"Why are you here?" Shu Han immediately asked as soon as he saw Lin Bida, and at the same time felt even more uneasy, obviously Lin Bida's appearance here was not good news, and he also knew from Lin Bida's embarrassed posture why the other party came here.

"The soldiers can't support it, we have to retreat, Shu Han, hurry up." Lin Bida said loudly, at this time, there were the voices of soldiers everywhere around, and he had to amplify his voice to be able to let Shu Han hear it, looking at Lin Bida, Shu Han said loudly: "Retreat? If we can't withdraw, if we lose the Yangtze River natural insurance, we will be finished! Quickly let the soldiers resist, must resist, hold on for a while, the 40,000 army will be able to arrive, and then the situation of the battle will change, Lin Bida, quickly return to your position, you don't have to worry about it here! “

Shu Han said loudly, Lin Bida looked at Shu Han, and said with some sadness in his heart: "Shu Han, you can't do anything, if our current forces persist any longer, everyone will die, and we must retreat!" Looking at Lin Bida's firm eyes, Shu Han was stunned for a moment, and then said very disappointedly: "Defeated? “

"No defeat, we will retreat to the bazaar and recuperate there, at this time the number of ships of the Holy Alliance is not enough, and it will take a lot of time to transport the follow-up troops, enough for us to regroup." Lin Bida immediately said, he knew that Shu Han was obviously not in a good mood at this time, and the first battle ended with such a result, which was obviously not a good result, but at this time, Lin Bida obviously couldn't say that.

Shu Han looked at Lin Bida, and finally accepted this result, although he had ambition in his heart, he wanted to establish his authority in the Black Iron City through this battle, and let so many soldiers accompany him on an adventure, he had it at first, but at this time, looking at the exhausted good guys around him, he still didn't pass his own level in the end, and he still retained a trace of his sensibility as a human after all.

Seeing that he agreed, Lin Bida immediately arranged for people to let Shu Han leave the battlefield immediately, and before Shu Han left, he said to Lin Bida: "I have arranged for 800 people from the personal guard army to be in the rear, you can let them be behind!" After receiving the order, Lin Bida immediately took his guards to take over Shu Han's personal guard troops, and asked them to immediately go to the front line to block the enemy's imminent advance, and form a blocking line with the remaining troops, and the entire army under the command of Lin Bida and Shu Han and others, and finally retreated to the vicinity of the market collectively.

At this time, Shu Han came to the bazaar, and immediately called a meeting, compared to the last time, this time the Skywalker people were not so arrogant to Shu Han, which was beyond Shu Han's expectations, after all, this battle was lost, according to the normal situation, these Skywalkers should not be so polite to themselves.

When he heard the battle report, Shu Han realized that Lin Bida had fought so well in this battle, using his own strategy to successfully eliminate the first batch of enemy troops who landed, and at the same time rescued the troops on the south bank of the Yangtze River, although he lost the position on the south bank of the Yangtze River, but in terms of the number of killed and wounded enemies, the casualties of 10,000 people in the Black Iron City were finally exchanged for more than 30,000 casualties of the Holy Alliance, and more than 6,000 people were captured, and the battle loss ratio reached 1 to 4, such a record, It is true that no one will be scared of Shu Han's bad head at this time, this result was something Shu Han did not expect, which also made Shu Han not lose his prestige as a leader.

This made him look at Lin Bida again, although he had always thought that Lin Bida was indeed talented in fighting, and before he became a Skywalker, he led his troops to win a few small battles, but the scale of those wars was all about 100 people, very small, like this 10,000 people fighting, even Shu Han was a little panicked, so for Lin Bida to be able to command calmly, Shu Han's heart was also a quasi, but he didn't expect him to fight so well, which made Shu Han can't help but look at Lin Bida differently, over time, with his military talent, maybe his side can really produce an outstanding general.

At this point, Shu Han is self-aware, outsiders think that he is a good leader, that is because he has many materials and cases in his previous life as a reference, but if it is really a march to fight, he still can't do it, and Lin Bida obviously has talent in this area, Shu Han secretly made a decision in his heart, in the future, he may have to cultivate Lin Bida's ability in this area, otherwise just being a general who keeps the success will not be a waste of talent in this area.

However, this is obviously not the time to discuss these future things, now the troops of the Holy Alliance are building a camp on the south bank of the Yangtze River, so they did not directly attack the bazaar, after all, their army has also been fighting all night, and it is extremely tired at this time, and at the same time, because of the reduction of ships, it will take some time for the transportation of reserve troops, so it will be delayed, but this time will not be too long, at most about half a day, the opponent will arrive at the bazaar and launch an attack, at this point, Shu Han obviously does not intend to defend the city alone, This was too bad for Black Iron City, and he was the first to ask, "Where are our reinforcements now?" ”

"According to the telegram, they were still about six kilometers away from the bazaar." This is not too far, with the speed of the infantry of the Black Iron City, it will only take about an hour to arrive, but they are fashionable and carry a large number of heavy artillery, so it may take about two hours to reach them all.

"Very good, let them set up camp outside the city as soon as they arrive, rest at any time, and our people will work harder, and use those six thousand prisoners of the Holy Alliance, let them dig trenches outside the city, and fill the fire points at the same time, it doesn't matter if they live or die, I want our defensive positions to be established before the enemy attacks, is there a problem." Shu Han asked, the size of the bazaar is not particularly large, originally there were only about 2,000 people in the city, so Shu Han now has almost half of the 20,000 soldiers in his hands living in tents outside the city, if the remaining 40,000 people arrive, then I am afraid that the entire bazaar will have to be surrounded, if there is no good sanitary conditions, I am afraid it will be difficult to control.

As for the people who built these basic military facilities, they were naturally those captives, and they were all members of the Holy Alliance, so they didn't have to feel distressed when they were used, and secondly, Shu Han was also venting his anger, if Guangyuan Guo didn't fight, he had to come to fight Black Iron City, and he really wanted Black Iron City to be a soft persimmon? Shu Han obviously can't tolerate the contempt of the other party, since this is the case, then give the other party a hard punch, let these people know that Black Iron City is not weak and can be bullied.

On the other side, everyone also seized the time to rest, and at this time, Lin Bida also led the broken troops back, because the Holy Alliance itself was already exhausted, so the pursuit did not last long, after the two troops separated from each other's combat area, the troops of the Holy Alliance stopped chasing, and after Lin Bida led the troops back, they began to arrange for people to rest and stand guard.

All the wounded soldiers were arranged to be treated in the city, and those who were still healthy lived outside, Shu Han himself was also painted, there were five knife wounds alone, in addition to a bullet that penetrated from the left side of his thigh, fortunately it did not hit the major artery, otherwise Shu Han would have been lying in the coffin at this moment, and even this penetrating wound frightened everyone, after all, in this era, tetanus caused by infection and fever afterwards, etc., will make people die directly.

Fortunately, Zhao Qingtian and others researched penicillin during this period of time, so that Shu Han finally didn't have to see his leg and amputate his leg because of a bullet, but even so, Shu Han was not comfortable, although he suffered a lot, but he was directly hit by a gun, this is the first time, when he was on the battlefield, he didn't feel it, and at this moment in a safe environment, he felt severe pain, it was not just a wound, the outside circle had been broken by bullets, in the era of no anesthetic, Shu Han could only bite a piece of cloth and ask the doctor to debride himself, and by the time the operation was completed, Shu Han had half his life gone, lying on the bed, fainting in pain.

The battlefield is so cruel, Shu Han is a lucky one, he did not die because of the war, nor did he end up with a disability, more people have lost their lives on the battlefield, or a certain part of themselves, their end will be even more tragic, Shu Han can only be silent about this, he used to cry when he saw such a scene, but now he is as sad as he is in his heart, but his face has never revealed his emotions at all.

After settling the wounded soldiers, the reinforcements from Asakusa Castle finally arrived, 40,000 troops, so that Shu Han regained his confidence, and then arranged the rest and accommodation of the army, and at the same time added the original 20,000 troops, now Shu Han concentrated in the entire market The army has exceeded 60,000 people, such an army, lying around the market, looking out from the city wall, is simply boundless, as the so-called army is over, can not see the edge, now the army of 60,000 people, is simply all over the mountains, and led such an army, which also made Shu Han full of confidence.

According to the report of the Ministry of Military Intelligence, the Holy Alliance lost more than 36,000 people in this battle, close to about 40,000 people, and the Holy Alliance's troops are only 100,000 in total, not even less, 80,000 people are also very possible, so that the remaining troops of the other party at the moment are only 60,000, or less, in this way, at least the bazaar will not be broken in a short time, and the Holy Alliance will face a difficult start, that is, the attack of Guangyuan Kingdom, they must think.

Originally, the Holy Alliance planned to use the first-mover advantage to subdue the Black Iron City, force the Black Iron City to declare neutrality, and then come to fight with the Guangyuan Kingdom, but at this time, the Holy Alliance suffered such a big loss, and obviously had no capital to negotiate with the Black Iron City, at this time, the other party fell into a dilemma, the army gathered in the Black Iron City, but the army of the Guangyuan Kingdom came unexpectedly, and no one would know when it came, at this time, they had to think about a question, that is, how to arrange the army, Whether it is more important to continue to fight against Black Iron City or to defend the homeland.

This is obviously a very important question, and now the Holy Alliance is indeed in a tangle, after the urgent transmission of the Black Iron City, at five o'clock in the afternoon after the war, the telegram of the Black Iron City has reached the hands of Guangyuan Kingdom, and the Guangyuan Kingdom immediately began to mobilize the soldiers in their territory to prepare for war, obviously, they also know that this is an excellent opportunity.

But because the country of Guangyuan is mountainous, and the troops are not like the Holy League and the Black Iron City, they are concentrated in some important cities, the establishment and development of the Guangyuan Kingdom is much more moderate than the Holy Alliance, both sides are expanding because of the improvement of firearms, but the Holy Alliance is undoubtedly cruel in the face of the rebels, slaughtering, killing, accompanied by blood, the result is that the rebels are often very fierce, and the casualties are often very heavy, but at the same time they are in control of a city, The control that can be obtained is also the strongest.

The Guangyuan Kingdom is different, they often give the other party great authority, let the other party announce the surrender, so that after the surrender, although nominally under the system of the Guangyuan State, but also to the other party to pay tribute, the power in the hands is much more than those city-states of the Holy Alliance, it can be said that the behavior of both sides has its own benefits, but at the same time it also gave birth to the military system between the two sides is completely different.

The army of the Holy League is centered on the rulers of the Blue Pigeon City, and its combat effectiveness is relatively strong and aggressive, but at the same time, the coordination between each other is not particularly smooth, because the personnel of each city-state are strictly restricted from flowing, which leads to the fact that the people between the various city-states are not familiar with each other, and at the same time, under the leadership of the Blue Dove City, the whole system stipulated within the Holy League because of the birth of the city-state also has a very serious discrimination against those city-states who joined later, especially in the army, and because of this, This army is more suitable for fighting a tailwind and at the same time is very aggressive.

The troops of Guangyuan State are divided into two troops, one part is established by the core city-state of Guangyuan State, which is equivalent to the legion of the Holy Alliance, but the number is not much, and more are the city-state troops established by various city-states, its advantage is that the number is huge, and the population gap is only about four or five hundred thousand, but the army of Guangyuan Country is nearly 100,000 more than the Holy Alliance, and at the same time, when defending the territory and fighting, its combat effectiveness is stronger, because the troops are all people from a hometown, so when defending their hometown, They are more willing to contribute, as for the disadvantage is that they are worse in coordinated operations, these armies were originally under the orders of their own city-states, and now it is naturally difficult to unify the command, and the other point is that they are not very aggressive, if it is not for the Holy Alliance to provoke them, they do not want to fight at all.

Another point is that the armies are all in the various city-states, and now it will naturally take time to assemble, so even if the lord of the country gives an order, it will take ten days and a half months for the armies of each city-state to gather on the front line, but even so, it is enough to make it difficult for the Holy Alliance, after all, the bazaar has gathered 60,000 enemy troops now, and in ten days, can the Holy Alliance destroy these 60,000 enemy troops?
