Chapter 604: One is more tired than the other
But instead of getting angry, he shouted out the door.
"Come in."
"Who?" Li Xiaogong was stunned.
Immediately, they found that the eight lieutenants under their command were all waiting outside the tent at some point. At this moment, with Hou Junji's order, all of them rushed in.
"What do you want to do?" Li Xiaogong suddenly realized that something was wrong, and his face changed drastically.
"General Li, it's not that we don't want to obey your orders, but that my brothers are really not far away from sacrificing in vain." An adjutant general said loudly: "General Hou is right, we have reached the time when we have to withdraw our troops, and I hope that the general will stop being stubborn, bow his head a little, and adopt our suggestions." ”
"Presumptuous, the general is unwilling to withdraw the army, is it possible that you still want to force the general to withdraw the army?" Until this time, Li Xiaogong was still reluctant to retreat, but thought that Hou Junji and others wanted to rebel before the battle.
He walked up to his sword, and with a "swish", pulled it out.
Seeing this, Hou Junji and the lieutenant generals immediately knelt on the ground and said loudly: "General, we are not trying to rebel, but to ask you to listen to the opinions of the soldiers." ”
"Everyone's opinion? I don't know when these lieutenants began to collude with you, but just a few of you, what qualifications do you have to represent the soldiers? Li Xiaogong's eyes flashed with fierce light.
"Of course, a few of us don't have this qualification, so please go out with us to have a look." Hou Junji is neither humble nor arrogant.
"Huh?"
Li Xiaogong looked suspicious, could it be that when the lieutenants came in, what else did they do?
With this in mind, he walked briskly out of the tent.
It's just that when it came out, Li Xiaogong's eyes couldn't help but stare at it.
In the line of sight, the grass in front of him was full of kneeling soldiers, roughly counting, there were hundreds of thousands.
"What do you mean?" Li Xiaogong was shocked and asked in a lost voice.
"General Li, we are no longer willing to fight with the Sui army, and we beg the general to withdraw our troops!"
Countless people opened their mouths at the same time.
The sound was like a thunderbolt, and suddenly it sounded on the field.
Li Xiaogong took three steps back, his face full of disbelief. Because, he has been in the army for decades, and it is the first time he has encountered this situation, and he didn't know what to say for a while, and as for the anger in his heart, it disappeared at this moment. If only a few soldiers asked him to withdraw his troops, he would not only not agree, but would not hesitate to put him to death.
But when all the soldiers under his command wanted to withdraw their troops, even with Li Xiaogong's strength, he didn't dare to hold on any longer.
He knew that if he continued to advocate fighting with the Sui army, the soldiers would no longer obey his arrangement, and he, the commander, would become a dispensable existence.
In addition, even if they end up on the battlefield, if everyone has no intention of fighting, the ending may not be much better.
"General Li, can you listen to the advice of the soldiers and withdraw the troops?"
Hou Junji saw that Li Xiaogong finally hesitated, and knew that the time was almost ripe, so he immediately whispered in the latter's ear: "Besides, the withdrawal of troops is the initiative of the soldiers, and it has nothing to do with the general. ”
"Hou Junji, after returning to Chang'an, I will tell Your Majesty exactly what you have done." Li Xiaogong snorted coldly, brushed his sleeves away, and re-entered the tent.
Hou Junji smiled slightly, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
What Li Xiaogong just said is obviously something in his words, which means that he has decided to withdraw his troops.
Thinking of this, Hou Junji slowly turned to the crowd, faced them, and said loudly: "Pass the order to go down and withdraw the troops!" ”
"Yes!"
When the soldiers heard this, they naturally cheered, and many even cried with joy.
Since they met the Sui army on the battlefield, they have become more and more aggrieved day by day, and have watched their companions die at the hands of the Sui army countless times, however, when they want to fight back, the Sui army slipped faster than rabbits.
In the long run, this battle will be nothing short of torture for them.
It's like hell!
Now, they can finally go back to Chang'an, how can they not be excited?
Let's talk about the Sui army's side.
After a small-scale attack and some results, Sima Dejiao and Lai Hu'er were undoubtedly extremely satisfied.
And at this moment, they are sitting together, drinking wine and eating meat in a big bowl, so happy.
"Generalissimo, General, do it!"
Su Dingfang drank all the wine in the cup quite arrogantly, and said with a smile that couldn't be concealed: "Although I didn't have a chance to contact Li Xiaogong, I guess this military god must be half angry with us now, how can he be like us, drinking and eating meat?" ”
"Li Xiaogong has always been above the top, when we were still in the Tang Dynasty, he never put me and General Su in his eyes, he would definitely not have thought that one day, he would be helpless against us." Li Jing also said with a satisfied face.
Sima Dejiao smiled dumbly: "God of War? In the whole world, the only person who is qualified to be called the god of war is General Laihu'er, unless he can defeat General Laihu'er head-on, otherwise, he can't be a god of war! ”
"You don't need to raise the general too high, in this battle with the Tang Army, the reason why we can take advantage everywhere is actually relying on the strategies and tactics taught by His Majesty."
"Without Your Majesty's words, even if we can defeat Li Xiaogong, we will never be as calm as we are now."
Laihu'er looks quite low-key.
As for Sima Dejiao and the others, seeing that Lai Hu'er had moved Yang Guang out, he didn't say anything more, Li Jing raised his head and poured a bowl of wine, then restrained his smile, and said: "But to be honest, Tang Jun is indeed tough enough." ”
"We have been entangled with them here for almost two months, but the Tang army still has no intention of withdrawing troops, on the contrary, they also sent Li Xiaogong and Hou Junji over."
"I'm worried that Li Shimin will send more generals over after seeing that the two of them can't attack for a long time."
Everyone listened to Li Jing's words and fell into thought one after another.
Then, the first to speak was Su Dingfang.
He said with a look of disdain: "Even after Li Xiaogong came, he was overwhelmed by us, and it was difficult to make a difference." Not to mention other generals, if Li Shimin wants to send them over, the end will only be worse! ”
"You can't say that."
Li Jing said solemnly: "The Tang Dynasty soldiers are strong and strong, and some time is consumed with us." But we are different, in the past two months, although the losses are not large, I checked the situation of each military camp yesterday and found that they are more tired than the other......"
