Daqin Engineers

Chapter 222

Xiang Yan's order made his subordinates a little confused.

Even Uncle Xiang didn't understand, he hurried to Shuai Zhang and asked:

"General, our army has cut off the Qin Junliang Road and forced him to retreat. Why should we retreat at this time?"

Xiang Yan did not speak, but raised his head towards the intelligence on the table.

Xiang Yan actually wanted to test Bo Xiang to see if he could make the same inference from the intelligence as himself.

But Xiang Yan was disappointed. Xiang Bo only glanced at the intelligence, and then said bitterly:

"Xiang Luo is hateful, he keeps saying that he will stop Qin Jun, but he doesn't want to be able to do so!"

"Ten thousand cavalry troops were defeated by three thousand black armies!"

Then Mr. Xiang turned around and said:

"General, even if Xiang Luo has defeated our army, he will not retreat."

"Qin Jun came to aid only 30,000 Liangjun."

"It just happened, I waited and surrounded them too!"

Xiang Yan glared at Bo Xiang, "hum" on her mouth and was too lazy to explain, only replied:

"No need to say more, just go ahead and prepare!"

Uncle Xiang wanted to say something but was stopped by Xiang Yan's eyes, so he didn't dare to arch his hands and back down.

Looking at Uncle Xiang's back, Xiang Yan couldn't help but sighed, secretly asking how this uncle could take on such a short-sighted future?

This is also the reason why Xiang Yan let Xiang Liang lead the army, but Xiang Bo has been by his side.

Although these two sons have followed Xiang Yan for many years, they are far apart: Xiang Liangxin is careful and long-term, but Xiang Bo is short-sighted and does not know when it will be of great use.

What Xiang Yan didn't know was that in the future, this fellow would get better and live longer.

Two decades later, Xiang Liang took the lead and led his troops to fight against Qin, and finally Yu Dingtao was defeated and died.

Xiang Bo was bought by Liu Bang and rescued Liu Bang from Xiang Yu again and again. Later, he was given the surname Liu Feng by Liu Bang as Sheyanghou.

If Xiang Yan knew this, she would be so angry that she would chop off this uncle.

Not to mention Xiang Yan's confusion, even his opponent, Meng Wu, was surprised when he heard that the Chu army had withdrawn to Chengfu.

The Chu Jun clearly had the upper hand. As long as they continued to control those towns, the tens of thousands of Qin troops would have to withdraw to Rushui.

When the time comes, Rushui will not have enough food and grass... A supply line can hardly support the battle of the two armies, and the supply line is still exposed under the front of the Chu army, and the Qin army will be a lone army on three sides.

This is also the reason why Qin's army had two separate attacks on Rushui and Chengfu.

Concentrating all the forces to attack Rushui is not impossible, but the Qin army goes deep into the Chu territory to fight, and attacking only one point will make the Qin army's offensive line look like a single-handed approach to three enemies, and it is easy to be surrounded by the Chu army.

And if the troops are separated by two hundred miles and attacked at the same time, not only can the two armies respond to each other and support each other, but also create a safe area in the middle for logistical supply operations. At most, the two armies only need to deal with two enemies.

Therefore, once the Mongol military army was defeated, Yang Duanhe army in Rushui had no choice but to withdraw.

However, just as the Mongolian army withdrew all the way south and the Chu army interspersed and occupied the rear supply area, did the Chu army retreat?!

Meng Wu said to himself:

"Is this a trap set by Xiang Yan's servant?"

The minister said:

"General, maybe it's because the Liangjun came to help..."

Before the minister had finished talking about Meng Wu, he interrupted him:

"The Liang Army has no more than 30,000 people and has not yet taken the battle. You said that they are supernatural generals, so you can scare the Chu army back?"

The minister even claimed to be, and after a while couldn't help saying:

"It is reported that the Liang Army defeated the Chu Army in Ruanqiao Town..."

Meng Wu didn't even think about it, but he replied:

"More than 30,000 people defeated 10,000 Chu army, how can it be called a big defeat?"

No wonder the Mengwu Society thought so.

The intelligence that Shen Bing sent to Mengwu was an understatement and probably talked about the situation.

He could never say how the Black Armed Forces won more with less and what tactics were used in this battle... If so, it would be a naked show off.

So Meng Wu didn't know much about Xiang Yan.

So the Mengwu army would either retreat, neither could it advance.

Retreat, the Chu army has already withdrawn. Wouldn't it be necessary for Liangjun to see a joke when he retreated further south?

Jin, worried that this was Xiang Yan's trick, and fell into the pit as soon as he entered.

Just when Mengwu hesitated, he heard the spies coming into the camp and shouting excitedly:

"General, reinforcements have arrived, it is the Black Armor!"

When Meng Wu walked out of the tent, he saw thunderous cheers outside, and the soldiers of the Qin Army kept waving to the distance.

Meng Wu looked along the soldier's gaze, and as expected, he saw a black cavalry riding a horse a mile away. Who else could there be a black army?

The black armour is getting closer, and the sound of horseshoes is getting louder.

Meng Wu thought that the Black Armored Army would stop to join him, but he didn't want it to bypass the Qin Army camp and continue north.

When Mengwu was in doubt, I saw the two riders riding horses into the camp. The skilled rider stopped and then jumped off the horse and ran to Mengwu, reporting:

"General, my subordinates are here to plead guilty on the order of the lieutenant."

"The situation is urgent. The school lieutenant leads the army to meet the enemy in the future. Please forgive me."

After the report, the two horses hurriedly got on their horses and chased the large group, looking worried that the Chu army ran too fast to catch up.

Only the Mengwu Army was left stunned.

What's the situation?

Xiang Yanjun said that there are more than one hundred thousand people. How dare these three thousand horses of the Black Armor come forward to chase after him?

Is this too long?

It took a long time for Meng Wu to react.

This can't work!

There are still sixty thousand under Mengwu... During this period, Mengwu attacked the city and Rushui, and then was chased by the Chu army. The 100,000 army has been consumed to only sixty thousand.

People's three thousand black armies have the courage to chase the Chu army. How can my Mengwu army with sixty thousand troops be here in a daze?Are you still worried about the enemy’s trap and dare not chase the enemy?

So without much thought, Mengwu immediately ordered the army to go north to chase the enemy.

After the army opened, Mengwu also said to the generals:

"Three thousand horses dare to go forward and chase the enemy, this Chen Duan also looked down upon Chu Army!"

"Underestimating the enemy's advances and quick success, how can we not suffer?"

"The Black Armored Army said it was here to rescue our army, I'm afraid we still need our army's rescue."

However, the reality of face slaps soon came...

The Mongolian military army who followed them saw dead bodies and prisoners all the way. Although some were not captured, hundreds of Chu troops were trapped by dozens of black armored troops and could not move.

This is the benefit of the Black Armored Cavalry to the infantry:

If the infantry had formed a shield formation, the Black Armored Army would indeed be helpless.

But the Black Armored Army didn't have to win the infantry. They only had to run around the infantry far away. The infantry relaxed a little and wanted to chase the large army... The Black Armored Army immediately came to shoot arrows.

In desperation, the infantry can only form a shield formation, so they can't walk and fight or fight, and can only wait for the Mongolian military to come up and capture them.

Only then did Meng Wu realize that perhaps the Yanjun was really scared away by Shen Bing.
