The Chu army was like a dark cloud pressing over the city, with tens of thousands of soldiers gathered. The generals in the first line were Bai Qi, Zhou Yu, Wu Kuo, Gong Yangxun, Long Yan, and Gao Shun.
Bai Qi's voice echoed in the void. His sharp eyes looked directly at the blurry Xuanchi City in front of him, and his voice was firm and powerful: "Today the whole army will return to the city to train. Tomorrow, at dawn, the sword will point at the Xuanchi border city and capture Xuanchi in one fell swoop."
Several cities in the north let Wei Han know how powerful Chu's soldiers were."
"General Bai's words make sense, and we will obey the general's military orders!"
Even Zhou Yu admired Bai Qi's skill in using soldiers like a god, so he was also willing to obey Bai Qi's generals.
............
at this time.
In the large tent of the Tiandai Military Camp outside Yulong City, Gongsun Shengchang's face was ashen, with a strong and sinister look hidden in his eyes, and he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart.
He originally thought that with the joining of the generals from the War Preparatory Academy, he would be able to defeat the Jade Dragon and conquer the Chu Kingdom, but he did not expect that three generals would be killed and one would be injured in the first confrontation. Such a record really made him look at the generals in front of him with admiration.
But now that Xuanchi's army has withdrawn, Gongsun Shengchang knew that he could only rely on the help of these generals in front of him. Otherwise, even if the army of Heaven had millions of soldiers, it would be nothing without a strong general to lead it.
Think about this.
Gongsun Shengchang smiled, raised the glass in his hand, and said in a calm voice: "Generals don't have to be like this. Victory and defeat are commonplace in military affairs. In this first battle, several generals fell into the enemy's trick and were unfortunately killed. We must keep this hatred in mind.
If we conquer the Chu State in the future, we will surely make the Chu Emperor pay back double the reward."
"Right now, the generals should discuss how to attack Jade Dragon City, instead of feeling down here and blaming themselves."
Gongsun Shengchang's words were like a wake-up call. A bright light instantly appeared in the eyes of Sikong Yan and Jiang Yi. The gloom on their faces was swept away. Their figures suddenly rose up and stood in the middle of the tent, clasping their fists and saluting.
"Your Majesty, Xuan Chi's withdrawal of troops cannot be concealed. Emperor Chu must have known about it by now. The general has concluded that they have begun to deploy and will attack the military camp tonight."
"Please, Your Majesty, order the army to withdraw to Luochang City before making plans. Otherwise, I am afraid that these 100,000 elite soldiers will be buried here."
Hear the words.
Gongsun Shengchang secretly plotted in his heart for a long time. He looked at Sikong Yan and the others. He stood up from the wooden case and said in a determined voice: "According to General Sikong's words, the army will withdraw to Luochang City."
Afternoon.
Chu Feifan was taking a nap in the general's mansion when he heard the sound of hurried footsteps. He squinted his eyes slightly and looked out of the hall, and saw Zhao Yun walking in in a hurry.
"Zilong, why are you in such a hurry?"
"Your Majesty, the Tiandai army has withdrawn outside the city!"
"Evacuated?"
"Where did they evacuate? Luochang City?"
"That's right!"
Hearing Zhao Yun's determined voice, Chu Feifan straightened his body and stood up from the wooden collapse. His deep eyes flashed with worry, and he said urgently: "Zilong, lead the Iron Eagle Rui Shi and Yan Yun Shi.
Let’s go to Luochang City together with the Eight Riders to have a look.”
"Your Majesty, do you want to inform the army to attack Luochang City together? Judging by the time, Yue Fei, Huo Qubing, and Qu Yi should not have captured Luochang City yet."
"No, I believe that Huo Qubing and Yue Fei will not choose to attack Luochang City first. If my guess is correct, they should be flying towards the capital of the Emperor of Heaven at this time."
"Tiger Roaring City?"
"That's right!"
Chu Feifan turned around and pointed his finger at the Tiger Roaring City icon on the military counselor's map behind him, and a firm voice sounded. Based on his understanding of Huo Qubing, he was flexible in his military use, focused on strategy, never adhered to ancient methods, and was good at blitzkrieg over long distances, so Chu Feifan
Feifan concluded that Huo Qubing and Yue Fei must have captured Whistling City first.
"Zilong, the enemy's retreat to Luochang City must be because they are worried about our army's surprise attack late at night. Therefore, we should first understand the situation in Luochang City and then discuss how to attack it."
"Zilong understands, let's go and gather the Iron Eagle warriors and the Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry."
Early summer.
The afternoon sun is at its hottest, and the earth is baked like a soldering iron. The sultry breath fills the sky and the earth. At this time, the long street of Jade Dragon City is deserted at first glance, even the soldiers guarding the city.
The armor on his body has also been opened.
Surveying the terrain was originally the responsibility of the scouts, and there was no need for Chu Feifan to lead the troops there in person. However, in order to know himself and the enemy and better grasp the enemy's movements and the situation in Luochang City, Chu Feifan decided to go there in person against all objections.
.
On Jade Dragon City, the generals watched as Chu Feifan led hundreds of Iron Eagle warriors and Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry, galloped towards Luochang City quickly with their whips raised, and disappeared into the dust of thousands of miles of sand.
Running hundreds of miles away, Chu Feifan ordered the Iron Eagle Warriors and the Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry to slow down. According to his estimation, they should not be far from the Tiandai army returning to Luochang City now. If he followed too closely, it would be worse.
will be discovered.
Chu Feifan and Zhao Yun led the Rui Shi and the Eighteen Cavalry to stop and go. Originally it was only an hour's journey, but they walked for three hours before arriving at the gate of Luochang City. As he expected, Gongsun Shengchang led the army into the city safely, and
Huo Qubing and Yue Fei were not found.
"Zilong, you lead the Eighteen Cavalrymen to investigate the surrounding areas and find out all the conditions around Jingluochang City. This will be our first fortress when entering Tiandai Kingdom."
"Zilong takes command!"
After Zhao Yun left, Chu Feifan looked around with vigilance, remembering everything in Luochang City in his mind, including the number of soldiers guarding the city.
Luochang City, the closest city from the Tiandai Kingdom to the Chu Kingdom, is surrounded by mountains on one side and densely covered with jungles on the other. The city is about six meters high. Although it has been ravaged by wind and frost for a long time, it still looks very solid and can be regarded as an impregnable fortified city.
"If such a towering city is attacked by force, the losses will be huge. It seems that we need to come up with a strategy!"
Chu Feifan murmured to himself. He knew in his heart that attacking Luochang City in front of him would definitely hurt the enemy a thousand times and damage himself eight hundred. He could only do it wisely, not by force.
Gongsun Shengchang led the army into the city. They had no idea that Chu Feifan was following closely behind them. When they entered the city, Sikong Yan and Hu Yanzhuo whispered a few words and then rode their horses to catch up with Gongsun Shengchang who was heading to the general's mansion.
"Your Majesty, the general has a plan to defeat the Chu army!"
"Oh, General Huyan, come and listen!"
Gongsun Shengchang looked sideways, a bright light flashed across his eyes, his eyes rested on Hu Yanzhuo and Sikong Yan, and he asked urgently.
"Your Majesty, the last general proposed to use the strategy of chaining horses to defeat the Chu army."
"Serial horse?"
"What is a serial horse? I hope General Huyan will speak out!"
Gongsun Shengchang didn't understand the meaning of Hu Yanzhuo's words. He looked puzzled and asked in a curious voice.
"Your Majesty, the horse is wearing a vest, the man is wearing iron armor, the horse is wearing armor, only the four hooves are exposed, and the man is wearing armor, only a pair of eyes is exposed. All the horses are tied together with iron chains. , during the attack, dozens of war horses rushed out at the same time, and the generals on horseback did not have to worry about life or death, they only had to swing their swords to slaughter the Chu army instantly."
"Wonderful, wonderful, General Huyan's tactics of chain horses are really amazing!"
