Chapter 102: Retreat to Montenegro

As soon as they heard the sound of the horn, the generals of the Han army breathed a sigh of relief.

It's finally here.

Many people are scared when they walk at night, for what? It's not because the night is scary, it's because you can't see what's in the night. The Han army had been "unable to see anything" before, and two very stupid bridges that were broken down in a row made everyone wonder why, and they didn't know what the Eastern Hu Army was going to do. That's what scares people. Now, since the Donghu Army is here, no matter how terrible it is, it is only the Donghu Army, which is better than never knowing where the other party is and what to do.

"Alert!" Fang Jinhai ordered, "The whole army is deployed, ready to meet the attack, and the left and right sides are forward...... Wrong! Fang Zhenhai cried out in a lost voice.

No one needs Fang Zhenhai to explain what is wrong with Lu, because everyone has seen what General Fang will call "wrong" for Lu.

Straight ahead, right front, smoke and dust are billowing and flags are waving. It's not 5,000 Donghu troops who came, it's not 10,000, look at the formation, at least more than 30,000 people!

If it is to defend the city and defend it, or to fight in the mountains and hills, the Han army alone can withstand the two people of the Donghu army, but if it fights in the plains, the larger the scale of the battle, the more powerful the Donghu army will be. At this time, the Han army had 30,000 people, of which the cavalry was only 5,000, and the Donghu army was more than 30,000, and more than eighty percent were cavalry. Not to mention winning, it is difficult to protect yourself. If the Han army had time to set up the camp fence, it could resist for a while, but where would the time to set up the camp fence now?

Objectively speaking, this can actually be regarded as Fang Zhenhai's mistake, because he didn't expect that the Donghu Army would have so much, if he expected that the Donghu Army would have such a huge strength, and the army would barely have time to defend the fence with the barracks, but who would have thought that the Donghu Army would actually rush out so directly, and it would have such a huge military force?

Fang Zhenhai's forehead immediately saw beads of sweat.

"The whole army is lined up in a phalanx!" He hurriedly ordered, "Send a hundred-man team up directly and to the right to see if the enemy is running with a tree branch?" ”

He hoped that this was a ploy by the Donghu army to scare people, tying branches to the horse's tail and disguising it as a huge army, but looking at the position of the flag, this possibility was only unlikely.

The two hundred-man team received the order, and before they could form the team, Fang Zhenhai's order came again: "Stop reconnaissance!" ”

Because there is no need to reconnoiter now, the Donghu army is getting closer and closer, although it cannot be said that it is very close, but it is enough to see that these smoke and dust are by no means camouflaged.

The troops in front of Donghu and on the right were constantly approaching, and Fang Zhenhai's face was getting whiter and paler.

"The whole army retreats to the left," Fang Zhenhai finally ordered, "retreat to Montenegro!" ”

"General Fang!" Wei Changfeng shouted, "The enemy seems to be forcing us to retreat to Montenegro!" ”

During this time, Wei Changfeng was also frightened, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that something was wrong.

None of this is right. Broken bridges, far more than the expected number of enemy troops, these are not right. This is not like the previous Donghu Army, this way of fighting makes him feel very awkward.

In the past, in the face of the Donghu army, whether he attacked the strong with weakness or the urgency of the situation, he could always find some good ways, because even when the Donghu army was dominant, there were many flaws, which could not be found in other Han army generals, but in the eyes of Wei Changfeng, it was still obvious.

But this time, he felt the situation turn upside down. It's not that the Donghu army is flawed everywhere, but it seems that the Han army is flawed everywhere, but where are the flaws? How did the Donghu Army find out and how did they use it? He really couldn't understand all this. It's like now, he doesn't understand, the Donghu people have sealed the front and right sides of the Han army, but the speed of their march is not very fast, if it is placed in the past, the Donghu army has already begun to sprint at this distance, but now the Donghu army war horse is just trotting unhurriedly, as if there is no idea of launching a sprint for a while.

The Eastern Hu army did this, and the only option for the Han army was to retreat into Montenegro. Since the Han army knew this choice, it was impossible for the commander of the Eastern Hu Army to see such an obvious possibility. Then there is only one explanation for this strange situation: the Eastern Hu army was trying to force the Han army into Montenegro.

The question is, what good will it do to the Eastern Hu army by forcing the Han army into Montenegro? It is most advantageous for their troops to fight on the plains. Now, isn't it asking the Han army to find the most advantageous place for defense?

But in any case, since the Donghu army wanted to force the Han army into Montenegro, there must be a reason, and the commander of the Donghu would never do it without certainty. Therefore, Wei Changfeng heard Fang Zhenhai's order to retreat into Black Mountain, and immediately reminded him.

Fang Zhenhai turned his head to look at Wei Changfeng, his eyes were full of anxiety: "What you said is good. I can see that the question is, what other options are there now? ”

Wei Changfeng was speechless.

Now there is really no other choice, and the remaining option is to fight to the death with the Donghu army on the plains.

Such a choice is just a choice to die faster.

"General Fang, what you said is good." Wei Changfeng could only answer like this.

Fang Zhenhai was not happy because Wei Changfeng said that what he said was good, but sighed.

Because he really hopes that Wei Changfeng now has a plan to get out of the predicament, even if it is a strategy that makes him lose face. However, this time, Wei Changfeng had no good plan.

"Retreat!" Fang Zhenhai gritted his teeth and issued an order.

The Han army hurriedly retreated backwards, the surplus grain, grass, and chariots were still on the ground, and a group of soldiers hurriedly retreated into the hills, seeing that the front troops of the Donghu army and the right troops were combined, but they did not continue to advance, so they breathed a sigh of relief.

Fang Zhenhai's eyes couldn't stop scanning the big and small hills of Black Mountain, called the three generals Chang, and pointed out the tasks: "The left team, occupy there, there and there." The mountains over there are steep, only a few dozen people are enough, and there are a few more people over there. Second team from the left, go over there, send a team of 100 to occupy ......" his fingers suddenly froze, "What's going on?" His words seemed to be asking, but he did not know who he was asking, for he also knew the truth, and no one could answer his question.

In the direction of Fang Zhenhai's finger, on the top of the steep mountain, a banner of the Donghu Army was erected!

~~~~~With the sound of the horn, several key mountaintops have erected the banner of the Donghu army, especially a hillside on one side, the outward side of the hillside is gentle, and the inward side is steep, which is the key point that the Han army must occupy and defend, otherwise the Donghu army is very likely to enter the mountain, on the top of this mountain, the banner of the commander of the Donghu Thousand Commanders was actually erected, which shows that there are hundreds or even thousands of people defending there!
