Chapter 444: It's hard to decide whether it's a battle or a defense
South of Shouchun City, fifty miles, Jin army camp.
The continuous camp, there are fifty miles, on the plain fifty miles south of this Shouchun City, it has already been connected, the military flag of the Jin army Beifu Army, dancing vigorously in the cold wind of this winter, and among the camps under its banner, people are like tigers, horses are like dragons, a team of Jin army soldiers, the armor is bright, the sound of the war song resounded through the sky, the murderous spirit and war intent of the sky, even if it is a hundred miles away from the Qin army camp, it is also heard clearly.
Liu Yu changed into the clothes and armor of a small soldier and stood outside the camp gate of the Chinese army camp, holding a lance and pressing a knife, while Liu Jingxuan, who was dressed in a main attire, stood with him at the door, a middle-level officer and a small soldier stood on the left and right like this, which looked quite strange.
A cold wind blew, Liu Yu's brows frowned slightly, Liu Jingxuan sighed, and said softly: "Jinnu, you haven't been injured yet, you have to come out on duty, it's too reluctant." That burn, Doctor Li said that he had to rest for at least half a month before he could come out, otherwise he was afraid that he would fall to the root of the disease when he saw the wind. ”
Liu Yu shook his head: "At this time, I can't lie on the bed and watch you come out of the camp. Maybe one day it's time to fight, and I don't want to be left on the hospital bed. ”
Liu Jingxuan shook his head: "You, you are really hard-tempered, this will hurt you one day." Jinu, in fact, you don't have to torture yourself like this, Shouchun's defeat is not your fault, but Murong Lan, a traitor, not only you, we are all gone, and no one can even see that she is a woman. ”
Liu Yu closed his eyes in pain: "It's all my fault, I think people are too kind and beautiful, after all, alien races are alien races, and the interests of our Han people are fundamentally opposed, and it is impossible to be consistent." This is also good, so that we can stop all illusions about them and concentrate on fighting the enemy. ”
Speaking of this, Liu Yu opened his eyes, looked at Liu Jingxuan, and said in a deep voice: "Ah Shou, I'm very happy to see you promoted to the master, this decisive battle, it must be our tiger army to take the lead, and I will be in your team at that time, let's join forces to kill thieves and make meritorious contributions!" ”
Liu Jingxuan's brows furrowed, he glanced at the tent behind him, and lowered his voice: "Jinnu, do you know why I asked for this duty task for you today?" I want you to listen to the military discussion inside. Listening to my father, this battle may not be fought directly, and it will be withdrawn to Guangling. ”
Liu Yu's mouth opened wide, and his eyes widened: "How can this be, General Hu's five thousand brothers don't care?" He was in a hurry, his voice was a little louder, and a group of patrolling sergeants ten paces away also looked over.
Liu Jingxuan hurriedly made a gesture of pressing down with both hands, and said in a deep voice: "Jinnu, the voice is quieter, after all, this is a military discussion, besides, General Huan Yihuan is angry, ............ you listen?"
Huan Yi's always calm voice in the tent was raising his voice and said sharply: "Do you think I am willing to throw Hu Bin and Shouchun City away?" This is my territory in Yuzhou, the army under my rule, and the people under my rule, if you want to say that the loss is big, who can be bigger than me? But it's because I'm too familiar with this place, so I emphasize again that we must not fight the enemy here, and if we lose, we won't even have the capital to retreat to Jiangdong! ”
Xie Xuan said in a deep voice: "General Huan, the matter is not so serious, our army is coming as a whole, morale is high, although Shouchun is lost in the enemy's internal army, but the main force of our army is not damaged, the enemy army has come from the north for a long time, and it has long been exhausted, the attack and defense of Shouchun City has lasted for a long time, giving the enemy a lot of casualties, their elite Diren troops have become tired soldiers, don't be intimidated by their numbers, as long as we continue to hold here, the enemy's momentum will gradually decline, and our reinforcements will continue to come, and finally when the time is ripe, It's time to fight back. ”
A thin old man over fifty years old, with gray hair, wearing a leather armor, and holding a jade Ruyi in his hand, looks like a military general, but seems to be a Qing talk civil official, it is Xie An's fourth brother, Xie Xuan's uncle Xie Shi, this expedition, Xie Xuan led 30,000 elite troops of the Beifu Army as the main force of the Chinese army, Xie Yan led 20,000 backbone troops of the Beifu Army as the left army, Xie Shi and Huan Yi led 30,000 Jiangnan Su guards and horses and Yuzhou soldiers and horses as the right army.
Xie Shi hooked the corners of his mouth and said: "Marshal, the problem now is that the strength of our army is the current 80,000 horses, and there are still 5,000 people and horses, that is, Hu Bin's troops are trapped in the Kip stone camp on the side of Luojian, and they can't last two days, that is to say, we have to use these more than 70,000 troops to fight against the 300,000 troops of the Qin army to rescue Hu Bin, everyone knows that this is an impossible task, such as driving sheep into the tiger's mouth, there is no return." ”
Xie Yan's brows tightened, and he said in a deep voice: "What Xie Youshuai said is unreasonable, what Deputy Marshal Huan said just now is that the terrain is unfavorable to our army, and it can barely be admitted, after all, Luojian has been controlled by Liang Cheng's department, and if our army wants to attack, it must cross the river and attack, and the art of war is unfavorable." But even if our army has more than 70,000 people, relying on strong camps, even if it does not attack, it is enough to defend. Although the Qin army is numerous, it is difficult to storm our army's camp. And after a long time, their morale will drop, and the soldiers will think about returning, if we retreat here, we are afraid that the army will collapse all the way, and when we reach Guangling, there will not be many troops left. ”
Huan Yi shook his head: "Xie Zuoshuai, let me repeat, these 300,000 troops are just the vanguard of the enemy's army, according to our detailed report, they have thousands of reinforcements arriving every day, I heard that Na Fu Jian has made a bloody investment this time, mobilized a million troops, and our 80,000 horses have almost mobilized all the battleable soldiers from the north and south of the river." The pressure on the Huan clan in Jingzhou was also very great, and even the 3,000 men and horses who came to aid Jiankang were transferred back, and it was impossible to send reinforcements at this time. ”
"Now that Shouchun is lost, it is the Qin army's Jingzhou and Huainan two major theaters of contact to open up, their Jingzhou army can reinforce the Shouchun front line along the waterway, according to the latest horse exploration report, the 50,000 horses of Murong Chui's department have also been quickly assembled in the direction of Shouchun, and the troops of Longyou and Guanzhong, after arriving in Luoyang, will also directly drive here. In two months, we will not only face these 300,000 Qin troops, but at least 500,000, or even 600,000. May I ask Xie Zuoshuai, can we continue to fight at that time? ”
Xie Yan gritted his teeth: "The more people the Qin army has, the more difficult it will be to supply grain and grass, I don't believe that they can support it for a long time!" As long as we hold on for another three months, the Qin army will definitely not be able to hold on first! ”
