Chapter 208: The Siege of the First Defeat
The white tree is dead.
It's a bizarre thing, but it's real.
The three brothers of the Shi family took over the military power from Shi Xie, and Bai Shu was one of the first to surrender, but he was one of the first to die.
No one expected that as a general besieging the city, as soon as he saw the head of the city, the people would be gone.
Jiang Xin and Lu Meng both saw sweat on their foreheads, and they looked at each other, and they only had fear in their hearts.
Lu Meng didn't dare to order to stay here anymore, he got on his horse and shouted: "Two hundred steps back, back back, back back!" β
While giving the order, he also bowed down and said to Jiang Xin: "Hide Bai Shu's corpse!" β
Jiang Xin woke up in shock, thinking that Lu Meng was really extraordinary, and he could still think of these details at such a moment.
He hurriedly hid the body of the white tree next to his horse.
His horse diedβjust enough to hold off the white tree.
Fortunately, there were all guards around him, and seeing that there were not so many people who died in Baishu, Lu Meng saw that the body was hidden, and then shouted and retreated.
At the same time, these soldiers did not know that their original commander was dead, and they retreated in a hurry, and suddenly some soldiers saw Baishu's horses and shouted in fright.
"General Bai is dead, and the horse has run out!"
Jiang Xin slapped his head, annoyed that he hadn't done this well, and hurriedly told the people around him to let them tell the others that Bai Shu was fine.
However, there was no longer this opportunity, and the Jiaozhi soldiers who did not know why behind him first saw Shuai Qi being shot out of the hole, and then heard that Bai Shu was dead.
In their hurry, they couldn't distinguish the real from the fake, and it happened that the order to retreat was given at this time, and the last soldiers didn't know what was happening at all, they just thought that the white tree was dead and the army was going to flee, so they hurriedly fled side by side.
The front team became the rear team, and Lu Meng originally asked everyone to take 200 steps back, but he didn't expect that it would cause the troops to disperse.
This is impossible for this to happen in his Jiangdong Army, but these Jiaozhi soldiers are really all soft eggs, and they have already run away before the battle.
Lu Meng's eyes were split, and he shouted loudly: "Don't run, don't run!" β
However, in the midst of the chaos, one person's power to shout is limited, and no one listens to him at all.
Lu Meng gritted his teeth, turned his head to Jiang Xin, and said, "General, send cavalry to supervise the army and press the pins!" β
Seeing such a chaotic situation, Jiang Xin also planned to do so, so he had to lead the cavalry to speed up and chase after the soldiers who were in the first place.
As a result, as soon as the cavalry ran, the soldiers were even more frightened and hurriedly accelerated, and the ranks became even more chaotic.
Lu Meng trembled angrily, and then he realized how different it was to command an obedient army and an unobedient army.
Because of this, he admires Zhou Yu's order and prohibition even more, and I am afraid that it will take him a long time to do this.
In the end, Jiang Xin and Lu Meng still stabilized the formation by killing the deserters, but that was already a matter of retreating a mile.
Until the team gathered, someone asked what to do with General Bai when he died, and obviously everyone was frightened.
And according to later statistics, hundreds of people were lost, and a few people were trampled to death by their own people, which was a shame for Lu Meng.
It does not seem wrong to say that the army is defeated like a mountain, because he has not yet fought before he has fallen like a mountain.
His eyes were red as he looked at the city in the distance, his fists clenched tightly.
Not long ago, Jiang Xin was still asking him how long it would take to take Guangxin City.
That's when he said to try.
Now it seems that they have already lost for a while without even trying.
"The quality of these soldiers and horses is really poor!"
Lu Meng said hatefully.
β¦β¦
At the same time, there were cheers on the city wall of Guangxin.
Chen Zhi commanded the soldiers to control the crossbow machine, and he himself controlled one.
The first arrow that pierced the handsome flag of Jiang Zi was from him, and the arrow that killed Bai Shu was also shot by him.
After the second round of shooting, the opposing army actually collapsed on its own, which exceeded his expectations.
Le Jin was already ready for a big battle, but he didn't expect the enemy army to run like this, and he ran so badly that he couldn't help laughing.
Le Jin was next to the city defense equipment, and exclaimed: "Uncle Zhi, you won the first battle, you should take the first credit!" β
The surrounding soldiers cheered, and the first battle was won, and everyone was honored.
turned to find that Ah Si was eager to try next to him, and said with a smile: "Ah Si girl is also the first merit!" β
Everyone looked at Ah Si with admiration again, the inside story is clear here, if there is no Ah Si, these equipment would not have been able to be built at all, and it would have been impossible to have a big victory this time.
Ah Si Wan'er pointed in the direction of the enemy and said: "It's really vulnerable, it seems that the weapons behind it are useless!" β
Le Jin and Chen Zhi shook their heads at the same time.
When the enemy army retreated just now, they clearly saw that the leader of the enemy army quickly took measures.
In the end, although the team was chaotic, it did not develop into a major defeat, and it seems that the main commander of the enemy army is not an ordinary person.
"It's better that the soldiers are too weak. I feel that these may not be the main forces of Jiangdong. β
Chen Zhi looked at the road outside the city.
Le Jin nodded: "I think so too, it is very likely that this is Shixie's Jiaozhou Army, after all, the Cangwu Army is almost this combat power." β
The Cangwu people next to him couldn't help but feel ashamed and inexplicable, only feeling that he was in a small place like Cangwu, and he was indeed looked down upon by people who had seen the world in the north.
"It would be nice to have more detailed information."
After this battle, Le Jin admired Chen Zhi's ability more and more, and it was no problem for Chen Zhi to command, at least he didn't have to care about these city-guarding equipment, and he only needed to take care of the soldiers guarding the city when the time came.
Chen Zhi heard the sound of Le Jin outside the strings, and knew that Le Jin was discussing the matter of defending the city with himself, and he couldn't help but be concerned.
"I've seen a lot of soldiers retreat......"
As soon as Chen Zhigang opened his mouth, he found that Ah Si looked at him with a strange expression, so he had to smile awkwardly.
In this world, I am afraid that there are no more rout scenes than the generals under Liu Bei have seen.
However, he was also open-minded, and continued: "Seeing that the enemy soldiers can still gather after the retreat just now, the enemy commander will never give up so easily." In my opinion, in less than an hour, the enemy will return. When you come again, it's not going to be easy to deal with. β
"There is only one surprise, but the accuracy of the strong crossbow is comparable to that of a bow and arrow, and with this incident, the enemy commander may not dare to show his face easily, which is a great blow to the command of the siege."
"Yes, when the time comes, I will also aim at the enemy commander to see if there are any fighters!"
The two of them had already decided, and Le Jin ordered everyone to divide half of them into rest, and the other half to keep an eye on the enemy's movements at any time, and to notify all parties as soon as there was any disturbance.
The soldiers approached the city, and the soldiers defending the city were all in good spirits, even those who were rotated to rest, they did not relax easily, and they were ready to go to the battlefield at any time.
However, to their surprise, the enemy did not launch an offensive until the afternoon.
Le Jin was a little tired, so he ordered the soldiers to guard carefully, took off his armor, and rested against the inner city wall.
This Guangxin is also hot, and when he took off his armor, he felt sweaty, and he was blown by the cool breeze, and he shivered.
Because of his nervous tension, he leaned against the wall and took a nap.
In his confusion, he heard someone shouting to him.
"Oh no, General Le, no, the enemy is coming again!"
"How many, how many?"
Lejin immediately jumped to his feet.
"20,000 ......"
