Volume 1 Chapter 406 The End (II)
The high-level sorcerer had reconnoitred it, and his eyes shrank, as if he had discovered something terrible.
"Your Excellency the Governor, these 9,000 crossbows are not in the right shape...... They were all replaced with nine-stone heavy crossbows, which had a range of nearly three hundred and sixty steps, and half of the sorcerer group would be suppressed."
"Ye Qing has always been cunning, there must be a conspiracy in this move"
The governor's eyes shrank when he heard this, his expression became solemn, and he continued to listen to the secret analysis of these earthly cronies: "It is said that the nine-stone heavy crossbow is second only to the ten-stone rhubarb crossbow, although the local treasury is very rare, the Yuzhou treasury is similar to Yanzhou, and the heavy crossbow is up to five thousand, Ye Qing is likely to have urgently transferred the Jingzhou crossbow."
"But it's only been a few days since the war started, Ye Qing has not been around for a long time to get Jingbei, in such a short time, even if he has mastered the local treasury, how did he send these bows and crossbows all the way to the ground?"
The body occupied by the governor is broad-minded, and his perspective is finally a higher level, and he thinks about it and says: "I can only take the waterway of Hanshui, Yangtze River, and Surabaya...... Yuan Shu is really a waste, I saw that even the Jingzhou Navy was packed and given to this Liu Bei, so there was such a thing."
Angry, but in the end nothing will be done, and the governor will not fall into the trap: "The whole army abandons its belongings and hastened its retreat"
"The rear team set fire to the tent downwind, and burned the supplies if they could. If it's too late, don't worry about it, just attract the attention of the other party, and quickly withdraw it."
Several rear generals in charge of arson retreated with joy, not knowing how much to burn, or to be perfunctory.
In response to this, the governor could only pretend not to see it, and instead mobilized the whole army.
Cao Jun sped up, Shuai Qi kept moving north, and when he was facing the sprinkler pontoon bridge, he could see the three coalition forces of Liu, Tian and Tao stopping at the abandoned camp, and Ye Qing Shuai Qi personally led the fire fighting.
Only the nine thousand red armor elite soldiers were always not far away, and when the high-level magician looked over, he saw a large area of white and red qi gathering, forming a large cloud of light red, which seemed quite rich.
And on the whole, there is a faint red tiger, which seems to be about to take shape.
The whole army knew that at the end of this strong crossbow, it was impossible to chase the tired army for five miles, and it could be eliminated after passing Surabaya, but at this time, the enemy was only dotted not far away from Erli, and he did not say a word, and the silence and solemn atmosphere were oppressive, which was still very eye-catching.
The soldiers looked back from time to time, thinking of the majesty of this army last night, and they were a little uneasy in their hearts.
"Don't look back, go forward, pay attention to order when crossing the pontoon bridge...... "The captain of the school has a bullet pressure, looking at the three long pontoon bridges in front of him, originally wading in the water, because of the heavy rain last night, Surabaya swelled, the water surface is turbid floats, turbulent and sad, can only take the pontoon bridge.
"It is rumored that in the battle of Guangwu Kunyang, the river water is also soaring......"
"Smack-" A colleague patted the person and lowered his voice: "The crow's mouth is talking nonsense, it was heard by the chief, don't die"
Last night's battle, although the main camp was not broken, but the sub-camp was broken or caused a serious impact, in the shadow of the huge failure, the private rumors about the heavenly punishment meteor spread rapidly, Bi saw that there were too many "meteors" to fall into the camp sergeants, it was impossible to block, but all relied on bullets to suppress the details of the blockade rumors.
The governor couldn't care about this, saw through the bait, and also organized a five-thousand-heavy crossbow array, ready to shoot at it.
The southeast direction was a headwind for Cao's army, and the range was undoubtedly much shorter, but the opponent was a tailwind, considering this, he planned five thousand elite horses on both wings, ready to attack after the other party approached.
Everything was well prepared, so that the governor had a little regret that the other party was very cautious, or considering that the sergeant was tired from fighting at night, he avoided direct confrontation with the cavalry, that is, he did not get close to the three-mile charging distance.
But these are just ordinary episodes during the retreat.
The governor has begun to consider whether there are any other obstacles on the way back to Yanzhou on this trip, and whether Ye Qing has any secret hands, and has been scattered along the road to reconnoitre, and there is no obstacle at present.
Cheng Yu came back from exploring the river at this time, and said: "The depth of Surabaya is already navigable for small ships, and the lord beware of the enemy using this to transport troops." ”
The governor of the "Jingzhou Water Army" was shocked, and immediately ordered: "Expand the investigation"
"Wen Ze, you personally went to the front army to supervise and speed up the ...... crossing the river"
"Obedience"
Yu Ban crossed the river first with his own soldiers, and the governor immediately ordered his headquarters to cross the river in case of possible enemies, and ordered the sorcerer regiment to start an emergency, and did not care about consuming mana when it was critical.
Before the 50,000 people in the headquarters had crossed the halfway point, they heard the high-level sorcerer stand up suddenly: "Downstream scout news - a light cavalry was found in front to intercept and hit the Jiangdong Sun Jian banner"
Another person shouted: "My lord, it's not good, there are still two naval armies going upstream, each fighting the banner of the naval army of Jingzhou and Yangzhou."
The governor was stunned, thinking that if the two joined forces, they would reach a secret agreement or at least have a tacit understanding, and they wanted to kill themselves here?
"But the main force of 110,000 is eager to return home, this idea is unstoppable, and I have the magician group in hand, no matter how bad the situation is, I can escape freely, and the two thieves dare to fight this idea. The governor remained calm, and ordered the crossing to be hastened, not to be prepared to stay in Pengcheng for a long time.
At this time, on the other side of Surabaya, there was a sudden warning signal in the distance in front of the army, and the light flashed out, followed by the rise of smoke and dust, and the ground shook.
The soldiers of the Cao army saw that there was a cavalry rushing on the other side of Surabaya, and it was red, and the sorcerer probed this man and horses, and judged that it must be a thousand fresh troops who were urgently transferred from Jingzhou's water transportation.
Some generals are still shouting: "Go and ...... quickly"
"Yanren Zhang Fei is here" shouted angrily like thunder, and with a "boom", the red torrent accelerated forward, and a thousand red-armored cavalry swept in almost the blink of an eye.
"Zhang Fei" Yu Ban was shocked in the headquarters of crossing the river, greeted him, and shouted angrily: "The two families have just established a truce agreement and work together to fight against Dong, Liu Zhijun has turned his ear to ear, and it is against his faith, so he is not afraid of being ridiculed by the world?"
"Ha was ordered to protect the adults across the river"
At this time, the governor's heart was clear, and his whole body was boiling: "The magician group jointly created a freeze to freeze this section of the river, and the surface around the pontoon bridge should be deeply frozen."
"Yes"
The hands of the high-level sorcerers lit up with a ghostly water, making a half-step real person existence, but the difference was that there was no real person spirit pool, but at this time, the heyday was also considerable.
The surrounding magicians arranged a formation with the regiment leader as the center, and the trajectory of special spiritual power was faintly formed in the air.
"This is all grain and grass, hurry up and rescue it, and this batch of weapons ......"
Five miles away Cao Jun abandoned the camp, Qianqian organized a group of magicians to jointly carry out rainfall to fight the fire, although it was hot at noon in summer, but Tuo had just had a torrential rain last night, not only the camp tent was soaked and difficult to burn, but the air was full of moisture, so the effect of artificial rainfall was very good.
Waves of rain sprinkled, flames everywhere quickly extinguished, most of the materials were rescued, these and the sub-camp materials together with the wealth accumulated in many places in Xuzhou for many years, because the Qingzhou soldiers like to slaughter when they loot have no bitter master, these will become the money and food support of the husband Shangluo.
The girl Zhenren breathed a sigh of relief when she looked at it, and suddenly stared at the fluctuation of Surabaya's cold spiritual power, she felt funny, and laughed: "Wouldn't it have been done earlier......?
"Madame's threat is too great, and I'm worried that if you have a few more meteors, where would you dare to easily lose mana on the other side.
Ye Qing glanced at the riverside with a smile, only to see the cold aura rising, the vast ice mist sweeping, the huge mana converging, and the seeping "creaking" sound, Surabaya quickly froze on the surface of this section of the river, forming a thick white ice road.
The officers and men of the Cao army on both sides of the strait were dumbfounded...... It's the height of summer
"Heaven will not die to me - the lord is mighty and prosperous" Cheng Yuha laughed and shouted, the old and resolute voice revealed a mysterious power, which suddenly made a large number of Cao Bing's eyes shine, and then shouted, rushing through the solid ice: "It's really frozen, it's very tight, and it can pass people-"
Cheng Yu was not so happy on the surface, but looked at his lord and did not react, he was puzzled in his heart, and couldn't help lowering his voice: "This frozen crossing of the river is also an old matter of Guangwu, and it is even a famous lord, let people shout accordingly."
"Ah......" The governor himself was a little surprised by this effect, physical knowledge does not mean reaction, Bi Shang's habitual understanding of spells has long been ingrained, and only then did he order the propaganda to continue, which immediately caused the whole army to shout, and the morale was greatly boosted: "It's frozen, cross the river, cross the river-"
The handsome flag held on to the frozen river until the end, and then moved to the north bank on the ice, and the flag was raised high, causing Cao Jun's soldiers to shout higher: "Mandate of Heaven, Mandate of Heaven, Mandate of Heaven......
The three armies were uplifted and swept away the depression
This is how the top strategist can turn the situation around at a critical moment, and then retreat into the background after success, Cheng Yu has long been used to this, and at this time, he followed his own father-in-law, but his hands were clenched in his sleeves.
As the only remaining top strategist in Cao Ying, Cheng Yu clearly felt ...... Something is wrong.
Cheng Yu is not worried about the current battle situation, he is the only one who has always seen Ye Qing's bottom line clearly in Cao Ying, and he judged that it is impossible for Liu Yuanjun to continue to chase and kill, and then chasing and forcing the trapped beast to fight will make Sun Wu see the joke and move a stone to hit himself in the foot, which will damage Dong Yuwen's righteousness......
The fait accompli is no longer thought about, but is crowded out by a strange intuition just now.
What's wrong?
Cheng Yu looked at his lord, and then at the Taoist priest with a proud face, and then turned his gaze to the group of subordinates who later served in other places, evoking a lot of information, and gradually fell into contemplation......
The governor knew that the morale of the Governor was not to be lightly consumed, so he ordered the sorcerer to establish a defensive cover, and the army slowly retreated from Surabaya.
These 9,000 red armor soldiers just pursued, forcing Cao Jun to go in embarrassment, leaving behind countless burdens during the process, and listening to Liu Beijun shouting in unison, "Congratulations to Cao Zhijun".
This is the end of this little episode.
"We will live up to our promises. The whole army rested, and after Tao Qian's dinner, Ye Qing returned to the inner account, thinking like this, blew out the light, and laughed in the dark.
Qianqian rolled over, reached out and touched his cheek: "Huh?"
"Tao Qian's hint revealed during the banquet could not be more obvious, the fruit of Xuzhou is ripe, thanks to its own strength far beyond history, but it takes an opportunity and a name ......to pick it peacefully."
I'm going to Luoyang tomorrow, and it's time to get this title.
