Chapter 759: Retreat
Due to the desperate fighting of the Han army, a day passed, and the Tibetan army still did not capture the camp of the Han army, which made the originally ambitious Garqinling become depressed and ordered to collect troops and return to the camp.
"Brother, why do you want to collect troops?" Yu Bo was very dissatisfied when he saw that Garqinling ordered the troops to be withdrawn, and when he returned to the camp, he angrily questioned Garqinling.
Two of his brothers had died in battle, and he was bent on avenging his brother, so when he heard about the army, he became strongly resentful.
But he saw Garqinling and said: "The Han army has a high fighting spirit, fighting desperately, coupled with the geographical advantage, it is very difficult for our army to capture the camp, even if it is barely captured, it will suffer very heavy losses, and in this case, how can our army resist the attack of Liu He's main force?" This is simply asking for a dead end, so, instead of fighting to the death, it is better to collect the troops, fifth brother, you go and prepare, tonight we will withdraw the troops and go to Subi, I have been operating there for several months, and I have already established a very strong defense system, as long as we stay there, we will definitely be able to stop the pace of the Han army. ”
"What? Are we going to retreat? Yu Bo Yan listened to the words of Garqinling, and suddenly exclaimed, his face turned dark, and he said with a wry smile: "If this is the case, won't we never be able to avenge the third brother and the fourth brother?" ”
Garqinling was silent for a moment, and then sighed faintly: "I can't help this matter, I can't joke with the lives of all the soldiers of the army, right?" Killing one or two Han generals will eventually bring about the fate of extinction, can you afford this kind of responsibility? ”
Yu Bo was also silent for a while after hearing this, and then muttered: "Isn't there any other way for us?" Isn't there anything we can do? ”
Yu Bo's "chanting" is really not in vain, and soon after, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he laughed loudly: "Brother, it's not that there is no way, we can attack the enemy camp at night, the Han army fought for a day during the day, and there must be a lot of casualties, and it is not easy to survive until we collect our troops, we should be in a hurry to celebrate, we must not be guarded, we can easily win by robbing the camp, not only can avenge the third and fourth brothers, but also win this battle, we still have nearly 20,000 people under our command now, and we can force Liu He to retreat, as long as Liu He retreats, We can recover the entire four towns of Hexi, control the Hexi Corridor, share the benefits of the Silk Road with the Han army, and wait a few more years, when our power develops strong enough, we can replace the Han. ”
Originally, Yu Bo thought that he had come up with a brilliant idea, and he believed that he would not only be praised by his brother, but also adopted, so he was quite proud in his heart.
However, he saw Garqinling shaking his head and said, "You can come up with ideas, how can the other party not come up with them?" You must know that Xun You is a well-known think tank in the Han army, full of clever plans, endless, even for my brother I am deeply jealous, according to my expectations, if we really send troops to attack at night, the best result is like a daytime battle, the enemy army is all destroyed, and we will also suffer heavy losses, 20,000 troops can survive two or three achievements are good, so ah, you don't have to think about this matter, for the sake of safety, let's retreat. ”
And the fact is indeed as expected by the Garqin Mausoleum, after the Tibetan soldiers retreated, the whole army was happy, they relied on desperate fighting, after a day of hard fighting, finally forced the enemy to withdraw the army, which made everyone have a feeling of rebirth after the catastrophe.
However, Xun You's next order stopped everyone's joy: "Let the soldiers of the Huotou battalion cook immediately, and after the soldiers have a full meal, rest for an hour, after which the soldiers of the whole army will no longer rest, bow and string, sword unsheathed, and remain on alert, until the arrival of the army of the Son of Heaven, there must be no relaxation, and those who dare to violate the military order will be immediately killed!" ”
Then Li Xunyou sent people to mobilize everywhere: "Don't think that you can relax after winning, after all, we have few people, the enemy army occupies an absolute advantage, if we are not strictly guarded, once the enemy army robs the camp at night or attacks the city during the day, then we will suffer a catastrophe, our lives are not valuable, but once we are defeated, the Son of Heaven will encounter danger, let the Son of Heaven encounter danger, even if we die 10,000 times, it is not enough to atone for our sins." ”
"For today's victory, countless robes have paid the price of their lives, and we are still alive relative to them, which in itself is a thing to celebrate, so what do we have to do if we don't rest?"
"For today's victory, countless robes have paid the price of their lives, we must not let the blood of robes be shed in vain, and we must preserve today's results."
"Now is not the time to rest, after the army of the Son of Heaven returns, Xun Xiang will play the Son of Tomorrow, so that everyone can rest well and rest happily......"
These words of mobilization quickly dispelled the dissatisfaction in the hearts of the soldiers, and made them full of high morale again, silently wiping their swords, and preparing for the next battle......
The whole night passed, the Tibetan soldiers did not launch a sneak attack, but none of the Han soldiers had the slightest complaint, after Xun You's mobilization, they all deeply understood that they must be fully prepared to defend the camp with all their energy and full enthusiasm, the enemy does not come to take the natural best, if the enemy comes, absolutely at all costs, hold this camp.
Therefore, all the soldiers, whether wounded or unwounded, were all in full battle, armed to the teeth, without the slightest slackness.
At this time, Xun You, who was in the Chinese military tent, was surprised, he originally thought that this time the other party would definitely launch a sneak attack at night, this was definitely their best opportunity, and it was also their last chance to capture the camp, but he didn't expect the enemy army to come, either the enemy general was too calm and knew that this was not an opportunity, or the enemy general was too stupid to think of the night attack.
Of course, Xun You would not think that the enemy general was stupid, so he immediately judged that the enemy general was definitely a genius whose wisdom was no less than his own, and although his brother died, he was still so calm and frightened that he decisively did not launch a night attack.
"Since he didn't launch a night attack, he will definitely not come during the day, then he will not be stupid enough to passively wait for the situation of being attacked by our army, so I am afraid that there is only one result, that is, the Tibetan army has already retreated."
After thinking about it, Xun You finally came to a bold conclusion, and then ordered the scouts in the army to go to the Tubo camp to visit the situation.
An hour later, the scout reported: "The Tibetan camp is empty, and the suspicion has receded." ”
"Sure enough." Xun You sighed and thought silently: "Your Majesty was right, this Garqin Mausoleum is really a terrible opponent, don't say anything else, just the day before yesterday, it gave me a problem, either I don't save the people, or I will lose part of the army and the generals in the army, no matter what, it will be a great blow to the morale of our army, in this case, if Tubo launches an attack with all its might, it will be absolutely difficult for our army to hold the camp, fortunately, Xue Dingshan and Dou Xiantong came to the rescue in time, and Xue Jinlian came out, The morale of our army has not only not decreased, but has risen even higher, otherwise the consequences will be absolutely unpredictable......"
Thinking of this, Xun You couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and he was even more jealous of the Garqin Mausoleum.
