"Xiang Yan's strategic mission has been completed, but in order to complete this mission, he also placed his army between Longcheng and Zhu and Hubei. So, the next thing the Chu army has to do is... escape back!" Wang Jian
He looked at the generals who had returned and said.
Ji Bu, Ying Bu, and Wang Ben all nodded, especially Ying Bu and Ji Bu. They really felt that the battle went so smoothly.
There is no trace of the worry and desperate struggle that they had before. They are completely defeating the opponent with large numbers of troops and types of troops. There is no challenge at all.
However, the result of this is that their robes can survive to the greatest extent.
"Now let's see if Dragon City can react, go out to fight, block the Chu army under Dragon City, and cut off the opponent's way back!" Wang Jian looked at Ying Bu and Ji Bu.
Yingbu and Jibu naturally knew what Wang Jian meant, which was for them to notify Longcheng, go out to fight, and keep all Chu troops here.
"I will summon Dragon City immediately, but how to choose the time and place for the battle?" Yingbu asked.
Wang Jian thought for a while and realized that it was indeed impossible to confirm the time. After all, he was not Li Mu and could plan the battlefield beyond the timeline.
If Longcheng goes out to fight and they fail to follow, then Longcheng is in danger of falling.
And if they pursue the Chu army and Longcheng fails to stop them immediately, they will let the Chu army go.
This is still the best estimate. If they go to war with Xiang Yan, and Longcheng does not rush to help immediately, these people they have may not be able to defeat Xiang Yan, and it will also lead to the annihilation of the entire Longwei army.
.
Therefore, the fighter plane and location must be calculated correctly, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.
"Actually, we don't have to worry about this!" Wang Ben said suddenly.
"Long Jun himself is also a master of the art of war. He must be able to detect changes on the battlefield and respond immediately. What we have to do is to hold back the Chu army and wait for the Dragon City army to arrive and attack from both front and rear!" Wang Ben continued.
Yingbu and Jibu looked at each other. Yes, especially Yingbu. His fighting skills were taught by your superior, and he would definitely be able to detect clues and send troops to help as soon as possible.
"Then I will write it truthfully. As for when to send out troops, I will let you decide by yourself!" Yingbu looked at Wang Jian and asked.
"Okay!" Wang Jian nodded.
If the entire army of Dragon Guard or Dragon City is annihilated, he cannot bear this responsibility. Therefore, Yingbu's writing is equivalent to handing over the choice to Jin Yao. If any accident occurs, he will bear the corresponding responsibility.
Much less.
The Mo family's Xuanniao sent the message three times, and the information from the outside world was quickly transmitted back to Dragon City.
"General Yingbu sent a message!" Chen Xian immediately hurriedly rushed to the city lord's mansion with the intelligence sent back from outside the city.
Jin Yao also hurriedly took the small letter from Chen Xian's hand and pieced it together into complete information.
"How?" Everyone in the city was waiting anxiously.
They have lost contact with the outside world for more than three months, and no one knows what the outside world is like now.
"As we expected, Xiang Yan retreated to the next best thing and wanted to destroy the entire Jiujiang and Dongting!" Jin Yao read the information carefully and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Then what?" Others were still worried about whether Yingbu and Jibu could defeat Xiang Yan.
"Generals Ji Bu and Yingbu are not Xiang Yan's opponents. They were led by Xiang Yan in the early stage!" Jin Yao continued.
"This..." Everyone had an ominous premonition, but there was nothing they could do.
"So, they are not stupid enough to go to Wuguan and invite Wang Jian, Wang Ben and his son to come and help!" Jin Yao said with a smile.
"Ah?" Everyone was in a state of confusion.
"Xiang Yan wanted to destroy Jiujiang Dongting, so Wang Jian beat the Chu army painfully. In the battle for the county, although Jiujiang Dongting suffered heavy losses, the Chu army also suffered heavy losses, so now Xiang Yan has to take back all the troops!"
Jin Yao continued.
"Wang Jian and Wang Ben plan to keep all the Chu army under Dragon City, so they hope that we will cooperate with the Dragon Guard and Shadow Tiger Army to cut off the Chu army's retreat!" Jin Yao read all the information.
"Leave Xiang Yan and the Chu army under Dragon City?" Wu Rui and Chen Xian frowned.
Even if Xiang Yan suffered heavy losses, his military strength was twice that of Longcheng.
Unless the Dragon Guard and Shadow Tiger Legions join forces with Dragon City, it will be difficult to compare with the Chu Army.
"Is Xiang Yan going to retreat now?" Wu Rui and Chen Xian also saw from the intelligence that the Chu army was going to withdraw!
"Come when you want, leave when you want, what do you think I am, Dragon City?" Jin Yao crushed the information coldly.
"But in this case, we have to go out of the city to fight. If Wang Jian and Wang Ben are not able to rush to the battlefield in time, then we will be completely wiped out by the Chu army!" Wu Rui said hesitantly.
"Dragon City and Zhu, Hubei are only a day's journey away. Even if Wang Jian and Wang Ben are tortoises, they have to crawl there!" Jin Yao said calmly.
He was not familiar with Wang Jian, but he was familiar with Wang Ben. There was no way he would make such a mistake!
"Send the order, make food tomorrow at the third watch, and leave the city at the fifth watch to block the Chu army's return path!" Jin Yao directly issued the military order without a trace of hesitation.
In the Chu army's camp, Xiang Yan finally felt a little comfortable. After being out for so long, he finally achieved his strategic goal. Now it's time for the army to return to the court!
"Will Dragon City suddenly leave the city and cut off our retreat?" Chang Shi asked still worriedly.
"Dragon City doesn't dare!" Xiang Yan said arrogantly.
"If Lord Long really dares to go out to fight in the city, I won't mind completely destroying Dragon City and capturing it!"
Chang Shi looked at the confident Xiang Yan and said nothing more.
Dragon City now has less than 80,000 troops, leaving only what is needed to defend the city, and only 50,000 can really get out of the city.
Fifty thousand people is a lot? It is indeed a lot!
But compared to Xiang Yan, who has an army of more than 200,000, it is very small!
Therefore, even Xiang Yan's staff did not believe that Longcheng dared to leave the city and cut off their retreat. In that case, they could press the entire army, annihilate all the troops leaving the city, and take advantage of the situation to capture Longcheng!
"It's been so long, everyone seems to have forgotten that I was once a great son of the Mohist family!" Under the night light, Jin Yao stood on the city gate, looking at the three battalions of 60,000 Chu troops who were trapped outside the city.
Man, smiled coldly.
Turning around, under the gate of Dragon City, covered by broad strips of red, blue and white cloth, ferocious beasts were being maintained in an orderly manner.
"Are you all ready?" Jin Yao looked at the dandies brought back from Qin around him.
"These days, everyone has learned how to control the white tiger mechanism!" Baili Yun said with a smile.
"Then it's up to you tomorrow!" Jin Yao smiled and nodded.
It’s not like Dragon City has done nothing these days. Instead, it has transformed the city’s workshops into assembly lines, producing twelve machine-made White Tigers!
