Xie Daoxun dared to endure such a massacre at this time, he must have prepared a backup plan.
He didn't know what the other party's backup plan was.
So, he can't stop.
The most important thing is to break through the enemy's blockade in one fell swoop and then seize every opportunity to return to the country.
Only by returning to the country can we be invincible.
Even if it doesn't work, we must at this time inflict huge casualties on the Wu army and the Southern Chu army.
"General, we discovered that one of our cannons has a tiny crack!"
"What?"
Hearing this, Xiao Chuyun's expression suddenly changed and he stood up from his chair abruptly.
"This must be because it has been used too many times and has reached the upper limit of the barrel's lifespan as Haodi mentioned."
After a moment's hesitation, he ordered in a deep voice: "Immediately ask the military craftsmen to make an iron hoop to fix the barrel. Do not let the crack get bigger!"
"Also, the remaining gun barrels that have no cracks should also be clamped with iron hoops!"
This was the method Zhao Hao taught him before he went out to fight.
Zhao Hao's original words were: Brother, I haven't done a complete experiment to know how many shots this gun barrel can fire, but, according to my estimation, dozens or even hundreds of shots should not be a problem.
Therefore, when you use it, you must ask the soldiers to carefully check the gun body from time to time.
Once a crack appears, if the crack is not large, use an iron hoop to clamp it and continue to use it for a period of time.
If the crack is too big, just don't use it!
All ten cannons stopped firing, but the cavalry did not stop. After lighting torches, they continued to launch a frantic attack on the Allied positions.
However, the coalition forces did not sit still and wait for death. They set up chevaux de frise, tripwires, and sabers.
This also caused considerable losses to the Gan army.
But the Gan army didn't care about all this. They continued to attack the coalition forces like crazy, fearlessly.
The Southern Chu Army had seen this kind of formation once three years ago.
Wu Jun has also seen the same thing.
They all felt the resolute fighting spirit that erupted from the Gan army soldiers.
As their companions died one by one, fear gradually grew in the hearts of each of them.
As the main general, Xie Daoxun was the first to feel this change.
She knew that if she continued like this, it would be out of her control.
Immediately, he ordered 20,000 troops to cover the rear, and the main force of the army immediately left the battlefield and retreated towards the border between Yue and Gan.
After the order was given, the main force of the army set out immediately, and the 20,000-strong army began a frenzied fight with the Gan army.
It has to be said that the combat effectiveness of the Wu army is not as good as that of the Da Gan army.
But, still well-trained.
After receiving the order to cover the rear, the 20,000 troops fearlessly and proactively charged towards the Dagan cavalry.
While Da Gan was at it, Xiao Chuyun was the first to see the actions of the coalition forces.
He ordered the cavalry to eliminate the remaining Wu troops as quickly as possible.
Nearly two hours later, the moon was high in the sky, and not a single soldier of the 20,000-strong Wu army survived.
All of them died under the sharp blades of the Dagan cavalry.
A group of generals came to Xiao Chuyun and asked hurriedly: "General, should we pursue them immediately?"
Without waiting for Xiao Chuyun to speak, General Yu Ping said, "General, it's dark now, beware of fraud!"
Xiao Chuyun nodded. He naturally knew: "We will pursue them tomorrow."
The troops cleaned up the battlefield and returned to the camp, so there is no need to mention it.
The next morning, scouts reported that the coalition forces had advanced seventy miles overnight.
Approaching the north bank of Chushui River.
The Chushui River is a large river that flows from west to east, passing through Dagan and Yue State.
At the border between the two countries, there is a backflow to the north, and then continues to the east.
The water here is fast.
In the shape of a few.
Because of the existence of waterways, there are two ways for the two countries to communicate.
A waterway.
A dry road.
The dry road is very narrow because of the long ridge of the foggy mountain.
This is an important road that the soldiers must take to return home.
Here, the State of Yue set up a pass called Yangguan.
It means facing the relevant country.
At noon, Xiao Chuyun and Yu Ping led the army and headed towards Yangguan.
Yu Ping said: "General, the coalition forces have already occupied Yangguan, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to break through!"
Xiao Chuyun said: "Yangguan is a narrow place, easy to defend but difficult to attack. Fortunately, we are attacking from behind now."
"However, we have these ten sky-blasting cannons. A mere Yangguan Pass cannot stop us!"
Yu Ping nodded.
The sky-blasting cannon is truly an excellent weapon for breaking through barriers and attacking cities.
There is no barrier at all that can stop the bombardment of the sky cannon.
If one round is not enough, then try another round.
No matter how strong the city gates are, they cannot withstand the bombardment of the sky.
I really don’t know what’s wrong with Lord Zhao’s brain. He could actually invent such a horrible thing.
He couldn't help but think of the time when he was stationed in Jianning City two years ago.
If I had this sky-blaster in my hands at that time, those bastards in Nanchu would definitely not have been able to capture Jianning City under my hands.
Later, there won’t be such a critical moment.
Although that incident happened a long time ago, it has always been a thorn in his side.
The army marched very quickly and before dusk, they arrived behind Yangguan, less than five miles away.
Defensive fortifications had been built in Yangguan, and a thick city wall was built by packing soil with burlap.
