Chapter 1231 Jedi
The fierce battle lasted until midnight. Some of the Ross army, whose fighting spirit collapsed, finally put down their weapons, while the other part fled to the Minoan Fortress. The Minoan Fortress is located in the middle of the Minoan Mountains and is the core position of the entire Minoan defense line. The fortress that was just captured by the Qin army is just one of the most important supporting fortresses of Minoan Fortress. In fact, these fortresses were still from Kangju Army not long ago.
Then the First Qin Army Army Corps entered the fortress, and the main force of the Qin Army turned to the direction of Minos Fortress and set up camp three miles away from the front of Minos Fortress.
That night, when Chen Chu was discussing the next march plan with the generals, the scout rushed into the tent.
"Your Majesty, we found that the main force of the Ross army has retreated to the north!" the scout reported.
Everyone present was stunned. Chen Chu left and asked, "Are you sure?"
The scout officer replied: "The three scouts have confirmed the opponent's actions. The entire team is several miles long, and it is absolutely impossible to be a feint to move the troops!"
Chen Chu immediately turned his gaze to the sand table in front of him, and moved his fingers from the Minos Fortress north for dozens of miles, and paused on a city, "Wild Horse City, they must be planning to retreat here!" Wuma City is in the north of Kangju. Due to the special terrain, it is difficult to defend against attacks from the north. Therefore, Kangju took the initiative to give up here before the war, and for attacks from the south, a solid defense line can be formed. In addition, close to the Ross territory at this moment, it can be more convenient to obtain supplies and support from the Ross people.
"Your Majesty, let me attack!" Lu Bu asked for the battle impatiently.
Chen Chu ignored Lu Bu and thought.
Chen Chu asked the scout several questions, and the scout gave detailed answers one by one.
Chen Chu straightened his back and said to the generals: "If what I expected was right, the Ross must have set up an ambush on the road. If he pursued it rashly, it would be more than worth the loss!"
"But, are you just watching them escape?" Lu Bu looked very unwilling.
Chen Chu frowned and said, "Our army has experienced more than a month of fierce battles, with a total casualty of nearly 500,000 troops! The troops are already quite tired! The logistics supplies are consumed hugely and the burden is heavy! Now we can no longer continue to attack!"
The generals and Kang Wenrui couldn't help but frown and nodded.
"If you pass the order, the First Legion immediately seizes the Minos Fortress and the surrounding support fortress! Fengxian, you will lead the Tiger Roaring Iron Cavalry to go out twenty miles to serve as a warning!"
"yes!"
The First Legion, which received the order, immediately marched towards the Minoan Fortress in the northeast. Half an hour later, 30,000 Qin troops arrived at the fortress and found that the Minoan Fortress was indeed an empty city. Then they occupied the Minoan Fortress. At the same time, another 30,000 First Legion soldiers occupied three supporting fortresses around Minoan Fortress.
When the rising sun rose from the east, the Minoan defense line that had been thrown away for more than half a month, the military flags of the Qin army and Kangju floated again.
Lu Bu entered the tent in a blink of an eye, and saw Chen Chu sleeping with his forehead. He hesitated for a moment, and carefully retreated out of the tent.
"What's the matter?" Chen Chu asked without raising his head.
Lu Bu stopped, clasped his fists and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, aren't you asleep?"
Chen Chu raised his head, "It's Fengxian! Is there something wrong?"
Lu Bu replied: "Everything is normal! As His Majesty had expected, our scouts found traces of ambushing each other thirty miles north of the Minos Mountains!"
Chen Chu nodded, "Where is Kang Wenrui?"
Lu Bu stumbled at his forehead, "It seems like he's gone to Minos Fortress!"
Chen Chu stood up, walked to the huge map beside the tent, frowned. "I don't know how Zilong is doing? I hope our previous offensive can play the expected role!" Chen Chu turned around and asked, "Is there no news about Zilong?"
Lu Bu shook his head, "I have lost contact for four days!" He looked worried.
"Your Majesty, will Zilong~?"
Chen Chu couldn't help but feel heartbroken, "No! General Zilong will definitely be safe and sound!"
At this time, a messenger entered the tent.
"Your Majesty, Lord Yang Tong's secret report!" The commemorative knelt down and submitted a letter to the letter with both hands.
Chen Chu quickly took the letter and read it quickly. His brows frowned.
On the same day, after discussing with the generals, Chen Chu ordered the First Legion, Second Legion and Fourth Legion to march to the city of Wild Horses, and at the same time ordered Lu Bu to lead the Tiger Roaring Iron Cavalry to go to the Pamir Mountain Fortress immediately.
...
The capital of Wusun.
Qinna glanced at the information in her hand and couldn't help but sigh.
At this time, Qinna's younger brother Qin Xiang hurriedly rushed into the inner hall from outside.
"Sister, I'm ready, why did I suddenly ask me to stop moving?" Qin Xiang asked in confusion.
Qin Na handed the information in her hand to Qin Xiang. Qin Xiang took it with a puzzled look on her face. After seeing it, her expression suddenly changed.
"Sister, this~~?!" Qin Xiang looked in disbelief.
Qinna sighed and said quietly: "It seems that the sky is not on our Wusun side! Stop all your plans immediately!"
Qin Xiang agreed unwillingly and retreated.
Qinna walked to the dressing table and accidentally saw a look of old look in the mirror. She subconsciously stroked her cheeks and sighed pale.
Kikans was shocked after receiving the news that the Qin army continued to suppress Wild Horse City. He did not expect this situation at all. He had expected that the Qin army would give up the attack temporarily due to war damage and logistics factors. He could not allow Kikans to hesitate. Kikans mobilized the army and only a little material from Wild Horse City as soon as he received the news.
Just as the Qin army was preparing to attack Wild Horse City, the Tiger Roaring Iron Cavalry, led by Lu Bu, had quietly arrived at the Rainbow Canyon outside the Pamir Fortress.
Three thousand remaining Canglang Camp iron cavalry protected the seriously injured Zhao Yun and entered Guishuang's territory ten days after the Battle of Petersburg. However, there was an obstacle in front of them, and 20,000 Guishuang troops blocked their only way back. If it were normal, these 20,000 Kushan troops were not enough for them to get stuck in their teeth, but now it is like an insurmountable natural barrier.
Zhao Tuo discussed with several other generals and decided to take a risk to attack. It would be enough to send General Zilong out of the siege.
At dusk that day, the cavalry of Canglang Camp resolutely launched an attack on the Kushan army in front of him without hesitation. The exhausted and scarred soldiers charged in the enemy's rain of arrows, and the war horses cried out in a tragic scene.
The iron cavalry of Canglang Camp broke into the enemy's swords and mountains. Although they were extremely brave, they were killed in bloody battles one after another.
The Iron Cavalry of Canglang Camp could not break through the enemy's blockade, but instead fell into a heavy siege. Perhaps they would all be stained with blood on the battlefield at this dusk! An Iron Cavalry was picked off from the war horse by more than a dozen spears; after killing several enemy troops in a row, the war horse was tripped by the squat rope. As soon as he stood up, he was pierced by several spears at the same time. He slashed the heads of the two enemies in front of him with his last breath and let out the last roar, like the roar of a tiger before his death. The enemy troops around could not help but retreat several steps in a row. He fell down, and the enemy surrounded him and stabbed his body with weapons as if he was venting.
After a moment of bloody battle, more than a thousand remaining iron cavalry protected Zhao Yun, who was seriously injured and unconscious, surrounded by 20,000 enemy troops. The surrounding enemy troops clearly had complex fear and hysterical madness. Perhaps they felt that today was the moment that made them vent their fear of the Qin army.
At this moment, the earth suddenly trembled slightly, becoming more and more intense. The soldiers on both sides were stunned and looked eastward. They saw countless iron cavalry in black-clad clothes and armor coming in under the afterglow of the sunset, as if they were overwhelming.
