"Nope! The merchant water army has not lost yet. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Although on weekdays, Yan Mo, the deputy general of the Yan Ling Army, and Wu Ji, the general of the Shang Shui Army, did not deal with each other, but at this moment, Yan Mo spoke for the latter: "There are still 'occupy points' on the wall of the Pi Prison Pass, and the Shang Shui Army still has two wells and cars, and they still have a chance." ”

When he said this, he looked at Zhao Hongrun intently.

Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun glanced at the leather prison in the distance, shook his head slightly, and said, "Wei Jiao, blow the horn and tell the Shangshui army to withdraw its troops." ”

"Your Highness?!" Yan Mo exclaimed in surprise.

Hearing this, Qu Cheng, the general of the Yanling Army, frowned and shouted: "Yan Mo, don't be presumptuous!" …… Even if there are still 'occupying points' on the wall, how can the speed of using the ladder to climb compare to the continuous influx of South Korean troops on the wall? If the Shang Shui Army's well car is safe and sound, and the speed of its soldiers climbing the wall is no less than that of the Korean soldiers, but now that the well car has been burned down, relying on the first troops relying on the ladder, do you really think that you can hold those 'occupy points'? ”

Yan Mo opened his mouth, speechless.

In fact, he also understood that after losing the well car, the speed at which the soldiers of Shangshui climbed the wall was not as fast as the speed of the Korean army's support for the wall, which meant that there were more and more Korean soldiers on the wall.

In this case, the Shangshui sergeants on the wall were powerless, and in the end they could only watch their own "occupancy points" being uprooted by the enemy one by one.

"If it's a strong attack......" Yan Mo hesitated for a while, and then sighed secretly.

Because he knew that His Royal Highness King Su in front of him would not agree to the attack, after all, His Highness's way of using troops would never treat the soldiers of the army under his command as useless consumables.

As the saying goes, good iron should be used on the blade, for His Royal Highness King Su, any soldier must be used in a place that can reflect value, even if he dies in battle, he must die in battle.

Therefore, throughout the battles of His Royal Highness King Su, he has never made unnecessary mutual attrition with the enemy's army, either relying on strategy or relying on the advantage of weapons.

Sure enough, after hearing Yan Mo's words, Zhao Hongrun shook his head and said: "The loss of one or two thousand soldiers for a leather prison is barely acceptable to this king, but if it is a loss of five or six thousand or even more soldiers because of this, this king cannot accept it...... Wei Jiao, blowing the horn, told Wu Ji to withdraw his troops. ”

"Yes!"

Zong Wei Chang Wei Jiao nodded, took out the horn from his arms, and blew it.

"Woo——, woo-"

Unlike the impassioned sound of the horn representing the attack, the horn representing the retreat is particularly low.

The generals of the Zhuyan Ling Army looked at Wei Jiao who was blowing the horn with strange expressions, and their feelings were particularly complicated.

In fact, in their opinion, as Yan Mo said, although the South Korean army burned down six wells, the Shang Shui Army still has a certain offensive ability, after all, the Shang Shui Army has only launched two waves of offensives against Pigao Pass, with less than 2,000 infantry and only a few hundred casualties, and there are still at least 5,000 infantry still in the rear of the array, and there is no lack of strength in a battle.

It's just that if there is only a cloud ladder to attack Pigao Pass, then the casualties and losses after the battle may not be the predicted point, and it is likely to be several times the casualties.

According to conservative estimates, at least five or six thousand soldiers had to be killed in battle.

And such a loss, they may accept it, most of the generals in the world may accept it, but His Royal Highness King Su in front of them will not accept it.

This reminded them of what His Royal Highness King Su had said to them: in order to win the victory, the king can only let his soldiers go to the battlefield to die, but at the very least, the king will make every soldier who dies on the battlefield worthwhile.

This is also the reason why the generals of the Shang and Yan Ling armies, who were born in the Chu people, were loyal to a certain Su Wang His Royal Highness, who was obviously a Wei people, because this Su Wang really regarded them as soldiers of his children, rather than as the generals of the Chu State, who purely regarded soldiers as consumables to win victory.

"Shang Shui Jun...... Troops were withdrawn. ”

Zongwei Mu Qing licked his lips and opened his mouth to break the silence here.

Perhaps sensing that the atmosphere was a little dull, Zuo Qiumu, the 3,000-strong general of the Yanling Army, reluctantly smiled and said, "Correct judgment." …… At this time, the troops are withdrawn, and those Shangshui soldiers on the wall can still retreat with their whole body, at least to minimize the losses; And if it is delayed any longer, and when the Han soldiers continue to pour onto the city wall and drag down those Shangshui soldiers who have climbed the wall, then those soldiers will have no way to get out. ”

"yes, yes." Zuo Xunxi, who is also a 3,000-strong general, also echoed: "Although it was not a complete success, this battle was a small victory for the merchant and naval forces to kill several times the Han army." ”

"That's right...... If you see it, you will accept it, and you will see it slowly. ”

"Don't forget, there are still thousands of crossbowmen of the Han army on the side of Yishan, if it is delayed for a long time, this crossbowmen rush back to Pigao Pass to support, and the losses of the Shangshui army will be more than hundreds......"

The generals of the Yanling Army present said one after another.

I have to say that the relationship between the Yan Ling Army and the Shang Shui Army is indeed very complicated, and the competition between them is fierce, but there is also a sense of both prosperity and loss.

Just like Yan Mo wanted to stop Zhao Hongrun from making the Shang Shui army retreat, he also didn't want the Shang Shui Army to be defeated at Pigao Pass and defeated in front of the Han army - except for their Yan Ling army, they did not allow any army to defeat the Shang Water Army.

In turn, the attitude of the Shang Shui Army towards the Yan Ling Army was the same.

After a long time, Yan Mo let out a long breath and said to Zhao Hongrun: "Your Highness, now that the surprise attack has failed, how can you capture the leather prison pass?" ”

"I'm thinking about it too."

Looking at the merchant army in the distance from a distance, slowly retreating from Pigao Pass, Zhao Hongrun muttered: "That Jin Huang is really a bit unexpected by this king...... Tsk, a strong man breaks his wrist, it's not simple. ”

Yan Mo pursed his lips, looking a little unimpressed.

Because in his opinion, if it weren't for the fact that His Royal Highness King Su next to him took into account the casualties of the Shang Shui Army, in fact, the Shang Shui Army would still have a chance to conquer Pi Jiao Pass.

Moreover, compared to the 'Smoke and Rain Surprise Attack' of His Royal Highness King Su beside him, what did Han General Jin Huang do? It was nothing more than to ask a group of cavalry to wait for an opportunity to rush out of the pass, and at the expense of burning several wells and cars of the merchant army.

What Kitahara Ten Giants, but that's it.

Thinking of this, Yan Mo said to Zhao Hongrun: "After today's events, it will not be so easy to sneak attack the leather prison pass from the narrow passage of the sheep's intestines. ”

"yes." Zhao Hongrun sighed wistfully, and said with a wry smile: "In this way, you can only start from Yishan Mountain or this Wangwu Mountain......

Hearing this, Yan Mo had an idea and asked, "Your Highness, you said that if you set up a catapult here, can you destroy the leather prison in the distance?" ”

"......" Zhao Hongrun squinted his eyes and visually measured the distance between the mountain he was on and the distant Leather Prison Pass, shook his head and said, "This place is too far from the Leather Prison Pass. …… At least it has to be the mountain. ”

As he spoke, he raised his hand to the east, the third hill from west to east in the area of Wangwu Mountain, which was still under the control of the Korean army.

"That mountain, I'm afraid the South Korean army won't let our army get it easily." Qu Cheng frowned, and then asked, "Doesn't Your Highness think about Yishan?" ”

"Yishan?" Zhao Hongrun shook his head and said, "Yishan Mountain is steep, and it is difficult for catapults to carry it. ”

"No, Your Highness has misunderstood, the last general refers to crossing the Yishan Mountain and going around the back of the leather prison pass. …… The fire on the hill on the eastern side of Yishan has not yet been extinguished, and the ROK army is unable to take care of the western hill, so our army can take this opportunity to build a military camp on the mountain. ”

"What will you build?" Zhao Hongrun asked with a smile.

"Uh......" Qu Cheng was speechless for a moment, and then he remembered that the west hill of Yishan had already been burned by a fire, and the entire mountain was bare, where could there be any wood to build a military camp.

Is it to cut down trees from the forest below the mountain and transport them up the mountain, or to transport timber from Wangwu Mountain?

"Let's go back to Tang County and make plans again."

Zhao Hongrun said with a smile.

So, the group went down to Wangwu Mountain and went straight back to Tang County.

After Zhao Hongrun returned to Tang County, he waited at the outpost in the city for about two hours, and then saw Wu Ji, the general of the Shang Water Army, leading a group of generals to ask for guilt.

I have to say that the generals of the Zhushang Navy who went to war with the army this time are all ugly at the moment.

After all, it was obviously a victory that could be conquered at a very small cost, but they were defeated, although they killed a lot of Korean soldiers during the period, but what a fart? The Leather Prison Pass is still in the hands of the South Korean army.

What's more, the reason why they were able to kill several times the Han soldiers at a very small cost was only because of the clever plan of His Royal Highness King Su in front of them, which had nothing to do with their merchant army to tell the truth, even if they were replaced by the Yan Ling army, they could do it, and even did it better than them.

And in this regard, Zhao Hongrun saw it very openly, after all, in the final analysis, he did not take the Pi Jiao Pass too seriously, and felt that it was unnecessary to sacrifice too many soldiers on this kind of small pass, otherwise, if the Shang Shui Army forcibly attacked at that time, there was still a chance to conquer the Pi Jiao Pass.

"Alright, let's all get up."

Zhao Hongrun comforted the generals of the Zhushang Navy with kind words, and said with a smile: "Don't take the skin prison pass too seriously, the surprise attack will not work, we can use other methods to attack the skin prison pass." …… On the way back, the king already had some clues. ”

Hearing this, the ashamed generals of the Shang Shui Army couldn't help but look at each other on the ground, and were shocked by the resourcefulness of His Royal Highness King Su in front of them.

If you can't make a plan, you can make a plan?

How long has it been?

While the merchants and sailors were stunned, Zong Wei Jiao had already spread the map on the table.

Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun summoned the generals to the front, pointed to the map, and said in a deep voice: "Since the Han general Jin Huang has made up his mind to defend the leather prison pass, then it is enough to bulldoze this pass." ”

"Your Highness wants to use the 'Fierce Fire Oil'?" Wu Ji asked in surprise when he heard this.

Zhao Hongrun gritted his teeth and took a breath, nodded and said: "Now, we can no longer think about the problem of waste and pollution, and this king, as the commander-in-chief, naturally has to give priority to his subordinates." ”

"Your Highness is merciful!" The generals of the merchant and navy clasped their fists and said in unison.

Zhao Hongrun smiled slightly, then pointed to the location of Wangwu Mountain on the map, and said in a deep voice: "Yishan Mountain is steep, and it is difficult to carry catapults up the mountain, but Wangwu Mountain, which is relatively gentle, can. …… Capture this mountain for the king, set up a catapult here, and bulldoze the leather prison! ”

"Yes!" The generals clenched their fists and received their orders.

But immediately, Wu Ji hesitated and said: "However, Your Highness, according to the report of our army's soldiers in Wangwu Mountain, Qing Yao, the general of the Han army, has built military camps and barriers in several steep places on the mountain, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack......

"It doesn't matter."

Zhao Hongrun stretched out his hand to interrupt Wu Ji's words, and Zhengse said: "Just take this opportunity to try another tactical ......"
