Chapter 680: The Momentum of the Right Path
Xie Haoran, who has always been radical/aggressive, would choose to retreat in this situation, which was really a bit unexpected for Zhu Yong. And the generals on the Great Song side were even more surprised, but before they could react, Xie Haoran sent them back with sincerity.
"Chase!"
When it came to the realm of Yu Zhuyong, it was naturally impossible to be stunned because of this small change, but he didn't really intend to pursue, after the order was issued, he rarely commanded the actions of various troops, and the smart officers understood what he meant, and acted unhurriedly.
This was indeed the time to pursue the Song army, but they were not in a hurry, and they did not need to be in a hurry.
One side was careless, the other side went all out, and in the end, the Song army paid a negligible loss and retreated to the city, but the doubts in everyone's hearts immediately erupted.
In other words, it was the "brave fighters" like Wen Tianxiang who protested.
"We can still fight, why not keep fighting!"
"Yes, we still have Lord Xinlan, why don't we keep fighting. ”
Of course, they didn't dare to question Xie Haoran directly, but surrounded the senior officers, because with Wen Tianxiang's support, the senior officers couldn't do anything.
Moreover, they agree with this statement in their hearts.
Yi Zhuyong hurt Xie Haoran with all his might, but they had Xinlan, Xie Haoran only needed to retreat to the Chinese army to heal for a while, but he didn't do it, and he still didn't believe them in the end.
At the same time, they also maliciously speculated that Xie Haoran was usually used to being strong, but now he was frightened as soon as he was a little weak.
But how it is, they don't care.
Of course, Xie Haoran didn't care about the soldiers' doubts, but just subdued Wen Tianxiang, who reacted fiercely.
"Why, you guy......"
"Brother Haoran's injury is not so easy to heal. Xinlan explained, "I'm just a real person, and I need time to heal. ”
"Even so, I can fight. ”
This is a problem in the battle of the army, at first glance it is still the commander alone, but if the troops are not integrated enough, or fall into a melee situation, how to distribute the magic of each unit, how much to draw themselves, is a knowledge.
Xie Haoran's army is generally ninety percent magic to support him, so Wen Tianxiang may not have much magic power even as a deputy general, while the situation of the Wei army generals is better and the number is more, so Wen Tianxiang was beaten by the other party in the face before, and there are reasons other than strength.
Now Wen Tianxiang's intention was obviously to let Xie Haoran transfer the magic power to him after he was injured, but Xie Haoran only smiled.
"Now you, you can't do it. ”
If others were here, they would definitely think that Xie Haoran was satirizing Wen Tianxiang, but Wen Tianxiang didn't care at all, and of course he didn't say that he would stop there.
"How do you know if you don't try, he has already spent most of his battle with you......"
"Senior Tianxiang, that Zhu Yong didn't draw too much shared magic. ”
"How is that possible?"
"His inner heaven and earth is already at the level of a small universe, and there is nothing impossible. Xie Haoran said.
The inner heaven and earth is the subspace that you carry with you, the more advanced human cosmic furnace, most of the opponents you have encountered before have not made much achievements in the construction of the inner heaven and earth, and it is possible to use the huge magic power of the inner heaven and earth to fight, but in the first face, he and Yue Jianghong died together.
This was the first time they had faced a regular Zhu Yong, with powerful magical powers, star dreams, grandmaster-level skills, and mature inner heaven and earth.
It's simply impeccable.
"One hundred thousand, he only used the magic power of one hundred thousand soldiers to cast the 'Cosmic Deep Cold'. Xie Haoran said.
The rest can be known without explanation, this is the first time in a long time that Xie Haoran has failed so miserably in a situation of equal forces.
If the other party used the magic power of 200,000 soldiers, Xie Haoran might try it.
Wen Tianxiang stopped protesting, but he noticed that Xie Haoran was not much frustrated, and Xie Haoran's next order made his eyes almost fall.
"Prepare to abandon the city. ”
……
As soon as he said it, Xie Haoran was not afraid to sit on the name of what he was afraid of, so he led his troops to abandon the city that night.
"Sure enough, as Lord Zhu expected, I've been waiting here for a long time!"
Xinlan quickly spread the word to everyone:
"Bluffing, the other side doesn't have many troops, we can force our way through. ”
Yi Zhuyong is not an all-knowing and all-powerful god, Xie Haoran held the city for a while, waited for reinforcements or abandoned the city, he couldn't be sure, if it was before, he would guess that he would come out to fight with him after a little cultivation, but during the day Xie Haoran proved that he was different from the past with his actions. Therefore, he sent a small number of troops to ambush on the east and west sides, and led the main force himself to defend the north alone.
The siege cannot be completely besieged, this is common sense, there is nothing to say, and giving up the south is determined by the strategy of the Wei army, but Xie Haoran's choice determines the future direction.
Yes, it's not a dead end, but it's a defeat for Song Jun, unless-
"Report, the Song army has broken through to the east!"
Yu Zhuyong quickly stood up, with respect and joy.
"Okay, it's worthy of being a swordsman, if you can't win, you'd rather die! Catch up and let the myth of Song come to an end!"
……
Because Yi Zhuyong gave the generals the right to play freely, so under the condition of ensuring that the news had been delivered, the generals from the east came out to fight for a while, although they could not intercept Xie Haoran's troops.
And Xie Haoran persuaded his subordinates to try to keep Yingzhou City, but most people thought he was making excuses.
Yi Zhuyong is here, Xie Xuan is guarding Yingzhou City with more than 100,000 soldiers, how can there be anything.
On the contrary, they abandoned Runan so easily, and abandoned Runan, where there were still people, and the soldiers were very dissatisfied in their hearts.
But the frustration quickly vanished.
From Runan to Yingzhou, even if the map was expanded a hundred times, it would only take less than a day for them, but they were only halfway through the road when they encountered a remnant army.
The remnants of the army dressed in the costumes of the Song army.
"Don't go over...... Lord Xie Xuan was defeated, and Yingzhou City was also breached!"
Some people flew into a rage on the spot.
"How is it possible, you must be a spy!"
"You are justifying your desertion!"
The remnant generals fell to their knees and burst into tears.
"I can't believe it, but we really lost, lost to them...... Why is it so strong, why is it not the main force that is so strong!"
Xie Xuan, as the third in line of strength of the Xie family, is still a strong man in the name of his ability to command troops, how can people imagine that he can only hold Yingzhou City for a little more than a day with more than 100,000 soldiers, but this is the case.
Yes, Xie Xuan's ability is very good in the Great Song Dynasty, but they forgot something.
Their enemies, the group of Yuwen Otters, were the highest peak of the Wei State, and they were the former Eight Pillar Kingdoms equivalent to the Eight Kings.
This has been shown in the intelligence for a long time, but most people will laugh it off.
"I'm comparing myself to wind music!"
This arrogance, even the generals of the Song State is no exception.
Yes, at the beginning, the Eight Pillars Kingdom was exhausted and could not resist Chen Duyun's 7,000 people going south, so many people felt that the Eight Pillars Kingdom was nothing more than that, just an ordinary powerhouse.
It's just the Qing Kingdom, Goryeo, Sus, and Western Xiongnu, who have been defeated countless times by them.
But they were wrong.
Then there was the continuous victory, the continuous victory that followed Xie Haoran made them unable to appreciate the strength of the enemy, so much so that they could even despise the Duke of Ice Dragon and the wings of the Jin Kingdom.
They felt that they had rated Zhu Yong high enough, but their standards were low from the start.
And the enemy, from the very beginning, was far stronger than they imagined.
There is only one pillar country, and Xie Xuan can still successfully complete the task.
But the enemy is six characters with the level of the pillar country, led by Yuwen Otter.
It is true that defense is what Yuwen Otter and Wei Xiaokuan are good at, but it does not mean that they will not attack, it does not mean that fierce generals like He Ba and Hou Mochen will not attack, if you look closely at the battle process, there is something more surprising.
Yu Sijing, one of the former Eight Pillar Kingdoms, as a native of Wei, defeated the Song people with the amazing "Sun Tzu's Art of War" series of stunts.
The stunt has the original author's bonus, but there is no bonus to the country or civilization to which the original author belongs, Rao is like this, how many people who aim to lead the army will learn it, not to mention Xie Xuan.
But Xie Xuan was defeated, defeated at the hands of foreigners, and was completely defeated in the military division's stunts, so he could only try his best to save part of his troops from retreating.
And Yuwen Otter, who took the city, only left Wei Xiaokuan, who was good at guarding, and killed the four generals of the former Eight Pillars State - now known as the "Five Dragons of the Western Wei Dynasty".
Yes, it is still Zhu Yong's familiar routine, 250,000 soldiers to annihilate Xie Haoran? is not enough, so he dispatched a total of 400,000 troops, with a large number of excellent generals, and the right way of the strong to defeat the weak in the right way of war.
It's not fair?
Perhaps, but Wei can't give up this advantage to fight you fairly.
This is war.
This is the war of one nation and one theater of war.
Of course, it's also possible -
This is only a war of one country and one man.
