Three Kingdoms: I choose Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao, why are you crying, Diao Chan?

Chapter 262: First Test of the Iron Pagoda! (Thanks to Black Knight for the monthly ticket support~)

Li Jue and Min Gong were both stunned!

But the next moment, Li Jue suddenly realized that this might be a plan of the enemy!

He quickly looked around!

But the imagined enemy did not appear.

Li Jue and Min Gong were suspicious for a moment. At this moment, one of their soldiers suddenly pointed to the camp and said:
"Look, there are lots of warm clothes made of animal fur! And lots of food!"

Due to the shortage of food and the cold weather these days, the soldiers had no food or clothing to eat or wear.

Seeing these things at this moment, my heart was immediately moved and I rushed towards them like a swarm of bees.

Li Jue wanted to stop them, but he considered that the enemy did not appear at this moment.

The soldiers suffered a lot as they fled with him, so they did not try to stop him.

However, out of caution, he ordered the soldiers to check whether there were any problems with these items.

After making sure that there was no problem, he didn't say much, but just ordered his men to be alert around to prevent the enemy from suddenly appearing.

When Min Gong saw that Li Jue was not in a hurry to leave, he let his soldiers loot clothes and food at will.

The attendant Hu Miao hurriedly rode his horse to Li Jue's side and advised again:

"The enemy suddenly disappeared, but left behind so many supplies. There must be a trick!

"We'd better leave as soon as possible!"

Li Jue glared at Hu Miao fiercely:
"The enemy must have seen our army coming out in full force and was so frightened that they withdrew immediately, without having time to take these supplies with them.

“Besides, how can the enemy’s army of only 10,000 people defeat my army of 23,000?
“Once the soldiers are well fed and clothed, their morale and combat effectiveness will surely rise further!
"Didn't you say the enemy would set up an ambush? Where would it be?

"Humph, if it weren't for me, how could you have become the Minister of the Court? Do you really think you have any real talent?"

Hearing Li Jue's sarcasm and insults, Hu Miao was so angry that he trembled all over:
"If it weren't for your kindness, would I really think I was willing to advise you?

"Since you won't listen to me, there's no point in me staying here. I'm leaving now!"

After saying this, Hu Miao turned his horse around and went straight back to Yincheng.

Bai Bo's commander Hu Cai persuaded Li Jue:

"General, Minister Hu is quite talented. It would be a great loss to the court if such a talent is driven away!"

Li Jue snorted coldly:
"He rebelled against the imperial court and surrendered to the enemy. I'm lucky I didn't kill him! If he wants to leave, let him go!"

Seeing Li Jue say this, Hu Cai could only sigh and say no more.

Without Li Jue's restraint, the soldiers under his command immediately fell into chaos.

Some soldiers even fought over a small number of animal skin cotton coats and hot porridge and hot cakes!

Some soldiers even took off their armor and started trying on cotton coats.

Li Jue looked at the noisy camp and for some reason, he felt that something was wrong.

Just at this moment, Li Jue suddenly heard the earth-shaking sound of drums!

The drum sound seemed to come from the mountains on both sides. It was deafening and chilling!

The next moment, two cavalry teams of 5,000 men suddenly rushed towards them from the mountain stream!

Li Jue's face changed instantly!
Because he noticed that each of the 500 cavalrymen in front of the two teams was wearing thick black and silver armor!

Everyone just showed a pair of cold eyes!

Even the war horses beneath them were covered with large areas of iron armor!

Every man and every horse should be on full defense!

They rushed towards them like human chariots!

Li Jue hurriedly ordered his soldiers to form up.

However, the soldiers who were just in chaos became even more confused after being frightened, and they had no time to reorganize. Most of the soldiers were gathered in a small camp, which restricted their movements.

In addition, the sudden appearance of the enemy made them panic. For a moment, people and horses were crowded together, and the scene became even more chaotic!
Only then did Li Jue realize that everything in the camp was a trap set by the enemy!

He suddenly remembered Hu Miao's reminder and immediately regretted it.

However, it was too late to regret now, as Li Jue originally wanted to lead his army to meet the enemy.

But when he saw the horrific armor coverage rate of the 500 cavalrymen in front of the enemy, he was immediately frightened and dared not to fight.

He could only lead the soldiers who could escape and flee to the north as quickly as possible!

As for those infantrymen who remained in the camp and had no time to escape, he couldn't care less!

The situation on Min Gong's side was even more chaotic than that on Li Jue's side, and there was even a situation of trampling on each other!

When Min Gong saw that Li Jue was the leader in escaping, he also stopped caring.

He only ordered the army to flee northward, and then took the lead in fleeing northward.

At this moment, Han Dang, who was chasing Li Jue, immediately sent out two thousand ordinary cavalry to charge at the enemy troops in the camp.

He led 500 cavalrymen named "Iron Pagoda" and 2,500 ordinary cavalrymen to pursue Li Jue.

Feeling the heavy armor on his body, Han Dang's expression under the armor was firm and solemn.

Although he had done some adaptation training before, he still felt a little struggling when applying it in actual combat.

Even he, the general, found it exhausting, not to mention the other soldiers behind him.

Seeing that Li Jue was leading thousands of light cavalry and running faster and faster, and that he could not catch up at all, Han Dang had to turn around and eliminate the enemy behind him.

At any rate, his mission was accomplished and the enemy's strength was drastically reduced.

Finally, let the most elite troops and the most trusted generals under Duke Chu deal with these people...

Han Dang and the cavalry led by Zhou Tai attacked Li Jue's soldiers who were trapped in the camp.

Some of these people died, while others surrendered.

Especially when seeing the highly armored cavalry led by Han Dang and Zhou Tai.

The visual impact alone is enough to scare them to death!

In this battle alone, only 9,000 of Li Jue's 23,000 soldiers escaped.

There were 14,000 people left, more than 5,000 of them were killed or seriously injured, and the rest all surrendered!

Han Dang only used a little trick and he and Zhou Tai won a great victory!
Of course, the "Iron Pagoda" invented by the lord played a significant role in this.

Although one thousand sets of iron pagodas have been built and used for a period of time.

However, the selected soldiers were not fully accustomed to the weight of the Iron Pagoda, and they had not learned the formation of the "Iron Pagoda".

Otherwise, just these one thousand Iron Pagodas and nine thousand ordinary cavalry would be enough to wipe out Li Jue's 20,000 men!
Han Dang couldn't help but sigh that the Duke of Chu who invented this kind of armor was truly a genius!

If this Iron Pagoda is fully developed in the future, it will have the terrifying ability to match or even surpass the Xianzhen Camp in cavalry charges!
…………

the other side.

Li Jue, who was fleeing in a panic, finally slowed down and breathed a long sigh of relief when he saw that the enemy was not chasing him.

However, when he met up with Min Gong to count the troops, he found that he only had more than 9,000 light cavalry!

All infantry fell!
Just because they did not follow Hu Miao's advice, they lost half of their troops again!

Li Jue slapped his forehead in annoyance:

"If we had followed Minister Hu's advice, why would we have ended up like this..."

Min Gong was just about to step forward and say something to comfort him.

At this moment, a team of a thousand men in black armor suddenly appeared in front of them!
As soon as this team appeared, Li Jue and his men were immediately terrified and tense!
