Chapter 261: This Will Bring Us Down

Qin Yu felt very bad at this time, he was originally the party with strong military strength, but now he was forced to flee for his life.

Ma Ming, the commander of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, quickly came to Qin Yu's side, grabbed the reins of his horse, and said urgently, "Holy Lord! The situation is critical! The armor of the wolf cavalry is so fine that the three of us cavalry have replaced one of the other party, and now there are enemy troops in the rear, so the only way to do this is to withdraw."

Qin Yu listened to Ma Ming's words, his eyes widened angrily, and he reprimanded, "What nonsense?!" You dare to mess with my army's heart! I haven't failed yet! I still have tens of thousands of troops! There are more than 10,000 traitors in the state! I can still win!"

At this moment, Meng Ji also came to Qin Yu and reported: "Holy Lord, something is wrong, I just caught a rout of the Bashuyong army that escaped from the south gate, and the three princes have been killed in battle!"

Qin Yu heard Meng Ting's report, his whole mind was confused, he couldn't help but think of the scene when he was a child, when the brothers played and played together, and now the third child became the first of their dozen brothers to die.

Ma Ming and Meng Ji glanced at each other, and both of them could see that Qin Ming's original violent momentum had declined.

Qin Yu asked, "Is there any news about the second child?"

Ma Ming said hesitantly: "Holy Lord, according to the scouts who came back from the investigation, the second prince failed to attack the north gate, and the siege weapon thunderbolt was burned by the cavalry of the Hezhou army that broke through the counter-encirclement, and the second prince has now withdrawn his troops back to Xushan."

When Qin Yu heard this, he looked angry and scolded, "This sinister villain! Seeing small profits and dying righteousness, doing big things and sparing their lives."

Meng Ji asked in a low voice, "Holy One, what are we going to do now?"

Qin Yu regained his senses, and he ordered, "Retreat, retreat to Chen Cang!"

Qin Yao's order was quickly issued and thoroughly executed, and the Yongjun army of Liangzhou began to retreat to Chencang to the south.

The abnormal movement of the Yongjun army in Liangzhou quickly attracted Wang Rong's attention, Chu Luxu looked at the battlefield in front of him, and said to Wang Rong: "Military commander! The Liangzhou army has withdrawn!"

Wang Rong immediately said, "Blow the assembly trumpet! Chase the whole army!"

Out of the city and the state army in Liangzhou Yongjun continued to chase behind, Liangzhou Yongjun quickly retreated to the south, and the state army took advantage of the situation to chase and kill, Liangzhou Yongjun was defeated, was killed countless, and the cavalry of the state army chased all the way to the edge of the water before stopping the horse, all the way were killed corpses, especially the Xiliang iron cavalry that lost the horse, ran not fast, and was cut off by the state from behind.

In this battle, more than 40,000 soldiers of the Guanzhong, Liangzhou and Bashuyong armies were killed, and Qin Yu only collected 35,000 defeated troops and retreated to Chencang in panic. Qin Xuan withdrew to Xu'an early with his defeated troops.

When Wang Rong returned to Yongxian County with his army, the sun was already in the west, and Li Sujie greeted him and asked, "Zhong Ming, what are we going to do next?"

In the first battle of Yongxian, Wang Rong took 20,000 troops to fight against more than 100,000 Yongjun troops in Guanzhong, Liangzhou and Bashu, and it was a blessing to be able to win, at this time he really didn't want to stay in Guanzhong anymore, and he must hurry up and return to Bingzhou, and at the same time send the Bingzhou army into Guanzhong, taking advantage of the time when Liangzhou and Guanzhong Yongjun licked their wounds, to seize more territory.

Wang Wei said to Wang Mao on the side: "Ah Mao, let the guards go and give an order, rest for one night tonight, leave Yongxian County tomorrow, and we will go back to Bingzhou!"

"Whoa!"

The speed of the retreat of the Bingzhou army was very fast, and when Qin Yu took the Liangzhou Yongjun army to Ji County, Wang Rong and his army had already arrived at the bank of the river, and the city wall of Lin County on the opposite side loomed in the mist.

Wang Rong stood on the bank of the river, looking at the rushing river, and he fell into deep thought.

Li Sujie walked up from behind him and said, "Zhong Ming, the 1st Division of the Bingzhou Army has already moved west from Linhe County and entered Hexi County."

Wang Rong drew a few lines in the land with his boots, and then asked, "How is the situation of the second division?" new

Li Sujie looked at the shadowy Lin County city wall on the other side and reported, "The Second Division has moved south from Yanmen County and entered Yiqu County."

Hearing this, Wang Rong asked directly, "What is the situation in Yanmen County?"

Li Sujie shook his head,

said: "The number of soldiers in Yanmen County is sufficient, and the defense along the line is also sufficient."

Wang Rong stopped his movements, and he spoke: "The Fifth Division and the Sixth Division are also transferred, and the strength of the four divisions, I think that except for Guanzhong Sanfu, the other Yongzhou boundaries should be able to be easily taken."

Li Sujie was not optimistic, he said worriedly, "Zhong Ming, don't be so optimistic, okay? With only four divisions and 60,000 people, such a large territory as Yongzhou is like pouring a bowl of water into the sea, and neither of them can make a splash."

Wang Rong shook his head and said, "Recruit county soldiers from Linhe County and Fenchuan County as auxiliaries to join the state army and go into battle with the army, and at the same time expand the size of the army."

Li Sujie listened to Wang Rong's words, his face was confused, and he asked uncertainly, "Are you sure you want to continue to increase the troops?" If too many young people are recruited, it will affect the spring ploughing."

Wang Rong was silent.

"Jun Sima, you only said one of them, and there is one more question."

When Wang Rong and Li Sujie heard the voice, they looked over.

I saw Huangfu Jian panting in front of the two of them and said, "Hou... Hou Ye... Have you ever thought that once more young people are recruited, it will affect the spring ploughing of the state. Master Hou, have you ever thought about the situation in Yongzhou? The situation in Yongzhou does not seem to be good now, the land in the fields is barren, the people's livelihood in the city is withering, and if we take it, it will be another big investment, which will drag us down."

Wang Rong shook his head and said, "Mr. Huangfu, things are not calculated like this, what does Dayong rely on to rise in Liangzhou and dominate Yongzhou? It is not only the Yongliang people who exchanged their lives for it, but also the pastures and farmland in Liangzhou. No matter how corrupt Qin Xuan is, it is impossible to destroy thousands of years of fertile land in two years."

Huang Fujian looked at the river in front of him and said with a worried expression: "Master Hou, now it's not just the problem of farmland, according to my research and verification over the years, the floods in my Dayong are getting more and more every year. Last year alone, there were more than 20 floods in Guanzhong counties, and the most harmful ones were floods, flooding farmland and villages."

Wang Rong smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Huangfu, you really know how to pour cold water. I remember that back then, under the leadership of the first emperor, Dayong was the more land, the better. Now, we are worried because there is too much land."

Huang Fujian also smiled bitterly: "Master Hou, I have such a personality, just to be able to organize the lord to make the wrong choice at a critical moment."
