The Era of Generals

Chapter 292   After the War

boom!

Just as Meng Yang and Xu Qing decided to retreat, Li Quanan's catapult troop, which had not been launched for a long time, suddenly opened fire!

Dozens of bolides that had already been ready to go pierced the sky again, exploding a new round of blood in the enemy camp.

This time the distance was a little closer. Although the catapult troops would not be able to clean up the falling rocks thrown by the enemy for a while, they could still attack the front battalion and the middle battalion at the current position.

There are a large number of border coalition forces advancing from the front to the back, and advancing to the rear.

Naturally, Li Quan'an couldn't see what was going on in the enemy's camp. He ordered his men to throw stones, more to cooperate with Meng Yang, Xu Qing and others to evacuate.

Unexpectedly, it was a crooked attack, the opponent's front line changed to the back line, and the defense behind was the weakest. This round of bombardment passed, although it did not explode in the middle of the square, it still affected at least a quarter of the soldiers. Suddenly there was another burst of wailing.

Enemy from belly to back!

At this moment, the aggrieved hearts of the border coalition forces can be imagined.

Unable to attack head-on, with the state of abandoning horses and shields at this time, if they want to attack the opponent's catapult troops, they will have to suffer a few more rounds of bombing. No one can afford this loss.

The hateful thing is that the other party fired at will, but the catapult troop on their side is on fire, so they don't have the ability to fight back.

The catapult could only hold back its breath, and could only retreat quickly under the opponent's artillery fire, looking for someone who could beat it.

The sword and shield phalanx obviously has an advantage against the upper cavalry, which is also the so-called ability to fight.

But what if the opponent doesn't fight you?

When the general commanding the phalanx finally endured the enemy's stone-throwing bombing and rushed to the rear camp, wanting to vent his anger on the opponent's cavalry, what he saw was...

Ran!

The cavalry unit of more than 50,000 and nearly 60,000 people ran away completely before the defensive phalanx finally returned to the rear camp!

How can this not make people vomit blood!

What's even more exasperating is that the commander also learned the news that the coach Bao Jianye was assassinated from the soldiers who survived by chance.

Being able to command the extremely important defensive phalanx at this time, this general is naturally Bao Jianye's own confidant. When he heard that his backer died like this, how could he not be angry?

What's the use of being angry?

Now start to change the defensive formation to an assault formation, let the soldiers put down their giant shields and turn into cavalry?

Not to mention the lack of time, where did he go to find so many war horses all of a sudden?

A battle is so chaotic that even the people are in chaos, so what about war horses?

He could see the war horses with a casual glance, but those war horses were frightened horses, and many of the horses were still burning with flames on their tails. It was the time when frightened and frightened horses were rushing around. Time can't be appeased at all.

Therefore, the choice they can make in the end can only be...

endured.

Although very angry, although very unwilling, but at this time, what else can I do besides endure?

Nothing... can't be done!

………………………………………

"retreat!"

On Li Quan'an's side, after receiving the news from Chen Ze that Meng Yang and the others had successfully broken through, he didn't hesitate anymore and directly ordered all his subordinates to retreat.

When they came, they had to be escorted by Meng Yang led cavalry, but when they returned, Li Quanan just smiled coldly at the direction of the enemy camp, not worried at all that the enemy would go out to pursue them at this time.

At the head of Xifeng City, Chen Ze also let out a heavy breath.

Now that the battle has progressed, he knows that it has stabilized.

Although he didn't completely wipe out the enemy... In fact, he also knew that it was impossible to wipe out the enemy's more than 300,000 people here with his own strength.

Based on the combat achievements fed back from the star system and Xu Qing's description, there is a high probability that the enemy's coach died in this battle.

It is conceivable that the two armies faced each other and the commander was killed. It is conceivable how much the morale was hit, not to mention a series of follow-up command and dispatch issues. It will be difficult to restore the normal command system in a short time.

What's more wrong is that I thought that the opponent's entire cavalry lineup should not be equipped with siege equipment such as catapults, but I didn't expect that there were dozens of them hidden in the rear camp.

Fortunately, they decided to give it a try today, otherwise, when reinforcements arrived from the enemy, and the configuration of troops was completed, with the help of catapults, the pressure on Xifeng City's defenses would increase several times.

Being able to get rid of the catapult at this time will undoubtedly greatly disrupt the opponent's deployment. Even if reinforcements arrive at this time, the first thing to do is to clean up the mess, not to attack the city.

After that is the result of this battle.

How many enemies have been killed? Chen Ze can receive real-time information here. Based on the fact that each ordinary soldier can get ten combat points, he can probably calculate that the number of enemy soldiers who died in this battle is about 90,000. In addition, there are generally thirteen generals and one coach.

This battle earned Chen Ze more than one million military exploits. Apart from ordinary soldiers, the enemy's commander also gave him a lot of military exploits. At any rate, he made up for some of the military exploits spent on preparations, making Chen Ze Ze's total military exploits rebounded to more than 2.7 million.

Unfortunately, this battle was also the first time that Chen Ze suffered a large number of casualties of his own soldiers since he led troops in this world.

Because he didn't expect the enemy to hide so many catapults, Meng Yang's charge was a little slower, and the enemy's catapults fired a volley, causing the cavalry to appear unexpectedly. Widespread casualties.

Although it was much smaller than the enemy's losses, less than 10,000 people died under the boulder rain.

This made Chen Ze feel extremely distressed.

His troops are hard-won, and here in Xifeng City, they can't replenish them at any time like the enemy. What's more, Chen Ze even pointed to the 100,000 troops as his team to develop in this world. He lost almost a tenth, so how could he not be in pain?

It's a pity that the matter has come to this point, it's useless to worry about it, the only consolation is that those soldiers did not die in vain, after this battle, Xifeng City can maintain its stability for a long time.

He knew from Chen Ming that there was still no movement from the reinforcements in Dongping City, which meant that at least in the next two days, there would be no threat to the safety of Xifeng City.

Wait for another two days, and the situation of him guarding Xifeng City alone will change.

If he hadn't been able to wait for reinforcements, Chen Ze wouldn't really just stick around here.

The casualties this time sounded the alarm for him. As a young man, he couldn't bear another loss.

Chen Ze had been guarding the head of Xifeng City until all the troops returned to the city, and finally relaxed.
