Chapter 76: Sneak Attack (1)
The seventh day of the withdrawal of the Great Army.
The Turks took advantage of the morning mist to launch a surprise attack on Jinling, and the soldiers in the city put up a stubborn resistance, but the troops were insufficient, and they could not resist the Turkic army at all, and after a quarter of an hour of stubborn resistance, the army began to disperse, and according to Chen Yi's previous plan, all the troops withdrew to the deep mountains fifty miles away.
Qingfeng Ridge is easy to defend and difficult to attack, at this time there is a faint fire on the mountain peak, Luo Xiao is pacing back and forth on the grass, his heart is full of deep worry, there are many soldiers have not returned, once the Turks have detected the traces of the army, although this place is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but the cavalry to catch up must be indispensable for a big battle, if the Turkic army surrounds them, after the grain and grass are used up, there are only two choices, either disarm and surrender, or starve to death.
Since yesterday morning, there has been no time to rest, and the soldiers are already very tired, but fortunately, after resting all night, they have recovered some of their combat effectiveness, and if the enemy pursues them at this time, they can only resist stubbornly. The only favorable condition now is that this place is a hilly area, and everyone is familiar with the terrain, which is not suitable for cavalry combat.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have called you here this time to ask your opinion, if the Turkic enemy army catches up, will we fight or not? If there is a war, it must be a bitter battle, if there is no war? We'll get out of here as soon as possible when our brothers come back. ”
"Major General, we have lost Jinling City, failed His Majesty's entrustment, and have no face to face the people of Jinling, and no face to face the dead brothers."
"Major General......
"Major General, others are afraid, but I am not afraid, my head has a scar the size of a bowl."
To Chenyi's surprise and Luo Xiao's surprise, everyone had the same opinion, and decided to fight to the death with the Turks to avenge their dead comrades. Chen Shaoxuan thought of the scene of his brother who was born and died in front of him, and his heart couldn't help but tremble violently.
Luo Xiao, Chen Shaoxuan, and Chen Yi's own eyes moistened, thinking of the comrades-in-arms who fought side by side with him, how reluctant their voices and appearances were at the moment, and the people present secretly clenched their fists.
Chen Yizou frowned and thought for a while, he was really unwilling, unwilling to let the Turkic soldiers occupy Jinling City in vain and humiliate the people in the city. A bold idea kept being used in his mind. "Brother Luo, generals, I have an idea that I don't know whether to say or not."
Luo Xiao saw that Chen Yi had something to say, and hurriedly said: "Chen Yi, but it doesn't hurt to say it, all of you here are your own brothers." ”
Chen Yi said his thoughts, "I think that the Turkic army must be celebrating its victory at this time, so it is better for us to take advantage of his unpreparedness and take him by surprise at night." Let the Turks know how good we are. As soon as Chen Yi's words were finished, a general stood up and said: "I don't think it's appropriate, if the Turks also have such thoughts, aren't we going to fall into the enemy's treacherous scheme?" ”
