Chapter 464: The Abandoned Son
The battle situation was stalemate in such a fierce and strange situation, on the one hand, the Han army who tried to achieve results but seemed to be a little hesitant, and on the other hand, the abandoned Qin army who wanted to block the muzzle of the gun with their bodies, at this moment both of them had no intention of starting a war, just secretly rejoicing in order to delay time.
"It's okay, it's okay, Lord Guowei's strategy can be regarded as suddenly scaring the Han army at this moment~!"
Looking at the Han army above the city that seemed to be stunned because of the Qin army's attack that had stopped for some reason at this time, Meng Qi, who was not far from the wall, sighed lightly and said happily.
"However, this method is not a long-term solution after all~! I still need to leave at least 30,000 soldiers and horses to block under this Yangping Pass so that the rest of the troops can retreat smoothly. ”
Meng Qi, who squinted his eyes and calculated, set a suitable number plan for himself, leaving so many 'abandoned sons' in exchange for the opportunity to be a bigger dragon.
In fact, the lieutenant knew Meng Qi's temper, so he left him two choices before leaving, one of which was naturally what Meng Qi thought now, throwing down 30,000 troops as 'abandoned sons', and then the remaining troops quickly retreated, so that these 'abandoned sons' could buy some time for the army, although this method was less damaged than the other one, but it was not recommended to him by the lieutenants, because this method was not very safe, if the Han army saw something in advance, then 30,000 ' It is impossible for the outcasts to stop these Han soldiers who have been recuperating for many days, and the second way is to transfer them just right, and he will select 30,000 soldiers to quietly retreat with all their bows and crossbows. Leaving the remaining 60,000 or 70,000 troops here to fight for themselves without knowing it, although this method is certainly not a small damage. But it is safe, after all, even sixty or seventy thousand pigs are blocked at the gate of Yangping Pass. If the Han army wants to catch it little by little, it will take at least a whole day to catch it, not to mention these people who can resist~!
However, considering that the army under his command had suffered heavy casualties, Meng Qiren was moved to choose the first one, which was an unsafe but humane choice.
This choice is also something that the lieutenants are unwilling to specify, after all, for the sake of the stability of the overall situation, it is natural to give up more soldiers and horses, and if the whole army is withdrawn because of a little problem here and there. Then no matter who they are, they can't bear the result of the annihilation of the 400,000 elite Qin troops on the northern front.
"Pass the order, and when it's time for lunch, except for the 30,000 people left in advance, all of them will quickly retreat~!"
Looking up at the sky where the sun was gradually moving westward, Meng Qi instructed the lieutenant general next to him.
"Oh~!"
……
Meng Qi, the commander of the Qin army not far from the wall, is such a move, and the commander of the Han army on the wall is a different move, they don't know the strange behavior of the Qin army, they are carefully observing the Qin army below on the wall, they are thinking hard. I want to think about the key to breaking the game.
"General Yue, do you want us to attack it?"
Seeing Yue Fei carrying his hands there for a long time without saying a word, Cao Ren, who was a little frizzy, couldn't help but break the tranquility at the moment and asked.
"Not good~!"
Turning his head slightly, he glanced at Cao Ren, who seemed to be a little uneasy no matter what state he was in at the moment, Yue Fei shook his head lightly to express his disagreement.
"But the General. It's not a thing for us to consume like this~! The posture of the Qin army, is it the rhythm of a truce, we received the task of His Majesty is to consume the main force of the Qin army at Yangping Pass. If the Qin army does not attack me and prepares to retreat, then Your Majesty's side ......"
Cao Ren, who was walking around the wall, glanced at the hillside not far behind the gate. Then he said helplessly.
Although they are wearing clothes on their bodies at the moment, they are holding weapons and equipment worth thousands of gold in their hands. But after all, they are still the generals of the Han Dynasty, and as a military general of the Han Dynasty, then the emperor's will is the order they need to obey the most, and now the emperor wants to take the city of Hanzhong, then he needs to consume the 400,000 army into a tired army, and now seven days have passed, although it is a good thing that the Qin army does not attack, but from the perspective of completing the emperor's order, their task seems to symbolize failure today.
"General Yue, there are now more than 46,000 soldiers in the city who have not fought before, plus the tired army of more than 10,000 people who are still able to fight, we can completely carry out a surprise attack on the Qin army under the pass~!"
As a member of the royal family, Meng Hui needs to consider the attitude of the royal family, and other generals can also say that they will not accept foreign military orders and slightly violate the emperor's will, but he can't, as the spokesperson of the royal family in the military, he must always reflect the highest majesty of the royal family and the attitude of the royal family that can not be changed after the order.
So even at this moment, when Meng Hui knew that it was a good choice not to be on standby, he had to say this sentence, of course, just express his attitude, and the final decision was still in the hands of coach Yue Fei~
"Will be outside, the king's order is not subject to it~! General Meng Heng, now that the situation of the Qin army is unknown, and there are no new orders and reinforcements on His Majesty's side, we still have to seek stability, stability~! ”
As the guard of this Yangping Pass, Yue Fei can not answer Cao Ren's question carefully, but for Meng Hui, the first general of the royal family, he still has to answer carefully, especially when Meng Hui still has the heart to set him off......
And his last two sentences of stability made the generals on the city wall speechless, although the current Han army has the strength to fight, but after all, with this bit of soldiers and horses, it will definitely not be able to take the Han army under the wall, so everyone is also down the slope of the donkey silent.
……
Time is a very strange thing, sometimes he passes quickly, very quickly, and what people can see in a blink of an eye is the change of the world like a white cloud and a dog; Sometimes, he also lives very slowly, very slowly, and he can't wait for a reliable result, this sentence, especially for this group of Han generals on the wall, is very useful.
In the embarrassing situation that their strength in their hands can be attacked but cannot be attacked, they can only look at the Qin army below who doesn't seem to know what crazy they are smoking and are stunned~
"Report, Hongling is in a hurry to make an urgent report~!"
Just when the generals on the wall were anxious, a faint shout suddenly sounded in their ears. (To be continued......)
