Chapter 356: Don't laugh, I'm panicking
In the darkness, Yin Chengzheng didn't have time to distinguish the direction, only knew that he was probably fleeing in the direction of Turtle City. Since being ambushed by the Qin army, Yin Cheng didn't dare to stop at all along the way, but he felt a group of soldiers hanging behind him, and he didn't know how many there were. Yin Chengzheng knew that he had made a big mistake now, but now it was too late to say this, so he could only run for his life.
At this time, the sky was already dark, and Yin Chengzheng's troops were already exhausted after a night of fleeing. A group of disgraced remnants of the defeated army collapsed beside a stream, their heads stuck in the stream, gulping down water.
"Hahaha, hahaha."
Just as the soldiers were drinking in the stream, Yin Chengzheng, who was sitting on the grass, suddenly laughed again. With his laughter, the soldiers drinking by the creek shuddered, and almost fell headlong into the stream.
"General, are you still laughing at Li Chen's unscrupulous and Han Xin's unwise?" A general cautiously probed.
"Not bad......" Yin Chengzheng puffed out his chest and said loudly.
"General, can you stop laughing, we're panicking." The generals said in unison.
"Click, click, click."
As soon as Yin Chengzheng's voice fell, he heard a sudden vibration on the ground, followed by the sound of horses' hooves getting closer and closer.
All the soldiers turned their heads and stared straight at Yin Chengzheng, as if they were looking at the plague god. Yin Chengzheng's face was gloomy, and the green tendons on his forehead were exposed. He felt that his mouth seemed to stink, and he wanted to pull out his own teeth.
"No, listening to this movement, there are at least tens of thousands of cavalry, and the Qin army does not have so many cavalry, it should be our own people." After a little panic, Yin Chengzheng quickly calmed down.
"Brother Yin, it's me." In the blink of an eye, this cavalry could already see from a distance that the leader was Wei Kunyang.
As soon as Wei Kunyang sent troops from Turtle City, he had just walked half the distance on his side, and he saw that there were fires burning everywhere in the wilderness, in the mountains and forests, and beside the hills. There is no need to think that these places are all Ma Han and Wei Han people who are besieged by the Qin army. Since the Wei Han people who went out in the back all went out battalion by battalion, under the interception of the Qin army in batches, the entire battlefield seemed very loose. And in such a loose battlefield, Wei Kunyang's army has really become a strange soldier.
Since the Wei Han people were scattered to support in batches, the Qin army naturally had to be dispersed in this way. And the small Qin army that was scattered was obviously not the opponent of Wei Kunyang's army, which also made Wei Kunyang's army a firefighter, and he put out fires everywhere all night, and he also collected fifty or sixty thousand troops in his hands. No, on the way here, I met a soldier who didn't keep up with Yin Chengzheng's escape speed, so I found it all the way.
"Brother Wei, I was wrong," seeing Wei Kunyang, who had come to save his family in the starry night, Yin Chengzheng asked with a feeling of affection in the air. Moved, Yin Chengzheng was quite moved.
It's useless to say anything now, if he can go back to three days ago, Wei Kunyang can guarantee that he must strangle Yin Chengzheng alive. However, there is no if, and there is no regret medicine in this world, and it is irreversible if something has happened.
"Assemble the army." Wei Kunyang said lukewarmly, at this time he was suppressing his emotions, for fear that he would not be able to control himself and wanted to strangle Yin Chengzheng.
"General Yin, we still have 23,000 people." It didn't take much effort for the soldier in charge of counting the soldiers to hand in the exact figures. This number sounds like a lot, but you must know that Yin Chengzheng last night was enough to have more than 100,000 troops. From this moment, seeing that Ma Han suffered heavy losses in this battle, you must know that the entire Ma Han is only a few hundred thousand in his prime, and the soldiers lost in today's war are already a disaster for Ma Han.
Looking at the casualty report handed over, Yin Chengzheng's eyes were already bloodshot and red. Now this casualty really makes Yin Chengzheng feel a little distressed, feeling sorry for the soldiers is secondary, and from today on, Yin Chengzheng is only afraid that he will become the laughing stock of this land.
For Yin Chengzheng, this battle is like he is eating in a restaurant, and someone spills a drop on him when someone passes by him with a urine bucket. Then he hurriedly chased after him, but who knew that instead of apologizing and not saying anything, he also directly buckled the basin to his head. For a general, defeating a battle, especially the annihilation of the whole army, is far more uncomfortable for Yin Chengzheng than being stuck in his head by a basin. If he had a choice, he would rather be detained a hundred times than lose a battle like this.
"Brother Wei, from now on, I will hand over the command of the Mahan army to you, you will treat me as an ordinary general, you let me go east I dare not go west, you let me beat dogs I dare not fight chickens." Yin Chengzheng clasped his hands into fists and said respectfully.
So far, Yin Chengzheng has recognized his shortcomings. He is a general, but not a handsome talent. Over the years, he has fought small battles between the three Koreas, and such battles at the tactical level have allowed him to win every battle. But now when it comes to the war at the strategic level, he was immediately tricked by Li Chen. Now Yin Chengzheng's mentality has jumped, in this case, he might as well hand over all the rights in his hands to Wei Kunyang. In this situation, only Ma Han and Wei Han people can win if they clench into a fist.
Wei Kunyang naturally took over the command of all the soldiers, and to be honest, he didn't dare to let Yin Chengzheng command. If it weren't for this kid, this battle wouldn't have been like this. There were 200,000 people, and they were actually surrounded by 30,000 Qin troops in batches, just like a gourd baby saving their grandfather, and jumped into the trap of the Qin army one after another.
"Assemble the army, follow me."
Seeing that these soldiers who had been running with Yin Chengzheng all night had already eased up a little, Wei Kunyang ordered left and right.
"Brother Wei, aren't we going back to Turtle City?" Seeing Wei Kunyang commanding the soldiers to rush in the direction of the battlefield, Yin Chengzheng was a little stunned for a while. Why don't you go back and take the city? Wouldn't it be in vain to run away this night, if he didn't run back and fight with Qin Jun, he wouldn't be able to fall into such an embarrassed appearance. You must know that your men had an army of 100,000 last night, and this is 100,000 people, not 100,000 pigs. Even if it is really 100,000 pigs, Qin Jun can't catch them all in one night.
"Brother Yin, do you know that when your people left, they also took my people out, and the number of people in the city last night was only more than 30,000. I have no choice but to bring people out to find you, now that the battle situation has eroded into this, Turtle City is an empty city, and it must have fallen into the hands of the Qin army now. ”
"Now that you and I are already bound to lose, while the main force of the Qin army has not yet entered the city, we must keep them outside the city as much as possible. The Qin army is full of 50,000 people, you and I can die, but we must fight the living force of the Qin army. Wei Kunyang said categorically.
When Wei Kunyang made this decision, he was already doomed to the end of the Ma Wei coalition army. Wei Kunyang misjudged the current form, and he only thought that the Qin army had invested all his strength like them. But he didn't know that no matter how difficult the battle was last night and how stretched the Qin army was, Li Chen always only sent 30,000 soldiers to participate in the battle. Reserves, this is the practice of not leaving reserves in this era, but Li Chen has enough reserves of 20,000. It is conceivable that in the event of a decisive battle between two exhausted armies, this reserve force will be the decisive rear.
