Chapter Twenty-Six: Isn't It Bad to Retreat in the Face of Difficulties?
Chapter 26: Isn't it good to retreat in the face of difficulties?
"Back to His Royal Highness the Seventh, Datang seems to have transferred most of his troops over there. Judging from the number of military tents, the preliminary estimate is that the number is about 100,000, and in order to prevent us from attacking, trenches have been dug and horses have been set up, and our cavalry has no advantage over them. ”
Hearing the spy say this, Addie sat down in his seat in some frustration, and after a while asked his men, "What do you say you are going to do?" ”
"Your Highness the Seventh, your subordinates are thinking about one thing now." One of the lieutenants stood up: "If there are a large number of people stationed on the other side, how many people can be left at this pass?" If they really have enough men, just jamming the pass will be enough to keep us here, but why would they let us take back the body? And made a promise that we wouldn't actively attack us when we collected the corpses? Even those skeleton soldiers, I think they made up the ghosts. Did they want us to be scared, so they forced us over there to fight them? ”
"But the red gold worm ......"
"Actually, I doubt it's really a red gold worm, otherwise why would they turn a blind eye to the number of corpses down there, and instead lie on the stone wall to form those words, all of these things seem too weird, if there were only one or two of them, I might believe it, but there are so many of them, it's a little suspicious." After the lieutenant general finished speaking, he hugged his fists at Adi and said: "Your Highness the Seventh, it is absolutely impossible for us to bring so many people out empty-handed, now that we are fully prepared to meet the enemy, this pass is our only way out, as long as we rush out of this pass, there is nothing that can stop us from behind." We've seen the tricks of the other side, just be careful of the white dust and mist, and try to attack during the day, so that we don't have to be afraid of their tricks. ”
Obviously, this battle has made many people depressed, and now that they have this deputy general, everyone has begun to think about it carefully, and the more they think about it, the more strange they feel, everything that is happening at this pass now seems to be to let everyone avoid this pass, so as to take another road with the Tang army, but everyone is here to loot, not to attack the city, it is impossible to shake the city, it seems that now the city in front of you is the only way out for everyone to complete the task.
Addie waved his hand: "Okay, let's go down and rest first, let me think about it again!" ”
Knowing Adi's character, although everyone is a little dissatisfied in their hearts, first, he is the main general, and secondly, he is the seventh prince, no matter which identity it is, everyone can't be offended, and he has to be left alone.
When the group had retreated, Addie stood alone in front of the map of the Great Tent, and looked at the map that he had been familiar with for a long time, as if he wanted to find something in the map, but no matter how he looked at it, he felt like everyone else, that if they broke through this barrier, they could achieve their goal. Thinking of this, Adit sighed, and was about to give the order when suddenly a herald came to report, and when he took the urgent message, it turned out to be Ati Khan urging Addie to break through quickly. Adi sighed helplessly again, and said to the soldiers around him: "Call everyone in!" ”
In the distance, the spies standing on a high place discovered the changes in the Beidi military camp, and they immediately raised a banner, seeing this banner, Wu Ling'er smiled bitterly: "There is a road in heaven that you don't take, and there is no door in hell for you to break through!" Isn't it good to retreat in the face of difficulties? ”
Hearing Wu Ling'er's exclamation, Nangong Ye smiled: "That's impossible!" This time they sent so many people out, it was absolutely impossible for them to return empty-handed! Either way, they are bound to attack. Speaking of this, Nangong Ye paused: "But I really admire you, Doctor Lin, you actually sent people to make so many dummies and empty tents over there, those trenches that blocked the cavalry were only a foot deep, and some even made a look, and they could even scare the other party." ”
"I heard you say that Addi's character is cautious, plus they are here to plunder, naturally it is impossible to bring siege tools, there is no barrier to the pass except for this natural danger, as long as they rush through here and occupy here, they can advance and retreat freely, if it were me, I would do the same!" Wu Ling'er sighed: "Send a signal to the brothers in the valley to be careful, the enemy who comes this time will not be as easy as last time." ”
"Rest assured, they know!" Although Nangong Ye said this, he still sent his subordinates to give a signal: "Doctor Lin, have you ever considered staying in the army?" With your intelligence, it won't take long to get promoted, and maybe you'll be the youngest officer in my Tang Dynasty. ”
Wu Ling'er smiled faintly: "Let's talk about these things, let's deal with the things in front of us first." ”
Seeing that Wu Ling'er didn't agree, Nangong Ye was a little disappointed, but he still smiled: "Well, let's finish the battle in front of me first!" He believes that there is no boy who does not like to make meritorious contributions, as long as this battle is over, his father asks for credit for Lin Feng, and if he is an official, Lin Feng will naturally be willing to stay. Then you can fight alongside him.
I don't know why, obviously I am not familiar with this Lin Feng, but Nangong Ye always feels that he wants to be close to him, as if just staying by his side can make his heart very calm. Thinking about it now, it is probably because of Lin Feng's usual ability to control everything, no matter what happens, he can always point to the point, and then find a solution, even if there is no solution, he can also rely on his strength to solve things. It is precisely because of his calmness that he feels particularly safe staying by his side, right?
After noon, watching the Beidi soldiers under the valley first quickly passed a brigade, more than 500 horses and horses quickly rushed through the pass, stopping in the valley The momentum is still a little amazing. After they stopped, they began to look around carefully, and then shot sparse arrows from the hillside, those Beidi people were relieved to see these bows and arrows, such a weak attack just confirmed everyone's previous speculation, in fact, there is really no one to defend here, except for those scary things, there are only less than a hundred archers left, and the cowhide shields in everyone's hands are enough to deal with these archers. There were even people who used their companions' shields as cover and began to draw their bows to counterattack, and after a round of counterattacks, the rain of arrows became more sparse, causing the Beidi people to laugh wildly.
After getting the news, the Beidi soldiers on the other side of the pass rushed through the pass, and when everyone passed through the pass, more than a hundred Tang archers on both sides of the valley had been wiped out by the Beidi people.
