Chapter 173: Retreat
Three days passed in a blink of an eye.
On this day, in the eastern suburbs of Chengdu, the flag is unfurled, covering the clouds and the sun.
More than 20,000 foot riders, including more than 15,000 Jingzhou elites, and another 5,000 Xiliang iron riders stand on the field.
The huge "Han" character battle flag flutters in the cold wind with the wind, and it does not fall!
At this moment, Liu Bei, the king of Hanzhong, rode in a car and came slowly under the escort of Chen Zhi, and Zhuge Liang, Fa Zheng and other important ministers also accompanied him.
Seeing this, Huang Quan, who was already strong and stubborn at this moment, and changed into a military uniform, couldn't help but immediately step forward with a sword and salute: "The last general will see the lord." ”
"Please also give a lecture in front of the main public front."
A table of etiquette!
Liu Bei also knew the truth of the speed of the soldiers, so he did not delay the time, so he went straight to the world and stepped forward slowly.
Half ringing.
Rushing straight into the front of tens of thousands of soldiers, Liu Bei couldn't help but say in a loud voice: "Soldiers, you are all the most loyal and righteous people of Gu Dahan, you are waiting for combat strength, Gu has no doubt!" ”
"Therefore, this time Sun Wu betrayed the alliance, intending to provoke us and other Han people and attack Jingzhou."
"But Jingzhou is the homeland of the soldiers, how can we let the Wu thief succeed?"
"No, no."
"Kill all the thieves."
In an instant, Liu Bei said a few words, and mobilized the morale of all the soldiers in the field.
In the blink of an eye, the cries of more than 10,000 Jingzhou soldiers resounded like angry shouts throughout the world.
"Good!"
"That Gu will not say more, this battle is related to the rise and fall of our Han Dynasty, and it is also related to whether the soldiers will lose their homeland in the future."
"Therefore, I hope that all the soldiers are not only fighting for the Han, but also fighting desperately to defend their homeland."
"Expel the Wu thieves and kill them all."
"Kill, kill."
Because the soldiers who marched eastward this time were themselves the Jingzhou army led by Liu Bei when he entered Shu before.
Now that the Wu army has attacked their homeland, it is easier to arouse their hatred and hatred!
"Gongheng, lead the crowd to go."
Immediately, Liu Bei also slowly looked at Huang Quan from the side and said loudly.
"No."
Hearing this, he surrendered his promise, so he went straight to him, raised his sword, and drank: "All departments listen to the order, form a formation, and target Jingzhou." ”
The order was handed down.
The 20,000-strong army was easily constrained by the generals and passed in an orderly formation.
"Gong Heng."
"The survival of Jingzhou will be entrusted to you and Yunchang in the future, and I hope not to live up to Lonely's expectations."
At the last moment, Liu Bei stared at Huang Quan tightly and said.
"Lord, please rest assured."
"The right will live up to its mission!"
A strong echo, Huang Quan also slowly jumped on the war horse and slowly left.
The next moment, Liu Bei's eyes looked into the distance, his face was as calm as water, staring at the distant army carefully, and he didn't move for a long time!
………
Under the city of Yiling.
In the past few days, due to the convergence of Huang Gai's headquarters and Ling Tong, the combined army of the two armies has far exceeded the defenders in Chengguan.
Merely.
During this period of time, although Huang Gai led the crowd to storm Yiling for several days, they all returned in vain!
Almost every offensive was stopped by Zhao Yun and his people.
Moreover, due to the narrow terrain of the mountain road under the city pass, each group of soldiers who formed a formation to attack the city was only a few hundred or so.
At this time, Zhao Yun led the white-eared elite soldiers out of the city to disrupt their formation, so that they could not attack the city with peace of mind.
However, due to the limitations of the terrain, Huang Gai was unable to mobilize a heavy army to encircle and annihilate Zhao Yun's troops.
Therefore, this has created nearly ten days of effort, since the westward advance of the Wu army, it is not even the first important town in Yidu and leading to Shuzhong!
As a result, the war also stalemate, and the two sides confronted each other tightly.
On this day, the Wu army camp is the main tent.
"General Huang, Governor Lu Du ordered the villain to rush here quickly, tell you and General Ling Tong, and let you lead the army to retreat quickly."
"After the retreat, General Huang Lao led the troops of the headquarters, returned to Wuling and Lingling, and operated the two counties to consolidate the county seat of Xinde County."
"As for General Ling, he led the crowd to Jiangling and joined the governor."
In a moment, the messenger rushed into the account and gave it up.
Hearing this, Huang Gai couldn't help frowning, he was originally in a bad mood because of the repeated refusal to conquer the tomb, but now when he heard the news of the withdrawal, he frowned even more and was silent.
Half ringing.
Ling Tongcai on the side was thoughtful and muttered, "Withdraw the troops?" ”
"Could it be that something has happened to Gangneung?"
As soon as the words fell.
When the messenger heard the news, he didn't dare to hide it, so he hurriedly surrendered his hand to the defeat of Hanjin, and Xiakou was therefore defended, which caused the news of a large-scale rebellion in Shanyue in the territory.
The words fell.
"General Huang, General Ling, when the villain was ordered to come, Governor Lu said, please wait for the army to evacuate as soon as possible, don't fall in love with the war."
"In case the reinforcements from Shuzhong suddenly come in a big way, our army is mired in war, and we can't easily withdraw."
"Okay, you should retreat first, go back and tell the governor, and say that we have received the general's order, and we will not disobey the order, and we will withdraw the army quickly."
Before he finished speaking, Ling Tong's face was not obvious, so he bluntly interrupted the messenger's words and said.
"No."
Upon hearing this, the messenger gave up his promise and retreated.
After he left, Ling Tong couldn't help but look at Huang Gai, who was at the top of the head, and said: "Old general, for today's plan, what should our army do?" ”
"Hanjin was defeated, the important town of Xiakou was also lost, and Shanyue in the territory rebelled against it because of this, threatening the hinterland of Wuzhong."
"Now, Yiling is close to the mountains and dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, our army immediately obeyed the general's order and retreated immediately?"
At this time, Ling Tong's face was solemn, his eyes were firmly fixed on Huang Gai's body, and he asked.
Hearing this, Huang Gai's face was as calm as water at the moment, and he did not speak immediately, but pounced on the map hanging on the screen, studying carefully.
Half-groaned.
Huang Gaicai raised his head suddenly, his eyes couldn't help revealing gray eyes, facing Ling Tong on the side, and chuckled: "Gongji, in your opinion, if our army pretends to follow the orders of General Lu Du, lead the crowd to withdraw with great fanfare." ”
"Zhao Yun must always be worried about the situation in Nanjun, our army will withdraw, and he will definitely lead the Bai'er elite soldiers to immediately rush out of Yiling and enter Jiangling City in the east."
"But in fact, our army secretly sent an army to hide in the mountains and mountains of Yiling, as long as Zhao Yun led the people to leave, our army would attack Yiling City at night."
"In this way, Yiling will definitely be defenseless, and our army will definitely be able to seize this important town in a battle."
"Gongji, what do you think of this policy?"
The words fell.
When Ling Tong heard the news, he couldn't help but shake his head and ponder for a while, and then muttered: "Old general, I'm afraid this strategy is hanging!" ”
"If the rest of the Shu generals are stationed in Yiling, this strategy still has a chance to succeed."
"But Zhao Yun has a calm temperament, and he must think twice before acting, and he will not easily lead the crowd to leave Yiling."
"In this way, our army will also go bankrupt!"
After thinking about it a lot, Ling Tong couldn't help but think of Zhao Yun's temperament, so he shook his head and said.
"Alas!"
"Give it a try."
"Gongji, you will lead the main force to prepare for the evacuation with great fanfare, and this general will lead an army to hide in the mountains at night and wait for the opportunity."
"If Zhao Yun is in the plan, you will turn back and kill and break the city with me, but if this strategy fails, then you will evacuate according to the original plan."
"Fall."
As soon as the words fell, Ling Tong surrendered his promise and went to prepare.
