Chapter 698: Retreat and retreat

Order!

All the trebuchets began to work.

Stone bullets fell one after another.

The boom continued.

Chu Yueguo's former camp was suddenly smashed.

One by one, the tents were destroyed.

The fence of the front camp was also smashed.

The front camp gate didn't last a few times before it collapsed.

It's too fast, it's too powerful.

The soldiers of Chu Yue Kingdom all gasped.

When attacking Wancheng, although Yijing was killed by a trebuchet.

But at that time, the power displayed was far less intuitive and sharp than it is now.

After all, the projection range is very wide.

The striking surface is too wide.

The effect is naturally almost meaningless.

But the noodles are different.

Concentrated bombardment.

"Dashuai, with such a weapon, our other camps won't last long!" Sun Miao pumped her throat.

I was a little discouraged by the scriptures in my heart.

You can't stop such a weapon.

Unless there is a frontal field battle, destroy the army of the Great Zhou.

Jing Hong didn't speak, closed his eyes, and thought about it for a long time.

Then he said, "What do you have a good idea?" ”

Sun Miao said: "Marshal, why don't we retreat, and retreat as advance."

We will withdraw tonight, and then set up an ambush halfway, leading the Great Zhou cavalry to chase after us, and set up more stumbling ropes on the road. As long as we can destroy the Great Zhou cavalry, we will have room for maneuver on the Nanyang battlefield below! ”

Ordnance is always just a foreign object.

It's not invincible.

The greatest threat of the Great Zhou to the Chu Yue Kingdom was the cavalry.

Coming and going like the wind, it is too convenient to attack or retreat.

The Great Zhou army without cavalry could be defeated.

"Then do what you want!"

captured the front camp, and then Ye Qing continued to advance, and connected four Chu Yue State camps.

After dark, this is done.

Back to the big camp.

All the soldiers said that the Chu Yue army was not courageous.

Jing Hong has a false name.

There were 200,000 troops in the air, and they did not dare to fight in the field.

It's so enduring.

Ye Qing looked at Guo Jia and said, "Fengxiao, what do you think?" ”

"Your Majesty, I guess Jing Hong is going to run away, he doesn't want to use 200,000 troops to gamble on a battle with no chance of winning, because he really can't afford to lose, after all, if the 200,000 is folded again, the hinterland of Chu Yue Kingdom will really be empty!" Guo Jia analyzed:

"So there is a high probability that he will retreat, and he will also set up an ambush, waiting for our army to chase after him, and he will come to a counter-kill."

"It's the only best way for him to do it at the moment, and there's no better way to deal with it."

Now the congregation will not speak.

Chasing?

Ambush in the middle of the meeting!

I didn't chase them, so I let them run.

Ye Qing stared at the sand table and asked, "After our army crosses the river, can it be silent and not be discovered by the other party?" ”

"It's difficult, Jing Hong will definitely consider us going around to attack his rear, so this is exactly what he wants to see, if we send cavalry across the river, we will definitely be ambushed by him." Guo Jia reminded:

"This battle, fought so far, is all on the surface, and the two sides who play sneak attack or something don't have the conditions.

Playing with dignity is the theme of our next period of time! ”

Ye Qing thought for a while and said, "Zilong, you take five thousand cavalry to support Yuyang, and leave after dark."

Since there is no war in Wancheng, then stop fighting and let Jing Hong run.

Let him retreat to Thorn Sun. ”

"It's the lord, I'll arrange it!" Zhao Yun took the order, and then retreated to the side.

Guo Jia stared at Jianyang and said, "Your Majesty, you want Jing Hong to divide his troops and break through in each one."

The city of Thornyang is small, and no less than 200,000 troops are stationed, so the defenders in the city will not put too much, and as soon as Jing Hong retreats, the northern part of Nanyang will be completely exposed to the peak of our army.

Bowang, Duyang, Yexian and other places are all owned by our country. ”

"Nothing changes, let's take a look! None of us know for sure what will happen next. ”

…………

Jing Hong led the army and retreated all the way to Thorn Yang.

The army of 200,000 was divided into three parts by him.

50,000 Shouhe quietly ambushed in a certain mountain.

Just wait for the Great Zhou cavalry to cross the river and circle behind him, and then surround it.

There are still 150,000, it should be said that there are less than 150,000, only less than 120,000, and they retreated along the river to Jianyang, laying many ambushes.

I didn't wait for Wancheng Ye Qing and the others to pursue.

The cavalry of the Great Zhou did not even see a shadow.

"Ye Qing is really cautious enough, he didn't even come to chase after him." Sun Miao felt a little weak frustration.

Jing Hong patted him on the shoulder and said:

"Look at it, there are capable people in the Great Zhou, there are many wise and resourceful people, and our army has 200,000, so we withdrew.

They should be able to see the clues. ”

The army withdrew to Jianyang, and Jing Hong immediately contacted Qu Lang to see if the situation had opened up over there.

But soon there was bad news.

"Marshal, our General Qu...... Dead in battle! ”

The person who came with a crying voice, bowed his head and cried:

"Our army was flanked by the Great Thursday, routed and scattered, with no less than 50,000 dead and wounded, and only 10,000 were brought to Thornyang. The rest fled to the east bank of the river. ”

"What, Qu Lang ......" After Jing Hong listened, another mouthful of old blood spurted out and he fainted.

Even Sun Miao and the others were a little dizzy.

There are tens of thousands of troops gone.

This time the losses were just too much.

700,000 hits so far, half of them are gone.

Jing Hong doesn't vomit blood, they have to vomit blood too.

"Someone! Build a pontoon now! Sun Miao didn't wait for Jing Hong to wake up, and directly gave an order.

The generals below were stunned.

I was stunned for a moment.

Seeing Sun Miao's serious demeanor, someone turned around and walked out of the city hall.

When Jing Hong woke up, it was nightfall.

The successive blows made him feel sad, and the whole person aged sixteen or seventeen years old.

"Let the army prepare to withdraw to the east bank of the river, and the thorny sun cannot be defended for a long time!"

Sun Miao said: "The pontoon bridge is being erected, and it can be repaired before dawn!" ”

Hearing this, Jing Hong closed his eyes again with relief.

"You can arrange other things, send an urgent report to Jiangling, saying that the minister is incompetent, and he is unable to be qualified for the post of commander, I hope that His Majesty will send a more capable person to coordinate the war!"

"Don't be arrogant, another person may not be able to do as well as you!" Sun Miao persuaded:

"At this time, it is the time when the empire needs the marshal, and it is the time when the army needs the marshal, if the marshal can't cheer up, it will be a huge loss for our army and the empire."

"But...... Hey, I really can't think of how to deal with Ye Qing.

I have no more confidence, the future of the empire ...... Leave it to the young people! As he spoke, Jing Hong coughed up a mouthful of blood, and got up sideways to spit out a mouthful of blood.

It turned out that the high-spirited handsome man was gone.

My generation of generals of Chu Yue Kingdom has dimmed.

Sun Miao also had complicated thoughts.

Maybe it's time for the Sun family to make some changes.

As Jing Hong said, Chu Yue needs young people.

It's time for young people to get a chance.

It should be given more to those ...... Civilians.

The aristocratic monopoly of hereditary succession was conducive to the stability of the empire.

However, it is not conducive to discovering talents, and it is not conducive to the reuse of talents.

Chu Yueguo has no shortage of talents, what is lacking is only a channel for promotion.
