Chapter 830: The Enemy Wants to Run
Only by anticipating the enemy's opportunity can we win thousands of miles.
Qin Huaidao speculated that the Turkic army outside the city might run, but before running, it would definitely be a fight, and the crazy attack just now was enough to prove that if the army hadn't arrived, the attack would not stop, after all, the ladder was lost, the wood was hit, and if you want to attack, you need to rebuild, you can't do it in a day, and in the case of lack of food, a day is precious.
But speculation is speculation after all, it can't be done accurately, fighting is not child's play, Qin Huaidao didn't immediately answer Xue Wanche's invitation to fight, but turned to look at the enemy army outside the city and thought to himself, indifferent.
Xue Wanche didn't dare to disturb and waited patiently.
The breeze was gusting, and the flags crackled, reminding everyone that the war had not yet receded.
Dorjee led the army from the west to the north of the city, and chose a small hillside three miles away from the city to camp, this distance is very tricky, if the Turks attack the city from the north, everyone can form a front and rear attack with the friendly forces in the city at any time, and can defend or attack independently, making the Turks uncomfortable.
Fang Yiai's side is also camping and orderly.
Invisibly, the four armies of Duoji, Chengchi, Luo Ying and Fang Yiai formed a semi-circular encirclement of the Turkic army, eyeing the sky with murderous spirit.
Turkic Army, in front of the Great Tent.
Mo Heshe was also observing the Hanzhou army, his face was gloomy and a little terrifying, and there was a coldness on his body, which made the surrounding guards instinctively take a few steps back, for fear of causing an unwarranted disaster.
A veteran came over in a hurry, saluted and said: "My lord, I have long heard that the Hanzhou army is coming, hurry up and hurry, it is still a step late, and I didn't expect so many people from the Hanzhou army to come, and my subordinates have carefully observed it just now, I am afraid that there are more than 200,000 ......."
"Uncle, you are a veteran of the battlefield and have rich experience, how is the combat strength of the Hanzhou Army?" Mo Heshe asked in a cold voice, his expression indifferent, unable to see what he was thinking.
The veteran hesitated for a moment, but still said truthfully: "My lord, if you are not a subordinate, you will be prestigious, the combat strength of the Hanzhou army last night and the fight just now is enough to see that it is not bad, especially the fierce fighting style of counterattack before death is very tricky, our army has more than 10,000 people killed since yesterday, and there are less than 60,000 soldiers who can fight, and the strength is not as good as the opponent. ”
"What do you want to say?" Mo Hesheh turned around and stared at the veteran.
The veteran said truthfully in the face of questioning: "My lord, the Hanzhou army came from afar, and there is not much grain and grass, only by defending the city can there be a way to live, our army also has not much food and grass, and it needs to take the city to have a chance to survive, both sides have no way to retreat, the only way to fight to the end, but our army is less than half of the opponent's strength, not to mention that the other party still has the city in hand, and our army has little chance of winning if it fights, once the loss is large, it will be difficult to get out." ”
"Is this what you mean, or is it everyone's meaning?"
"Back to my lord, it is the meaning of subordinates, and it is also the meaning of everyone."
Mo Heshe was indifferent, thinking to himself, although he also wanted to run in his heart, but he couldn't say it himself, and now the veteran said it on behalf of everyone, and he had steps, but, really just run?
Still unwilling?
Thinking of the massive supplies and family in the city, and the gentle, tender women in a few rooms, Mo Heshe was dripping blood in his heart, and he was very unwilling, and finally supported Ye Hu Khan to ascend to the throne, one person under ten thousand people, but now he has to leave his foundation and find another way to make a living, how can he be willing?
The veteran saw Mo Heshe's unwillingness, and he was unwilling, but he still persuaded again: "My lord, when you continue to suffer from the chaos, if everyone insists on the big, the soldiers will fight to the death, if you withdraw, you will also decide as soon as possible to avoid being surrounded, and the subordinates are worried that the Hanzhou army is still on the way." ”
"Where can you go if you leave?" Mo Heshe said unwillingly.
"To the west, take Ashi Bulai City, Julan City to Dawan's Baishui City, and then wait and see what happens."
"Dawan?"
A gleam flashed in Mo Heshe's eyes, when he arrived in Dawan, he could continue to the west, and he could also go south to rest in peace, and more importantly, there were many tribes along the way, and after all the annexation, the army could grow to more than 300,000, and the Turkic Golden Tent would be re-established, wouldn't it be better to call himself Khan?
As for the family, remarrying, in life, as long as you live, everything is possible.
Wasn't this how the Turks multiplied throughout the ages?
The veteran saw that Mo Heshe was tempted, and continued: "My lord, if our army retreats westward, the Hanzhou army will inevitably advance eastward to relieve the siege of Yuegong City, and then there will be 200,000 pro-troops of Ye Hu Khan to drag the Hanzhou army, and our army can calmly advance westward and continue to grow. ”
Mo Heshe was still a little unwilling, and said in a deep voice: "Are you so sure that our army will be defeated? The Battle of Moon Bow City will not be long in coming, and when Ye Hu Khan leads his army to kill, he will surely win a great victory. ”
"But by that time our army has already suffered heavy losses, and there are only two ways waiting for us, either to be split or annexed, either of which is not a good thing."
Mo Heshe was indifferent again, it was too common for the Turkic tribes to fight and kill each other, and to annex each other, if it weren't for the unity of the five major tribes, it wouldn't be where it is today.
The veteran saw that Mo Heshe had already made a plan, so he stopped in moderation, bowed down, and retreated.
Just a few steps away, Mo Heshe's voice sounded: "Uncle, tell everyone to prepare quietly, not to be exposed, alarm the Hanzhou army, evacuate after lunch, and go west." ”
"Your Excellency is wise!" The veteran saluted solemnly and hurried away.
Mo He let out a long sigh of relief, and the whole person relaxed, as for whether this was a betrayal, whether it would bring trouble to Ye Hu Khan, in the face of the destruction of the clan, the life and death of others did not matter.
can help Ye Hu Khan to ascend to the throne, why can't he pull off the horse?
If you can get on the throne yourself, why don't you be a khan?
The order was quickly conveyed, and the Turkic army quietly prepared to retreat, but there was still a large army on the periphery, staring at the opponent in front of it, and there was no sign of it.
After lunch, the army suddenly marched and went along the road from which it came, and soon went up the mountain.
Broken Leaf City, Agency.
Qin Huaidao was eating, chatting, and cultivating feelings with Xue Wanche and other division-level generals, when the news came, everyone was stunned, and they were still fighting to death in the morning, so they ran away? It shouldn't be.
Everyone looked at Qin Huaidao.
Qin Huaidao immediately asked people to bring a map, which was found in the office and drawn on sheepskin, which was very simple, only standardizing the place name, the general road trend and the form of the landscape along the way, which was better than nothing.
The others gathered around, staring at the map and saying nothing.
After a while, Xue Wanche broke the silence: "King Han, the enemy army returns the same way, it is possible to go to Moon Bow City, or it is possible to play tricks, wait until the right place to divert to the west, it is impossible to go north, there is a desert, and the north is the territory of the Tuqi Shi, and the strength is not much weaker than the five crossbows, so you can only go to the west, or go east to the Moon Bow City." ”
"What do you guys think?" Qin Huaidao looked at several division commanders.
Everyone exchanged glances, and expressed their attitudes one after another, some agreed to go to Moon Bow City, and some agreed to go west, their opinions were not unified, and finally they all looked at Qin Huaidao.
Qin Huaidao looked at Luo Wu and advised: "You take a battalion of men and horses to follow, follow from a distance, you can't be exposed, and you can inform the enemy's location at any time." ”
Waiting for Luo Wu to agree, Qin Huaidao pointed to the location of the Broken Leaf River on the map and said: "The Broken Leaf River is in the west, and it is also the only source of water for the west, once the Turkic army goes west, no matter how it detours, it must cross the river to get water, and the army has a full meal and goes west." ”
"Obey!" Everyone was overjoyed and received their orders.
Qin Huaidao looked at Xue Wanche: "Old General Xue, the ambush point is very important, you can't make mistakes, you can find some guides, and then carefully interrogate where the water level is shallow, where it is conducive to the passage of the army, leave a division and the wounded to defend the city, lead other soldiers and horses to ambush quickly, prepare more feather arrows, be sure to block, this king leads the troops to follow far away, avoid exposure, and frighten the enemy, once the battle starts, the army will be surrounded and will be decided in a battle." ”
"Obey!" Xue Wanche received the order again and was overjoyed.
"But what if you don't go west?" A division commander raised concerns.
"That's okay, this king will send someone to keep an eye on it, if the enemy army goes to Moon Bow City, withdraw the troops." Qin Huaidao said in a deep voice, his eyes flashed, if it weren't for the fact that the Turks were taking the mountain road, which was not conducive to attacking, they would directly lead the troops to cover the killing.
Do you want to run? There are no doors!
As soon as everyone thought it made sense, their eyes flashed and they were eager to try.
