Chapter 695: Mastering the Battle Situation

Now that the situation on the entire battlefield has been very clear, with the heralds running back and forth, and his own observations, Qin Mu has long been aware of it.

At present, Prince Chu has two choices on his side, the first is to order Zhang Miao, with 200,000 troops, desperately, to rush and kill with all his strength and tear apart the enemy's defense line! As long as this hole is torn open, the whole thing is alive.

Second, it is to order the remaining 200,000 troops to respond to Zhang Miao from the left and right, decisively withdraw the troops, and withdraw from the enemy's encirclement.

After thinking about it for a moment, Wen Cheng ordered: "Decree Zhang Miao! Make him attack with all his might! Be sure to tear through the enemy lines! ”

However, after another hour, it was nearly evening, and the herald galloped again, dismounted and said: "General, General Zhang's headquarters have not been able to attack for a long time, our army has been weak, and the enemy's encirclement has become more and more tight......

Ah! Hearing this, Wen Cheng suddenly panicked, his eyes widened, he had no idea on the spot, he couldn't help but look at Qin Mu, and asked him what he meant with his eyes.

Seeing this, Qin Mu pretended not to see it, let alone express any opinions.

Prince Chu looked at the sky first, and then said worriedly: "General Qin, now that the sun is setting in the west, the sky is almost dark, if you continue to fight, I am afraid that the whole army will be in danger of annihilation, you see ......."

Qin Mu said in a flat voice: "In this battle, General Wencheng commands the overall situation, and it is up to him to decide." ”

Hearing this, Prince Chu was anxious, and when Wen Cheng saw this, he no longer hesitated, but immediately said to the herald: "Quick! Mingjin! Orders were given to General Yu and General Du to cover General Zhang's retreat! ”

"No!" The herald was given the order to go.

Qin Mu secretly shook his head.

If it was him, since he had decided to use troops like this, he would inevitably fight to the end, regardless of whether it was already dark or not, but Prince Chu did not know how to soldier, and Wen Cheng did not have the ability to command an army of 400,000.

What's more, Prince Chu was too afraid that he would be wiped out, and the team he had finally pulled up made him not have the momentum of breaking the boat!

He may be a good monarch, but he will never be a military strategist.

The sound of gold soon sounded, and the prince of Chu retreated, and then, Duan Ping ordered the iron cavalry to chase and kill, and the prince of Chu lost his armor and fled in a hurry......

After the battle, the Prince of Chu inspected the men and horses, losing more than 30,000 troops, and Wen Cheng was even more depressed, looking faceless to face the Prince of Chu.

However, the Prince of Chu, although he can't fight, he is not a faint king, and his majesty also has a set, and there is a point that a superior must have, that is, to unite people's hearts, otherwise, he will be defeated in battles outside Weicheng, and this group of people and horses will have been scattered a long time ago.

The Great Tent of the Chinese Army.

The generals all lowered their heads slightly, and many of them still had blood stains on their armor before they had time to clean it, Prince Chu first looked around, and then asked in a condensed voice: "How long can our army's food and grass last?" ”

This is also the problem he is most concerned about at present, if he does not break Weicheng again, his own side must retreat, instead of going forward to attack the city.

Wen Cheng replied: "It is still available for January." ”

"Hey!" Prince Chu couldn't help but sigh.

At this time, Qin Mu subconsciously asked, "Dare to ask Your Highness, is there something wrong with the rear supply line?" ”

Prince Chu shook his head and said: "It's not a problem in this regard, but when the rebels were defeated and retreated, all the granaries in the city were looted by them, and there was no food available in the rear city. ”

"In other words, within a month, either Weicheng will be breached, or you can only choose to withdraw your troops." Qin Mu asked.

Prince Chu nodded: "Just as the general said." ”

"En......" Qin Mu pondered for a moment and said, "One month, time should be enough." ”

"Oh?" Hearing this, Prince Chu was suddenly shocked, and hurriedly asked, "What good plan does the general have to break the enemy?" ”

Qin Mu smiled slightly, and said directly: "Before that, His Highness needs to be defeated two more times." ”

"What!?" Prince Chu was shocked, if he was defeated twice again, if he was defeated twice, not only would he have to lose tens of thousands of troops, but I am afraid that when the time comes, the people in the army will be even more panicked!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but say: "General Qin, if you lose again, the morale of our army will inevitably be hit again!" When the time comes, coupled with the problem of food and grass, I am afraid that there will be deserters! ”

"Deserters?" Qin Mu smiled and said quietly: "It's good to be a deserter, with a deserter, you can win." ”

What nonsense is this! When Prince Chu heard this, his eyes immediately widened, and the other generals in the tent looked at Qin Mu like a neuropath.

The latter didn't care, and said to himself: "Your Highness must know that the matter of conquest is noble, and there are not many, if you want to break the enemy, you should find a suitable fighter and win the battle!" ”

When he said this, Prince Chu didn't know anything about military affairs, so he could only stammer: "General Qin, you ......"

"Huh?" Before he finished speaking, Qin Mu said: "Your Highness, please rest assured, you can guarantee that within a month, the enemy army will be broken, so that Your Highness can break through Weicheng!" ”

"Seriously!?" Prince Chu hurriedly asked.

"Your Highness should know that under the orders of my king, how dare you talk nonsense." Qin Mu said.

"Good! That prince is waiting for the general to break the enemy! ”

On the other side, Duan Ping's camp.

For them, this is another big victory, and in the big tent of the Chinese army, all the generals are also full of joy on their faces.

Deputy Marshal Tang Ze even bowed his hand to Duan Ping on the marshal position: "The rebels attacked several times, but they were all severely defeated by the general, and the general's use of soldiers is really heartbreaking for the last general." ”

They and the prince of Chu are both Chu troops, but they all call each other rebels, after Duan Ping heard this, he raised his hand slightly, and said with a smile: "General Tang has an overreputation, although this marshal does not dare to call himself a famous general, but it is not a problem to clean up a group of rebels." ”

To be honest, Duan Ping is actually not a particularly arrogant person, but in recent times, Prince Chu's side has attacked several times, but they have all been defeated, which has also made him gradually contempt, and in the same way, he will look down on Wen Cheng a little.

Not only him, but also the generals under him, a partial general said: "Although the leader of the rebel army is the former prince, the chief general who commands the battle is Wen Cheng, and Wen Cheng, the last general who dealt with him in his early years, is a mediocre talent, and it is impossible for him to be the opponent of the general at all, and now, he is fighting against the general, it is really beyond his strength, hitting the stone with an egg!" ”
