Chapter 148: The Great River Goes East
Qin Muyu said: "The enemy is definitely not as many as ours, and they don't have much advantage, they definitely want to sneak attack, but they were accidentally discovered by our side." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Understood, no wonder you were just about to give the order to go down and light the lamps of the camps!" Su Qian replied.
"Well, that's right, because we found their tracks first, so there's room for recovery. If we don't hurry up and light the lights in our tents, it won't be long before our tents will be burned by their rockets. So we immediately lit up the camp to let the enemy know that we had discovered their whereabouts and had entered a state of alert, and they could not sneak attack. In this way, the enemy will change their strategy again, because there is a river in front of our camp, and now it is on alert, and they will attack from the rear, and they will not have much advantage in using fire to attack. ”
Su Qian continued to ask, "What else is the Lord worried about?" ”
Qin Muyu said: "After they changed their strategy, we saw that there were scarce sparks moving towards us in the rear, but after traveling half the way, they suddenly retreated, what does this mean?" ”
"They're tempting us?"
"No, they're tempting our army. They guessed that when our army saw the sparse movement of Mars, I would immediately have the sentinels go and check on their reality. When we find that the horses at the torch place are outnumbered, we may immediately go and destroy them, but the horses at the torch place are only a bait set by the enemy, and if we rush forward, we will surely fall into the trap they have already buried on the way, and the gains outweigh the losses. ”
Su Qian began to ask nervously: "Then what should we do next, stand still?" ”
"It's impossible to stay put, and if we don't fall into their trap, they'll change their strategy again."
Su Qian was a little surprised, and asked suspiciously: "What do you mean, knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, and preferring to go to the tiger mountains, and taking soldiers and horses to deliberately fall into their ambush?" ”
"Of course not, you're going to see if all the boats we've prepared are in the river?"
Su Qian thought about it for a while, and immediately understood Qin Muyu's intentions, turned around and left.
If Qin Muyu does not obediently go to the ambush set by the enemy in the middle and bottom, then the enemy will immediately change the attack strategy again, once the strategy is changed, what will happen next, Qin Muyu immediately feels that something is wrong. Because on the other side of the river in front of her was Lin Xi's army guarding the gate of Chicheng; Behind her, I don't know how many enemy troops are hiding, and they will soon unite and attack Qin Muyu's army together.
Qin Muyu can't fight hard, although her men and horses can fight bloodily, but they don't have much chance of winning, so she can't take this risk.
Lin Xi watched everything outside the city from the high wall of Chicheng, and after seeing that the lights in Qin Muyu's camp tent were extinguished, she kept attacking the enemy troops behind her, but she didn't make any movement on the side of the Chicheng City Gate.
Lin Xi was a little hesitant, if the city gate was opened at this time, would he immediately introduce Qin Muyu's army and break into the city. Because Qin Muyu was attacked at both ends, when there was no other way, Qin Muyu would be impatient to capture Chicheng first.
Lin Xi watched the lights in Qin Muyu's tent go out, and there was no moonlight tonight, and it was pitch black on the opposite side, so he didn't know what Qin Muyu was doing, so he didn't dare to act rashly. He was thinking quickly in his mind, and suddenly, a spirit, he looked panicked and said, "Not good! ”
So Lin Xi immediately shouted: "Kaecheng fights!" ”
The gates were wide open, and from the gates poured out thousands of horses, some with guns and halberds, some with torches and bows and arrows, and some on horseback, moving swiftly towards the river.
And Qin Muyu's side, fortunately, when Qin Muyu was besieging Chicheng, she was afraid that the enemy would come to the rescue, so she made some preparations and built some emergency ships. Now all those boats are put into the river, just to escape smoothly, the river is from west to east, just enough to flow through Qingcheng on the east side.
Qin Muyu suddenly ordered to extinguish the lights in the camp tent, and it was pitch black all around, so that the other party didn't know what Qin Muyu was planning.
The situation was urgent, and Qin Muyu's army was dispatched in an orderly manner, some carrying boats into the river, some urgently carrying grain and grass to new ships, and some obeying Qin Muyu's orders, firing bows and torches at the enemy troops in the rear to slow down the enemy's attack.
Sure enough, when Lin Xi's army arrived on the bank of the river, through the light of the torches, he saw that Qin Muyu's army on the other bank had already stepped into the boat, sailed into the river, and went down the east.
However, due to the fact that Qin Muyu's army was really huge, after all, there were more than 100,000 people and horses, and the boat only contained 70,000 or 80,000 people and some grain and grass, and there were a large number of troops on the shore riding horses along the river to the east, so Lin Xi immediately pursued desperately on the other bank, and shot arrows at the boats that fell behind and were in the middle of the river, resulting in countless casualties among the troops walking in the river.
On the other side, General Xiao also chased after him, chasing and killing the army behind Qin Muyu on the other side of Lin Xi, and then carried out a thrilling and tragic battle, causing Qin Muyu's army to flee quickly on the shore also suffered countless casualties.
This battle lasted until dawn, Qin Muyu's army escaped from the tiger's mouth, and after throwing the Yelang army far away, they came to a mountain pass, which could only be passed from the river, so Qin Muyu ordered the water army to go first.
After the navy passed through the narrow mountain pass, they returned to meet the army, and passed in batches, although it was time-consuming and labor-intensive, but there was no other way.
When all the horses had bypassed a mountain, they came to an open flat land, went ashore, and rested. Counting the number of people, there are only 110,000 horses left outside the city, plus more than 20,000 people and horses sacrificed in the city, about 90,000 losses, which can be described as a serious loss, and it is the most heaviest loss since Qin Muyu led the troops.
The main reason why Qin Muyu chose to escape this time was that he didn't know how many men and horses General Xiao had brought with him, although he knew that the other party's men and horses were not as many as hers, but because she was attacked from both sides, she didn't dare to take risks. If she knew that the other party only had 100,000 horses, with Qin Muyu's experience, she would lead the whole army to fight the enemy in a big battle, and she had a great chance of winning. But suddenly encountered the enemy's night attack, she didn't have time to find out the reality of the other party, and she didn't know who the leader of the other party was, it was difficult to guess the opponent's combat psychology and what combat countermeasures there were.
Qin Muyu was heartbroken, standing on the shore, looking at the flowing water, the former emperor and princess of Chicheng, the eldest princess of Qin Yun, the dead soldiers, the suffering people, and tens of millions of undead...... In the blink of an eye, because of her miscalculation, she witnessed her powerlessness. Listening to the sound of running water, she felt a chill, and she was at a loss.
Su Qian stood far behind him, not daring to disturb Qin Muyu's solitary quiet, for fear that a careless accident would cause Qin Muyu to explode into intense emotions due to self-blame. (To be continued.) )
