Su Chen captured Xuchang this time, and after capturing Xuchang City, he swallowed the remaining 30,000 or 40,000 troops in Xuchang City, and now Su Chen still has more than 100,000 troops in his hands.

This army of more than 100,000 is a good thing and a bad thing, with this army of more than 100,000, Su Chen can be said to be walking sideways on the way back to the south.

But this army of more than 100,000 is also a bad thing, there are too many people to hide their bodies at all, especially in the face of Jiang Yu, the general of the Chuyuan Dynasty and the god of war of the Chuyuan Dynasty.

Su Chen could clearly feel that there was a big gap between the morale of the soldiers and the beginning of the attack on Xuchang City.

When attacking Xuchang City, one by one they were fierce like little wolf cubs, but now they are facing General Jiang Yu. Although one by one is not a lost dog, this morale has dropped too much.

There's really no way, the name of the person is too big! Who was a soldier in the Chuyuan Dynasty who didn't know the prestige of General Jiang Yu?

This great general has guarded the Chuyuan Dynasty for decades, and there are more than a million people who have died in his hands.

If yesterday was more serious, not a draw but a defeat, then today's soldiers will not become lost dogs, let alone throw off their arms, then they all have to walk with their waists bent.

However, if you want Su Chen to leave so honestly, it will not work, Su Chen left a little gift for the imperial army in Xuchang City.

Outside the city of Xuchang, the imperial army carried a battering ram, like a decent siege city, after breaking the north gate of Xuchang City, it was found that there was no sergeant in Xuchang City.

Jiang Xiong was overjoyed and hurriedly wanted to enter Xuchang first, but was stopped by Jiang Yu.

"Don't be in a hurry!"

Jiang Yu waved his hand, and immediately a pair of sergeants rushed into Xuchang City, and as soon as the sergeant stepped into Xuchang City, he heard a loud bang.

Su Chen was treacherous and cunning, and actually laid dozens of mines at the gate of Xuchang City, this mine is time-sensitive, if no one moves this mine within half an hour, the flint waiting to be lit inside will lose its effect, and even if you step on it, it is impossible to make the gunpowder explode.

Su Chen brought a lot of these gunpowder left, so he set up dozens of mines at the Xuchang City Gate, of course, these mines could not blow up the 150,000 troops of the imperial court, and naturally they could not blow up General Jiang Yu to death, these dozens of mines were used to delay time.

Jiang Yu looked at the smoke of the Xuchang City Gate, and laughed instead of anger.

"Hahaha, the sky is a great talent, this gunpowder has been played by him so many tricks!"

Jiang Xiong was completely different from Jiang Yu, constantly shaking his head and sighing.

"This Su Chen is so treacherous and cunning, he actually got so many explosives to stop us before leaving!"

"Father, why don't we bypass Xuchang City from both wings and continue the pursuit? Even though Xuchang City covers an extremely large area, it will take some time to bypass Xuchang City, but it is much faster than letting the soldiers wade through these explosives. ”

Jiang Xiong shook his head.

"No, absolutely not, I ordered a noon chase to be a noon pursuit, and there is a way to break all the explosives at this city gate! You personally go to the villages near Xuchang City, find the villagers in those villages, buy all their cattle and sheep, and remember to give money! ”

After Jiang Xiong heard this, he thought about it carefully, and suddenly realized that his father was going to use the lives of cattle and sheep to open the way!

Yes, my father is a famous general, how can he take a detour, he must go straight with a long knife!

"Yes!"

Jiang Xiong immediately took a few men and horses to a nearby village and bought dozens of cattle and sheep.

After driving these cattle and sheep back, they drove directly into the Xuchang City Gate, and after a few explosions, these cattle and sheep were killed by less than half, but they finally lined up almost all of these mines.

In fact, half an hour had passed at this time, and if Jiang Xiong could be a little later, all these mines would have lost their effectiveness.

Jiang Xiong drove these cattle and sheep into the city, and when they arrived on the street, because of the explosion of the city gate, the originally prosperous Xuchang Main Street was already empty at the moment, and there was no one to see on the whole road, only the houses on both sides opened a gap from time to time, and poked out a head to see the reality.

"Go and check how many military horses and grain and grass are left in Xuchang City?"

Jiang Xiong gave an order, and the soldiers began to investigate, but they came back soon, because the results of the inventory were obvious, the food and grass for the military horses in Xuchang City were gone, and they were gone! Nothing!

At this moment, Jiang Yu finally led the army into the city, Jiang Xiong couldn't do it, and hurriedly ran to his father's side to report.

"Father, there is nothing left in Xuchang City, there are no military horses, no grain and grass, except for the people who have not committed any crimes, it can be said that there is an empty city left in this Xuchang City."

Jiang Yu was not surprised by this.

"If I were him, I would take all the horses and food with me, and I might even loot the people of the city and leave a ruined city to the enemy."

"This kid is still a little benevolent, but we don't need much for military horses and grain and grass, so we ordered the whole army to prepare, and after eating, we gathered at the south gate of Xuchang at noon, and we continued to pursue."

……

On the other side, Su Chen fled all the way south with his soldiers, Su Chen is quite familiar with the road from Xuchang to Yecheng, most of this road is flat, but there are still some terrain with different appearances.

For example, the big road in front of you is bound to pass between two hills, and the original army of 100,000 is about to turn into a long snake at this moment, and the speed of passing here will inevitably be slow.

Su Chen thought about it, passing through this terrain like this, it is bound to delay a lot of time, and the imperial army is not slow, if it is delayed here for too long, maybe the sun has not yet set, and the imperial army should catch up.

Su Chen looked back at the soldiers he led, whether it was those who surrendered to the army, or the 100,000 elite soldiers he brought were demoralized, and it was concluded that there was no possibility of being able to return to the division and fight again with the imperial army.

Su Chen thought about it and came up with a clever plan to delay the imperial army.

"How much earth explosives do we have left?"

Song Shide replied on the side: "General, we only have a dozen earth bombs left. ”

Su Chen thought about it and glanced at the terrain.

"Little Stone, you take these dozen earth bombs to dig down the mines again, just follow the method I taught you, rebuild these earth bombs, be careful, don't ignite those gunpowder!"

"Then you dig fifty pits in the ground, and leave the first five pits empty, but these five pits must be conspicuous, and every other pit or two pits in the back, put an earth bomb, some of which should be conspicuous, and some of which should be hidden."

"After this pit is almost dug you immediately chase us on horseback, and after you get out of this hilly road, you dig fifty more such pits at the end of the hilly road, and you are also doing the same concealment and making it more obvious!"
