Chapter 079: Losing Soldiers and Pretending to Retreat
But the matter has come to this point, and it can't stop there, so I have to temporarily retreat to the base camp first, but I found that the other two were already waiting here.
The three of them counted the soldiers and horses, and found that in just half a day, they had lost more than 2,000 people, which was already a quarter of the entire army! At this rate, in less than three or four days, the entire army may be wiped out!
As a result, Sun Xian, Zheng Wenli, Hu Lie and others no longer dared to despise the Montenegrin Society, let alone rashly march, so they had to sit on the ground and wait for a favorable opportunity. At the moment, the number of sentinels around him was tripled, and the rest of the men rested on the spot, waiting for the order to march. The three of them entered the military tent and tried hard to find countermeasures.
When the Montenegrin army saw that the three crow soldiers had retreated down the mountain, and knew that the first battle had been won, they blew the horn and told the news to all the brothers who were guarding their respective combat posts. The brothers were thrilled when they heard the melodious sound of the bull's horn. And because the Black Armor Army is really vulnerable, some brothers have already won without even seeing the face of the Black Armor Army, and they feel very regretful.
Those who were captured had no concept of loyalty to the imperial court, and their short-term military training was only able to distinguish some basic military orders, so after being captured by the Montenegrin army, they did not need any mobilization education at all, they had already let down their guard, honestly obeyed the arrangements of the Montenegrin brothers, stacked their armor, weapons, etc., and lined up to receive dry food. What's more, he has already begun to build up with the brothers of the Montenegrin Association and talk about the situation in his hometown.
When Wu Zongduo personally came to visit the prisoner camp, he made a serious speech to these prisoners:
"Ladies and gentlemen! I, Wu Dongyuan, know that you are also poor croppers, the same as our brothers! If it weren't for the fact that the world was difficult, desperate, and couldn't survive, who would want to be a soldier and eat food? Since everyone is here today, it can be regarded as fate, so don't sell your life to the Holy Dynasty, come to our Montenegro, let's poor brothers together, overthrow the imperial court, and establish a heavenly empire that belongs to our poor people! ”
"Mr. Wu is right! We shouldn't have gone up to the mountain to beat you, we're willing to follow you! Do what you say let's do! The captives ate and drank while echoing Wu Dongyuan.
At this time, the Black Armor Army, the remnants of the defeated army will be surrounded in one place, although there are still more than 7,000 people, but the army's morale has been weakened, and it can no longer carry out an effective attack, and the general, the second general and the general Hu Lie also know that if they march again, they will only lose their troops and lose their generals.
So the three of them spent a long time in the account, and they couldn't think of any way, and if they stopped, they felt very shameless. At the beginning, he swore an oath to the Emperor of the Holy Dynasty, but now he is going back in disgrace, and he Sun Xian is really unwilling in his heart; Besides, if this matter spreads, the prestige of the Holy Dynasty will be greatly reduced, and the rebel armies of all stripes will inevitably become even more rampant.
But if you don't retreat, you will spend it here, and it won't be long before the grain and grass will run out one day, and then it will be a dead end.
At this time, when he was at a loss, General Hu Lie suddenly had a plan, so he did this to the two generals. When the two generals heard this, they were overjoyed, right! Good strategy!
So, as soon as the three stinkers were combined, they immediately ordered all the soldiers to retreat, and when they retreated, they did not forget to throw their black dog flags, armor, weapons, food, pots and bowls and other utensils on the ground in a mess, leaving some empty tents.
At this time, the Black Mountain Army was still holding on to the same place, waiting for another charge that was about to come, but waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting until it was late, the birds returned to their nests, and when the new moon rose, the autumn insects chirped, and still did not wait for the slightest movement of the Black Armor Army's attack!
Could it be...... Can the Black Armor Army withdraw? It doesn't make sense! Although the Black Armor Army has suffered losses, but the main force still exists, according to the precedent of the Holy Army attacking the Black Mountain Army in the past, it is necessary to do its best, wave after wave, until it is beaten to no chance of victory, will withdraw the army, what is the matter today?
Chief Wu Dongyuan summoned the military representatives sent back from all walks of life to seriously analyze the countermeasures, and felt that there was something strange in them, but what the situation was, there was no bottom at all. What to do? I'm going to have to send someone down to spy on it!
So who to send? Among the two masters, Zhang Duozhu and Han Duozhu are reckless but brave, while Han Duozhu is cautious, but a little too timid, and the two must cooperate with each other in order to stand alone; Ding Kun, on the other hand, was in an important position to block the Holy Army head-on, and he must not be temporarily assigned to other tasks; Hu Laosan is too coarse-minded; Pai Ma Biao ...... If something goes wrong, there is a risk that an important planner of the route formulation will be lost, and it will not be easy to explain to the Eagle Claw Mountain...... Thinking about it, only Li Niu can be sent out to spy on it.
This product has always been able to turn danger into disaster, and it is clever, and it happens that there is no major task this time, not to mention that there is a rising star Jing Ming who can replace him...... Therefore, the chief helmsman of Wu Dongyuan finally decided: Jing Ming stayed behind and sent Li Niu and Li Helmsman to spy on it!
So as soon as Li Niu escaped from the tiger's mouth, he was sent to the front line again. After Jing Ming learned about it, he wanted to take the initiative to ask for it, but Li Niu said that no one should fight with him, because he wanted to catch that Zheng Wenli with his own hands, and then he wanted to return his green lotus! In such a situation, Jing Ming also had to compromise.
Li Niu was as indifferent as ever, with a collapsed nose and a few relatives. Originally, I wanted to bring a crooked mouth, but the crooked mouth has not been whereabouts yet! Collapsed Nose also misses his brother, hoping to spy on intelligence this time and find the crooked mouth. So they took their bows and arrows, broadswords, spears, etc., and set out in the night.
The moon is really good tonight, although it is not too bright, but it can completely reflect the figure of people, under the faint moonlight, more than a dozen people walked under the moon, quietly, only the reflection of the weapon occasionally brightened. If this trip wasn't for spying on intelligence, what a pleasant walk under the moon. Pity!
When approaching the camp of the Black Armor Army, Li Niu waved to the back and motioned for everyone to stop.
Li Niu listened carefully with his ears sideways, and found that there was no movement, so he was a little puzzled! Say to the people in the back, "There is no movement!" It can be seen that they are all asleep at this time, or they all participated in the sneak attack on us! Now I command! All hidden! Wait for my news! ”
There was a man in the back: "Master Li, it's too dangerous to go in, let me go!" ......" is the one who speaks with a collapsed nose.
