing that Guan Yu insisted, Zhou Cang naturally didn't dare to say anything, and immediately went to the mountainside behind with the order, and when he passed by Guan Ping's side, he could only sigh fiercely, he really didn't understand why he still had so many people on his side, and he was about to start retreating.

What Zhou Cang didn't understand, Guan Ping knew very well, when he was in Xingye before, he had attacked Longzhong with Guan Yu, that painful lesson, even today is still vivid, the gunpowder army is much stronger than then, if you don't retreat now, once you wait until the enemy's mobile city is close, it will be immediately covered by those artillery, and the consequences are very clear without thinking.

After thinking about this, Guan Ping sighed secretly, then pulled the horse's head and leaned towards his father-in-law Guan Yu, and only when he came to him did he clench his fists and said: "Father-in-law, there is only General Meng Da on the side of Mianzhu Pass, after all, there is something wrong, it is better for us to return earlier, I believe that those fortifications on the periphery of Chengdu will definitely be able to block these gunpowder troops." ”

Guan Yu's frowns still didn't change, and when he heard Yizi Guan Ping say this, he could only shake his head and said: "In addition to Meng Da and Ma Liang and Ma Jian brothers, there should be no problem with the defense over there, and now it can be seen that the main force of the Luoyang Gunpowder Army is here, and the Mianzhu Pass side is just a means to hold us back." ”

Guan Ping heard Guan Yu say this, and was silent for a moment before finally nodding and saying: "In this case, we can indeed only return to Chengdu, but the cavalry brothers in the team can allocate some people to Mianzhu Pass, in the fortifications on the outskirts of Chengdu, they can't play much role." ”

Guan Yu heard Guan Ping say this, and he only felt very comforted in his heart, the young man in front of him has followed him for many years, and now he has the style of a general, and his judgments are very correct, but it's a pity, it's a pity that he has to face a monster like the Gunpowder Army, if it is a normal army, I believe that this righteous son of his will definitely be able to shine.

It's a pity, it's a pity!

Guan Yu finished muttering in his heart, then pulled the horse's head, and then began to gallop towards the rear with a shout, this is not the time to make a difficulty, it is better to withdraw those soldiers hidden in the middle of the mountain earlier, otherwise once the city of the gunpowder army arrives, it will inevitably be another life.

……

"Guan Yu seems to be retreating." When Yuan Yun put down the binoculars, he said casually.

Zhuge Liang also put down the telescope in his hand at this time, and then said with a smile: "Then we will chase it, as long as we pass this mountain forest, the road to Chengdu will be a rare flat land, and our tanks that have not been used for a long time can finally come in handy."

Although the speed of these tanks is not as fast as that of horses, it is better to chase each other day and night without resting, and I believe that after two or three days, the other party will not be able to stay up, and then we will bite their tails to chase and kill, so that all the way to Chengdu, it is difficult for the other party to organize a sneak attack, and our army will be safer. ”

After listening to Zhuge Liang, Yuan Yun turned his head slightly to look at the tanks under the moving city wall, which were spewing out billowing black smoke at the moment, and the roar of the engine made people feel very excited.

"Ordered the craftsmen to start inspecting our tanks, and after passing through this mountain forest, let the tanks form a battle group to pursue the enemy army." After Yuan Yun gave the order, several heralds immediately rushed to the city wall.

This order is definitely a very happy order for those tankmen, after all, after coming out of Wancheng, the work of the tank battalion has changed from combat to logistics transportation, and I don't know how long it has been like this, everyone is holding their stomachs, especially after seeing that the infantry who were aggrieved before can also snatch huge military achievements, these tankmen are even more untasteful.

Well, now that the commander is finally going to send their tank battalion out to pursue the enemy, this order is naturally the greatest joy, and those heralds have already laughed in their hearts, this time when they see those short tankmen, they can finally give orders with their chests high, unlike in the past, every time they are given to transport baggage, they will always be sneered.

Guan Yu's troops retreated very quickly, and when the moving wall of the Gunpowder Army was still approaching the foot of the mountain, they walked away, and set a fire in the mountain, hoping to block the pursuit of the Gunpowder Army.

And Yuan Yun didn't think about catching up so quickly, if those tanks were not carefully inspected and repaired, he would definitely not let them out, so from this afternoon on, the gunpowder army camped and rested in the mobile city wall, and the only ones who were still desperately busy were those craftsmen and tankers who were so excited that they couldn't sleep.

On the morning of the second day, the fire in the mountains was extinguished, and the gunpowder army set out again, and the hot air balloon floated out for ten miles, and in daylight conditions, any enemy who tried to ambush could not hide, so that the army was much faster in its advance.

It was not until noon on the second day that the Gunpowder Army finally crossed the mountain range, and then all found that the world before them was instantly open, and a straight flat land stretched almost all the way to the end of the horizon.

It was also at this time that the tankers, who had been suppressed for a long time, set off as if they were in a hurry to rob, and hundreds of tanks were billowing smoke, making a huge roar, and rushing towards the other side of the horizon in black pressure.

On the two wings of these tanks, there are Hu cavalry led by Zhao Yun, and the cavalry and the tank formation are fighting, which has been in Luoyang Wancheng a long time ago, so that the coordinated operation is also more safe and reliable.

Seeing that Zhao Yun and a large number of tanks drove to the front, Yuan Yun and Zhuge Liang were still sitting in the camp, and they chose to camp at noon on this day, because the supplies escorted by Xu Yi were also coming at this time, and Yuan Yun did not plan to take a step forward before replenishing ammunition and food.

Now, as Zhuge Liang said, there is a huge risk after all, and what the gunpowder army needs now is safety, and only in this way is the safest way to do it.

Yuan Yun, who was sitting outside the camp tent drinking tea, finally waved away the tension when he was attacked before, and at this moment he naturally had a very prostrated feeling, so setting up camp early was also a kind of recovery, not only for him Yuan Yun alone, but also for all the brothers who had fought fiercely before.

And what makes people more admirable is those Hu Qi, those people seem to be born accustomed to fighting, after a battle, immediately with the tank army set off, they don't even have any discomfort, some people when they set off, they will talk and laugh on horseback.

"There is news from Shiyuan's side, Cai Mao is heroic this time, and he went up the river, burying all Liu Bei's participating sailors at the bottom of the river along the way, and even stationed in Wuyang earlier than Shiyuan's troops." When Zhuge Liang spoke, he had already handed over a flying pigeon to Yuan Yun.

After Yuan Yun glanced at it, he smiled and said, "Why wasn't Kong Ming surprised this time?" In the past, you used to ask all sorts of questions. ”

Zhuge Liang frowned, then shook his head again, and then sighed: "There are always some magical things in the lord, this time Shiyuan led the army to crusade against Wuyang alone, everyone thought that the county guard of Wuyang County would only be beaten passively, and he didn't think that the other party would dare to take the initiative, if it wasn't for the lord's strict order that Shiyuan could only take the car, I am afraid that that sneak attack would kill him, Yizhou actually has such a powerful person as the Condor Archer, no one can guess it, it is really dangerous and dangerous." ”

Yuan Yun looked at Zhuge Liang with interest After speaking, he continued with a wicked face: "Such a thing as an unknown prophet is actually nonsense, I am just very cautious, so I will strictly order Shiyuan to only ride in a car, not a horse, is this explanation Brother Kong Ming satisfied?" ”

Zhuge Liang smiled bitterly again and shook his head, Yuan Yun's explanation had no other way than to believe it, could it really be said that he was an immortal, but this explanation was definitely prevarication, because even if Yuan Yun was cautious, he would not order Pang Shiyuan so accurately to only take the car, and as a result, he really escaped the other party's shooting.

However, these doubts happened to Yuan Yun, and now it seems that there is nothing magical, after all, it has happened countless times, and now everyone regards it as normal.

"Wuyang has been taken, and the one guarding there is Liu Bei's righteous son Liu Feng, who has been captured by Shiyuan at the moment, and this time he sent a letter and is still asking, what should this Liu Feng do?"

Yuan Yun didn't even think about it, and replied directly: "Chop, and then let the captives be sent to Liu Bei in Chengdu, I want him to slowly discover from this moment that the people around him are disappearing one by one, until it is finally his turn." ”
