Chapter 458: The Old Man Doesn't Ambush (2)

"It's Jiang Boyo in person? Dongyang Chen Qian is polite! ”

"Tianshui Jiang Wei, I've seen Brother Xiu Yuan. I have admired the name for many years, and I finally saw it today, and I really deserved to be white. ”

Outside the city of Gauntland, 40,000 cavalry and nearly 100,000 war horses were divided into two teams, and their formations stretched hundreds of meters each, and the depth reached hundreds of meters. All of a sudden, the wind blows and hunts, and the flag is unfurled, and it looks extremely spectacular on the vast plain.

But now, 40,000 knights all coincidentally restrain their horses under their crotches. There was as little noise as possible between the battle formations of both sides. The eyes of countless people and horses were focused on the two old men with pale beards who came out of the crowd.

Glancing at the gall pottery that had been stripped off the two city walls from a distance, Chen Qian arched his hand at Jiang Wei helplessly: "Boyo came so fast!" ”

"Luckily, in the face of the famous Chen Xiuyuan, I don't dare to slack off."

After the two finished greetings, Jiang Wei shook the reins and got closer to Chen Qian: "Brother Xiu Yuan, today's battle situation is clear." Why bother doing useless work? ”

"Heh~ Qian, I don't think the war is clear."

"Hmm." Jiang Wei had no interest in arguing with Chen Qian, but just opened another topic: "Brother Xiu Yuan is expensive this year? ”

"Qian is twenty out of seventy this year."

"Hehehe, it seems that the word Brother Xiu Yuan has not been called wrong. Vi is 71 years old. ”

"Hahaha~~ Boyo, you and I are dying, this big battle is likely to be the last battle between you and me. Therefore, no matter where the war goes, Qian will fight to the end! ”

"Brother Xiu Yuan's words are very reasonable, Wei and Deng Shizai have been fighting fiercely for many years, but unfortunately his opponent in the last battle is not me. This is really a regret in life. If you can have a good fight with Brother Xiu Yuan this time, it will be really comforting. ”

"Good, in the past, Qian and Shi Zhongrong and Deng Shizai were all promoted and reused by Emperor Xuan (Sima Yi) between the end of the micro-month, and now, Deng Shizai has been killed for many years, and Shi Zhongrong also died of illness on the bed last year. Qian sometimes wakes up in the middle of the night, only to feel sadness coming from it. In this battle, I hope you and I have no regrets! ”

"Yes, yes. In the past, Cao Mengdeyun was an old man with ambitions of thousands of miles. Hehehe, the old horse can't run anymore, leaning next to the manger and imagining the glory of galloping the world in the past, how sad it is. Brother Xiu Yuan, it was rude to persuade you to give up earlier. You and I are dying people, I hope that in this battle, we can add the last touch of color to our last life! ”

"Honestly, Beryo, take your leave for now, and please take care."

"Farewell, take care!"

Soon after the two men returned to their respective positions, the cavalry on both sides began to turn one by one, and then slowly retreated. Only the officials and citizens in the city were left in a trance.

"General, now that the gall city wall has been destroyed, where will our army go?"

"Well, take the map."

Soon, the guards around him handed over the map, and Chen Qian hurriedly glanced at it on the war horse and said: "Order the whole army, go south, we will go to Ren County." ”

"Ren County?"

"However, according to the intelligence of Jin Cao Cao, the main force of this Han army is between 40,000 and 60,000, of which cavalry is the mainstay. As for our army, it was 80,000 infantry and 20,000 cavalry. In terms of mobility, our army is inferior to the Han army, but when it comes to the ability to attack fortifications, at least this Han army is extremely limited. Therefore, since the gall pottery located in the traffic artery cannot be guarded, then we will find another county seat. Moreover, compared with the gall pottery located in the north of the mainland, there are three rivers flowing alternately on the side of Ren County, plus the depression formed by the mainland. The cavalry of the Han army could be limited to the maximum. ”

"General Takami, I'll get it. Just ......"

"Just what?"

"The general Rong Yu, the gall to the west, is the Zhao State. Now King Zhao is sitting in Yecheng and is in charge of the logistics of our army...... If we give up the gall pottery, it will cause Zhao Guo to have a mishap......"

"Humph! The old man was played by Lu Kang's husband because of the blind command of King Runan. Now that the defense of this gall city is gone, if 100,000 people are stationed here, there are so many new recruits in this Chinese army, once it is broken through by the enemy cavalry, it is impossible to say that our army will collapse as a whole...... We and other warriors, since we are on the battlefield, we should think of victory in everything. Don't think about this mess! In the final analysis, this is a life-and-death battle related to the Great Jin Dynasty, could it be that King Zhao, who is a member of the royal family, would dare to cut off the old man's military rations because of this trivial matter? The whole army immediately went south, sent a herald, and let the infantry behind stop advancing after arriving in Ren County, and immediately strengthen the city defense! ”

"Whoa!"

And on the other side.

"General, where is our army going now?"

"Hehehe, now, of course it's a retreat to the north."

"Uh...... Where to retreat? ”

"Take the map...... Well, let's retreat to Yang's County, which is forty miles away from the gall pottery. There awaited the follow-up units of our army. ”

"Command!"

The heralds went to convey Jiang Wei's order, but Zhao Tong and the others gathered around Jiang Wei and did not walk away.

"General, what do you think of Chen Xiuyuan's backhand?"

"Hehehe, Chen Xiuyuan, when the world is good. Of course, such a person will be very aware of his own strengths and weaknesses. In my opinion, since the gall is not easy to defend, then he has to retreat south, well, it is estimated that he will be stationed in Ren County. ”

"General, although the city wall of Gall was destroyed, the enemy army had to retreat south to find a strong city to garrison. However, our army is not strong enough after all, and as long as the enemy army enters a city, no matter how low the walls of that city are, it will be difficult for our army to take it. ”

"Well, Boji is right. Therefore, our army cannot take the initiative to attack the city. I intend that after we retreat to the Yang clan, we can just scatter the cavalry and monitor Chen Xiuyuan's movements at all times. As long as he doesn't go north to try to repair the walls of the gall, we don't have to fight him right away. ”

"The general is smart, uh, the last general has another question?"

"Birch, please."

"If our reinforcements have not arrived, then Chen Xiuyuan will lead the main force to the north?"

"Hehehe, Chen Xiuyuan won't be so stupid. Our military aircraft is so much more powerful than the other party, how could he be stupid enough to take the initiative to attack us? What he can do is to be stationed in Jizhou, so that the families of Youji will have thoughts in their hearts, so that they will not completely fall to us. Then, although the grain route of our army has been unblocked, the grain from Chang'an has to be transported over, and the journey is too long. However, it is relatively fast for Luoyang to transport grain. Therefore, if the confrontation continues for a long time, our army is likely to run out of food in advance! ”

"Huh? Why is this horseman so unambitious? Do you want to learn from Sima Yi to deal with us like Sima Yi rubbed the prime minister away in the past? ”

"Hehehe, this is the magic weapon that the Sima family relies on to survive. Looking at Chen Xiuyuan's past achievements in Jingzhou and Yangzhou, although he can win at least eighty percent of the ten battles. However, its command is basically to defend solidly and consume the enemy's strength...... In a word, there is almost no sense of amazement. This is completely different from Deng Shizai's style. It can be said that he is the true biography of Sima Yi. It's just that at this time and at that time, the current Jin State is not the pseudo-Wei of the past, and the current Han is not the former Han. In this battle, the old man will win! ”
