Chapter 298: Wei Tao's words lowered morale

Carefully counting the whole army, there were more than 20,000 dead and wounded among the soldiers under Wei Tao, but the number of dead was not much, and more were injured.

In fact, half of the casualties were casualties, most of them were injured, and after a few months of rest, they were able to, compared to the deaths and injuries of the Qiang people, they were already making a lot of money, and the Qiang people were mostly killed in a battle, and there were not many injured.

However, this does not help to change the current reality, that is, whether it is Ma Teng or Han Sui, their forces are no less than Wei Tao after adding the help of the Qiang people.

Fortunately, the relationship between the two has not changed at this time, and it is impossible to be as close as before.

If not, I'm afraid that Wei Tao will really turn from an advantage to a disadvantage in this battle.

"I can't imagine that this is the case, can you have a plan?"

Wei Tao frowned slightly, although Wei Tao was not impossible to transfer troops to come, but Wei Tao really didn't want to do this.

In addition to the fact that it takes a lot of time and energy to transfer troops, if you want to transfer troops, then it is inevitable to make your territory empty.

Maybe it will give the Xiongnu or Wuhuan opportunity to take advantage of because of this, which is something that Wei Tao does not allow, so Wei Tao will never be able to transfer troops to come.

But when he heard Wei Tao ask this, there was no one to answer for a while, including Chen Qun and Tai Shici.

In fact, even if it is replaced by Zhou Yu and others, I am afraid that this is the case here.

If there was any strategy that had been used before, it would not have been waiting for this at all.

However, when they heard Wei Tao ask, everyone closed their eyes and thought hard, this is not pretentious. It's really thinking.

"If not, then launch an offensive at this time? Didn't Chen Junshi say that the Qiang people were being trained now, so could they attack while they were still training? ”

I have to say that among the many generals, Wei Yan was the most scheming, and after thinking for a while, he said.

"General Wei Yan, that's not the case."

But at this time, Chen Qun just opened his mouth directly.

"Where can this kind of discipline and battle formation be made in a day? In fact, no matter how we train, in just a few days, at most it will only be for them to be in front of the battle, so even if we attack at this time, it will not be much good. The reason why Ma Teng and Han Sui want to do this is more to restore the morale of the Qiang people, if the morale is insufficient, how to fight against us? ”

Wei Yan is also quite generous, and he is not angry when he hears Chen Qun's words. After some careful consideration. He even admitted that what Chen Qun said was quite true.

"Is it just unthinkable?"

Tai Shici couldn't help but ask, he is also an old man in the army, and there is nothing wrong with opening his mouth at this time.

"It's winter, it's winter. Although our army also benefited. Even prepare winter clothes early. But they still had to get firewood to burn it. The geographical advantage is Liangzhou, and it is impossible to know the geography of Liangzhou with the operation of Ma Teng and Han Sui. As for the people. Tuo Gongjin's blessing doesn't have to worry about Ma Teng and Han Sui's complete union, but unfortunately now the people are not me, whether the Xiliang people support Ma Teng and Han Sui or not, but at least the actions of the Qiang people have shown that they support Ma Teng and Han Sui. ”

Chen Qun finished saying these words with an expressionless face, although these words were very demoralizing, but this was the responsibility of being a strategist, Chen Qun did not evade it at all, and he was already throwing his hand towards Wei Tao between words.

"Lord, this battle has already hurt the confidence of the Qiang people, if you come back next year, then you can easily win, presumably at that time, the Qiang people will not be able to survive the cold winter like now, after hearing about the recruitment of Ma Teng and Han Sui, they will come desperately."

This is already persuading Wei Tao to back down and withdraw his troops.

"Huh...... What Changwen said is indeed a law, but although I don't care about the so-called reputation, Changwen also knows that the morale of the army has a great impact, if it is not careful, it may even let the Xiliang army form a tail chase, and it is really possible to be defeated at that time. ”

It's a pity that Wei Tao just smiled lightly and rejected Chen Qun's proposal.

"The group has a lot to know about military and political affairs, and I ask for your forgiveness."

Chen Qun blushed slightly and said, it's not that Chen Qun is weak-skinned, but that Chen Qun is not a pure military strategist, this is just a joke, and he bluntly retreated, which in itself is not popular with the officers and soldiers in the army.

If it weren't for Chen Qun's background, he would have been quite happy with the generals in the army during this period of time, and just by relying on his words, I am afraid that he would attract a lot of angry reprimands.

"It's okay, Changwen is also well-intentioned, but you can't easily retreat from the battle of the army, otherwise it will be irretrievable once the morale drops, especially in the face of princes like Xiliang who support their own troops and have strong cavalry, otherwise once they are pursued, it is almost impossible to win."

Wei Tao didn't care too much, but he also admonished.

"Not to mention withdrawing the army, even if you want to retreat and ambush, you must be cautious, and if you are not careful, you may become a real defeat."

"Be taught."

Chen Qun was not a person who couldn't listen to the words, so he immediately bowed his hand and said respectfully, but the problem in front of him was still unsolved, so Chen Qun still spoke.

"If this is the case, our army cannot advance, and it is difficult to retreat, so what should we do?"

"Or so it may be."

Without the assistance of Zhou Yu and other strategists, it does not mean that Wei Tao is powerless, and Wei Tao is not a scheming in his heart after thinking about it for a while.

"All the troops are listening to my orders, and immediately the whole army will beat the drums!"

Wei Tao's prestige in the army is not ordinary, although many people still have doubts about what Wei Tao said, but at this time, no one disobeyed Wei Tao's order, and everyone immediately acted separately.

The whole army is beating the drums, this is a sign of attacking, and it was only not long ago that I wanted to say that this is actually not a good time to say war, and in an instant, it is to talk about war, this is also the general under Wei Tao, otherwise who has no objection?

"Knock knock ......"

The earth-shattering drums sounded, and it immediately excited the two Xiliang armies on the other side of the river, and immediately led their own troops to face Wei Tao across the river.

Compared with Wei Tao's shore, the number of the other side is larger, but there is a very obvious open space in the middle, indicating that the two armies are just face to face and heart discord.

Seeing that Ma Teng and Han Sui of the two armies were there, Wei Tao did not hesitate, slowly beat the horse out, his eyes swept around, and finally put it on Ma Teng and Han Sui.

"General Ma, General Han, you have been fighting with me for a long time, you should understand that you can now borrow the courage of the Qiang tribe for a while, but my army moves, you can't be the enemy, in this case, why not surrender early?"

"Humph! Wei Tao, if you want to come, why bother to make such provocative words! ”

It is no one else who can compete head-on with Wei Tao, it is Ma Chao, even now Ma Chao is still full of sharpness.

"Provocative? Hehe......"

Wei Tao chuckled, not too much, but a little like he was talking to himself?

"Actually, I already have a way to break the Qiang people in one fell swoop, even if you don't believe it, but before the Qiang people arrived, I have always been immobile, at most I just set up a camp, but you know why? Because I am here to kill the Qiang people, I just want the Qiang people to come, and then kill them one by one! ”

I have to say that Wei Tao's words are very arrogant, and people can't help but punch them hard, but at the same time, everyone can't help but think about it according to what Wei Tao said.

After thinking about it like this, many people found out that this was in fact the case, and Wei Tao did not do it when the Xiliang army was at its weakest.

Wei Tao can't have any friendship with Xiliang people, and Wei Tao is not a soft-hearted character, so why is Wei Tao so talking?

Could it be that what Wei Tao said is true, if he had the intention, he would have defeated all my Xiliang army?

Not only ordinary soldiers, but also some low-level generals can't help but think like this.

Even Ma Teng and Han Sui were stunned for a while, and they were stunned for a while and didn't answer, and suddenly it became even more true what Wei Tao said.

The morale was already low, but it suddenly declined.

"Nonsense! If you have the ability, you will fight with me with real swords and guns, what kind of hero is nonsense! ”

At this time, Ma Chao was the only one who was unaffected, but it was a pity that the two armies were still separated by the Wei River at this time, even if the Wei River had become much shallower at this time, but Ma Chao could not jump straight over, and could only scold across the river.

I have to say that being drunk like this by Ma Chao boosted the morale of the Xiliang Army again.

"Huh...... You're going to fight me? Why are you alone with me? ”

But at this time, Wei Tao smiled again, just now he could already see the wavering of the other party's soldiers, not only the Xiliang people, but also those Qiang people.

Thinking about it, in the past few days, Tai Shici, Xu Huang, and Wei Yan have all fought with the Qiang people.

How did Ma Chao's name of 'Shenwei Tian General' come about, that is, to fight and kill.

After killing Tai Shici and others, it is naturally impossible for those Qiang people not to have fear in their hearts, but the so-called fear is suppressed by the bounties offered by Ma Teng and Han Sui.

Seeing this, Wei Tao's heart was settled, and he was more sure of his thoughts, as long as he thought about it, it would not be a problem to defeat Xiliang and destroy the Qiang people in this battle.

"You ......"

Ma Chao was different, he was furious when he heard Wei Tao's words, but Wei Tao's words made him irrefutable, and finally shouted suddenly.

"Wei Tao, no matter what happened before, you dare to fight with me now, and you won't die!"

"Never die?"

At this time, I saw Wei Tao just smile proudly and said coldly.

"Ma Chao, you are indeed extraordinary in martial arts, but you are still a lot weaker than me, if you fight me again, I will definitely take your life, and I will not let others have a chance to save you. If you don't die, you won't die, and you can compete with me? ”

(Thank you for the reward of the glorious charter, and thank you for your support, thank you!) (To be continued......)
