1422. These, I know
In the middle of a mountain forest, dozens of samurai are resting here.
They were the samurai who were evacuated from the battlefield, because when the samurai legions were evacuated, they were dispersed, albeit strategically.
This is mainly to prevent the other side from launching a determined pursuit and besieging them all to death, so they disperse and evacuate, with the plan of evacuating as much as they can.
And the leader of these dozens of samurai was Thunderstorm, who experienced a battle to the death, although in the end he withdrew, and this war was fundamentally the defeat of the samurai legions, because they did not complete their strategic goal and occupy a defensive stronghold of the Wei army.
But in the eyes of the Wei people, the cost of this victory was too great, and if they could, they would give up this frontal fight.
Even the loss of a stronghold is much better than the loss of 100,000 people, including 38,000 Wei Wushu.
The thunderstorm was sitting limply on the ground at this time, they had no strength to run, they had to rest, they had to replenish their energy, this situation happened in many places.
Thunderstorm was silent for a while and said, "After this battle, we will be completely wiped out!" ”
The generals didn't understand the meaning of the thunderstorm, and they looked at the thunderstorm and asked puzzledly, "General, what do you mean?" ”
"I don't know how many battles you've fought with the Legion, but you're all good, and I think you're tired of war!" Thunderstorm said lightly.
These soldiers were formed on an ad hoc basis, none of them were of very high rank, and Thunderstorm was actually not very familiar to them.
Because among these dozens of samurai, none of them were his direct subordinates, they were all the most common samurai in the samurai legion, and the highest-ranking was only a captain.
"General, our samurai legion was formed for war, and the brothers joined the samurai legion in the hope of making more military exploits, becoming general-like figures, and even knighted!" A samurai said as he looked at the thunderstorm.
Thunderstorm patted him on the shoulder and said: "Your idea is very good, it won't be long before there will be many big battles, I will give you a chance to leave, as long as you choose to leave, I will not reveal the secret of your departure, I will say that you are dead!" ”
Thunderstorm looked at these people, they were all very young, and he also felt it, yesterday's battle was just a prelude to the storm, the war of Qi to unify the world was about to be launched, yesterday's war, that was just the beginning, there were more wars to come.
Maybe after the world is defeated, the samurai army may be wiped out and no longer exists.
Although the samurai legion is known as the first legion in the world, is there no strong legion among these princes? Isn't there a rival combat power?
The military soldiers of Wei, the Hufu cavalry and light cavalry of Zhao, the sharp soldiers of Qin, the Southern Barbarian Corps of Chu, the fortification corps of Korea, and the Xiang army of the Xiang family are not weak enemies.
If the Qi State wants to unify the world, these are the strong tendon corps that must be fought against each other, although they defeated the samurai legion yesterday, but they also suffered heavy losses, and the Wei Wushu did not wipe out.
Wei still has Wei Wuji's new army, that is, his private soldiers, although Thunderstorm has not been taught, but it is Wei Wuji's own personal soldiers, Thunderstorm believes that this combat effectiveness is definitely not weak.
The samurai picked up their swords one after another: "Although everyone in the samurai legion is greedy for money and merit, we also have our own honor!" ”
"As a member of the Legion, this is our honor, I will not be a deserter!" A samurai stepped forward and said with his eyes firmly fixed at the thunderstorm.
Thunderstorm looked at him and said, "From now on, you will be my direct general!" "Thunderstorm is very appreciative of this person who dares to stand up and talk to him like this.
"In that case, guys, let's rest for a while, and then go back to the main camp!" Thunderstorm said to the crowd.
Originally, Jiang Ai went first, wanting to come here to investigate the situation, and then occupy a garrison to welcome the arrival of the army of Qi.
But Jiang Ai's operation failed, they encountered an attack by the Wei state, and in the end they suffered a crushing defeat, although they inflicted great losses on the Wei people, they still failed, their strategy failed, and the samurai legions withdrew.
The army of Qi was only ten days away from Daliang City at this time.
Because Qi has cannons to transport, the walking is relatively slow, and the cavalry of the vanguard corps is in front, and there are Qi Xiaobai's nine-horse-drawn carts in the rear, and the marching speed is a little slow.
However, Qi Xiaobai was not worried about an enemy attack, because he sent a lot of scouts, as well as the advance troops, if there was an ambush, he could know at the first time that the reason why he was driving slowly was to give the enemy a sense of oppression.
Because the enemy army can't see the people of Qi State, then they will always be afraid and have a huge pressure, and what Qi Xiaobai wants to do is to create such a big sense of pressure for them.
At this time, Qi Xiaobai sat in the carriage, looking at the battle report given to him by the scout in front, he was silent for a while, and then looked at Wei Dexian in front: "Our advance troops are defeated!" ”
"In a death battle with Wei Wushu, according to the scout's report, in this battle, our army suffered heavy losses, 30,000 warriors, and may have to lose more than 20,000 people!" Qi Xiaobai looked at Wei Dexian and said lightly.
Wei Dexian was silent for a while and said, "This is Jiang Ai's dereliction of duty!" ”
Qi Xiaobai waved his hand and said: "No, Jiang Ai did a very good job, although they were defeated, but we know the strength of the enemy army, and at the same time, we have also caused great losses to the enemy army!" ”
And Cha Xinge, who was looking out the window, suddenly said: "If you don't complete the strategic goal, even if you cause a lot of casualties to the other party, it will be a defeat!" ”
Qi Xiaobai waved his hand and said: "This matter, I also have a dereliction of duty, I underestimated the Wei army, thinking that the warrior army can occupy a stronghold by sending an advance force!" ”
"Your Majesty, according to our intelligence, the other party has at least more than ten defensive strongholds, and we ask Jiang Ai to occupy one of them!"
"This task is actually not a very difficult task!" Wei Dexian looked at Qi Xiaobai and said.
"We didn't go to the battlefield in person, we wouldn't know the tragedy of the battlefield, but looking at the numbers and the casualty ratio, we knew that the samurai legion and Jiang Ai had done their best!"
"Although she didn't complete the task, she did her best to complete it, and the samurai of the Samurai Legion also fought with their lives to complete this task!" Qi Xiaobai said blandly.
"But Your Majesty, according to the reports of the people below, the vanguard general Thunderstorm seems to only care about killing the enemy, and has no intention of breaking through any stronghold!" Wei Dexian looked at Qi Xiaobai and said.
Qi Xiaobai was silent and said, "These, I know!" ”
