However, now is not the time to talk about this, now Sun Chuanting's army has suffered too serious casualties, and the morale has been extremely low, and he urgently needs to rest, but Li Zicheng in front of him is still staring at it tightly, but he is afraid that it will not be long before he will attack again.

"Master Overseer, if Li Zicheng's dog thief attacks again, will your soldiers still be able to fight?"

Shu Xinchen asked.

Sun Zhixiu, who was on the side, said coldly: "We don't share the sky with the thieves, even if the last person is left, we have to fight to the end!" ”

"Alright, stop bragging!"

Sun Chuanting said in a deep voice, "Zhixiu, it's good to be determined, but your determination does not represent the determination of the soldiers, people's will is limited, once the huge pressure crushes their will, then what awaits them is only collapse, no army can avoid such an outcome, even if it is a strong army!" This time, if it weren't for General Yang and General Shu rushing over in time, we would really collapse, even if it was half an hour late, we would have been wiped out! General Shu, now that the Qin army has suffered heavy casualties, there are still a large number of soldiers who have not recovered from their injuries and illnesses, and their combat strength has dropped seriously, I am afraid that the soldiers who can continue to fight will not be able to make up 10,000......"

Shu Xinchen's face darkened, and he wiped it, this battle was really miserable enough for the army to fight......

"Lord Inspector, for today's plan, we can only retreat to the east, after our brothers come to break off, the army will retreat towards Shandong, it will not take three or four days, Lord Zhu will arrive, and then with its 20,000 fresh troops to join, we can definitely turn the tide of the war and defeat Li Zicheng in one fell swoop!"

Yang Chengzu said in a deep voice.

Sun Chuanting shook his head and replied: "General Yang, it's impossible, it's absolutely impossible, now Li Zicheng has 100,000 troops, even if there are some casualties, the strength will still be around 70,000 or 80,000, if we retreat at this time, they can take advantage of the victory to pursue, just need to send a cavalry to contain your cavalry, and the rest of the army can catch up from behind, when the time comes, it will be a complete pursuit battle, and we will definitely lose!" ”

Yang Chengzu's heart sank, Sun Chuanting was right, if he was really followed and pursued by the thieves from behind, the main force of the current Ming army would definitely not be able to support it!

"Looks like we're going to have to stay here for help?"

Shu Xinchen asked.

Sun Chuanting shook his head again and said: "It's not a good idea to stick to the help, there is no danger here, how can we stick to the help?" ”

Everyone was silent, retreating can't work, holding on can't do it, so what? Do you want to attack, take the initiative to attack? Isn't that a moth to a fire? Even if Shu Xinchen and Yang Chengzu were confident, they were not arrogant enough to think that 10,000 elite horsemen could take down all the thieves of 70,000 or 80,000 people!

"Since we can't accept it here, then we will retreat into Lanyang County, which is only twenty miles away from Lanyang County, and it will take less than two hours to enter Lanyang City, with Lanyang City as a basis, we may be able to deal with the thieves for a few more days, as long as Lord Zhu Jie arrives, we can sit back and relax......"

Shu Xinchen said again.

Enter Lanyang City?

Sun Chuanting's heart moved, and his eyes immediately dimmed, and he replied: "General Shu, now almost all the prefectures and counties near Kaifeng have been infected by the plague, and my army has already been infected, it doesn't matter, if even your army is infected, wouldn't it be even more like death without a place to be buried?" ”

Ha ha......

Shu Xinchen laughed and said, "Master Inspector, you also underestimate us too much!" Before we set off, Lord Zhu had already explained that 10,000 cavalry had brought a large number of medicinal herbs, medicinal soap and protective gear, just to prevent the soldiers from being infected by the plague again, we just entered Lanyang City, there would be absolutely no problem, as long as we held on for three or four days, Lord Zhu would arrive! ”

"You brought a lot of herbs with you?"

Sun Chuanting's heart was shocked and asked, "How long is it enough for you?" ”

Shu Xinchen said with a smile: "Don't worry, Master Inspector, each of us carries at least three or five people, not to mention my 10,000 cavalry, even if it is in the Qin army, everyone can get a set!" We only need to concentrate on resisting Li Zicheng's attack now, and as for the plague, you don't have to worry about it! ”

Sun Chuanting was overjoyed and shouted, "Okay, since that's the case, then let's enter Lanyang City immediately!" ”

Before Li Zicheng could react, all the Ming troops suddenly retreated in the northeast direction, twenty miles away, and they could rush to Lan in more than an hour, which did not give Li Zicheng any time to pursue.

By the time Li Zicheng had reorganized his troops, the Ming army had already retreated into Lanyang City!

Li Zicheng was so angry that he jumped like thunder, and roared angrily: "Come on, give an order, assemble the whole army, besiege Lanyang, and take Lanyang City for me in the shortest time!" ”

Yuan Zongdi, Li Yan and others poured out, and 70,000 troops immediately surrounded Lanyang City and launched a fierce offensive towards Lanyang.

However, with Lanyang City as a support, the Chuang army wanted to eat the Ming army again, but it was not so easy, the Ming army climbed to the top of the city, constantly blocking the wave after wave of attacks of the Chuang army, and even used a few artillery pieces in an attempt to destroy the walls of Lanyang City.

Where, though, is it that easy? Li Zicheng has artillery, and the Ming army also has it, and the artillery power is even greater than that of the breaking army, and the two sides have launched a fierce battle again!

This time, Yang Chengzu and Shu Xinchen personally sat at the head of the city, commanding the battle, above the city, bows and arrows, rolling wood, stones, fire oil, boiling water, all the weapons and moves that can be used to block the attack of the invading army were used, and some people even picked up the houses in the city, dismantled a large number of bricks, and constantly greeted the invading army.

After all, the number of rolling wood and stones is limited, but there are a lot of bricks, Yang Chengzu and Shu Xinchen each have a pile of green bricks around them, two people hold a piece in each hand, see which army is about to climb the city, they smash it down, the army roared, fell down the city, and was smashed to pieces, but unfortunately, the head of this Lanyang City is too short, otherwise, just the fall can take the lives of these soldiers.

The bricks and feather arrows fly together, and the blood light is the same color as the long sky!

The Chuang army was fiercely suppressed by the Ming army under Nanyang City, and after a lot of hard work, they couldn't take Lanyang City, and in just one day, under Lanyang City, there were already mountains of corpses!

Fierce, tragic offensive and defensive battles!
