Chapter XVII
Hearing this, Liu Xiong pondered solemnly, "The old man has indeed made a mistake in this matter, and he has ordered to go down and create time for the Death Word Battalion, not to let these Qi soldiers return to the camp, and order Song Yulin to withdraw from the battle circle, block their retreat in a roundabout way, and delay time as much as possible." ”
After more than three hours of fighting in the middle of the night, the snow has already been dyed red, and the Qi soldiers have received the news of retreating back to the camp many times, but the updated northern Xinjiang can easily let go of the Qi soldiers and intercept them several times.
At this time, the mountains and forests of Dongshan also set off a fight, and as soon as the dead word battalion that crossed the mountain entered Dongshan, it collided with Zhao Haoyi's 20,000 soldiers.
According to what Ye Yan said, they didn't entangle with each other too much, and they were reduced to zero, but the gap in numbers and age was only Zhang Jiu and more than 100 people who fought out.
According to Zhao Haoyi's order, although this group of soldiers fought an encounter with Zhang Jiu and them, they did not chase deeply, and the ancient military orders were like the orders of the mountain master and general were always above everything.
More than 800 young corpses are here forever, and when they die, they are still looking forward to the scene of drinking with the strategists after returning to the camp, but these will never be realized, they have already expected this day to come, and the teenagers do not regret it, but regret that they have not yet taken a sip of wine, and regret that they have not yet become the "man" in the mouth of the veterans. ”
In the middle of the night, the soldiers did not go to collect the bodies of these children, but only hastily buried the bones of their own people and returned to the camp not far away.
The children lay quietly like this, slowly melting into the snow, and perhaps the wild beasts of the mountains will eat up the corpses when the spring flowers bloom.
Zhang Jiu, who escaped from the encirclement, came to the place set before departure, and looked at the team of only 160 people standing in front and looking at the rear for a long time without coming back to his senses.
He was waiting, he was waiting for the children to come, and a long sigh rang out, and he knew that no one was coming again.
"Ten miles down the mountain is where the Qi barracks are located, while the soldiers of the Qi State are still fighting with our troops, they will fight quickly, and after killing Situ Kong, they will break through directly from the front and join the brothers, and set off."
Situ Kong was pacing back and forth in the camp tent at this time, and after Li Endian was wounded, he felt that something was wrong, and gave several orders to withdraw the troops one after another, but now it was late at night when the army had not returned to the camp, and the remaining 10,000 foot soldiers in the army were also sent out by him, and now he faintly felt that something was wrong.
The lack of sword armor in the northern frontier has always only fought to defend the city, and has never been outside the city for so long.
There was only one thing he could think of, there were a few in Yuzhou, and they wanted to fight to the death.
At the same time, Ye Yan also asked a similar question at the head of the city of Yuzhou.
"Old general, we can obviously pretend that we are not low, retreat to the city to lure the enemy army to attack the city, and buy time for the Death Word Battalion, so that the casualties are smaller."
The old man looked down at the occasional firelight, and a trace of exhaustion flashed across his face.
"I can't wait, there is not much grain and grass left in the army, now that the snow is closing the city, the brothers who transport the grain will definitely not be able to arrive on time, and it may drag on for four or five days, there is no food in such a cold weather, not to mention four or five days, it is impossible to carry it for a day or two, and there is no need for troops to attack the city at that time, and we ourselves will starve to death in the city."
Ye Yan was puzzled: "But even if all the Qi soldiers are wiped out in this way, we will have no food and grass?"
Liu Xiong smiled: "The kid still needs to be tempered, and if he annihilates this group of soldiers, isn't the other party's grain and grass ours?" Even if they have little grain and grass left, we can send troops into the mountains to hunt, and if there is no war, our scope of activities will naturally become larger.
Ye Yan thought for a moment after hearing this: "So, Zhao Haoyi is a flaw that you deliberately gave?"
The old man smiled mysteriously, "Tell me?"
"You obviously know that the sword and armor given by the other party will do tricks, but you still have to do this, it is nothing more than to give the other party a flaw in the transaction, and want the other party to take the opportunity to attack the city, but the other party does not attack Yuzhou for some reason.
Instead, you waited for most of the sword armor to enter the city before acting, you should have thought of buying time for the Death Word Battalion, and letting the soldiers of the Qi Kingdom enter the city was your original plan, but you didn't know what happened in it that made you change your strategy. ”
Liu Xiong smiled with satisfaction: "That's right, it's no worse than Ye Yi, the original plan was as you said, but then Qi Bing actually sent us 50,000 brand-new swords and armor, maybe according to the original plan, let the other party into the city, of course, we will destroy them, but ours will also suffer heavy casualties, and Yuzhou will also become a ruined city."
With these 50,000 swords and armor, it is different, fighting in the wilderness, opening and closing, we have the same number and equipment, and there is no difference between the northern frontiers. What's more, we still have 20,000 more troops than the other side, as long as we wait for the Death Word Battalion to kill the opponent's commander, and there is no one to give orders, it is only a matter of time before this group of people is completely annihilated. ”
Ye Yan nodded after hearing this, thinking of another thing in his heart, "Ye Yi? Doesn't this person have anything to do with him?"
During this time, he could feel that he might have something to do with this person named Ye Yi, otherwise it would be impossible for the generals in the army to care so much about and trust him.
Thinking about it, Ye Yan decided to wait for Zhang Jiu to come back and ask the other party, after all, it was Zhang Jiu who was the most familiar to him.
Thinking of Zhang Jiu, I can't help but think of those children again, and I don't know how many people can survive.
Qi camp, Zhao Haoyi woke up and found himself lying in the camp tent, looked around carefully, and found that this was the military camp of Qi State, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and then struggled to get up.
But then he thought that his limbs had been broken, so he stopped struggling, and instead shouted out, "I want to see General Situ." ”
At the same time, Li Endian, who was escorted back to the capital of Qi State, sat in the carriage and looked at the snow outside the car, not knowing what he was thinking.
After a long time, he came back to his senses, lowered the curtain and retracted his thoughts.
Old General Liu, Li Liu did his best, and the rest will be handed over to your old man.
After Li Endian returned to the camp, he was reprimanded by Situ Kong, and then sent back to the capital of Qi to recuperate from his injuries, and asked the monarch for help by the way.
Zhang Jiu led more than 100 teenagers to lie in the snow less than 500 meters away from the enemy camp, waiting for the opportunity.
"Captain, when are we going to do it?"
Ge Dongtian, who was lying beside him, asked in a low voice. The dirty face was murderous.
"Wait, wait for Leng Xiao to find out the location of the other party's main general and rush in, now there are more than a thousand guards in the Qi camp, we can't make a mistake."
Ge Dongtian nodded, stared at the brightly lit tent not far away, and touched the firewood knife in his hand with a murderous face.
At this time, Leng Xiao wore the armor of Qi soldiers and blended into the camp.
This adult armor was a bit nondescript to wear on his petite figure of only one meter six, but fortunately, it covered his immature face well in the night, and the Qi soldiers around him felt that he was wearing it unfittingly, and he didn't think much about it.
