Chapter 79: Triumph
"Lord Commander, after two days of fierce fighting, our army has suffered more than 70,000 casualties, and on the side of the Feng Army, the counterattack is even sharper...... Let's quit the army......"
In the barbarian tent, not only Bliss has already planned to retire, but many of the generals under him have already begun to retreat.
"Retreat!?" Another general shouted angrily: "Fart! Our warriors have lost so many of them! How can you easily withdraw at this time! ”
"If we fight for another day, our army still can't break through the Wuguan, and it will only increase casualties, and then our army will not have enough food and grass, what should we do!?"
"Although our army suffered heavy casualties in today's siege, compared to yesterday, our warriors are less than two steps away from the city! If you fight for another day, you will definitely be able to break through the martial arts! ”
The generals in the tent, you and I are arguing, and the first two of Bliss are arguing, he slapped the handsome case hard, and yelled irritably: "Don't quarrel anymore!" ”
He was the commander-in-chief of the barbarian army, and when he was angry, all the generals in the tent suddenly shut up, and hurriedly retreated to their original positions one by one, bowing their heads slightly and being silent.
The general just said that he was only two steps away from attacking the city, but to Briss's ears, it was ridiculous. In an offensive and defensive battle of such a scale, as long as there is no vacancy in the defense, let alone two steps, even half a step, I don't know how many lives are needed to fill it!
He looked around at everyone, sighed secretly, and said helplessly: "Our food and grass supply is insufficient, and we can't attack for a long time, and the army's heart is shaken. ”
After a pause, he continued: "And now, our troops are less than 130,000......
The meaning of his words is already obvious.
On the battlefield of ancient cold weapons, if you want to storm a well-defended city and fight a tough battle head-on, you have to be three times as strong as the enemy! This is still in the case of large siege equipment as an auxiliary, and the besieging side is also the hardest!
When he came, Bliss thought that he was seven times the enemy, and now that he had to reassess the strength of both sides after two great battles, he soon had a plan in his mind.
There is no doubt that if this war continues, unless we can break through the military barrier in a battle tomorrow, the army will run out of food, the soldiers will suffer heavy casualties, and the morale of the army will be greatly disturbed.
But one more day of fighting, will you be able to break through the military barrier? Even Bliss himself felt that this was impossible.
"But my lord, when I set out on the expedition, I boasted in front of His Majesty the King, and now, this ...... How do you explain it when you go back? The general, who suggested continuing the assault, said.
"Hey." Blis sighed, looked at him and said: "Based on all the conditions, our army can no longer fight, in addition, this expedition, almost half of my Tusi warriors have been recruited, these young sons, if all of them die under Wuguan City, I ...... How can I explain to the country! ”
Briss can achieve the position of national commander, high power, but not a selfish person, he knows very well that after he returns home, he will definitely be severely punished by King Tus, but he will not because of this, regardless of the life and death of all the soldiers, and desperately continue to fight.
"Commander, if you don't, let's fight again! Just once! ”
"Say no more! I've made up my mind! Tomorrow after breakfast, the army retreats to Tus! ”
The barbarian army retreated, and the wind troops on Wuguan City cheered up and down, but Lu Chen did not take it lightly, he was worried that this was a deceit by the barbarian army, and its purpose was to make his own side unprepared.
This time, he was not in a hurry to hold a celebration banquet, but held on to Wuguan for a few days, and after making sure that the barbarian army was really retreating, he decided to leave 10,000 soldiers who had not participated in the city defense before to continue to stay in Wuguan, and he took the rest of the wind army and led the army back to the city.
The next day, when the news reached the border city, the people of the city were no longer as skeptical as they had been the first time, but they were filled with lights and cheers......
When Lu Chen rode a tall horse and led the border army into the city, the petals in the sky were thrown into the air from the flower baskets in the hands of the people, and the two sides of the street were full of border city people who came to watch......
Lu Chen, as the commander of the border city, personally commanded this battle and repelled 200,000 barbarian enemies, so he naturally became the focus of everyone's attention.
At this time, he was wearing armor, hanging a war sword on his waist, wearing a big coat behind him, sitting on a war horse, majestic, no longer the kind of handsome boy temperament when wearing brocade clothes, but more of a man's heroic spirit.
When he appeared, the people were obviously agitated, and many people rushed forward, causing the soldiers who were maintaining order on both sides of the street to raise their halberds and desperately stop everyone.
"Little ...... Childe, you see, that Lord Lu is so majestic, and besides, he looks much more heroic in battle armor than when he went to our mansion before......" In the crowd, a 'young man' who was small but dressed as a scholar said.
Beside him, there was a handsome boy dressed in brocade, dressed in white, holding a folding fan, and extremely handsome. He was tiptoeing and looking out into the middle of the street.
These two people are Xue Ling and the maid Xiaocui who sneaked out of the Qinghe County Mansion.
Hearing this, a flash of brilliance flashed in Xue Ling's beautiful eyes, but she muttered: "What is heroic or not, it's not a nose and two eyes, hmph, does he have a chic son?" ”
Miss is really duplicitous! Looking at her appearance, it's like I'm afraid that I won't see each other! Xiao Cuiqiang couldn't help laughing, she was just about to say something more, but at this time, she suddenly found that not far from the two of them, several men in strong suits appeared.
The men had sharp eyes, scanning back and forth in the crowd, tiptoeing as if looking for something.
Seeing these people, Xiao Cui's face turned pale, and she quickly pulled Xue Ling's sleeve and whispered, "Gong...... Childe, the master has already sent someone out to find us, what should we do? ”
"Oh?" Hearing this, Xue Ling followed Xiao Cui's point, and glanced at the few men in strong suits, at this time, the other party seemed to have discovered Xue Ling, and the eyes of several people suddenly lit up, and then they all surrounded Xue Ling.
"Oops, they ...... They're coming, miss, let's ...... Let's go back......"
At this time, Xiaocui is no longer called Xue Linggongzi, she can imagine that this time she accompanied the young lady to sneak out without permission, if she was caught by the master, she didn't know how to clean her up!
"Don't panic, I have my own way." Xue Ling couldn't do it, and when she spoke, her beautiful big eyes moved, and then she aimed at Lu Chen, who was passing by the street in front of her.
