Chapter 0415 Closing (Part One)

Pengcheng, the next day, after the rain, the sky cleared and the summer breeze was scorching hot.

The wet and warm southeast wind blows the rain line through the sky, causing Surabaya to surge due to the upstream rainfall, and the 200 meter Jing current is turbulent.

In the wilderness between Pengcheng and Surabaya, the chaos of a night's war passed like this rainstorm, and the impact was still spreading among the crowd. There were rumors about the meteor's punishment, and about the nine thousand hit three hundred thousand

Another thing is witnessing Liu Bei's army pit and kill tens of thousands of bandits in Qingzhou early in the morning. The Cao army was somewhat angry and wavered in their fighting spirit, but the army was still relatively well-organized.

The connotation of the Cao family's many years of establishment is relatively good, especially the army attracted by the people on the ground, which is not just a rice bowl, but trained according to the army on the ground.

Some people may think that it's a bit foolish for the governor to rely more on the army of ground people instead of relying on the Cao family, but for the governor, all the people in this world are NPCs. Who would rely on NPCs instead of teammates?

Anyway, when the time comes, this earthly world will never be preserved.

However, even the brave and fearless veteran at this time had some hidden grievances that the commander-in-chief should not have introduced bandits, which was simply useless and superficial, causing the entire army to be implicated.

The remaining 60000 elite soldiers from Qingzhou suffered a great setback, losing their former ferocity one by one. Their eyes were filled with fear, thinking that the corpses buried beneath their feet were from the past, and that they were all Qingzhou soldiers. How could they not harm their kind?

What reassured the governor was the restoration of magical power by the sorcerers, who were dispersed among the various armies to guard against the sudden attack of Ye Qing's army. In recent days of small battles, especially during the chaotic night raid last night, they have suffered some losses. Now it has been discovered that one tenth of familiar faces have disappeared

The governor remained silent, still holding ninety sorcerers in his hands. The loss was only the first and second level sorcerers, but they were all important figures in each family. When they returned to the ground, there would be a group of aristocratic families causing trouble.

The sorcerer on the ground couldn't care about the distance yet. They were already worried about whether they could return to the ground. Looking at the enemy's main force that was closely monitoring in the distance, their eyes were filled with hatred: "Ye Qing let the natives injure and kill us. There will be revenge in the future

But in private conversations, there is no longer the disdain of the past.

A day and a night of sudden changes and reversals left a cruel impression on the above ground sorcerers. The psychological advantages of the above ground sorcerers were mostly from aristocrats on the ground, and they often took advantage of relatively wealthy families in the lower earth. They also had Taoist skills. Compared to Ye Qing's scattered cultivators, the sorcerers under the governor's command had been more smooth sailing in the first few rounds, and it was only at this moment that they realized the cruelty of the historical battlefield in the lower earth.

We, the people on the ground, have fallen to death like the natives. The foreign states say that the lower earth is a bloody gambling table, and if it's not for no reason

The sorcerer was discouraged, and the soldiers couldn't do better. The governor saw that the morale of the army had wavered, and after listening to the persuasion of the crowd, he prepared to retreat

This was also a practical consideration for agreeing to Ye Qing's participation in the Hulao League and going to Luoyang to attack Dong.

I really can't keep fighting anymore, and I can't hold on even if I retreat directly. I just took the opportunity to step down through the stairs.

Under the leadership of Liu Beifang, Cao Caofang and Tao Qianfang signed a ceasefire agreement based on the goal of overthrowing Dong, and the atmosphere calmed down for a while... it seems like this.

In recent days, a large amount of supplies looted by the Qingzhou soldiers have mostly fallen into the hands of Ye Qing in the camp. Even the main camp cannot be taken away completely. The Cao army set off in a hurry, but upon hearing that the Jiangnan army was heading north, they hastily made a treaty to attack Dong and even dismantled the main camp without haste.

Send me the order to burn down the main camp, and we will not use the enemy's armor! "The governor also knew the danger of this retreat and led his own army out of the camp early in the morning, taking charge of the palace rear with the art division.

The task of disbanding a 110000 strong army was tedious. By this time, it was already noon, and under the clear summer sun, the air was slightly warm, with a smell of dirt and blood. The ground was still wet, a bit muddy, mixed with a large amount of blood, and some of the roads passed by were even remnants of human pits.

Yu Jian, Le Jin, Cao Chun, and others, who are the only remaining generals, are also among the rear of the palace. Looking into the distance to monitor the enemy, it seems that Liu Bei's main force has recovered after a night of rest, except for the red armored infantry and cavalry that exude military aura... The generals breathed a sigh of relief and thought that this one might be resting.

After all, fighting with cold weapons overnight and pouring rain, even with the level of elite soldiers in red armor, it is impossible to recover in a blink of an eye. It is normal to sleep continuously for a whole day.

My lord! The floating bridge has been built, and Yuan Ying rushed across the river and withdrew as soon as he crossed it

The generals looked at each other speechless. Although the governor frowned, he knew that Yuan Shao was not reliable - he had come to fight for soy sauce, but seeing his own army's overnight defeat, he said he would not leave a gun to block it.

Report - Lord, Sun Wu's army has advanced twenty miles away. The army has slowed down, and three thousand light cavalry have arrived

Yu Jianguo and Ye Ni have colluded

The governor fell silent for a moment, not wanting to leave too much danger. He let out a sigh and said, "Let's go

As the news of the army spread, in the distance, the large camp was lit up with stars and sparks. Immediately, a general ran over and said, "My lord! Do we still want to burn down the camp

Burn! "The governor glared at the generals, unable to tell that he was afraid of intercepting his rear troops that he had set fire to. Even if a ceasefire agreement was signed, he would turn his back for a large sum of military funds, and it was normal to cause some minor friction. These indigenous people were afraid of becoming victims of friction.

At this moment, the main formation of Liu Bei's army five miles away suddenly opened up, revealing a force of nine thousand soldiers in red armor, marching straight ahead.

Everyone in the Cao army changed their color and said, 'It's here again!'

Why did you switch troops again

In response to the doubts of the governor, there were high-level sorcerers to investigate, and the team leader was sent by the court to closely protect the governor's safety. However, under the instruction of Prince Xin of the county, he joined the governor in the underground war to resist Ye Qing's newly promoted real wife.

A high-level sorcerer does not have a real person who can enhance their power in all aspects, but they are born for war and have extremely reliable battlefield abilities. At this point, they only make a slight exploration: "It is a real red armor, but horsepower is difficult to recover compared to manpower. Except for the four thousand archers, five thousand knights all switch to infantry warfare

These people just don't have much physical strength and no horses, they can't chase far... These 9000 people are coming towards us, and the main force is going to abandon the camp. As long as we stop us from burning the camp

Are you sure these 9000 people have no physical strength? "The governor was very concerned about the authenticity of this enemy army. This army was the core of Ye Qing's army, and once it was removed, Ye Qing would collapse halfway.

The senior sorcerer understood the governor's implied meaning and observed carefully for a while before saying, "I'm sure these people have weak energy and spirit, little remaining physical strength, and can only pursue with armor for five miles. They are at the end of their strength, relying only on crossbow formations for long-range shooting

The governor relaxed his mind and stared at the 9000 elite soldiers in red armor for a while, then emphasized, "Can we attack and kill them

Yu Jian and several other generals were greatly surprised and said, "Your Highness, not allowed! These nine thousand people carry knives and crossbows, with enough arrows to form a formation and shoot down for a whole day without any problem

As Han generals, they were most aware of the power of the Han crossbow. When Li Ling's 5000 foot soldiers dared to venture out of the northern desert, they retreated first due to the defeat of their friendly army. In the encounter, they were bitten by 30000 cavalrymen from Chanyu, and they formed a crossbow formation to shoot more than a thousand people. Arrows rained out like rain, forcing them to fight and retreat. Chanyu pursued for more than ten days, but lost 6000 under the crossbow formation. They were furious and saw that the Han army was about to rush back to Han territory. They gathered more than 80000 cavalrymen from the Left and Right Kings to launch a total attack, while the Han army fired 500000 arrows in one day, causing countless casualties and exhausting all the arrows, resulting in their complete destruction

After Li Ling's defeat, it was regrettable that each person had ten more arrows to break through and return to the border. Although this was a useless assumption afterwards, in fact, the Han crossbow formation demonstrated its killing power and durability against unarmed units.

Our army only has a small number of armored personnel, and most of them are restrained by crossbow formations. They even intentionally leave the army to lure our army to surround and kill, thus delaying our side

Master, think twice

The governor remained silent for a moment, considering whether it was worth the cost to eliminate this elite force. Generally, 70% of the troops had good crossbows of five or more stones, while most only had five or six stones. The power of the joint spells of the sorcerers was beyond the imagination of these indigenous people, far beyond their attack range.

Five miles apart in the distance, under the two banners of "Han" and "Liu", the generals were discussing the movements of Sun Jian's cavalry.

Ye Qing smiled and said, "The situation is special now. The condemnation of Dong Congwen has just been released, and I propose that the royal family cannot form a bad alliance... However, if there is a suitable excuse, we still have to kill if necessary

Luoyang is the capital of the Great Han Dynasty. As long as I seize this capital, I will be justified. I have gained all the remaining energy of the two Han dynasties, but as the saying goes, I will return to the heart of the world

Some things can be prepared in advance

Qianqian glanced at her husband, who, despite his vastly different appearance, exuded an equally resolute and heroic aura that was heart wrenching. She chuckled lightly and said, "My husband is so dangerous and wicked

The heavy crossbow of Jiushi, with 360 steps, is only 1000 meters long, just enough to break through the critical line... The low-level sorcerer is almost at this attack distance.

Ye Qing pressed his sword and looked forward with some anticipation for the governor's choice: "It would be best if we could be fooled. If we delay for a while, the arrangements will be more precise, so we can take a bite more. But the alliance has been established, and the excuses are limited. The key is that we cannot keep the enemy's leader, and even the Cao army headquarters may not be able to keep much. Therefore, it is better to concentrate our firepower and reduce one unit

Qianqian put down the partition magic mask and sighed with regret, "Unfortunately, last night the opponent's martial arts team had little magic power. It was the best time to keep the governor

Ye Qing remained noncommittal and said, "The governor is just an old official. Once he loses his army, it will be difficult for him to rise like Cao Cao in history. He can capture this man at any time. How could my wife sacrifice herself

Qianqian smiled and narrowed her eyes, then turned her gaze and said, "Unfortunately, Sister Gan has to protect the Empress Dowager and cannot come to participate in the war. Otherwise, she could have stayed a few more

In the calm atmosphere, there was a hidden killing intent, and the gentle voice drifted with the wind, quickly dispersing a meter away and colliding with a layer of transparent film, disappearing into the air.

On the battlefield, there will be no true peace due to deceit and deception. All of this is just an interlude.

The southeast wind blew straight towards Sishui, sweeping across the battlefield for twenty miles without dispersing any remaining fishy smell. The remaining 60000 Qingzhou soldiers of the Cao army served as the vanguard and quickly withdrew from Sishui. On the three temporary floating bridges built, only the main force of 50000 and the commander-in-chief flag remained motionless behind the palace, as if hesitating.

No one is bound by a covenant, and it is normal to turn around and stab someone after signing the covenant when there are enough interests.

For the governor who started anew, the Han family only had one elite soldier left, and it was an irresistible temptation to take advantage of their weakness and destroy them

Kill this group, it will be difficult to gather enemies of this level within ten years. By then, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry has already been formed, which is enough to drive this' Liu Shijun 'back to its original form of' Liu Run Run '.

But the governor has always been cautious in using troops, which has the disadvantage of being somewhat rigid, but the advantage is that he will never easily fall into traps.
