Chapter 37 The cannon was robbed
In the rear of Lin's army, Lu Shengzhong was leading the troops to attack, giving Sima Yiqing's troops a chance to break out of the encirclement. The two troops worked hard to get closer and finally opened up the encirclement of Lin's army and gathered together...
The front and rear troops of the Lin army also came together. Everything could happen on the battlefield. Even though Sima Yiqing had a rich battlefield, he was hit by the front and back this time, and he suffered a lot of losses.
In front of Sima Yiqing's troops were the 90,000 Lin troops pursued by Sima Yiqing, and behind were the 70,000 Lin troops retreating from the Lan River. Sima Yiqing did not expect that King Lin would summon all the troops back, so naturally he did not pay attention to this army, which led to the encirclement of the camp in front.
This time Sima Yiqing followed Lin's army to Qidu. When Lin Wang saw Sima Yiqing's alone army went deeper, he naturally started to think about this move and arranged this move. Lin Wang closely contacted the troops withdrawn from Lanjiang. When Sima Yiqing's troops arrived, they attacked each other in front and back. As soon as Sima Yiqing's troops arrived, they attacked each other. As it turned out, this move was indeed good, which made Sima Yiqing suffer a defeat.
However, what King Lin did not expect was that Sima Yiqing's troops were so difficult. Although they had assembled 160,000 people to encircle, they still could not wipe out the 60,000 Si troops. Moreover, behind the troops withdrawn by Lanjiang, Lu Shengzhong was leading the troops to chase them. When Lu Shengzhong's troops arrived, the Lin army behind was attacked by Sima Yiqing and Lu Shengzhong's troops, and lost a lot.
Lu Shengzhong held the samurai sword tightly and slashed hard, steaming all over his body. It took a long time since he fought so happily. Lu Shengzhong led his soldiers to continuously attack the Lin army, causing the Lin army to retreat step by step.
The soldiers of the Si Jun are better equipped than Lin Jun, and their physique is better than Lin Jun, and their ideological qualities are the same. They are higher in every aspect, but they are not reflected on the battlefield, and the advantages they have become very obvious when compared.
Lu Shengzhong finally arrived at Sima Yiqing's place and asked, "What's the situation?"
Seeing that this situation was caused by his mistake, Sima Yiqing felt guilty and replied: "Many soldiers died, and our five hundred magic cannons were also lost."
After hearing this, Lu Shengzhong was shocked. It was inevitable that the soldiers would lose some. If this divine power cannon is lost, it would be a big problem. In the future, Lin Jun asked these cannons to attack him. That joke was too big. Lu Shengzhong said: "You must not lose the cannons, let's take them back!"
Sima Yiqing thought about it and asked, "How many troops did General Lu lead this time?"
"Only forty thousand, and the next 20,000 are coming with food and cannons. It is expected that they will arrive the day after tomorrow." Lu Shengzhong replied.
"In this way, our total number of troops is more than 100,000. If this battle can be fought, then we will launch a counterattack and regain the Divine Power Cannon!" Sima Yiqing naturally knew the severity of the loss of the cannon. Even if it was a very expensive one, it must be snatched back.
It was already midnight, and the moon quietly hid behind the clouds, making the earth dark. It was the so-called dark and windy night that Si Jun lit a torch and quickly gathered together without the familiar terrain.
Lu Shengzhong only said one thing to everyone: "No matter how much the price, we must snatch the Divine Power Cannon back!"
Sima Yiqing said, "We threw away the God-Magic Cannon, so let us be the forwards!"
Seeing Sima Yiqing's undeniable attitude, Lu Shengzhong had to nod and agree, and the troops immediately headed to the camp where Sima Yiqing was stationed.
Before he arrived at the camp, he saw the fire above the camp. Sima Yiqing was delighted when he saw this. If Lin Jun just set fire to the camp, it would be better than losing the divine power cannon. However, there was no explosion in the fire. Obviously, the shells had not exploded. It was unlikely that they would not explode under such a fire. Sima Yiqing couldn't help but worry again.
Everyone came to the camp and saw that the camp was burned by fire. The fire blocked Si Jun's pace of progress. Sima Yiqing observed for a while and said helplessly: "It seems that Lin Jun has been guarding against us for a long time, and brought a large amount of firewood to ignite it and blocked us."
Lu Shengzhong also found that the fire alone was impossible to be so big, and asked, "What should we do now?"
Sima Yiqing sighed and said, "It seems that the Shenwei cannon has been stolen by Lin Jun, and things are in trouble."
Lu Shengzhong obviously felt the seriousness of the problem and couldn't help but say: "The God-Magic Cannon was built by Brother Qian, and he couldn't give it to Lin Jun. Otherwise, if we use the cannons we made ourselves in the future, we won't make a big joke!"
Sima Yiqing nodded and said, "Okay, bypass the fire and pursue Lin Jun!"
The military troops began to find a way, bypassed the mountains, bypassed the lake and headed towards Lin Guoqi Capital. When the previous troops arrived outside Qi Capital, the sky was already dawn.
Qidu City was shrouded in mist, and occasionally there were dog barking and chicken crows in the city. The follow-up troops of Sijun followed one after another. Sima Yiqing saw that the city gate had been closed and the suspension bridge was pulled up. It seemed that Lin Jun, who had come out to attack at night, had returned to the city.
The sun was slowly rising, and Lin Jun was standing on the walls of Qidu. Sima Yiqing shook his head and said, "It's too late, the cannon was still stolen by Lin Jun."
Seeing that the soldiers had fought for a night and then pursued the Lin army for a long journey, Lu Shengzhong said, "We have tried our best!"
Seeing that the divine cannons were stolen by Lin Jun, Sima Yiqing said in shame: "This time, I have lost all my face!"
Lu Shengzhong comforted: "Chief of Staff Sima, the battlefield situation is unpredictable, and it is no big deal to lose for a while. As long as we can finally defeat Lin Guo."
Seeing that the troops did not carry siege weapons, Sima Yiqing had to say, "Okay, we can't stay here, let's retreat first."
The Si army gradually retreated, and King Lin couldn't help laughing when he stood on the city wall. He originally wanted to wipe out Sima Yiqing's 60,000 troops, but they broke through, but it was really a surprise that he could steal the 500 powerful cannons of Si army. He immediately ordered the arrested Si army soldiers to be tortured and obtained the secret of cannon firing.
Five hundred cannons and tens of thousands of shells, the Lin army gained a lot. After retreating thirty miles, the Si army counted the number of people. In this battle, Sima Yiqing's troops lost more than 10,000, and Lu Shengzhong's troops lost about 5,000, and a total of about 30,000 enemy troops were wiped out. The battle loss ratio was one to two. Although they had gained an advantage, Sima Yiqing and Lu Shengzhong were not happy.
First, in the past, the army won huge victories with extremely small losses in wars. Although the proportion of losses in this war was one to two, the losses were still too large.
Second, the Sijun camp was burned and the Shenwei cannon was robbed, which was a very serious loss.
The follow-up troops of Lu Shengzhong's troops finally arrived. After the five hundred Shenwei cannons were transported, they set off and defended the Lin army from all sides to attack again. Sima Yiqing immediately had an idea when he saw the Shenwei cannon and found Lu Shengzhong and asked: "Teacher Lu, can you lend me your five hundred cannons? I will use them to attack Qi Capital?"
Lu Shengzhong naturally knew that Sima Yiqing wanted to win a game and regained his face, and reminded him: "Now Lin Jun has 500 cannons, and he can be mounted on the city wall to fight. We have no advantage in fighting like this."
"Soldiers are very fast. Now Lin Jun may not have figured out the divine cannons, so they may not be able to fire the cannons. If they wait for a long time, it will be really hard to hit after Lin Jun learns it." Sima Yiqing analyzed.
"What Staff Sima said is that you will be given to you by five hundred cannons," Lu Shengzhong thought for a while and said, "Then I will put the formation on you, and I hope you can bombard the capital of Lanshan!"
