Chapter 16: Showdown outside the city

Chen Guo has been bullied for so long, and now that he has finally caught such an opportunity, of course he will not just give up, even if the army of Qianguo left a lot of corpses and retreated, but Chen Jun still refused to let them go, and chased them all the way. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info and they swooped down from the top of the hill, making it easier to pursue.

There's no way, run for your life.

Originally, it was taboo for soldiers to escape from the formation, because once they fled, the formation would become very chaotic, and once the formation became chaotic, it would provide the other party with a lot of opportunities to harvest the remnants of blood.

But Hong Jiang still chose to retreat, because there was His Royal Highness the King of Jin in the team, no matter how serious the consequences of retreating were, but as long as the King of Jin could be saved, everything else was easy to say. If His Royal Highness the King of Jin is gone, even if the Chen army is completely wiped out, it will be meaningless.

After retreating for more than ten miles, passing through a canyon, the men of the Qianguo army blocked the mouth of the canyon, and at the cost of hundreds of people killed, they brought the opportunity to readjust the formation for the remaining companions.

In fact, this canyon is the best ambush location, but the Qianguo army did not take this road before.

Chen Guang sat directly on the ground without the slightest image, panting loudly, his face was serious, almost murderous.

Hong Jiang was also pale, and all the time, the continuous victories had also made him relax his vigilance a little. He always felt that Chen Jun suffered such heavy casualties that he could only passively defend and would definitely not take the initiative to attack. However, he was wrong, and the price of his mistake was that he was ambushed and suffered heavy losses.

The soldiers who escaped from the ascension were terrified and adjusted their formation under command.

This time in an ambush, not only did they lose a lot of troops, but they also lost some large equipment, such as siege engines and ladders, as well as some food and grass.

"His Royal Highness the King of Jin, the old minister is guilty." Hong Jiang knelt down on one knee and said to Chen Guang.

Chen Guang held his forehead, very depressed in his heart, how could this be? It's not scientific!

Looking at Hong Jiang kneeling, he said: "Okay, okay, get up, say what to do, victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, what is not guilty." ”

"The scouts have already explored that area beforehand, and it is very safe there, but I don't know why Chen Jun still appeared there later." Hong Jiang explained.

He still hadn't figured out how Chen Jun's ambush was done. It's just that it doesn't seem to make sense to pursue those now.

Chen Guang naturally didn't believe that this was Hong Jiang's mistake, after all, he was a famous veteran, and it was impossible to make such a low-level mistake, so it could only be said that Chen Jun seized a good opportunity.

However, Chen Guang was not a person who would easily admit defeat, he took a deep breath and said, "Let the people below count the losses, and then organize a counterattack." ”

Hong Jiang immediately went down to make arrangements. After this blow, someone in the Qianguo army must come out to boost morale, and Chen Guang naturally would not do such a thing, of course, he still went to Hongjiang, who was highly respected.

After pacifying the soldiers, counting the losses, it was getting late, so they set up camp and prepared to sleep.

Chen Guang was very sad and tossed and turned in the tent. originally thought that the situation would be like a bamboo, and it would be smooth sailing, but it was immediately hit.

The next step is to save face.

He opened the live broadcast room.

"Today's scene was so bloody."

As soon as I opened the live broadcast room, I saw someone discussing. In fact, these are the things that people in the live broadcast room talk about the most.

"The anchor appeared." I don't know who shouted.

Chen Guang switched to his avatar and said weakly: "Hello everyone." ”

"It's a pity today, it's dangerous." Netizens said bluntly.

"Actually, I don't think it's an easy ambush position, Chen Jun also seems to have a great military advisor, surprise."

"Really, that position is too obvious, it's not good for Tibetans at all, and this wave is really a loss. But it doesn't matter, the anchor believes you, organize a counterattack. Chen Jun has been consumed so much, he is already a grasshopper after the autumn, and he won't be able to jump for long. ”

"It's just, it's just a loss, and you can always fight back."

Everyone comforted them, and Chen Guang's mood finally felt better, and said: "Okay, I still don't believe that I can't get this back, Lao Tzu wants to let Chen Guo destroy the country." ”

"That's right."

"But it's good to destroy the country, don't engage in the three massacres of Jiading, the ten days of Yangzhou." Some netizens admonished.

"What are the three massacres of Jiading in Yangzhou on ten days?" Some netizens asked.

"The Buddha said, don't say it, Baidu by yourself."

Chen Guang couldn't help laughing and said, "I'm definitely not going to do that kind of thing, do you think I'm a slave?" ”

"Then I'll be relieved."

After talking for a while, Chen Guang closed the live broadcast room and went to sleep. When he got up the next morning, he watched the soldiers go about their business, and he cheered up again. It's just a small loss, there's no need to be frustrated, whoever hits me will fight back!

After washing up and having breakfast, Hong Jiang came over to report yesterday's losses.

"Yesterday we lost more than 5,600 troops, 61,320 in addition to those who remained in the cities. The loss of grain and grass was 575 stones, and there were two siege vehicles. ”

This is a heavy loss, especially grain, one stone is one hundred and twenty catties, more than five hundred stones, which is a lot of rations. Fortunately, so many cities have been conquered now, even if there is no food, it can be directly transferred from these cities, which is a relatively easy thing to solve. The siege trucks are also fine, there are trees everywhere, and it takes time to make them.

Except for the casualties of the soldiers, everything else was fine.

Chen Guang had already adjusted his state, and Hong Jiang was relieved. After breakfast, the army marched forward.

This way to go more carefully, it can be said that step by step, there was no chance for Chen Jun to ambush, after a few days, they had entered the territory of Daxing City.

Daxingcheng is the closest city to the capital, and it is also the barrier of the capital, the so-called land of Gyeonggi, as long as Daxingcheng is held, it is almost impossible for the Qianguo army to enter the capital of Chen.

Naturally, Daxingcheng also gathered the largest number of Chen troops, and wanted to fight to the death with the Qianguo army.

Chen's current advantage is still very obvious, first of all, it is easier to defend the city than to attack it; Second, this Daxing City has gathered all the troops of Chen State, and the number of people is much larger than that of Qianguo.

In Daxing City, Chen Bao swept away the previous decline, and several beautiful maids were waiting, drinking wine, with a relaxed expression.

"Haha, Qianguo is nothing more than that, it's not like I've been killed." He said to the minister who was standing next to him.

"Yes, yes, the emperor is strategizing, and he will definitely be able to defeat the thieves and recover the lost territory." The minister echoed.

"I will dominate the country for thousands of generations."

The ministers were like a tide of sycophants, and Chen Bao felt that his whole body was floating.

Someone from below came to report that the Qianguo army had arrived outside the city. Chen Bao stood up all of a sudden, and said happily: "Let's go, the generals go out with me, and see how I, the soldiers of the Chen State, repel the thieves." ”

The group all went up to the city tower and waited for the arrival of the Qianguo army.

The Qianguo army came to Daxing City. For the defense of Chen Jun, Chen Guang naturally had been mentally prepared for a long time, and he did not attack recklessly, but stationed a mile outside the city.

Looking at Daxing City in the distance, Chen Guang was expressionless, for Daxing City, he was bound to win, but he couldn't be as stupid as people in this era, he rushed directly from the front, it was too embarrassing to do that as a traverser.

But is there any way to take Daxing City easily and quickly?

"His Royal Highness the King of Jin, this Daxing City is the barrier of the capital of Chen Guo, if you want those Chen Kingdom, this Daxing City must be captured." Hong Jiang said.

Chen Guang naturally knew that it would be impossible to destroy Chen Guo without taking Daxing City.

"Daxing City is to be taken, but we can't be reckless, we have been in the army for so long, let's repair it first, camp on the spot, and prevent Chen Guo from coming out to fight us."

Hong Jiang thought that Chen Guang had been attacked once, so he was more cautious, and this situation was also what he wanted to see, if Chen Guang could grow up in this war, it would be a good thing for himself, for the soldiers who went out, and even for the entire Qianguo.

"Yes, it is necessary to have a thorough arrangement, His Royal Highness the King of Jin can think so, the old minister is really very pleased, then let the soldiers be stationed down first, let's slowly find an opportunity."

On the tower of the city, Chen Bao saw that the Qianguo army was stationed, sneered, and said: "Heh, what you can't do yourself, don't go back to their Qianguo, be careful that none of you can go back." ”

He said to the general next to him: "Now that our soldiers are strong and strong, they are now grasshoppers after the autumn, and it won't be long before they jump." Take 50,000 horses and go out and fight them back. ”

The general's blood boiled suddenly, this is the credit given by the emperor himself, and the effect should be expanded several times, maybe he will be crowned the marquis after the fight.

He clasped his hands into fists and said, "The last general will take orders." ”

Then he went down and prepared to go, and after about half an hour the gates of the city were opened, and he went out with fifty thousand horses.

"Generals, let's just wait for General Luo to come back. Go and warm a pot of wine, compared to waiting for the wine to be cold, General Luo will be able to come back and drink it. Chen Bao said.

Chen Guang was still thinking about how he was going to capture this seemingly impregnable city, but he didn't expect the spies in front of him to report that Chen Jun was going to go out of the city to fight a plain war with the Qianguo army, Chen Guang was immediately happy, you have a city wall, I can't mess with you, you have to come out to die, if you don't succeed, you are simply not my style, okay?

In the face of the menacing Chen army, Chen Guang was naturally worthy of it, and ordered to meet the battle, Hong Jiang personally led 20,000 horses out of the column to meet the Chen army for a while.
