Chapter 56: History Repeats Itself
Gao Yi suddenly gathered troops on the border of the Later Han Dynasty this time, in fact, he had been planning for a long time, he was waiting for such an opportunity, he didn't care about the outcome of this battle, what he wanted was chaos and panic within the Later Han Dynasty, so that his goal would be achieved.
Gao Yi knew that it was easy to punish people but difficult to punish hearts, and what he wanted this time was not that the Later Han soldiers suffered heavy casualties, but that the Later Han soldiers felt cold about their majesty Liu Yishan and no longer served him. In this way, it is simply easy for him to defeat Hou Han.
On the other side, after asking Bianjing for help, Wen Jin has not moved, and the enemy army has not moved after knowing that the Zhenxiao army is coming.
Wen Jin knew that she was suspicious, she didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Gao Si's gourd, she guessed that Gao Si deliberately made a look of loose military discipline, and then lured her to take the initiative to attack, in addition to this one reason, Wen Jin thought of any other reason, which would make him make the soldiers mess up when the two armies confronted each other.
Wen Jin thought to himself, no matter what idea he had in his heart, he could not rashly attack before Li Xu's Qingning army arrived, but had to take a defensive position.
Yun Shi has been in the military camp for the past few days, and has been thinking about why the Northern Qi Dynasty suddenly attacked, Gao Yi's use of troops could not be without reason, just three years ago, the two armies had just fought, and the 200,000 elite troops of the Han Dynasty were wiped out in that battle, and Ye Yunfeng was also killed on the battlefield.
The Northern Qi side also suffered heavy casualties, it stands to reason that the Northern Qi should not easily use troops outside the country within five years, after all, the Northern Qi also needs time to recover its military strength.
But he couldn't think of what Gao Yi's move was for, and since he didn't know what the enemy's purpose was, he could only see the move.
On the other side, Liu Yishan received a letter of help from Wen Jin in Bianjing, and immediately ordered Li Xu to count the army and immediately set off to the battlefield to help Wen Jin.
This time, Li Xu was the commander-in-chief, Wen Jin was the deputy marshal, Shuyun was the vanguard general, the prince was the supervising army, and Liu Yishan vowed to fight to the death with the Northern Qi.
On the other side, after Gao Si found out that Li Xu's army had set off, he suddenly changed the previous decline in military discipline, but gathered all the soldiers and prepared to engage the Zhenxiao army head-on.
In the face of the menacing Qi-Tang coalition army, Wen Jin could only choose to avoid the battle and led the army to retreat all the way. But Gao Si was aggressive, and when Wen Jin stepped back a foot, he led the army forward.
In the end, Wen Jin was determined not to retreat, if he retreated again and again, it would not only affect the morale and morale of the army, but also make himself too passive.
Wen Jin calculated the days in her heart, and the reinforcements should arrive in these two days, so she decided to take the initiative to attack, and deal with the enemy's main force for two to three days, and when Li Xu's Qingning army arrived, she could confront it head-on.
Yun Shi also agreed with Wen Jin's decision, so Wen Jin divided the Zhenxiao army into three routes, she led the most elite soldiers as the middle lane, the other two ways feinted from the flank, and the remaining soldiers protected the prince to retreat first.
In addition, Wen Jin knew that the Zhenxiao army only had 80,000 horses after all, and it was impossible to confront it head-on, so Wen Jin ordered the whole army to learn the tactics of Murong Feng of Northern Yan to fight guerrilla warfare, and use the terrain to fight guerrilla warfare with the enemy.
Originally, Yun Shi wanted Wen Jin to fight side by side, but Wen Jin asked Yun Shi to protect the prince, and then she led the army to maneuver around the frontal battlefield.
First, this is a military order, even if Yun Shi is reluctant in his heart, he must accept it; Eryun had never been on the battlefield when he came to Yun, and fighting was not his forte, so he understood Wen Jin's decision, and he led a small number of soldiers to return to Longxi City with the prince.
Waiting for the arrival of Li Xu's army, and then going to the front with Li Xu to reinforce Wen Jin, everything was arranged in this way, Wen Jin was naturally very thoughtful, but all this was also in Gao Yi's control.
At the beginning, the guerrilla warfare method of asking Jin did achieve some results, but the Gao Si on the opposite side was also fighting for many years, although he was brave and unstrategic, but he was brave and good at fighting.
Although Wen Jin used the tactics of roundabout guerrilla attacks, which could avoid its edge, because the enemy's combat effectiveness was too strong, even if he could take advantage of it every time, there were casualties on his side.
And there is one thing that I didn't expect from Q Jin, that is, the Qi Tang coalition army on the opposite side is like a zombie and does not shoot to death, no matter what, it has always maintained an offensive posture.
Wen Jin has been working hard for seven days in 10 million, but the reinforcements are still delayed, and Wen Jin suddenly has a bad premonition, if the reinforcements are not available, she and all the soldiers will be surrounded by the enemy sooner or later.
At that time, it will be too difficult to break through, and on the other side, Yun Shi is in Longxi City, and he has been waiting for Li Xu, but Li Xu has not arrived.
Yun Shi was also very anxious in his heart, according to common sense, the reinforcements should arrive within five days, but now there is no trace of reinforcements, Yun Shi is worried that there will be changes in this, and Wen Jin may not be able to hold out for long in the front.
On the other hand, Wen Jin also felt in her heart that it might be that Li Xu was in some trouble, maybe she was intercepted by the enemy, so she couldn't wait any longer, she had to find a way to retreat, otherwise she and the entire Zhenxiao army would die here.
And in the course of these seven days, more than half of the casualties on his side have been killed and wounded, and at least 70,000 soldiers and horses have been lost on the Northern Qi side, but the other party has been attacking and has never thought of retreating, as if he knew that she could not wait for reinforcements, that is, he wanted to fight with her.
This is what Wen Jin has been unable to figure out, but at this time, Wen Jin received an anonymous letter, which read: "Are you still waiting for reinforcements? Don't wait, reinforcements won't come, your father just couldn't wait for reinforcements back then, that's why he fought on the battlefield, and you and your father will end up the same! ”
The moment Wen Jin saw the letter, he had a lot of thoughts in his heart, because the amount of information in this letter was too great, could it be that his father was not killed in battle, but was framed. The letter wrote that her father was forced to die because he did not wait for reinforcements.
Regardless of whether this incident is true or not, her current situation is indeed exactly the same as that of her father, if she can't wait for reinforcements, she will definitely be annihilated by the enemy in the end.
Therefore, when his father was dealing with the enemy, it is very likely that Li Xu has been slow to reinforce the enemy, which caused her father to be alone, but in the end he was unable to return to the sky, and then died on the battlefield. Otherwise, how could her father, who had been a victorious general all his life, be wiped out in that battle?
