Although Yuan Jun tried his best to transport the siege equipment, everyone knew that Sun Jun and the Evil Shadow Army would definitely not let them successfully transport the siege equipment to the city lord's palace to launch an attack. Therefore, except for Zhu Ling who commanded the army to siege the city lord's palace, Gao Gan
, Tian Chou. Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Zhang, who are recognized as the strongest, all joined the ranks of escorting siege equipment. Victory or defeat depends on this one move. They can't tolerate any luck!
"Report to the general. I don't know why. Suddenly, plants grew wildly and blocked the way!"
Yan Liang and the other three had just escorted the siege equipment into the streets of Changsha City a few miles away when they received a report from the scouts! Such a strange phenomenon may seem strange to others. However, the three of them had witnessed it as early as Hulao Pass. It was not the case.
It’s surprising. What’s strange is that the entire city of Changsha is paved with marble. How do plants grow?
When Yan Liang and others arrived at the location mentioned by the scout, they found that it was the exact location where the siege equipment was destroyed yesterday. All the marble surfaces within a two-mile radius had been reduced to powder. But now they were covered with dust.
A small sapling was born. And it is still growing crazily at a speed visible to the naked eye. From the moment it was discovered to the time I came to watch it, it was just tea time. The small sapling has become a small tree, almost as tall as a human!
Looking at the surrounding buildings, the narrow streets, and the dense woods in front of them, Yan Liang and the other three looked at each other. This was in the city, not in the wild. Except for walking on the front streets of the city, those alleys did not have enough space for these things.
Huge siege engines march!
Yuan Jun was already prepared to be attacked, so he was fully prepared to escort them. Who knew that the enemy troops had not come, but they used this method to block their way. It was a shameless method, but it was very practical!
"what to do?"
After carefully observing the surroundings, he couldn't find out who the culprit was among the densely packed troops. Wen Chou couldn't help but ask helplessly!
"What else can we do? Call in the engineering team and chop down these trees! Let's see if they grow faster than we can chop them down faster!"
Yan Liang rolled his eyes and said helplessly. The road in front of him is very simple. Either give up, or overturn the building or cut down the woods. No matter what, cutting down these woods is much simpler than razing the buildings!
Zhang next to him was frowning in thought. He felt very bad. But he couldn't figure out why. But he had to admit that activating the woods and blocking the way was indeed a good way!
Soon, tens of thousands of engineering troops were mobilized. Tens of thousands of people worked together to start the impressive felling work in the city. Unfortunately, although there were many people, the space was only so big. Only a few thousand people could do it. Others still
no!
Yuan Jun transported these siege equipment into Changsha City. Because the city wall collapsed and the road was difficult to pass, it took a total of more than three hours. Because the woods blocked the road, it took another two hours to clear it. It was originally planned to take at most half a day.
It took most of the day to transport the siege equipment to the City Lord's Mansion. It was still several miles away from the City Lord's Mansion. They not only had to transport the siege equipment, they also had to clean up the corpses on the road along the way...
It was already the third watch. Fortunately, the moon was rising tonight, the stars were shining brightly, and my vision was clear!
"Boom... crackle..."
Seeing that the woods were about to be cut down, a burst of red dots appeared all over the sky. Then a burst of fire broke out. The only raging fire that could be seen in the city was shooting into the sky. The burning was the trees that had been cut down...
Looking at some of the engineering soldiers who were buried in the sea of fire, Yan Liang and the others were completely speechless. At the same time, they were also filled with regret. Last time outside Hulao Pass, the King of Hanzhong also first stirred up the woods and then burned them with fire. He actually forgot...
"Immortal Master! Immortal Master! Let the Immortal Master put out the fire quickly!"
A certain Yuan Jun general shouted loudly. The "immortal master" he talked about was actually just a player or NPC who knew Fengyun skills...
However, the fire set by Mrs. Zhu Rong could not be so easily extinguished by ordinary Fengyun skills. It took more than an hour for the fire to be suppressed, leaving a lot of charred blackness...
At this time, the sky is already dim and bright. The sun is rising...
"Report to the general! It's bad. Enemy reinforcements are coming!"
After struggling like this for several hours, even the bellicose Yan Liang and Wen Chou were in a depressed mood at this time. They had no hope. The originally planned day had already passed ** hours. Even if there was enough time to capture the city lord's palace,
.It is estimated that there are not that many defense modifications. Will it be recaptured by then? Yuan Jun has no confidence in himself...
At this time, the scouts came to report again. Everyone looked at the endless and calm Dongting Lake. There were densely packed warships of various types, and the warships were approaching at high speed. It was a large area of darkness.
The generals of Yuan Jun watched as black lines appeared and their scalps became numb...
"Fight? Retreat? The battle may not be lost. But it is obviously impossible to capture Changsha City!"
"Evacuate! Evacuate by land toward Anseong. Let's detour to Jiangxia!"
The generals of the Yuan Army were silent for a while. Finally, Zhu Ling sighed and suggested. At this time, the number of reinforcements from the King of Hanzhong was no less than theirs. It was even more. With the same number, no one had the confidence to defeat the King of Hanzhong. At this time
Don’t withdraw. What are you still doing...
"The main reinforcements have arrived! The main reinforcements!"
Yuan Jun discovered the scene on Dongting Lake. Sun Jun, who had been observing on the pavilion, naturally also discovered it. A burst of cheers suddenly started...
"Look. The enemy troops are starting to retreat!"
Cheers came from the pavilion again. Everyone found that the Yuan army that had been besieging them frantically began to retreat in an orderly manner. Because they were deeply afraid of the pursuit of the evil shadow army. Moreover, the reinforcements had just arrived. Yuan army still had time. It was not a defeat, but an ordinary close battle.
The troops go first. The sword and shield soldiers and archers follow behind. In an orderly manner...
Seeing Yuan Jun retreating slowly like a tide, the city lord's palace suddenly erupted into cheers. Some people cried with joy. Some people just sat down. After days of fierce fighting, they were exhausted mentally and physically...
"Uncle! The enemy is retreating. Let's pursue it! Take advantage of the victory and pursue it. Let the enemy have a taste of our power!"
Upon hearing the news of the arrival of reinforcements, Xieying turned over and walked up to the pavilion. As soon as he entered, he heard Sun Ce shouting excitedly and impatiently!
"Pursuit after victory? Have we won? What should we use to pursue?"
As soon as Sun Ce finished speaking, everyone present looked at the King of Hanzhong who had entered the pavilion. Their expressions were complicated! Xie Ying was also stunned. He immediately reacted and blurted out a question!
"Didn't the enemy retreat? Now we still have hundreds of thousands of troops in hand. And they are all elite. They can definitely inflict heavy damage on the enemy!"
When the King of Hanzhong said this, some people's expressions froze and they frowned in thought. But Sun Ce said loudly with undiminished interest!
"The enemy's retreat means we are victorious? What kind of logic is this! And where are the hundreds of thousands of elite troops? Why didn't I see it? I only saw a group of exhausted people who were happy to survive the war! Take Bofu
Let’s talk about it. How much strength can you still exert now? And although the enemy is retreating, it is not panicking. It is obvious that it still has arrangements! The soldiers are also deceitful! What if the enemy uses retreat to cover up and intends to make a final counterattack? Changsha City Passage
It’s blocked. It’s not easy for the troops outside the city to get in. Who knows how long it will take to enter the city?”
The evil shadow spread his hands and blurted out a series of rhetorical questions. Sun Ce was speechless. His lips trembled, but he couldn't say anything! In fact, what Sun Ce meant just now was that he wanted the evil shadow army to assist in the pursuit. He did not want to rely on his own remnants.
With the evil shadow army showing strength, it is obviously not a problem to continue fighting. It would be even more perfect if they could chase after them and take advantage of the situation to recover what they lost! But the King of Hanzhong obviously did not intend to pursue him. What can Sun Ce do?
"Bo Fu! What my uncle said makes sense. Although the enemy has retreated, there are still hundreds of thousands of troops. It is difficult for the troops outside the city to enter the city. There are not many troops inside the city. It is enough to be able to defend Changsha. It is really not suitable to pursue!"
The expressions of Sun Ce's generals changed several times. They all had their own thoughts. The enemy troops retreated. The King of Hanzhong seemed not as happy and excited as everyone else! Finally, Chen Xilian smiled and said. As for the "Uncle", I don't know if he was referring to Sun Ce.
.It’s what she calls herself! Xie Ying is Sun Jian’s adopted brother. She is Sun Jian’s wife. It’s appropriate to call Xie Ying “uncle”!
"The naval force outside the city is mainly to scare away the enemy troops. And they are all naval forces. They are not necessarily the opponents of Yuan's army in land battles!"
The evil shadow glanced at the legendary "Wu Guotai" with a half-smile, then said with a smile. He paused, looked around the crowd with meaningful eyes, and slowly continued:
"Of course. In order to avoid anyone saying that I have evil intentions, I will occupy the magpie's nest. The navy outside the city will not step into the land! When you stabilize Changsha and the situation is certain, I will withdraw the troops. You should seize the time to make corrections.
Replenish the army, repair Changsha City, and prevent Yuan Jun from coming back again!"
After saying that, Xie Ying stopped talking nonsense. He nodded to Guo Jia and Jia Xu who were beside Chen Xili, and then turned around and went downstairs. The Xie Ying generals present were stunned for a moment, and immediately hurried to catch up...
Looking at the back of the figure who seemed determined and left ruthlessly, the expressions of everyone in the pavilion changed. Everyone had their own thoughts. Gu Zheng, Zhu Ye and other people who had the biggest objections at the beginning even had faces like pig liver. They buried their heads deep in thought...
The first reaction was that the debate about the King of Hanzhong in the council chamber was known to the King of Hanzhong. So he was expressing an attitude. He not only expressed that he had no idea about Jiangnan, but also expressed his dissatisfaction with everyone in the Sun family...
"Why……"
With a sigh, Chen Xili turned around and looked at the scenery outside the building again. The once prosperous and glorious Changsha City was now surrounded by wars and the buildings were in ruins. There were less than 100,000 troops left in the city. Looking at the cities in the south of the Yangtze River that were still in Yuan Shao's hands, he was watching with eager eyes.
Yuan Shaohe's warlord Fang. Chen Xilian felt helpless in her heart. Her future was bleak!
The only hope for the revival of the Sun family is that young and arrogant figure. But now he has been blamed. And he has clearly stated that he has no idea about Jiangnan and will not interfere in Jiangnan's affairs...
The King of Hanzhong cannot be restrained. The Sun family is hopeless!
But how to tie it? Looking at ancient and modern times, there is not enough benefit. The simplest and most effective method is marriage. And it is especially effective for the King of Hanzhong...
But except for Sun Ren, a minor in the Sun family, she is the only one...
There are too many problems. Life is too boring...
Her plump and exquisite mature body showed confusion in her eyes. Her thoughts were complicated. If she really did that, how would she face the eyes of the world? Besides, it was hard to say whether the King of Hanzhong wanted him or not. But he was so lustful...
