The forward battalion sent by Liu Qin was repulsed in less than an hour, looking at the defeated troops, Liu Qin couldn't say a word of reproach, he just waved his hand and motioned for them to go down and repair. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Liu Qin stared at the map and remained motionless until his attendants handed him the marching rations, and Liu Qin woke up from his contemplation: "You go and pass the battalion officers of each battalion to discuss the matter." ”

The soldiers wanted to persuade him to eat something before discussing the matter, but he was familiar with Liu Qin's temperament, and at this moment, the army was in danger, how could he be in any mood to eat, so he went down silently to convey the military order.

It was some marching horses, and the generals sat or stood, sitting around Liu Qin, looking at the subordinates around him, Liu Qin's mood was extremely heavy. These people are either their own relatives and nephews, or they are confidants who have followed him for many years, and they are all brothers of life and death who stir horses and spoons in a pot. Now that they are blocked outside the throat artery on the north slope, and the food is about to run out, I wonder if this elite cavalry of the Huns can escape? Liu Qin's heart was actually uneasy. He didn't beat around the bush and made the opening statement with a single-handed, straight truth.

"The battle is like this, I don't blame everyone, it's my fault, I shouldn't put the troops on this Jedi, now the Jin army has blocked the northern slope, the deep ditch and high base, the battle is waiting, the valley mouth is narrow, and the troops can't be expanded, if we forcibly break through, it's like adding oil to the fire, and constantly use human lives to fill the bottomless pit, so it's a dead end." Speaking of this, Liu Qin looked at the generals, their faces were very calm, and they were listening carefully to what they were saying. Obviously, this kind of battlefield situation is like a mirror in their hearts, and they are clear that they have not entrusted their subordinates, but have taken the initiative to take responsibility, which not only does not damage the prestige of their own troops, but helps to unite the morale of the army. Following this line of thought, he continued.

"The military rations brought by our army can still last for five or six days, if the northern slope can't pass now, it will still not be able to pass after five or six days, and the Jin army is now holding on to no fight, in fact, it is the idea of trapping us until the day of the food shortage, and then winning easily, so we must make a decision and adjust the deployment immediately."

"General, please speak, what shall we do?" The generals asked.

"From here to the northwest for more than 70 miles, you can go around to the back of Lishi City, as long as we can cross the poplar beach again, we will escape." Liu Qin pointed to the map spread out on the ground and made a big arc with his finger.

All the generals are Huns, and they are very familiar with the surrounding terrain: "General, Huyangtan is a vast desert of more than 100 miles, and we have no military rations, so it is impossible to go out." ”

"Yes, general, the older generation has said that Huyangtan Huyangtan will not be returned after nine out of ten, not to mention that many of our brothers still have injuries on their bodies."

"That's right, what's more, the order Shan Yu gave us was to ambush on the spot, and the camera was dispatched to flank the Jin army under Lishi City, and we would have withdrawn from the battlefield without the military order alone。。。。。。。。

Liu Qin looked at the generals and discussed, he was puzzled, cleared his throat, coughed, and the generals stopped discussing and looked at Liu Qin with blank eyes.

Liu Qin stood up, looked at his subordinates, and said categorically: "The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, the original plan and Shan Yu's division cannot be implemented at all under the stone city, and Shan Yu's troops are more than enough to defend the city, and it is impossible to divide the troops to save us, so the road to wait for help has also been blocked, for the sake of today's plan, the general will not be affected by the order of the king outside, the remaining more than 10,000 brothers are the elite of our elite, I Liu Qin must bring these brothers back alive, except to go to the rocky beach, we have no choice, bring enough horse material, Bring enough water, the military rations are concentrated and distributed equally, my brothers and I share the same amount of military rations, in case of food shortages, we will kill horses and eat, even if half of the people can walk back, it is better than the whole army being wiped out here. ”

Looking at Liu Qin's resolute expression, the generals stopped arguing, and there was only this way to fight at the moment. Under the extremely unfavorable situation, Liu Qin finally stabilized the morale of the army.

Liu Yuan was still arguing with his subordinates about whether to send troops to rescue Liu Qin at the moment. One faction is represented by Liu Ang, insisting on saving, preferring to abandon Lishicheng, the whole army is desperate, and there is hope to completely reverse the passive situation, as long as the Jin army is defeated, Lishicheng will return to their own hands. The other faction supports Liu Yuan, the reason is very simple, the Jin army is an expeditionary division, and the supply of grain and straw cannot last for a long time, as long as it sticks to the stone city, the deep ditch and high fortress, the longer it drags on, the more disadvantageous the Jin army will be, and it will definitely be able to catch their loopholes and find the fighters, at that time, they will be able to hit with one blow. In the end, Liu Yuan overrode public opinion and forcibly issued a strict order to stick to Lishi, without his own military order, not a single soldier or soldier is allowed to move without permission, and those who violate the order will be beheaded.

After nightfall, in the stone city, except for the city wall is heavily guarded, soldiers patrol back and forth, the city is dark, suddenly, a funeral procession breaks the silence of the night, from the end of the long street slowly to the city gate. At the city gate, he was intercepted by the battalion officers who defended the city gate. After surveying the warrant, the battalion officer waved his hand and motioned for the city gate to be opened and let them out. Several soldiers exchanged heads in private: "Who is this, the big battle is coming, and you can still get a warrant to leave the city." ”

The battalion officer shouted at these soldiers: "Shan Yu personally issued a warrant, it is your business, hurry up and perform your own duties, give Lao Tzu enough spirits, watch the city gate, and strictly prevent anyone from sneaking attack." ”

As the gates rumbled open, the drawbridge slowly fell over the moat, and the funeral carriage drove out of the stone city, gradually moving away, disappearing in the vast darkness of the night.

When Yang Ke hurried back to the military camp on the north slope, Tang Bin greeted him without politeness, and his head was a sentence: "The situation is not right, Liu Qin seems to have a detour to the rocky beach and absconded from the desert." ”

Yang Ke couldn't help frowning: "The scout battalion sent over was almost wiped out, but two brothers fled desperately, and reported that Liu Qin's army secretly reorganized the wounded soldiers in the middle of the night, and wanted them to move the camp to the front of the northern slope to confront our army。。。。。。 ”

Yang Ke nodded: "Brother Confucianism's analysis is right, Liu Qin needs to create an illusion to contain us from holding our troops still, those wounded soldiers are impossible to hold out until they cross the desert, and it may be a burden, rather than this, it is better to leave them as suspicious soldiers." Therefore, it is certain that Liu Qin must be ready to retreat in a roundabout way, passing through the desert and leaving Shicheng. Are we chasing or not chasing? ”
