Chapter 1548: The Suspicious Soldier's Plan (II)

Seeing the withdrawal of the Qin army, Han Xinzhong also breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately summoned Zhang He and other generals, and ordered: "Junyi, you lead the cavalry to pursue, remember not to chase too close, and retreat after chasing for thirty miles." ”

Zhang He was stunned for a moment, and asked suspiciously: "Lord, the withdrawal of the Qin army is the perfect opportunity to follow the pursuit and break the Qin army in one fell swoop, why only chase thirty miles?" ”

Zhang He's words also expressed the doubts of the generals among them, after all, the Qin army, which was sacrificed to forget life and death, and finally repelled it, how could there be a reason not to take advantage of the victory to pursue?

Han Xin sighed and explained, "If you can really defeat the Qin army, how can Ben Hou not pursue it? But now that the Qin army has retreated, and the army is tired, the casualties are not large after all.

The infantry can't catch up with the cavalry at all, and our cavalry is less than 10,000 people, how can we defeat the Qin army? ”

Hearing Han Xin say this, Zhang He immediately said: "Didn't Lian Po send 20,000 cavalry to support our army?" The 10,000 cavalry of our army, plus the 20,000 cavalry of the Zhao army in full condition, were enough to defeat the exhausted iron cavalry of the Qin army. ”

"Hehe, do you really think that Lian Po will let those precious cavalry of Yuan Shao take risks for the sake of our life and death?" Han Xin asked with a sneer.

The generals were stunned when they heard this, and Nangong Changwan asked: "Lord, do you mean that the one who came to support is not the cavalry of the Zhao army?" ”

"Of course, although we and Yuan Shao have formed an alliance, we should help each other in attack and defense, but after all, this battle is too risky, and if we are not careful, the Zhao army may face the pincer attack of the Qin army, and it is impossible for Lian Po to take risks for us." Han Xin said coldly.

"So, there are no reinforcements at all?" Zhang He asked with wide eyes.

"That's right, that's just a suspicious plan laid out by Ben Hou in advance, only three thousand horsemen are pretending to be pretending.

If 80,000 foot cavalry can't defeat 40,000 Qin army iron cavalry, this suspicious soldier is the last hole card of our army, but it still bluffs Zhang Liao. ”

Han Xin said with palpitations that this battle was really the most thrilling battle he had experienced since he joined the army, and he hated this feeling of not being under his control very much.

Ten miles away from the battlefield, Gao Ran was commanding 3,000 cavalry, trying to stir up as many people as possible, and at the same time guarding and shooting the spies of the Qin army.

"Strategist, can this trick really fool the Qin army?" Gao Ran asked worriedly at the side of the frustration.

Fu Zhu frowned, but said extremely firmly: "Yes, it will, maybe he can't fool Guo Jia, but he will definitely be able to fool Zhang Liao, he doesn't dare to bet." ”

Under the leadership of Gao Ran and Fu Zhi, the 3,000 Han army light cavalry pretended to be 20,000 cavalry, and rushed all the way to Han Xin's office unhurriedly and slowly.

The eyes were returning to Han Xin's side, and after listening to Han Xin's answer, the generals looked at each other, obviously not expecting that the lord, who had never fought unprepared battles, would one day pin his hopes on gambling.

"Lord, if the plan of the suspicious soldiers does not work, and the Qin army does not take the initiative to retreat, then won't our army be wiped out?"

After listening to Zhang He's question, a hint of thought flashed in Han Xin's eyes, and then he also said something similar to that of Frustration.

"No, no, Guo Jia may have the courage, but Zhang Liao definitely doesn't, he doesn't dare to gamble with me with 40,000 Qin horses." Han Xin said very firmly.

Zhang He led less than 10,000 horsemen to chase after him, but he didn't dare to chase too close, in case the Qin army killed the horse gun, it would be difficult to go, and at the same time, he didn't dare to go too far, after all, it was easy for the Qin army to see the reality.

As soon as Zhang He left, Han Xin didn't even order the battlefield to be cleaned, so he couldn't wait to lead the whole army and evacuate to the nearest city.

Before leaving, when Han Xin looked at the bloody battlefield, there were severed limbs and broken arms everywhere, and most of them were in the costumes of the Han army, which made Han Xin hate Guo Jia for scheming himself, after all, if it weren't for Guo Jia's Tiger Han Army, they would never have paid such a big casualty.

"Guo Jia, this time I was careless, if you want to calculate me next time, it won't be so easy."

After Han Xin snorted coldly, he ordered: "The whole army retreats." ”

"No."

At the same time, Zhang Liao, who also withdrew his troops, after roughly estimating the casualties, found that the losses of the Qin army were not large, and when the casualties were less than one-tenth, he was also secretly relieved, but what he didn't know was that he missed the only opportunity to defeat Han Xin.

"General Zhang Liao, the cavalry of the Han army is chasing after you, and the cavalry of the Zhao army is also chasing after you."

After hearing the report, Zhang Liao said decisively: "Don't pay attention to it, if the Han army can't catch up, it will retreat when it is exhausted, and our army only needs to guard against the Zhao army." ”

"No."

Retreating and retreating, Guo Jia was the first to notice that something was wrong.

If it is said that the Korean army has gone through a big battle, the physical consumption of the war horse is very large, and it is not enough to catch up.

But the cavalry of the Zhao army has never participated in the battle, and it is completely in its heyday under the care of leisure, how can it not catch up?

At this moment, a carrier pigeon landed on Guo Jia's shoulder, Guo Jia took it out and found that it was Long Ji's military report, but the content on it made Guo Jia's pupils shrink sharply.

"It's not good, it's a suspicious tactic."

Guo Jia exclaimed, and then hurriedly said to Zhang Liao: "General Zhang Liao, the news from Long and over there has come, Lian Po has been standing still, and he has not sent cavalry to support Han Xin at all. ”

After Zhang Liao took the letterhead and looked at it, his face suddenly became extremely ugly, and he shouted: "Quickly turn around, let's kill back." ”

"No."

The Qin military order was forbidden, and after the military order was conveyed, tens of thousands of iron horsemen immediately turned around.

Zhang He and Gao Lan, who were in the distance, couldn't help but smile at each other after seeing this, and Zhang He said: "Zhang Liao is still alert, and he found out so quickly." ”

"But it's still late, the lord's side should have already entered the city."

"Let's also withdraw quickly, don't be entangled by the Qin army."

"Hmm."

Under the command of Zhang He Gaoran, more than 10,000 Han cavalry retreated in two ways.

Seeing this, Zhang Liao was even more sure that he had been tricked, but he did not send troops to pursue them, after all, they were all cavalry and it was not easy to catch up, and it was more important to solve the main force of the Korean army.

After the Qin army returned to the previous battlefield, the Han army naturally disappeared long ago, leaving only corpses everywhere.

Seeing this, Zhang Liao couldn't help clenching his fists, gritted his teeth and said, "Quickly clean up the battlefield, and then take the corpses of the brothers who died in the battle and withdraw." ”

"No."

After counting, it was found that the casualties of the Qin army in this battle were only more than 3,000 cavalry, which was less than one-tenth of the total number of the whole army, of which 500 were damaged by the broken army and heavy cavalry.

As for the Han army, because it was facing a surprise attack by the Qin army, and it had been passively beaten, there were not many effective means of counterattack, and in the end, it was only by relying on the tactics of suspicious soldiers that the Qin army was deceived and retreated.

Therefore, the casualties of the South Korean army in this battle were extremely heavy, and the total casualties reached more than 20,000 people, reaching a quarter of the entire army.
