"Are you still fighting?"

So three words,

lingered in Li Jing's ears and lingered.

For the first time in his life, he was caught in such a choice, and he didn't know what to do.

If you don't fight, it's because Da Yan has terrifying economic strength and elite soldiers.

And fighting, it was the Datang that gathered all the attention in the country, and although this arrow was terrifying, who could know whether the whole army of Dayan was equipped with this kind of arrow, or just a little bit, to support the field and scare them.

If you think about it,

It seems that on my side, the intelligence is also extremely insufficient.

The first thing to fight in a war is intelligence.

And for this war.

He had the impression that Da Yan knew everything about his army, and they didn't know anything about Da Yan.

I don't know that Da Yan has archers, and I don't know that Da Yan has silver arrows, and even if time moves forward, Da Yan is about to occupy Qingzhou, and they are still in the dark in Chang'an City.

And this war,

Chen Qingzhi's 7,000 white-robed troops were also deliberately revealed by them.

Datang is confused about Da Yan.

Nothing is known.

But Da Yan seemed to have opened up the whole map, and he even knew when they would come to attack Puxian.

Yes, they know!

Otherwise, he would not have transferred the archers and cavalry, as well as Chen Qingzhi's white-robed army, and Wei Wushu.

This needs to be provisioned in advance.

So

Great Yan knew about their Northern Expedition!

Dayan knows everything, knows everything!!

And Datang doesn't know anything.

I didn't know about the existence of the archers, so I lost the lives of more than 3,000 soldiers, after that, what else would I not know? Waiting for them to dig?

How many more soldiers will die because they don't know?

As soon as Li Jing thought of this, he felt that this was a bottomless pit, extremely terrifying.

The legend of the Great Flame,

Even His Majesty was dumbfounded.

Yanchi Road, Cement Road, Potatoes....

The economy and people's livelihood are too much magical.

Maybe the same is true for the military?

"Pharmacist, the battle situation is urgent, it's time to make a choice!"

At this time, Cheng Yanjin couldn't help but remind.

These words brought Li Jing's mind back.

He looked up.

He saw that all the generals, even the soldiers in the camp, were watching him.

They are all waiting for him!

Li Jing snorted and said in a deep voice: "In this battle, we don't know the specific information of Dayan. ”

"I don't know about the archers, so I started with a heel, and more than 3,000 brothers died, and I didn't know about the silver arrows, so we have been producing what we think is a good armor since the war."

"As everyone knows, those armors that cost manpower and material resources might as well be directly clothed, so that it is more convenient to move."

"The existence of the silver arrow has made the manpower and material resources we spend a joke, we are all doing useless work, and those armors are worn by my soldiers, which greatly restricts their movements."

"The battle clothes and cloth clothes are equal in front of this kind of arrow, we still greatly tie our hands and feet, we don't know anything about Da Yan, and Da Yan knows everything about us!"

"They know when we will go on the expedition, so they sent a large domestic army to Qingzhou, and they also know where we are going to fight, so the army gathers in Puxian, they know us too well, and we still don't know anything."

"This battle, I think..."

Li Jing was silent for a moment, and then continued to speak: "You can't continue to fight!" ”

"On the premise of not understanding the enemy's various situations, to win this battle, I think it is possible for the gods to command!"

"However, this is just the eyes of my family, I plan to write a letter immediately, tell Your Majesty about the situation here, and let Your Majesty make the final choice, you see....how?"

Li Jing inspected the crowd.

After all, it was a war that gathered countless eyes, and it even brought the family in, so even if Li Jing was a god of war, he didn't dare to stop this battle by himself.

He....not qualified!

"I agree!"

One of the generals spoke.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be Wei Chi Jingde.

Li Jing looked at him a little stunned, he didn't know that anyone would agree, and even if he guessed that someone thought the same as him, he couldn't guess that it was Wei Chi Jingde who was the first to stand up.

There is no other reason.

Wei Chi Jingde's personal soldiers died too much in the battle in the morning, and it was a meaningless death, and anyone would hold their breath and want revenge.

Now.

Not only did he think so, but Cheng Yanjin and others were also stunned.

Wei Chi Jingde thought for a moment and said, "Do you think I won't agree?" No....only when you have experienced it yourself can you know what kind of despair it is. ”

"I watched my brethren fall one by one, and tried to rush up and kill them to take revenge, but they ran so fast that I couldn't catch up."

"And when I was sure I wanted to escape, they could bite me and bite to death! Only they beat me, I will never hit them, what a kind of despair! ”

Wei Chi Jingde said as he spoke, his voice trembling more and more.

He seemed to collapse again, holding his head with tears in his eyes, and continued tremblingly: "And when the war is over, pharmacist, do you know? The casualty ratio reached 1 to 9! ”

"Meaning, out of nine dead, only one is alive, what a horrible proportion? After all, the general casualty ratio can reach half. ”

"It's their weapons that are terrifying! Even the living are not happy, I asked the marching doctor, there were no minor injuries! When that kind of silver arrow is shot, it is either dead or maimed, and all the brothers who are alive are disabled! The best must be taken care of by someone to live this life! ”

"Our army has paid such a terrible price, and the archers have not been damaged at all, how can this battle be fought? How to fight!! ”

In the end, Wei Chi Jingde said that he was almost coaxed.

He is not targeting Li Jing and others.

It's a way to vent the impotent anger in his heart.

These words,

Completely silenced Cheng Yanjin and others.

Cheng Biting Jin stepped forward, his eyes were soft, as if he wanted to comfort Yu Chi Jingde.

But the outstretched hand,

Halfway through it stopped.

Ultimately.

sighed, and then said to Li Jing that he agreed to his proposal, and also signed the letter.

Qin Qiong, Chai Shao and others also expressed their positions.

None of them are optimistic about this battle.

In the face of Da Yan, who is equipped with the same elite as the personnel, they don't know how to win except for the tactics of the sea of people.

And now.

The Tang army was outnumbered, but almost all of them were archers and infantry.

Da Yan also has 7,000 white-robed troops in the dark, they are all real cavalry, cavalry that can beat the Turks!

And the cavalry has always been the king on the battlefield!!

This battle.

even made them think that even if there was no archers and Wei Wushu, just in the face of the seven thousand white-robed troops, the Tang Dynasty would not necessarily win.

Ultimately.

Most of the generals proposed to advise His Majesty, and a few disagreed.

Those were all generals sent by the clan.

Several of them function more like mascots.

In this battle, the Shi clan made a lot of efforts, and several of them came to see what Li Jing did and did not participate in wartime decision-making.

So along the way.

It's all quiet.

But now to propose a withdrawal, they can't sit still.

"Can't be withdrawn!"

"General Li, you can't withdraw! The eyes of the whole Tang Dynasty, even the Turks and Tibetans are watching. This withdrawal also removes the status of our Datang! ”

“…….”

They have a few admonitions.

Li Jing stared at them, without anger or smile, only calm, closer to flatness: "If I remember correctly, there are 8,000 people in the 50,000 army, which are put together by major families. ”

"Or, tonight passes, tomorrow comes, and you take the lead? I will give you all eight thousand. ”

The voice fell.

A few people, you look at me, I look at you, all of them are silent.

"What a joke! Isn't that a death sentence? ”

One person couldn't help but say.

Li Jing was angry: "Yes, you also know that it is to die!" ”

"The lives of your clan soldiers are fate, but my soldiers are not?"

"Ah???h

With this "ah", Li Jing came out full of anger.

Directly scared those people back a few steps.

And this time.

They also had no choice but to find a reason to persuade Li Jing.

After calling those people away.

Li Jing sat quietly in his tent, pondered, and closed his eyes.

After a while,

He opened his eyes, pulled out a piece of paper, and began to write.

The letter has already been written.

This letter is from his point of view, to suggest Li Shimin.

As a courtier, he felt that he had to have this heart.

"Your Majesty, in ancient times, there was King Goujian, who tasted gall in his stomach. In the face of the advanced nature of all walks of life in Dayan, and the internal evil diseases of Datang have not been eliminated, maybe I, Datang, should also take this road..."

"In addition, Your Majesty, the last general....It is also recommended to prepare for the relocation of the capital."

This night, Li Jing was writing and stopping.

I kept writing down suggestions that I thought were useful.

As for whether it is adopted in the end, it is not his business, but His Majesty's business as a decision-maker.

It is His Majesty's duty to collect the words of a hundred schools of thought and accept a few places.

.

….….…….….….

The other side.

After the meeting.

Wei Chi Jingde's whole person was very heavy.

He walked in front of his border army camp.

There was silence here.

From the outside, countless soldiers sat there, all of them, all of them extremely low.

The atmosphere is dignified.

Yesterday's rout is really a completely lingering shadow on these young men.

They are Wei Chi Jingde's soldiers, and Wei Chi Jingde is the most relied on by His Majesty, so they are ranked first in all major armies and the first in terms of identity.

It can be said that he is the pride of heaven in the army.

But the battle in the morning almost blinded them.

Since joining the army,

Why can't you hit me, and I can't hit you!!

And this situation is inevitable.

Just like the later Emily and the oil country, that bay woke up the world with the concept of "you can hit me, I can't hit you".

With dozens or even hundreds of casualties, millions of oil countries have fled and died.

How terrible!

Such is the advantage of advanced weapons.

The archers are the inexplicable ones that belong to the era of cold weapons.

Da Yuan relied on them to run rampant and domineering in the whole world, attacking at will, and being invincible.

And in the Southern Song Dynasty, it was rude because there were too many city walls, which was not good for the archers.

And now ....

The Tang Army is attacking, not defensive.

So without the city wall to rely on, it can be said that it was killed indiscriminately.

Now.

These soldiers are filled with an atmosphere called sadness.

In fact,

Not only Wei Chi Jingde's border army, but also the atmosphere of the entire Datang camp is a little heavy today.

This morning's battle,

They all saw it.

It was a terrible scene!

They were all scared.

For Da Yan, the boiling battle intent before had now disappeared without a trace, and they were a little terrified when they thought of the picture this morning.

Wei Chi Jingde walked in.

"General, you're here!"

"Hurry up, stand up for me, the general has arrived, what are you still doing in a daze? Be stupid, go home stupid! ”

Immediately, an adjutant general rushed over.

And, yelling at the soldiers who were sitting on the ground.

The soldiers stood up.

Gather.

But!

They all lowered their heads, weak, and confused.

The lieutenant was about to be reprimanded again.

Wei Chi Jingde interrupted him with a wave of his hand.

He has always loved soldiers like a son.

That's why these soldiers are gathered here, as if they're waiting for an answer!

Wei Chi Jingde sighed.

Slowly walked to the front of the crowd.

"Actually, not only you, but now our entire Tang military camp, including me, General Cheng, General Qin, and even General Li, our state is similar to yours, and we even know more, and we are more afraid than you."

"What do you think of this morning's battle? Just say it, and talk about the grievances and grievances in your heart. ”

Wei Chi Jingde's voice spread throughout the barracks.

There was some commotion among the soldiers.

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and your breathing is a little short.

Wei Chi Jingde didn't urge, just looked at them quietly.

"General, this morning....Did Da Yan not kill this morning? Did you let us go? ”

"We are still a mile away from the barracks, and they could have continued to pursue and kill us, but they didn't!"

finally

One of the soldiers stepped forward and asked in a trembling voice.

Everyone's eyes were on Wei Chi Jingde.

Wei Chi Jingde also looked at them,

After counting the interest,

He didn't choose to hide it, or to be perfunctory, or even to lie.

Instead, he nodded, even if he knew that this would cause turmoil in the army.

Wei Chi Jingde said: "After analysis, it may be so, but....I don't have an accurate answer. ”

"General, that archer, don't we have any way to fight back? If the number of people is not enough, is it just waiting for death? ”

At this time, someone asked again.

Wei Chi Jingde's eyes froze, he closed his eyes, and nodded slightly: "Yes!" The attack method and rhythm are the same as those of the Blue Dragon Camp back then! I had worked with General Qinglong for a long time, and I knew too well the horror of that way of fighting. ”

"Whoever is targeted by them, as long as it is a plain, no one can escape!"

Wei Chi Jingde took a deep breath, his gaze swept over everyone, he could see the fear in their eyes, and continued: "However, this is a situation that we didn't know before, and now that we know, we will definitely not let you go to death casually." ”

"Don't worry, even if it's a charge, I'll be with you."
