Fang Shouke was so angry that he directly grabbed the latter's collar.
Facing Fang Shouke's anger and rude actions, Luo Qian had nothing to say, but he did not regret doing so.
Because of this move, he saved most of his strength for the Jinling Navy. As long as we can hold Jinling City and wait for the triumphant return of the Grand Governor Xiao Huangqi, the siege of Jinling can be solved in an instant.
"General Fang, the firepower of the Qin army is too fierce. General Luo also ordered our army to retreat in order to preserve the strength of our Chu navy to minimize losses. Otherwise! Today there are 20,000 navy troops. , maybe all of them, let the Qin army annihilate them." The soldiers around Luo Qian directly explained the reason to Fang Shouke.
certainly! Fang Shouke knew Luo Qian's character very well. He knew that Luo Qian was not a random person who ran away from battle. Therefore! No more blaming.
"snort!"
Fang Shouke snorted coldly, glanced at Luo Qian, and then said: "General, I don't blame you, but you should go and tell the king yourself!"
"I will explain the matter clearly to your Majesty." Luo Qian bowed to Fang Shouke with great respect.
"If the whole army returns to Jinling City, if you are one step too late, your General Luo's life will not be saved." Fang Shouke said, immediately! A group of soldiers did not dare to hesitate and marched towards Jinling City in a hurry.
at this time! Yu Haoming completely occupied Jinling Port and killed thousands of Chu troops, leaving only more than a thousand people. He had no choice but to surrender to Yu Haoming.
but! I have to say that the quality of the Chu army is indeed much better than that of Chen's army. The Qin army led by him also suffered more than a thousand deaths in the chaos.
One can imagine! The Chu army can stand tall in the east of the Yangtze River, which naturally has its own merits.
Bang!
In the court hall of the State of Chu, when they learned that Luo Qian had lost the Dongfang Seal in Jinling Water Village, he became furious and smashed the wine glass in front of his table to the ground. The wine spilled all over the floor, scaring everyone and hurting his body. I was trembling and didn't dare to speak.
Angry... He was indeed angry. The Jinling Port guarded by 20,000 Chu troops was like this! Like tofu, if the Qin army took it away, how could he not be angry?
With trembling fingers, Dongfang Yin pointed directly at Fang Shouke and Luo Qian, and said coldly and solemnly: "Fang Shouke and Luo Qian, I have given the Jinling Navy to you two, so that you two can repel the Qin army and protect them." From Jinling Port.”
"And you...are fighting the Qin army and protecting Jinling Port like this?"
"Especially you, Luo Qian, running away from the battlefield is a capital crime."
"I will understand!" Luo Qian lowered his head and did not quibble.
Fang Shouke, on the other hand, was already anxious. What was going on in this guy's mind? It was obvious that he retreated to preserve his strength, so why didn't he tell the truth?
puff!
Fang Shouke knelt down directly and begged: "Your Majesty, please calm down! Your Majesty should know Luo Qian's character. Luo Qian did not abandon the people in the position just to survive. Luo Qian did it to preserve the main force of the Chu Navy. . It was for the purpose of defending the royal capital, so he led the army and withdrew from Jinling Port."
Um!
"Is it?"
Dongfang Yin stared at Luo Qian, but there was nothing strange in Luo Qian's eyes. It can be seen that this guy is indeed hiding the truth.
Just in time! As a military general, Xiao Shan also stood up, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, Luo Qian's move was not only right! On the contrary, your Majesty should also commend General Luo, because this move saved most of Chu's navy. "
As a veteran, Xiao Shan naturally saw the correctness of Luo Qian's move. If we divide our troops and defend the Jinling Water Village, it will be easy for Yu Haoming to defeat them one by one, then! If this is the case, the royal capital is really in danger.
After receiving Xiao Shan's plea, Dongfang Yin's anger dissipated a lot. For the current plan, the only person Jinling can rely on is Xiaoshan.
"That's all! Since the old general is interceding for you, I don't care. You two should retreat first!" Dongfang Yin said casually.
Turning around, he looked at Xiao Shan and asked: "General, tell me, what should we do next? Yu Haoming's navy is almost at Jinling City."
Xiao Shan stroked the beard under his mouth, rolled his eyes, and immediately came up with a solution, "Your Majesty, we now have 32,000 soldiers in Jinling City. If we recruit servants from a noble clan, we in Jinling City can gather them together." A 50,000-strong army is not a problem."
"Furthermore, from what I can see, Yu Haoming's intention here is not Jinling City, but Jinling Port and the Jinling Navy... He, Yu Haoming, wants to cut off my transportation route on the Huaichuan River!"
"So! As long as we take strict precautions, Yu Haoming will be helpless against Jinling. After the governor defeats the Qin army at the front, Yu Haoming will naturally retreat."
call!
Dongfang Yin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's it! The defense of Jinling in the near future will be led by the general!"
"General, take your orders!" Xiao Shan bowed solemnly.
At this time, all the ministers were extremely worried, after all! If this Xiao Huangqi can't defeat the Qin army, then! Chu State will have to be destroyed.
A night without words, suddenly dawn!
There was a big attack on Chu, and the battle was imminent.
In the Qin army's camp, preparations were also being made nervously and urgently.
Dongfang Yu finally took out the magic weapon that Liu Wenqin secretly made.
As soon as this thing came out, it instantly attracted the attention of many soldiers.
"What is this!"
"It's made of paper, and there's a brazier on it! What's it for?"
All the soldiers looked curious and couldn't understand what these were.
"Your Majesty, this lamp doesn't look like a lamp. What is it? Moreover! There is such a big basket under these paper lamps..." Even Xu Meng was confused.
Even with his well-informed eyesight, he couldn't even see through this thing. and! It took half a month to build two thousand such lamps, which felt a bit expensive.
"hehe!"
Dongfang Yu smiled calmly on his face, looked at Xu Meng, Yu Wenhu and other generals, and explained: "This was researched by an inventor. This man is really talented. This lamp! He invented it. He named it Kongming lantern?"
"However, Gu just modified this thing slightly. As long as a person stands on it, he can fly into the sky."
What……
As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was shocked.
"Your Majesty, this thing can make people fly in the sky? How is this possible?" Xu Meng doesn't look like that, of course! No one believed it.
Dongfang Yu was extremely helpless and did not need an explanation. He said: "If you say you can fly, you can fly. Tonight is the general attack on the Chu army. This Kong Ming lantern will serve as the front army and drop kerosene towards the Chu army's camp." , as long as there is fire. No matter what method Xiao Huangqi uses to isolate the source of the fire, he cannot withstand the burning of kerosene!"
