Chapter 51: An Unexpected Retreat

"Boom!" With a bang, a fence could not withstand shaking and chopping, completely detached from the wooden fence next to it, and fell down.

The battle at the gap immediately intensified, and it didn't take long for another fence to be knocked down. Wang Xian, who had already arrived here to command, had a solemn face and raised his long knife.

A reserve rushed from the rear to the breach, and crossbow bolts were concentrated here.

"Kill!" A Jin army general jumped over the gap, waved his long knife in his hand, pulled out his arrows, swung a few piercing spears, jumped up and down, and cut down two opponents in succession. Several more golden soldiers rushed in and gathered around him, forming a small formation.

"Rush forward!" The Jin generals roared and led their men forward so that more Jin troops could be killed through the gap.

Driven by this brave general, this small formation moved forward, and the array of the Red Turban Army to fill the gap was pushed out of a depression, and several more soldiers fell, and there were already dozens of golden soldiers pouring into the gap.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh......" Dozens of javelins suddenly flew out from behind the Red Turban Army's battle formation, swept over the heads of the spearmen, and pierced the Jin Army.

The screams rang out, and under this sudden blow, more than a dozen Jin soldiers fell, and the momentum of the forward impact was stagnant.

With a sound of "dang", the general of the Jin army quickly retreated, the long knife blocked, and burst a spear that stabbed at him, only to feel that the body of the spear was heavy and urgent.

Hehe, Chen Hong sneered twice, and instead of chasing, he led his army to suddenly dodge to both sides.

The general of the Jin army stared at the clear armor in front of him, and did not dare to step forward alone for a while, only holding a long knife, waiting for more subordinates to gather over.

But he clearly didn't have that chance anymore, and the other team's queue flashed to the sides, revealing several wooden carts. On the wooden cart were strange round things, and the muzzles of the black holes pointed directly at them.

"Fire!" With a loud command, the fire flashed, white smoke suddenly appeared, and the projectile shot quickly towards the golden soldier who was close at hand.

At such a close distance, the accuracy and lethality of the earthen cannon are unusually high.

The general of the Jin army only felt a strong blow to his abdomen, and even if he was wearing heavy armor, he felt an unbearable sharp pain, and knelt down holding his stomach.

There was even more screaming around him, and the golden soldiers fell to the ground one after another in the rain of bullets.

After the land cannon was fired, Chen Hong led his team to kill it, and after a burst of indiscriminate slashing and killing, the Jin army that broke through the gap was bloody, and some of the Jin soldiers were even pierced into a sieve.

Blood trickled down his fingers and fell to the ground, staining the dirt red, and more blood trickled around him, converging in the deep footprints he had just stepped on.

The strength was rapidly draining with the blood, and the general of the Jin Army raised his head with difficulty and met Chen Hong's cold gaze.

The spear was like a swimming dragon, stabbing into the throat of the Jin army general without hindrance, Chen Hong turned with one hand, stirred, and then pulled it back violently.

Blood gushed out, blooming poignant blood flowers, and the general of the Jin Army shook and pounced on the ground mixed with blood and mud, his eyes still wide.

"Kill!" The Red Turbans let out a shout, each with their swords and guns, rushing towards the gap. Crossbow arrows, swords and guns attacked, and the gap was quickly blocked, and the corpse of the golden soldier fell in the gap.

Spears were fired, crossbow arrows were fired, and earth artillery bombardment, in the offensive and defensive battles, the Red Turban Army relied on the terrain and fortifications to resist the attack of the Jin army.

The war drums of the Jin army became weaker and weaker, and the momentum of the attack was finally contained, and the mournful sound of gold rang out. The Jin soldiers, who were lucky enough to be alive, retreated in a panic as if they had been amnestied.

There is no danger, Wang Xian let out a long breath and let go of the fist that had been held for too long and was already wet.

Even a middle-level officer in the army had such courage and reaction, Wang Xian was a little ashamed of himself. He didn't know that this Chen Hong was the first to follow Meng Jiucheng to get into trouble, and after many battles, he had grown up.

Wan Yan shook his head, he didn't see the battle behind the fence, but the tenacity and bravery of his opponent far surpassed that of the rebels he had fought against.

Moreover, whether it is fortification or defense, the opponent fights very orderly, not like the other rebels.

More than 200 casualties were the result of the temptation. If you want to capture it, you have to increase it, and Wan Yan thinks that at least the same price will have to be paid to succeed.

In this way, it will cost nearly 500 casualties to conquer one mountain, what about two mountains, and the enemy's Chinese army camp?

Moreover, the opponent has not yet used such a powerful explosive weapon. Thinking of this, Wan Yan dispelled the idea of continuing to attack.

At the same time, he also had the idea of leading the army to retreat and return to Anqiu.

It can be said that with the Red Turban Army aiming at it from afar, the Jin Army simply cannot concentrate on attacking Muling Pass. It is not only useless, but also dangerous to stay in this trapped place for a long time.

"Assemble the army, return." He gave the order and no longer listened to the exhortations of the generals.

Is it self-defeating? Meng Jiucheng watched the Jin army retreat along the original road, and the second monk was puzzled. This stone bullet, flying thunder cannon, and meteor cannon haven't been used yet, why did they leave?

Seeing Meng Jiucheng's puzzled look, Yang Miaozhen smiled and said, "If you want me to say that Jin Jun was not fooled, it means that this slander is as timid as a mouse, and there is nothing to be afraid of." ”

Meng Jiucheng looked at Yang Miaozhen, rubbed his nose, and said with a smile: "The lady is very right, she is so timid to talk about this rat, but I didn't expect it." ”

Yang Miaozhen carefully studied Meng Jiucheng's expression to determine whether he was ridiculing or making fun of him.

Meng Jiucheng smiled, looked at Yang Miaozhen, and called softly: "Miaozhen, after this battle, we will get married." I think that if we don't call everyone together, after all, those who guard the place are trustworthy, and it is not easy to transfer. Let's take a trip to get married, walk around, and have a look......"

Well? Well! Yang Miaozhen's suspicion was immediately thrown away, listening to Meng Jiucheng's soft voice, looking at Meng Jiucheng's affectionate eyes, she replied subconsciously.

Flushed, her eyes were about to drip water, and Yang Miaozhen felt so comfortable that she felt as if she had flown into the sky.

"Ahem." After a long time, Meng Jiucheng stopped, coughed, rubbed his sour eyes, and licked his lips, "Let me drink saliva first." ”

"I, I'll pour it for you." Yang Miaozhen blinked, seemed to come to her senses, touched her hot cheek with her hand, and reached for the teapot.

Meng Jiucheng looked at Yang Miaozhen's back, and felt that he was really a little numb just now, and there seemed to be signs of goosebumps on his body.

However, what he just said was indeed an imaginary plan. The reason, he thinks, is quite reasonable.

If the generals from all over the country want to come to congratulate them, firstly, it is not safe enough, and secondly, it is too extravagant, which is quite inappropriate in the current situation.
