Chapter 15: The Defeat

I exercised in the tent for a while, but the sword qi was not sensed for a long time, Shi Cundao saw that my expression was wrong, and hurriedly asked what was wrong.

I was busy for a while before I felt that my dantian was gradually wrapped in sword qi, and I straightened up and said, "It's nothing, the sword qi seems to be a little sluggish recently." ”

Shi Cun said with a sad face: "This is natural, you frequently use sword qi but never see you practice, the sword qi is damaged but not increased, this is like a young master who is extremely rich, he only knows how to spend money and enjoy himself but does not know how to operate, and one day he will sit and eat nothing." ”

I laughed and said, "Isn't that just right for me?" ”

Shi Cundao sighed and said: "It's a pity that the old man is pretentious, and he is complacent at the level of the late stage of the sword master, and he can't help you at all." ”

I could only say casually: "I'll talk about this later, I'll go to the front of the battle first." When I came to the tent, one of my hands had already floated into the air, and Zhang Shilei and the others suddenly collapsed and said: "Fifth young master, is it appropriate for you to be like this?" ”

I smiled and said, "There is no hurry to make meritorious service for a while, sooner or later it will be useful to you." "After saying that, I swept towards the front line of the two armies, and at this time the sky was full of bright lights, the old lights fell or flew and lost their effectiveness, and new lights were constantly rising, and Miao Miao was as beautiful and magnificent as a thumbnail of the Milky Way.

I looked at my feet, and saw that the soldiers on both sides had come into contact with each other, and the long battle line was boundless, at the beginning of the war, the soldiers of the Honglie Empire refused to take a step back, and Hegis was in a low place, and he was never afraid to fight, so the whole front was a brush, like a huge long knife with a blade, the two countries had temporary small victories in different places from time to time, and there was a sudden advance of the regional surname, which made this long knife look majestic and swaying, I felt dizzy after watching it for a while, and my heart was cold, and I flew towards the sky above the Heggis army, Hopefully, they will be able to find their command center, but this battle of a million men is completely different from the last time, and the soldiers of Hagis continue to rush towards the rock-solid Honglie camp like a waterfall, but there is nothing different in the army in the army, and it is no less difficult to find three people in a million than to find three single dormitories in a city without coordinates...... I flew farther and farther away, unconsciously out of the range of the light of the lantern, and saw a black tide surging at the edge of the Black Forest in the distance, at first I thought it was the mist of the night, but then I was shocked to find that it was countless Black Gis soldiers who were still massively gathering and running eastward, I lowered the height and casually split out two sword qi, like making two lines on a thick black hair, but soon it was flooded by the people and horses later, and finally no trace was ...... The most surprising thing to me is that the Hegis people obviously saw me attacking them above their heads, but all the soldiers still moved forward silently as if they were blind, in the surging black tide, not to mention the headquarters, the flags were all simple, I smiled bitterly, it seems that the Hegis these days of rest are not for anything else, but specially arranged for me, not only the main general is hiding, it seems that even the soldiers have been ordered, even if they see someone above their heads, they will never make a noise, this is a stupid method, But it's also a proven method, I can't find the enemy's command center, and even if I kill a lot, it's only a conventional weapon.

Looking down from above, you can see that the soldiers of Hegis are surging like bloodthirsty ants to the Honglie camp, the battlefield of millions of people is like a river flowing into the lake and the sea, and gradually can no longer distinguish the boundary, below is a sea of soldiers, in such a big chaos, the local war between the two sides is also changing all the time, some are retreating, some are enterprising, and maybe less than 20 meters next to a small group of Hejis soldiers who are pursuing the victory, there is a Hong martyr soldier who also won a partial victory, The two armies are pushing and shoving on the limited border line, and the factors for the victory of this local war are also very subtle, perhaps because a soldier is particularly brave in battle, or maybe a commander leads the army in a good way, I found that as the commander of this kind of war situation, it is actually good to say that it is good to be good and good to fight, to this extent, you just need to press the soldiers, and you don't have to worry about anything else, because there are many things that are not controllable by people, the wind direction on the battlefield, the climate, Even a soldier's expression, intentionally or unintentionally, can determine victory or defeat in a land, and individual soldier quality and tactical coordination are very important but not critical, because fighting a war actually requires luck, so there is a poem that reads:

Because an iron nail is broken, a horseshoe is broken, a horse's shoe is broken, a knight is damaged, a knight is lost, a war is lost, a country is lost, this poem is wonderful, whether viewed from the viewpoint of Marxist materialism or Western idealism, it can be explained, from quantitative change to qualitative change, not the wind moving, not the sail, the benevolent heart...... It can be seen that foreigners love to write these things that the gods talk about - I flew in the sky for more than a dozen times but felt that I didn't know where to start, just as no matter how sharp the scalpel was, it couldn't deal with the cancer cells that had spread, I flew back to the Honglie camp and landed beside Shi Cundao, Shi Cundao asked: "What?" ”

I breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The whole army of Hegis does not raise the flag, and I can't find those three people." ”

Shi Cundao was not surprised, and said with a slight smile: "Wulang doesn't have to be discouraged, the so-called invincible wind can make the arrogant Heijisyan die and the main general hide, your role has already been played, no wonder I see that their military command is not effective, presumably this is the reason." ”

I said, "So, we can win this battle?" ”

Shi Cun said: "No one can say whether he can win or not, Heggis has a characteristic of using soldiers - as long as the number of people exceeds the other party, he will swarm up, and all the tactics of war are left behind." ”

I said, "I don't understand, but isn't this kind of play a mess?" ”

Shi Cun said: "Indeed, if any country dares to use this method except for Hejis, the result will be the annihilation of the whole army, and what Hegis relies on is the courage of the soldiers, even if no one supervises the battle, everyone is competing for the first, which is really a headache." ”

I wondered, "Why is that?" ”

Shi Cun said: "Hejis's military merits are extremely rewarded, if an ordinary soldier performs well, it is possible to get a fief of hundreds of households and thousands of households after a battle, and the low-level officers in their army are frequently replaced, as long as they are not careful, they will be replaced by backward soldiers, so that everyone is in danger and can fight hard." ”

I said, "Shouldn't we do that too?" ”

Shi Cun said: "Every country has its own national conditions, most of the land of Hegis is located in the bitter cold, and the inhabitants are fierce and warlike by nature - if I have so many warriors, maybe I will also think about unifying the continent." As he spoke, he couldn't help but show a look of envy on his face.

I was speechless, if my current identity wasn't for his grandson, he would have to smoke him, the world would be messed up by this kind of person, in essence, Shi Cundao and the emperor of Heggis are actually no different, but Ma Jiyue treats fighting as a game and Shi Cundao has ambitions, if one day the strength is reversed, don't think that Shi Cundao will drive the army to the land of Hegis without hesitation, as long as there is one such person in the world, it will never be truly peaceful.

Shi Cundao thought I was tired when he saw that I didn't speak, and said, "You go down to rest first, there will be no result before dawn in this battle." ”

I found a secluded place to sit on the ground, and Zhang Shilei and others consciously formed two circles around me to block the wind for me, and I was not used to saying, "Sit down." ”

Zhang Shilei leaned in front of me with a smile and said, "Fifth Young Master, you have been out of the limelight these days, when will you bring us with your majesty?" It's also good for the rabbit cubs of Heggis to know the means of knowing our masters. "I can understand what he said, although Zhang Shilei and these people are not thousands of choices, but they are all elites in the army, all of them are strong in martial arts, and those who are waiting for the chiefs are different. I promoted them all to officers in one sentence, and these upright men were both happy and a little awkward, not wanting people to think that they had stained my light for nothing, or hoping to get ahead on the battlefield.

I smiled and said, "What's so powerful about killing?" ”

…… The shouting and killing sound in front of the position flickered far and near, the battalion probe horse herald shuttled back and forth, Shi Cundao sat in the Chinese army, and constantly issued orders according to the latest battle report, at this time the farthest battlefield from us was dozens of miles away, but the two sides of Heihong are like two giants fighting in drama, in addition to fighting luck and strength, in fact, it is still the wit of the two bosses, Shi Cundao is the brain of this giant, the battle report is good and bad, the old man has a long beard fluttering and always commands quietly, in fact, I also understand, At this moment, the soldiers don't need the marshal to come up with how subtle tactics they can immediately turn things around, it is more of a psychological need, so that they know that their commander is with them, so many of the orders issued by Shi Cundao sound like nonsense.

From midnight to dawn, and then to the rising of the morning star, the shouting and killing in front of him has not weakened, but I vaguely heard from Shi Cundao's recent orders that he has the intention of shrinking his troops, and when he asked, Shi Cundao said: "Hegis is menacing, the number is twice as large as ours, and then it is not good for us to meet the situation like this, and millions of people are docked, the space is cramped, and the geographical advantage is not so obvious, I told our people to retreat, that is, to let the bow that has already shot an arrow grow again, and give them a hard time, In short, before we retreat, let Haggis greatly lose a number of generals. ”

I said, "Huh? Are we going to retreat? ”

Shi Cun said: "Yes, there is no advantage to take advantage of if we continue to fight, your father is right, Hagis is in a hurry to fight with us, there must be a logistical problem, we will not fulfill their wishes, and when it gets dark, Hegis will almost attack, and then we will accept it when we see it." ”

I asked, "So where do we retreat?" ”

Before Shi Cundao could speak, suddenly an army reported to duty, and immediately someone said in a panic: "Marshal, General Shi Dong's right army has had a large-scale rout, and General Shi can't hold the order, so he asks the marshal for help." ”

Shi Cundao's eyebrows suddenly rose, and he said angrily: "How can this be? ”

Immediately, the man said: "At first, the brothers fought quite beautifully, and under the leadership of General Shi, they advanced 15 miles in the direction of Hejis, but just when everyone was exhausted, a group of cavalry rushed up, and they were too numerous for the brothers to support it." ”

Shi Cundao snorted and said: "Can a sentence that can't be supported cover up the guilt of escaping from the battle-I'll talk about this later, what happened to the Right Route Army now?" ”

The soldier said, "General Shi has ordered people to form several lines of defense, but ...... But ......"

"But how?"

"But our men are now crushed in one blow, and Haggis's cavalry has penetrated deeply into our army, and then the troops have divided into two ways to continue the pursuit, all the way to our Chinese army!"

Shi Cundao became even more angry and said: "Such a fast speed, such a big courage, do you know who is in command of this cavalry?" ”

"Look at the flag, it should be Qin Yiwu."

Shi Cundao stroked his beard and said, "Qin Yiwu? This person is so bold at such a young age, does the old man underestimate him? ”

The soldier hurriedly said: "Marshal, the right general is in a hurry, and I also ask the marshal to support." ”

Shi Cundao said with a gloomy face: "Xuan Zhide! ”

A general immediately stepped forward and said, "The last general!" ”

Shi Cun said: "You lead 5,000 men and horses to intercept the pursuers from the back road!" ”

Xu Zhide was stunned and said: "5000? He smiled bitterly, "Marshal, it's not that the last general is greedy for life and afraid of death, but 5,000 men and horses may be difficult to use, if you can't stop it at that time, the life and death of the last general is small, and the consequences of letting the enemy rush behind us are unimaginable!" "To be able to beat Shi Dong's 150,000 army to the point of losing his armor, the other party must have at least 50,000 people, and now Shi Cundao gives him 5,000 people, saying that it is "in case" that it can't be stopped, but it is also a euphemism, and everyone understands that it is 10,000 can't be done.

Shi Cundao's eyes widened: "Who told you to send you to your death to intercept the enemy army?" I want you to use these 5,000 people to drive all those things that are on the verge of collapse to the battlefield, and then say that I said, those who retreat die! ”

Xuan Zhide was stunned and said loudly: "Understood! ”

After Shi Cundao arranged these, he immediately named the names of the two generals, and asked them to lead 30,000 horses and horses to intercept Qin Yiwu's other cavalry, this matter is more urgent, we were originally condescending, and now the right army is defeated, Qin Yiwu's people rushed to the high ground, and the enemy situation appeared out of thin air on his side, if Qin Yiwu went around to the rear of the Honglie army, it would be equivalent to being surrounded on three sides, and the war was changing rapidly.

I said to Shi Cundao: "Grandpa, I want to meet this Qin Yiwu, if I really run into him, I will end up with him." ”

Shi Cundao waved his hand and said, "He must have guarded against your move." ”

I said, "So what do we do now?" ”

Shi Cun said: "As long as your third uncle resists, Qin Yiwu's strange soldiers will become a lonely army, and when the time comes, they will become meat sent to our mouths, and we can eat it however we want." ”

I said in a trance: "I don't know if the third uncle can withstand it." ”

Shi Cundao let out a long sigh and said, "Speaking of combat bravery, we Honglie people are not as far away as Hejis. Although your third uncle's troops are all recruits, I never expected to be so vulnerable. ”

I'm sorry that everyone stopped for so long, in fact, every time I stopped for more days, it was like this: I couldn't write it today, so I wanted to write a little more tomorrow to make up for it, and I said don't ask for leave or anything, and then I couldn't write it the next day, so I wanted to change it the day after tomorrow, just piling up one day at a time, reaching an outrageous point. As the saying goes, "Doro, Doro, tomorrow will be the nest." "When the crow laughed at the pig's black, a certain flower was also disdainful of the cold bird, and now he is introspective, and he can't help but burst into tears......
