Zhou Tai led an army of 30,000 men to the south bank of the Pipa River in a rapid march, but he was still a step late, and the pontoon bridge on the Pipa River was already raging in flames.

Zhou Tai was immediately on the bank of the river, about to go to the fortress on the opposite bank, only to see the fire rushing to the sky, faintly hearing the sound of killing, and his heart couldn't help but be anxious.

Zhou Tai ordered the army to stand by the shore, ordered all the scouts to spill, sent a group of troops along the river to collect the boats that had built the pontoon bridge, and ordered the herald to immediately report the situation to Chen Dengyu of Yamatai.

Before dawn, Zhou Tai came to the bank of the river with a few personal soldiers, only to see that the other bank had already fallen silent, Zhou Tai's heart couldn't help but sink, he felt that the three thousand soldiers on the opposite side were only afraid of more evil and less auspicious.

At this time, a herald rushed to Zhou Tai and reported: "General, Governor Chen has ordered you to lead the army to retreat to Yamatai!" ”

Zhou Tai couldn't help but be stunned, pointed to the Pipa River and said angrily: "If I leave, won't the enemy easily cross the Pipa River!" ”

The herald presented the red order arrow in his hand with both hands, "General, this is Governor Chen's urgent order!" ”

Zhou Tai frowned, looked at the arrow that had been snatched away very angrily, and yelled at the herald: "Tell Governor Chen that Ben will retreat immediately!" ”

Before noon, Zhou Tai led an army of 30,000 to retreat to Yamatai, leaving the army outside the city, while he himself angrily broke into the hall, and when he saw Chen Deng, who was discussing with Gan Ning, he asked: "Governor Chen, why did you order Ben to abandon the Pipa River?" The pontoon bridge is about to be rebuilt! ”

Chen Deng understood Zhou Tai's mood very well, and said helplessly: "I have no choice but to do this!" ”

"I have to do it?! What about the 3,000 soldiers north of the Pipa River? ”

Chen Deng sighed, and said in a deep voice with a sad expression: "I'm afraid that the three thousand soldiers have all been killed!" General Zhou. You should be aware of this! ”

Zhou Tai was speechless and glared at Chen Deng for a moment. With a discouraged face, he took off his helmet and paused heavily on the desk, and asked, "Governor Chen." Why do you want me to give up! ”

Chen Deng handed a piece of information to Zhou Tai and explained, "I received information in the middle of the night last night, and there are many rebel forces brewing in the entire Yamatai Kingdom!" ”

Zhou Tai couldn't help but be taken aback, took the information from Chen Deng's hand, and quickly read it, his face changed.

Chen Deng said: "At present, this Yamatai is really full of holes, and our army's military strength in Yamatai is only more than 30,000. If you stay behind, you are afraid that the situation will be worrying! ”

"How so?" Zhou Tai asked in disbelief.

Chen Deng sighed and explained: "Although our army controls the important area of Yamatai, in order not to cause misunderstanding on the Yamatai side, it has not set foot in the countryside, and has not interfered in the recruitment of civilian troops in the countryside!" Those who have a heart will use this secret to develop their own power! We were negligent in the monitoring of the Yamatai place before, so that we found out that something was wrong when the incident came to an end! ”

"Governor, what should we do then?"

Chen Deng was silent for a moment and said, "Although the body is affected by the parents, it is like festering. In order to protect the overall situation, we must abandon the part! ”

"The Governor is going to give up Yamatai? However, His Majesty did not give the order! ”

Chen Deng said categorically: "The general will not be affected by the life of the monarch outside!" The situation is urgent, and we must make a decision now! ”

Gan Ning hugged his fists with a rare serious expression and said, "You just give the order!" Grandpa Gan listens to you! ”

Zhou Tai hesitated for a moment, but also said that he had no objection.

Chen Deng immediately gave the order for the whole army to scatter the island of Honshu.

More than 30,000 Wei troops marched out of Yamatai City. Head straight for Kobe Port. This Kobe port is located more than 100 miles southwest of Yamatai City, and it was originally just a fishing port, but two years ago, the Wei army made it easier to allocate supplies and troops. The size of the port of Kobe has been expanded several times, and there are currently 2,000 elite Wei troops stationed in the port of Kobe. The Wei army was accompanied by those civil and military generals loyal to Queen Himiko and thousands of Yamatai troops.

Chen Deng took these people with him, of course, there was a purpose for uploading.

It only took one day. Tens of thousands of people arrived at the port of Kobe, at this time. Although the port of Kobe was still firmly in the hands of the Wei army, a tense atmosphere could already be clearly felt, just half a day ago, the 5,000 Yamatai troops that appeared out of nowhere suddenly attacked the port of Kobe, but they were quickly repelled by the elite of the 2,000 Wei troops stationed in the port of Kobe.

Tens of thousands of people began to board the ship in an orderly manner, and thousands of Kobe locals crowded on the outskirts of the port, clamoring with their families to board the ship.

However, they were all isolated by the soldiers in charge of the guard, and they could not get close to the port at all.

"Governor, Your Majesty's Flying Pigeon Biography!" The herald rushed to Chen Deng and the others standing on the shore to report.

Chen Deng hurriedly took the book, read it quickly, and then showed a sigh of relief.

Chen Deng said to Gan Ning on the side: "Your Majesty's order is also for us to wait for us to retreat to Kyushu and Shikoku to stabilize our position, and then plan to forge ahead!" ”

Gan Ning grinned and said, "I told you not to worry about it a long time ago!" But you have the audacity to do it all night! Alright, it's time for us to board the ship! ”

Chen Deng and Gan Ning boarded the flagship. Chen Deng turned his head to look at the port, and tens of thousands of people had basically boarded the ship, but the thousands of people shouted more excitedly.

Chen Deng frowned, and asked Zhou Taidao, who had been in charge of boarding the ship, "General Zhou, can our ship transport these thousands of Yamatai people together?" ”

Zhou Tai turned his head and glanced at the port, nodded and said, "No problem!" But why do you do it? There is no enemy among these Yamatai people! ”

"You're right? But one or two spies won't do us much harm, and it's good for us to do that! ”

Zhou Tai didn't understand very much, but he didn't bother to think about these questions, and he hugged his fist at Chen Deng and promised.

As soon as these Yamatai people heard the news that the Wei army had allowed them to board the ship, thousands of Yamatai people couldn't help but burst into cheers, and then thousands of Yamatai people rushed towards the dock, all of them looking extremely impatient.

Fortunately, there were Wei soldiers to maintain order during the boarding process, otherwise I was afraid that many people would fall into the sea in the crowd.

The huge fleet of tens of thousands of troops and nearly 10,000 Yamatai soldiers and civilians left the port of Kobe, leaving behind a desolate scene.

An hour after the fleet left, the Yamatai army, which had been repulsed a day earlier, entered the port of Kobe.

A day later, the Wei fleet landed at the port of Nine Turtles on the island of Shikoku.

Kochi Castle is located in the middle of Shikoku Island, originally a small city of small scale, but now Kochi Castle is surrounded by a fortified wall two zhang high, which is an important bridgehead fortress for the Wei army in the Yamatai Kingdom. (To be continued.) )
