Chapter 140 Chai Wu died in battle
The generals of the counties and counties who were attacking the North Gate were shocked when they saw the thick smoke rising from the direction of the camp. They asked each other and got an answer that no one wanted to accept, that is, the camp was burned. Everyone’s first reaction was, Withdraw the army and go back to see if the food and grass brought by the family are still there.If there is no food and grass, the tens of thousands of troops can only retreat.As for the saying that there will be food and grass in the capture of Juye, it is simply a joke. All the families on their side teamed up and attacked without fear of life and death. They have not been able to move forward until now. Only the army that penetrated the south gate was the main force of the Qin army, and Li Ji personally supervised the formation.Now that even Li Ji has been defeated, there is no need for them to continue fighting.

So the various families got together to discuss and reached a unanimous decision to withdraw the troops. In this way, the battle at the North Gate ended with the Qin army's hasty retreat.Yingbu and others had also received Kuaijiang's order long ago, and immediately came to support the East Gate after the enemy retreated.

Ying Bu and others led the troops to the east gate, and joked: "The military division is really good at predicting things! Even the Qin army's retreat was expected."

Peng Yue, Shi Jin and others also nodded in agreement. This is indeed a miracle. The Qin army has not shown signs of decline. If it continues to be consumed like this, victory will be a matter of time.Such a retreat is a bit confusing.Presumably the military adviser will have an answer after the war!

Li Ji, who was immersed in the joy of being about to win Juye, suddenly noticed thick smoke rising from the direction of the barracks, and suddenly lost his color. Could it be that the army formation at the south gate has been breached?He left a full 1000 people there. Although these manpower could not attack, they were more than enough to defend against the small number of enemy troops.Moreover, the chief general there was still his deputy general who had followed him for many years. He was not experienced enough, but he was much better than the chief generals of the counties and counties.With him in the lineup, it stands to reason that there would be no problems.But the fact is that the thick smoke rising now proves that the thousand-strong Qin army has been broken through and the camp has been destroyed.I'm afraid it will be too late to go back to rescue.

So Li Ji ordered the whole army to increase the intensity of the attack, and ordered the whole army to invest in the attack, and take Juye as soon as possible.

At this time, Juye has already received a full [-] new troops, which is enough to stop the Qin army's fierce offensive for a while.Therefore, after Li Ji invested all his troops, the effect was still very small.Li Ji was secretly anxious, this time he was not so confident.He is a sensible person, without thinking about it, if the chief generals of the counties and counties in the coalition army know that the camp has been destroyed, their first reaction will definitely be to withdraw their troops.It also means that the siege of the enemy's Ximen has been lifted, and now he will face the full force of the enemy. It is tantamount to wishful thinking to take Juye again without the support of follow-up troops.

Therefore, Li Ji wanted to take advantage of the fact that the opponent's reinforcements had not arrived, and quickly take down the east gate. As long as he took down the east gate, everything would be easy, and his army was not afraid of fighting the opponent.Of course, this is what Li Ji thought in his heart. As for the truth, no one knows if he hasn't fought.

Chai Wu kept in mind the oath he made in front of Kuai Jiang, never let the East Gate fail, never let the lord and the military adviser down.Leading his subordinates to fight on the front line, because of the long-term battle, he is now a little exhausted, and only relying on a will to keep himself from going down.

Chai Wu was stabbed several times, and he was still directing his subordinates to fight fiercely with the Qin army.Finally, in his eager anticipation, he waited for reinforcements from Yingbu and others.Seeing the arrival of Yingbo and others, he breathed a sigh of relief. It was the release of this breath that distracted him, and he was knocked to the ground by the oncoming Qin army.Several Qin soldiers saw the local general fell to the ground and was about to make up his sword. Yingbu yelled and fell from the sky. He spun his long ax and killed all the future Qin soldiers.Peng Yue and Shi Jin hurried forward to help Chai Wu up. At this time, Chai Wu had already breathed in but not out.Seeing the generals, Chai Wu smiled and said: "The east gate will be handed over to the generals. Tell the military commander that I, Chai Wu, have not broken my promise... tell the lord, thank him for his kindness, but it is a pity that I, Chai Wu, can no longer be loyal to him." gone."

After saying that, Chai Wu smiled and closed his eyes, and collapsed on Peng Yue's hands without a sound.Yingbu, Pengyue, and Shijin wiped away their tears. Although the generals were sad, they knew that this was not the time to be sad, so they calmed down and shouted: "Brother Chai, don't worry! We will definitely send Li Ji your head to comfort your dead."

After finishing speaking, several people went crazy and rushed towards Qin Jun.Along the way, the Qin army had no single enemy, and basically they would die if they touched them.The moves of the three of them were all offensive, and they all rushed to the vital point, and they had no intention of defending at all.

Under the leadership of the three generals, Juye's soldiers defeated the Qin army and retreated steadily.It didn't take long for the Qin army to be knocked down from the city tower, and the ladders in many places were destroyed.

Li Ji, who was not far from the east gate, saw that his situation was not optimistic. He also knew that the reinforcements had arrived and there was no need to continue the fight, so he called back his troops and prepared to retreat back to the camp.

Unfortunately, because of Chai Wu's death, the three generals were stimulated. They were the highest generals here, and they unanimously agreed to go out of the city and fight Li Ji to the death to avenge Chai Wu.With Chai Wu's hatred, several people opened the city gate and killed them.

Li Ji, who was about to retreat, was also confused by the actions of several people, thinking to himself, his retreat should not be messed up, I think it is still orderly!Why did the opponent come out of the city? Could it be possible to take down my thousands of troops with a wave of remnants in the city?

However, Li Ji was not afraid of fighting the enemy in the field. He adjusted his formation to meet Yingbo and others.

Yingbu, Pengyue, and Shijin divided one road into three roads and attacked Li Ji from three directions.Li Ji calmly commanded his soldiers to attack. Li Ji had never fought against the three of them, so he didn't know how good their martial arts were, but his soldiers had fought against them before!They have already seen how powerful these three murderous demon kings are, and seeing that they led a team to kill, many people ran away in fear.

Li Ji was furious, and ordered the supervising army to execute these deserters on the spot, which restored some morale.But Yingbo and others don't want so much, their only goal is Li Ji.The three of them quickly approached Li Ji from three directions with their hands, and it was only at this time that Li Ji realized that the goal of the three of them was himself.Seeing that the soldiers on his side could not stop the opponent's footsteps at all, he was shocked, and without hesitation, he ordered his men to stop the opponent's attack, and retreated to the rear with his guards.

Yingbo and others saw that Li Ji started to flee, and accelerated their offensive. The Qin army who intercepted them also learned that their general had fled, and immediately lost their fighting spirit. In the end, the Qin army soldiers fled in large numbers.Yingbo and others successfully penetrated the Qin army and chased in the direction where Li Ji fled.

Li Ji took his guards and sped up the horse and fled the battlefield. He got rid of the pursuit of Yingbo and others, and the idea of ​​revenge for Yingbo and others was wiped out.

Li Ji returned to the messy barracks. There were not many people around him at this time. This was not the worst thing for him. The worst thing was that he would face the condemnation of the chiefs of the counties and counties.There may be a possibility of losing his life, but Li Ji's pride does not allow him to shrink back in front of those who are not as good as him.

Li Ji generously came before the chiefs and generals of the counties and counties, and everyone questioned: "How did the enemy break through your defense line of Li Ji's 1-strong army?"

Someone even heard the rumors of the surviving soldiers and cursed: "Could it be that your army of ten thousand people can't stop the opponent's dozens of people from charging, and was defeated by the opponent's blow?"

Only then did Li Ji realize that the garrison of a thousand soldiers he had left behind had been defeated by the opponent's dozens of cavalry.Pretending that nothing happened, he walked to the main seat of the temporary outdoor military tent and sat down.

Everyone was furious, you dare to be so arrogant when you are like this, are you really not afraid of death?
Someone laughed and said, "General Li, where are your 1-odd troops? Why are there only these left? Could it be that you drank too much last night and were frightened by the enemy when you went to the battlefield?"

Li Ji clenched his fists tightly, tried to keep himself calm, and said lightly: "How about our army, don't bother you, but you retreated without saying a word, which caused me to suffer such a big loss. "

"Hmph!" The chief general of the county snorted coldly, "If it wasn't for you, General Li, who didn't guard the camp properly and burned our supplies, would we have withdrawn our troops when we had the advantage?"

Li Ji held back the anger in his heart. He knew that now is not the time to get angry, and the crisis of food shortage can only be alleviated by taking down Juye, so he proposed: "Everyone, we are already like this, and the only way to alleviate it is to take down Juye. our predicament."

The counties and counties had discussed it long ago, and most of them received the order from the county guard to return to the city for rescue, so they took advantage of the burning of the barracks and unanimously decided to return to the city.

"How dare you ignore Master Zhao's order." Li Ji stood up abruptly and shouted.

"We don't dare. There is a good saying that one general is incompetent and will implicate the whole army. We will jointly sue Mr. Zhao, and Mr. Zhao will handle it fairly." After speaking, everyone left the camp, leaving only Li Ji alone. Sulk there.
