Country and Beauty

Ziche Lu's plan was good, he took advantage of the opportunity to attack Chang'an City to force others to take over a few dozen tribes, and even the tasty Segment was swallowed up by him and Pu Hong. Fortunately, Murong Ke was extremely sharp, and escaped first. Otherwise, the thirty thousand people of Murong Tribe would also be eaten to the point that not even their bones would remain. Now that the Qin Army had counterattacked, the cannons along with the infantry charge had repeated this process four to five times, and the alliance of 500 thousand soldiers had lost more than 100 thousand people in just a single day, of which there were more than 200 thousand panicking horses.

Ziche Lu also knew that it was impossible for him to break through the Chang'an City with just his power. He originally wanted to drop his status and pay respects to Xie Fei, then ask for more benefits. It could be said that Ziche Lu's thoughts were not good. Looking at the tens of emperors in the past, other than the Qin Shi Huang and the Emperor of Han Wu who were not easy to fool, the other emperors would all accept this peace of interests and fame. However, Xie Fei was not the kind of person who would live to suffer and lose face. It could be said that Ziche Lu was just stealing food from a chicken house. Not only did he not get any benefits, he even became a loser.

At this time, not only did Ziche Lu feel pain, even Pu Hong felt the same. The Qin Army attacked from all sides. Although Pu Hong's losses were much lesser than Ziche Lu's, his foundation was not as thick as Ziche Lu's. The two of them had suffered heavy losses.

Ziche Lu heaved a long sigh in his tent, the Chang'an City was as sturdy as an iron wall, unable to defend against attacks, and had to suffer heavy losses. What should he do next? They would definitely not be able to defeat Qin Army, and since there were too few people, Qin Army would be unable to do anything to the allied army. The reason why the allied army lost this time was not because of the power of the cannons. If Xie Fei had a few hundred cannons with power similar to that of the future generations, he might be able to fight them down. More than four hundred cannons, over forty thousand rounds of artillery, but only caused tens of thousands of casualties. You have to know, it's on the battlefield at the upper Gangling Battlefield. " The United Nations army artillery and aviation force fired more than 1.9 million artillery shells and over 5000 bombs at the two mountaintops, which blew loose soil and stones from the two highlands of less than 4 square kilometers in area. Although the Qin Army had temporarily obtained victory in the war, that was because Rou Ran did not understand cannons. If they could get used to the cannons, perhaps they would not be afraid of the cannons at all.

Until heavy machine guns, tanks, and armoured vehicles were invented, the cavalry was still the king of land warfare in this era. Cavalry soldiers possessed an unparalleled speed. Under suitable terrain conditions, they would definitely become unstoppable hegemons. Historically, Shi Le had led twenty thousand cavalrymen to destroy a hundred thousand Jin Army under the Eastern Ocean King's command in one fell swoop, causing the Jin State to no longer have any way to fight.

It could be said that Ziche Lu's current situation was extremely awkward.

Ziche Lu stuttered: "Brother Pu, what do you think we should do?"

As the Alliance Master of the Grassland Alliance, Ziche Lu naturally could not start to withdraw his troops. Whoever spoke out now would have to bear the responsibility of this defeat. For Pu Hong to be able to become the Large Single On of a clan, his skills and strategy definitely weren't low. How could he not understand Ziche Lu's intention? If he were to retreat, then he would naturally have to bear the burden of his cowardly reputation. If he was to be burdened with such a cowardly reputation, then even his time in the clan's Large Single On would be over. Moreover, he would be torn apart by the raging prairie.

"Chief, I, the Grassland, have sworn an oath to become your Alliance through blood. I swear to follow the Khan and serve him as my master, so I will naturally listen to his commands!" Pu Hong calmly kicked the ball back.

These words were said in a beautiful manner that was watertight. Even if Ziche Lu was angry to the point that his teeth itched, he could not do anything about it.

Ziche Lu and Pu Hong looked at each other and laughed, cursing the old cunning fox.

Pu Hong knew what to say. "Chief, look at the situation in Changan An. What should our alliance do?"

Ziche Lu also had a headache, he lightly patted his forehead. After a long while, he let out a long sigh, looked at Pu Hong, and forced a smile, "How can I help?" "Only after a sunny day when the ground is dry can we ride on it with great ease. Only then will we, the warriors of the prairie, have a chance to show off our skills. So right now, we can only guard the camp and wait for the opportunity to move!"

Pu Hong knew that Ziche Lu didn't have any good methods. After Ziche Lu finished speaking, he leaned back on the bed and revealed a look of exhaustion. He excused himself and came out. So what if Ziche Lu decided to do it? Pu Hong couldn't be bothered about this, but he had already made up his mind to leave as soon as possible.

After Pu Hong left, Ziche Lu suddenly changed from his previously dispirited look to State, and asked: "What do you think, State?"

Xi Liyin sighed, "Cool, so what if our army has defeated Chang An? Right now, the strong on the prairie were no longer there. The strong Huns s in the east had already died, and the weak Murong Tribe s in the east were no longer in the climate. As for the Qin Army s, he had just gotten the Acropolis Province and Youzhou this year, so she would definitely be able to rest and hibernate in the following days. And at this moment, our Rou Ran Country has unified all the tribes in the prairie, making use of this time to stabilize the results. If they were able to smoothly develop for more than ten years, it wouldn't be too late for Rou Ran to become a strong soldier. Does the khan really think that Xie Fei is the khan's biggest enemy? "

Ziche Lu was startled, and blurted out a question: "Is it not?"

Xi Liyin laughed: "Qin Army's artillery is beneficial to us, their soldiers are brave and unparalleled. In Chang An, they might be able to match up with the warriors, but what if we fight in the prairie? The Chinese were not good at riding and shooting, so no matter how vicious the cannons were, they would not be able to outrun the horses. If the khan led his troops to attack the Qin Army on the prairie, would they be able to gain the upper hand? Even if we can't drag them to their deaths on the prairie, they will be exhausted to the point of death. "

Ziche Lu thought about it, that was true, back then the Han Wu Emperor used his overwhelming strength to attack the Huns, he mobilized five hundred thousand troops, and the number of civilians involved in the transport of supplies was over two million. In the end, although the Han Wu Emperor won, it was only a miserable victory. The two and a half million Chinese had come out, but only three hundred thousand had returned, and the elite cavalry was only forty to fifty thousand men. Ziche Lu hesitated for a moment, but he had no choice but to admit that Xi Liyin's plan was indeed the most suitable. Ziche Lu said: "State means that we should retreat?"

Xi Liyin nodded his head: "The khan's biggest enemy is not Xie Fei. Even if Xie Fei wants to get his hands on the Great Prairie, they will only be able to go north after ten to twenty years. However, the khan's greatest enemy is Pu Hong, who controls hundreds of thousands of strings. If the Khan unifies the Great Prairie and all tribes submit, what does Xie Fei have to fear? "

Ziche Lu patted his swollen head: "Even so, State will begin to arrange now!"

As the saying goes, "After the autumn, there was a fall rain and a day when there was a day when there was a day when there was a day when there was a day when there was a day when there was a day when there was a day when there was a cold rain. It meant that every rain after autumn would make the weather colder, but standing in the summer would be the opposite. Every rain will make the weather hotter.

The next day was a sunny day. In just half a morning, all the water on the ground had been evaporated by the sunlight. Although the road was still muddy, it was much better than the rainy days before.

Once Ziche Lu's order was given, almost two hundred thousand soldiers of Rou Ran Nation went into action as they prepared to set off. The movement of the two hundred thousand men was not small, but of course Ziche Lu did not try to cover it up, who would have thought that the clan's movements were not slower than a gentle person. This caused Ziche Lu to have the same opinion of Pu Hong as heroes.

When the alliance troops reacted to Xie Fei, Beigong Chun requested for Xie Fei to continue attacking.

Xie Fei said: "If you see it coming, then withdraw. The allied army just suffered from such a huge loss, how could they not be prepared for it. Attacking will only result in the loss of your troops! "

The Qin Army's equipment was better than the Allied Cavalry's, so it would not be a loss if they fought in close combat. However, he knew that Xie Fei was someone who did not wish to fight in a war of attrition.

Xie Fei looked at Beigong Chun's indignant expression and laughed: "General Bei Gong. "Since you're the one fighting, you should hurry up and prepare to take the captives."

Beigong Chun said: "It's the Emperor!"

Xie Fei pointed to Chang An's map and said, "There is no danger to Chang An. Once a war breaks out, Chang An will be faced with a calamity. If the enemy we face is not a mob, but a group of elite soldiers who can attack and defend, Chang'an will be in danger. Thus, after this war, we must reinforce our defenses in the Tongguan and construct the first line of defense for the east side of the Tongguan. The current walls of the Tongguan must have some effect, for three thousand soldiers to not be able to defend for even a day, it is simply making us angry. "

Xie Fei knew that in the history of the Western Entering Stone Castle, a thousand troops stopped a hundred thousand of the Tang army, and in the end, only broke the stone fort during the time they were in the Xuan sect. However, the Tang army had to pay the price of tens of thousands of casualties, and it took even more years.

"Tongguan must be able to slow down the enemies' advance. The city walls must be reinforced and increased in height.

Xie Fei's plan was good, but in Beigong Chun's eyes, it felt a little inconceivable. Even though the allied army was injured, but their strength was still there. Wasn't it too early to say all this now?

Xie Fei saw through Beigong Chun's doubt, and laughed: "From now on, there are no longer gentle people in the world, and no longer exist family members. We will delay the main force of the allied army at Chang An, and the hundred thousand riders from the prefecture and Youzhou will go deeper into the plains, to plunder their rear roads. If all the races on the prairie didn't have any plans for Chang'an, not to mention a hundred thousand cavalrymen, even three hundred thousand cavalrymen might not necessarily be able to accomplish anything on the prairie. But against those old, weak, and handicapped people, that is enough. "

Looking at Xie Fei's confident expression, Beigong Chun deeply agreed.

As Ziche Lu's vanguard, Mo Ke led the fifty thousand cavalry twenty thousand troops to lead the charge. Originally, Rou Ran did not have any infantry, but she had lost more than two hundred thousand war horses to the explosion of the Qin Army. Many of them had lost their war horses, and could only walk back on their two legs.

The allied army went straight south along the Wei River to Chang'an, so they naturally went back the same way they came. In front of them was Tyrant Water. As long as they passed it, they would be safe. Of course, there would be no shortage of people who had to cross the bridge. The Baja Bridge is located 12 kilometers east of Xi'an City. It is a very influential ancient bridge. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Qin Mugonggong was the overlord of the West, transforming the water into water and building the bridge, which was also called the "Bend Bridge". The bridge is 380 m long and 7 m wide, with a stone railing. There are 72 holes under the bridge. The span of each hole varies from 4 m to 7 m, and there are 408 columns.

At this point the scout reported, "The bridge is destroyed and the ferry cannot be found at the mouth of the river!"

When he reached the river, he saw that the river was slowly calming down like a mirror. Mo Ke was also at a loss. There was no response. He could only send people to ask State Xi Liyin.

Xi Liyin came to the side of the river and could not help but shake his head: "How hard is this? Send someone to test the depth of the water. If the water is deep, cut down the trees to make a pontoon bridge. "

Mo Ke quickly sent someone into the water, but when he did, he found out that it was laughable. The deepest part of the river was only chest high. Mo Ke couldn't help but sneer, "The Qin are just fools, do they think that they will stop us from going back to the grassland? "Although I am a gentle warrior and I don't know how to swim, it is not enough for me to drown you in such a deep water."

Just as he finished speaking, Xi Liyin's face changed. Mo was a vulgar person, but he was not. In the end, he had seen enough knowledge to immediately see through the crux of the problem. In the last ten days in Chang'an, the river should have soared.

Xi Liyin bellowed: "Not good, quickly retreat!"

nomadic peoples did not have any discipline to begin with. There were allied soldiers everywhere. Right now, the allied army had issued the order to retreat, and now, Xi Liyin was ordering them to retreat. Where should they retreat to? The Han Chinese on this prairie were completely confused and at a complete loss.

"Boom!" Just at this moment, a loud rumble resounded from the north. That sound reverberated endlessly like thunder. After storing water for a few days, the amount of water it contained could be imagined. Eight Waters had simultaneously opened up a gap from the upstream. Its power was not inferior to toppling mountains or overturning seas. Rumble … the ground began to shake as if ten thousand horses were galloping. The water in the river instantly surged up by a great amount. From the upper reaches of the river, a torrent of water surged forward with the momentum of thunder and lightning.

Furthermore, circular logs of varying sizes were floating on the surface of the water above, the torrent of logs and boulders were like a huge beast with its mouth wide open, swallowing the Allied Soldiers who was at a loss of what to do.

No matter how foolish the allied army was, they still knew that the Qin Army was attacking using water.

"Retreat at full speed!" Xi Liyin shouted.

Without needing Xi Liyin to arrange anything, they knew that they had to retreat. However, the people at the back wanted to rush towards the river, while the people in the front wanted to retreat. It was even more chaotic.

Just as Xi Liyin's heart was burning with anxiety, Mo Ke exploded with his fierce side. He commanded the three to four thousand personal guards to retreat while protecting Xi Liyin. This time, Mo Ke was being ruthless, commanding his personal guards to kill those extremely disorderly and gentle people. It was like Buddha blocking his way to exterminate Buddha, like how gods blocked the gods.

A vicious flood roared past, carrying a might that could destroy the heavens and earth, as it fiercely rushed towards the Allied Soldiers s. The gigantic tree in the water ferociously smashed onto the Allied Soldiers s who were fleeing in panic. Their mournful wails and roars … However, it could not stop the raging river water from surging forward.

Although the road surface had improved slightly, the running speed of the allied army's warhorses was much slower than the torrent. Tens of thousands of troops had been swallowed up by the torrent.

Xi Liyin turned his head to look, he wanted to cry but had no tears to shed.

Hundreds of thousands of Allied Soldiers were almost completely annihilated by the flood.

Ziche Lu sat in the middle of the carriage, preventing himself from being the first to be hit. This way, he would have more time to react. However, their situation was not good as well. Since Changan Nan Yi Qin Mountains was located at a slightly higher point, Ziche Lu had to flee towards the south.

Ziche Lu avoided the onslaught of the flood, but when he finished counting the troops, the number of three hundred thousand that followed him wasn't even ten thousand. Back then, all the clans of the Great Prairie had sworn an alliance with their blood, gathering seven hundred thousand troops to besiege Changan. In less than a month, only nearly ten thousand troops remained. Just as Ziche Lu was about to catch his breath and rest, an army came out from an unknown hill. The leader of the army shouted: "Capture Ziche Lu alive, don't even think about escaping Ziche Lu!"
