Chapter 429: General Hu retreated
Cai Xide was timid for the first time, and his heart was bottomless, and in the face of the raging Tang army, he actually lost his belief in victory, which had never been seen before. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Retreat!"
These two words finally came out of his mouth gently, and although the voice was not loud, it seemed to hit the drum with a thousand powers, and he was dizzy.
However, it is still not possible to retreat when the battle is imminent, and in any case, it must be repelled after the flanking attack of **, otherwise the retreat may turn into a rout. Cai Xide, who has been in battle for a long time, knows the stakes well, and even if he withdraws his troops, he can't simply leave.
In the end, Cai Xide's desire to win was completely disappointed, and the pain in his body made him suffer both physical and mental torture, and his pessimism also suppressed his previous calm self-confidence.
After deciding on the strategy of withdrawing troops, Cai Xide's mind was clear again.
"Hurry up and repair the gate, and only defend and not attack the strange soldiers of Tongluobu. Concentrate all your efforts to defeat the Tang army that rushed out of the city of Jiangxian County. ”
The combat power of the Tongluo cavalry is amazing and the reputation is outstanding, and when Cai Xide chose the direction of the main attack, he naturally chose the Tang army that rushed out of Jiangxian County.
At this time, there were nearly 20,000 Yan soldiers gathered outside the gate on the side of Jiangxian County, and the Tang army that went out to fight was only 5,000.
However, he obviously underestimated the combat effectiveness of this Tang army, and after the kind of weapon that would explode loudly and powerfully, it was still a brave army that dared to attack the Yan army head-on. No matter what the cost is, he must repel this Tang army in a short time, otherwise there will be no way to talk about the plan thereafter.
Cai Xide stood high in the camp and observed the battlefield, and as the battle went up and down, his face became more and more gloomy.
Tang Jun's will to fight far exceeded his expectations, and this was not a good thing, because it turned out that Tang Jun, who was sitting in Jiangxian County, had been hiding his true strength.
On the one hand, he ordered the newly annexed army to counterattack, and on the other hand, he ordered his descendants to break away from the battle and concentrate on the left side of the military camp in the west of the county seat. In doing so, he was confusing not only the Tang army, but also the newly attached army as life-fillers.
Because, Cai Xide still needs those people to drag the Tang army and the cavalry of the Tongluo department, so that his descendants can calmly withdraw after dark.
The sharp pain in his chest made Cai Xide sweat coldly, but when this battle, he could only hold on, and now no one could help him, the only way was to grit his teeth and hold on, survive this hurdle, and when he healed his injuries and made a comeback, he would definitely make Qin Jin's son regret giving birth to his mother's fetus.
"General, we have suffered heavy losses, quickly, we can't hold it anymore!"
A wail came from behind him, and Cai Xide turned his head with difficulty, but he sneered in return.
"There is only a death battle in the army, if you are greedy for life and afraid of death, it is better to die now!"
Cai Xide couldn't tolerate this idiot disturbing the morale of the army, and before the words fell, his entourage drew his sword and slashed, a bloody human head rolled to the ground, and the dark red blood in the cavity splashed several feet away, and the people who didn't have time to dodge were sprayed all over their faces.
"If there are any more people who confuse the hearts of the army, this is the end!"
Cai Xide just saw clearly that if it was just a confrontation between the two armies, those newly attached armies might not have fought so badly, mainly because of the kind of things that would bloom and explode projected by the Tang army's stone cannons, not to mention the huge power, the deafening sound was still the main reason for the disheartening of the Yan army.
The death of the interceding lieutenant caused the Yan army to burst out with amazing combat power again, and pounced on the Tang army that came from the array.
……
At the head of Jiangxian County, Qin Jin looked at the battlefield intently, the effect of the pincer attack was not as expected to be a single blow, although the thunderbolt cannon thrown by the stone cannon caused a lot of casualties, but as long as the stone cannon stopped transmitting the thunderbolt cannon, the Yan army could always rush up tenaciously.
"Report, Captain Wuhu sent a message into the city, and just found out that the Yan army had elite cavalry coming from the north to the south, so he went north to block it. ”
Qin Jin was stunned for a moment, Wuhu Huaizhong's Tongluo Strange Soldiers were the protagonists of internal and external attacks, and it would be difficult to be effective if only the five thousand Shenwu troops led by Wang Qi were effective.
Looking at Pei Jing's department outside the city and fighting with the Yan army, Qin Jin only felt that his heart was like a galloping horse, but there was nowhere to vent, this was like playing chess, obviously seeing that victory was imminent, but after all, it was half a step slower, and it was always difficult to achieve the expected effect.
At this time, the entourage, who had been following Qin Jin and covering his face with a mask, took a few steps forward and said to Qin Jin in a low voice:
"Envoy, I humbly think that something unknown must have happened in Cai Xide's camp!"
Qin Jin looked at the mask entourage in surprise, this person was the general Huang Changde, he was Cai Xide's old department, and what he said was naturally not light.
However, he is also not biased.
"How so?"
"The Yan army's siege was frustrated, and the first priority should be to shrink its forces, and then counterattack according to the camp. As long as you stabilize your position, it is not difficult to find out that the envoy is bluffing......"
"Dog thief nonsense!"
Huang Changde's words were only halfway through, and he was immediately stopped by Qin Jin's entourage.
Huang Changde's eyes peeking out of the hole in the mask showed a little grievance, and he looked at Qin Jin.
Qin Jin waved his hand and said, "It's okay to say it directly, Qin is indeed bluffing!"
While saying this, Qin Jin was also a little surprised, he had always thought that Huang Changde was a person with a full stomach and only knew flattery, but now it seems that this is not the case, at least he can see that he is bluffing, which is not simple.
With Qin Jin's permission, Huang Changde continued what he had just said:
"But the Cai thief didn't do this, but instead fought back in a situation where the enemy's situation was unknown, completely ignoring the virtual and real possibilities of the suspicious soldiers everywhere, isn't this unusually strange?"
In the face of Huang Changde's analysis, Qin Jin was noncommittal, and only asked rhetorically:
"Where's the weirdness?"
Huang Changde raised his hand and slapped his thigh, shook his head with a mask and said:
"Let Jun Mingjian, Cai Thief's ability is far above the lowly, and the humble can see it, why can't the Cai thief see it? Inferring from the inferiority, there must have been an accident in the Cai Thief's camp, which affected the judgment!"
The analysis is reasonable, but it is not without flaws, Qin Jin asked again:
"What if Cai Xide did it on purpose?"
Huang Changde shook his head.
"It's impossible! Doing so won't do him any good, but will cost him a lot!"
Speaking of this, Huang Changde was suddenly stunned, and then his face was happy, and he hurriedly said:
"Congratulations, congratulations!"
Qin Jin felt inexplicable and asked:
"What's the joy of?"
"Cai Thief is withdrawing!"
"Withdrawal?"
Qin Jin was surprised, he couldn't have guessed that a stubborn Cai Xide would actually withdraw his troops under such circumstances.
"Exactly! His Majesty has led the troops with Cai Thief for many years, and this kind of counterattack at any cost is to use the newly attached army as a life-filling ghost to scare away the Shenwu Army, and then he will take his descendants to evacuate at night. ”
When he first heard this statement, Qin Jin felt that it was a bit absurd, could it be that the newly attached army was not the Yan army? Would Cai Xide really use this means to preserve his strength? But this is not in line with Cai Xide's nature, what is it that makes Cai Xide, who has always been confident, timid?
Qin Jin thought secretly, but saw that Huang Changde was also shaking his masked head.
"Strange, strange! Cai Thief has never been so out of shape, what happened. ”
Looking at Huang Changde's serious thinking, Qin Jin secretly commented on this person.
Huang Changde is not a straw bag fool, but his mind is not firm enough, if he is allowed to lead the army alone, it is not human. On the contrary, if Counselor Huang Changde is in charge of military affairs, it is quite appropriate to give advice. It can be seen that Cai Xide has the wisdom to know people, but he has no way to use people.
It was definitely a big failure for Cai Xide to put Huang Changde in charge of leading the army.
However, it was this big failure that gave the Shenwu Army a chance.
"Envoy, humble suggestion, feign defeat and withdraw troops! Then set up an ambush in the place where Cai thieves must pass, and only wait for him to withdraw his troops and pass by, then ......"
At the same time, Huang Changde used his hand as a knife and made a chopping shape.
This is indeed a poisonous plan, Huang Changde is so unrighteous to the old master, he is really an out-and-out villain, but Qin Jin only looks at talent at this time, as long as he puts it in the right position, it will play a sufficient role.
Qin Jinyu weighed it in his heart, and felt that Huang Changde's suggestion might not be a try, and now Wuhu Huaizhong went to intercept the Yan cavalry from the north, and it was difficult to form the power of internal and external attacks with only Wang Qi's 5,000 people, so it was better to accept it at this time, and then set up an ambush halfway to encircle and annihilate Cai Xide.
"Withdraw your troops!"
As soon as the two words came out, the flag bearer waved the flag and gave an order, ordering the Shenwu army outside the city to break away from the fierce battle.
There was another reason why Qin Jin gave the order to withdraw his troops, that is, to avoid a head-on duel as much as possible in order to cause a large number of casualties. It is not easy for the Shenwu Army to train a qualified soldier, it takes at least half a year of effort, and one more death is equivalent to half a year before the gap can be filled.
Therefore, whenever there is an opportunity to outwit it, Qin Jin will never be able to defeat it.
……
"The Tang army has withdrawn, and the general will take a look....... The Tang army withdrew ......"
Cai Xide clutched his chest tightly, and too much activity still made the broken bones painful, but as the commander of the first army, he must not fall down at this time.
Seeing that the Tang army was defeated and withdrew, Cai Xide finally secretly sighed, but he did not give the order to withdraw the troops, but ordered the newly attached army to pursue at the end.
Captain Li Jinzhong led the cavalry south to reinforce and encountered the cavalry of the Tang Army halfway!"
After hearing this, Cai Xide sighed, only then did he know why the cavalry of the Tongluo Department stopped attacking the Chinese army, it turned out that Li Jinzhong had returned, and Li Jinzhong came back at the right time.
He has great expectations for Li Jinzhong, this son was born in the Khitan, and the Khitan cavalry led by him is also among the best in the Yan army, and it is not inferior to the Tongluo Department!
