Chapter 486: The Compromise of the Xuanwu Army's Envoy!
I'm afraid that the two balls killed no less than 100 people just now. In addition to the injured, I am afraid that two or three hundred people have lost their combat effectiveness because of this, and it makes people's hearts tremble when they think about it.
However, the biggest headache for these archers was the sudden explosion just now, which completely confused their retreating formation. An army of several thousand men, after the chaos, the pace of retreat became very slow.
And the generals in the army, after seeing this scene, immediately shouted angrily that they wanted these archers to return to their previous formation. Unfortunately, many of the soldiers are now like frightened birds, and they don't even pay attention to their general's orders.
Soon, the cavalry that followed Lu Chen in the rear had already caught up. Jiandong's own troops had already rushed over, and Lu Chen immediately ordered them to bite these archers, and they couldn't let them escape again no matter what.
In fact, the moment these cavalry caught up, the end was already doomed. After all, these thousands of archers are very weak in melee combat. Coupled with the fact that they were affected by those two bombs before, it can be said that they have no fighting spirit now.
The disparity in strength between the two sides made a one-sided battle situation as soon as the two sides came into contact. Lu Chen rushed to the front, like a sharp blade, forcibly tearing a hole between these thousands of enemy troops.
Seeing the approaching Lu Chen in the rear, the enemy general gritted his teeth, and finally ordered all the archers to disperse and flee to the inner camp to join the Xuanwu army. After giving the order, the general immediately led a part of the people to flee into the distance, ignoring the soldiers here. Because he knew very well in his heart that the gap between the two sides was too big, even if he stayed, he would only leave one more corpse in the end, and it was impossible to change the situation of the battle.
In this way, Lu Chen led these cavalry to chase and kill for a long distance. It wasn't until the enemy army appeared again in front of him that Lu Chen gave the order to stop the pursuit. After a period of pursuit, they killed at least 4,000 troops of the other side.
As for the small number of enemy soldiers who fled, Lu Chen was not worried at all, because there were only more than a thousand people left, and they could not have much impact on the battle situation.
In the inner camp of the Xuanwu Army's envoy, I saw the general who had fled just now, and he was reporting with his head down at this time.
The Xuanwu Army Jiedu envoy and several other generals opposite him became more and more gloomy after hearing his report.
Most of the archers of the Xuanwu Army's Jiedu envoys were under the hands of this general. Now that they have been so badly damaged, with only a thousand archers who have fled, it is difficult to pose much of a threat to the enemy army, which makes them almost lose the ability to fight from a distance.
After listening to this general's report, the Xuanwu Army Jie Du Envoy pondered for a long time, and finally spoke up, "According to General Yan, I am afraid that our victory rate this time is not big. Forget it, let's send someone to talk to each other. As for Chenzhou and Yingzhou City, I will give it to them" After speaking, the Xuanwu Army made the whole person seem to be more than ten years old, standing in place and sighing constantly.
At first, after hearing that someone had occupied several cities under his command in the name of this court. He thought that the other party did not have much strength, and he was able to occupy his cities, but also by virtue of the prestige of the imperial court.
But later, the spies went back to report to him that the other party actually had an army of 30,000 or 40,000. This made him completely unable to sit still, if he allowed the other party to continue to occupy it, I am afraid that it would not be long before all his territory was captured by the other party.
Therefore, as a last resort, he led a large army to occupy all the cities. I never thought it would evolve into the current situation.
At the same time, Lu Chen, who was outside the inner camp, was quietly waiting for Lin Lao and the others in the rear. It can be seen that the defensive measures of this inner camp are much stronger than the previous large battalion. Lu Chen guessed that the reason why those archers were sent out to stop their invasion before should be to buy time for the establishment of the inner camp defense line. It's just that they didn't expect that those archers not only failed to stop Lu Chen's pace, but even those archers got in.
It didn't take long for Lin Lao to lead a large army to arrive here. A total of 20,000 troops quickly surrounded this small inner camp as soon as they came.
After a cursory observation, Lin Lao came to Lu Chen's side, and said with a slightly solemn face, "It seems that this inner camp has been strengthened by the other party." It's not very easy for us to get in."
After hearing Lin Lao's words, Lu Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry, although according to normal means, we must withstand the opponent's attack and forcibly enter the city, but it is not easy. But don't forget, we have the bomb as a hole card. As I have just observed, their inner camp defense line is only made of civil engineering, and the bombs are completely capable of exploding."
When it came to the bomb, Lin Lao also said with emotion on his face, "This kind of hole card of the general is only seen in his life." In fact, as long as the general can provide this thing continuously, even if it is the whole world, we are not impossible to plot! In the end, Lin Lao's eyes suddenly emitted a dazzling light.
After hearing Lin Lao's words, Lu Chen suddenly glanced at Lin Lao in some surprise, with a hint of surprise in his tone, and said, "Strategist, why have you always had such a strong aggression**?" "Before, this Lin Lao was very aggressive. Otherwise, he would not have been able to assist Tianda in invading Datang. However, according to Lu Chen's relationship with Lin Lao these days, it was found that he was not a very belligerent person.
Hearing Lu Chen's inquiry, Lin Lao shook his head, but a trace of pain flashed in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "I have a blood feud with an important minister of the Tang Dynasty!" After saying this, Lin Lao didn't say anything more. However, from his painful face, Lu Chen could see that Lin Lao was obviously reluctant to mention those past events.
Then Lin Lao waved his hand and said, "It's been a long time, let's plan how to capture this inner camp in front of us."
"It's simple, and later, I'll lead some of my men and horses to rush forward and blast their defenses with bombs. And the military division only needs to command the archers to cover us in the rear, and now that they have no archers, they will only be able to hinder us."
After a short discussion between the two, Lu Chen immediately gathered the cavalry who rushed in. Because the big camp had already been captured by them, all the horses that their cavalry had left outside before had also been brought over.
Just as Lu Chen was about to attack, he saw a soldier come out of the enemy's inner camp. This person came to Lu Chen's side with a nervous face and asked, "Who is General Lu on your side?" ”
