Chapter 274: Questionable Motives
Then Jin An kept sending troops to harass him.
I have to say that because of the defeat of General Weiyuan, Jin An's reputation has climbed to a very high height, and before the fight, Xue Zhao always thought that Jin An would have a set of methods, but when it actually started, it was not the same thing at all.
Jin An is like a scoundrel, he can't beat others, he harasses others, constantly annoys you, you and him are serious, he will run.
It seemed that he had given up on treatment, just to let out a few bad breaths, and he would have the energy to do this all the time before he was eliminated by Xue Zhao.
After harassing Jin An for more than ten days, Xue Zhao had already determined that Jin An was bluffing, and he began to attack Jin An.
In addition to the fact that the troops were outside, he also had to consider that those people above the court would blow the wind on Li Zenan, so he couldn't wait too long.
But Jin An did become particularly obscene, and seeing that Xue Zhao began to attack, he began to pack his luggage and ran away again.
Because it was determined in advance that there were no troops outside Jinling City that could threaten him, Xue Zhao did not let him go, so he began to chase.
Before night, Xue Zhao chased Jin An from the northeast of the city to the southwest corner of the city, and after a fight, Jin An lost, so he ran faster.
Xue Zhao did not choose to attack Jinling City directly, although that city was right in front of him, and he also chased Jin An around for half a circle.
Because he knew that Jin An was his henchman after all, if he didn't solve Jin An, he wouldn't have the courage to put down his heart to attack Jinling.
So, so be it.
In the next two days, Xue Zhao led the army to chase Jin An, Jin An kept fleeing in the Jinling territory, occasionally stopping to fight with Xue Zhao a few times, and then fled quickly after a few small defeats.
On the third day, Jin An fled outside Jinling City and stopped.
Xue Zhao also stopped, and did not pursue, probably because both sides ran a little panting.
Xue Zhao, who had always been calm, was a little annoyed this time, he felt that he was being tricked by Jin An, and that guy was just stalling for time.
Jin An was sure that he was not Xue Zhao's opponent, and he didn't want to lose the army and then be beheaded by Ji Ruhai and take responsibility, but he had nothing to do, so he had to keep delaying time, and if he was caught up, he would fight, and he would run again, anyway, Xue Zhao would not be able to do anything to him in a short time, and if he was lucky enough to run out of food and grass, he might withdraw from Jinling, which would be better.
That guy has a good calculation!
After Jin An lost so many times, whether it was casualties or fleeing soldiers, his current strength was only more than 50,000, so this also means that even if he delays again, he will not be able to get any benefits, and it will only be him Jin An who will be destroyed at that time.
Xue Zhao had no other better way, so the next day, after a little rest, he attacked again.
was led away like fishing, and the elite guards under him were all holding back the fire in their stomachs, and the momentum was like eating people.
So Jin An ran away again......
The gate of Jinling City was closed, there was no movement, as if he was dead, and no one from His Majesty to the ministers to the people made any statement about Jin An's disgraceful military behavior.
Jin An kept running around such a city, and Xue Zhao chased after him with anger.
In fact, in the future, a long time later, there will still be some people who will question Jiang Tunshui's broken idea - is this really the idea that a later generation of famous generals came up with?
What a bad idea.
But it's a pity, it's true, that is, Jiang Swallowing Water's idea, although it can't turn the tide, but a simple, small setback of Xue Zhao is still enough.
The city of Jinling City is very large, and the huge city wall stretches over, which is very magnificent, and Jin An is ready to take Xue Zhao on a day trip around the city wall.
Xue Zhao decided to completely solve such a big trouble as Jin An today, and no matter how bad it was, he would cripple that guy.
Jin An passed by the Jiagang Gate.
Xue Zhao also passed by the Jiagang Gate.
Then Jin An suddenly stopped, revealing his fierce fangs.
Xue Zhao hesitated, he stopped his troops very cautiously, feeling that something was not quite right.
And then it turned out that something was very wrong.
Behind them, the 30,000 troops who had entered Jinling City and were ready to hold on to them suddenly appeared in the distance, sandwiched between them with Jin'an's 50,000 army.
Xue Zhao realized at this time that he had actually been fooled, but he quickly calmed down and organized his troops to prepare to resist.
Jin An's troops and the 30,000-strong army began to charge.
……
……
This battle was not a big deal in history, but it turned out to be meaningful and far-reaching.
But all this is not visible for the time being.
Under the head-to-head confrontation, it is difficult for Jin An's troops to have a real fight with Xue Zhao, the combat effectiveness of the army, and Xue Zhao's command ability, the lack of any of them may give Jin An the strength to fight with him, but the two are superimposed, and he can't help it.
Therefore, after playing yin, the Southern Wu people found that in fact, this group of forbidden troops of the Northern Tang Dynasty was not as invincible as they imagined.
They will also be a little flustered, and they will also be killed and wounded.
In this battle, Jin An can be said to have made a good mistake, not only did he personally lead the troops to charge, but Guan Kuo, Tie Shanwu, Guan Liandian, Jiang Tunshui, Zhu Weijiang, Zhao Yanshuang, Zhang Lianyue, Guan Bangyun, Jin Xiaoyun and others were all on the line, it can be said that as long as they can lift their weapons, they all fight and kill desperately.
Things are already like this, Xue Zhao is becoming more and more clear about the situation, he is arranging in an orderly manner, and at the same time he is very clear that he can't continue to fight with Jin An today, and he is ready to retreat.
The combat effectiveness of the forbidden army and his Xue Zhao's commanding ability cooperate with each other, and it is true that the advance can be invincible, and the retreat can eliminate all difficulties.
They held the line very firmly, then with few casualties, and withdrew.
Flying flags and covering the sky and the sun, this group of forbidden troops really seemed to leave in a beautiful way after visiting the land of Jinling, especially Jinling City.
It didn't look like a defeat at all—when they weren't.
However, Jiang Tunshui's suggestion has been useful, and Jin'an's goal has been achieved.
The crisis seems to have been lifted in this way, although only temporarily, for Jinling City and for the people of Southern Wu.
Xue Zhao temporarily retreated, and he should not organize a terrifying attack in a short period of time.
The people of Nanwu did not dare to breathe a sigh of relief, and a conspiracy was going on in an orderly manner.
