Chapter 890

Two days later, Chen Chu led nearly 300,000 troops to launch a strong attack on the Kushan army on the north bank of the Mangshu River. After a day of bloody battle, both sides felt a little tired.

The Kushan Army Camp on the North Shore.

"I didn't expect that the Qin army was really like what the general in Zhenxi said!" The eldest prince Yue Duo, who stood on the left, said with some emotion. Before that, he thought that the Qin army was really as Hable said, and his heart was full of longing for great victory and triumphal success, but now he felt that victory was so far away from him.

Yue Kefeng, who was sitting in the position of command, said calmly: "I was still vulnerable to the Qin army before confronting the Qin army! Your Highness may not know that the army that confronted our army today was not the elite who defeated the troops of the Stone that day. The combat power of the two was very different!"

The eastern military generals brought by Yueduo and Yueduo were shocked, "What! Isn't it that the one who confronted me today is the elite of the Qin army?" Yueduo asked in disbelief.

Yue Kefeng nodded, "According to the scout's report, the Qin army that launched the attack during the day today is the army of the Seventh Army of the Qin army, and the sixth, seventh and eighth army of the Qin army are all troops reorganized in the civil war, and their combat power is still a distance from the main force of the Qin army! I said that these are not to show off for the Han people, but to make Your Highness and the generals of the Eastern Army understand the strength of our opponents. You must not suffer unnecessary losses because of carelessness and underestimation of the enemy! In addition, please note that there is an elite army in the Qin army wearing golden heavy armor and using a sword over two meters long. The strength of the combat is almost incomparable. Thousands of them can kill tens of thousands of us into a defeat!"

"What army?" Yue Duo asked in surprise.

"Mo Daojun! This is what the Han people call them!"

Chen Chu inspected the army; soldiers from each battalion gathered around the campfire while having supper while talking enthusiastically. Whenever he saw Chen Chu coming, he quickly stood up and saluted. His eyes were full of respect when he looked at Chen Chu. Whenever he was at this time, Chen Chu would stop and chat with the soldiers.

Chen Chu returned to the tent and smiled at the deputy commander of the Seventh Legion and said, "I originally thought that the Seventh Legion could not be compared with the main force in any aspect, but when I saw it today, I found that you are at least not inferior to other main forces in morale!" It can be heard that Chen Chu was very satisfied with the performance of the Seventh Legion.

The deputy commander couldn't help but feel a little excited and clasped his fists and said, "Thank you for your praise!"

Chen Chu returned to the main seat and sat down, frowned slightly and said, "However, the performance of the Seventh Legion during the day still cannot satisfy me. I hope to see a group of bloodthirsty tigers in the next battle!"

The deputy commander knelt down on one knee and said, "The general will definitely live up to your high expectations!" He seemed very excited, and he was holding his breath.

Chen Chu nodded and turned his head to ask Shen Tao, the deputy general of the Iron Wall Guard, who was standing aside, said, "Have you sent a letter to the Feige from Luoyang?" Chen Chu asked Shen Tao to send a letter to Luoyang for Feige from Luoyang not long ago, urging Luoyang to transport various weapons and supplies to the Pamir Fortress as soon as possible.

Shen Tao replied: "It has been sent as His Majesty's request!"

"Yes." Chen Chu glanced at the generals under the tent and said loudly: "Generals, if there is nothing to do, please go back to the camp to rest! Zilong, Meng Qi, Han Sheng, you three stay!"

After the generals retreated, Chen Chu stood up and walked to the sand table in the center of the tent. Zhao Yun, Ma Chao and Huang Zhong stood on both sides of Chen Chu.

Chen Chu pointed to the current mulberry river channel: "Although this river is not wide, it is very deep, with many water and land turbulent places, only this section in front of you is relatively gentle! However, if you only have this river, you cannot launch a decisive counterattack against the enemy!" After pausing, he said to Ma Chao: "Meng Qi, immediately send a scout team along the river to find a place where you can cross the river. If you find it, you will immediately repay it!" Ma Chao agreed with his fists.

"What do you think about the current war?" Chen Chu asked the other two.

The three generals looked at each other, and Zhao Yun clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, our army's current primary task is to remove the siege of Kangju. However, according to the current situation in Kangju, they may not be able to persevere until our army defeats the enemy in front of us!"

Chen Chu frowned and asked, "Zilong thinks we should do it."

Zhao Yun pointed to a hilly corridor northeast of the Rainbow Canyon: "The last general thought that a cavalry should be sent from here to the Kangju Royal Capital day and night! At present, the main force of Kushan has been restrained by our army, and half of the troops attacking Crow Mountain have been driven. We can completely eliminate the enemy troops attacking Kangju Royal Capital first!"

Chen Chu lay on the sand table, looking thoughtful.

Chen Chu stood up, slammed the high five and said decisively: "Let's just change the original plan! Zilong and Hansheng, you two will stay here to attack the Kushan army in the north with great fanfare. Don't be stingy with the thunder in your hands!"

"But Your Majesty, is it too early to expose our army's powerful weapon?" Huang Zhong said worriedly.

Chen Chu shook his head, "It has been several years since the Botian Thunder came out. It may not be a secret for Kushan; and it is now a critical moment, and I don't want to see the soldiers put Botian Thunder aside and bleed in vain!"

The three generals couldn't help but feel a little moved, and clasped their fists together and said, "Your Majesty is wise!"

Chen Chu continued: "Meng Qi and Elai led 30,000 Canglang Iron Cavalry and 5,000 Iron Wall Guards through this hilly passage to attack the Kushan Army near the Kangju Royal Capital!"

All the three generals were shocked, and Zhao Yun opposed: "Although the hilly passage is a shortcut to the capital of Kangju, there are heavy troops who retreated from Crow Mountain not long ago nearby! Your Majesty's body of a thousand golds, if ~~"

Chen Chu interrupted Zhao Yun and smiled and said, "Zilong doesn't have to worry! The area here is vast and the terrain is complex. In addition, I will arrange enough scouts before the army!" Seeing that the three generals wanted to persuade him again, he said with a stern face: "Okay! I have decided, so there is no need to say anything else to the three generals!"

The three generals were helpless.

Before dawn the next day, Chen Chu gave some advice, and led 35,000 elite soldiers to quietly leave the camp on the south bank of the Mangshu River, along with Ma Chao and Dian Wei.

The morning sun slowly rises from a small ridge east of Luoyang. The warm and gentle sunshine gradually spreads on the earth, and the streets and alleys gradually become lively. Although it is the middle of winter, it exudes a strong heat.

Early in the morning, Zhang Rui, who was unable to rest, took Sun Ren to Luoyang Dacang, located in the northern suburb of the city. The active Zhen Mi, Daqiao, Cai Yan, and Diao Chan also came together. Luoyang Dacang occupied a wide area and was divided into five parts, which were stocked with grain, quilts, war horses, and mules and horses for transporting carts, armor and various large-scale weapons. The outer periphery was a circle of two meters high walls, and there was a sentry tower every other part. Every part of the Great Warehouse was surrounded by a circle of walls. There was also a sentry tower every other part, and soldiers stopped strictly at the exits at various parts. Zhang Rui and the queens of the harem and the imperial concubines ran to Luoyang Dacang early in the morning to do what?

When Zhang Rui and the others came to Luoyang Dacang, Luoyang Dacang was a busy scene. Various materials were being transported out of the Dacang and loaded the carriages waiting at the door. At least thousands of carriages gathered in the square outside the door, which was amazing.

Lu Su, who was supervising his work, received a report from his subordinates, saying that the queen and all the concubines had arrived. He was shocked and quickly trotted to the small lounge in the middle of Okura.

As soon as he saw Zhang Rui and the others drinking tea, he quickly knelt down and bowed, "I have seen the Empress and the Imperial Concubines!"

Zhang Rui said impatiently: "Get up! Don't kneel down at any time!"

"Yes." Lu Su stood up, lowered his head and asked, "I don't know what you are doing here." His tone seemed very surprised.

Zhang Rui coughed lightly and asked, "Master Lu, I don't know when the transportation team will set off."

Lu Su thought that Zhang Rui was just concerned about Chen Chu, who was on the front line now, so he immediately said: "The transport team will set off after noon today! The Empress does not have to worry about Your Majesty! Your Majesty has hundreds of thousands of troops around, and the four generals Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, Dian Wei, and Huang Zhong are all powerful generals with thousands of enemies!"
