The Liaodong Army did not think that it would lose at all. Because it was located in a cold and cold place, compared with the Yangzhou army in the south, the soldiers in the north were generally higher than the soldiers in the south. In addition, those who could enter the East Army were all elite, so Yue Peng was very confident that annihilated this landing force of the Yangzhou Navy, although it was not helpful to the overall situation, it could also boost morale, right?

So Yue Peng gave up his defense and directly charged forward, fighting towards the Yangzhou soldiers and horses over there.

But as soon as they came into contact, Yue Peng cried. Why are the Yangzhou navy's armor of the same style stronger than theirs? The swords in their hands are hard to break through the armor of the Yangzhou Marine Corps. Even if they pierced, the swords in their hands were bumpy. However, the swords in their hands could cut the armor of the Zhendong Army. Moreover, once the swords of their own soldiers collided with the Yangzhou sword, a gap suddenly appeared. Yue Peng's soldiers are like unarmed people, and the opponents are all enemies wearing heavy armor. How can they fight this battle?

So if Yue Peng's subordinates had not tried their best to protect him, and the quality of the Zhendong Army was very high, he might not have been able to return to Changi County. But in this way, there were less than a thousand Zhendong Army who returned to Changi County.

Mo Zihui's face was terrifying. In this battle, there were less than 8,000 elite soldiers who came back to Changi County, including thousands of wounded people. In other words, he lost half of his soldiers after only one battle with the enemy.

How can this continue? Especially Yue Peng lost the Zhendong Army in his hand, and only less than a thousand people came back.

"Very good. Very good. Very good!" Mo Zihui said with a gloomy face to Yuepeng, who was kneeling on the ground. Yuepeng's body was shaking even louder and cold sweat was rising on his forehead.

"General, please spare me, general!" Mo Ran wanted to let Yue Peng cover the retreat of the large army at the beginning, but he did not let Yue Peng go forward to fight with the Yangzhou army, focusing on defense, but Yue Peng did not listen, which led to the current result. It would be fine if the other troops were lost, but the Zhendong Army was really a soldier and horse piled up with gold. Not to mention that Yue Peng could not afford to take on it, even Mo Ran Mo Zihui could not bear it. A set of armor and a battle knife cost at least 100,000 gold, and the scale of these thousands of people was nearly 100,000 gold. If the lord, grandfather-in-law, Sun Du blamed him, then Mo Ran was very happy.

"Come on, drag Yue Peng down and chop him!" He made a fuss in front of the formation. If the Dong Army had not been defeated, thousands of more troops might have been brought back. Now, the Dong Army is over. These other troops were blocked by the enemy outside Changi City.

Mo Ran said angrily.

"General, I was wrong, I was wrong, please spare me, please spare me!" Yue Peng became panicked. Yue Peng was covered in cold sweat. No one wanted to die, right?

The more he finally got to the position of deputy general, he cherished his life even more.

Fortunately, Yue Peng's character is pretty good. Several thousand generals begged for Yue Peng. "General, although General Yue is guilty, he will not die! This is not all because General Yue is blamed, but the soldiers and horses in Yangzhou are too elite!"

"Yes, General, after we contacted those Yangzhou soldiers, we were about to collapse. Those Yangzhou merchants sold these inferior armor and weapons to us. Their swords could easily tear open our armor, but our swords could not break their defenses, and even our swords could not touch them. Once they were cut, they would inevitably break!" Someone said bitterly on the side.

"Huh?" Mo Zihui frowned. Yue Peng on the side also saw his life and hurriedly shifted the blame to the Yangzhou army and Yangzhou merchants selling weapons and armor. It's not that we are not good at it, but that the enemy is too powerful.

Is Yangzhou's weapons and armor inferior? This is an impossible thing. Mo Ran has touched every armor and weapons bought in Yangzhou. Those weapons are definitely good weapons and armor, all of which are refining weapons, so the quality cannot be poor.

"General, I took off this set of armor and swords from an enemy who died in battle. Please take a look at it!" Yue Peng was still brainy. Even if he was defeated, he did not forget to find a soldier who died in battle to pull out his armor and weapons. Although the enemy won, there were still casualties.

Yue Peng brought his weapons and armor up.

Mo Ran took the armor and sword, and he gently stroked his hair with the sword. Swish, a piece of short hair fell down. Can you blow short hair?

Mo Ran's face became solemn, "Come on, bring a pair of armor and swords from Zhendong Army!" It is easy to see if you look at a sword and armor alone. You need to compare them, and those Zhendong Army wear a kind of contrast.

Soon someone took back the armor and swords of the Dongdong Army.

Mo Ran tried one by one, and his brows frowned. Sure enough, Yue Peng did not exaggerate it. All he said was reflected in this. Although the swords in their hands were elite, they were not of the same level as those of the Yangzhou army. When the swords collided with each other, the first one was their swords. Their swords could only draw a white mark on the enemy's armor, but the enemy's swords could tear the armor apart.

How can I fight this?

Mo Ran abandoned the weapons of both sides on the ground. He knew that what Yue Peng said was true. It was not that their weapons and armor were bad, nor that Yangzhou soldiers sold fake goods, but that others had better ones but that they didn't sell them to you. Now they are suffering from being late.

"Yuepeng, you can be punished for death, but you can't escape the death penalty. You are demoted and you will be the deputy general. Go to the city to be a chief lieutenant!" Mo Ran said to Yuepeng.

"Thank you, General, thank you for not killing you, thank you!" Although Yue Peng felt very uncomfortable, after all, he finally climbed up to the position of this deputy general, and now he was knocked down to the commander. Will this be a good mentality? Fortunately, he saved his life, right?

He waved his hand and said, "Go down!" Mo Ran had a headache. He didn't understand why the weapon and armor he bought for a lot of money turned into a city like this.

"Although the generals have sharp armor, the generals have only a few thousand. Not only are we still eight thousand people left, we also have Changi County. As long as we wait in the city to stand firm and wait for General Zhou Hai's reinforcements, the Yangzhou army will definitely defeat themselves without attacking!" The subordinates on the side comforted Mo Ran.

Mo Ran nodded after hearing this. The enemy had sharp swords and elite armor, but they had a city. The scale of this Changi County was really not small, and the city wall was dozens of meters high, which was their advantage.

Another point is that the thing that will thunder on those giant ships doesn't need to be considered. He used to miscalculate the range of that thing, but now Changi County is dozens of miles away from the Liaodong Port, so your warship can't go ashore.

"Send the order to keep the troops on guard, and Changi City must not be lost!" Mo Ran has already done the idea of ​​living and dying with Changi City. If Yangzhou soldiers come to attack the city, he will settle the matter with Yangzhou soldiers and horses.

After Ling Chao defeated the Liaodong Zhendong Army, he was waiting for the subsequent Yangzhou Marine Corps to go ashore. Although Ling Chao was a little arrogant, he was not stupid. If he went deeper, he might be ambushed and hit by the enemy. It would be a loss. So after the landing troops from behind came ashore one after another, Ling Chao set out to head towards Changi County.

Ling Chao now has more than 4,000 people under his command. Apart from being caught off guard by the turtle ship of the Liaodong Navy, there is no big loss.

But that's it. Ling Chao frowned when he walked below Changi County. Changi County is no longer a county town, and even some remote counties do not have this scale.

"General, do we need to attack hard?" The deputy general also saw the scale of Changi County and asked Ling Chao.

Strong attack? Although Ling Chao is not afraid of death, he doesn't want his robe to suffer such an unknown loss. The battle of attack is the biggest loss, let alone the siege. There are many banners and people striking around, which means that Changi County has already been prepared. Now there is only one way to attack.

Ling Chao wanted to build crossbows to attack Changi County, but Liaodong is not the Jiangnan area. It has dense forests, and it is close to the sea. All the original woods have been cut down to build a port. Where can there be extra giant trees to build crossbows? Even if there are, there are no giant stones.

Is it really necessary to attack? Ling Chao doesn't like attacking, but it doesn't mean he is afraid of attacking. Just when Ling Chao was about to wave his hand to ask a team of thousands of people under his command to prepare for attacking, a messenger came from behind the army.

The messenger found a war horse in the port of Liaodong and rushed over. Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he half-kneeled down, "Transfer the order of General Ganning, the army stopped moving forward, rested on the spot, and waited for the arrival of reinforcements!"

"Reinforcements?" Ling Chao was a little confused about the fact that there were only a few thousand people in their landing troops, all of which were here. Where did the reinforcements come from, but they still obeyed, because Gan Ning gave him face before, he could not help but give Gan Ning face. Now Ling Chao has obeyed orders and Gan Ning without realizing it.

"Transfer the orders and the army set up camp!" Ling Chao's military orders were passed on.

"General, you see, with Changi County here, they can't even imagine entering my Liaodong mansion!" Mo Ran's subordinates next to him said to Mo Ran.

"Yeah!" Mo Ran nodded. If he attacked strongly, he leaned on the defense of the city wall. In this way, the advantages of armor and weapons in the hands of Yangzhou soldiers and horses were minimized. Now he has to stick to the support, and it is impossible to reverse the situation by relying on the thousands of soldiers in the city. So he has to wait for the arrival of another reinforcement Zhou Hai army. (To be continued, please search for astronomy, the novel is better and faster!
