"Report! Lord, there was a huge shouting of killing in the direction of the estuary in the northeast, and the fire was blazing in the direction of the river port, I am afraid that there is a big war happening! ”

In Dongchan City, because of the fierce fighting for several days, the exhausted Liu Bei had just laid down to rest, and a guard hurriedly came to his room to report.

"Oh? Gather Yun Chang, Yide, and Uncle to the city! ”

Hearing that Liu Bei's sleepiness was completely gone, he stood up and walked out with his clothes on.

When Liu Bei came to the city, from a distance, the firelight in the direction of the upper estuary in the northeast had already risen into the sky, rendering the entire sky, and there was a faint sound of fighting in the air.

"Big brother, great, it must be the sailor of Huaguo!"

In a burst of hurried footsteps, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Chen Zhi joined hands to come behind Liu Bei, looking at the firelight rising into the sky, Guan Yu, who has always been calm on weekdays, couldn't help but show joy on his face, brushed his long beard and said excitedly.

"Second brother is right, as long as the sailors of the Qin State are killed, the military funds of the Hua State will soon arrive in the city, and we will fuck him hard at that time!"

Zhang Fei grinned on his dark face, waved the fist in his hand, and said with a mouthful of white teeth that stood out in the firelight.

However, the two brothers Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who were in high spirits, did not see that the face of their brother Liu Bei in front of them was not good-looking, their brows were tightly locked, and their faces were sinking like water.

From this shot by the Huaguo sailors, Liu Bei has understood that the honeymoon period of the two parties has ended, and only when one party falls or truly surrenders, can their relationship ease again.

I am afraid that the arrival of military funds mentioned by Zhang Fei will never arrive again.

Because both of them understood that once their common rival, the Qin army, fell, the two sides would also change from allies to rivals, and it was impossible for Hua to do such a stupid thing as cultivating an opponent for himself.

Thinking of the current power contrast between Shu Han and Hua, Liu Bei's heart couldn't help but feel gloomy.

For this, in fact, he had already expected it, but in the protracted war between them and the Qin State, the two sides had already fought a real fire, and with the iron-blooded style of the Qin army, it was impossible to accept their surrender, and if he really wanted to choose a force to take refuge in, he would rather choose Huaguo.

After all, the two sides have not yet had a direct conflict, and life will be much better after the operation.

Outside the Qin army camp outside Dongchan City, the general Wang Jian stood outside the camp surrounded by dozens of Qin army generals, looking at the sky-high flames in the northeast with an expressionless face.

Judging from his figure, Wang Ben's death hit him hard, his body was much thinner, and he had a lot of gray hair overnight, and he looked a lot older.

"General, I'm afraid that General Tu Ju's sailor is being attacked by the Huaguo sailor, do we want to go to support?"

The atmosphere at the scene was solemn, and the breath coming from Wang Jian made all the Qin army soldiers feel a depression in their chests, and one of the Qin army generals hesitated for a while and finally couldn't help but cautiously admonish.

For all the Qin generals present, they did not think that the newly formed naval division under Tu Ju would be the opponent of the Huaguo naval division that had been crisscrossing the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River for many years.

"Shanghekou is nearly 20 miles away from here, and we are too late to get there now, and without the help of catapults, crossbows and other large equipment, we simply cannot pose a threat to the sailors of Huaguo."

Behind Wang Qian, another general shook his head when he heard this, and spoke out in disagreement.

"But we can't just watch and do nothing, can we?"

Hearing this, the general who spoke out couldn't help but retort.

"Pass the order, and the whole army will be assembled in its own way"

Wang Jian raised his hand to stop the quarrel between the two, and ordered in a condensed voice.

"General, why don't you let your subordinates lead the light cavalry of the headquarters to carry crossbow arrows first"

Wang Qian's order made all the Qin generals think that he was going to lead troops to support, and one of the generals under his command who led the cavalry took the initiative to ask for help.

"No need, your department still has a heavy task, and when the army withdraws, all the light cavalry will have to stay behind," Wang Jian waved his hand and refused.

"What? Evacuate? ”

"Evacuate?"

Wang Qian's words caused a burst of exclamations among the generals of the Qin army, and they all looked at him in disbelief.

Although the Qin army suffered heavy casualties due to the successive bitter battles, the Qin army gathered under Dongchan City still had 240,000 Qin troops, and in Meizhou in the south, there were 200,000 newly recruited troops under Wang Qian's command to rely on.

"For the generals, for the sake of victory and defeat, we must have a long-term vision, and we cannot limit our eyes to the gains and losses of one city and one place.

The 400,000 grassland cavalry of the Huaguo army went north, and all the enemies who were blocked had been basically wiped out, and the 80,000 Xianbei cavalry alone forced him to retreat hundreds of miles, giving up half of Meizhou, once Huaguo completed the integration of Le and Gongzhou, do you think that with the rabble in Wang Gan's hands, it can withstand the more than 400,000 Huaguo tiger and wolf divisions?

The Huaguo naval division raided the mouth of the river in order to eliminate our last stronghold on the Qiongjiang River, without the threat on the river, a steady stream of Huaguo troops can be transported from the Qiongjiang River to our rear at any time, if we are fighting with hundreds of thousands of Huaguo troops, the opponent's elite cavalry suddenly kills from behind, can you have the confidence to resist?

At present, the overall situation of Sichuan and Shu has been decided, and I will bear the consequences. But if these 200,000 troops are lost again, not only will the five states of An, Mei, De, Jian, and Sui not be protected, but I am afraid that the three states of Yuan, Yang, and Ba will also be overwhelmed, and without the dangerous land of the three states in hand, my Great Qin can only fall into a passive defensive situation in the future battle with Hua, and I will not joke with the lives of the officers and soldiers in the army, nor will I bet on the operation of my Great Qin."

Silently glancing at the surrounding generals of the Qin army who did not dare, Wang Jian took a deep breath before slowly speaking.

"General!"

Many Qin army generals choked up in a low voice when they heard this.

The Qin army used more than 800,000 troops to conquer Shu for three years, and 500,000 troops fought for half a year, and at the cost of 300,000 people, many people felt sad in their hearts, and they didn't know how they were defeated, and the situation had reached such a point.

This is the first time that the Qin army has suffered such a crushing defeat in this world.

"The Qin army has withdrawn!"

"The Qin army has finally withdrawn!"

At the head of Dongchan City, when the Shu Han soldiers on the city tower saw the scene of the whole army slowly retreating, the soldiers who survived the catastrophe couldn't help but cry with joy, hugged their heads and cried.

"Withdrawn!"

Looking at the situation downstairs in the city, Liu Bei, who had always been calm, couldn't help but show a complicated expression of both joy and loss on his face.

At night, at the mouth of the river, after two hours of fierce fighting, most of the 30,000 Qin army sailors have been cleaned up, the river surface is dyed with a layer of faint red, and the wreckage of the sinking of the Qin warships is everywhere, and the tragic situation after the death of the soldiers is everywhere in sight.

"Report! General, the Qin army outside Dongchan City has already retreated! ”

When Yu Dayou, the commander of the Northern Battalion of the Naval Division, stepped into the port, a scout quickly came to his side and reported.

"Wang Qian! Sure enough, he is worthy of being a famous general who helped Qin Shi Huang unify the six countries! ”

Hearing this, Yu Dayou turned his head and muttered in the direction of Dongchan City.
