Chapter 624: The Battle of Haihuai XVI
Because Ling Xia saw the opportunity early, and he was the one who grabbed the hand before Win Qiankun, so he has been occupying the advantage and initiative in the past few days, the war has been open for four days and four nights, and the two million soldiers and horses led by Win Qiankun have been killed more than half, while Ling Xia's side has only lost more than 300,000 soldiers.
But just when Ling Xia led his troops to fight in full swing, suddenly, Ji Mo ran over to report: "Master Ma, it's not good, Hou Junyao has led his troops to kill eighty miles away from our city, because he came from the internal defense area, so our spies have detected the enemy's whereabouts, according to the spies, the troops led by Hou Junyao are a corps, and it is expected to be able to kill our city in the evening." ”
"What? From the inner city? Impossible? With Lu Jianxing and Xia Yuanlan guarding the middle lane, how could Hou Junyao cross the inner defense area? After hearing this news, Ling Xia was taken aback, frowned and thought for a moment, he immediately summoned Ruan Moxuan and Pan Futian: "You also heard it just now, the enemy army is coming from the flank, if we continue to stay here, we will definitely be wiped out."
I order you two to lead 1.6 million soldiers to retreat from the rear line, the inner defense line that Hou Junyao walked to, you retreat to the rear line, bypass Hou Junyao's troops from the mountain road, there must be something wrong with the Zhongcheng side, so you can't stay there, you immediately go straight to the border of Xixiu Province, find a way to meet Si Qikong's soldiers and horses, and when you get there, you do this......"
Ling Xia quietly instructed Ruan Moxuan and Pan Futian, and after speaking, he asked everyone to lead the team to leave, but for Ling Xia's order, the two refused to carry it out, because once they led the soldiers and horses to leave, Ling Xia only had 100,000 soldiers on his side, although Ying Qiankun lost half of his troops, but there were still a million soldiers, and Ling Xia's troops could not withstand the opponent's attack at all.
Ruan Moxuan and Pan Futian had to replace Ling Xia to stay in the city, and when they saw the two of them fighting for me, Ling Xia suddenly became angry: "What are you robbing?" Do you think I'm willing to stay here and stop the enemy? It's not that I don't want to go, but I can't go, Ying Qiankun hates me to the core, he has been staring at me these days, if I stay here and bluff, I may be able to drag Ying Qiankun until the evening.
But if I don't show up for a long time, Ying Qiankun will definitely find the abnormality, once he launches a desperate siege, can you stop him? Don't forget, after our main force is transferred, there will only be 100,000 people left in this city, if the city is broken by Win Qiankun, then he will lead his troops to pursue, if he pursues the main force, then we will not be far from the destruction of the whole army. ”
After speaking, Ling Xia forced Pan Futian and Ruan Moxuan to leave, under Ling Xia's constant urging, the two had to order their troops and horses to move towards the rear mountain range, and when Ruan Moxuan and they led the main force to leave, Ling Xia glanced around, he sent the remaining more than 100,000 soldiers to the city wall, taking advantage of the temporary truce, he asked everyone to put all the flour in the canteen into the wine jar.
After the soldiers filled the flour, he asked the soldiers to carry the jars filled with flour on the city wall, and after a while, hundreds of thousands of jars were placed side by side on the city wall, because of the shortage of medicinal materials, so Ling Xia was no longer equipped with hemp clothes, among these jars, only two jars were filled with hemp powder, and half of the flour was mixed in this way.
Ling Xia had used flour to pretend to be a hemp suit to bluff his opponent once, he planned to repeat his old tricks this time, and use these flours to drag Ying Qiankun, at this time it was only early in the morning, and there were still six hours before the evening, looking at these jars with flour in front of him, Ling Xia secretly beat the drum, and said in his heart: "Strange? Why is there so little bottom in my heart? ”
