When Jin Yao returned to Dragon City with his army, Chen Xian was waiting at the city gate with a face full of eagerness. He was relieved when he saw the army's triumphant return.
When the entire Chu army was dispatched, the navy patrolling the Yangtze River discovered it immediately, but had no time to notify Jin Yao. They had to send the information back to Longcheng first, and then sent it to the front line from Longcheng.
However, the scouts did not report, which made the entire city lord's palace feel gloomy and gloomy, fearing that any accident would occur.
"Where is Lord Long?" Chen Xian looked at Wu Rui who was leading his army back and asked hurriedly.
"Your Majesty received the information you sent and decided to conduct another sneak attack!" Wu Rui said with a smile.
"Did you win?" Chen Xian then noticed that there were many prisoners of the Chu army among the army.
"There was an accident and we couldn't completely wipe out the opponent!" Wu Rui said with some pity.
If it weren't for the 30,000 ambushing troops behind them, they would have been sure to keep all the Chu army's vanguard camp behind. Unfortunately, with such a surprise force appearing behind them, they could only beat the enemy to death with hatred and let go of part of the vanguard camp.
soldiers.
Wu Rui briefly explained the course of the war, and Chen Xian was frightened for a while. If there were more ambushes and the main force of the Chu army arrived, they might not be able to say goodbye to each other forever.
"Fortunately, God Taiyi has blessed me!" Chen Xian couldn't help but rejoice.
"You said that Your Majesty didn't return with you, and you still want to make a sneak attack?" Chen Xian then asked the key information.
"Well, your Majesty analyzed that Xiang Yan must have just received the information from Anlu and came in a hurry with his army, so he directly brought five thousand dragon guards with the help of the navy and went down the river from Pengze to attack Songyang.
Yes!" Wu Rui nodded and said.
Chen Xian didn't say any more. Even if the sneak attack failed, we could safely retreat with the navy's ships.
And Jin Yao led five thousand soldiers and naval forces straight to Anlu along the river, which was much faster than Xiang Yan's return.
Xiang Yan, who attacked in a hurry, had no time to deploy the rear defense line, and all the food, grass and baggage were still left outside the ruins of Songyang City.
"It's developed!" Jin Yao looked at the granaries and baggage warehouses, decisively led his troops to land, and stormed the baggage camp.
Then scouts were sent to monitor the movements of Xiang Yan's army, and before Xiang Yan's army rushed back, they loaded the grain, grass and baggage onto the ship.
However, Xiang Yan was also worried about the instability in the rear, so he sent a group of cavalry to rush back first, and then met Jin Yao and his party who were carrying grain and grass baggage.
"No, no, no, burn it all!" Jin Yao ordered with some heartache to burn all the grain, grass and baggage that could not be moved.
The returning cavalry saw a fire in the baggage camp and could not take care of Jin Yao and his party. They had to return to the army station to rescue grain, grass and baggage.
"Slip away, slip away!" Jin Yao did not dare to fight with the cavalry, and directly led the army back to the ship, and then returned with a full load.
Xiang Yan, who returned to Songyang Station, looked at the burned granary and baggage with an ugly face, and her desire to kill Ji Bu increased.
If there hadn't been a delay in Ji Bu's intelligence, why would they have done this.
Delay, delay, generally refers to the delay of information, leading to mistakes!
As a result, Ji Bu did his best and directly explained the delay. The delay was wrong!
"Songyang can't stay any longer! Withdraw!" Looking at the food, grass and baggage rescued by the cavalry who came back first, Xiang Yan could only abandon the front line of Songyang and withdraw to the rear.
Otherwise, they may not be able to wait for the next batch of supplies to arrive.
However, there is a saying that if you endure for a while, the sea will be calm, and if you take a step back, the sea and the sky will be brighter!
As soon as the Chu army retreated, the Dragon Guard stepped on the nose and pressed forward. The army immediately appeared in Songyang, changing the battlefield back to what it was before the war started.
"****" After Xiang Yan received the movements of the Dragon City army, he became more and more angry as he thought about it, but there was nothing he could do.
This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that the road they built was about to reach Dragon City, but it failed. However, Dragon City actually took the initiative to build the remaining half of the road, allowing the Dragon City army to advance and retreat.
freely.
——
"It seems we can't go back!"
However, Xiang Yan has not yet received the even greater bad news.
Anlu's Shadow Tiger Army was still thinking about whether to continue rushing to Dragon City or return to the Chinese army's tent, but the result was that the Qin army sent troops again.
Wang Ben led an army of fifty thousand to block their retreat.
"We can't join the war, but we can still do it by blocking the opponent's withdrawal!" Wang Ben said with a smile to the guards around him.
They also received a transfer order not long ago, allowing them to come from South Korea and block the Shadow Tiger Army's retreat path.
There is no need for them to annihilate the Shadow Tiger Legion, it is enough not to allow the Shadow Tiger Legion to return to the central army.
Naturally, Wang Ben readily agreed to this request. Although their main task was to guard South Korea, they were stuck for ten days and a half, so the impact was not big.
"Do you think we can still survive even if we go back?" Ji Bu also woke up and looked at his staff.
Everyone in the Shadow Tiger Legion also fell silent. They also received the information from the Chinese Army.
"These guys, if they want to kill us, just say it. If they want to offend us, just say it. But what are you talking about? The Qin army has 70,000 people!" The other generals of the Shadow Tiger Army said angrily.
The delay in intelligence allowed the Qin army to slip away from them. They admitted this mistake.
But even so, 80,000 people beat 60,000 people, and 30,000 people were annihilated, and 20,000 people were defeated. Is this something that humans can do?
Forget it, I can't beat him, so I have to blame him by saying that he was ambushed by 100,000 people, and put the blame on them!
"What about the famous general second only to Li Mu? Xiang Yan has attacked Dragon City so many times, but every time he succeeded, the Thunder Leopard Army and the Tenglong Army were all included."
"You just don't have any self-awareness, so if you lose, you will blame us!"
The hearts of the entire Shadow Tiger Army were filled with excitement.
They just made a mistake this time, and as a result they had to bear all the blame for the defeat of the entire war.
When the Dragon Soaring Legion was completely wiped out, if their Shadow Tiger Legion hadn't surrounded them and threatened Songyang City, Xiang Yan might have been killed.
As a result, the blame is now being thrown on their heads. How can they accept this!
Ji Bu was also very angry. He admitted that he made a mistake in letting the Qin army go, but he did not admit that the army suffered a defeat.
It doesn't make sense that you, Xiang Yan, were responsible for the failure, yet you want the Shadow Tiger Army to take the blame.
"General, the envoy of the Dragon Lord wants to see you!" However, just when the crowd was excited, a guard broke into the camp.
"Dragon Lord's envoy?" The entire camp was quiet. I don't know why Longcheng would send an envoy to see them at this time.
"Please!" Ji Bu hesitated for a moment, then asked his personal guards to bring in the envoy from Longcheng.
Wu Rui walked leisurely towards the camp without any panic.
"It's you!" Ji Bu naturally recognized Wu Rui, but he didn't expect that the Dragon Lord's envoy would be Wu Rui.
