The lieutenant beside Lu Xun was stabbed with a knife.
He vomited blood and died...
Seeing this, the soldiers around him did not dare to mention the retreat.
Just like that, one by one, they rushed to kill without hesitation.
Lu Xun roared again, "Kill, kill, kill...repulse the enemy army, and I will ask your Majesty for your credit!"
In this way, the two armies began a pure hand-to-hand combat.
It was at this moment that blood flowed like a river.
The earth was dyed red, and a river of blood even formed...
It's simply a hell on earth.
Here, human life is like grass.
Killing...
After another hour, the Soochow Army began to be unable to hold on any longer.
From a small soldier to a captain, there is no thought of continuing to fight.
Because they are afraid.
The Wu Dynasty soldiers in front of them, from soldiers to generals, all had bloody heads pinned to their bodies. Such a ferocious scene made people feel numb.
The morale of one side has been significantly weakened.
The morale of one side is getting more and more terrifying...
It is this poor morale that gradually widens the gap between the two armies.
For the Wu Chao Army, this battle was very important, so important that they had to win.
Because once you lose, all your previous efforts will be wasted.
The biggest reason is that the Wu Chao Army sent out not 600,000 troops this time, but only 200,000.
Releasing 600,000 yuan is just to confuse the public and put pressure on Soochow.
It was this lie that suppressed Soochow's 400,000-strong army and did not dare to act rashly. Instead, they were wiped out bit by bit by the Wu Dynasty...
It's like boiling a frog in warm water.
Who would have thought that Soochow suddenly launched another war, leading to the current scene.
Therefore, if the pressure is put on Wu Chaojun, they can only win.
Absolutely can't lose.
Can’t afford to lose…
Therefore, the Wu Dynasty army from top to bottom shared the same hatred and the same enemy, which was called a rope.
After this lasted for another hour, the Soochow Army was clearly on the verge of retreat, because they suddenly had no intention of continuing to fight.
Low morale.
No matter how Lu Xun shouted, it was of no avail. He was very angry, "You... wake up, wake up! We can't lose this battle!"
"do you know?"
"Kill me, don't retreat..."
Gradually, Lu Xun's orders could no longer control the soldiers.
He had no choice but to ask his men to go back and ask for help.
A deputy general came to the gate of Anton City as quickly as possible and shouted at the top of his voice: "Your Majesty, our army has suffered a defeat, please support us!"
That's right, Wu Jun was guarding Andong City. His face darkened, "The army of 100,000 people collapsed?"
The lieutenant didn't dare to raise his head, "Yes..."
When Wu Jun heard the sound, he staggered and trembled, and said in a deep voice: "Pass me to order General Lu to withdraw!"
He didn't want his entire army to be wiped out.
The lieutenant general was stunned, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, I'm afraid to withdraw our troops now..."
Wu Jun interrupted and waved his hand, "Pass my order to withdraw the troops!"
Seeing that Wu Jun had made up his mind, he could not say anything more and carry out the emperor's order.
It's not that Wu Jun doesn't want to support, but he is thinking that if he supports, the Wu Dynasty will definitely reinforce. If the reinforcements are ineffective, then the soldiers will die in vain... and the defense force will be greatly increased.
weakening, this is not what he wants to see.
So, with a cruel heart, I decided to retreat...
"I hope my decision is right!" Wu Jun said to himself with deep eyes.
The deputy general rushed into the chaos, came to Lu Xun's side, and said in a trembling voice: "General...General, your majesty orders us to withdraw!"
When Lu Xun heard the sound, he was a little surprised and said in shock: "Why... why?"
"No...don't know!"
It was at this moment that Lu Xun completely calmed down, and gradually he understood Wu Jun's intention.
He sighed helplessly in his heart and then gave the order: "Send my order and the whole army will retreat!"
"quick!"
"retreat!"
"yes……"
The moment the retreat order was issued, Soochow's morale reached an unprecedented freezing point.
One by one, they all abandoned their armor and had no intention of resisting.
In this way, Soochow's 10,000 chariot battalions and 20,000 cavalry were all lost in this battle.
In the end, only 20,000 people were successfully evacuated.
As for the Wu Chao army, more than half of them were killed or injured.
When they saw the Soochow Army withdrawing, they did not chase them out, but stopped gradually.
Shi Gan waited, still in formation...
"General, they have withdrawn, do we still want to continue the pursuit?"
"Pursuit the victory and eat them!"
Shi Gandang refused and shook his head, "Now the remnant of Lu Xun's army is just a piece of bone, leading us to attack with all our might!"
"If we continue to fight, our shortcomings will be completely exposed, and then the gains will outweigh the losses!"
"So, this battle cannot continue!"
"If they withdraw, we will withdraw too!"
"yes……"
In this way, the Wu Chao army also sounded the gong and retreated, choosing to return to the main camp.
This battle was a narrow victory for the Wu Dynasty.
Because of this battle, the Wu Chao army will have a chance to breathe. When the big arrows of the three-bow crossbow arrive, they can destroy Dong'an City in one fell swoop.
It can be said that Shi Gandang has made overall arrangements.
And this battle is proceeding according to his plan...
This large-scale battle came to an end, and both armies stopped, stopped, and rested.
Although Soochow lost, Wu Jun still held a celebration banquet to reward the entire army.
The banquet is over.
Wu Jun asked Lu Xun to stay and said, "I didn't send troops two days ago. Do you blame me?"
Lu Xun shook his head, "I don't blame the general, your majesty is thinking about the overall situation..."
Wu Jun nodded, "Just understand!"
"I don't dare to gamble with the lives of our soldiers, so the best way to fight is to defend the city!"
"Use defense as offense!"
"General, I understand..." Lu Xun nodded and said no more, listening to Wu Jun.
Naturally, Wu Jun did not know that his caution had laid hidden dangers for the destruction of Dong'an City.
On the side of the Wu Dynasty Army, in the camp, Shi Gan ordered people to count the number of people and give various rewards according to the military merit system, in order to unite the morale of the army.
Two days flew by...
On this day, Lei Yi walked into the big tent and said: "General, since the beginning of the war, our army has lost a total of 70,000 people, injured 30,000 people, and still has 100,000 troops left!"
A total of 200,000 troops were dispatched, half of whom were killed or injured, and half were left.
Shi Gandang sighed and said word by word: "If these remaining people are used to attack Dong'an City, they are simply seeking death. Let's forget it!"
They coincidentally coincide.
Lei Yi answered, "We can wait for the big arrow support to arrive, but will Soochow let us wait?"
Shi Gandang frowned and said in a deep voice: "This battle not long ago should be worth two months! Then again, who can be 100% sure about what happens on the battlefield?"
"We can only hope that there will be no fighting in the next two months!"
