"Report, report..."

Sun Jin was still rushing back to the camp. Hundreds of thousands of troops rushed back desperately, but some soldiers came to report: "General, our food and grass... were burned."

"What?!"

What Sun Jin was worried about was finally born.

Food and grass were his lifeblood. He rushed back like this to prevent Wei Wuji from burning food and grass.

As a result, I still failed to catch up in time.

"Send people to put out the fire and transport food and grass!"

"yes."

"Wait..." Sun Jin asked: "Where is Wei Wuji? Where is his black armored army?"

"Escape...Escape..."

"..." For a moment, Sun Jin didn't know what to say.

He had tried his best to encircle Wei Wuji, but the enemy's cavalry was farther away than his infantry and could always escape at critical moments.

This is because of his miscommand command, but more importantly, the terrain problem.

Because this area is a hundred miles apart, it is all plains and suitable for cavalry combat.

Wei Wuji's black armored army can come and go freely.

His infantry was slow and he did not have the right terrain to set up ambush and intercept them.

Once the war begins, he can only watch the enemies come and go.

Sun Jin abandoned all the distracting thoughts and ordered the soldier: "Go back and pass on my orders, the soldiers in the battalion should put out all their efforts to put out the fire. Catch the food to transport as much as you can."

"yes."

After the soldiers left.

Sun Jin said to the generals behind him: "Leave 20,000 people, stand by the defensive formation, and echo the troops of the camp from afar. Beware that Wei Wuji will come back and take advantage of the chaos of our army to deal with the heavy damage. The rest of the army will follow me to the west."

"Tell Dong Siyuan again, go back immediately... block the gap in the west, occupy the official road, and arrange defense lines. We must not let Wei Wuji's black armored army escape from our control."

"yes...."

Sun Jin didn't know if he was doing this right.

Should Wei Wuji go back? Reorganize the army and fight again? Or should we do anything to wipe out Wei Wuji?

You know, his current army is in chaos, his food and grass are burned, and his morale is shaken.

However, Wei Wuji's black armored army came and went like the wind and was difficult to bite.

But at this moment, he was consistent with Wei Wuji's previous thoughts, both with a hint of luck.

If Wei Wuji is bitten and Wei Wuji is killed, the war will almost end.

............

When Sun Jin's order was passed on, the army took active action.

Wei Wuji's black armored army burned food and grass and rushed to the west without stopping, hoping to evacuate here as soon as possible.

Walk a hundred miles west.

The Black Armored Army met Dong Siyuan's 50,000 cavalry.

These 50,000 cavalry were almost all the troops of Beiqing Kingdom.

Beiqing Kingdom is backed by the grassland, and the cavalry is very good at fighting.

Their appearance is destined to be a threat to the Black Armored Army.

With a total of 50,000 cavalry, the combat power is definitely above the Black Armor Army.

The two armies stopped after encountering.

Wei Wuji said: "Sun Jin is worthy of being called a Confucian general. His thinking ability is far greater than that of ordinary generals. These 50,000 people have not been withdrawn until now. Obviously, he wants to completely trap us here and find an opportunity to encircle and annihilate us."

"snort."

Xu Chu said: "Lord, don't worry. When we lead the Iron Armored Army to fight, we will definitely destroy the cavalry of Beiqing."

"The Black Armor Army is indeed very powerful in combat. However, when they went to burn food and grass just now, three hundred casualties have been killed and killed. The soldiers are hungry, so it is not appropriate to fight again."

Wei Wuji expanded the map and said after looking at it: "Let's retreat to the south, look for open land to camp, and find an opportunity to break through again."

"this...."

"Listen to me."

"yes."

Xu Chu really wants to fight.

On this wilderness, the Black Armored Army is like a sword that leaves its body, and must be invincible.

But Wei Wuji refused to let him go, so he had to obey his orders.

The sky gradually became darker.

Dong Siyuan sent 30,000 cavalry to pursue the Black Armored Army that fled south.

But in the end, I didn't catch up.

Sun Jin handled the matter in the camp well and rushed to meet Dong Siyuan.

"You did it right. No matter when the troops here can all be withdrawn."

Sun Jin studied the map in Dong Siyuan's camp, and then he said: "Wei Wuji will not stay for too long when he goes south, and he will eventually return here."

"From this plain, hurry back to Hukou Pass. Unless he wants to take the water route, he will return to Chu State first, and then from Chu State to Hukou Pass."

"But it took too long to delay this, and I don't think he would do that."

"Our guarding here is equivalent to sieging him."

"It's just that we just lack the chance to annihilate him."

Dong Siyuan nodded quickly, "Yes, yes... we must destroy him this time!"

"But what should we do next? Just stay here?"

Dong Siyuan didn't think too much about it.

He thought that surrounding Wei Wuji was the best strategy at present, because Sun Jin said so.

But he didn't know, and Sun Jin was helpless.

He was invincible to the imperial edict of Emperor Zhao and Emperor Beiqing, and used several times the troops to attack Chu. He should have been invincible, but who would have thought that the food and grass would be burned before the war began.

He had to seize Wei Wuji before he could explain to Emperor Zhao and Emperor Beiqing.

This is his helplessness. He forced him to fight this battle of encirclement and annihilation.

Of course, he also felt a little lucky in his heart, wanting to destroy Wei Wuji and Xu Chu's black armored army.

This will make it much less difficult when attacking Chu State again.

"Yes, we're just waiting here!"

"You have to know that there are wildernesses in the south and there is no grain to raise. Even if there are villages, it is not enough to supply thousands of people to eat."

"Wei Wuji goes south, he can't hold on for long."

"I believe he will definitely come back within three days."

Sun Jin rubbed his eyebrows and continued, "There is another possibility... he will attack our camp again, but we set up an ambush in advance, and he can't get any advantage. Now... we and him are short of food, it depends on who can hold on."

"I have heard about the burning of food and grass. I wonder how many days of military rations we have?" Dong Siyuan asked.

"Three days. In three days, we must withdraw our troops." Sun Jin said.

"Just three days? Then what will be the end of our plan to attack Chu this time?" Dong Siyuan widened his eyes, unable to believe that this was true.

A thirty-four thousand army was defeated by Wei Wuji and returned in disappointment?

Sun Jin said: "Of course it's not the end. I have sent someone to report the war situation to Emperor Zhao and request to allocate grain to the front line. It is expected that we will arrive in the fifteenth day. We will first return to the border of Zhao and wait for the food and grass to be replenished before attacking."

"oh...."

Dong Siyuan breathed a sigh of relief.

............

Wei Wuji fled south, indeed as Sun Jin expected.

He is facing a very serious problem now, that is, food shortage!

Three thousand soldiers and three thousand war horses, the food and supplies needed are by no means decimal.

The villages and large households along the way cannot supply the army even if they take out all the food.

This caused him to not fight for a long time.

After careful consideration, Wei Wuji decided to go back and fight Dong Siyuan.

Only by defeating Dong Siyuan can you break through the siege.

This is a difficult situation that must be overcome.

The next morning.

The Black Armored Army returned to the important road to the west.

Sun Jin and Dong Siyuan were both there. Fifty thousand cavalrymen occupied all the important roads, and only by passing through their camps could they return to Hukou Pass.

Wei Wuji sent Li Bai to inquire, and there was an ambush in the current camp.
