Steel Dynasty - Chapter 359

[Chapter 359 Great retreat]

Wu Wu…

When the horns with different syllables sounded, Luo Quan felt as if he was in a dream.

The barbarian soldiers who were engaged in a fierce battle began to disperse after hearing this horn. This collapse began near Fencheng and quickly spread to the center of the battlefield.

“This is the retreat clarion call of the barbarians.” Luo Quan was pleasantly surprised. The current battlefield situation was clearly advantageous. How could the barbarians withdraw their troops at this time?

But this is the fact. The barbarian cavalry abandoned the slave soldiers on the battlefield and retreated desperately.

The soldiers on the battlefield also looked confused, and the fierce barbarian soldiers began to run back.

Out of caution, Luo Quan did not immediately order his soldiers to pursue the victory, because the barbarians still had the upper hand.

This retreat could very well be a trap.

But when he saw the barbarian soldiers dismantling the bank account, he finally confirmed that the barbarians had really withdrawn.

He stood up and shouted to the people below: “Beat the war drums and let the cavalry pursue!”

“Dong dong…” The war drums sounded again, and the Jinwu Guards Cavalry and Qingzhou Cuirassiers rode their horses to pursue the defeated troops.

Some barbarian slave soldiers simply dropped their weapons and chose to surrender.

At the west city gate, Niu Ben didn’t know what happened. The horn of the barbarian retreat suddenly came. The barbarian cavalry in front of them retreated immediately after the first wave of impact.

“Captain, what’s going on?” Lu Fei scratched his head, looking puzzled.

He thought that this war would last for several months, but he didn’t expect that the barbarians would choose to retreat now. This is really incredible.

“Stop quietly and see what tricks the barbarians are playing.” Niu Ben, like Luo Quan, is a cautious person.

After observing for a while, Niu Ben frowned. The barbarian soldiers evacuated without any rules. Something big must have happened among the barbarians.

He said: “Lu Fei, I’m afraid the barbarians have really withdrawn. Let’s pursue them immediately to expand the victory.”

Lu Fei nodded and led the cavalry out of the car formation to attack the fleeing cavalry of the barbarians.

At this time in Jizhou City, Chen Xinran also noticed the strange movements of the barbarians. The barbarian cavalry and slave soldiers outside the city were retreating back.

The previously tight encirclement disappeared due to the retreat of the barbarian soldiers.

An hour later, all the barbarian soldiers outside Jizhou City evacuated northward. At this time, the military flag of the Great Chongqing Kingdom appeared in his field of vision.

“Qi!”

Chen Xinran was trembling with excitement.

“The barbarians have withdrawn, King Qi and the Imperial Army have won!” An idea rose uncontrollably in his mind.

After the military flag with the word “Qi” appeared, the Jinwu Guard’s flag appeared again. At this time, Chen Xinran once again did not doubt that he was there, and he immediately went to Prince Yong’s Mansion.

Outside Jizhou City, Luo Quan and Zhan Xingchang met at the same time.

Now they confirmed that the barbarians had really retreated. Because of this, they rushed to Jizhou City at this time, and the barbarians in Jizhou City also retreated.

“What happened? Why did the barbarians withdraw their troops? Luo Quan, couldn’t you see it from your height?” Niu Ben asked.

Luo Quan shook his head, “The battlefield is so chaotic, how can I see everything clearly, but this seems to be your credit.”

“It doesn’t matter whether you deserve the credit or not. The most important thing now is to figure out what’s going on.” Niu Ben frowned.

While the two were talking, suddenly Lu Fei came back, followed by two cavalrymen, one of whom was riding a slave soldier on his horse.

“Commander, I understand. Beishan was accidentally injured by our artillery shells. He does not know whether to live or die. It is precisely because of this barbarian that he retreated.” Lu Fei said.

“Our artillery shells!” Luo Xin followed Niu Ben and screamed when he heard this.

“It’s your artillery shells!” Lu Fei rarely failed to kill Luo Xin this time. “Now your artillerymen have gained face.”

Luo Quan looked at Luo Xin with a thick smile in his eyes, but his face remained unchanged. Seriously, he said: “In this case, it makes sense that the barbarians were defeated. Beishan was Taiji. He was either dead or injured when he was hit by the cannonball. The group of dragons has no leader. Naturally, the barbarians can no longer fight.”

Niu Ben nodded and said to Lu Fei He said, “Hurry up to meet His Highness and come to Jizhou City to discuss the following matters. Bei Shan was injured this time. It is during the pursuit of victory. We may not be able to recapture Shanhaiguan in one fell swoop.”

“Shanhaiguan!” Luo Quan’s body trembled. After a while, this pass was once the gateway to the north of the Great Chongqing.

Once Shanhaiguan is recaptured, the northern country will no longer have to face the threat of the barbarians’ iron hoofs, and will be safe from now on.

Niu Ben laughed when he saw Luo Quan’s expression. He and Luo Quan had not seen each other for five years, but their friendship was still the same as before. He said: “His Highness originally had a plan for the Northern Expedition in the autumn, but he did not expect the rebellion in Jizhou. Bei Shan took the opportunity to go south. If the results are outstanding, they should be expanded in time. As expected, His Highness King Qi will definitely let the Qingzhou Army march north to capture Shanhaiguan. I just don’t know if the Jinwu Guards can capture Shanhaiguan with us. “

Luo Quan .

His excited smile was suddenly mixed with a hint of helplessness, and he said: “I’m afraid this can’t be done. Your Majesty has ordered that our task is to lift the siege of Jizhou. Now that the barbarians are defeated, we have completed the emperor’s order. We will not return to the court until the next day.” Yes.”

Niu Ben saw that Luo Quan’s expression was wrong, so he asked: “I’m afraid it’s not about the emperor’s order. Is it because your majesty is suspicious of you again?”

Niu Ben was jealous of Xiao Wenxuan back then. When he was exiled to the mine, his mood that day was just like Luo Quan’s today.

“Accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger. We ministers can only be cautious. Most of the Jinwu Guards have been destroyed this time. I’m afraid His Majesty and the courtiers will feel at ease.”

When he said this, Luo Quan’s voice was filled with bitterness.

“Bah! I was really angry. I said it would be better to vote for His Highness the King of Qi like me. As long as those traitorous killers are around, what will happen to those of us who are loyal to our country?”

Luo Quan He said nervously: “This can’t be nonsense. You are representing His Highness King Qi now. If these words are spread to Chang’an, I’m afraid it will be detrimental to His Highness.”

Niu Ben was startled, and cold sweat broke out from his back. He looked around at his own people, and this I felt a little relieved, but I didn’t dare to mention it again.

Sighing, Niu Ben said: “Don’t mention it. You know this trick better than me. You may not be able to save the day. Now let’s talk about how to divide the spoils. I don’t want these things to be taken by King Wei and King Yong.” Cheap.” When he mentioned this, Luo Quan’s eyes widened immediately. He nodded and

said

, “Yes, the spoils should be divided equally between our two families. We must not make it cheaper for these two faint kings.”

All the Qingzhou generals and the Forbidden Army generals smiled.

The defeat of the barbarians left a large number of ownerless war horses in Fencheng and Jizhou, which were real wealth.
