Facing the charge of a larger number of Jin army soldiers, they could only defeat in the city of refuge. If the defenders of Yancheng can hold on for more time on the battlefield, then the Jin army may have failed in this war.
However, in the absence of general command in the army, it is not easy to delay the Jin army's offensive.
"Inform Gumo and Wensu that our army encountered the situation of the Jin army on the battlefield. Quickly tell King Wusun about the matter." After a long silence, Qiuci said kingly.
This battle was a failure for Qiuci, and through this battle, King Qiuci saw the strength of the Jin army, even if the forces of Qiuci, Gumo, and Wensu secretly united in a confrontation Can the Jin army be victorious? The strength of the Jin army on the battlefield is really amazing. When fighting with this kind of army, there will inevitably be more losses. This is for the lieutenant soldiers. In other words, it was the biggest blow.
However, King Qiuci cannot just give up. Once the city is broken by the Jin army, it means that the power in his hand will be wiped out. Although there are many risks in cooperating with Wusun, as long as it can withstand the Jin army’s attack, The rest will be discussed later.
After this battle, even if the Qiuci side took refuge in the Jin army, it would definitely be embarrassed. You must know that the offensive of the Qiuci army also caused a lot of casualties to the Jin army.
Judging from the armor of the Jin sergeants captured by the soldiers, the Jin sergeants still surpass the Qiuci army in terms of equipment.
Unlike Qiuci, Wensu, and Gumo, Wusun has a hundred thousand men with armour. Such a large number of troops are enough to withstand the attack of the Jin army, making the Jin army afraid of coveting Qiuci.
The purpose of King Qiuci is very simple. It is to save Qiuci in this war and stabilize his position. If there is no city, it is equivalent to losing everything. This failure is not true. King Qiuci wants to see.
But when he was fighting against the Jin army, what he felt was the horror of the Jin army. To fight against this kind of army, you must have strong reinforcements, otherwise it would be a fantasy to win.
In accepting such an offensive from the Guiz side, the Jin army still left the battlefield and made the Guiz side cavalry pay a heavy price. What will happen when more Jin troops arrive.
In Yancheng, the military's mind was shaken, and Zhang Liao and Zhang Yan led a large army to be stationed in a remote place. When they were fighting against the army of Kucha, there was an unexpected scene, that is, the cavalry led by King Kucha.
If it is not a cavalry, with the combat power of the Jin army's infantry, it can completely sweep the enemy.
"General Zhang, after this battle, our army lost nearly 1,500 infantry and nearly 300 cavalry." Zhang Yan said.
Zhang Liao nodded solemnly. Although he was victorious, the lieutenant soldiers paid a heavy price for this battle. The soldiers who played in the battle lost nearly half. Under these circumstances, even Zhang Liao had the heart to lead the army. Proceeding to Yancheng, I am afraid that it has brought a failure.
According to the information detected by the scouts, Zhang Liao judged that the defenders in Yancheng had already exceeded 5,000 at this time. I am afraid that after the Jin army stepped forward, the defenders would go out of the city to meet.
The advantage in number, coupled with the large number of cavalry in the defending army, is enough to threaten the Jin army.
"Inform Lu Shangshu about the situation of the war in detail." Zhang Liao said.
"General, why are there suddenly so many cavalry in the enemy army? If it weren't because of the cavalry in the enemy army, it would be easy for our army to defeat the enemy army." Zhang Yan questioned.
"It seems that Qiuci, Gumo and Wensu have secretly united. If the forces of the three parties are combined, there will be so many cavalry." Zhang Liao said.
Zhang Yan nodded and agreed with Zhang Liao’s statement. Otherwise, it would be unbelievable to have such a large number of cavalry in Kucha. Although Kucha is not a small country among the Western Regions. Country, but having so many cavalry is by no means normal.
It is conceivable how influential the cavalry has on the battlefield. Just like this battle, if the enemy does not have a sufficient number of cavalry, how can it bring casualties to the Jin army?
"General, our army is not strong enough at this time, just retreat, or lead the troops back?" Zhang Yan asked.
In this confrontation, although the Jin army was victorious, it also paid a lot of price. If the leader returns, Zhang Yan will also have a lot of unwillingness in his heart. Following the army to fight in Qiuci, Zhang Yan naturally I hope to get more credit.
But in the case of a sharp decline in the number of lieutenants, if there are no suitable countermeasures, it is impossible to have greater deeds on the battlefield.
Zhang Liao shook his head and said: "We can't retreat, and try our best to inquire about the enemy's situation. It is of great benefit to our army The battles in Kumo, Gumo and Wensu are not easy for this general. ."
"Follow the general's order." Zhang Yan said excitedly.
As long as the army stays near Yancheng, it is possible to make contributions. Besides, there are still a lot of cavalry in the army. If properly used, they can definitely do more on the battlefield. Besides, at the speed of cavalry, even if it is The enemy can also escape from the battlefield if it is difficult for the enemy to send chasers.
The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and leading a cavalry team is invincible.
"At present, our army does not have an advantage in number. There are a large number of cavalry in the enemy army. It is necessary to be more cautious." Zhang Liao exhorted.
"The general's words are very true."
"You are in charge of the scout, so you must find out more about Qiuci." Zhang Liao said.
"I will understand." Zhang Yan said excitedly, leading the cavalry to have the possibility of making contributions, which is of great significance to Zhang Yan.
Zhang Yan's performance in the battle against the Kucha army this time is also remarkable, but Zhang Yan will not be satisfied with this, he will have to do more in the face of the enemy.
After the Jin army confronted the Qiuci army, they did not leave. This was also out of King Qiuci's expectation. Although the gate of Yancheng was opened, the soldiers guarding the gate were extremely vigilant.
If the city gate is not opened for a long time, there will be more troubles. The people and businessmen who live in the city also need to leave the city. If the civil revolt is aroused, things will be even worse.
The situation of the Jin army's battle with the Qiuci army in Yancheng quickly spread to the army rushing to Qiuci.
