Chapter 472: Sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight
Seeing countless soldiers lying in a pool of blood, Zhao Xifeng's eyes were red, and he regretted it indescribably.
He glanced back in the direction of the city gates, which they were still trying to overcome, trying to open them.
And the enemy army is constantly pouring in from all directions.
"Hold on, buy time!"
The general defending the city snorted coldly: "I don't know what to do, bring the general's bow and arrows." ”
He pulled his bow and aimed it at Zhao Xifeng, and with a "boom", the arrow left the string and pierced Zhao Xifeng's right shoulder with lightning speed.
The soldier next to him took the opportunity to pat himself on the back: "The general is good at archery, and he has a hundred shots!" ”
At this moment, the gates were finally conquered and reopened.
"Quickly escort the general away, I'll cut it off!"
The deputy general beside him couldn't regret it, and at this time, he was protecting Zhao Xifeng and retreating.
The general defending the city said angrily: "Chase after it, don't let Zhao Xifeng run away." ”
The Great Chu army suffered so many losses that corpses were almost everywhere, and the smell of blood spread throughout the border city.
The general who defended the city personally led an army to chase it out.
"The prefabricated army will delay with me, and the rest will escort the general across the river."
"Once we cross the river, it will be our main camp, and they will not dare to attack rashly!"
In the distance, Zhao Xifeng and they ran for their lives, and finally got on the boat and successfully returned to their positions.
The people in the tent came out to greet him, and when they saw that he was seriously injured, they all panicked: "General, why are you injured!" ”
The military doctor treated him and rejoiced: "Fortunately, this arrow has no vital point from the superiors, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable." ”
"The general is a little more patient, and he needs to pull out the arrow."
Zhao Xifeng gritted his teeth, and there was a low roar like a beast from inside the tent.
After removing the arrow, after some bandaging, he did not dare to rest, and hurriedly sent someone in to ask:
"How much do we lose by quitting?"
That makes you depressed, and report truthfully: "This trip brought 50,000 troops to the courtiers, and the loss was nearly half." ”
That's not a small amount!
Zhao Xifeng felt like he had been fatally stabbed in the chest, coughing violently, and his expression was angry.
"I didn't expect them to be so insidious, to make an empty city plan, to lure me into being fooled!"
He couldn't help beating his chest again: "It's all because General Ben is eager for quick success and quick profit, and he fell for them on impulse." ”
"How can the general be blamed for this? Obviously, the pressure from the imperial court is too heavy, and everyone is counting on taking that city quickly! ”
The more anxious you are, the more it backfires.
He hurriedly said: "Thanks to the foresight of the general, he noticed the abnormality, so he specially left a backup team on standby. ”
"Although the loss this time is not small, at least we still have room to recuperate."
Zhao Xifeng sighed lightly, his eyes were dim, "The enemy was ambushed in this operation, because of a small loss, don't act rashly in the past two days." ”
"Pass the order, let the wine go down and encourage the three armies, don't let them lose their morale because of this."
Zhao Xifeng was silent for a long time, and couldn't help but think of Xiao Chen.
He was able to take Dongying with only 100,000 troops, although it was a small country, but the other party was good at water warfare, and it was not easy to take it.
He has been fighting for many years, but he is not as resourceful as Xiao Chen, and he has suffered the enemy's losses today.
The military advisor next to him couldn't stand it, and said comfortingly: "General, even if you fail this time, you have benefited a lot, and you can recognize the enemy's methods, and you can also act cautiously in the future." ”
Zhao Xifeng was disdainful: "To be fooled is to be fooled, why do you need to find these self-deceptive words of comfort?" ”
"I asked the court for help before, but now there is news?"
The military advisor shook his head: "Not yet, the situation in the imperial court is turbulent now, and many things will have to be properly handled in the future, so I'm afraid our request for help will also be delayed......"
Zhao Xifeng smashed his fist on the leg: "It's really a disaster!" ”
"Now that the war is lost and the court is in turmoil, it seems that God is not biased against us."
"Can you get through such a crisis?"
Chu Yanwu didn't know that the enemy's ambush loss in Zhao Xifeng was not small, but this news was learned by Xiao Chen as soon as possible.
Jin Chengzhong held a secret report in his hand: "Da Chu and Da Qi have been fighting each other on the border, and the enemy has used the empty city strategy to counter the first army and turn the tide of the war. ”
"General Zhao suffered a loss at the hands of the enemy generals, which is really unexpected."
Jin Chengzhong has been lurking in the Great Chu Palace for many years, so he has naturally heard of Zhao Xifeng's name and is known as a victorious general.
The battlefield is equivalent to his home field, which can make him suffer in his own field, and it can be regarded as the opponent's ability.
Xiao Chen just glanced at it, and his face instantly became gloomy.
"Da Chu is a strong country with literature, and most of them are resourceful and strategic. And Daqi is a strong country with force, and military generals emerge in endlessly. ”
"Both have their own advantages, and they are equally divided."
"This empty city plan is very clever, do you think that with the reckless men of Daqi, they can really come up with such a delicate method?"
Xiao Chen's fingers tapped on the tabletop, and his tone was dark: "I'm afraid that this empty city plan is from the hands of that Great Chu traitor." ”
"Zhou Tianfu has never been a fuel-efficient lamp!"
"In order to save his life, he did not hesitate to sell his homeland and become a traitor, which is really disgusting."
Jin Chengzhong was more and more surprised: "Zhou Tianfu does have some strategies, he is in charge of Daqi, but he makes up for the shortcomings of the opponent's generals, and it will be very harmful to us in the future." ”
He said in a low voice: "Why don't you take advantage of this opportunity to unite with Da Chu to eradicate Zhou Tianfu first, and then break it down one by one?" ”
Xiao Chen weighed this sentence, and finally shook his head: "It's not time yet." ”
"No matter how powerful it is, it will be my subordinate's defeat after all, so it's not surprising for the time being."
He hooked his lips slightly and sneered: "After all, so many days have passed, and our Great Chu Heavenly Son will refuse to give in to General Ben, and will not give in to his troops and wealth." ”
"Since he is so stubborn, why don't you borrow Zhou Tianfu's hand and put a little more pressure on him?"
Shen Lingyue pinched his shoulders for him and said tentatively: "Your Highness, but you want to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight?" ”
"It's still my family's Shen Junshi who is smart!"
Xiao Chen scratched the bridge of her nose, and she could always inadvertently fight the girl's family red-faced.
He laughed, "Then it's up to you to guess, how did I plan?" ”
Shen Lingyue pondered for a moment, pinched from her hands to her legs, and analyzed carefully: "The court is turbulent, the battlefield is lost, for a country, this is a violent double blow. ”
"If the situation of the imperial court is disseminated, Daqi will definitely not sit idly by."
"Taking advantage of this loophole, they will definitely try their best to make trouble for Da Chu, and when the time comes, Chu Yanwu will have a splitting headache, and there will be no available people in the court. No matter how jealous I am of you, I have to give in! ”
Xiao Chen couldn't help laughing: "Hahaha, the female military division is really delicate, it just coincides with me!" ”
He glanced at Jin Chengzhong: "I heard it, just do it!" ”
