Chapter 152: Retreat as Advance

It's getting late, and the killing stops.

In the crow village, the Shu army and the Liang army separated from the array and slowly retreated.

From fifty zhang away from the camp gate, to the crow camp gate, and finally into the camp, it took the Liang army a day. But when it was sinking westward, the Shu army had not given up resistance.

Huan Wu Mingjin withdrew his troops and ordered the Liang army to retreat.

In the temporary Liang military camp in the mountains, Huan Youji opened the tent door, and his face was full of depression.

"Uncle, am I really happy to kill? I haven't met such an opponent for a long time, and in just one step, our army will be able to capture the crow camp, why do you want to order the collection of troops? ”

Huan Wu was eating, listening to Huan Youji's complaints, and brought him a bowl.

"What, this can't hold your breath?"

Huan Youji sat under Huan Wu, grabbed a pair of chopsticks, and put vegetables on Huan Wu's dinner plate. Even if there are a number of princes in the world, a meal in this army can only be regarded as rich.

Huan Youji didn't even change his clothes, his armor was torn and broken, and his clothes were stained with blood. It's just that Huan Wu didn't have the slightest displeasure, and his attitude towards Huan Youji was even better than that of several sons.

"Uncle, you don't know. Where are the opponents in front of our army all these years? It's not cowards like Jing Yun, or Cai Tong, who only dares to hide on the water. Finally, we encountered such a durable opponent as the Changce Army, and we were only one step away from capturing the Crow Battalion. ”

Huan Youji picked up a lamb bone with meat attached to it, and took a few bites of it angrily. The Liang army possessed the land of seven states, and was powerful and wealthy, and the army was strong. In this world, there are almost no princes who dare to fight the Liang army head-on.

However, the Shu army is different, and the Changce army is the only force that dares to fight head-on with the Liang army in recent years. Moreover, if you fight vigorously and do not give an inch, you can also feel that the opponent's fighting spirit is high.

"The crow camp has been destroyed. It can be said that the Shu army has no barrier to rely on. First rest and recuperate, our army can break through the first line of defense of the Shu army in one go in the future. The combat strength of the Shu army has not disappeared, and if it continues to fight, it will only increase casualties. What's more, Yang Xian has a lot of tricks, and he has been operating in this mountain for a long time, so it is difficult to guarantee that there are no tricks. ”

"It turns out that my uncle is worried about Yang Xian!"

Huan Youji teased, causing Huan Wu to throw the bone in his hand.

"What about the casualties of our troops?"

Speaking of this, Huan Youji's face was solemn.

"There are one or two hundred dead and wounded, and there should be more than us on the Shu army."

Huan Youji is charging ahead, and this number is just an estimate. Based on his own feeling of fighting for many years, although it is not accurate, he can draw an approximation.

Huan Wu nodded and said, "Through this battle, I already have a rough idea of the combat power of this Changce army. Although the morale is high, it is still a new soldier, Yang Xian wants to use this army to stop our army, it is just wishful thinking! ”

For Huan Wu, the crow camp is a bait, and if Yang Xian doesn't want to lose this important line of defense, then he must invest more strength.

And this is exactly what Huan Wu is willing to see, the more Yang Xian invests, the more he will lose. Because with the combat power of the Changce Army, it is not the opponent of the Liang Army at all.

Cape Lookout Cliff.

"How's it going?"

"Our army suffered almost five hundred casualties. The minister had already carried the wounded and dead to the rear. ”

Han lived up to the rest and gave up.

Yang Xian shook the feather fan, in just one battle, Sergeant Changce lost so many soldiers, in fact, it can be regarded as a loss. Yang Xian knew that as night fell, the morale of Sergeant Changce was dropping sharply.

During the day, the sergeant of Changce, who was only supported by a brave spirit, calmed down, and was slowly shocked by the blood and terror on the battlefield, and was panicked.

It was a brutal process, both for the dead and the living. Because, it is difficult to forge an elite army by training alone.

If you don't face life and death, it will be difficult for a strong army to gather. It was in these more than ten years of turmoil that Liang Jun rose to have such a strong strength.

"Lord, what should we do now?"

Han Bubu was a little worried, and the crow battalion guarded the main road in the mountain. If you don't put in more strength, it will be difficult to hold on. But now, unease is spreading among the soldiers.

"Prime Minister, why don't I take the Black Fly Army to garrison the Crow Camp!"

Jin Xin was beside him, and he surrendered his hand to the battle road. With the combat power of the Black Fly Army, garrison this crow camp and resist the Liang Army, and it is no problem.

Yang Xian shook his head and said, "Most of the Black Fly Army has withdrawn to Dankou, and now there are only more than a thousand in the mountains. What's more, the Liang army obviously has an advantage, why did Huan Wu order the withdrawal of troops? ”

"What do you mean?"

"The way to use the army, the heart is the first. If I continue to invest in my military strength, even if I can hold the crow camp, then the casualties will only increase. As time goes by, the mountains of corpses pile up here, and our army's fighting spirit will become lower and lower. The Liang army can break through the first line of defense of our army in one go. Huan Wu not only wants to break our army on the **, but also to break the heart of our army, so that the soldiers' hearts are imprinted with fear of the Liang army. ”

"Huan Wu old thief, it's really vicious!"

When Jin Xin heard what Yang Xian said, he scolded. Unknowingly, he also treated the enemy like this under Huan Wu.

"My lord, what should we do then?"

"Withdraw! Give up the Crow Camp! ”

"What?"

The two generals behind Yang Xian were taken aback. Because the crow camp is the first and most important line of defense of the Shu army, the Shu army has invested a lot of energy in it.

It would be too wasteful to withdraw the army now after only one day.

Twenty miles of mountain road, the Liang army broke through the crow camp, and there were only two camps in front of them: prison grass and trapped beasts. The investment of these two camps is completely inferior to that of the crow camp. At this rate, Liang Jun is afraid that he will be able to rush to Danhu Water Village before sunset tomorrow.

"Prime Minister, this is unwise. Although the crow camp has been dilapidated, it is still too late to build it overnight. The two camps of prison grass and trapped beasts are far less stable than crows! ”

Yang Xian smiled, waved his feather fan, and pointed to the long mountains.

"Who said that you must fight against the Liang army in the two camps of Prison Grass and Trapped Beast? From the crow camp to the trapped beast, the mountain road is only more than ten miles, but in the mountains, there are all ambushes. The order went down, and ordered our army to scout, with Shiwu as a team, to sneak into the mountains and fight. The rest of the people retreated to the two villages. ”

"So... Okay? ”

Whether it is Han Buyi or Jin Xin, there are doubts on their faces. Can you confront the Liang army by attacking alone?

"I want an elite army, not a weak brigade that has been scared. It is useless to forcibly fill human lives, what is a mere line of defense? ”
