Chapter 164 Wait a minute

It's just that many times the human will cannot overcome one's own flesh.

Geng Bingwen's efforts only made the people next to him realize that they had come to their senses, and it was impossible to go out to inspect.

Geng Bingwen could only brace himself and summon all the senior generals to his side.

Geng Bingwen asked about the time and place, smiled bitterly, and said, "Everyone give up their baggage, only bring three days' food and weapons, and immediately go south and gather in Lantian Field."

Geng Bingwen is very aware of the consequences of his doing so, which is simply to disperse the army.

In such a heavy rain, with such an order, too many people will be left behind. Many people even deliberately become deserters.

But Geng Bingwen knew one thing very well, if he was not mistaken, Qu Neng was on his way at the moment, although the heavy rain would slow down the speed of Qu Neng's chase. But the problem is that the army is a little better in the heavy rain than not moving at all, and on the map, it is probably moving two or three threads.

It's too slow compared to Qu Neng's pursuers.

So there must be a war between the two sides.

But that's not a reason for Geng Bingwen to give up.

The real reason for his renunciation was the wavering heart in the eyes of the generals in the army.

In fact, if you have faith, camp where you are. It is not impossible to wait for the enemy army behind to chase after them and fight them. 、

Although Geng Bingwen vomited blood and fell into a coma at that time, but the basic camping and arranging the defense system, these things, as Geng Bingwen's subordinates, don't you know what to do?

They decided to brave the rain and hurry, just not daring to engage the enemy forces in the rear.

But now the situation is even worse.

A soldier is a general's courage, and a soldier is a soldier's bones.

Geng Bingwen didn't need to ask the people below, just by looking at the faces of these senior generals, he knew what the morale below was like.

Man is not steel after all.

Morale is also always changing.

These armies followed Geng Bingwen, defeating one, losing two, defeating three, retreating two and retreating, and heard so much bad news. The morale of the military has fallen to the bottom. In addition, now that a heavy rain is falling, the soldiers have no will to fight, and they will have no heart to fight.

Geng Bingwen knew that his health was not good, and he had to walk with the soldiers and share weal and sorrow with them, not that Geng Bingwen didn't know how to endure hardships, nor that Geng Bingwen didn't know how to take care of his body.

Instead, Geng Bingwen knew that the morale of the army was already unstable.

At this time, Geng Bingwen could only share weal and woe, lead by example, and maintain the morale of the army from collapsing.

Now he vomited blood and fell into a coma in full view of everyone.

The morale of the army below has collapsed.

When the people's hearts are scattered, it will be difficult to lead the army.

Geng Bingwen was still suffering from a high fever at the moment, and he couldn't even stand up to patrol the camp. What else can be done?

Geng Bingwen took most of these people with his old department, otherwise Geng Bingwen would not still be with these people now. Now that things are irreparable. Geng Bingwen is willing to give them a chance to choose freely.

Let them retreat lightly, in fact, they can not retreat and go to the Northern Army. Anyway, as soon as they disperse now, what it looks like depends on their own choices.

Geng Bingwen can't control it anymore.

"Master Hou, what are you going to do?" One of the generals asked in a whisper.

Geng Bingwen coughed twice, sweat on his forehead, and said with an abnormal flush in the sky: "I was entrusted by Your Majesty to serve as a general, but I didn't expect that in this situation, what else is there to say. When you are over 70 years old, the matter of life and death is also downplayed. This is where I am buried."

As soon as these words came out, some generals suddenly showed their faces.

People's feelings are mutual, Geng Bingwen looked for a way out for his subordinates before he was temporary, and many of these subordinates have been with Geng Bingwen for many years and also have feelings for Geng Bingwen.

A general came out of the column and said, "If Master Hou doesn't leave, I won't leave. My father and ancestors all followed Master Hou. If I give up on the Hou Ye and flee by myself, and go to the Nine Springs, there is no way to explain to the ancestors."

As soon as this remark came out, naturally several generals responded to it.

But the people who should be reconciled are very few. Most of the generals were silent.

And silence itself is a statement.

Seeing this, Geng Bingwen waved his hand and said, "Let's all go out, I'm tired."

He was really tired.

In the past half a year, Geng Bingwen has not slept a few times, and in addition, he is old, so he has slept very shallowly, and there are many things, so it is even more difficult to sleep. But now, I don't know why, I fell asleep soundly.

And at this time, the rain stopped.

But although the rain stopped, the clouds in the sky did not disperse.

As before, Geng Bingwen judged. This heavy rain is not isolated. It was the cry of summer, and he was followed by at least ten days of intermittent heavy rain.

Although the rain has stopped at the moment, it is not necessarily a good thing.

Because the mud on the ground will not disappear when the rain stops.

-------

Qu Neng led the cavalry and attacked in the rain. Day and night. Soon a large number of cavalry were left behind, and there were many problems in this, and ten cavalrymen had problems, and they were sick and feverish. Some of them have problems with their horses.

It's normal to run in the rain and fall.

And once a war horse falls on the horse's leg, there is almost no way to heal it.

There are other attritions.

But. In general, there are many injuries and illnesses, and there are few deaths. And this is Guanzhong, not Mobei. Once there is a situation where it is impossible to move forward, there will be generals who will immediately requisition the houses of the people nearby and leave people to take care of them.

Although, the military discipline of the Northern Army is good. But in the end, the ancient army could not be like the Yuejia army, freezing to death without demolishing the house, and it was impossible to be like *** and not enter the house. Most of them will force the people to squeeze and vacate a few houses for the sick and wounded. In the end, they will leave a note and let them go to the army to settle accounts.

Of course, if the people dare to go to the barracks, then their promises will definitely be honored.

But the problem is that most of the people don't have the courage to go to the barracks to cash in.

Many times, people think they are unlucky.

And no one in the military will go out of their way to liquidate these strips. Of course, most of the time, these soldiers also have a small amount of money on them, after all, they have a high salary, and there are trophies in the army, so naturally the belt is very rich. There are also those who pay for the people to contribute.

After all, the IOU or cash, which one is more popular, needless to say.

The people are not stupid, and many things don't work.

It can only be cash, and as long as there is cash, many things can be done for you. Money can make grinding ghosts.

Of course, such military discipline in the Northern Army is already the top in this era. At least the rangers were scattered, and there was no looting. You must know that many times, the people are most afraid of not the large army, but the rout.

Because the military generally does things for a reason and has a bottom line. But there was no rout.

In this way, when Qu Neng caught up with Geng Bingwen's convoy, there were at least more than 10,000 cavalry, scattered in this area. But Geng Bingwen has even fewer people in his hands.

When Qu could see Geng Bingwen's convoy, he didn't immediately think that this was Geng Bingwen's camp.

Without him, who is Geng Bingwen?

is a master of defensive warfare.

When Qu Neng chased after him, he was ready to fight a difficult battle, but the convoy was scattered on the mile-long official road, everywhere, and there was no defense at all. There are also many guerrillas who have lost their organization.

Does this seem like Geng Bingwen's method?

Not at all.

Fortunately, although Geng Bingwen doesn't care about anything. But Geng Bingwen still gathered a group of die-hard people around him, probably less than a thousand people. After they saw the Northern Army, they thought Geng Bingwen's carriage was the core and fought against the Northern Army.

Their resistance immediately alerted Qu Neng.

The big fish are here.

So, Qu Neng gave an order, and the army will be around Geng Bingwen's carriage, three inside and three outside

Heavily surrounded.

Qu Neng rode out, sent someone to ask from afar, and shouted left and right, "Where is the Marquis of Changxing?"

The voice of Changxing Hou He came into the carriage.

Geng Bingwen, who had fallen into a deep sleep, moved his eyelashes and slowly opened his eyes. He slept well this night, and even seemed to let go of his mind, and his illness was much better, and when he heard the shouts outside, he was not surprised in his heart, and secretly said, "The end of what should come will come." He struggled to his feet and said aloud, "Tell the people outside to wait."
