Chapter 1523: Escape Path
Ye Shikai sat on the chair, nervous, there were only a few lieutenants left in the barracks, and almost the whole army had already been put into battle, the outer wall of the camp was like a "meat grinder", and the sergeants on both sides were constantly put into it, and then ...... Only countless corpses remained.
Both sides know very well that this outer wall is the last line of defense, if there is no it, the Qin army can drive straight in, rush into the camp, and turn this place into a "slaughterhouse", so the rebel army is also desperately resisting, Ye Shikai also fought the rebel army a hundred times, and it is the first time to see such fierce resistance.
At this time, Wan Qiyuan walked in from outside the barracks, Ye Shikai raised his head, and when he saw the person coming, his solemn face finally showed a hint of relief.
"The last general, Wan Qiyuan, see the general. β
"Hurry up, the situation is urgent in wartime, and there is no need for so much courtesy. Ye Shikai nodded in response.
"General, Wan Qian originally asked for war for the cavalry. β
"Your courage is commendable, but it makes sense that I don't let the cavalry team participate in the war, the cavalry team is my old team, I know very well how difficult it is to train such an elite iron horse, you should also know as the commander of the cavalry team, how much effort we spent to form these two thousand iron cavalry, your battlefield is an empty plain, in this mountainous area, the rugged mountain road will "bind" your war horses, not only can not charge, but can only be slaughtered. β
"General, as a commander, I naturally think about my brethren, but as a warrior, I can't just watch the battle ahead and ignore it. Wan Qiyuan was neither humble nor arrogant, his voice was not very loud, and he did not roar directly, but Ye Shikai saw the perseverance in the eyes of this wolf man, just like the wolves on the grassland, forbearance and tenacity......
"Wan Qiyuan, you have always been calm, and when you came to me to ask for war today, I am afraid that you have already planned in your heart. Ye Shikai heard the meaning of Wan Qiyuan's words, if he didn't have sufficient plans and preparations, how could he rashly come to ask for battle.
"The general is wise, the last general does have a plan, and I hope the general will give him some advice. β
"Say it. β
"General, please look at the map. Wan Qiyuan pointed to the map hanging on the wall and said, this is Ye Shikai asked the sergeant to redraw according to the enemy camp distribution map sent back by the team members.
"What's wrong with this map. β
"Does the general think that the thieves will put their eggs in one basket? Wan Qiyuan suddenly said something, which attracted Ye Shikai's attention.
"Of course not, the team's report says, it's just one of the big camps. β
"General Hui, according to the investigation of the last general in the past few days, there is still a hidden road behind the camp, and if the thieves in the camp know that it is difficult to resist, they can slip away from the path. β
"What do you say. When Ye Shikai heard this, his nerves suddenly tensed, and his fingers trembled, the news that Wan Qiyuan brought to him was tantamount to "a blow to the head", if the enemy really slipped away, it would be meaningless for thousands of people to fight in front.
"Is this news accurate? Ye Shikai turned his back and said in a cold voice, "You should understand that if you tell a lie, what will happen." β
"The last general is willing to guarantee with his life, every word is true, if there is half a lie, the last general is willing to apologize for his sin. β
"Wait a minute, how do you know. Ye Shikai asked.
"As soon as the army entered the mountains, the last general sent his men to explore the path on fast horses, and when I learned of the enemy's camp, I sent light horsemen to go around behind them, and stumbled upon the path. Wan Qiyuan explained, and after saying that, he suddenly fell to one knee on the ground.
"What are you doing. β
"The last general was worried that the enemy army would flee early, so he did not have time to explain to the adults, so he mobilized the iron cavalry under the battalion without authorization, and made a detour to the rear of the enemy's camp to block the way, and at this moment, they should have arrived almost there. β
"I see. Ye Shikai sighed and patted him lightly on the shoulder, "Okay, you are also thinking about the overall situation, I won't blame you, if the cavalry team can intercept the enemy army, I will take credit for you." β
"Thank you, sir. β
"By the way, you go and call Shangguan Jian back. β
"Wow. β
............................................................
Night.
"General, why did you withdraw our troops and let us all withdraw. β
"Yes, General, the brothers have fought hard for a day, and you will soon be able to take the outer wall. β
Ye Shikai's barracks were crowded with generals, all of whom were covered in blood, and kept complaining, and after a fierce battle until the evening, he asked the sergeant Ming Jin to withdraw his troops, and several red-eyed commanders and five hundred lords were even "pulled" off the battlefield by the guards.
Man Cang sat alone in the corner, not saying a word, he didn't want to complain, but he ...... He was so tired that he had two knife wounds and an arrow wound in his body, and when he was pulled down by the guards, he couldn't tell which of the enemy's blood was on his body and which was his own shed......
"I just got the news that there is a small path at the back of the camp that can be used to escape. Ye Shikai said lightly, Wan Qianyuan's news was enough to change the entire situation, and Ye Shikai had to readjust his plan.
"What, General, what then. β
"Wan Qiyuan has already led the cavalry team to intercept it, and I am afraid that if you fight to the death today, you will force them to flee in advance. Ye Shikai explained.
"This ......" The generals looked at each other, but they were helpless, they were just unwilling to fight for a day, but in exchange for such a result.
"How many casualties of our troops. Ye Shikai asked.
"More than 800 were killed, more than 500 were wounded, and the enemy was killed and wounded more than 2,000. Shangguan Jian reported.
"Bury the brothers who died in battle, and send the wounded brothers to the rear for treatment. Ye Shikai commanded.
"Wow. β
In fact, Ye Shikai asked everyone to retreat, but he was also unwilling from the bottom of his heart, not to mention the loss of morale, he paid the price of thousands of people, and he had not yet taken the camp, which was unacceptable, especially the several generals with a hot temperament, and one point, the most important thing to attack the village was to fight in one go, if it was another half an hour, they would be able to break through the outer wall, but if they withdrew now, it would be equivalent to giving the rebels a chance to breathe, and when they attacked again tomorrow, they would have to make great efforts to break through the outer wall, so that they would lose the lives of more sergeantsγ
