"Trouble!" Xiang Yan was extremely anxious in her heart, but she didn't dare to show any nervousness on her face.
The appearance of the white tiger disrupted all his plans.
There are not many machine beasts in the world that can restrain the white tiger as a battlefield weapon. The Mohist machine is made of wood and stone, and bronze opens its mouth. You have to ask Gongshu.
Therefore, as the sworn enemy of the Mo family's mechanism technique, the overbearing mechanism technique, the Gongshu family must also have a mechanism beast that can restrain the white tiger.
But the problem also arises, regardless of whether they can wait for the Gongshu family to send the mechanism beast to restrain the white tiger, just because the Gongshu family entered Qin and became the nobles of the Qin State, it is impossible for them to get the mechanism beast to restrain the white tiger from the Gongshu family.
beast.
"Can't the whole army return under the escort of catapults, bed crossbows and siege crossbows?" Chang Shi suddenly asked.
Xiang Yan looked at Chang Shi and was silent for a long time before saying, "If I remember correctly, you are Li Yuan's nephew, right?"
"Ah? Yes! What's wrong?" Chang Shi nodded. His uncle was Li Yuan, the current magistrate of Chu State.
"No wonder!" Xiang Yan sighed.
Catapults, bed crossbows and siege crossbows are all fixed large-scale engineering equipment. Although they are not immovable, the speed of movement...
For example, it is faster than a snail!
Relying on catapults, bed crossbows and siege crossbows to clear the way, it will be impossible to reach the boundaries of Dragon City until next autumn harvest.
"It's not impossible!" After all, Xiang Yan was the one who took care of everything.
After all, he is not the one who controls the whole army, he also has to take care of other people's emotions, especially since he did not capture Dragon City this time, and he still doesn't know how these people will impeach him after he returns.
Therefore, even though Xiang Yan knew that Chang Shi was incompetent, he still tried his best to help Fang Yuan go back.
As a result, the entire Chu army marched like this.
The army is marching forward, while large equipment such as catapults, siege crossbows, and bed crossbows cover the rear, allowing the army to move within the attack range of the catapults, siege crossbows, and bed crossbows.
"Are they not afraid of accidental injury?" Jin Yao looked at the Chu army's movements and felt a little confused.
Even if catapults, bed crossbows and siege crossbows can threaten the White Tiger, the accuracy of these things is really impressive. I am afraid that if they fail to hit the White Tiger, more than half of their own people will be killed or injured.
Especially bed crossbows, siege crossbows, and these large crossbows are different from ordinary crossbows. Ordinary crossbows shoot, but these two shoot flatly!
To put it simply, before hurting the enemy, one of your own will be killed first!
"It's really hard to understand!" Wu Rui also expressed confusion.
"Something's wrong!" Jin Yao suddenly thought that Xiang Yan could not make such a mistake.
"Shoot upward!" Jing Ke suddenly said.
"Looking up?" Jin Yao and Wu Rui were both stunned for a moment.
Shoot upward with bed crossbows and siege crossbows?
They are really not sure about this. It is not impossible to shoot these two things upward, and they are also lethal. The problem is, if these two things are shot upward, who knows where the crossbow arrows will fly!
It's not like the rain of arrows that cleans the ground without the need for accurate aiming. These two things can only fire one arrow at a time and cannot cover a large area at all.
"Just aim at the white tiger. Don't worry about who is in front of you. Even if it's my general, as long as you can aim at the white tiger, just shoot for me!" Xiang Yan didn't intend to shoot upward at all, it was still a flat shot, but he didn't care whether it was possible or not.
Inadvertently hurting one's own people.
He was betting that Dragon City would not want to suffer heavy casualties!
"To accept or not to accept?" The choice was left to Longcheng.
The Chu army is approaching. If they engage in battle, preparations must begin now.
Jin Yao was also hesitant, completely confused as to what Xiang Yan wanted to do with this suicidal attack.
"If you don't answer, wait until they get out of the range of the catapult, bed crossbow and siege crossbow!" Jin Yao hesitated again and again and chose to retreat instead of engaging the Chu army.
"The bet was right!" Xiang Yan breathed a sigh of relief and ordered again, stopping in front of the performance range of bed crossbows, siege crossbows and catapults, and then ordered the heavy battalion to move the catapults, bed crossbows and siege crossbows forward.
Move to the current location of the army and force the Dragon City army to retreat again.
"Fighting with all your might!" Jin Yao and others naturally saw the Chu army moving their catapults, bed crossbows, and siege crossbows forward.
I finally understood what Xiang Yan wanted to do, which was to risk his life with them. As long as they dared to fight, the catapults, bed crossbows and siege crossbows would kill the white tiger at all costs, and then use their superior strength to fight with them.
Start the decisive battle.
"I understand, I understand, but even so, how much can they travel every day?" Wu Rui still frowned in confusion.
The catapults, bed crossbows and siege crossbows moved at an outrageous speed. It was impossible for the Chu army to get through the Dragon City by traveling at such a slow pace.
By the time they climbed out of Dragon City, the Dragon Guards and Shadow Tiger Legion from Bi'e behind them had already arrived.
"I suspect that someone is taking care of them!" Jin Yao frowned, always feeling that he had overlooked something, but he couldn't remember it.
However, Jin Yao soon realized what he had overlooked!
"We have received a secret report that there is a large army mobilization in Shouchun, and the target is Dragon City!" Jing salamander and Hei Bai Xuanjian found Jin Yao with a piece of information that should be sent back from the Qin Dynasty.
"There are still soldiers available in Shouchun?" Wu Rui was even more surprised.
"Shuchun doesn't have it, so does Longcheng have it?" Jin Yao understood.
This is Xiong Qi personally leading the Royal Guards to come to support!
As he said, Shouchun has no soldiers, but Dragon City is also gone.
If they continue to have a stalemate with Xiang Yan here, Xiong Qi will definitely pull out Dragon City and trap them in the middle.
By then, even if the Dragon Guards rush to the battlefield, they will be defeated by the Chu army with their superior strength!
"Withdraw!" Jin Yao sighed.
After all, Dragon City is not as huge as the Chu State. As the king of Chu, Xiong Qi can issue recruitment orders at any time to recruit large armies, and all the available soldiers in Dragon City are already here.
"Why did Longcheng withdraw its troops?" Xiang Yan was also a little surprised. He did provide support, but it was not Xiong Qi!
"Why did your Majesty withdraw?" Yingbu, Jibu and Wang Ben, who had received intelligence from the front line and led their troops to the battlefield under the command of Wang Jian, all looked confused.
I thought I could keep Xiang Yan here, but who knew that Longcheng actually withdrew into the city.
"I'm afraid something happened in Dragon City, and Lord Long had to retreat!" Wang Jian guessed the general reason.
Jin Yao led his army back to Longcheng, and could only watch helplessly as Xiang Yan led his army to withdraw under his nose, but he did not dare to do anything to stop him.
Because Chen Xian's intelligence has shown that Xiong Qi personally led an army of 50,000 people to Songyang City. If they dare to go out of the city to stop Xiang Yan, then Xiong Qi will dare to attack Longcheng directly!
"I'm so unwilling!" Baili Yunlong City General smashed the eucalyptus in front of him angrily.
They were clearly just one step away from being able to keep Xiang Yan and the Chu army in Longcheng, but they didn't expect that Xiong Qi would actually lead an army to support him!
