Chapter 3894: Plan change

In fact, Le Jin’s judgment was correct. After Salman took the lead in the charge, some minor problems appeared on Oswen’s side. There was a lack of crews on their side, and the remaining soldiers were more or less afraid of taking the boat. .

So after Salman took the lead in the charge, the remaining soldiers were unable to get into the water. To be honest, Oswen was stunned at this moment, and he found that he was really not suitable for making strategies. In the end, Oswen had to take the boat himself. It went down the river.

It is precisely because of the time wasted in selecting soldiers who can fight in the water that the original wave of storms has been intermittent. When Oswen rushed to the city wall, the water level had dropped by half a foot.

At this time, Cao Ren was able to add defense to Lejin, because Lejin’s attack was a semi-ideal effect after the will distorted reality. Simply put, it was the Lejin Army’s attack. The force was more powerful, and you could ignore the city wall directly from the inside. Cut it out.

However, all of Guishuang’s attacks will be blocked by the city wall. The result is that the more Le Jin hits, the more confident he is. The talent of Le Jin is that his own will affect the minds of his soldiers. The more confident Le Jin is, the more his subordinates will perform. Well, the two sides are positively correlated.

In this way, in Salman's feelings, Le Jin is getting stronger and stronger. In the end, all of their men who rushed to the head of the city were suppressed by Le Jin's current formation.

"Salman, here we are!" Osven greeted loudly, standing on the bow of the ship. He was relieved a lot when he saw that Salman was still fighting. Even though he was quite panicked in this situation, it didn't matter. As long as he rushed to the top of the city, Oswen firmly believed that he would win.

"Resistance, our reinforcements are coming, and the opponent can't defend it anymore!" The one who was hammered by Cao Ren and Le Jin was already a little bit unable to withstand it. If it weren't for a small number of backbone guards of the same attribute in the head guard, Salman, who was supposed to be driven off the city wall, was overjoyed when he saw Oswen.

Cao Ren and Le Jin looked at each other. They actually realized the problem at this time. Guishuang is not good at water attack. To be precise, they should not be good at playing in water at all. The result is Cao Ren and Le Jin. After the water attack that was the most worrying at the time, Guishuang's large-scale boat boarding on the city wall did not appear.

You must know that Cao Ren and Le Jin had done a good job before the Beigui soldiers boarded the city wall on a large scale, and a fierce battle suffered heavy losses. After Oswen appeared, the reserve team Li Dian appeared to defend a wave, with five labors and seven injuries. Guishuang suppressed the idea.

In the end, I didn't expect that it would eventually become such a situation. Not only did the flood fail to help Beigui, it even gave Cao Ren and Lejin more than ten days of rest.

Oswen roared and rushed to the city wall, majestic, but it was useless. He could not lead the sun knights to attack the city, not to mention that the sun knights were basically born in the north, even if they were born in the south, they can swim, as a legitimate cavalry. , The combat effectiveness of dismounting is also halved.

Under this circumstance, how Oswen would choose to use the Sun Rider for consumption? Anyway, this is also the most important elite of Guishuang at present.

However, it didn’t make any sense. Oswen rushed to the city wall. Le Jin and Cao Ren surrounded Oswen and Salman with a grin. They might not be able to defeat these two things in battle in other places, but at the city wall, Cao Ren’s army The talent of the Legion that matches Le Jin's talent is simply disgusting, can't beat it? Just drag you to death!

Oswen and Salman roared again and again. The fortress of the Han army, which they thought it was good to win, turned out to be a big pit, and this big pit could only be felt after they actually got on the top of the city, and there was no way to line up. , Was flanked by front and back encirclement and suppression.

Even if the elites of Beigui were so pitted, they really couldn't stand it.

From the dawn of the morning sun to the three poles of the sun, the Han army and Guishuang were obviously exhausted, but relatively speaking, Oswen and Salman gained the upper hand with more powerful combat power, but it was Oswen and Salman who thought they would succeed. When it came down to take down the fortress in one go, a large number of soldiers led by Li Dian ascended to the top of the city.

This is the effect Cao Ren needs. When everyone is exhausted, there is still a new force on my side that can be thrown into the battlefield.

The morale of the Guishuang Legion declined rapidly, even if Oswen knew that he had a new force, and the number was larger than that of Li Dian, but when he could arrive by boat, it was still a question.

"Retreat." Salman looked at Oswen quite calmly and said, he can't fight anymore. They have suffered thousands of casualties, and the other party's loss will not be less than his own, but if you continue to fight, the damage will only continue to accumulate. , Whether the fortress can be taken down is still a question.

Osven’s complexion was pale, he could not get past here, so he could only take a detour, but that mountain trail, at its current speed, would take seven or eight days to get to the back of the fortress. This is a very fatal one. Time difference.

In addition to the unfavorable situation of the fortress in World War I, Oswen inevitably worried about things that he had not considered before. For example, he had only thought about the battle of his fortress before, rushing to the place where he joined Urdu and others, and then Cao Cao fought a **** battle, waiting for Aldahir to back stab.

In case, Aldashir did not come, in case, Aldashir came, the two of them still did not join forces to kill each other, in case, he and Kapil were blocked under the fortress in reverse.

After all, the mountain trail is very difficult for the army to pass. It needs a lot of reserves to do it. When it comes back, the mountain trail’s reserves are exhausted and the back road is blocked by the fortress. Once the Han army has enough The strength of the chase behind them, they can only fight the Han army decisively under the fortress. At that time...

Oswen’s cold sweat has come down, which is a manifestation of poor thoughts.

I didn’t recognize these issues before, and Oswen felt that he had considered it very carefully. Then, as long as Aldashir was killed from behind Cao Cao, the two main forces attacked Cao Cao. The victory was almost in sight, but now it is blocked by the fortress. , Oswen finally realized the problem, he seemed to have pitted himself to death?

Thinking of this, Oswen hesitated a lot. Taking down the fortress is a very important part of the plan, but now that even this part of the plan has problems, then his plan seems to have collapsed?

"Oswen!" Salman saw Oswen lost his mind, and the arrow had been shot towards Oswen, and immediately yelled and stretched out his hand to drag Oswen away.

But after Oswen drew off the arrow, his state barely recovered, and he nodded to Salman who was a little nervous, took a deep breath, and ordered a retreat.

At this time, Oswen had actually reacted. It was no longer possible for him to knock down the fortress. Li Dian’s new force was thrown into the battlefield. Guishuang’s morale was already sluggish. If he continued to fight, he could only add losses. There was only one option to retreat. .

After thinking about this, Oswen did not dare to delay. At this time, the water level had dropped by nearly one foot. At this rate, the flood would completely recede in about three days. During these three days, Oswen was retreating quite a bit. For silence.

Le Jin and Cao Ren didn't mean to stop Oswen from retreating either. Except for using some arrow points to kill some of the slow runners, the rest was basically left alone. After all, they were not good at water warfare, and their mission was to defend. fortress.

"Win!" Cao Ren shouted, watching Oswen leaving against the current, and then ordered the soldiers to quickly search and rescue the corpses. In the current climate, floods and dead corpses can easily evolve into plagues, so it is better to deal with the corpses as soon as possible.

"Next there should be no problems for us. I didn't expect it to be so smooth in the end." Le Jin's face was obviously with a bit of surprise. It was too smooth. After the flood that they were most worried about, Guishuang climbed to the city to make a decisive battle. , It's so overwhelming.

"Quickly notify the lord, and inform the lord Yu of this news, so that the lord can strangle the imperial scepter with peace of mind." Cao Ren laughed and said, he was prepared for heavy losses here, and the overall loss in the end was actually far smaller. Over Cao Ren's psychological preparation.

In the middle reaches of the Helmand River, when Cao Ren defeated Oswen, Cao Cao was already about to catch up with the imperial scepter led by Urdu and the main force of Guishuang.

"Strange, the Helmand River actually rose, and the runoff actually reached the level of the rainy season, and even increased." The intelligence reported by the scout was collected and passed to the master of Xun You. This time Xun You was the mastermind. .

"It's probably because the upstream Oswen couldn't bear it and chose to break the embankment. It seems that the other party is really prepared." Xun You sighed.

At this point in time, it was only about three or two days before Cao Cao and the others caught up with the Imperial Scepter, while Oswen came down from the upper reaches in less than ten days, but the problem is that the two sides are going towards each other. Oswen ran down, while the Imperial Scepter ran up.

"If Cao Zixiao defended the upper fortress and caused Osven and Urdu to fail to converge here, we would be more likely to defeat the imperial scepter." Chen Gong said, looking at Xun You earnestly. In this situation, the initiative is still there. They are on hand.

"He can hold on." Xun You said calmly.

"That's good, this will give us at least ten more days." Chen Gong nodded, knowing that both Kapil and Ur are from the Hindu Kush Mountains on the north side of the Helmand River Valley. Counting the time, this detour will take at least 20 days.

In addition, after the flood, there were at least ten days in which the city could not be attacked. No matter which Oswen chose, he did not take down the fortress guarded by Cao Ren on the day of the flood. Cao Cao would have at least ten more days to strangle the imperial scepter.

This time is very important. Whether or not you can kill the Imperial Scepter really depends on these ten days. Let's try your best!
