Chapter XXVI Withdrawal

"Hou Ye" Wu Yang hurried to arrive under the protection of several foreign guards. "The barbarians gathered heavy troops to storm Jingyang Town, which was about to be overwhelmed, and the soldiers were seriously attritional, if they did not send reinforcements, Jingyang Town would not be protected. ”

Ye Qing took a breath, "If Jingyang Town is broken, the enemy can flank our army in the abdomen, and second, send a small group of men and horses to go straight to Dingzhou City, although there is no threat, it will inevitably cause panic in the territory." Jingyang Town can't be lost. ”

"But Master Hou, we don't have any reserves in our hands anymore, and all the troops have been put into battle. Wu Yang said a little anxiously. "Master Hou, why don't you transfer Song Yu's garrison. ”

"The garrison soldiers have limited combat effectiveness, and they are also responsible for the defense of the entire territory, maintaining law and order in the territory, and there is no room for mistakes. Moreover, the position of the garrison soldiers is too scattered and cannot be assembled for a while, so it is better not to move. Bing, where are the soldiers?" Ye Qing muttered.

"Transfer troops from Anning Town, and transfer 30,000 people from there to Jingyang Town. Ye Qing made up his mind.

"Master Hou, if you transfer 3,000 people from Anning Town, then Anning will basically not be able to hold it, and it will also threaten the flank of our army," Wu Yang said.

Ye Qing smiled slightly, "Hehe, have you forgotten who is responsible for attacking Yi'an?"

"Aqining tribe" Wu Yang blurted out.

"Yes, it is precisely because it is him that I dare to transfer troops to leave. Ye Qing said.

"But Master Hou, now the whole form is still a little superior in the barbarians, and Aqining, the grass on the wall, can't fall to our side. Wu Yang was a little worried.

Ye Qing said in a deep voice: "It's okay, send someone to warn first, and at the same time order the three fortresses on the first line of Dagang Town to go out of the city to fight." to alleviate the pressure on the defense line of Shahe Town. We only need to hold on for more than ten days, twenty days at most. ”

The camp of Namor in the grassland, Namor as the temporary commander of this army, his heart is even more anxious, he has been stalemate in Shahe Town for so long, although it seems to be improving every day, but it seems to be far away from completely breaking through Shahe Town, the human race has suffered heavy losses, but the price he has paid is much more than that of his opponent, the two-to-one casualty ratio makes Namo almost crazy, in order to maintain the pressure on Shahe Town, he constantly transferred troops from the three parts responsible for containment under the three fortresses, although he maintained a strong pressure in Shahe Town, but correspondingly, the Dingzhou soldiers of the three fortresses began to fight more boldly out of the city, constantly attacking their own grain routes, intercepting and killing their own baggage, making their logistical pressure heavier and heavier.

Although the number of newly arrived reinforcements is not very large, only 10,000, it is the essence of the Blood Eagle Tribe, known as the Blood Eagle Praetorian Guard, also known as the Blood Eagle Army, and Yue Suo, the commander of the Blood Eagle Tribe, is a first-class fierce general of the Blood Eagle Tribe.

The arrival of the 10,000 Blood Eagle Army led by Yue was almost a snow send, and Namo, in his ecstasy, immediately launched an attack on the defense line of Shahe Town again, and Ye Qing's army banner could already be clearly seen. But the closer you get to the core area of the other side, the stronger the resistance becomes, and for several days, Namo will not be able to advance an inch.

When Namo was anxious, An Ning Town, the expression on Aqi Ning's face was also uncertain, as far as a careerist like him was concerned, it was best for Qin Wuling and the Blood Eagle Tribe to lose both of them, otherwise if either of them won a big victory, they would have to settle accounts with him in the end.

And today, when the two armies had just finished a day of fierce fighting, Qin Wu led people to his camp unexpectedly, and it was no one else, it was actually a pivotal figure in Qin Wu's army, Wu Yang.

"You're so daring. Don't be afraid that I'll kill you. "Aqinin is eerie.

Wu Yang smiled and said, "Patriarch Ah Qining, I came today to tell you a piece of news. ”

"What's the news?"

"The battle between our army and the huskies is about to make the final decisive battle, and he huskies still want to make the last dying struggle, Patriarch Aqining, do you want to accompany the huskies to perish together, or make another wise choice? There is not much time left for you to choose, and today the Hou Ye sent me to ask you to make a choice as soon as possible. ”

Aqining hesitated for a moment, "It's not far off for the defense line of Shahe Town to be broken through, it seems that victory still belongs to us, why should I choose you?"

Wu Yang pursed his lips and sneered: "Is it? Did Patriarch Aqining think so, or did Namo tell you so? Shahe Town, can you really conquer it in a short time? Don't forget, you spent almost a month, paid nearly 100,000 casualties, and still haven't touched the edge of Shahe Town, how much time do you think you have to spend it?"

"Take 10,000 steps back, even if you win in Shahe Town, so what? We retreat to the next town, with the strength of the city wall, is it possible for you to take it? Even if you take it, how many people will die, not to mention that your logistics are almost gone, without logistics materials, how will you survive this winter. When the time comes, as long as we defend the city, we can trap you to death. ”

Ah Qining sat down dejectedly, Wu Yang said well, even if Ye Qing failed in Shahe Town, he might still retreat to other cities, at that time, even if the grassland army could get supplies by plundering the interior of the territory and solve the logistics crisis, but if you want to lay down a city, it is not possible to do it in a short time, in addition to the long-term siege of the army, the strong attack, A Qining is not sure at all, not to mention, most of his clansmen are still on the grassland, without the protection of these warriors under his command, it will be difficult to survive.

"What do you want?" he said.

Wu Yang smiled and said: "Patriarch Aqining, a long time ago, you showed us your possible choice, so in order to show your sincerity, we will transfer most of the troops in Anning Town, and at the same time, if you want to retreat, we can open the fortress of Qingshui Town, you can go from there without being intercepted by our troops, and the other tribes will not be so lucky." ”

"I'm going to think, I'm going to think," Aqinin muttered.

Wu Yang knew that this matter could not be rushed, anyway, the purpose of his coming here was not to force this guy to surrender immediately, as long as he could withdraw the troops of Anning Town from under his nose, it was enough, and he stood up at the moment, "Okay, you can think about it, but the time can't be too long, Patriarch Aqining, our Hou Ye said, you must make a choice immediately, if the overall situation has been decided, you choose again, it will not be worthwhile, only at this time, is the snow to send charcoal, the icing on the cake is destined to not have much benefit." ”

A Qining's lips moved, but he didn't make a sound, Wu Yang clasped his hands into fists, saluted, and turned away. That night, the 30,000 soldiers of Anning Town opened the city gate and drove away in a big way under the noses of the barbarians, but the barbarian camp was silent and did not react to it at all.

Immediately, Jingyang Town, who had received 30,000 reinforcements, stood firmly, which made Yue Suo, who didn't know why, a little flustered, Jingyang Town's already precarious defense line suddenly stabilized, and a large number of reinforcements were obtained, which was completely different from his previous judgment, could it be that the battle was fought to this extent, Ye Qing actually had reserves in his hands that had not been invested? Otherwise, the army from where he came to support Jingyang Town? Hesitating, he slowed down the pace of the attack, and sent someone to report the situation to Namor.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, Namo stood alone in front of the gate, and Ye Qing's army in Shahe Town in the distance was fluttering in the wind, attacking Shahe Town for more than a month, but the defense line that seemed to be broken by a stab was still standing in front of him, and it seemed that he could scoop it down as long as he added a handful of force, but he was always disappointed, and it seemed that the stronger his attack, the stronger the opponent's rebound. Reason told him that it was time to withdraw from the army, his logistics supply line was already full of holes, and it would be very good that fifty percent of the materials transported from the grassland could reach his own hands, and the three fortresses such as Dagang Town were not uprooted, which was equivalent to letting three knives stand behind him, and he could be stabbed at any time, and now he has begun to taste it.

Namo's heart was full of resentment, he knew that he wanted to return here again, I don't know when, Ye Qing and the blood eagle's battle had the upper hand, and the next thing was the blood eagle defense, and he was going to attack in a big way, which made Namo, who had always believed that he was the strongest, feel humiliated.

The red afterglow of the sun sprinkled the last rays from his back, shining on the big flag opposite, and the big flag waving in the wind was even more brilliant under the sun.

Behind him, the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and a familiar voice sounded: "Young master." ”

Namo didn't look back, but his voice was a little choked, "Yue Suo, you say, will we go back here again?"

Yue Suo's eyes were a little confused, and his heart was even more panicked, just like Namo, he was also very aware of the current form, the Blood Eagle Tribe had just arrived here, and it was facing such a difficult situation both internally and externally. One mishandling is the end of a catastrophe. But looking at Namo's somewhat depressed demeanor, he had to lift his spirits and said: "Young master, we will definitely come back, the best thing for the human race is internal fighting, Xuanguo is about to have civil strife, Ye Qing will inevitably be involved in Xuanguo's civil strife, this will give us time to breathe, and when we recover, it will be the beginning of their demise." ”

Namo made Yue Suo's words refreshed, shook his horse's head, and said loudly: "You're right, Yue Suo, let's go, we are ready to retreat, and when we return here again, I will definitely stand on the tower of Qingyun City." ”

Following Namo, Yue turned the horse's head in a circle, and on the horse, he looked back at the Li character flag, but his face was extremely confused, "We, will we come back?"

In Shahe Town, Wu Yang rushed into Ye Qing's command post excitedly, waved his arms, and said loudly: "Hou Ye, Hou Ye, Namo has retreated, he has retreated." ”
