Chunyu Qiong abandoned the military camp outside the city and directly entered Huai County to garrison, which made the people of Huai County panic.
Sima family.
"Second brother, what are you doing?" Sima Fu asked in confusion as he looked at Sima Yi who was packing his luggage.
"Let's go quickly, it's too late if we don't leave!" Sima Yi simply packed his bags, and didn't care about other people's problems. He took Sima Fu and joined Sima Fang and walked out.
"Then General Chunyu has entered the city, and tens of thousands of troops are stationed there. Even if the enemy forces cross the river, they can't defeat them, right?" Sima Fu was pulled by Sima Yi and got on his horse all the way out of the city.
"If it can be defended, the ferry will not be lost. If the Lihu ferry falls, it is impossible for this side to be unprepared. But in the end, Chunyu Qiong gave up the camp and defended the city. It was clear that he did not have the confidence to defend the city and wanted to rely on Huai. The county guards are here to defend the city." Sima Yi rode his horse out of the city. After watching for a while, he took his family and galloped away to the northeast.
Hanoi may not be able to defend itself.
Sima Yi didn't know who led the army, but he knew that Chunyu Qiong's retreat to Huai County meant that the ferry had fallen. The other party had no confidence in holding the camp, so he retreated.
Otherwise, wouldn't it be better for Daying and Huaixian to help each other?
Sima Fu stopped talking after hearing this. He still remembered the last time Chu Nan came to Sima's house and took action without saying a word. If his brother hadn't had some skills, I'm afraid the Sima family would have been destroyed by then.
If the enemy attacks Huai County this time, there is a high probability that the Sima family will not be spared.
As he walked, he asked curiously: "Second brother, what if you help me?"
Sima Fu knew Sima Yi's abilities. If he helped Chunyu Qiong, he might not be defeated.
The enemy army had just broken through the ferry at this time and was at the peak of its vigor. Chunyu Qiong's retreat would inevitably damage our own morale. No matter who came, Huai County would be hard-pressed to defend it.
In the past, top generals like Lu Bu could destroy the city in a fight, but now, with the improvement of the power of heaven and earth, personal bravery has also made great progress in more than a year. Now almost all generals can fight against each other. The city was destroyed, and the strength of the city will be ineffective for a long time to come.
Unless a city adapted to this new era is built, it will be effective. Staying in the city may not be safer than outside the city, and may even be more risky.
Not long after the group left, they saw a Han army surging forward, divided into three groups, blocking the south, east, and north gates and surrounding them with three towers. This was a conventional approach in siege warfare.
After Sima Yi noticed this scene from a distance, he was slightly relieved. Fortunately, he ran fast.
"Brother, what should we do now?" Sima Fu was also a little scared. He didn't expect the enemy troops to come so quickly.
"Go to Yecheng and join Mr. Yuan. Now we can only help Mr. Yuan with all our strength, so that we can survive!" Sima Yi sighed, the world was still uncertain, and he actually didn't want to become an official at this time.
But there was no way. Chu Nan obviously had murderous intentions towards him. If Yuan Shao lost, the Sima family might be destroyed. For the Sima family, Yuan Shao winning this battle would be the best outcome.
Even if Sima Yi no longer wanted to serve as an official, he had to join now.
On the other side, Chunyu Qiong had just returned to Huai County when he saw the enemy army leading an army to surround the city. His face was a little gloomy: "Are you sure that Lu Bu is in the army?"
The question he asked was about a general of Sui Yuanjin. Sui Yuanjin died in battle, and his general had no place to return for the time being. Chunyu Qiong now was the time to hire people, so he recruited all the soldiers of Sui Yuanjin's department into his command.
Now that the city is garrisoned, there is no need to worry about not having a chance to revive morale.
"General Sui said this. The enemy's arrow array is quite powerful and can kill our soldiers across the river. If the enemy's arrow array had not been suppressed, the enemy would not have been able to break through our ferry so easily." The general bowed and said.
.
Lu Bu!
Chunyu Qiong closed his eyes. Although he was conceited, he did not have the confidence to face Lu Bu. When Lu Bu was under Yuan Shao's command, the two sides had several conflicts. If Lu Bu had not been concerned about Yuan Shao's attitude, he would have been almost beaten to death by Lu Bu.
"General, since Lu Bu is coming, our army is afraid that he will not be able to match him. Why don't we break out of the encirclement first and meet up with our lord before making any plans?" a general suggested.
"What's the point of retreating without a fight?" Chunyu Qiong snorted coldly: "Go and invite all the big families in the city to come over. If you want to defend Huai County at this time, I'm afraid we won't be enough!"
Every big family in the city should have some talented people. Even if most people can no longer use Confucian magical powers to display powerful ones, there are still some who possess magical powers.
"Here!" the generals agreed and turned around to prepare.
After the generals left, Chunyu Qiong walked around the government office several times and called a personal guard: "Have the people who went to Yecheng to deliver messages ever left safely?"
"General, we have gone." The guard bowed and said.
Chunyu Qiong nodded, waved his hand and said: "Take inventory of our troops, horses, and food and grass."
If there were only two generals who landed, the first one was no match for him, and although the second one was much stronger than him, he would have the confidence to defend the city. But if Lu Bu came in person, Chunyu Qiong would not be sure.
, he wanted to see what Yuan Shao meant, to continue to stay here? Or to retreat.
Now the enemy is surrounded by three towers. If we retreat, we will probably pay a heavy price!
The irritability in my heart suddenly became stronger.
At the same time, Chu Nan had also crossed the river. He ordered Xiaobai Jiao to stay in the river to prevent Yuan Shao from sending people to cut off his food route. He led all the soldiers to the camp outside Huai County. Chunyu Qiong retreated directly.
After entering Huai County, the camp was abandoned, which saved Chu Nan a lot of time. He first inspected the camp and pointed out the basic areas for the soldiers to transform. After confirming that everything was correct, he returned to the camp.
Liu Ye, Huang Zhong, Xu Huang, and Li Tong were already waiting in the tent. When they saw him coming, they quickly saluted.
"When fighting, there is no need for these many false etiquettes." Chu Nan motioned for everyone to take their seats and looked at Li Tongdao: "If we can successfully cross the river today, General Li should be credited with the first achievement."
"I am so ashamed!" Li Tong said with a bitter smile: "If Gongming hadn't rescued him in time, I would have been repulsed!"
"Gongming naturally has merit, but it is an indisputable fact that Wenda got there first, and he also killed an enemy general, which is already a great achievement." Chu Nan smiled and then asked: "But I don't know who the other party is, how can he defeat Wenda?
"
Li Tong's comprehensive ability is first-rate. As for generals, he is also one of the top second-rate generals. Moreover, he is an all-rounder who can command and fight. There are not many people under Yuan Shao who can beat Li Tong.
If Yan Liangwen is ugly, Xu Huang may not be able to defeat him.
"This person must be Chunyu Qiong." Li Tong was afraid that Chu Nan would not know, so he explained: "This person has very high qualifications under Yuan Shao. In the early years, when Xiyuan established eight schools, he was one of them. Later, he joined Yuan Shu.
, followed Yuan Shu in the southern and northern campaigns, and had considerable military exploits."
Wuchao Bacchus!?
Chu Nan naturally knew that he had single-handedly destroyed Yuan Shao's men.
But... is Chunyu Qiong so powerful?
His opponent was Li Tong. If Xu Huang hadn't arrived in time, he might not have been able to get to the ferry today. The contrast was quite big!
"Among the eight schools of Xiyuan, apart from Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, there are actually powerful people." Chu Nan said with emotion. In this way, Chun Yuqiong's comprehensive ability has been redefined.
Influenced by his previous life, he felt that Chunyu Qiong was an incompetent waste who drank too much and got into trouble, but now it seems that the other person's abilities are not bad.
"If this man were to lead the army in battle, there would be no more than ten people in our army who could win." Xu Huang bowed and said.
Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Xu Huang, Chen Gong, himself, Guo Jia, and Yu Jin should also be able to do it. There are exactly ten people, not counting Zhao Yun and Ji Ling.
This is currently the top group of generals under Chu Nan. Li Tong and Lu Qian are one level weaker, Cao Xing, Wei Yue and others are still one level weaker, but Xu Huang should not be counted among them.
Chu Nan was just joking when he included himself. His ability as a commander was no problem in leading a few hundred men to fight, but he was still insufficient for a large-scale legion battle.
It only takes four or five years to complete the calculation. It is already good to have this ability, not to mention that I usually study a lot of things, and my energy is not only in the art of war. When it comes to commanding troops, it is good to be ranked second or third rate. He
I don’t mean this for eating either.
"It's not like ten people. I think Wenda may not be weaker than him if he sets up a battle formation." Chu Nan still didn't believe that Chun Yuqiong, a pig teammate, could be so strong.
"Not only can this person combine two battle formations into one during the march, but his combat power is also quite terrifying. His natural magical powers are extremely powerful. If Gong Ming does not save him, he will have no chance of winning." Li Tong said with a bitter smile.
.
"Oh?" Chu Nan narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this: "What magical powers does he have?"
"It can attach high temperatures to nearby areas, and its weapons will suddenly melt during the battle, turning into molten iron and hitting the general. If Gong Ming hadn't rescued him in time, the general might have died at the crossing!" Li Tong explained to Chu Nan.
Smelting steel?
Chu Nan clicked his tongue in surprise. With such a good talent, it would be a pity not to go to blacksmithing.
"This person is of some use, let's try to catch him alive." Chu Nan said with a smile, he had already thought about Chunyu Qiong's future.
Everyone didn't know what Chu Nan was thinking. They only knew that Chu Nan had cherished his talents and nodded silently.
Liu Ye smiled and said: "Now that the opponent is holding on to Huai County and will not leave, how are you going to break the city?"
Chu Nan leaned back and thought: "It's not difficult to break the city. Tomorrow General Han Sheng will test it with an arrow formation to see how he responds."
There are still many people in the city. Chu Nan will not order the direct destruction of the city unless he has to. Moreover, even if the opponent is stronger than Li Tong, Li Tong is also the weakest among the four generals led by Chu Nan this time. Anyway, let’s try this tomorrow.
Let’s take a closer look at Chunyu Qiong’s fineness.
Huang Zhong stepped forward, saluted Chu Nan and said: "The last general takes orders."
"By capturing the ferry today, our army has a foothold on the north bank. Everyone, please go and rest. Let the soldiers take turns to keep watch overnight. Tomorrow, we will try to break the city again." Chu Nan stood up and said.
"Here!" the generals agreed and stood up to leave.
"My lord, don't you want to try the power of the new catapult?" Liu Ye saw the generals leaving and looked at Chu Nan and asked with a smile.
"Don't worry, how can you give away all your wealth in the first battle? You have to give Yuan Shao a surprise!" Chu Nan shook his head. This is a secret weapon in his army. At least there is no need to use it now.
Liu Ye didn't say much, nodded and said goodbye to Chu Nan and left...
