Chapter 405: Suffering
Fortunately, his people are not bad, they are all veterans on the battlefield, they are very mobile, and their reactions are also fast, and the two groups of armies fought.
It's just that Li Qing's people are under the city, and they were only besieging the city before, and they are not ready to attack the city, so they can only shoot arrows.
But the city was no less than three zhang, and when the arrows were shot from under the city, the lethality was greatly reduced, and the people on the city tower were all fired with arrows, and the weapons that could hit them were used.
It is only Li Qing who is in a weak position.
"General, they fought, I didn't expect it, the people on the upper floor of this city are so powerful, and Li Qing is not an ordinary person, you can see his ability to unify the army, but I didn't expect to be caught off guard by such a fight, and in the blink of an eye, the brothers under his hands are killed and injured countless times!"
General Ma was still a little excited at the beginning, but the people who looked at Li Qing were dead and wounded, and when was this time, there were no less than 100 dead and wounded.
"Bang Bang~~~"
Before General Ma finished speaking, he heard a gong sound in front of him, and it was Li Qingming who had withdrawn from the army.
In this case, if he doesn't withdraw from the army, I'm afraid that these more than 5,000 people won't survive!
"Alas, this Li Qing, this time, but he suffered a big loss, his brothers are afraid that they have never suffered like this!"
General Ma clapped his hands regretfully, also feeling unworthy for Li Qing.
"Don't you want them to fight? As an orderer, no matter what kind of decision we make, we have to think clearly, we can't let the brothers die in vain, even if it is sacrificed, it must be valuable and meaningful! ”
I shook my head, hoping that General Ma could listen to me, if we really have a strong day in the future, General Ma's status will be even greater, and at that time he will inevitably lead the army to fight alone, and I don't want him to take my people to suffer at that time.
"General, I was reckless, alas, your words made me enlightened!"
General Ma nodded, I believe that he said it from the heart, and he really listened to it.
"It's good that you can understand, but in this battlefield matter, no one is right or wrong, only the best decision, your idea just now is also good, but we have no grievances with them, we can't do that, but I didn't expect them to fight."
Hearing me say this, General Ma grinned and continued to look at the battle situation ahead.
At this time, Li Qing's men and horses retreated towards us. To say that this Li Qing is really a capable person, although he suffered a big loss, he was very orderly when he retreated, he was not flustered at all, and he deserved to be a leading general.
"Not good, General, they're coming towards us!"
The skinny monkey's face changed drastically, and if this guy hadn't said this, I wouldn't have noticed. It seems that Li Qing also fell in love with this forest.
As the saying goes, one mountain does not tolerate two tigers, if this General Li returns and sees us, what should it be, and how will he look at us?
"It's impossible to retreat now, it's too late, just sit back and wait for them to come here!"
Now in this situation, we are also broken jars, after all, we have no way to avoid this situation, we really didn't expect this Li Qing to suddenly lose.
"Report, there is an ambush ahead, there is an ambush!"
But at this time, Li Qing's people also discovered us, and when Li Qing heard the report of his subordinates, his face changed greatly, he looked around, and rushed in another direction with people.
But it was like this, his team was a mess for a while, and it was originally very orderly, but at this time, it was a runaway, a run, where was it still like just now!
Originally, if he retreated in an orderly manner, then it would be impossible for us to fight, at most, it would be embarrassing for both parties to meet.
The people upstairs in the city were still taboo about Li Qing just now, and they didn't dare to rush out with their troops, after all, they were afraid that he would also have an ambush in the woods.
But when such a fork occurs, and his team is in chaos, will the people on the city tower still be afraid? I'm afraid that from time to time, they will lead their troops to rush out.
You must know that on this tower, there are no less than 10,000 people who can see it just now, who knows how many of them there are, if they all rush out, not only Li Qing will suffer, but we will not be able to escape if we are discovered.
"General, what should we do now, in this city, I'm afraid that the chasing soldiers will soon rush out, once we are discovered, what should we do?"
General Ma's face changed drastically, he originally had the advantage of being fearless, but in the blink of an eye, it became our Achilles' heel.
"Don't worry, if they rush out to chase Li Qing's team in a while, we will respond to Li Qing on the flank, and ten thousand arrows will be fired together, we can repel them, if we can, we can take advantage of the situation to attack the city!"
Although my idea sounds ridiculous, this is the only way to do it at this time, it depends on how many troops they send in the city.
"General, are you sure, you must know that Li Qing thinks that we are an ambush army, and the army he is carrying now is blindly retreating and fleeing, how can he respond to us and us? This is no joke, once they only care about withdrawing, we will be wiped out, and if we retreat now, then there may be a chance of survival! ”
General Ma's face changed greatly, and as soon as his words came out, not only the lieutenants under him agreed with his statement, but even the thin monkey also agreed with this.
After all, it was too risky for me to make such a decision.
I also understand their fears, and in their opinion, I am gambling with my brothers' lives, and failure is necessary.
But I thought it was an opportunity, so how could the people in the city think that we would have someone in the woods? After all, Li Qing withdrew in another direction, which helped us.
As long as the other party goes out of the city, we will strike at the right time, and Li Qing will definitely come back.
"Okay, let's do it, General Ma, you take people to the right to make an ambush, and when we fight with the other party, you also come out by surprise and rush out, which can not only strengthen our momentum, but also catch them off guard. Skinny monkey, you go and catch up with Li Qing and them now, tell them about this matter, let them turn around and come back in time to respond to us, and kill these pursuers in one fell swoop! ”
Hearing my arrangement, General Ma nodded, he had nothing to say.
"General Ma, I still have something to explain to you."
General Ma quickly assembled the team, and when he was about to go out, I stopped him in time, and this guy saw that I had something to say, and his face became puzzled again.
"General Ma, you bring 1,500 brothers over, I only need those 200 archers here, if the situation is not good, you can expect to come, if you really can't fight, you can retreat with these brothers, leave us alone!"
This is my sincere words, and I also know that if I say this, General Ma is afraid that he will not agree, but at this critical moment, if the disparity between the strength of the two sides is really too great, then the best thing is to retreat, and we will drag the other party's men and horses.
"General, don't say this, when did I, Ma, be afraid, I thought that my 3,000 people could fight against 30,000 people, this time, even if the other party rushed out of 30,000 people, I wouldn't leave, not to mention that Li Qing still had 5,000 people!"
General Ma said a word, and before I could open my mouth and leave with people, I shouted a few words to him behind me, asking him to lead the troops to leave when the situation was not good, but he did not answer.
Soon, the city really rushed out of the pursuers.
To say that there are really a lot of chasing soldiers, the black pressure has not been finished for a long time, but I am afraid that there are no less than tens of thousands of people.
Seeing so many people on the other side, I secretly marveled in my heart, and then looked at the city tower, but at this moment, there were less than a thousand people guarding the city on the city tower.
It seems that they are pouring out of the city, let me say, they are a small county town, with such an army of tens of thousands of people, it is already unbelievable.
It's just that I don't know who the person who commands the army is, and he must be thinking of annihilating Li Qing's people in one fell swoop, so many people will come out, but this time, he has already suffered a big disaster.
They often didn't think that we would still have people ambushed in the woods, although we were still not as numerous as the other side, but in terms of momentum, we have won, and momentum is definitely the key to victory.
"You go and tell General Ma that he doesn't need to support us for a while, just lead people to attack the city!"
Now our situation has taken a big turn, and there are only a few hundred people defending the city on the other side, and we will go up, and General Ma's 1,500 people are enough to conquer this county seat.
This situation was beyond my expectations, I didn't expect that the other party really sent all the soldiers out of the city to chase and kill, this is good, let me see a big bargain, as long as this county is contributed by us, then the foothold will be used.
I can station troops here, recruit troops, and deal with Wu Sangui when the time comes, so I don't have to worry.
At this moment, Li Qing's side seemed to have received the news that I asked the thin monkey to bring over, and the speed of retreat slowly slowed down. However, the pursuers did not find anything suspicious in it, and the general who led the army shouted a few times, and rushed over first.
When the two armies met, the scene was naturally needless to say, and for a while, the shouts of killing shook the sky, and both sides were killed and wounded.
"Now the time has come, shoot my arrows at their flanks, and charge with me when all the arrows are gone!"
Seeing that the two sides are at war, this is also my chance. The brothers were ordered, and nearly three hundred brothers fired their arrows together, and in the blink of an eye, arrows flew like rain.
Three hundred people shot arrows, and fifty arrows were agreed to be allocated, and after this wave passed, the other side also had to kill and wound thousands of people, and it would be very effective for their period of suppression.
