Not only him, but at least everyone present and surviving was numb.
They watched helplessly as the infantry formation behind them was easily cut by the enemy, but at least the casualties were stabilized... The guys did not contend with the monster brainlessly, knowing that the most important thing at the moment was to retreat——
However, when the monster suddenly stopped...all the stability seemed to be an illusion.
The next moment, the crossbow arrows poured out like a torrential rain and spread mercilessly on the battlefield.
Suddenly, the so-called knowledge and attempts have become a joke. Is the monster inconvenient to move?
Can you survive just by taking a detour?
all fake.
Chen Dao saw it clearly. From the monster's outer armor, a series of dense holes were revealed at some point, and in the holes, there seemed to be a crossbow that was pouring out firepower——
In fact, at this moment, the truth of the matter has come to light.
First there are strange inventions, then there are combat methods that subvert common sense, and finally with someone's iconic invented weapon, the initiator of everything is about to be revealed.
"Yi...Yi Xiaotian..."
These words came out slowly from Chen Dao's mouth.
At the same time, Zhuge Liang, who was not far away, also understood...
"It's...it's you again, Yi Xiaotian! You...why are you always able to..."
Zhuge Liang grabbed the Lun scarf on his head and threw it to the ground angrily and desperately. He kept spitting out negative words such as "abominable" and "I will die from heaven".
He really had no choice.
Who would have thought that after Yi Xiaotian had been fighting against him for so many days, there had even been such a clever plan as the bombing of an empty city - yes, it was "bombing". Apart from this word, Zhuge Liang could not find any other word to describe it.
Yesterday, Yi Xiaotian and others talked about their plans.
Yi Xiaotian has been setting it up for so long, but at this moment, he still retains such terrifying combat effectiveness.
He once thought that yesterday's anxiety was just a scene disguised by Yi Xiaotian, but the fact is... Piling City is still short of troops, but... the monster sent out suddenly by the other party is really too shocking - no matter in
In terms of performance, it is still based on actual combat capabilities.
What followed was truly a one-sided massacre.
No matter how hard Chen Dao and Zhuge Liang tried to cover the evacuation of their own troops, they were still unable to withstand the enemy's attack.
Unexpectedly...Zhuge Liang really didn't expect that the originally tense siege battle would be suddenly disrupted by a group of monsters near noon.
but--
The order to evacuate remains unchanged.
I don't know how long it took, but Chen Daojun, who was left with only a few defeated soldiers, finally joined up with the larger army. Zhuge Liang just looked at it and already understood how much they had paid for this one-sided massacre.
Ten thousand?
No... there should be more... Chen Dao's cavalry is the most complete one, but the infantry behind him is terrible compared to before the battle, and there is not even one out of ten——
According to later records, in this battle in which chariots truly entered the stage of history, the battle loss ratio fought by Jiangdong was 1:54.
In fact, not even one of the chariots was lost in a single battle - the Jiangdong people defended Piling, and finally killed tens of thousands of Liu Bei's elite troops with less than 2,000 casualties.
Of course...that's all for later.
At the moment, Liu Bei did not hesitate at all after joining forces. It was precisely because he knew the decisiveness of the opponent's attack that he understood more clearly that Pang Tong's countermeasures were correct. The entire Jiangdong today was Yi Xiaotian's fault. It was a complete
It was a plan to drive them all away——
There is no room for hesitation.
Zhuge Liang gritted his teeth and chose to temporarily change his course in grief - if he still insisted on marching north and rendezvoused with the navy, he would only be forced into a dead end by the other side. Fortunately, he had given Wu Ban Chen Shi's order.
On the road, if they wanted to withdraw, no one would be able to stop them.
As for joining forces, we can only find other ways.
"We are in the direction of Yangxian! The Jiangdong people probably still have a lot of fighting strength in the north along the river. Shiyuan said in the letter that south of the center line of the other side with Xindu as the boundary are areas with weaker defenses. Of course... the other side is expecting us.
Don’t dare to divide your troops and occupy those empty cities——”
"It seems that Yi Xiaotian has already figured it out..."
"But... because of this, if we can't reach Jianye by taking the middle line, we still have the possibility of evacuating Jiangdong! Chen is here! Cover the rear army, let's go, we can't waste time with them anymore!"
It is rare for Zhuge Liang to say so many words, and it can be seen that he is indeed very nervous now.
After a series of analyses, I chose a path that seemed more hidden and safer. The key was...
Zhuge Liang had a guess in his mind, but it wasn't time to talk about it yet.
When Chen Dao heard Zhuge Liang mention Pang Tong's name, he had already fled back to the army in embarrassment. He no longer had any doubts about Ming Jin's withdrawal of troops, but he still didn't understand... What changes happened in the army that caused Zhuge Liang to change like this?
Looking at it now...I'm afraid...
"Commander...Commander Pang, he..."
"Chen arrived! Now is not the time to talk about this!"
"yes!"
Chen Dao gritted his teeth, already having a bad premonition in his heart, but the more this happened, the more he understood that he had to retreat.
——
On the battlefield, there is no trace of the enemy now - only the miserable corpses of the enemy are scattered everywhere.
Seeing the enemy's army changing direction and accelerating its retreat toward the southwest, a chariot stopped.
In other words... they had to stop.
Click... click.
The chariot moved its body, which should have been very agile, and various strange collision sounds came from inside.
After a sigh came from inside, someone opened the door to the top of the cabin and poked his head out.
"It's no longer possible. It seems to be excessively worn and we can no longer pursue it."
"Where are they, sir?"
"General, it's not far behind! Coming soon!"
Several tanks in a row stopped, and Lu Xun gave the order to stop all the remaining tanks, just waiting for the chasing troops from Piling City to arrive.
Not long after, a group of carriages escorted by Zhu Ran and Lu Meng rushed to the scene, and then the defenders from Piling City gradually came to the scene.
"gentlemen!"
Lu Xun hurriedly got out of the chariot and came to the carriage. He lifted the curtain and the figure revealed was naturally Yi Xiaotian.
"Bo Yan, how is the chariot?"
Yi Xiaotian saw Lu Xun stop on his own. Although the enemy was some distance away, it was not impossible to pursue him. There could only be something wrong with the chariot.
"It seems that the internal parts are worn out. No matter how hard I try, I can't move anymore... The battle just now was so fierce that the blades of the swords and guns were curled, and the crossbow bolts were all used up."
Expecting this to be the case, Yi Xiaotian waved his hand and affirmed Lu Xun:
"It's enough. It's just the first battle that has such an effect. There is no doubt about the excellence of the chariot. Let's leave it to the two generals Zhu Ran and Lu Meng..."
"Uh-huh, uh-huh!"
"Be honest with me! Don't think I dare not beat you!"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
While everyone was communicating and discussing how to pursue the enemy next, a strange conversation came from inside the car.
Lu Xun didn't know what had happened in the city before, so he naturally looked at Yi Xiaotian in confusion.
As a result... Sun Quan poked his head out of the car again and said to Yi Xiaotian:
"Ahem...Yi Xiaotian...Pang Tong seems to be a little restless...I don't think I can catch up with them, so why not leave them in the city first and fight with..."
Having said this, Sun Quan suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing.
