Uesaka was speechless and subconsciously pointed to the third bridge, "Who is that again?"

The distraught Tsukamoto Taro looked for his voice and was suddenly stunned.

There is also a huge flag flying on the third bridge.

Write a big letter.

summer!

"This……"

Looking at the general's flag, Tsukamoto Taro was also a little confused and couldn't help but look at his military advisor.

Several military advisors looked at each other and complained secretly.

They racked their brains but couldn't think of any general named Xia in the Central Army Corps or the East China Sea Barrier, and they couldn't help but look at each other.

But several people quickly reacted and looked through the Yunchui Empire's famous generals list in their hands.

After a while, a military advisor raised his head hesitantly.

"General, after looking through my subordinates, there are four or five generals named Xia in Yunchui, but..."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but glance at the loudly ringing "Lu" flag below.

"The only one who can fight alongside Neng Lu Yulong should be Dingxi Commandery Commander Xia Bangwei."

nonsense.

Although he was anxious, Tsukamoto Taro's first feeling was still a bit ridiculous.

Dingxi County is far to the west of Yunchui, separated from Huayang County by thousands of mountains and rivers.

As a lieutenant of Dingxi County, how could Xia Bangwei appear here.

Uesaka was rushing back to Dinghai Pier to report to Ishikawa Taki. At this time, he couldn't help but stop when he heard the military advisor's words.

"let me see."

He grabbed the book of famous generals and compared it with the "Xia" flag below, his heart suddenly sank.

It’s really Chabonwei!

Even the soldiers and horses from Dingxi County arrived.

Then Yun Chui's other troops, especially Guan Lu Ping's Xing Lao Blood Camp, should have arrived by now.

How many people are there on the opposite side?

Thirty thousand, fifty thousand or one hundred thousand...

Thinking of this, Uesaka felt even colder in his heart.

He no longer cared about the battle situation below, quickly stuffed the roster into Tsukamoto Taro's arms, and got off the watchtower with a thump.

drive!

The sound of horse hooves sounded.

In the blink of an eye, the three riders galloped towards Dinghai Pier.

"General," the military advisors watched as Uesaka ran away and looked at the general in panic, "it seems that the three bridges below cannot withstand it. What should we do?"

How to do?

Tsukamoto Taro was also asking himself in his heart.

Kill.

However, as soon as he hesitated, Yun Chui Xiaobing had already roared across the Luzuo River like a tide, and set foot on the land on the east bank unstoppably.

A military advisor was frightened when he heard this and quickly stood up.

"General, even Xia Bangwei has arrived. I guess Yun Chui has set a big trap waiting for us. Now that the enemy has many soldiers and generals, and they are all as powerful as a rainbow, Lu Zuohe probably can't hold it."

"That's right." The other military advisors reacted and hurriedly came over to persuade, "General, the enemy is coming fiercely, and it won't help if we continue to defend."

"Yunchui people often say that if you keep the green hills, you won't be afraid of running out of firewood. Otherwise, let's retreat quickly."

"This," Tsukamoto Taro hesitated, "General Ishikawa's side..."

"General," a military advisor looked at the battle situation below, sweating profusely.

"What's wrong with General Ishikawa? Didn't General Ishikawa often say that a good general is easy to find but a good general is hard to find? Although there are thousands of generals in Yamato, there are only a handful of them as brave and resourceful as you. Like General Ishikawa, you are also a member of the empire. One of the most indispensable pillars.”

"We...you must not stay here."

As for the Japanese pirate soldiers below, they were defeated like a mountain, so let them resign themselves to their fate.

Anyway, not only they but also Ishikawa Taki had done it once, and they were very used to it.

Tsukamoto Taro's forehead jumped sharply, "I'm afraid this is inappropriate, we still have a lot of troops."

"General," a military advisor said, regardless of superiority or inferiority, "you are confused."

"In Huayang County today, Yun Chui's army is pressing down on the three fronts of the north, south, and west. To put it bluntly, the enemy has more soldiers than us and will be stronger than us. The war situation is irreversible. If we don't continue, we will be dead."

"Otherwise, over there at Dinghai Pier..."

After saying that, he glanced vaguely towards the east.

Uesaka is rushing to Dinghai Pier. It is estimated that as soon as Ishikawa Taki learns about the battle situation here in Luzuo River, with his cautious and cold temperament, he will immediately set off to the sea and escape.

By then they will be the ones left behind.

Tsukamoto Taro was moved and immediately no longer hesitated. He gritted his teeth and uttered three words: "Let's go!"

----

Yin Shi.

It’s late at night, but Dinghai Pier is still brightly lit.

All the Japanese pirates, including Ishikawa Taki, were not asleep.

Left wing, Trebuchet Heights.

Ishikawa Taki looked at the sea to the east, his face sinking like water.

At this time, the East China Sea was also brightly lit. In addition to the Japanese pirates themselves, there were countless warships covering the distant sea, tightly surrounding the Dinghai Pier.

"General," a military advisor said with a panicked voice, "Look at this battle, the fleets from the north and south of the East China Sea Barrier may have arrived early."

"It's just that that bastard Lu Fuhai circled eastward and blinded all our ships. He didn't press westward until they surrounded the sea outside Dinghai Pier..."

"Why are you panicking?" Ishikawa Taki glared at the military advisor who reported the report angrily, "How are the trebuchets and ballistae on the left and right flanks being repaired?"

As long as these two positions are in hand, no matter how many barrier ships there are in the East China Sea, they will never be able to attack them in a short while.

It's just okay not to mention it. As soon as Ishikawa Taki mentioned the trebuchet and ballista, the little military advisor's face became even more depressed.

"General, when we captured Dinghai Pier, my subordinates reported to you that the trebuchets and ballistae on the left and right wings were damaged a lot."

Ishikawa Taki was a little confused, but he still nodded and said: "I will remember it."

Weapons, if used frequently, will become more or less damaged, which is completely normal.

Furthermore, when they broke through the high ground on the left and right, the central army set fire themselves, so it is understandable that the trebuchet and ballista were slightly damaged.

"Forget it if the damage is too serious." Ishikawa Taki asked, "Why, after so long, have the minor injuries not been repaired?"

"General," the little military advisor shrank his neck, "the repair brothers work hard day and night, but..."

So far, less than a quarter has been repaired.

And the rest has no value at all in repairing it.

"What?" Ishikawa Taki's eyes widened in disbelief, "What's going on?"

The little military advisor quickly explained his findings in detail.

Finally, he sighed: "General, the Central Army Corps probably doesn't maintain all kinds of supplies."

"It's just that the quantity is insufficient. The boom arms of many trebuchets and the main bow arms of light and heavy catapults are either covered with thick rust or have large and small bug holes. They break as soon as the string is started, and they cannot be repaired at all. "

Ishikawa Taki's heart suddenly sank.

His mind flashed.

No wonder when they first grabbed a stall to land, the frontline generals reported that the firepower on the shore had suddenly decreased a lot for no reason.

No wonder they fought ashore later, and the firepower coming down from the high ground on both sides was never strong.

It turned out to be the case.

"Continue to have people repair it. If it can't be repaired, dismantle it into parts and try to reassemble it. Just make it one by one."

"Yes." The little military advisor shook his head and left.

Report!

At this time, the sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded.

Sixty miles is not too far, Uesaka finally rushed back from Lu Zuo Academy.

Ishikawa Taki perked up, "You're back? Where did the West Route Army go? Has it reached Huayang City?"

Ugh.

Uesaka jumped off his horse and sighed.

"General, we have all fallen into Yun Chui's trap. As for the West Route Army, they are still in Lu Zuo Academy..."

Having said this, he looked at the sky and said, "I guess we have been defeated."

what?

Ishikawa Taki was startled, "How is that possible!"

Uesaka quickly explained the battle situation and what he knew in detail.

The more Ishikawa Taki listened, the uglier his expression became. In the end, his hands were shaking faintly.

After regaining consciousness, he yelled, "Map!"

Wow.

The map of Huayang County quickly unfolded, and the positions, strength and leading generals of the enemy and ourselves were marked.

Ishikawa Taki looked left and right, opening his mouth again and again, but he couldn't find a way out.

In the end he could only close his eyes in pain.

"Get aboard and prepare to break out." (End of this chapter)
