Chapter 228
Jia Nian held the reins under the city gate, and a phalanx gradually gathered.

More than [-] soldiers exuded a murderous aura, and the chaotic crowd gradually returned to calm.

"The one who came is the chief of Chaohu Lake." The city guard led a group of soldiers from Shu County to the city wall and asked Jia Nian.

A phalanx gathered behind them, and only then did the generals defending the city learn of the general casualties.

Unexpectedly, in this battle, the loss was as high as more than two hundred people.

But thinking of the dangerous situation just now, he couldn't help but feel a little silent.

This is only the casualties of the soldiers. If the casualties of the common people are added, the losses will be even greater.

Fortunately, the reinforcements came in time, otherwise Lujiang would be in danger.

"Exactly," Jia Nian got off his horse and replied loudly.

Gan Ning, Gan Cunxiao, Gu Enze and others looked over.

Seeing everyone's gazes, the guarding general couldn't help but gasp, he didn't expect this army to be so elite.

Three hundred elite soldiers of Tier 3 and Tier 3, plus hundreds of Tier 2 soldiers and Tier 1 soldiers.

Such an army can be regarded as an elite soldier in Lujiang.

"Thank you, Chief Chaohu, for your help. I would be grateful," the city guard general said loudly.

Maybe it's because of strength, maybe it's because of Jia Nian's family status.Even though his official position is higher than that of Chaohu, he still lowered his tone to show respect.

"You are being polite, General. Although Chen Ce has retreated, his strength still exists. Although the crisis in Shu County has been temporarily suspended, it has not been completely eliminated. I don't know what should we do next?" Jia Nian asked.

Hundreds of eyes looked at the general defending the city at the same time, and silent pressure permeated the air.

"We are the defenders of Shu County, so we should stay here. As for the soldiers and horses of the Chaohu Chief, they will naturally return to the Chaohu Chief's decision," said the general guarding the city.

The implication is that each manages its own soldiers and horses, and they do not belong to each other.

This is also in line with Jia Nian's intentions: "Chen Ce commanded three thousand troops. Although he only brought more than a thousand troops in the attack on Shu County, Shiting still has one soldier horse. If we send troops rashly, I'm afraid it's not appropriate."

"Then what should we do according to the words of the chief of Chaohu Lake?" asked the general guarding the city.

Jia Nian thought about it, but seeing the guarded faces of the general and the three hundred soldiers from Shu County, they said loudly: "Shu County is my county seat in Lujiang, so nothing can be lost."

"Therefore, I intend to lead Chaohu troops to station outside the city, and form a corner with Shu County." Jia Nian hesitated a little at this point.

A look of embarrassment appeared on his face: "It's just that I came in a hurry and there is a shortage of supplies in the army. Will the general give me some military supplies and let me wait to set up camp?"

"What's so difficult about this? Mayor Chaohu can rest assured that he will lead the army out of the city to station. He will send someone to deliver some supplies for you." The city guard general and the three hundred Shu County soldiers breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

There is a saying that it is easy to ask God to send God, but now the crisis is temporarily lifted.Chaohu Lake is also nominally under the management of Lujiang County.

But he couldn't stand the fierceness of Chaohu Lake, so he had to pay more attention.

The soldiers and horses in Chaohu Lake are nominally a regular army, but it is undeniable that they were gathered by countless water thieves.

As water thieves, seeing the prosperity of Shu County, it is inevitable that they will get hotheaded and do some irrational things.

Judging from the current military strength in the city, once such a thing happens, the consequences will be disastrous.

"Farewell" Seeing the expressions of the Shu County soldiers and the general, Jia Nian bowed to him and strode away.

Now that the desired benefits have already been achieved, wouldn't it be superfluous to ask for trouble.

Leading the horses and walking forward, the soldiers of Shu County gave way one after another.

Gan Ning and others followed closely behind.

Seeing Jia Nian's back, the guarding general couldn't help being taken aback, he didn't expect Chaohu Chief to be so talkative.

However, this clean and neat style also gave him a good impression.

The head of Chaohu Lake deserves to be the one who devoured Chaohu Lake with a crowd of one hundred people. This kind of bearing is beyond my comparison.

You must know that this is a great time to repay your kindness.

……

Chen Ce led the army to run for five miles in a row, and then stopped.

Looking around, a phalanx gradually gathered behind him.

"Hao Shuai, why are we running?" A leader couldn't help asking loudly.

Everyone looked over at the same time, all with puzzled expressions.

Chen Ce's beating heart gradually relaxed, and he kept reflecting on the scene of the battle just now.

Dozens of leaders looked at each other and spoke at the same time.

"This battle is obviously a victory for us, so we hurriedly withdrew to the point of falling short."

"Although I don't know why the soldiers and horses from Chaohu appeared in Shu County, it is undeniable that the Ruxu saliva bandits are attacking Changhe Town. Even if they are lucky enough to defeat those water bandits, how can there be no casualties?"

"My subordinates have heard that there are no more than a thousand troops in Chaohu Lake. In addition, fighting with water bandits and galloping all the way, there is a great loss in both numbers and physical strength. It is a pity that we were scared off by this exhausted army."

Listening to these remarks, Chen Ce's eyes kept flickering, and he fell into deep thought.

Seeing that Chen Ce was a little moved, a leader took the opportunity to suggest: "Youdao means it's not too late to mend the situation, why don't we regroup and fight back?"

"Not right. First, I don't know how many soldiers and horses came to Chaohu Lake, but judging from its momentum, it should be no less than [-] people. Second, there were originally [-] defenders in Shu County. However, with the addition of Chaohu reinforcements, there are no less than a thousand people. If we attack by force, they will lose more than they gain by relying on the advantage of the city wall," another leader analyzed.

All of a sudden, the leaders had different opinions, and gradually divided into two factions to argue endlessly.

"Having said that, don't forget that the soldiers and horses in Chaohu Lake are all tired soldiers"

"How can you see it? If it's not the tired soldiers? And isn't our army tired?"

"Shu County is right in front of us. If we don't take advantage of this opportunity to attack, it will be difficult to find such a fighter."

"There are not enough troops, it's better to take a break and make plans"

Everyone was talking, their voices were a little noisy.

"What if we drop Shiting soldiers here? After all, Chaohu soldiers have already stationed in Shu County. Wouldn't it be a waste for us to keep heavy troops in Shiting?" A leader said subconsciously.

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was stunned, and each of them showed excited expressions.

That's right, Shiting also has a troop.If Shiting's soldiers and horses were brought over, two thousand mighty men, wouldn't they still be able to take this city? .

Don't worry about casualties.

You must know that there are many young and strong people in Shu County, and coercing some of them can make up for the loss of troops.

"This plan is wonderful." Chen Ce was overjoyed.

Looking around at the bandits, he ordered loudly: "Send the order, go to Shiting and summon the second head's troops to come."

"After the two armies converge, I will send troops to Shu County to kill that confidant in one fell swoop," Chen Ce said loudly.

All the bandits shouted in unison: "No!"

Immediately afterwards, several bandits got on their horses, brandished their whips and galloped towards Shiting.

Looking at those figures going away, the bandits seemed to see Shu County with its gates open and the countless wealth and beauties inside.

His breathing became short of breath, and his eyes gradually blurred.
