Chapter Fifty-Seven: Fleeing from the Wind
It was a retreat, and Shi Dayong gave the order to retreat.
was ordered to send reinforcements, and retreated without making contact with the Jin army, which left the Ming army stunned. I listened to the martial brother's Xintianyou before, and the song was extremely heroic, and I had already hardened my mind to break through this ghost gate with the general, but where did I know that what Lu Dao was waiting for was an order to retreat, what is this?
Xia Desheng was afraid that he had heard it wrong, so he deliberately asked Shi Dayong again, but the answer was still to retreat. This made him at a loss for a while, sitting on the horse and looking at Shi Dayong in a daze.
Ge Qing, Liu Zeyi, Wang An and others were also dumbfounded, not knowing whether to advance or retreat.
"Why, weren't you afraid? Since our men and horses can't get out of the siege at all, we can only send them to death, so let's just go back. Shi Dayong looked at the officers who were temporarily under his command with a smile.
Ge Qing swallowed his throat and reminded in a low voice: "General, Lord Futai's military order is to send aid to Dalinghe City, if we don't fight a battle, we will withdraw, but I'm afraid that it will be difficult for the general to explain to Lord Futai when I go back." ”
Wang An also said: "Lord Futai is the most strict in governing the army, if you go back like this, I am afraid that I will definitely move out of the military order to govern the general's crime." ”
Shi Dayong nodded and said: "Yes, the military order that the general received was to send aid, but you have also seen that the two flags of the Jin army are blue and red blocking the path of our army's advance, and the other side has thousands of cavalry, and our infantry has a total of 2,000 people, and it is a lone army, and there is no chance of winning at all." What can we do if we break through forcibly, that is, let us break through, and the Jin army will not withdraw from the siege, in this case, we don't have to be a good man, and we will fight from where we come. ”
"This ......"
Ge Qing, Liu Zeyi and others, you look at me, I look at you, although a hundred people in their hearts are willing to go back immediately, but no one dares to support it. After all, it was against the military order to retreat without engaging the enemy, and if the governor held him down, they would also be responsible.
Xia Desheng and Li Yizhong were confused by Shi Dayong's order to withdraw their troops, and the two of them still didn't believe that Shi Dayong, who dared to fight with Jiannu to the end with a thousand people that day, actually ordered the withdrawal of troops.
This is not even fighting, it is not an exaggeration to say that he fled from the wind!
How can the two of them have no bottom in their hearts about the chances of this aid, although they know that retreating at this time is a wise choice, but Zu Shuai is still surrounded in the city, so they shrink their heads and go back, and the two of them are really unwilling, and they have a feeling that they can't live with the old master.
It's true that the soldiers are strong and strong, but you always have to give it a try, if you don't try it, you won't be able to break through!
It's really impossible to break in, and it's also done its best, and it's no wonder who loses! Even Zu Shuai knew the way, and he wouldn't blame them for not saving them.
I wanted to fight, but the two of them didn't dare to disobey, they were different from Ge Qing and Liu Zeyi, Ge Liu and others were temporarily transferred to Shi Dayong's command, they were guest generals, but they were soldiers of the headquarters, and they only obeyed Shi Dayong's orders, and there was no opposition. If Ge Liu and the others are unwilling to withdraw, it is really compared to Shi Dayong, and they can't help it.
Therefore, Xia and Li looked at Ge Liu and the others, hoping that they would be able to oppose the withdrawal of troops.
But they waited and waited, and they didn't wait for any of them to say that they couldn't withdraw their troops. Several people were embarrassed, as if they were wondering whether to obey orders or disobey orders.
What Ge Liu and the others were thinking in their hearts, Shi Dayong knew it, since he decided to withdraw, he didn't want to delay any longer, and said bluntly: "Lord Futai blames him, he will bear it with all his might, you don't have to worry." I gave the order to withdraw the troops, and the so-called one person is responsible for doing things one person, and I will always be a man and will not drag you into the water. ”
Hearing this, Ge Qing's face turned red, and he hurriedly said: "What is the general's words, we were ordered to go to the aid with the general, and the advance and retreat are one, how can the general be held accountable alone." ”
Liu Zeyi hesitated for a while, but said: "After returning to Jinzhou, how to say the lowly rank, please ask the general to know it, and I will know it well." ”
As soon as they heard what he said, Wang An and Ge Qing nodded hurriedly, and said that everything after going back would be up to Shi Dayong.
Their attitudes were already clear, they all agreed to withdraw their troops, and even thoughtfully thought of how to lie about Shi Dayong's withdrawal when they went back, so as not to blame the above.
Zheng Guo didn't speak, his face was cold, he looked at Shi Dayong for a while, looked at Wang An and them for a while, and looked at Jin Jun in the distance for a while, I don't know what he was thinking in his heart.
Among the people present, the closest relationship is him Zheng Guo, to a certain extent, he Zheng Guo is also on behalf of Governor Qiu, and now Shi Dayong openly resists the order to lead his troops to retreat, and Zheng Guo should immediately stand up against it.
As Zheng Guo, if he insisted on not withdrawing his troops, Shi Dayong could only cancel the order to withdraw his troops. Because if he still insists on withdrawing, after returning to Jinzhou, no matter how he makes up reasons for himself, as long as Zheng Guo is there, the fact that he fled without a fight will not be hidden.
Shi Dayong also thought that Zheng Guo was against it, but to his surprise, Zheng Guo did not speak, but was just playing with the horse whip in his hand.
Ge Qing and Liu Zeyi were still talking about how to report to the governor when they went back, but Shi Dayong was impatient, waved his hand and said to them: "Okay, don't say anything." If you want to go back, take your troops and withdraw immediately, otherwise, if the Jin army takes the initiative to kill them, you won't be able to withdraw if you want to. ”
Hearing this, Ge Liu and the others were excited, and subconsciously glanced at the opposite side, and then each pulled the reins of the horse, turned the horse's head and went to order his soldiers to retreat.
The martial brothers looked confused when they left, they really didn't understand, this General Shi obviously let them sing the hometown song to inspire people, how could he think that after the song was sung, he wouldn't play!
Yes, if you don't fight, you won't fight, you are the main general, we are guest soldiers, you can do whatever you say.
After these guest generals returned to their headquarters and ordered the withdrawal of troops, Shi Dayong shouted: "Xia Desheng, Li Yizhong!" ”
"The last general!"
Xia and Li were a little reluctant to hug their fists on the horse.
"The two of you will lead the cavalry to the back, and then retreat after they have retreated five miles. If the Jin army is following, you don't have to fight hard with it, just stop it. If you can't stop it, let go of your horses and run into the city. ”
"General, are you really going back like this?" Xia Desheng was still unwilling to withdraw like this.
"Yes, just go back like that." Shi Dayong reconfirmed the order to withdraw the troops, and then shouted: "Don't take the order yet!" ”
Xia Desheng and Li Yizhong sighed secretly at the same time, and replied helplessly: "Yes, general!" ”
All the Niu Lu are ready, just waiting for the Ming army to come and charge the battle. I didn't want to wait for the small half pillar of incense, but I saw that the infantry of the Ming army suddenly turned around and went back in the direction of Jinzhou, leaving only a few hundred cavalry still in place. Looking at the situation, there is no intention of fighting at all.
"Master, why did the Ming army withdraw?"
Gushan's forehead is really white, and his eyes are straight, what the hell are the people of the Ming Kingdom doing? This is obviously to rescue the ancestral Dashou Department in the city, why did he go back the same way when he arrived?
Looking at the Ming troops who were retreating south, Azig smiled contemptuously: "Bai Da, you didn't see it? The general of the Ming army is obviously afraid of our Eight Banners, he is fleeing without a fight, hum, rats! ”
Bai Daha smiled: "The people of the Ming Kingdom are really useless, it is indeed as the master said, they are all a group of rats, and when they see our big golden eight banners, they are like mice and cats, they are timid and afraid of death." It's ridiculous that the population of the Ming Kingdom is hundreds of times that of our Dajin, but the warriors who dare to fight are not even as good as one of us, which is really sad. According to the minions, I am afraid that the qi of this Han man is really exhausted. ”
Azig looked proud: "God should be my big gold, and on another day, the King of Khan will definitely lead us to the Central Plains immediately." ”
Seeing that the infantry of the Ming army had retreated for a mile, Bai Da hurriedly asked: "Master, do you want the slave to take two Niu Lu to intercept them?" ”
Azig shook his head: "No need, let them go back, this Ming army is just a small shrimp, and the big fish we have to wait for is behind." ”
