"I am afraid that my more than [-] iron-blooded crossbow cavalry will suffer heavy casualties! The last general is incompetent! The last general is incompetent!" Pang Julong was extremely sad and guilty.

The eight-foot tall man, like a child, shed tears of grief for the first time.

"General... Our army was able to withdraw because General Pang gave the order to retreat in time... If Pang Julong hadn't seen the flames in the woods and quickly ordered our army to retreat, I'm afraid... I'm afraid... I wouldn't blame General Pang for this. Ah... I can only blame the enemy for being too insidious!" A general said sadly with runny nose.

Zheng Ba was also extremely sad in his heart, but he knew that he had to be strong, so he calmed down and said in a deep voice: "Big dragon... these have nothing to do with you... This is a decision I made, how can I blame you? ? No matter what, as long as you come back alive! General Chu Army... I will catch him, kneel in front of you and kowtow to apologize!"

"Cough...cough..."

"Cough...cough..."

The returning Iron-Blooded Crossbow Cavalry all fell off their horses, holding their necks with both hands and coughing violently.

Of the more than [-] Iron-Blooded Crossbow Cavalry, only [-] came back, and the rest were all left in the woods, either burned to death by the fire or choked to death by the smoke.

Zheng Ba's face was extremely gloomy.

This is definitely the heaviest casualty since the army went out for battle.

then.

Just when Zheng Ba was about to order the entire army to rest for a day or two, the sounds of rushing and killing came from the woods on both sides that were not covered by flames.

Then tens of thousands of spearmen were seen fighting out of it.

Seeing these spearmen, Zheng Ba's mouth turned into a sinister laugh.

Oh shit!

I was waiting for you to come and die, but I didn’t expect that you would actually dare to come.

Do you really think that my army is all made of mud?

It's enough to kill my more than [-] iron-blooded crossbow cavalry, but you also want to take the opportunity to kill all the soldiers and horses under my command?

You are looking for death!

"Violent sharpshooters and rock crossbowmen obey orders!! When the enemy comes into range, shoot with all your might! Damn it... don't save me money! I will kill all the enemies who rush out and ride for my iron-blooded crossbow. The army takes revenge!”

I was worried that I had nowhere to vent my anger, so I came to seek death.

It's really dozing off and sending pillows!

Zheng Ba gave the order, and the spearmen who rushed out of the woods encountered a fierce attack as soon as they entered the range of the violent sharpshooters.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

Arrows passed through the void and fell into the enemy's troops.

In just one attack, the Chu spearmen left more than [-] corpses.

The soldiers in the front suffered heavy losses, and the soldiers in the rear were so frightened that they immediately stopped charging and retreated into the woods.

"General... these guys are as cowardly as rats... How dare you fight our army? Do you really think that your soldiers and horses are all heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals?" Pang Julong stopped coughing, cleared his throat, and got on his horse. , we must kill him.

The Panshi Lancers and Crossbowmen also put away their repeating crossbows and were ready to pursue them.

Zheng Ba wanted to pursue him, but he remembered the terrifying catapult.

He shouted suddenly: "Don't chase the poor bandits!!"

"Ah? Why?" Pang Julong was puzzled.

The Rock Spear and Crossbowmen were also confused.

Everyone turned their attention to Zheng Ba.

Zheng Ba said in a deep voice: "The enemy sent so many soldiers and horses here not because they really want to fight with us! But... to lure us into taking the bait! I'm afraid they have already set up a second line of defense on the way our army is pursuing. Ambush! Once our army goes deep, it will inevitably suffer heavy losses again! Maybe... the forest will be burned down for the second time, and it will happen again!"

When he thought of catapults and burning woods, Pang Julong shrank his head, then clenched his fists, filled with rage, and even bit his mouth so hard that he wanted to kill the enemy general with one punch.

"The general sent by the Chu army this time is a guy who is well versed in strategy and tactics! This guy's combat level is far higher than Dong Aolai and Guo Xun! I'm afraid he is no less than the general who protects the country! If our army relies on blindly If we attack fiercely, I'm afraid there will be heavy casualties!" Zheng Ba calmed down and narrowed his eyes.

"What tactics are the generals planning to adopt?" Pang Julong asked.

"He can lure the enemy deep, why can't our army lure the enemy deep?" Zheng Ba said with narrowed eyes.

"Please tell me, General!" Pang Julong really didn't understand Zheng Ba's inner thoughts.

"Inform the soldiers to pull up the camp on the spot and rest for the night! Inform the fire cook to bury the pot on the spot to make rice. The whole army will have a feast tonight! Inform the messengers to closely monitor all surrounding conditions!" Zheng Bayi issued the order Three commands.

"Is it right here?" Pang Julong was confused.

"Right here!" Zheng Ba said firmly.

"Okay!" Pang Julong went to give the order.

After the army had eaten, night was about to fall.

Zheng Bayi gave an order, and all the soldiers withdrew from the camp overnight and ambush around them.

As for the burning grove, it had long been completely burned in the fire.

The army withdrew from the camp, leaving only hundreds of soldiers and thousands of soldiers wearing armor and helmets on night duty, waiting for the enemy to arrive.

But one night passed, and the enemy troops did not come.

Zheng Ba did not lose heart and led his army back to camp before the sky turned white the next day.

Then he ordered the soldiers to remove the thatch and continue to rest.

Many crossbowmen suffered smoke invasion and suffered lung infections. They are gradually recovering under the treatment of military doctors.

War cannot be solved in a day or two, and Zheng Ba's old problem - stability, also happened here.

Rest during the day, withdraw at night, and wait for the Chu army to attack.

Now he dared not advance along the avenue, dozens of catapults were no joke.

Once they encounter an ambush again, they will cause casualties to the army again.

These soldiers and horses under his command are all elite soldiers, and the death of any one of them will make people feel distressed.

………………

Great Chu Empire.

Inside the Qiankun Palace.

The news of Zheng Ba's army invading Dachu had already reached the ears of Empress Chu Xuanji like the wind.

When Chu Xuanji heard that Li Kunpeng led the army and abandoned Tiger City, she was furious and issued a special edict asking Li Kunpeng why he abandoned Tiger City.

After Li Kunpeng received the news, he only replied with eight words to the empress - use retreat to advance and lure the enemy deeper!

These eight words made Chu Xuanji seem to realize something, and then she did not pursue the responsibility, but just patiently waited for the battle report later.

The empress was overjoyed.

The ministers in the DPRK also breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed that he was withdrawing from the Tiger City, but in fact he was luring the enemy deep into the city and breaking them one by one! First there were bombings with catapults, and then the woods were set on fire. In the battle, the Yan army lost troops and generals, and suffered heavy losses! Such great achievements are enough to mark the annals of history!"
