Chapter 73 of the fourth "Festival in the Wind" is mysterious

Will it die, is it because of this?

Feng Jinjie looked at all directions with cold eyes, and suddenly countless Chen Jun poured out.

In previous wars, the Mosha tribe was worthy of constantly harassing the grain routes of the Chen army with them. With an army traversing the desert, long supply lines and extremely difficult to maintain in the wind and sand, no warmaker will give up the opportunity to strike at such an obvious weakness.

This time, Chen's army attacked with 80,000 horses, which was more than enough manpower, and it would be strange if he did not strengthen the defense of the supply line after suffering so many losses.

Deliberately set a trap with a grain cart to lure the grain robber to appear, and any smart enough general will not let go of this opportunity.

Looking up, Chen Jun's banner was everywhere. There were mighty armies everywhere, and the black oppressive war horses roared in, and the sound of shouting and killing suppressed the wind and sand of the desert.

It seems that there are tens of thousands of horses, but it's a pity......

Feng Jinjie raised his eyebrows slightly, looking around at the soldiers, it seems that such a battle is far from enough to spare my life.

Three thousand iron horsemen, surrounded by him, watching countless Chen troops approaching, not to mention people, even the war horses did not make any extra sound.

Everyone's expressions were calm and composed, the sword was unsheathed, the arrow was wound, and what they were waiting for was only an order from the commander.

They are the most elite army in Dingyuan Pass, the most brave soldiers, they are the soldiers who are personally taught by the god of war, they have enough war experience, enough courage, enough confidence, and enough preparation to meet any difficult battle.

Feng Jinjie smiled slightly and nodded at the knife.

The knife, which had long been unable to hold it, suddenly raised his hand, and a strange color flew straight into the nine heavens, and countless brilliant sparks burst out in the sky in an instant. The light is dazzling and visible for miles.

At the same time, with a wave of the wind, the three thousand iron horsemen were like three thousand whirlwinds, rushing straight to the place where the enemy had the most troops and surrounded the thickest.

As soon as the two sides came into contact, there was already a river of blood.

Life was gone like smoke and dust, and everywhere there was splashing blood, flying limbs, and screams, howls, falling to the ground, the sound of steel knives cutting into flesh, all the same.

"The enemy has retreated, retreated." The news brought by the messenger out of breath made all the generals in the entire Dingyuan Pass climb the city tower and look at the tent under the city.

Ten days ago, Chen Guo's army appeared in their sight, and when Lu Dongli took advantage of their time to set up camp, he ordered the heavy general to lead his troops to rush outside the city and kill a few battles, and won a lot.

But in the end, the Chen army was outnumbered and gradually stabilized, and Lu Dongli was never willing to be greedy for merit, so that Mingjin withdrew his troops.

Since then, Chen's army has organized many sieges, but they have been steadily repulsed.

In the blink of an eye, after several days of attacking and defending, before the victory or defeat was decided, Chen Guo's 80,000 army had already begun to organize a retreat.

Most of the generals were overjoyed: "It must be the Jinjie side that has succeeded." ”

Lu Dongli looked solemn and worried: "I never doubted that the Jinjie would not succeed, but ...... Don't you think it's strange? Their army of 80,000 attacked so vigorously, but the attack and defense in the past few days were just mediocre, that is, they did not exhaust their troops, and they were not particularly intense, and they were not even as desperate as when 30,000 or 40,000 horses came to attack before, as if they were deliberately preserving their strength, and they did not swear to seize the city at all. ”

The faces of the generals faded with joy, everyone looked at each other a few times, and finally someone said: "Actually, we also feel that something is wrong." However, our city is strong and never relaxed. They are isolated from the city, and even if they have any tricks, they will hardly have a chance to use them. ”

"Yes, if they are small in number, there are 30,000 or 40,000, we still guess that they will not be able to attack the city, so they will simply attack a few games, and if they can't win, they will leave, and it is good to make a difference, but they have a full 80,000 horses, and the total number of soldiers in our city is less than 30,000.

Lu Dongli looked fixedly at the Chen army who had withdrawn neatly under the city: "Also, they withdrew their troops too quickly." What if the festival cut off their food routes? They have only been here for a few days, and the food stocks they brought with the team can guarantee at least half a month of fighting, and they withdrew their troops so quickly, I am afraid that there is something else in this that we do not know. In any case, an army of 80,000 will never be able to fight in vain. ”

He quickly recalled in his heart that in ancient and modern battles, the various possibilities of the temporary withdrawal of the army, in addition to the exhaustion of grain and grass, the most common possibility is that the commander died in battle, and there are changes in the country.

The boss was killed, although they were not found on the battlefield. But it is not uncommon for even the most remarkable general to be killed by the stray arrow of some inconspicuous creep when the war is about to be won.

If the commander of the enemy army is wounded on the battlefield and is rescued into the camp by his personal guards, and after being seriously wounded and dying, the generals do not report the mourning and withdraw in time, which is the most correct and wise way to do so.

However, looking at the retreat of the Chen army, in an orderly manner, without any panic, the rear army pulled out the camp and set up camp, the front army lined up to escort them, and left in a uniform manner, without the calm and calm command of many generals, it would never have been possible to do so well.

If the coach dies, can the generals still be so calm?

If it is a domestic change, then ......

He was secretly thinking to himself, and the general next to him asked in a low voice: "Marshal, do you want to send troops to pursue?" ”

When the enemy army retreats, it is the most common method of warfare in wartime to pursue with light horses and fast horses. In terms of technique, it is sometimes more difficult to retreat than to march. After all, there are too many soldiers, and the highest commander's orders are passed down layer by layer, and there will inevitably be deviations in meaning. When the army retreats, any small change or chaos may cause panic and chaos in the entire army.

Taking advantage of the enemy's retreat to pursue the other side, sometimes, even a defeated army can get a great sweetness from the victor's side.

annals

In many battles, the side that clearly has the advantage in the big war suffered heavy losses when retreating.

The generals of Dingyuan Guan knew early that if Feng Jinjie's operation was successful, Chen's army would withdraw sooner or later, and they also prepared the elite cavalry for the pursuit early in the morning.

However, at this time, Lu Dongli just shook his head quietly: "You see that the operation of the army under the city is so neat and subtle. It seems that they have been preparing for this retreat for a long time, and they will never give us the slightest opportunity. If we send cavalry, not only will we not be able to fight cheaply, but it is very likely that they will swallow one of our elites for nothing, so let's wait and see what happens for the time being. ”

All the generals obeyed his words, and they all accompanied him quietly at the head of the city to wait for Chen's army to completely withdraw. Then he sent a scout horse to investigate Chen Jun's movements.

Chen's army was indeed retreating, and there was nothing strange about it, and the mighty procession crossed the desert and went all the way it came.

The Tanma of Dingyuan Pass kept reporting the news of Chen Jun to Hui Fei, Chen Jun's retreat route, daily itinerary, and all the information, all in great detail, among them, it was impossible to find the slightest strangeness, but this was the biggest strangeness.

After reading this information, everyone was stunned, but they didn't feel much joy.

That's the end of it. There was no bloody battle, no life-threatening blow, no perseverance, just two fights and ran away so lightly, what did these 80,000 people do?

Everyone is considered a general in a hundred battles, and they have never encountered such a strange thing.

After discussing with everyone for several days, Lu Dongli had to revise the book first to inform the court of the war situation. On the one hand, Tanma still has to be sent out constantly, beware of Chen Ren's other tricks, on the other hand, Quanding Yuanguan must not be relaxed, continue to be on guard, everyone wait for the wind festival to come back.

Maybe being in the desert, in the rear of Chen Jun's Feng Jinjie, will know something else they don't know.

It's a pity that nothing is clear about the Wind Festival. So after the battle, the sergeants around him were happy, but he himself was always sullen.

That time to rob the grain, Chen Jun set up an ambush in advance and waited for him to jump in.

It's a pity that he's not a prey to be caught obediently.

In the past, all the attacks were carried out by the Mosha people, and they fought to lose as many people as possible, and they also wanted to snatch the grain back and take it for themselves.

Feng Jinjie did not have such scruples, he knew that across the 80,000 army of Chen State, it was impossible for him to transport the grain cart to Dingyuan Pass, so as soon as he defeated the grain transport team, he immediately poured oil on it and burned it, and under the sky-high firelight, he led the iron cavalry around him to plunge into the center of the Chen army surrounded by four sides like a steel knife.

They were not dragged down by grain carts, and the whole cavalry was extremely agile and brave. Under the leadership of the Wind Festival, he was invincible, and wherever he passed, he tore a hole in the sword forest.

But he didn't just want to escape, but just led the cavalry to fight around. His subordinates have been in war for a long time, they are fast and strong, although the number is very small, but they come and go like the wind, and tens of thousands of Chen troops cannot create a situation of encirclement for them at all, but are constantly attacked by them, each time they are involved in the encirclement of hundreds of people, so that they can be wiped out in small groups one by one.

In such a grappling and tearing up, Zhao Jun's fighting spirit became stronger and stronger. However, Chen's army with an army of 10,000 people was still unable to get 3,000 people, and gradually became a little tired and scattered, and his fighting spirit was weakened.

At this time, the warriors of the Mosha tribe who received the fireworks signal of the Fengjinjie suddenly appeared, ambushed on all sides, and the elite cavalry of the Fengjinjie advanced both inside and outside, and fought before and after.

Therefore, the already tired Chen army was shocked and frightened, and the army's morale was dispersed early, and it was difficult to organize an effective counterattack and a firm counterattack. Obviously, the number is still superior, but there is not enough fighting spirit, and there are few people who stand up to meet the enemy, and many people scatter and flee.

After such a fierce battle, Chen's army was almost completely annihilated, and only more than 1,000 horsemen barely escaped.

Feng Jinjie was originally guarding against his own death in this battle. After all, no matter how powerful an individual's bravery is, his role in the Ten Thousand Horse Army is limited. It has never been inevitable that generals will die in battle, and there are too many things for a hero to be accidentally slaughtered by an unknown person.

But I didn't expect that after the battle, he didn't even have oily skin? Break a piece. Stunned to see the soldiers cheering and cheering, the Mosha patriarch looked at him with extremely admiring eyes, and he had to wave his hand in response to the occasion and say a few words to encourage the army.

Of course, the danger is not over yet.

After this battle was over, they would definitely not be able to pass through Chen Jun's camp and return to Dingyuan Pass.

He took his men and horses back to the Mosha tribe's garrison to rest, preparing to find an opportunity to attack and harass the rear of Chen's army. With Dingyuan Pass, there will be a front and back attack, and at that time, on the battlefield, it will be equally dangerous.

Unexpectedly, before he started to deploy here, Chen Guo's army began to withdraw its troops.

Feng Jinjie had few men and horses, so of course he would not run to attack the retreating team of the Chen army, so he could only hide on the way back to China, and watched their army leave quickly.

Xiaodao and other soldiers were all overjoyed, this battle was over, they won, Chen Guoren had withdrawn, and there should be another period of worry-free life.

Speaking of which, these Chen people are really getting more and more useless, 80,000 horses, just running away quietly.

Feng Jinjie also wondered, how to do it, even if Chen Jun cut off the grain route, the food of the army could be used for at least a month, but now, in less than half a month, they are going home.

What are these 80,000 people doing here? Is it a playhouse?
