Chapter 952: Misfortune
Logically speaking, the strength of the Izumo Army is higher than that of the Jialan Army, and their number is also greater than theirs.
This time the sneak attack must be successful and the team will return victorious.
But two hours later, as night fell, news came.
Jialan reinforcements arrive.
"What's going on?" Jin Luoluo felt something was wrong.[
Qinglong's expression was solemn, no longer relaxed: "I didn't expect that the thirty thousand soldiers and horses guarding Zhongcheng by Jialan would abandon Zhongcheng and rush to the front line to support the Jialan army that is retreating here."
Jin Luoluo's eyes widened in shock. This reinforcement that shouldn't have appeared was really unexpected.
"If we defeat them here and Zhongcheng has no troops to defend the city, can't we just march straight in? They gave up like this and the rear defense was completely empty. It was a big surprise. Most people would regard the important town as the place where the last stand is fought, but they actually did the opposite
That's the way to go, or this is their special counterattack."
Qinglong nodded: "The Jialan Army here, being suppressed by us, will definitely return to Zhongcheng within three days. Therefore, the Jialan Army in Zhongcheng simply came to support by surprise, lest the Jialan Army here suffer a disaster."
While he was talking, another messenger came anxiously to report.
It is said that Jialan's reinforcements were divided into two, with 10,000 soldiers and horses and 10,000 troops staying in the camp to fight against the 20,000 soldiers and horses of Izumo sent by Xiao Luo to sneak attack.
Among them, 20,000 soldiers and horses merged with 15,000 Jialan pursuing soldiers, blocking Xiao Luo's 10,000 soldiers and horses in the canyon.
Jin Luoluo was suddenly frightened.
It seems that the goal of the Jialan Army is Xiao Luo.
Originally, Xiao Luo had 10,000 and Jia Lan had 15,000. Their strength was quite equal, so it would not be difficult to escape.
Now 35,000 soldiers and horses are under siege, but the location is still in a canyon with no way out.
This is like catching a turtle in a urn and catching it with ease.
Qinglong's expression also changed drastically, and he was obviously also aware of the danger of Xiao Luo's situation.
"Qinglong, let's bring the 10,000 soldiers and horses from the camp to rescue him. He is in too much danger now." Jin Luoluo was worried.
If you rush there now, you may not be able to catch up.
What he was most afraid of was that Xiao Luo would be stuck in the canyon and unable to escape before they could provide support.
The Jialan Army gave up their rations because they wanted to capture the thief first and capture the king first.
If Xiao Luo misses and is captured, the outcome of this battle will obviously be that Izumo Country loses.
