Chapter 591 abandons the army in order to protect the main force
What is possible?
What else could be possible?
In addition to the fact that the South Korean army has defected en masse, where is there any possibility.
Xin Lingjun is naturally clear in his heart, and Xin Lingjun knows even more clearly what serious consequences it will bring to the coalition forces once the Korean army really defects.
Holding on to the last trace of luck, Xinlingjun immediately sent 5,000 elite soldiers to take over the camp of the Han army.
Regardless of whether the Han army has defected or not, there are at least 5,000 elite soldiers here, and they can still resist the Qin army, not to mention completely blocking the Qin army out of the camp, but at least buy themselves time to respond.
Soon, a team of 5,000 people slaughtered into the camp of the Korean army.
The movements of the Wei army were quickly perceived by the Han army, and the soldiers left behind in the Han army's camp did not want to resist the Wei army at all.
The 5,000 Wei troops then smoothly entered the Han army camp, but they were greeted only by the heralds who were tied in front of the tent and gagged in front of the building.
It's not bad, although the Han army has defected to Qin, it has not killed Xinlingjun's heralds.
took the cloth strip from the herald's mouth, and the herald immediately shouted to the Wei army in front of him: "Quickly inform the king, the Han army has fled, Nanzhai is empty, make a decision quickly."
The Wei army, who had already received the order, immediately untied the herald and said, "The general has sent someone to inform the king that we have come to fill the position."
It should be said that this Wei army is indeed worthy of the elite of the strong army trained by Xinlingjun, facing the dangerous scene of the Han army fleeing and the Nanzhai being empty, only 5,000 foot soldiers, but they did not panic, let alone flee.
Immediately, these 5,000 elites climbed the empty wall.
The good news is that in order to hide people's eyes, when the South Korean army withdrew, there was no demolition work on the wall, so the 5,000 elites still have a condescending geographical advantage;
The bad news is that by the time the Wei army ascended the wall, the main force of the Qin army had already arrived under the wall, and on that wall, the Han army did not reserve much equipment to defend the city.
In other words, although the Wei army successfully climbed the wall, in the face of the Qin army that was about to enter the city, the Wei army did not have weapons suitable for defense, let alone rolling wood and stones, gold juice and oil, and even Changge did not have much.
All the Wei army could rely on was the long knife in his hand and the small number of bows and arrows behind him. And what they wanted to destroy was the Qin army that had been preparing all night.
Even if it had a slight geographical advantage, it was reduced to nothing with the blessing of the Qin army's various siege equipment.
It's bound to be a bitter battle!
The lieutenant led by the 5,000 Wei army soon discovered this problem, and immediately called the herald to report the situation to Xinlingjun.
Regardless of Xinlingjun's choice, what the Wei army had to do now was to hold the wall as much as possible.
Immediately, the 5,000 Wei army was divided into two, one with 3,000 men to block the Qin army with the existing weapons, and the other with 2,000 men immediately returned to the camp to carry the materials to defend the city.
When the Wei army divided its troops to fight, the Qin army did not hesitate at all, even when it launched an attack.
The battle to the south began almost simultaneously with the other three flanks.
At the same time that the Qin army was about to attack, Xinlingjun received the news that the Korean army had withdrawn.
Everything was as Xin Lingjun had guessed, and after the last stone landed, resentment, unwillingness, and even grievances hit Xin Lingjun's heart together.
If the general of Han Zhiguo is still here, Xinlingjun hates to eat him alive.
It is obviously a good situation, why should you give up and throw yourself into the arms of the Qin army instead. Did the three Jin suffer less losses at the hands of the Qin State?!
He really couldn't figure it out, the three families divided the land of Zhou Wangji, not only had the income of the territory, but also could curb the development of the Qin State, wouldn't this be better than defecting to the Qin army?
It's a pity that Xin Lingjun knows in his heart that these emotions will not help at all, but will be delayed
Misjudging the situation.
Although he was very annoyed in his heart, Xin Lingjun quickly calmed down, seeing that the Qin army had begun to attack the city, Xin Lingjun knew that there was not much time left for him.
He must make a decision as soon as possible, and there are only two paths in front of him: either replenish the Han army with Wei forces and block the Qin army's attack, or decisively protect his army while the situation is not out of control......
It can be said that neither of these two options is a good choice.
The Wei army defended the village for the Han army, not to mention whether it could be defended or not, even if it was defended today, what should it be like tomorrow? You must know that with the departure of the Korean army, the strength of the coalition army is not as large as that of the Qin army, and in this case, it is difficult to hold on for two or three days even if it is held for one day.
What's more, now that Chu Jun and Zhao Jun don't know the news of Han Jun's defection, what choice will they make once they learn about it? Do you continue to fight side by side with yourself, or do you not say goodbye and let your Wei army be a stepping stone?
And if you choose the latter, it is undoubtedly a betrayal morally, which is also difficult for Xinlingjun to accept.
Just when Xinlingjun was a little entangled, the herald arrived with Pegasus and briefly reported the news of the lack of soldiers and weapons in the southern walled city to Xinlingjun.
When Xinling Jun heard this, he had already made a decision in his heart.
At this point, there was no possibility of victory, and even if he replaced the Han army with the Wei army at all costs, the southern wall might not be able to hold it for long.
Since defeat is already a certainty, then reducing losses is considered a victory.
Xin Lingjun knew that what he had to do was to find a way to make himself and the Wei army exit with dignity and preserve the combat strength of the Wei army as much as possible.
With this decision, Xinlingjun's brain also ran rapidly.
His gaze quickly swept towards the battlefield to the north: tens of thousands of Zhao troops were still facing the cavalry of the Qin army, and the Chu army, as usual, suppressed the attack of the Qin army according to the geographical advantage.
Turning his head and looking at the battlefield to the south, sure enough, the Wei army, which had no defensive equipment, was still in danger even if it had a geographical advantage.
Xinlingjun knew that he had to act.
Whether or not they can bring as much of the army under their command back to Wei as possible depends on the time when the Zhao army and the Chu army have not yet reacted.
"Command the Captain of the South." Xin Lingjun resolutely gave an order: "Be sure to hold the wall for two quarters of an hour."
"Yes." A herald on the side immediately agreed.
"Order all the soldiers and horses of the Chinese army to prepare for battle immediately, and within a quarter of an hour, pack up the horses, ordnance, and three days' rations, and wait for orders." Xin Lingjun then continued to order.
"Yes." The other herald immediately clenched his fists and commanded.
Soon, under the order of Xinling Jun, all the 90,000 troops of the Wei army were mobilized, and the troops that should have been resting in rotation were also awakened, and the war horses were pulled out of the stables, and bundles of grain and grass were carried into the carriage.
It's just that Xinlingjun stood at the head of the west walled wall as if he was nothing, quietly watching the Qin army rushing up the city wall and being smashed down by the Wei army.
It's not that Xinlingjun's heart is not in a hurry, it's just that Xinlingjun has to stand there!
Only when he is there can he settle everyone's hearts. This includes not only the Chu army and the Zhao army in the north, but also its own troops.
Although Xinlingjun had already ordered ***, with the transfer of more than 5,000 elites, the news of the defection of the Korean army was inevitably spread.
Only when Xinlingjun stands at the head of the city can he suppress the crumbling military spirit.
After all, if Xinlingjun is still here, everyone will think, what if Han Jun was sent on a more secretive mission? It's like the food burning operation a few days ago.
Of course, it is okay to hide the soldiers at the bottom in this way, but it is impossible to hide it from the generals at the middle and high levels.
However, if he can be promoted to general, he naturally understands that at this time, he can only hold Xin Lingjun's thigh tightly, and maybe there is a glimmer of life, once he comes out alone, facing the wolf-like Qin army, it is a dead end.
That's it
Although full of worries, the Wei army did not delay the execution of Xinlingjun's orders.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the Wei army had been fully prepared.
Xin Lingjun, who got the news, was obviously a little relaxed, and then glanced at the position in the south again, but it was becoming more and more dangerous! Many of the city walls have already appeared on the figure of the Qin army.
Without further hesitation, Xinlingjun quickly disappeared above the city.
Immediately, in the blink of an eye, the gate of the rear camp (east) was quickly opened, and groups of Wei troops immediately swarmed out.
Yes, for the sake of the safety of the main force, Shinling-kun decisively abandoned the troops on the western and southern walls, which were still fighting bloodily. Nearly 20,000 horses were thrown into the camp by Xinlingjun in this way, and they didn't even tell a word.
Obviously, Xinlingjun wanted the 20,000 defenders to shed their last drop of blood to buy him and the remaining 70,000 main army time to evacuate.
It should be said that in today's situation, Xinlingjun's approach is indeed the most correct.
Only by abandoning the 20,000 troops can it be possible to keep the remaining 70,000 troops.
The reason why the defenders were not informed was also very simple, once informed, under the people's desire to survive, knowing that it was death, it would be difficult for the defenders to hold on.
The biggest possibility is that at the moment of notification, the 20,000 army immediately dispersed.
The east gate was wide open, and when he saw the west and north where he was still fighting, even if Zhao Chu had any doubts, he would send someone to inquire first, and this time of inquiry was enough for the Wei army to leave far, far away.
But once the Wei armies in the west and south were scattered, the Zhao and Chu armies in the north would immediately notice and flee immediately, and a race for their lives would inevitably unfold between the three kingdoms.
But once the three kingdoms flee together, the state of Chu will be forgotten, the state of Zhao has many war horses, and the speed is naturally much higher than itself, and if the Qin army can't catch up, I am afraid that it is very likely to target themselves.
This is obviously not what Xinlingjun wants to see.
20,000 Wei troops, buried with Zhao Jun and Chu Jun, can be regarded as worthy of these two allies!
Finally, he glanced at the camp that was still in full swing, and Xinlingjun also let out a long sigh......
"Quick! The army marched all the way east, towards Gongcheng." Shinling-kun, who had already escaped from the camp, immediately gave an order.
It's just that what Xin Lingjun didn't know was that on the way back to China, an elite Qin army of 10,000 people had already blocked his way.
And Zhao Jun, who he wanted to sacrifice, had already seen everything......
