Jia Nian pulled the reins under the city gate, and a phalanx gradually converged.

More than 900 soldiers exuded an aura of slaughter, and the chaotic crowd gradually regained its calm.

"The one who came is the chief of Chaohu," the general guarding the city strode to the city wall with a group of Shu County soldiers and asked Jia Nian.

A phalanx converged behind him, and it was only then that the defending generals learned of the casualties.

Unexpectedly, in this battle, the losses were as high as more than 200 people.

But thinking of the dangerous situation just now, I couldn't help but be a little silent.

This is only the casualties of the soldiers, and if you add the casualties of the civilians, the losses are only greater.

Fortunately, the reinforcements came in time, otherwise Lujiang would be in danger.

"Exactly," Jia Nian turned over and dismounted, and replied loudly.

Gan Ning, Gan Cunxiao, Gu Enze and others looked over.

Seeing everyone's gaze, the general defending the city couldn't help but gasp, he couldn't imagine that this army of soldiers and horses was so elite.

There are 300 Tier 3 and Tier 3 elite soldiers, plus hundreds of Tier 2 soldiers and Tier 1 soldiers.

Such an army can be regarded as an elite army in Lujiang.

"Thank you Chaohu Commander for coming to help, I will be grateful," the general who defended the city said loudly.

Maybe it's because of the strength, maybe it's because of the identity of the Jia Nian family. Even though his official position was taller than Chaohu, he still lowered his tone to show respect.

The general was polite, although Chen Ce retreated, his strength still existed. Although the danger in Shu County has been suspended, it has not been completely eliminated. I wonder what should I do next? Jia Nian asked.

Hundreds of eyes looked at the general defending the city at the same time, and the silent pressure spread.

"We are the defenders of Shu County, so we should stay here, as for the soldiers and horses of Chaohu Chief, they will naturally return to Chaohu Chief's decision," said the general who defended the city.

The implication is that each has its own soldiers and horses, and they do not belong to each other.

This also followed Jia Nian's wishes: "Chen Ce commanded 3,000 troops, although he only brought more than 1,000 troops to attack Shu County this time, but Shiting still has a number of soldiers and horses. I'm afraid it's a bit inappropriate for us to rush into the army."

"Then according to the words of the head of Chaohu, what should we do?" The defending general asked.

Jia Nian thought about it, but when he saw the guards on the faces of the generals and the three hundred Shu County soldiers, he said loudly: "Shu County is the county capital of my Lujiang, and there is no room for mistakes."

"Therefore, I intend to lead the Chaohu soldiers and horses to be stationed outside the city, and form a corner with Shu County," Jia Nian hesitated a little when he said this.

There was a look of embarrassment on his face: "It's just that there is a shortage of materials in the army in a hurry, does the general give me some military funds and let me wait for the camp?"

"What's so difficult about this, Chaohu Chang is relieved to lead the army out of the city and station, and he will send someone to transport some materials for you" The general defending the city and the soldiers of the three hundred Shu County breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts at the same time.

There is a way that it is easy to invite God and difficult to send God, but now the crisis is temporarily lifted. Chaohu Lake is also nominally under the jurisdiction of Lujiang County.

But he couldn't stand the fierce power of Chaohu, so he had to pay more attention.

Chaohu soldiers and horses are nominally regular troops, but it is undeniable that they are gathered by countless water thieves.

As water thieves, when they see the wealth of Shu County, it is inevitable that they will not be hot-headed and do some irrational things.

Judging from the current strength of the city, once such a thing happens, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Farewell" Jia Nian saw the demeanor of the soldiers and the general of Shu County, bowed to him and strode away.

Now that the benefits you want have arrived, isn't it a bit of a stretch to be unhappy with yourself.

Leading the war horse to the front, the soldiers of Zhongshu County got out of the way.

Gan Ning and others followed.

Seeing Jia Nian's back, the general guarding the city couldn't help but be stunned, he couldn't imagine that the chief of Chaohu was so easy to speak.

However, this neat style also gave him a good impression.

The head of Chaohu Lake is worthy of swallowing Chaohu Lake with a hundred whales, and this bearing is not comparable to himself.

You must know that this is a great time to repay the favor.

……

Chen Ce led the army to run five miles in a row, and then stopped.

Looking around, a phalanx gradually converged behind him.

"Hao Shuai, why are we running?" One of the ringleaders couldn't help but ask loudly.

Everyone's eyes looked at each other at the same time, and all of them looked puzzled.

Chen Ce's violently beating heart gradually relaxed, and he kept reflecting on the scene of the big battle just now.

Dozens of leaders glanced at each other and spoke at the same time.

"This battle is obviously in our hands, and we evacuated in a hurry so that it fell short"

"Although I don't know why the soldiers and horses of Chaohu Lake appeared in Shu County, it is undeniable that the water thieves are storming Changhe Town. Even if they were lucky enough to defeat those water thieves, how could they not have suffered casualties?"

"My subordinates heard that there were only more than a thousand soldiers and horses in Chaohu, and in addition to the battle with the water thieves and galloping all the way, there was a great loss of both numbers and physical strength. It's a shame that we're scared off by this tired army."

Listening to these remarks, Chen Ce's eyes kept flickering, and he fell into thought.

Seeing that Chen Ce was a little moved, a leader took the opportunity to propose: "It's not too late to make amends, why don't we reorganize the army and kill it?" ”

"No, first, I don't know how many soldiers and horses have come to Chaohu, but judging by its momentum, it should be no less than eight hundred. Second, the defenders of Shuxian County originally had 500, although there were losses after a major strategy, but the strength of the Chaohu reinforcements was no less than 1,000 people. If we attack, I am afraid that they will lose more than they gain by taking advantage of the city walls," another leader analyzed.

Suddenly, the leaders had different opinions, and gradually divided into two factions and quarreled.

"Having said that, don't forget that the soldiers and horses in Chaohu are all tired soldiers"

"How so? What if it's not a tired soldier? And isn't our army tired? ”

"Shu County is right in front of me, if I don't take advantage of this opportunity to attack, it will be difficult to find such a fighter."

"The troops are insufficient, it is better to take a break and make plans"

As the crowd spoke, their voices slightly noisy.

"What if you drop the Stone Pavilion soldiers and horses here? After all, the Chaohu soldiers and horses have been stationed in Shu County, wouldn't it be a waste for us to leave heavy troops in Shiting? One of the leaders said subconsciously.

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was stunned, and they all showed excited looks.

That's right, Shiting also has a troop of soldiers. If the soldiers and horses of Shiting are transferred, and the mighty crowd of 2,000 people is over, can't they still take this city? .

As for casualties, there is no need to worry.

You must know that there are many young people in Shu County, and when the time comes, some of them can make up for the loss of troops.

"This plan is wonderful," Chen Ce was overjoyed.

Looking around at the bandits, he commanded loudly: "Pass the order, go to the stone pavilion to summon the second master's department to come"

"After the two armies converged, Ben Haoshuai sent troops to Shu County and killed the henchman in one fell swoop," Chen Ce said loudly.

The bandits shouted in unison: "No"

Immediately afterwards, several bandits turned on their horses and waved their whips and galloped quickly in the direction of the stone pavilion.

Looking at those distant figures, the thieves seemed to see Shu County with the city gate open and the countless wealth and beauties inside.

Breathing became rapid, and my eyes gradually became a little blurred.
