Chapter 1473
Just when Yusuf was in a state of uneasiness, Julia's letter from Schneider arrived, which said that Ma Chao's cavalry escaped from the siege by chance and is now fleeing eastward.
Yusufu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but he felt a little inexplicably worried.
On the same day, Chen Chu, who was far away in Ekebatana, received a letter from Ma Chao from Fei Ge. After reading it, he immediately summoned the generals.
"Your Majesty, are you going to attack?" Lu Bu asked excitedly.
Chen Chu smiled, "Now is not the time to attack!" Yang Yang's hand sent a letter and frowned: "Meng Qi was ambushed by the Roman army last night! Fortunately, Meng Qi broke out!~~"
Zhao Yun thought, "Your Majesty, are you going to pick up General Meng Qi?"
Chen Chu nodded with a smile, then shook his head, "Zilong guessed halfway! We are going to take over Meng Qi, but this is the subsequent task. What we need to do now is to cooperate with Meng Qi to create the illusion of their retreating east!~~"
The generals looked at each other.
Chen Chu explained: "Meng Qi used a unit of troops to lead the enemy's scouts last night, creating the illusion of a large army retreating eastward! In fact, Meng Qi led the main force toward Dura Europos in the west!~~"
After hearing Chen Chu say this, Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao understood.
"~~.I decided to use the main force to go out to Qingshiling to get a village in front of you!"
Zhang Liao nodded and said, "Since this happens, the other party must have thought that our army was going forward to suppress Meng Qi's cavalry to support Meng Qi's cavalry, and he is even more convinced of Meng Qi's move to retreat east!"
"Not bad! This is exactly what I want! Zilong,~~"
"The last one will be here!"
"You lead 300,000 people to Qingshiling to get off the village! Remember, you just need to stalemate with the enemy!" "Yes!"
Chen Chu glanced at the generals in the hall, "The rest of them are here with me and are ready to support Zilong at any time!" "Yes!" The generals agreed in unison.
After the generals retreated, Chen Chu rubbed his forehead, feeling a little exhausted.
Zhang Rui, Wen Yuan and Sun Ren, who stood behind Chen Chu in military uniform, couldn't help feeling distressed, "Brother, are you okay!"
Chen Chu turned his head and smiled at the three girls, hugged Sun Ren who was standing in and out, pressed his head on Sun Ren's lower abdomen, and closed his eyes. Sun Ren said with a red look: "Big, big brother, you, this~~~"
Chen Chu hugged Sun Ren and closed his eyes and said, "Don't talk, just let your elder brother hold you quietly!"
When Sun Ren saw Chen Chu's weak appearance, his motherly emotions immediately surged into his heart. He couldn't help but hug Chen Chu's head and gently stroked it. Zhang Rui and Wen Yuan stood quietly aside with a gentle smile on her face.
Two days later, Zhao Yun led an army of 300,000 to the vicinity of Qingshiling.
The temporary palace of Juliya in Qinxifeng.
Just as Julia was discussing military affairs with the generals, a scout rushed in and reported: "Your Majesty, the Qin army has arrived at Qingshiling!"
Everyone was stunned, and Julia asked anxiously: "How many people are there? Who is the leader?"
"About 300,000 to 400,000 people, the leading general is Zhao Yun, the general of the Qin army!"
When he heard Zhao Yun's name, Zhu Liya couldn't help but feel relieved, and her beautiful face turned red for no reason. She came back to her senses, hurriedly looked serious, glanced around her, and found that no one noticed her, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
At this time, a general said in confusion: "Are 300,000 to 400,000 people coming to die?"
Zhu Liya said in a deep voice: "He won't come to die! It must be the Emperor of Qin that asked him to lead his army to temporarily suppress our army so that their Canglang Camp iron cavalry could safely retreat into their sphere of influence!"
"Then what should we do? Why not defeat the Qin army in front of us in one go!"
Julia thought for a moment and ordered decisively: "Send the order to attack the enemy camps, the 3rd Legion, the 7th Legion, the 10th Legion, and the 14th Legion! Let Schneider lead the army back immediately!" "Yes!"
On that day, the Roman army launched a fierce attack on the Qin army camp opposite Qingshiling, which relied on the hilly terrain. The fierce battle lasted for a day, and both sides paid a considerable price. The Roman army temporarily quit.
The news that Zhao Yun led the army to the front of Qingshiling reached Yusufu that night. Yusufu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, only to feel that the big stone that had been pressing on his heart these days had completely disappeared.
At the same time, Schneider, who received Julia's order, led a large army to Qinxifeng.
One day later, in the evening, a grain transport team of about 10,000 people came to Dura Europos, and the team was dragged long and seemed a little loose.
Standing on the city gate tower, Yusufu looked at the team and said dissatisfiedly: "The waste of the local security forces! The war is not over yet! It's so lazy!" He turned his head and asked a secretary beside him, "Is there a grain transport team coming to receive the food?" The secretary replied immediately: "Yes! The notice said that a grain transport team composed of 10,000 security troops arrived around the evening!" As he said that, he took out a letter and presented it to Yusufu. Yusufu took it, read it, nodded, "Well!" Yusufu said to the generals beside him, "You contact them, don't bother me with such trivial matters!" "Yes!" The general replied.
Yusufu turned his head and glanced at the team outside the city, turned around and got off the city wall.
About three quarters of an hour later, the grain transport team arrived in front of the city gate. The leader shouted at the city gate tower, and then showed the documents to the generals on the city gate tower. The general confirmed that it was correct and ordered the city gate to be opened.
The city gate was slowly opened, and the officer who led the team shouted behind him and led the team to slowly enter the city gate. Everything was no different from usual.
The soldiers at the city gate looked at the lazy guards passing by, and couldn't help but show a look of contempt. However, a soldier suddenly saw a hint of heart-pounding coldness flashing in the eyes of the "guard soldier" passing by in front of him, and couldn't help but be stunned. Just as he was stunned, nearly a thousand "guard soldiers" who had entered the city gate suddenly launched and killed dozens of soldiers near the city gate with lightning speed. The dozens of soldiers fell in a pool of blood before they came to their senses.
Then these people wearing Roman guards armor rushed up to the city gate tower like wolves and tigers, and the Roman defenders were quickly defeated. At this time, a shrill alarm bell rang out loud. Yusufu, who was about to have supper, suddenly stood up. The personal soldiers beside him couldn't help but show a look of confusion.
"Not good!" Yusufu shouted, quickly put on his armor, lifted up his weapons, and rushed out of the capital with dozens of personal soldiers. As soon as he rushed out of the gate, he ran into an officer who was rushing toward him.
"What's going on?"
The officer said anxiously: "Not good! The enemy has captured the East City Gate!"
Yusufu frowned, "How many people are there? How did they capture the city gate?"
"Around ten thousand people! It's the food transport teams just now!"
When he heard this, Yusufu understood completely and said with annoyance: "We are all fooled! Go and order the Spartan Legion to fight back immediately!" "Yes!" The officer replied with a promise and was about to leave immediately. "Come back! order the 12th Legion to go to the protection granary immediately!" "Yes!"
Yusufu thought for a while and led his personal troops to the east gate.
When Yusufu arrived not far from the east city, he saw his soldiers defeated the city, and the Qin cavalry was surging in.
Yusufu frowned and murmured: "It's too late!"
At this time, an officer rushed over and reported: "General, the Spartan Army has arrived!"
