Chapter 1671 Abandoning the city to protect the army
Wu Qi saw that the generals were incapable of fighting and that no one could stop the Chu army from attacking the city. Wu Qi decided to give up the battle to protect the city. He had a plan in mind and began to issue orders.
"Close the city gate and lock the city gate immediately!"
"The drums are beating and the gold is ringing, and the troops are sending a message to the troops outside the city to withdraw to Sifang Pass and no longer be entangled with the Chu army!"
Wu Qi was unwilling to give up, but he did not lose his fighting spirit. The failure of this battle ignited the anger in his heart. The days are long and he will definitely compete with the Chu army.
Suddenly.
War drums sounded from the top of the city, resounding throughout the world. The defenders at the city gate ordered the city gate to be closed, and the messengers held their flags high and swayed wildly.
Bai Qi looked toward the city following the sound and saw the enemy's ordering soldiers ordered to withdraw. He turned back and shouted at Yang Youji: "General Yang, shoot the enemy's ordering soldiers with arrows!"
Hear the sound.
The four generals Yang Youji, Hua Rong, Zhebie, and Li Guang raised their bows and arrows at the same time, pointing directly at the city. A sound of breaking wind spread, and the enemy soldiers fell down from the city.
Phew~
Phew~
Phew~
Immediately after Hua Rong, Zhe Farewell, and Li Guangsan fired arrows to kill the messengers who came to the city one after another. Yang Kan and Wen Zhong looked back, picked up the reins, returned to their horses, and led the army to charge towards the right side of the city.
Yang Kan, Wen Zhong, and Wu Qi are known as the Three Treasures of Taixu. They know each other very well. At the current battlefield situation, the Heaven Devouring Army has several times the number of soldiers and horses than Chu.
But the city gate was lost, and the generals had no way to recover. They knew that Wu Qi wanted to abandon the city to protect the army and leave the green hills. They were not afraid of running out of firewood. If they entered Sifang Pass and regrouped, they could make a comeback.
The two men understood Wu Qi's intention and led the army to rush towards Xian Zhen. As they advanced, Yang Kan roared loudly, echoing in the sky and earth. The soldiers of the three armies followed the sound, fought and retreated, and rushed towards Sifang Pass.
.
Shivaji, the bright king of the left wing, realized that the situation was not good, so he led his army to avoid entanglement with the seven sons of the Yang family, raised his whip and mounted his horse, and rushed towards the end of the wilderness in a mighty manner.
This was Shivaji's second battle with the Chu army, and it ended in failure. He originally thought that with Wu Qi's careful deployment, he could defeat the Chu army and even annihilate them.
Now it seems that some of them are just delusions. The Chu army was defeated again with several times the strength. Shivaji couldn't help but feel a little shaken in his heart. He didn't know whether he was right or wrong in coming to the Heaven Devouring Empire. He was really worried that all the Royal Court Army under his command would be buried.
A foreign country.
"Withdraw~"
"Send the order, evacuate immediately!"
Shivaji shouted loudly, waved his weapons and killed the Chu troops who were rushing forward from both sides, clapped his legs on the horse, accelerated his speed and galloped away.
The Heaven-Devouring army began to retreat. Zhuge Liang sent an order to the Chu army to take advantage of the victory to stop the attack and kill the Heaven-Eating enemy forces as much as possible. This battle was to inflict heavy damage on them.
The Sky Devouring Soldiers will be completely defeated in the first battle, which will leave a mark on their psychology and spirit of fearing the Chu army. Even if they come back in the future, they will be defeated generals and have nothing to fear.
The army swept through the sky and the earth like a tornado, raising thousands of feet of smoke and dust. After about two hours, the sound of the clash of gold and steel gradually disappeared from the sky and the earth.
at this time.
Generals Gao Shun and Qu Yi have led the army to break through Zhanwang City. Zhuge Liang and Liu Bowen stand proudly on the chariots, and the army marches towards the city in a mighty manner.
After entering the city, smoke billowed into the sky between the buildings in the distance. Zhuge Liang chuckled, knowing that the place where the smoke rose must be where the enemy's food and grass were stored.
"Wu Qi will definitely hold a grudge if he loses in this battle, and future confrontations will probably be even more difficult."
Wu Qi left and ordered his soldiers to burn the food and grass in the city. Obviously, he did not want the food and grass to fall into the hands of the Chu army. Zhuge Liang knew Wu Qi's ability in his heart. The reason why he lost this battle was that he did not understand the Chu army.
This can prove that Wu Qi, Wen Zhong, and Yang Kan had just joined the Heaven-Devouring Army. After that, Wu Qi would not make such a mistake again in order to avenge his previous shame and confront the Chu army again.
"Gao Shun and Qu Yi obeyed the order and surrendered to the camp. They first boarded the dead soldiers to guard the four city gates. At the same time, they eliminated the fish that had slipped through the net in the city. Remember not to disturb or harm the people."
Zhanwang City originally belonged to the Taixu Empire. It first fell to the Devouring Sky and was now occupied by the Chu Army. The people have been living in the flames of war. They are all innocent people. Zhuge Liang does not want the arrival of the Chu Army to bring confusion and fear to them.
.
The four generals Gao Shun, Qu Yi, Nangong Yong, and Xuanyuan Bao were ordered to leave. Zhuge Liang had already got off the chariot and sent a message to the scouts to inform the four commanders that as long as the enemy troops approached Sifang Pass, the army would return immediately.
Prolonged fighting will lead to decline, and we don’t know the other arrangements of the Heaven-Devouring Emperor. Sifangguan is definitely not a place where the Heaven-Devouring Army will stay for a long time. They will go to Taichu City as quickly as possible.
At the moment, we can only wait for the news that Xiang Yu, Qi Jiguang, and Zhou Yu have captured the Aurora and Dragon Phoenix cities, so that the three armies can go hand in hand and arrive at Taichu City.
In the land of Devouring Heaven, nine times out of ten, there is only Taichu City left. I don’t know how Emperor Devouring Heaven will face the Chu army. The isolated city is independent, and the trapped capital has trapped them to death in the city. There is no need for a single soldier to defeat Devouring Heaven.
Emperor Tian took the initiative to open the city and surrender.
.............
"Hey, congratulations to the host, your general has successfully captured the War King's City. The system will reward you with a lottery opportunity, which can be used at any time."
"Hey, remind the host that Sima Yi's army defeated the Longxiao Empire. The system will reward you with a lottery opportunity, which can be used at any time."
"Hey, the system scanned under Xuantian City and found the Longtang Empire army. The host is reminded to be vigilant and not to take it lightly."
Two pieces of good news in succession made Emperor Chu smile. The last notification sound wiped away Emperor Chu's joy. Long Tang was able to make up for Chu's most critical moments every time.
At the moment, the soldiers and horses of Chu State are fighting against Shi Tian and Long Xiao, but Li Shimin is sending his troops to attack Xuantian City. This is really a good plan.
Fortunately, Emperor Chu had already made arrangements. The armies of Yue Fei, Ran Min, and King Bimeng had never left Xuantian City. Even if Li Shimin came with his army, I believe he would not get any benefits.
Now that Zhanwang City has been destroyed, it only takes a day or night to end the war in the Heaven-Eating Empire. Once the Chu army wins, Emperor Chu is convinced that Li Shimin will withdraw in despair.
"Cao Zhengchun, Na Ya, send the order, speed up, and get to Zhanwang City as soon as possible!"
The Emperor of Chu issued orders, but did not take Longtang's attack on Chu to heart. Not long after Li Shimin took over the throne, he first pacified Prince Li Jiancheng and King Qi Li Yuanji, followed by a battle with the Qin Empire, and now he sent his army to attack again.
Chu, even if Longtang is a long-established first-class powerful country, I am afraid that the foundation of the country will be shaken.
At this moment, Emperor Chu thought that Long Tang's attack on Chu was a ploy by Emperor Eater to surround Wei and save Zhao. He thought that if Long Tang put pressure on Xuantian City, Chu's army would withdraw from Eater. This was simply a fool's dream.
The war lasted for more than three months, and the Chu army would never be able to withdraw unless the evil tiger Devouring Heaven was completely defeated.
Two days later, the generals who were pursuing the Heaven-Devouring Army had returned to Zhanwang City one after another. At this time, in Sifang Pass, Wu Qi stood tall on the high ground in the pass, looking up into the distance with a look of anticipation on his face.
A little while.
The pass was opened, and only Yang Kan, Wen Zhong, and the King of Light came in. When his eyes fell on Xian Zhen, Wu Qi's expression was extremely gloomy. If eyes could kill, Xian Zhen would be dead at this moment. (To be continued.)
