Chapter 33: The Commander of the Thousand Divisions
On the grasslands north of Seoul, a battle of 100,000 people fought from sunrise to sunset, and the blood gradually gathered into small rivers. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoAt this time, the night gradually fell, the sound of gold resounded in all directions, and the Hun cavalry and servant army all ran in the direction of their camp.
In the big tent of the Chinese army in the Hun camp, the commander hammered the table in front of him fiercely, and the generals standing on both sides trembled in their hearts and lowered their heads: "Bastard, not only have I returned in vain every time in the past two days. On the contrary, we have lost more than 10,000 soldiers, what use does this commander want you."
"The commander may not know that the enemy army on the opposite side is only more than 40,000 men. But all of them are young and strong, and their fighting power is strong."
"Please also ask the commander to learn clearly, it's not that the last general doesn't care. It is that the enemy's offensive is too fierce, and although our army is numerous, there are more or less old, weak, sick and disabled inside, so it will fall into disadvantage."
"Although more than 10,000 people have fallen in our army, most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled. On the other hand, the more than 4,000 people who fell were all young and strong in the prime of life. In this way, it seems that our army has not lost the battle in the past few days."
Listening to these remarks, the commander suddenly became angry: "Enough, a defeat is a defeat, you don't need to find an excuse." Three days, this commander is giving you three days, and if you can't defeat the enemy within three days, you will come to see you."
"The enemy army of the commander is all young and strong cavalry, although we are slightly more numerous than the other party, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to win a big victory in only three days."
"In terms of combat effectiveness, our army does not have much advantage."
"Please also ask the commander to think twice, even if we win in these three days, our army will be a miserable victory. When the time comes, if there are not enough troops, how can they suppress this vast grassland."
The commander's fists couldn't help but clench, and he just wanted to get angry but was stopped by reason. At this time, a thought flashed through his mind, and the corners of his mouth subconsciously curled: "This group of traitors is so arrogant, why doesn't Commander Ben borrow soldiers."
"Borrowed soldiers? Where does the commander borrow troops".
"How could the last general not think that if this group of traitors managed to defeat us. The rest of the small tribes are doing the same, and will the commanders still be able to sit still? āć
"Not too many, as long as you gather the strength of two medium-sized tribes, you will be able to easily take them down."
The smile of the commander of the thousand was even thicker in this discussion: "The closest to us is the medium-sized tribe in the southwest. It just so happens that Commander Ben and them are a bit hypocritical, as long as these pros and cons are told in detail, they should send troops to help."
"With the power of two medium-sized tribes, those rebels are going to be finished now."
"What about the strong combat effectiveness, can you beat two medium-sized tribes?"
"There are only three small tribes, and this time it will be a shame."
The Commander thought of the time when two medium-sized tribes joined forces to destroy the enemy forces in front of them. Suddenly smiled heartily and swept away the low mood of these days: "This thousand commanders ......".
Before he finished speaking, a cavalryman came running. I didn't have time to report loudly, so I directly unscrewed the tent and walked in. The commanders and generals in the tent were all stunned. I don't understand why this person has such the courage to dare to break into the Chinese army's tent so rudely.
"Commander Qiqi, an enemy army has bypassed our army and has approached our tribe's station." Due to the urgency of the military situation, the cavalry did not have time to salute and hurriedly informed the military situation.
The commander reacted instantly, as if he had thought of something, and hurriedly asked, "Isn't there still an army of eight thousand reinforcements?" What about them? where they are".
"I don't know where I am, but judging from the direction of the enemy's march, it is estimated that there will be more than one luck." The cavalry thought of the news he had discovered, and his heart felt a little chilly.
Hearing the words "Fierce Duoji", the commander gradually raised his brows, and hurriedly asked the cavalry: "Can you judge how many men and horses the enemy army has?"
"Judging by its number, it will not be less than 20,000 horses." The cavalry hurriedly replied, and the 20,000 enemy troops approached the empty tribal garrison, and the thought of this scene was terrifying for a while.
The generals were obviously a little confused by this news: "Could it be that the enemy army has already routed the army of that small tribe?"
"How good is it to enter the tribal station".
"Do we need immediate reinforcements now? But how will the enemy forces in front of them deal with it?"
"It's really hard to be in a dilemma right now."
"Maybe for now, we have to divide our troops."
As soon as these words came out, there was a silence in the big tent. The commander seemed to be weighing this suggestion, and looked at these generals for a long time: "This is reasonable, and the only way to plan for today is to divide the army."
"But how should we divide this soldier?"
"The enemy's 20,000 troops bypassed our positions and approached the Horde garrison. If there are too few reinforcements, we can't help, and if there are too many troops, what will we do here".
"There are 40,000 enemy troops in front, and although the two sides have suffered losses in the past two days, the number of soldiers who can fight will not be less than 30,000."
"We only have more than 50,000 people, and if we divide more troops, it will be difficult for us to cope here, and if we don't have reinforcements, it will be useless."
Listening to these words, the commander paced back and forth in the tent. The enemy unwittingly set himself a difficult problem, but how should he solve this problem: "How many days does it take to go back and forth from me to the medium-sized tribes in the southwest to ask for help."
"Two days". The cavalryman heard the inquiry, quickly calculated in his heart, and looked up at the commander.
Hearing this answer, the commander looked at the generals in the tent: "It takes two days to send a letter back and forth. If it is a large army that travels all the way, it is expected to take two to three days. So Commander Ben decided to divide the army in half."
"Half". The generals were in an instant uproar, and if they were transferred half, they could deal with the enemy army that was approaching the tribe's station. But how can these enemies in front of you deal with them?
"Commander Qian, please think twice, after all, the 40,000 enemy troops here are all young and strong elites."
"Originally, we relied on the superiority of our forces to gain the upper hand in a dangerous way, and at this time, once the enemy army learns about it, I am afraid that there will be a big problem."
"If the enemy had the idea of attacking them in a split way, wouldn't the commander have fallen into a trap when he went forward?"
"Once this place is lost, the enemy forces on both sides will attack back and forth, and I am afraid that our army will not be able to escape defeat."
The commander listened to them quietly, and then sneered: "Can't you take 30,000 soldiers and horses here to drag the enemy army for four days?"
"Four days?". The general has always been a little stunned, and he can't figure out why he wants to keep it for four days.
The commander walked to the desk and took out a blank scroll of bamboo slips from under the desk: "When the commander is leaving, he will send a scroll of letters to the medium-sized tribes in the southwest direction, and ask them to come to support immediately." Three days at most, it should be possible. When you are combined, take down the enemy forces on the opposite side in one fell swoop. Then take advantage of the victory and return to the division and the commander Ben, and meet those sneak attackers together."
"The last general will receive the order". The generals were sure that if it was only for four days, it shouldn't be a problem. As long as the commander leaves quietly, he and the others bluff a few times during the day. Those four days can pass in a flash.
