Chapter 199 Actively Withdrawal

This is definitely a strange attack. In the dark, the Beifu Army can't see the number of Jingzhou troops, their formations, and the direction of the main attack.

The footsteps of "shasha" were accompanied by the sound of armor impact, like an invisible hammer hitting the heart of the soldiers in Beifu.

In this case, Liu Yu is even more afraid to send troops to take the initiative to attack. In case the Jingzhou iron horse is hidden in the dark, he is afraid that he will lose many people and horses.

So Liu Yu had no choice but to order the soldiers to strengthen their vigilance.

Before dawn, the sky was dark, and even the moon went home and squinted, but it was not without any light. In particular, the torch as bright as day in the Beifu camp pointed out the way forward for the Jingzhou army.

When the Jingzhou army had just entered the sight of the Beifu Army, the Jingzhou army suddenly stopped, and then saw countless wooden frames slowly erect in the dark.

"The catapt! Come on, crossbow..."

Liu Yu on the watch platform finally saw what was erected in the Jingzhou army, but he forgot one thing, that is, Jingzhou's catapling machines have been specially improved, and the projection distance has long exceeded that of the past. Now the position where he has stopped is already exhausted the distance of the crossbow force. In addition, in front of the cataping machine, There are also several layers of huge shield protection, so it is impossible to destroy the Jingzhou army's catapult by conventional means.

With a deep order in the Jingzhou army, 20 catapults were powerful at the same time and threw 20 stones into the Beifu army camp.

Today, the soldiers in charge of catapults have been formed separately by Lu Qiang, that is, the artillery in Lu Qiang's mouth. In order not to disappoint His Majesty the emperor, they often organize their own training. It is also one of their training subjects to go out at night like this, and their proficiency is not slower than during the day.

In the improved cataping machine, the projected stone is smaller than before, but the projection speed is much faster. In addition, no matter how small the stone is, it is still a stone! By the huge inertia, it hit the Beifu camp, and its damage was not smaller than that of the big stone, and the stones were dense, so that the Beifu army did not raise its head at all.

As the stones fell, the Beifu camp finally became chaotic.

The loud sound of "kaka, click" sounded on the outer defense line of the Beifu camp, accompanied by the tragic cry of many soldiers.

Seeing this, Liu Daogui was shocked and not disturbed. Under an order, the soldiers immediately retreated from the first line of defense. The fence had been destroyed, and there was only one way to die.

When Liu Yu built the camp, he had taken measures to guard against the Jingzhou military catapult, but he did not expect that Lu Qiang would choose to use this weapon at night.

As the outer camp was broken, the Jingzhou army finally rushed up with a shield.

Although the fence outside the camp fell, the Beifu army had already ignited the fence when it retreated, so that the Jingzhou army was finally exposed to the range of the Beifu army.

Under Liu Daogui's order, the Beifu soldiers, who were already ready to go, immediately loosened the bow string in their hands, and then the rain of arrows scattered on the Jingzhou army.

Although the Jingzhou army had been on guard for a long time, many soldiers were still shot under this dense and indiscriminate rain of arrows.

At this distance, the bows and arrows of the Jingzhou army can also be shot into the Beifu camp. For a time, the arrows are like locusts, and the casualties on both sides are increasing sharply.

Jingzhou Army is commanded by Tan Daoji. Unlike Zhao Lunwen, although he is from the same Beifu Army, Zhao Lunwen is good at defending, but he is good at attacking.

Seeing that the Beifu army's defense was solid, he immediately changed the way of attack, ordered the soldiers to wrap the arrows around flammable objects, and then shot at the Beifu camp.

30,000 people want to break through the battalion garrisoned by more than 100,000 troops, and the Beifu Army, which is known as the strongest army in the world? It is impossible at all. As the sky gets brighter and brighter, the Beifu army is bound to launch a counterattack, so it must fight quickly.

In fact, the task given to Tan Daoji by Lu Qiang is mainly to destroy.

After standing firmly on the outer fence of Beifu, Tan Daoji pulled up the catapult again, and then bombed the Beifu camp indiscriminately. This time, the projection was not only a stone, but also a fireball.

Because he was not clear about the layout of the Jingzhou army, Liu Yu could only bear it. As Tan Daoji thought, he had already mobilized people in the rear camp and launched a counterattack at dawn.

Tan Daoji saw the chaos in the Beifu camp and knew that it was almost done. He immediately ordered the army to retreat in an orderly manner and did not give the Beifu army any chance to attack.

The offensive of the Jingzhou army weakened, and Liu Daogui, who was at the forefront, immediately felt it, but because it was not completely dawn, he did not dare to do anything.

At this time, more than 20 fires suddenly appeared in the Jingzhou army. In the firelight, Liu Daogui could see clearly, and it was the catapult that had just been ignited.

How did the Jingzhou army burn the cataping machine?

Liu Daogui understood that the Jingzhou army was about to retreat, and the catapult was inconvenient to carry and could not leave it for himself, so he simply burned it down.

These prodigal things, such a good thing will be burned.

At this level, Liu Yu still doesn't understand what Lu Qiang is thinking? But what's the use of understanding at this time? He didn't dare to send troops to chase him.

He has even thought that tomorrow night, he will deceive others and rein his life.

With the retreat of the Jingzhou army, the sky gradually lit up. Strictly speaking, this battle was still very fierce, but because it was dark and there was no hand-to-hand combat, the real losses were not much.

There were no bodies left by the injured Jingzhou soldiers and the soldiers killed in the battle, except for the wooden frames that were burned into gray carbon, as if the Jingzhou army had never come at all.

Liu Yu's face was gloomy as if he could drip water.

Liu Muzhi carefully followed him, peeked at Liu Yu from time to time, and said for a long time, "General, I think our camping method is a little passive!"

Liu Yu was so angry that he wanted to give Lu Qiang a sneak attack tonight, but after calming down, he remembered how could Lu Qiang not prevent him from stealing camp, so he must have taken corresponding precautions. In this case, what's the use of sneak attack?

It is unrealistic to attack during the day. Last night, the soldiers were noisy by the Jingzhou army all night, and the soldiers needed to rest. If they were forced to go to the battlefield, they would not have the desired effect.

If you don't camp like this, how can you do it?

Liu Yu is proficient in the battle, and the battalion is also perfect. Under normal circumstances, it is almost impossible to break the battalion with the same force, so he is very conceited in this regard.

"What's the best way to do Taoism?"

"Don't blame the general. It's not that my subordinates can't believe the camp set up by the general, but this road is unreasonable. At the same time, the logistics of our army is also in danger of being cut off by the Jingzhou army of Shangrao, so they think that they can withdraw our army to Guangyang City and build between Guangyang and Shicheng at the same time. The defense line, so that the two places are connected at the beginning and end, close to the logistics base, and there is strong city protection, and there is no need to worry about being attacked by the Jingzhou army."

Liu Muzhi's proposal can be said to be very good, but there is a fatal flaw, that is, once the Jingzhou army in Jiangnan and Jiangbei completes the sweep of Jiangnan and Jiangbei, it can form a siege with Lu Qiang, and as long as the back road is cut off, Liu Yu and others can only defend the lonely city.

It was precisely to figure this out, and Liu Yucai did not answer Liu Muzhi for a long time.

"What is the Jingzhou army in Jiangnan?"

Liu Muzhi didn't know how to answer Liu Yu's question, because he knew that it would be okay if the Jingzhou army had just killed Yangzhou, but now there is a local snake Zhu Chaoshi, it's hard to say.

The Zhu family has been operating in Yangzhou for many years, and many local officials are from his family. Imagine having such a local snake leading the way. I'm afraid it's difficult to slow down.

"My subordinates will order people to inquire again"

Liu Yu actually understands Liu Muzhi's idea, but how can he not care about this kind of thing?

This is a very strange psychology. Jingzhou's army is surrounded on three sides, and it is almost predictable what the situation will be like next, but as a hero, how can he be willing to be bound? I'm afraid that person is the emperor.

After the army rested, at noon, Liu Yu ordered the army to retreat from Guangyang. In fact, the battlefield they confronted with the Jingzhou army was not far from Guangyang.

The army walked slowly to prevent the pursuit of Jingzhou cavalry.

After receiving the report, Lu Qiang was a little surprised. Will Liu Yu withdraw from the army? However, he soon understood Liu Yu's intention. However, he couldn't help frowning. The 100,000 troops certainly could not be completely stationed in Guangyang City, but in this way, it was really conducive to defense.

Leaving aside the sneak attack, even if it is a normal attack, it is bound to increase the difficulty.

Thinking about it, but happy again. Once Zhang Changzhi and Deng Xiang completed the encirclement of Liu Yu's back road, Liu Yu also became a turtle in the urn, but there was also a premise that Jiang Dalong must break through Zhou Anmu's defense line.

It's Zhou Anmu again. Lu Qiang couldn't help sighing deeply in his heart. It can be said that it was Zhou Anmu who changed his fate, otherwise he didn't know what he was doing now!

Although there are no eyes on the battlefield, if possible, Lu Qiang will still give Zhou Anmu a way to live, just as a reward for leading the road into the Beifu army.

There is a battle plan drafted by Jiang Dalong on the table, and this plan is accompanied by the latest trends of the Beifu Water Army.

Sure enough, Han Yanzhi guessed that the Beifu water army crossed the river with iron cables, and countless wooden stakes were buried where the water flow was slow, which can be said to have achieved the ultimate in defense.

Since we know the layout of the Beifu navy, it depends on the ability of the Jingzhou navy.

In Jiang Dalong's battle plan, it is not difficult to break through the iron rope across the river. What is difficult is how to remove underwater dark piles?

As Lu Zongzhi and Deng Xiangmen went south, the Beifu water army in Jiangbei has retreated, so even if the Beifu army wants to attack Jingzhou warships on the shore, it can only attack on the side of the river.

Although the iron cable is tied to the strange rocks in the north of the Yangtze River, it can still be removed, but the dark piles are different. They not only need to remove the water ghosts one by one, but also guard against the attack of the Beifu navy.

Lu Qiang is not good at water warfare, so he is helpless about how to remove the dark piles in the water. He has to order Han Yanzhi to see if he has any way?

Han Yanzhi is a handsome talent. Under Lu Qiang's seat, even if it is He Wuji, I'm afraid he will be a little inferior to him. This is also the reason why Lu Qiang brought him around so that he can stand alone in the future.

After listening to Lu Qiang's introduction, Han Yanzhi pondered for a moment and suddenly smiled, "Since it can't be dismantled for a while, why do you need to dismantle it?"
