Chapter 370: Retreat and Return
Tang Bi was moved by what this general said, and he narrowed his eyes and looked closely at the Jin army attacking outside the city.
The Jin army's combat strength is weak and its morale is insufficient, which is not a pretend, but a real performance, because no one can pretend to be weak when they are dying.
Now the Jin army attacking the city rushed up and was shot a group, and the corpses under the city were stacked on top of each other, piling up like a mountain, and there were countless of them, and the faces of many Jin soldiers were no longer afraid, but dazed and numb, which was the expression that only recruits who had just entered the battlefield.
It is impossible for Jin Jun to act at the cost of such a large number of casualties, and if he sticks to Ningding, he may really miss the opportunity. It doesn't matter to you, but if the soldiers under your command can't get the merits, then your own sin will be great.
Tang Bi still convinced himself in his heart.
Thinking of this, Tang Bi took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, turned his heart sideways, and said in a deep voice: "Leave 10,000 soldiers to guard the city, and the other brothers, follow me out of the city to meet the enemy!"
Hearing this, the surrounding generals of the You Army all smiled, their faces were full of excitement, and people responded in unison: "The last general obeys the order!"
Chen Ping said that he was using the local army as a pathfinder, but in fact, he was using the local army as a bait, and as a result, Tang Bi really fell for his evil.
Tang Bi didn't know that the 100,000 Jin army outside the southern city of Ludao was the Fourth Army, and since the enemy came together, he naturally mistook it for the local army. He took the initiative to attack, and his target was not the Jin army that was besieging the city, but the 100,000 Fourth Army Corps who were watching the battle. He could see that the commander of the enemy army would be among the 100,000 gold troops, and he would fight as big as he wanted, and it was pointless to entangle with these enemy troops who were besieging the city.
Tang Bi only left 10,000 subordinates to defend the city, and he personally led 40,000 You troops to kill from the south gate. Straight for the Fourth Legion.
At this time, Gu Liangyun was anxious, Chen Ping said that the enemy army would take the initiative to go out of the city to meet the battle, but he did not see the other party move out of the city for a long time, but the local army attacking the city suffered heavy losses, and countless soldiers were killed and wounded. If the fight continues like this, it is estimated that the local army will have to fight hard.
Gu Liangyun couldn't help but want to send the Fourth Army to participate in the battle, but Chen Ping insisted on refusing, he swore that the You army would definitely go out of the city, and Gu Liangyun was also forced by him, pointing at Chen Ping's nose and scolding angrily: "If in another moment, the enemy army has not left the city, I want your head!"
Chen Ping was silent, just nodded with a smile. Raise your eyes and look at Ningding City.
He made a bet with the lives of all the soldiers of the local army, betting that the You army would go out of the city, but Chen Ping won the bet, and the main force of the You army led by Tang Bi really went out of the city and came straight to them.
Seeing that the enemy army was out of the city and coming to his side, Chen Ping's spirit was lifted, and the heart in his throat finally fell back into his stomach. Don't look at his apparent calmness. In fact, he was also very nervous, and the war was ever-changing. No one can 100% predict the next choice for the enemy.
Chen Ping breathed a long sigh of relief, turned to Gu Liangyun and said, "General Gu, the enemy army has really come out of the city to meet our army, and now we must not fight with it, we should retreat immediately and lead the enemy to chase after us." And then besiege it!"
When You Jun came out of the city, Gu Liangyun was really taken aback, not by You Jun, but by Chen Ping's predictions, he even wondered if he would be a prophet. Or how can you be so sure that the enemy army will definitely leave the city?
Now she had to be impressed by Chen Ping, after listening to his words, Gu Liangyun didn't think about it anymore, nodded and said: "Yes! Pass on my military order, and the whole army will retreat!"
Gu Liangyun gave an order, and the rear team of the Fourth Army Corps changed to the front team, and they hurriedly fled backwards.
As soon as the Fourth Army Corps withdrew, the local army besieging the city completely lost its backbone and could no longer support it.
Seeing this, You Jun was even more contemptuous, in the face of such a vulnerable straw bag Jin Army, isn't it a great opportunity for him to make contributions?
After the You army left the city, they pursued the Fourth Legion with all their might, and people almost swarmed around the ass of the Fourth Legion to chase and kill.
The Fourth Army pretended to panic, and when it retreated, it dropped countless banners and armor, which made the You army lighter and lighter the enemy, and the speed of pursuit was faster.
At this time, the Fourth Army, which had fled in a hurry, suddenly stopped retreating, turned around, and the Chinese army did not move, withstood the enemy soldiers, and the two wings were outflanked forward, surrounded by the 40,000 You Legion led by Tang Bi.
There are many Jin soldiers, there are 100,000 people, but even if they are surrounded by the Jin army at this time, You Jun is not afraid, let alone panicked, in their minds, no matter how many Jin troops can not surround them.
But where did You Jun think that this Jin Army was not a local army, but the Central Army of the Jin State, or the Fourth Army of the extremely fierce battle.
When the two sides handed each other, You Jun suddenly realized that the other party was not as vulnerable as he imagined.
The fourth legion is experienced, after surrounding the You army, it did not rush to attack, but first lined up a neat battle formation, and the You army was in direct contact, the innermost row of the Jin army was all heavy shield hands, with the shield to withstand the impact of the opponent at the same time to stabilize their own position, the back of the heavy shield hand is all the Jin army using the long halberd, a sharp halberd tip over the shield hand, probed outside the shield, so that the shield array is like an iron hedgehog, once the You army attacked, not waiting for contact with the shield, it had to be stabbed into a beecomb first.
Behind the halberders, there was a row of axemen and archers, and the axemen were responsible for protecting the archers, so that even if the front camp was broken away by the enemy, the archers would not be directly exposed to enemy attacks.
When the Jin army attacked, the shield array in front of it advanced forward, overloading the enemy's space, and the halberd hand was behind, picking and stabbing the enemy who rushed up, and then the archers behind only needed to release arrows into the enemy's camp, which was the three-dimensional attack method of the Fourth Army.
The You army did not choose to break through from all sides, but concentrated its forces and attacked the central army of the Jin army.
The You army fought bravely, and even when they saw countless edges ahead, the soldiers still rushed forward with all their might. Before the You army running in front reached the camp of the Jin army, it was pierced by Rulin's halberd, and the You army behind continued to top, stepping on the corpses of his companions and crashing into the shield array of the Jin army.
For a while, the muffled sound of the blades on the battlefield piercing the body and the roar of armor hitting the shield came and went, and the You troops who fell in front of the Jin army camp were lined up one after another, but under such a fierce attack, the Jin army's camp did not take a step back, but continued to squeeze forward.
As soon as the connoisseur makes a move, he will know if there is one. Just looking at the battle between the two sides, Tang Bi in the crowd of You Jun immediately realized that something was wrong, this batch of Jin troops was completely different from the wave of Jin troops besieging the city, the fighting style was rigid, there were rules and regulations, the formation was skillful, and the cooperation was also tacit.
Tang Bi thought about it carefully, and couldn't help but gasp, could he have fallen for the Jin Army's plan to lure the snake out of the hole?
Now Tang Bi Ke couldn't hold his breath, while directing the soldiers in front to attack forward, he also ordered the partial generals on the left and right to lead their troops and break through to the other three sides.
You wanted to break through the siege at this time, it was too late, the Fourth Army had already laid out the iron cylinder formation tightly, and it was not leaky, even if You Jun had wings on his back, it was difficult to fly out of the encirclement.
Under Tang Bi's mobilization, the attack of the You army was no longer so calm, only attacking the central army of the Jin army, but changing to break through on all sides.
The battle between the two sides was then in full swing and entered a white-hot level. (To be continued......)
