The eldest prince is a literati, he never thinks about the glory of the warrior, interests are the only things he needs to consider, there is no need to do things without interests, so far he has not seen Li Yao's army, he has lost more than 50,000 people, if he really encounters Li Yao's army, will there be any hope of victory?

Now Li Yao has an army of 300,000, this is not a small number, and it is definitely not made up out of thin air, this is a real battle There are so many people, and now he has lost 50,000 people before he sees Li Yao's face, fortunately, the 50,000 people who died are all foot soldiers, just turn around and collect 50,000 from the farmers, the cavalry is fine, this is the greatest luck!

The eldest prince asked, "Where did the enemy attack us yesterday?" ”

The scout replied, "On the mountain three miles away from the Great Horde, we have observed traces of enemy activity!" ”

"What? A mountain three miles away? The eldest prince exclaimed, "Are you sure you are not wrong?" ”

The scout hurriedly said: "Great Prince, we have observed the situation around the military camp, and it is true that there are traces of enemy activities only on the mountain three miles away!" ”

The eldest prince hurriedly called the three main generals and said, "Pass the order, the army will withdraw to the border of Yiguo, rest and stand by." ”

When General Huang heard the order of the eldest prince, he hurriedly said: "The eldest prince, no, withdrawing the troops now will hurt our morale too much!" ”

The eldest prince snorted coldly and said, "Do you think our morale is high now?" The enemy army is 40,000 people, and we have lost 40,000 or 50,000 people without killing the enemy, if we really encounter Li Yao's 300,000 army, will we have a chance of victory? ”

General Huang said: "Great Prince, after many days of my research, I found that their firearms are also insufficient, and the explosion range is not wide, if we scatter a little when we are marching, their firearms may not cause us too much damage!" ”

The eldest prince said: "Old General Huang, I know your current mood, the soldiers have died so much for no reason, it is uncomfortable to put it on anyone, but we still have to combine the reality, we are all veterans, and it is really a loss to lose one, it is better for us to retreat to a safe place first, and then wait for our own firearms to be researched, and we are studying the method of fighting Li Yao!" ”

After listening to the words of the eldest prince, General Huang thought for a while and said, "Okay, just listen to what the eldest prince says!" ”

The eldest prince saw that no one was objecting, so he said: "General Wang, you are responsible for protecting the retreat of those strange people, and you must ensure their safety!" ”

General Wang arched his hand and said, "Obey!" ”

Well, now everyone is back to tidy up the army, and it's a brain-draining thing that so many officers have died!

It's just that there are three old generals here, and the soldiers are still very obedient, after all, the prestige of the three famous generals of the Liang Dynasty is still very great!

"The Liang Dynasty army has withdrawn?" Cheng Changping asked when he heard the scout's report.

The scout replied: "The army of the Liang Dynasty has indeed withdrawn, and I have seen them tidy up their big tent and go east!" ”

Cheng Changping got the news and hurriedly found Gao Xiangming, who was holding a meeting with the political commissar at this time, saying that he would use the three-day rest time to improve the ideological education work of the soldiers!

Gao Xiangming saw Cheng Changping coming and asked, "Master Cheng, why are you here?" Don't you take advantage of these few days to get some rest? ”

Chang Changping said: "Rest Mao, the Liang Dynasty army has withdrawn?" ”

"What? Did the Liang Dynasty withdraw its troops? Gao Xiangming said to the political commissars: "The meeting is dismissed, and the meeting will be held later!" ”

Then he asked: "Commander Cheng, now is not the time to joke, are you sure that the Liang Dynasty army has really withdrawn?" ”

Cheng Changping said: "Your scout is coming back soon, don't you know about it?" ”

Gao Xiangming shouted: "Reconnaissance battalion, what about the commander of the reconnaissance battalion?" Call Lao Tzu quickly! ”

After a while, the commander of the reconnaissance battalion came over, and Gao Xiangming asked, "What about the scouts sent to investigate?" Did you come back? ”

The reconnaissance battalion commander said: "I haven't come back yet, is there anything wrong with the division commander?" ”

Gao Xiangming said: "Go and look for it, and if you find the scout, you will bring it over to see me immediately!" ”

The reconnaissance battalion commander saluted: "Yes, I'll look for it now!" ”

At this time, a soldier shouted: "The scout is back!" ”

Gao Xiangming shouted: "Quick, let them in!" ”

Dozens of people in the reconnaissance platoon were all brought to Gao Xiangming, and Gao Xiangming asked, "What did you detect?" ”

The reconnaissance platoon commander panted and said, "The Liang Dynasty army has withdrawn!" ”

Gao Xiangming asked, "Are you sure you really withdrew the troops?" ”

The platoon commander of the reconnaissance platoon nodded and said: "Yes, we were worried at the beginning that they were trying to lure us out and set a trap, but we followed them for more than ten miles, and we didn't find that they had the intention of dividing the troops, and now there is a platoon that continues to follow the reconnaissance, so we will come back first!" ”

Gao Xiangming looked at Cheng Changping and said: "Division Commander Cheng, I suggest that we send a large number of scouts to investigate the situation first, let's hold the troops for a day, if they really withdraw, we are out to do activities!" ”

Cheng Changping nodded and said, "Senior Commander, it's okay to be careful, I agree with you!" ”

Cheng Gao's troops lurked for another day, and then received a report from the scouts that the Liang Dynasty army had set up camp on the border of Yiguo!

Cheng Changping said: "What is the Liang Dynasty army doing in camp on the border of Yiguo? What can they do but waste food and grass in vain? ”

Gao Xiangming also said: "Yes, I really don't understand what the Liang Dynasty army means? Are they going to make gunpowder there? And then there is gunpowder and then counterattack us? ”

Chang Changping nodded, and said: "It may be the case, there are mostly small plains on the border of Yiguo, if we use the flying thunder barrel to carry out a sneak attack, the range is only three hundred steps, and before we get close, we will be discovered by the cavalry of the Liang army, even if we run fast, we can't outrun the four legs of others, and there is no way to use the weapon of the slingshot, because there is no tree to tie the tendons, even if there is, we will be discovered by the opponent's cavalry after launching a wave, and it will be impossible to escape in the end!" ”

Gao Xiangming said anxiously: "In that case, we have nothing to do with them?" ”

Cheng Chang said slowly: "Senior Commander Gao, our task is only to harass the Liang Dynasty army, not to fight them head-on, since they don't attack, we can also have a leisurely time, do you say yes!" ”

Gao Xiangming thought for a moment, nodded and said: "What Master Cheng said is right, since this is the case, let's discuss it with Master Su, if he doesn't have a good way to attack, then let's continue to lurk!" ”

Master Cheng nodded and said, "Okay, let's go to their cottage to discuss!" (To be continued.) )
