"Marshal, General Qi said that the Star Army has dispatched elite soldiers. If the fight continues, our casualties will continue to increase." Facing the angry-looking Shi Jiangchuan, the new herald was also extremely nervous, fearing that their commander would When angry, take it out on them first.
"Elite soldiers," Shi Jiangchuan muttered silently, and suddenly looked at the long city wall with a suspicious look on his face. Just like before, his own soldiers were constantly being killed by the enemy. Some even dared not climb the city because of excessive fear. Instead, he took the initiative to jump off the top of the ladder, preferring to be a deserter rather than die in the hands of the Star Army. The scene shocked and angered him.
Soon, only the Star Army in silver armor was left beside the long city wall. The area for fighting became less and less. Those who wanted to climb from the top of the ladder to the city were killed by the Star Army without exception. There is no chance of climbing the city. If they continue to attack the city, just as Qi Wei said, the casualties will continue to increase.
Unexpectedly, his side was defeated to such an extent in a blink of an eye. While shocked, Shi Jiangchuan wondered with some horror whether the star troops on the city were all high-level martial arts cultivators, otherwise it would be difficult for him to believe the fact that his side was defeated.
When he was talking to Tie Xin before, he was deeply proud of the bravery of his own soldiers. In the blink of an eye, he fell from the clouds to the bottom. Even as the commander-in-chief of the three armies, he could not remain calm when facing this contrast.
At the same time, Tie Xin, who was not far away, was not in the mood to secretly laugh at Shi Jiangchuan. Shi Jiangchuan was indeed complacent about Yang Jun's majesty before, but it was still okay. What surprised him was that Yang Jun, who was about to gain the upper hand, unexpectedly In an instant, he was defeated by the Star Army and was completely defeated. Although it was not clear what the specific fighting situation between the two armies in the city was, the terrifying nature of the elite Star Army was obvious. As an ally of Yang Guo, facing the current situation, he felt the same in his heart. Was greatly shocked.
"Withdraw troops," just when Tie Xin was thinking about how powerful the elite Star Army was, despite his reluctance, after thinking for a while, Shi Jiangchuan decided to withdraw his troops.
At his order, a rush of gongs sounded from behind the Yang army. The Yang army, which had been coming like a tidal wave, fled in panic in the blink of an eye, running quickly away from the city wall one by one, for fear that if they took a step slower, they would become corpse.
The rapid sound of gongs also surprised Yan Nantian. He originally wanted to attack the Yang army's archers after stabilizing the situation, but now the enemy took the initiative to retreat and used archers to suppress his own counterattack. In order to ensure the safety of the star troops on the city, he They could only order the star troops on both sides of the tower to be careful. Even if they could not kill the fleeing enemy troops, they would not be killed by the enemy's random arrows.
After receiving Yan Nantian's instructions, the star armies on both sides were no longer busy attacking the retreating Yang army, and instead quickly approached the city wall, hoping to use the city wall as a bunker to protect them from the enemy's bows and arrows.
The Yang troops who fled in panic under the city left behind many injured companions and a large number of ladders used to attack the city. They retreated one after another to the position where archers were arrayed dozens of meters away from the city wall. I feel a little relieved.
Qi Wei, who was standing directly opposite the city tower, frowned. Today's attack on the city failed. Although the main reason was that the elite combat power of the Star Army was too strong, he still had to bear the consequences of the defeat. He didn't know the elite of the Star Army. Just how powerful they were. Before leaving, he looked over the Star Army in the city. He didn't stop looking until he saw Lu Yunyou under a flag.
There was no joy or panic on that familiar face. Instead, he was so calm. If Lu Yunyou really won the title of Wolf General based on his own strength, then according to Qi Wei's calculation, the Star Army would definitely not be as good as they expected. It was so easy to deal with him. With this mentality, he directly ordered the archers to retreat.
After a period of time, all the Yang troops had retreated to safe positions and suffered a defeat. The hastily arranged array of the Yang troops was no longer as neat as it was at first, and looked much scattered.
In addition, due to the withdrawal of Yang's army, the next step is to clean up the battlefield. Although the Star Army won today, the battlefield is not as easy to deal with as usual. If the coalition forces don't leave for a moment, the Star Army cannot relax its vigilance for a moment.
"Marshal, all our soldiers have withdrawn to safe positions." After waiting for his own soldiers to return to the team, Qi Wei hurriedly rode back to return to Shi Jiangchuan.
"You must bring the corpses of the soldiers back to me." Seeing the corpses of his own soldiers piled up under the city, the anger in Shi Jiangchuan's eyes slowly dissipated. At this point, he could only accept the fact that Yang's army was defeated.
Even if this situation was not expected, a defeat was a defeat. As the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces, he still showed his own courage. After all, the top priority was not his own face.
"I'm afraid the Xingjun won't cooperate easily," Shi Jiangchuan's deep voice revealed Shi Jiangchuan's complicated mood at the moment. Qi Wei wanted to complete the task assigned to him by Shi Jiangchuan, but things were not easy to get started.
"Marshal Tie, I still need your help in this matter," Shi Jiangchuan did not answer Qi Wei directly, but looked directly at Tie Xin aside.
"Don't worry, Marshal Shi, I will definitely send all the archers to assist you," Tiexin said with a look on his face, and instantly understood what Shi Jiangchuan meant.
"Then Marshal Lao Tie will send troops to help." At the critical moment, Shi Jiangchuan's leadership style was fully displayed, and his movements showed a calm demeanor. He no longer showed the emotion of defeat on his face, and his tone of voice was the same as when he talked with Tiexin before. They were completely different, so facing the current Shi Jiangchuan, Tie Xin still felt a sense of awe.
"General Qi, go and tell the Star Army generals in the city that as long as they don't interfere with our army carrying away the bodies of the soldiers, our army will not attack them. Otherwise, none of the Star Army who have not retreated in the city will be able to leave." Seeing Tie Xin's agreement, Shi Jiangchuan turned around and told Qi Wei.
"Yes," he agreed, and Qi Wei immediately took the order and left.
At the same time, in the main hall of the city tower, Yan Nantian had already passed the news of the enemy's withdrawal to Zhao Xu, but in fact, after hearing the gongs outside the city just now, Lan Xu and Zhang Dadan guessed that the enemy was retreating. The surging Yang army was defeated quickly, but it did not surprise many people.
Soon after, Yan Nantian informed Lan Xu that the enemy army was asking for the body of Yang Jun on the city. Lan Xu's reply was that it was acceptable. The corresponding exchange condition was that all the weapons on and off the city belonged to the Xing Army. As the winner, , Yang Guo wanted to give them the opportunity to clear the battlefield first. To put it simply, Shi Jiangchuan had to agree to the conditions of the Xing Army before the Xing Army would send Yang Jun’s body.
Of course, everything was negotiated between Yan Nantian and the other party. Putting aside these things, as time passed, the news of the Star Army's victory soon spread to Fancheng. After receiving the news, Ruan Sihai immediately informed the people in the city that the two armies were obviously Before the casualties were counted, Ruan Sihai had already told the people that today the Star Army directly defeated the coalition offensive with one to ten.
His move was to create a strong image for the Star Army in order to appease people's hearts. Although Fancheng is large, if all the people fled, it would only become an empty frame in the end. After years of hard work, he would naturally Don't want to see this happen.
Under Ruan Sihai's special propaganda, the situation in the city gradually stabilized. In the blink of an eye, an hour had passed since Shi Jiangchuan ordered the withdrawal. After agreeing to Lan Xu's conditions, Yang Jun had successfully transported away the bodies of his fallen soldiers. All coalition forces withdrew.
Compared with Yang Jun, there were not many Star Army people who fell under the city. Lan Xu had to clear the battlefield first, with the purpose of targeting weapons and the like. Yang Jun's weapons and equipment were obviously better than them, and those would Reward the three armies as spoils of war
In addition, not long after the coalition forces retreated, the casualties of both sides were calculated. The Star Army had 3,000 wounded and 4,000 dead. The enemy's death toll was more than 20,000, and there were also many injured.
In just half an hour, the Yang army lost 20,000 troops. The loss was staggering, but what was more serious was that the morale of the Yang army suffered a huge blow.
During the withdrawal, Shi Jiangchuan directly discussed the wartime situation with Tie Xin. According to the situation reported by the generals of the Yang Army who fled from the city, the elite of the Star Army was indeed extraordinary.
It is not difficult to guess that those so-called elite soldiers are all veterans of the Star Army, and the overall number will not be more than the recruits. Unfortunately, even so, today's battle still made them realize that the bone of the Star Army is more difficult to chew than they imagined. , after returning to the coalition camp, whether to continue to implement the plan to weaken the Star Army has become an issue that both sides urgently need to discuss.
In any case, after the coalition forces withdrew, calm gradually returned to the city gate. The result of the death of four thousand people is not a big deal, but it is by no means a loss that can be ignored for the Star Army. An attack by the coalition forces still made Lan Lan Xu and other senior military officials felt a lot of pressure, so after the casualty figures were tallied, Lan Xu immediately convened the generals for a meeting, and everyone with the title of Wolf General was required to be present.
