Chapter 383: Slipping Away

Gao Yihuan saw that the drawbridge was burned, so he immediately ordered Mingjin to collect his troops and attack the 6,000 soldiers and horses of Yiling, so he retreated directly.

After a period of training, the Wei soldiers have some experience in attacking the city, but if they want to take Yiling Prefecture without being able to enter the city through the city gate, the casualties will be very huge.

In war, in addition to being covered up and killed in the field, the greatest casualties are the initiative to attack fortifications.

When the Qing army went south to the south of the Yangtze River, Yan Yingyuan and Chen Mingren, two heroes, with some Xiangyong and remnants of the Ming Dynasty, defended the small city of Jiangyin for 80 days, blocking the attack of more than 100,000 Qing troops.

Although Gao Yihuan has a sharp weapon in his hands and his soldiers are elite, Sun Kewang has more than 15,000 people after all, and it is not so easy for Gao Yihuan to capture it in one day.

At this time, the soldiers of the Western Army on the city wall, watching the Wei army retreat, instantly let out a cheer.

Sun Kewang looked at the ruined city and saw the corpses all over the city wall, but he was a little frightened.

The first time he attacked, he was almost beaten in, and although the Wei army retreated, he couldn't be happy, but he couldn't say a word.

At this time, he looked at the retreating Wei soldiers, and then looked at the main force of the Wei army that had not moved in the distance, and only after a long time did he let out a long sigh, "Heaven's will is so!" ”

It was night, in the camp of the Wei army, in the big tent of the Chinese army, and in the tent, many generals of the Wei Wu army were talking about the battle during the day.

", if it weren't for the fire on the drawbridge, I would have broken the city gate today!" Zhao Zhuzi looked angry, obviously unwilling to fight today.

He had a bandage on one of his arms and hung around his neck, and the eyebrows on his face were burned out, and he had many burns on his body, and he almost confessed to the fire.

Gao Yihuan waved his hand to silence everyone, "Today, many soldiers have attacked the city, and the city gate has almost been taken, which shows that our training is indeed useful!" I, the soldiers of the Wei Wu Army, are indeed the strongest army in the world. ”

Gao Yihuan first appeased, and then immediately changed his words, "But if you don't capture it, you haven't captured it, and you don't want to make excuses." This little setback, our Wei Wujun can still bear it, it's not a big deal, as long as we summarize the reasons today, we will attack it next time! ”

Zhao Daxian hugged his fists and said: "Dashuai, the last general, it seems that the main reason for today's siege is that the soldiers can't continue to climb the city, just relying on the ladder to go to the city, even if there are a hundred people going up, it is difficult to stand on their feet, after all, there are too many soldiers and horses in the city, and the speed at which they go to the city to replenish is much faster than ours." ”

Yiling is a small county town, but there are 15,000 western troops in it, and Sun Kewang's troops are indeed a bit much.

The speed at which the Ming army climbed up the city from the ladder was not as fast as the speed at which the western army ascended the city to support, and even if it occupied a section of the city wall for a while, it was difficult to expand the results of the battle, and it was easy to fight a tragic tug-of-war.

Gao Yihuan bowed slightly, if he wants to break the city, he must have a passage to quickly send men and horses into the city, otherwise he will not be able to offset the strength advantage of the Western Army in the city.

If you can't quickly send troops into the city, the Wei army will be attacked by 5,000 or even nearly 10,000 Western troops if they enter the city, and it will be difficult to defeat the Western army in the city.

Only by opening a passage and sending thousands of people into the city in a short period of time can the will of the Western Army be destroyed.

Usually the way to enter the city quickly is to capture the city gate, but Sun Kewang will definitely strengthen the defense of this area.

Gao Yihuan muttered: "Now it seems that only by digging a tunnel and blowing up a gap, so that the soldiers can enter the city continuously, can we take Yiling Prefecture with relatively small casualties." ”

Gao Yihuan didn't want to waste time, so this plan was directly rejected by him at the beginning.

At this time, he was talking, but Dai Jinghong suddenly picked up the tent and came in, walked quickly to the middle, and said in a panting voice: "Dashuai, Sun Kewang has run away!" ”

"What?" Gao Yihuan rose suddenly, "Mother, this guy was very angry yesterday, he didn't accept Lao Tzu's kindness, and scolded Lao Tzu for having a hole in his brain, looking like he wanted to live and die with Yiling." Why is it that after only one day, the turtle grandson runs? ”

"Dashuai, the brothers who are monitoring found out about the movement and immediately came to report it, Sun Kewang just slipped away in the night!" Dai Jinghong clenched his fists.

There was a lot of discussion in the big tent, but Gao Yihuan took a handsome case, "If you can't pretend, you want to slip away, how can it be so easy, order the army, chase Lao Tzu!" ”

Gao Yihuan gave an order, and the Wei army camp, which had just been silent, instantly became noisy again, and the whole camp lit torches, and long dragons poured out of the camp.

Sun Kewang wanted to defend Yiling and leave a stronghold for the Great Western Kingdom in Huguang.

In this way, there was still the possibility of Daxi Kingdom seizing Huguang to the east, so he refused to take the initiative to withdraw from Yiling, and sneered at Gao Yihuan's suggestion and said cruel words.

Although Gao Yihuan's men and horses are very capable of fighting, Sun Kewang has a lot of soldiers and enough food, and he thinks very highly of himself, so he is not afraid of him.

Sun Kewang originally thought that he was very sure that Gao Yihuan would return in vain, after all, the 50,000 Ming army had been fighting Yiling for a month, and they had not been defeated. It's just that as soon as he fought today, Sun Kewang realized that he couldn't hold on.

Although Gao Yihuan only brought 30,000 people, the elite level of men and horses was not comparable to that of the Ming army.

Before, he felt that he could hold on, but now he knew that he would definitely not be able to hold on, and after Zhang Xianzhong's failure in his expedition to Hanzhong, he couldn't take care of Yiling for a while, so Sun Kewang decided to slip away.

After all, although his ambitions are very ambitious, the prerequisite for realizing them is to live.

Although it seems a bit of a slap in the face to leave now just after he just let out cruel words, what is it to lose some face compared to his life?

In the dark night, Sun Kewang and Feng Shuangli stood on the top of the mountain, watching a team of people below, passing quickly by the moonlight.

Feng Shuangli looked at the retreating Western soldiers in a hurry, and glanced in the direction of Yiling, a little sad.

"Feng Dudu, let's go! Keep the green mountains here, don't be afraid of no firewood! Sooner or later, this king will fight back! Sun Kewang pulled the reins of the horse and said to Feng Shuangli.

Feng Shuangli has some opinions about Sun Kewang, saying that it is you who must not lose Yiling, and it is you who are going to leave now, and there are still green mountains, so fucking you will make excuses, in short, you are justified.

"King, since you want to withdraw, why don't you agree to Gao Yihuan's conditions in advance?" Feng Shuangli couldn't hold back and complained.

Gao Yihuan began to promise to let them withdraw, and also promised to return the family, Sun Kewang had to die, but this fight, he immediately changed his mind and wanted to withdraw.

After tossing around this time, you still have to give up Yiling, so why bother before?

Sun Kewang was riding on a horse, his face was a little ugly when he heard the words, and the muscles on his face twitched, but under the cover of the night, it was difficult for others to see his expression.

Sun Kewang heard Feng Shuangli's complaint, which made him a little annoyed and angry, he didn't appease, but said in a sly voice: "Gao Yihuan is insidious and cunning, do you think what he said can be taken seriously?" This king was actually ready to evacuate a long time ago, but he was afraid that Gao Yihuan would ambush and chase him, so he righteously rejected Gao Yihuan's conditions, making the guy think that this king would defend to the death, but he didn't want this king to evacuate! Do you think we are withdrawing safely now? ”

Feng Shuangli was stunned for a moment, don't say it, Sun Kewang said it very reasonably.

"King, Gao Yihuan is here!" At this moment, a cavalryman suddenly galloped over and made a quick report.

Sun Kewang looked to the east when he heard the words, and saw the fire dragons chasing after him, his expression changed, and he immediately pulled the reins of the horse, and shouted urgently: "Quick, withdraw with this king!" ”
