The chain reaction of the defeat of the Yu army was the surrender of Qinghe County Shouju City, and he couldn't do it if he didn't want to. The entire Qinghe County was almost undefended, and the county soldiers and young men were all recruited, either to fight the Japanese army or to defend Anping County. The troops in the hands of the Qinghe County guards are only thousands of old and weak soldiers, pointing at them to defend the city? Don't be funny.

Wang Rong didn't have time to deal with Qinghe County at all, and the county guard Cui Luo looked at the Tang cavalry heading north with a blank face, feeling that he was just a dream. However, Cui Luo still obeyed Wang Rong's order, and he quickly organized personnel to clean up the messy Yu army camp outside the city, and put away the things collected from the sweeping battlefield in different categories.

Cui Luo looked at the mountain of supplies, and he ordered his subordinates, "Distribute the robes, silk cloth, and grain to the people of the city. Armor and weapons must be stored in safe places, and they must be kept on guard day and night, and they must not be slackened."

"Whoa!"

Wang Rong couldn't care about Qinghe County at this time, and at this time he was eager to return to Xindu with the Tang cavalry. He was really afraid that in his absence, what would happen to the Tang army surrounding Xindu.

However, when Wang Rong returned to the Tang army camp outside Xindu, there was an earth-shattering shout in the Tang army camp, and a large number of Tang soldiers were training in the large open space in the barracks.

The tragic siege battle in Wang Rong's imagination did not happen, he walked quickly into the big tent of the Chinese army, and saw Li Sujie and Zhang Yunshu with more than a dozen soldiers studying something on the sand table.

When they saw Wang Rong enter the big tent, they straightened up one after another, bowed and said, "I've seen my grandfather."

Li Sujie asked with a look of surprise, "Why did you come back so soon?" The Yu army doesn't seem to be very easy to fight, 100,000 troops."

Wang Rong pressed the handle of the saber on his waist, looked at everyone and said, "Before talking about the Yu army, I will first report a new situation, the old wolf has news that after such a long siege, the city has fallen, and His Royal Highness the Second Prince has set fire to it."

Zhang Yunshu looked excited and said, "With the fall of Yucheng City, we can block Liangzhou with all our might, and at the same time divide more troops to go south to Hanzhong County?"

Wang Rong nodded, and then said, "We won't be able to hide the news of the fall of the city for long, and the king who has a little insight will find that we are the weakest at this time. The armies were in Jizhou and Yongzhou, and the defense of the prefecture was in vain. Therefore, the top priority is to take Xindu as soon as possible, destroy the Ji State, and then go north, south, and east respectively, and take Jizhou into our hands."

Li Sujie nodded and said, "That's exactly how it should be, but our army is large enough now, but the strength is insufficient, if we fight hard, I'm worried that we will lose a lot of soldiers and collapse morale."

Wang Rong thought for a moment and said, "Then let's retreat."

Everyone in the tent looked at each other, and Li Sujie asked uncertainly, "Zhong Ming, you mean retreat?"

Wang Rong nodded and said, "I believe that there must be spies from the Ji Kingdom in our camp, and they must be keeping an eye on our movements at all times. Then we will spread the news of the lack of food in the army."

Li Sujie said worriedly, "Zhong Ming, the current Tang Army is not as good as before, there were fewer of us before, and it was easy to break up and get together again. Now it's an army of more than 200,000 or almost 300,000, and once it is dispersed, it will be too difficult to gather it."

Wang Rong, who surrounded Xindu, was not idle, and he ordered Huang Fujian to mobilize more young men to replenish his troops. As a result, the number of Tang troops increased to a staggering 300,000.

Wang Rong listened to Li Sujie's words, thought for a while, and asked, "What level have the veterans in the army been promoted to now?"

A soldier behind Zhang Yunshu stepped forward and said, "Grandpa Qi, most of the elite veterans in the army are already at the level of a hundred generals, and the last time is Yu Hou."

Wang Rong then said to Li Sujie and Zhang Yunshu, "We will give orders directly to the hundred generals and the Marquis of Duyu, let them manage their own troops, and disperse and retreat to Fucheng County. On the way to retreat, don't care about the formation you are in, the hundred generals meet the battalion generals, and listen to the battalion generals; The battalion will meet the regimental general, listen to the regimental general, and so on.

When the 100 generals of the 9th Division meet the 100 generals of the 7th Division, they will listen to the 100 generals of the 7th Division, and the 100 generals of the 7th Division will listen to the 100 generals of the 2nd Division

Generals, the 100 generals of the 2nd Division meet the 100 generals of the Wuwei Army, and they listen to the 100 generals of the Wuwei Army. When I arrived in Fucheng County, I found my superior's report, and if my superior was not there, I found my superior's report."

Wang Rong was helpless in this arrangement, and it was impossible for him to distribute an electronic watch, an iPad, or a microcomputer to each soldier. can only use this way to ensure that when his army withdraws to Fucheng County, two-thirds of them are gathered, even if his withdrawal is successful.

Li Sujie had reservations about Wang Rong's idea, and he then asked, "Zhong Ming, assuming that your retreat is successful, then what happens next?" What are we going to do? Didn't write the letter? Is the kingdom of Ji immortal?"

Wang Rong shook his head and said, "The letter must be defeated, and the Ji Kingdom must also be destroyed. It's just that we continue to besiege the city, and the effect is very poor, we must lure out the defenders of the city and break them.

We need to correct our own purpose in fighting wars, and we should focus not on the gains and losses of one city and one pool, but on the purpose of destroying the enemy's living forces. If people lose land, people and land will survive; If the land is lost, the people and the land are lost.

As long as we lure out the defenders of Sinto Castle and annihilate them, what will Shin Capital Castle use to defend it? Isn't the city of Shinto, which is not defended by a single soldier, in our pocket?"

Wang Rong's thoughts stunned Li Sujie and Zhang Yunshu, especially "If people lose land, people and land will survive; If you lose your land, you will lose your land." This sentence is simply a famous saying in the art of war. qs

Looking at the admiring eyes of everyone in the tent, Wang Rong was a little embarrassed, the military thinking of the great man was not blown out, but the essence of the real war summed up.

Zhang Yunshu and the Military Division quickly worked overtime to draw up a set of action plans, especially the retreat plan, which was written in great detail. After carefully reading and studying, Wang Rong made some small comments, and the revised plan was adopted.

Soon, news spread in the army that the battalions were suffering from a serious shortage of food, and the daily meals were getting worse and worse. The rice in the gruel became less and less, and in the end, the figure could be seen.

A few days later, worse news was reported to the Chinese army, Pang Jun in the Xindu City led the last elite cavalry of the Ji State to rush out of the gate and attack the Ninth Division of Song Mingbu who had just changed the defense, and the seven Tang *** battalions were all broken, and the Ninth Division under Song Mingbu was being routed to the north!

If it weren't for Meng Song and Teng Xiang and Wu Xiang to respond, Song Mingbu's Ninth Division would have been able to escape back to Gatao City.

After Teng Xiang and Wu Xiang volunteered to come up, they directly let Pang Jun see what the real elite is. A neat military formation, a steady pace, a sharp spear, a ring-headed sword, and a hard shield. Pang Jun took the last elite cavalry of the Ji State to rush the Tengxiang army formation four times, but the result was a big defeat and returned, and the troops were defeated.
