That night, the scout came to report that the Qin army was retreating rapidly to the south. This was good news, but Empress Slan and Cao Pi and other generals felt a little at a loss. It was no wonder that the Qin army's offensive today was a mountain collapse and tsunami. The Ross people struggled to support the Qin army's fierce attack many times and almost lost! Just now, Empress Slan and the others were still discussing how to deal with the Qin army's offensive the next day!

"Retreat? How is it possible?" General Drov said in disbelief.

Cao Pi asked the scout, "Did you see clearly? Is it really the Qin army retreating?"

Seeing that all the generals present looked incredible, the scout couldn't help but be sure. "This, well, it should be!"

Drov shouted impatiently: "Yes, that's right! No, that's not! What does it mean?"

The scout was stammering and dared not answer.

Queen Slan looked at Cao Pi and asked, "General, what do you think?"

Cao Pi frowned and said, "Chen Chu is extremely cunning! He has used the trick of cheating and seducing the enemy to go deeper than once! Maybe~~~~"

Queen Slan frowned and said, "What the general means is that the Emperor of Qin is using fraud again?"

Cao Pi nodded, "It's very likely! But Chen Chu may really retreat!"

Queen Slan was stunned and asked in confusion: "What do you say?"

Cao Pi analyzed: "On the surface, the Qin army does have an absolute advantage, but its strength is less than half of our army. In fact, its overall combat power is not as strong as our army! The main reason why our army has struggled so hard in the past few days is that our army has suffered repeated defeats over the years! Our army is psychologically in the position of a loser!~~~"

Queen Slan and the generals couldn't help but nod. Yes, a question that the Ross army had always thought about when facing the Qin army was, how to defend it, can it be defended? Instead of how to attack?

Cao Pi said to Queen Slan: "Empress, Chen Chu is very likely to really withdraw his troops! But I dare not be completely sure! How our army takes action, please make a decision!"

Queen Slan couldn't help but hesitate. After a moment, Queen Slan raised her head and glanced at the generals.

The generals realized that the queen had made a decision and couldn't help but push the rocker.

"Everyone, the current situation is very unfavorable to us! We can only take a risk!~~~~"

"Please give the order! We swear to serve the empire to the death!!" said the generals.

Queen Slan couldn't help but feel excited, "Okay! General of the Conquest South!~~"

"The last one is here!" Cao Pi agreed with his fists.

"I will make you the commander of the marching! Lead the Bear Legion, the Tiger Legion, and all the main legions except the 17th and 18th Legion to pursue the Qin army!" Queen Slan said decisively, with a determined look on her beautiful face.

Cao Pi couldn't help but be shocked and solemnly clasped his fists to agree.

Queen Slan glanced at the generals and said, "The rest of the generals are here to wait for the Grand General of the Conquest of the South to return triumphantly! General of the Conquest of the South, I will give you all the fate of the empire!"

Two hours later, Cao Pi led a 540,000 army to leave the fortress and chase southward. The troops and horses surged like waves, with a momentum of fighting against the water.

In the early morning, the Qin army retreated to a hill just over a hundred miles away from Luojia Mountain. A scout caught up with Chen Chu and reported urgently: "Your Majesty, the main force of the enemy has left the fortress and chased us!"

Chen Chu frowned and asked, "Where are you now?"

"The main force is thirty miles away! Eighty thousand cavalrymen are less than ten miles away!" the scout replied.

The generals looked at Chen Chu together.

"Your Majesty, you take the main force first, I will lead the cavalry to intercept them!" Lu Bu said bravely.

Chen Chu shook his head and thought, "There are less than 40,000 light cavalry left in the three legions, so it is not certain to resist the 80,000 cavalry of the opponent! Once the light cavalry is frustrated, the entire army is very likely to be attacked by the opponent's cavalry! The consequences are unimaginable! Besides, the opponent's main force is less than thirty miles away from our army!" Chen Chu couldn't help frowning and murmured: "I didn't expect Empress Ross and Cao Pi were so decisive!"

Chen Chu stood on the war horse and glanced at the hilly terrain beside him. The trend of this hill is the same as that of the Loga Mountains, and the length is similar to that of the Loga Mountains. The reason why it cannot become a defensive barrier is mainly because its terrain is relatively flat and it is impossible to prevent the enemy from passing through the entire line.

Chen Chu flatly ordered: "I ordered all troops to stop retreating! Build fortifications on the spot based on the terrain!" "Yes!"

At about this, Wen Pin on the east received a letter from Fei Ge who had retreated from Chen Chu. Wen Pin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and immediately ordered the army to retreat towards Luojia Mountain. However, Wen Pin didn't know that Chen Chu and his 250,000 troops under his command had been bitten by the other party.

The Qin army arranged four defensive fronts along the hills. The core of each defensive front was a trench. A dense array of horses was arranged in front of the trench, and behind the trench was a row of tower shields; behind the four defense lines were three camps, each camp was built around several hills, and a circle of fences was surrounded by the outermost area. The arrangement in the camp was basically the same as that of ordinary camps. In addition, the hills in the camps were set up as artillery arrays, and all the Qin army's artillery was arranged on these commanding heights!

The Qin army's camp was not fully arranged, and the 80,000 cavalry of the Ross army came a few miles in front of the front. Seeing the scene in front of him, the Ross cavalry immediately stopped the war horses.

"Your Majesty, let me attack!" Lu Bu asked for battle excitedly.

Chen Chu patted Lu Bu on the shoulder and shook his head, "No need!~~" turned his head and said to the messenger: "Let the giant beast cannon bombard him!" "Yes!"

Just as the Ross cavalry was hesitating whether to take the opportunity to attack or retreat temporarily, a shocking roar suddenly came from the front, and all of them were shocked. Before he could react, several huge shells fell not far from the front of the Ross cavalry group, causing dust to spread. The scene was thrilling. Some Ross war horses were frightened and neighed uneasy, and the Ross knight struggled to control the war horse under his crotch.

Just as the giant beast cannon was preparing for the second wave of shooting, the 80,000 Ross cavalry rolled up dust and smoke and headed towards the north.

Chen Chu smiled coldly and ordered the generals around him: "Hurry up and build the fortifications!" "Yes!" The generals agreed with their fists.

"Jiang Tai, how long will our army's food and grass last for long?" Chen Chu asked.

Jiang Tai clasped his fists and replied: "Report to Your Majesty, our military food and grass are only enough for ten days!"

Chen Chu frowned, "Immediately send an order from Beigu City to transport all the food and grass here as much as possible!" "Yes!"

"Fengxian~~!" Chen Chu called out.

"Your Majesty!" Lu Bu agreed with his fists.

"You immediately lead all the light cavalry to Luojia Mountain to pick up the food and grass from Beigu City! These food and grass are crucial to us! Never lose it!"

"yes!"

In the evening of that day, the main force of the Ross army finally arrived in front of the Qin army's front, and the marching speed was really fast.

The Ross army set up camp five miles away from the Qin army's defensive front. The reason why they were so far away was to prevent the Qin army from bombarding with giant beast cannons.

That night, the Ross Army camp.

Cao Pi and his generals stood in front of the sand table. General Kaslo frowned and said, "I didn't expect that the Qin army would give up the south early and set up camps on the spot! General, what should we do? Will we attack for a strong attack?"

Cao Pi pointed at the four defensive fronts of the Qin army with his finger, "It is difficult to break through these four fronts! And the Qin army camps surrounded the commanding heights in this area, and their artillery was placed on the commanding heights!~~~" Cao Pi couldn't help but sigh and sighed: "This battle is very difficult to fight!"
