Chapter 481: Withdrawal and Development
Everyone's hearts were filled with turmoil.
The annihilation of the Western Xia army was already a big deal for them.
But it's such a big thing, and it's a small thing compared to another thing.
So, how big is the other thing?
"General Wuyan, what is this matter about?" Li Xiongfeng asked with a frown.
Li Xiongfeng has always had a calm state of mind in the face of everything.
But one thing just now had already upset his heart.
Now there is a more important thing, which makes Li Xiongfeng have a bad premonition.
"According to the scouts. Reinforcements from the Great Song Dynasty are coming. Wu Yanguang said, sighing, the whole person seemed to be a few years older.
"This is a real reinforcement, a reinforcement of 100,000 horses. This reinforcement is enough to swallow us now. ”
Wu Yanguang said, his tone full of despair.
The tent was quiet again, but this time it was different from the previous one.
This time the silence was accompanied by a thick atmosphere of sadness.
After a while, there were some voices in the tent.
"I... Did we really fail? ”
"That's how we failed... Failed. ”
"100,000, we only have 30,000 now... It's just not going to be beatable. ”
"Are we going to retreat?"
......
Some people are full of disbelief and reluctance.
But no matter how unwilling they are, the truth is so cruel that they are desperate.
After a while, Wu Yanguang said slowly.
"It's come to this point, there's nothing more to say. My suggestion is to withdraw the troops. I don't know if you have any better opinions. Wu Yanguang said this sentence with difficulty.
Withdrawing troops, it's a shame.
He wanted to remove the shame, but he couldn't, so he had to do it.
The withdrawal of troops may also save the lives of these people.
There was still silence in the tent.
Another moment passed.
"Then retreat." Li Xiongfeng stood up and said.
After Li Xiongfeng finished speaking, he left directly.
Because there's no need to stay here without him.
"Let's all get out." Wu Yanguang waved his hand weakly and said.
The generals wanted to comfort Wu Yanguang, but they didn't know what to say.
One by one, they could only sigh and leave.
Almost half an hour passed, and Yang Zaixing came back with his cavalry as quickly as possible.
And when he returned, he saw the enemy pulling out the tents.
Yang Zaixing and the others were all stunned for a moment, and then all of them showed happy expressions on their faces.
The soldiers immediately returned to the city, and then began to run to tell everyone the news of the enemy's retreat.
All the people rejoiced, and the boulder that weighed on their hearts was finally gone.
The enemy retreated, and it felt like the sky in Jinghai County was much bluer.
Almost another hour has passed.
Song Jiang and others also returned.
When they returned, the enemy had already begun to retreat.
Song Jiang and the others were also very happy, and then hurried back to Jinghai County to carnival with these people.
Wu Dalang was in his room, came to the window, and looked at everything outside, which was also very gratifying.
He finally held Jinghai County.
Then the development of Jinghai County has been unstoppable, and the take-off of Zhigu Village is also an inevitable trend.
A blueprint automatically appeared in Wu Dalang's mind.
But before the blueprint could grow, there was a knock at the door.
"Come in." Wu Dalang said.
Jian Ying pushed the door and entered, coming to Wu Dalang's side.
"Boss, Song Jiang, Yang Zaixing and others are in the conference room, they want you to go to the meeting." Sword Shadow said.
Wu Dalang: "......"
Wu Dalang's face shook, are these people devils? How can a subordinate call the boss to a meeting.
It's rare to see subordinates who like to have meetings, and since they like meetings so much, he, the boss, naturally wants to satisfy them.
"Let's go. I'd like to hear if they have any requirements for me. Wu Dalang said and walked towards the conference room with Jian Ying.
Wu Dalang walked into the conference room and sat down in his usual seat.
"Tell me, what do you want to say for a meeting with me?" Wu Dalang pouted and asked.
"My lord, now that the enemy army has retreated, I think we should take advantage of the victory and pursue it." Yang Zaixing stood up and said excitedly.
Wu Dalang pouted speechlessly and continued.
"So, next, who else has a problem."
Not to be outdone, Song Jiang stood up.
"My lord, please let me take a team of men and horses to pursue the enemy."
"Yes, pursue the enemy. Let them have no return. ”
"These people are too arrogant, now it's our turn to hunt them down."
......
Everyone in the conference room was as excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.
Wu Dalang is speechless, what a group of irritable people, how can they know how to fight and kill all day long? ?
"Alright, alright. Everybody be quiet. Wu Dalang said slowly.
As soon as Wu Dalang's voice came out, these people quickly closed their mouths, but their eyes still shone brightly.
These guys are still obsessed with the pursuit.
Wu Dalang knew that if he didn't say a reason, these people might not give up.
In order to dispel their thoughts, Wu Dalang explained.
"There is a good saying, the poor do not chase. Now that the enemy forces are retreating, I don't think we should pursue them. There are several reasons for this. ”
"First, the enemy army outnumbered us. We can only have 10,000 men in the battle, but the enemy should have more than 30,000 more. Where did you get the courage to think that we can fight one against three? Even if you could, but not the ordinary soldiers, you would only harm them. ”
"Second, even if the enemy retreats, wouldn't they have thought that we would pursue them? They will definitely set up an ambush, and if we pursue, it will only be a sheep's mouth. In the end, it is we who suffer. ”
"Third, the war has just ended, and we should focus more on development than on fighting and killing."
"Do you understand?"
"Understood." All the generals in the conference room shouted loudly.
After Wu Dalang's analysis, they also knew that they were indeed a little hot just now.
"Good. Then I'll give you some tasks, lest you be too idle. ”
"Now that the walls have been built, there is no need to worry about the walls. Now it's time to focus on shipbuilding. At the same time, the lake should be enlarged and made into a grand canal with direct access to the sea. ”
"That's the most important thing in recent times. Of course, the study of military bases is also business as usual, and there is also a need to increase the production of reinforced concrete. ”
"Also, I promised the workers in the cement factory that they would build their houses into reinforced concrete houses first, and this can be done first."
"That's all for now, if there's no problem, let's get busy."
......
After Wu Dalang finished speaking, everyone also got busy.
