Chapter 31: A Dilemma

"What is General Gu's opinion?" Wu Ming was also surprised and immediately asked.

Of course, General Gu has a high opinion. He broke his arm, was uncomfortable in the tent, wanted to play mahjong but was confiscated by the guards, and when he was bored, he decided to study the art of war seriously. And the art of war he can learn will naturally not be Sun Tzu's Art of War, but various stories, such as the stories of the Eastern Zhou Kingdoms. Although these stories are not very useful, they can at least be used today to oppose Wei Qing.

In fact, Gu Weidong has no opinion on which is better to defend the war, and he doesn't bother to think about it at all, there is only one principle he pursues: when Wei Qing says attack, he says defend, and when Wei Qing says defend, he says attack. What's more, at present, everyone agrees to defend, only Wei Qing said to attack, and he naturally opposes Wei Qing with confidence.

"In the Battle of Changping during the Warring States Period, Lian Po was the main defender, and Zhao Kuo was the main attacker, but as a result, Zhao Kuo misled the country and the whole army was annihilated, how can we make such a mistake again today?" Gu Weidong proudly brought out the story he had just watched last night, "One misstep becomes a thousand years of hatred, pity the 700,000 soldiers of the Qin army." ”

Several generals snorted in their noses. The meaning of taking care of the general is that Zhao killed 700,000 soldiers of Qin. However, although Gu Weidong said the wrong allusion, the meaning is quite clear, that is, it cannot be attacked lightly.

Wei Qing gritted his teeth with hatred. At this time and that time, in order to change the way of the enemy, who stipulates that in the face of a strong enemy, it must be defended? If you can copy the ancient examples of war, then simply let the storyteller be the general. But he couldn't say this, otherwise it would be a great disrespect to General Chang.

Wu Ming hesitated. He was indeed worried that if he defended, as Wei Qing said, he might die of exhaustion, and if he attacked, he might die faster.

"What do you guys think?" Wu Ming also had no idea, so he had to ask the generals seated.

The generals were in chaos for a while, some said that they could attack, some said that they should defend, some said that they attacked first and then defended, and some said that they would attack again after defending enough, anyway, in addition to the suggestion of fleeing directly.

Wu Ming's eyebrows furrowed into a Sichuan character. "That's it," he said in a loud voice, "the armies will take the guard first, it's late at night, everyone go back and think about it, and the commander should think about it well, and discuss it tomorrow." ”

The result of "reopening tomorrow" is still inconclusive. So, once again, "we will discuss it tomorrow".

Wei Qing hurriedly circled in the tent.

He privately told Wu Mingli twice that if he sat on the line, in the end it only slowed down the time of failure, but increased the possibility of failure, and as time went by, the danger of failure would become greater and greater, rather than sit and wait, it was better to fight to the death. But Wu Ming thought about it and couldn't make up his mind.

Now that a day and two nights have passed, if tomorrow is "to discuss tomorrow", then there is no need to "discuss", because the Jin army has already set up camp, and when the Jin army is divided, everything will be too late. If you attack the frontal Jin army, people can retreat, and the other roads are attacking from the east, west, north and south, is it difficult to watch them burn grain and occupy the city?

Wei Qing stood outside the door, looking at the sky. It's been two shifts, and he still hasn't slept at all. The army of 50,000 was forced to die by the Jin army step by step? But he's not Wu Ming, he can't make the final decision, what should he do?

He paced back and forth, thinking that it would be good if the Jin army could take the initiative to challenge, but he just saw that the Jin army was camped steadily, and there was no intention of taking the initiative to attack.

He let out a long sigh and was about to go back to his room when an idea suddenly flashed into his mind. This idea was so terrible that he couldn't help but shiver all over his body when he thought of it.

"No way!" He couldn't help but scream, and hurriedly shook his head to get the idea out of his head.

There was a commotion in the distance. Wei Qing squinted his eyes, and in the darkness, he only faintly saw a few soldiers fighting.

He sighed.

In the past few days, there have been more soldiers fighting, and the morale of the soldiers was high, but the army did not move as soon as it was stationed in Fang County, and the soldiers had nowhere to vent their energy, and there was no enemy to fight, so they fought each other. Morale is slowly being worn out.

Wei Qing paused. That's all there is to it! He knows how dangerous it is for him to do this, not only may he face being killed, but he may even be ruined and stinking for 10,000 years, but he can't help it, for the sake of 50,000 soldiers, for the sake of the Han River and Mountain, he can only fight! He turned around and went into the house, hurriedly changed into a set of civilian clothes, hurriedly wrote a letter and stuffed it in his arms, and went out in hiding.

The next day, there was no "rediscussion" on the issue of whether to fight or defend, because the Jin army helped them solve this problem.

The whole Jin army is coming to attack!

"All-arms war!" Wu Ming ordered continuously, "The Wei guerrilla return to the third team on the left, the third team on the left is in the center, the first and fourth teams are on the left and right, the second and fifth teams are behind, the horse general, General Gu is injured, please assist General Gu in commanding the battle!" ”

I have to say that Wu Ming's command is still well-organized. The third team on the left has Wei Qing here, and he can be the main force in the front, and General Gu Da of the second team on the left is really reassuring, so let Ma Chao assist, and put it on the guard line, at least there is no need to risk a battle.

The generals were ordered to go.

As soon as Wei Qing arrived in the army, Liu Anbang ordered: "Wei Guerrilla, this team is under your command!" ”

Wei Qing sighed secretly, he felt as if he was a full-time firefighting team, going up if there was danger, and going down if there was no danger. But no matter what team it is, he now has another responsibility on his shoulders. "Order!" Wei Qing replied loudly.

Wei Qing rode on his horse and looked into the distance.

In the distance, dust and smoke were billowing in the distance, and the cavalry of the Jin army was slowly rushing forward. The left and right sides are also faintly dusty, and it seems that the Jin army is planning to win this battle.

According to General Wu's arrangement, the left third team is in the middle position, and the left and right sides are the first and fourth teams, and the most critical thing in this arrangement is that the left third team in the middle cannot be defeated, and the left and right wings will be separated once defeated.

The Jin army seemed to see this mystery as well, and their middle lane also protruded forward, ready to engage in battle. According to Jin Jun's idea, since you have arranged this formation, I will also arrange it like this, and the power of the formation cancels each other out, and the rest is whose soldiers are more powerful. And the Jin army has an advantage in this regard.

The problem is that they ran into the left third team of the Han army, and the commander of the left third team is now Wei Qing.

"Bow in line!" Wei Qing saw that the Jin army began to move forward, and immediately gave the order.

The archers immediately stepped forward and lined up in three rows, the first half kneeling, the second standing upright, two rows forwarding with bows, and the third row standing upright, holding bows half to the sky.

The cavalry of the Jin army began to approach. The sound of booming hooves shook people's hearts.

In the billowing smoke and dust, the horse team of the Jin Army loomed, there was not even a gap between the horses and the horses, although the distance was so small, none of them collided, and the queue was very tight, and the side looked almost a straight line, like a wave hitting the shore, its discipline and quality were amazing.

Bai Buxin suddenly grabbed Wei Qing's hand, leaned over from the horse, and said in Wei Qing's ear: "It's an ironclad horse!" ”

Wei Qing was startled, stared closely, and saw that the cavalry of the Jin Army were all wearing heavy armor, covered with thick iron armor from head to toe, and the thighs of those horses and horses were covered with heavy armor. Sure enough, it's the Iron Horse Team!

Wei Qing's heart began to beat wildly.

The Iron Armored Horse Team has always been not easy to fight, it is the elite of the Jin Army, and now it is the Iron Armored Horse Team as soon as it comes up, which shows that the Jin Army attaches great importance to this battle, and also shows the determination of the Jin Army to win with one blow! These heavily armored troops are not something that ordinary bows and arrows can stop, so they have to find another way!

"Bai Dutong, you go and do this right away!" Wei Qing immediately gave an order to Bai Buxin.

"Order!" White does not believe in receiving orders.

"Be quick! We'll do our best! Wei Qing instructed.

"Understood!" Of course, Bai Buxin understands that if he doesn't do it as soon as possible, this battle will be a heavy loss, even if he doesn't lose.

"Shoot the arrows!" Seeing the Jin army approaching, although he knew that the bow and arrow were not very effective, he could only release the arrow.

Arrows rained down, bows and arrows continued to shoot at the body of the ironclad cavalry, knocking on the ironclad should be a ring, but few could hurt the cavalry of the Jin Army.

"The archers stand back, the pikes step forward!" Seeing that the bow and arrow were ineffective, Wei Qing could only use the spear to fight the iron armored horse of the Jin Army.

The ironclad cavalry is getting closer. Wei Qing's expression became more and more serious.

Spears against heavy cavalry are definitely not a good idea. But now he has no other way. He also saw the muscles on the pikemen's faces twisted with nervousness, but he couldn't retreat, he had to fight for his life!

The sound of hooves was like thunder, and the Jin army was already very close, and he might even clearly see the armor leaves on their bodies shaking up and down with the undulations of the horses.

The cavalry captain of the Jin Army in front has already drawn his sword!

On his left and right, the soldiers of the Jin army raised their spears one after another, and put them on the heads of their horses. Heavy armor, iron cavalry, spears, galloping, group charges, all the tricks against the infantry are here. This is one of the magic weapons of the Golden Army's victory and defeat.

However, Wei Qing still has no good way to deal with it.

If he was given three months to train and think, he might be able to figure out a way---- this was just a possibility, but now, he, the captain of the firefighting team, would take it down immediately when there was no danger, and it would be impossible to find a way to crack it---- unless Bai Buxin completed the task assigned to him by Wei Qing on time.

White Belief is done! "Defend guerrillas, it's done!" Bai Buxin galloped his horse and roared loudly when he was still there.

"All retreat backwards and avoid the Jin cavalry!" Wei Qing's nervous voice changed tone, he took his horse and led the soldiers to retreat quickly.

A few Han soldiers who were a little slower couldn't dodge, and were directly rushed at the feet by the galloping Jin army horse team, the horse's hooves were trampled, and the Han soldiers screamed loudly, but they couldn't avoid the horse's hooves that fell like rain, and in a blink of an eye, their intestines were cracked and they died.

The captain of the cavalry of the Jin army led by him was overjoyed, and as soon as the Han army retreated, the formation was out of order, and they were bound to win a big victory this time. He raised his waist knife and was about to cheer, when suddenly his eyes showed fear and he shouted loudly!

As soon as the Han army dispersed, he immediately saw that there were hundreds of spears on the ground facing him!
