Chapter 96: The Panicked Prison Army
Below, a military general held a sword with one hand, and his heart was very unhappy.
These two main and deputy coaches who were parachuted down by Zhao Gao are wine bags and rice bags who can only slap their beards!
The other party has already left the camp and lined up, and the posture has already been set up, and he even asked if he really wanted to tear his face.
Do you have to wait for someone else's army to come in before you can tear your face?
Moreover, the news of the commander's killing has spread all over the army, and it is the time when the morale of the army is the most unstable.
Although he has tried his best to issue orders, he has falsely claimed that it is a rumor that the enemy has shaken the morale of the army.
But the soldiers below are not fools, how can they stabilize because of an explanation.
If the manager is really fine, why hasn't he shown up so far?
Only the people in the big tent know best that the boss was really killed by a sneak attack, and the body is being placed in a tent in the corner!
The other side even the commander and general have already attacked and killed, making it clear that they want to disturb the morale of the army for a decisive battle.
The coach has been killed and still has illusions, isn't this looking for death!
However, as the deputy general who succeeded the command, he didn't look incredulous, which made the people below anxious.
A general in armor said eagerly: "Lord Overseer, General, send troops to meet the enemy!" ”
The man sitting in the upper left, with a white beard, hesitated and said, "Then, then send troops?" ”
From the shrill voice, it can be heard that this is a eunuch in the palace!
Obviously, it is Zhao Gao's cronies again, in order to firmly control the 200,000 army!
With Zhao Gao's current power leaning towards the government and the opposition, and the posture of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces can't raise their heads, let alone pushing a little-known little eunuch as a prison army, no one dares to say no even if a beggar is pulled on the side of the road.
When the time comes, draw up an edict by yourself and then stamp the seal, who dares to disobey!
The commander was beheaded, the overseer and the adjutant general reached an agreement, and the decision to send troops to meet the enemy was decided.
However, how many people to send to meet the enemy will have to be carefully considered.
Most of the 200,000 local soldiers were drafted while working at home.
In terms of combat power, compared with the elite of the Northern Army of Shangjun who experienced the Hun fighting, the combat power is not one and a half points.
Now the other party is in a position of 100,000 people, and all the 200,000 people on his own side can barely block it.
If the other side sends 200,000 people, it will definitely lose.
This point is clear to the senior generals below who have experienced the southern expedition and the northern war.
But behind is Xianyang, even if you can't beat it, you have to go to the top, otherwise once the defeat makes the enemy soldiers come to the city, the family they left in Xianyang as hostages will have to be slaughtered first!
Seeing that everyone below did not speak, the eunuch of the prison army said anxiously: "Didn't you say that it was good to send troops to resist the enemy?" How to resist, you have an idea! ”
Bang!
The adjutant general slapped the table angrily and scolded: "A bunch of rubbish! ”
Below, a general whispered, "We should immediately mobilize the 100,000 troops in the camp to meet the enemy, and then bring back the troops scattered in the various passes and guards!" When the time comes, even if the other party's army of 100,000 presses up, we can block it! ”
The deputy general looked stunned and said in surprise: "All of them have been transferred back, what if the enemy bypasses us and sneaks up on Xianyang?" ”
Pi moved his lips, but he still didn't dare to reply.
But the eunuch of the prison army was anxious, frowned and asked sharply: "You answered!" ”
Under the urging of the general, he simply put his heart sideways.
Raising his head, he said: "Back then, His Majesty the First Emperor transferred all 300,000 horses to the north to resist the Xiongnu, it can be said that the northern army in Shangjun is the real elite division of Great Qin!"
If we want to block the other party's 100,000 elites, we can only do our best to make it possible! Otherwise, our side will definitely lose under the battle of the same soldiers and horses!
If...... If there really is an army of 100,000 people who make a detour to Xianyang, we will not have the strength to resist, right? ”
Suddenly, there was silence in the big tent.
After some analysis, everyone knew that if they wanted to fight this battle, they could only gather men and horses and contend with an absolute superiority in troops.
If the soldiers and horses are still scattered to form a blockade line on the road to Xianyang, once the other side sends 50,000 soldiers and horses, the lined up army will not be able to resist the impact at all!
In the event of an attack elsewhere, it is important to send reinforcements.
At that time, the strength of the Chinese battalion will be weakened again due to the division of troops, giving the enemy a chance.
The final result will only be because the division of troops will be broken one by one!
Everyone present understands this truth.
But once the forces are gathered and the rest of the place is empty, Xianyang will be in danger!
The general said in a deep voice: "There are two roads in front of us now, the enemy has sent troops to attack the commander's camp, and the purpose of the war is already obvious!"
Either shrink your forces to meet the enemy's 100,000 troops head-on, leaving only a small number of men and horses along the way to hold on, and once you find an enemy attack, immediately give a warning to Xianyang!
Another way is to gather the army and immediately withdraw the army to Xianyang! ”
The suggestion was made, but it was difficult to choose.
If the defensive line is weak and the enemy forces break through from other places, and Xianyang is not protected, they will have to be held accountable.
If you want to gather the army and retreat, but the upper peak means that the northern army will not be able to take a step out of the upper county!
The adjutant general frowned and pondered for a moment, then turned his head and asked, "Lord Overseer, what do you think?" ”
The eunuch of the prison army was full of impatience, and his mind weighed the gains and losses at full speed.
The first suggestion is risky, but it's not a defensive strategy.
If he really retreats to Xianyang, his prison army will lose its value of existence, and according to Zhao Gao's temperament, he will definitely be punished and killed!
Compared with Xianyang, who was approached by soldiers in the city, it seems that his own life is more important.
Even if all the 200,000 local troops are killed, as long as they can block the footsteps of the Northern Army, they will be a great achievement!
As for the life and death of those 200,000 soldiers, they did not care about it at all.
Murderous said: "Immediately gather the army and prepare to fight, if the northern army dares to step on the boundary monument, kill!" ”
"No!"
As soon as the generals below were ordered, they were immediately ordered.
"Whew"
The adjutant general also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, even if the battle was lost, he would be able to have someone to carry the blame.
Suddenly, a cavalryman named Messenger rushed out of the camp and ordered to assemble.
General Pi and two other generals also led the troops to assemble and prepare to meet the enemy, standing on a high place to observe the enemy camp in the distance.
Seeing that the enemy had only assembled three troops and a formation of 15,000 men and horses an hour, he couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart.
The art of war is cloudy, and the soldiers are fast and fast.
Since the assembled army has set up a sortie formation, it is necessary to quickly assemble and attack the opponent in one go.
It's really confusing to go out of the camp like this.
Whether it is Meng Tian or Wang Li, they are both veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time, and it is impossible to make such a low-level mistake.
Odd?
