On the city tower, Zhuge Can carefully observed the battle below, and saw that Xu Maogong and the others were about to escape, he was not worried at all, there were tens of thousands of iron horsemen chasing after him, where could he escape, could two legs run faster than four legs?

"Good kill! All right! Calm as Zhuge couldn't help but get excited, looking at the enemy soldiers who fell to the ground one by one in the city, the joy of victory couldn't help but strike.

Five thousand chariots charged against the shield of 10,000 soldiers. Except for the beginning, hundreds of chariots were overturned, and the later chariots rushed over smoothly, and the 10,000 Tang troops were scattered and collapsed.

And this is just the beginning, there are 50,000 iron horsemen roaring behind, and their power cannot be described in words.

Thundered...

The sound of wheels and iron hooves completely drowned the battlefield...

In less than half an hour, 10,000 Tang troops were defeated and fled north.

Wang Qing and Dong Le, with 20,000 iron horsemen and thousands of chariots, pursued closely.

After Lu Yang cleaned up the remnants of the Tang army on the battlefield, he didn't keep up, he ran in the opposite direction quickly. Heading to the southeast and southwest, he has more important tasks to do.

His task was more difficult than anyone else's, and with 30,000 iron horsemen, he had to defeat three armies of no less than 80,000 soldiers in succession.

With 30,000 enemies and 240,000, this is a rare battle, although it is divided into three battles, but it is also incredible!

Lu Yang was also excited, thinking that he would be able to establish a meritorious feat immediately, and the speed under his feet couldn't help but speed up a few points.

On the other side, Cheng Yanjin, Xu Maogong, and the eldest grandson Wuji, etc., rode fast horses, with a small number of cavalry under their command, about seven or eight hundred, and ran towards the camp first. They ran much faster than the other soldiers.

Behind them, there were countless soldiers, as many as 30,000!

But before they ran far, more than 30,000 people were caught up, and more than 4,000 chariots were mercilessly crushed and slaughtered! On each chariot were two soldiers, one with a spear ready for close combat, and the other with a bow and arrow for long-range shooting.

In short, as soon as the chariot approached the fleeing soldiers, the soldiers kept falling to the ground, and the number of deaths increased dramatically.

It wasn't until almost noon that Cheng Yanjin, Xu Maogong, and Changsun Wuji fled back to the camp, but fortunately, the camp was not withdrawn in the morning, otherwise there would be no place to hide.

When the three men entered the camp with their soldiers, they gave orders to go down, and when any of them fled back, they accepted them, and when they saw the enemy soldiers coming, they closed the gate of the barracks.

Standing on the walled tower, the three of them couldn't help but tremble, watching the soldiers who fled back to the camp.

"It's over, it's over... We're done! ”

Cheng Biting Jin shook his head vigorously, with a look of horror on his face.

The eldest grandson Wuji scolded: "This is all to blame on that Cao Yundui, he doesn't even know how many enemy soldiers there are, what news he inquires, he really shouldn't believe him, when he returns to Yangzhou, he must be sent to the Criminal Department!" ”

"This is all for later, we have to find a way to go back to Yangzhou quickly, this place must not be held for a long time!" Xu Maogong thought for a while and said: "There are tens of thousands of iron horsemen in Suzhou, and there are powerful chariots, once we are surrounded and the grain and grass are exhausted, we will definitely die." ”

"But there is no way to retreat now, as soon as we retreat, the enemy will press up!"

Cheng Yanjin's face was full of sadness, and he suddenly looked at Xu Mao and said, "Stinky old man, don't you have a lot of ideas on weekdays, but now you have a way?" ”

"Let's stick to the camp for now, and then I'll talk about it when I think of a way."

After speaking, Xu Maogong left the walled building and entered the camp.

The eldest grandson, Wuji, also left.

Cheng Yanjin stood on the walled tower and waited until the soldiers came back, and then saw the enemy rushing towards him, so he ordered the gate to be closed and the soldiers ready to defend the wall.

However, what he did not expect was that the enemy did not attack at all, but all went to the north.

Cheng Yanjin was taken aback, and said in his heart, could it be that he went to Yangzhou? He hurriedly sent more than a dozen scouts to find out the news, and at the same time told Xu Maogong the news.

That night, at the time of the third watch.

The Tang Army battalion received several bad news one after another.

First, there were 20,000 iron horsemen and thousands of chariots that planted hard disks on the way to Yangzhou, blocking the Tang army's way back to Yangzhou.

Second, the Tang army attacking the southeast village was attacked by the enemy, and the soldiers in the village and Lu Yang's 30,000 iron cavalry attacked inside and outside, and more than 50,000 soldiers who attacked the village were captured and killed on the spot, and then Lu Yang broke through the Tang army camp and defeated nearly 30,000 captured soldiers again.

That is, 80,000 of the soldiers who attacked the enemy's camp on three fronts were defeated!

In the big tent of the Chinese army, everyone gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

Xu Mao said fairly: "For today's plan, there is only evacuation!" We must quickly withdraw all the hundreds of thousands of troops in front, otherwise none of them will survive. ”

"The military advisor doesn't have to worry, I have already sent someone to give an order, stick to the big camp, and don't fight again." Cheng Yanjin said, but he was worried: "I just don't know, it's not too late." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "Most of our army are new soldiers, and the equipment is not as good as the enemy. ”

"Alas, what a failure!"

Xu Maogong walked around the hall, walked to the door from time to time, looked at the sky, and said: "Now, in addition to recalling the hundreds of thousands of troops, we also have to defeat the 20,000 iron cavalry and thousands of chariots that block the road, and open the road to Yangzhou." ”

"It's a pity, it's not raining on this day, if it can rain heavily, it will be great..."

"What do you mean?" Eldest Sun Wuji asked.

Xu Mao said fairly: "If it rains heavily, their chariots will lose their effectiveness, and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, which has the strongest combat effectiveness, will also be greatly reduced, and we will have hope to rush over." ”

"yes." The eldest grandson Wuji also walked to the door, he also knew astrology, but when he looked at it, he said disappointedly: "It seems that it won't rain in half a month." ”

At this time, Cheng Liang walked in from outside the courtyard and entered the lobby.

Cheng Yanjin asked, "Xiaoliang, the number of soldiers can be counted." ”

Cheng Liang replied: "Father, the statistics are out, and... Fifteen thousand soldiers. ”

As he spoke, he handed over the list in his hand.

Cheng Yanjin looked at it and sighed: "Alas, we lost 35,000 people in the first battle, how good is this." There are not many garrisons in Yangzhou, and if we don't get out of danger and return to visit, there will also be danger. ”

Thinking of this, everyone's faces became sad.

This night, no one had the heart to sleep, and stood in the lobby all night.

Fortunately, there was no enemy attack, so the battalion did not need to worry too much.

In the early morning, the golden sun rises from the east and slanted down, shining on the head of Suzhou.

As soon as Zhuge Can got up, he received several messages one after another.

First, Wu Qing and Dong Le have successfully built a village, cutting off the Tang army's way back to Yangzhou.

Second, Lu Yang defeated the Tang army of 80,000 people, and all the prisoners were taken into custody and imprisoned in Suiyang.

Three... Woe, the third is not good news, it is that Aguduo heard that Suzhou was attacked, panicked, and hurriedly returned with an army of 100,000 to help, and it is currently less than 100 miles away from the border of Jiangnan, that is to say, in half a month, Aguduo will come back.

Coming back at such a time, although he could help Zhuge Can, he lost the opportunity to continue attacking Huainan, which made Zhuge Can a little reluctant.

However, after thinking about it carefully, I was relieved, and when Xu Maogong, Cheng Yanjin and others were killed, were you still afraid that Huainan would not be able to attack, it was only a matter of time.
