Rebirth of Chu Overlord Super Summoning System

Chapter 142 - The Time Has Come!
"What?! Mianzhu has fallen?" Wei Yan collapsed to the ground instantly after hearing the scout's words.

"This..." Chen Gong was also shocked and speechless at this time.

"Not only that, all the rations in Mianzhu were intercepted by the Qin army!" The scout kneeling on the ground also said with red eyes at this time.

"How is this possible? How many people are there in the Qin army? How did they get there?!" Wei Yan took a while to recover and asked.

However, the scout kneeling on the ground shook his head in the face of Wei Yan's question.

"It's over, it's really over now! Gongtai, we underestimated the enemy!" Wei Yan only felt that all the strength in his body was drained, and he sat down on the chair limply.

Chen Gong was also shocked and speechless at this time, and it took a while to calm down and said: "Marshal, now is not the time to be sad! The Qin army has now occupied Mianzhu and intercepted all the food and grass of our army. And the food and grass in the city have already been destroyed. Not much left!
Presumably, in the next step, Zhao Tuo will definitely encircle Chengdu and kill our army here.All we can do now is to change strategy quickly.If we sit still and wait for death, it will be a trivial matter for me to die in battle, but if Yizhou falls, the consequences will be disastrous! "

In fact, what Chen Gong said was very reasonable. If Zhao Tuo was really allowed to pass through Yizhou, it would be a real disaster!
"Gongtai, tell me, what else can we do?" Wei Yan seemed a little helpless.

"If I'm not wrong, I'm afraid that Zhao Tuo has already mobilized heavy troops to launch a general attack on us! For the present plan, he can only order to set fire to burn down the bridges on the Han River! Defend Chengdu and fight to the death with the Qin army!" Chen Gong gritted his teeth.

After hearing this, Wei Yan said in horror: "Gongtai, once this bridge burns, our army will have no way out! Can't our army forcefully break through?"

"Marshal, no! Presumably, Zhao Tuo has already received the news of Mianzhu's fall! Next, he will definitely send a large army to encircle Chengdu!
If we forcibly break out of the siege, just relying on the troops in our hands, it is simply not enough for the Qin army to stuff the teeth!

Burning bridges is the best way at present! In this way, our army can concentrate its forces and defend Chengdu.Delay some more time and wait for the reinforcements to arrive!

Now we can only hold back Qin Jun as much as possible!It is urgent to send a letter to the imperial court, so that the imperial court can send troops quickly to come to the rescue! "

After hearing this, Wei Yan gritted his teeth and said ruthlessly: "Okay! Follow the policy of the public platform! Set fire to the bridge!"

After Wei Yan made his decision, he sent people eight hundred miles away to deliver the message to the DPRK.Then he ordered to burn the bridges and gather all his troops in the city to prepare for a decisive battle with the Qin army.
…………

Just when Wei Yan and Chen Gong made a decision.Zhao Tuo, who had already received the news from Deng Aijie, was overjoyed, but ordered more than [-] men to start from Jianwei and rush towards Hanshui and Chengdu, vowing to annihilate Wei Yan and take Yizhou in one fell swoop!

However, as soon as the Qin army left Jianwei City, they received information from the scouts in front. The Han army burned the Hanshui bridge with fire! And they all withdrew towards Chengdu.

After hearing this, Jia Xu smiled at Zhao Tuo and said, "Marshal, it seems that the Han army is going to make its last stand!"

Zhao Tuo nodded and said, "Wei Yan and Chen Gong have some skills, they actually came up with this plan to delay our army, but by doing so, they cut off their own way of retreat!

Pass me the military order!The whole army is advancing at an accelerated pace, and must arrive in Chengdu before dark!Tomorrow morning, launch the attack! "

"Yes!"

…………

Just when the Han army in Yizhou fell into trouble because Deng Ai smuggled across the Hanshui River.Cao Cao, who is far away in Cangwu, is also in trouble at this time!

Since the first battle in Shaxian County, Cao Cao retreated all the way to Cangwu, and then he stood firm and confronted the Qin army across the river.And Zhang Liang also set up a large formation below Cangwu City, constantly defeating the Qin army crossing the river, everything seemed so smooth.

But just three hours ago, a piece of news from the rear broke this favorable situation like a dream.

That is, Yixing Town, an important grain town in Jiujiang, fell! Not only that, but even the three important towns next to Yixing Town were burned to ruins by a Qin army that suddenly appeared.And the leader of this Qin army is Li Cunxiao, the second general of Lien Zhan under Sha County!

Cao Cao and Zhang Liang were shocked when they heard the news.You know, when the Jiujiang army was defeated and retreated to Cangwu, Cao Cao, on Zhang Liang's suggestion, sent troops to guard all the places tens of miles along the river.But now, Li Cunxiao appeared behind him as if descended from the sky, and even captured his important grain town.This news made it difficult for Cao Cao and even the senior generals of the Jiujiang Army to accept it.

Fortunately, although Cao Cao and Zhang Liang were shocked, they quickly recovered from their panic.Immediately, the two monarchs and ministers discussed how to deal with it.

After much deliberation, the two finally came up with a solution!That is to abandon Cangwu and garrison Guiping to resist the Qin army.

If you want to say why Cao Cao gave up Cangwu this time, it is a last resort!This Cangwu can be said to be a battleground for military strategists in the entire Wuzhou!

As for why Cao Cao was so anxious to return to aid, let's talk about the original deployment of the Jiujiang Army!
The Jiujiang Army has more than 5000 armored soldiers. There were more than 1 in Yulin at the beginning, but after the battle of Yulin, the Yulin defenders suffered heavy losses, leaving less than [-] people.

Cangwu Xiahou Dun had more than 5000 men under his command, and later went to support Xia Houyuan, and lost more than [-] people.

And Cao Cao came to support from Changsha, with only 3 soldiers and horses.The combined forces of the two Xiahou brothers totaled no more than 4 people. After the First World War in Sha County, their morale plummeted and their soldiers suffered heavy losses. Up to now, there are no more than [-] people under their command.

As mentioned earlier, the number of soldiers in Jiujiang is only [-]. Remove the troops stationed by the Marquis of the Two Xia Dynasty, and then remove the troops in other places.The troops in Changsha staying by Cao Cao's side were only more than [-] people.

Cao Cao came from Changsha for support, leaving only more than 3000 troops and [-] Guards garrisoned.It can be said that the current Changsha City is empty inside.If Li Cunxiao were to take advantage of this situation, Cao Cao might not even be able to get home!After all, Cao Cao's family members are all in Changsha City!
For this reason, Cao Cao naturally did not dare to take this risk, so he could only retreat, stop the Qin army that had penetrated deep into the hinterland, and then find another way to resist Zhao Kuangyin's army!
…………

However, when Cao Cao was in a state of desperation, Xiang Yu, an old neighbor, was not idle at the moment.

These days, Xiang Yu has been paying attention to the affairs of Cao Cao and Qin Jun.At this moment, Xiang Yu has been waiting, waiting for Cao Cao to personally come and ask him to send troops!
Moreover, according to the information sent back by Dai Zong and Shi Qian who were far away in Chang'an, the Han army that went north to expel the Huns has also gone south, and it is estimated that they will reach Chang'an in just a few days.

At this moment, Xiang Yu knew that his chance had come!
