"General, retreat! The casualties of such a forcible crossing are too great, and it is not good for our army! ”

Mu Ying came to Fu Youde's side and persuaded.

Wang Bi also echoed: "What Xiping Hou said is extremely true, now that the good opportunity has been lost, there is no point in forcing the crossing, so let's withdraw and think of another countermeasure!" ”

"Alas!"

Fu Youde sighed regretfully, and finally had to agree to the suggestion of the two lieutenant generals: "Let them come back." ”

"Yes!"

The gong sounded, and Hu Hai, who was about to rush ahead, stopped when he heard the sound, looked at the opposite bank that was close at hand, and slapped the river hard.

"Retreat, retreat!"

Hu Hai shouted, turned around and dived to swim back, and the other soldiers followed one after another, giving up the plan to force the crossing.

On the other side, Darima breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the Ming army retreating.

Finally hold it, as long as you hold this Baishi River, it is equivalent to guarding Qujing and Yunnan!

The two armies are opposite each other across the river, whoever dares to attack will be attacked by the other party's half-crossing, this time the Ming army is attacking, Darima is defending, the blocking of this river is extremely unfavorable to the Ming army!

After Darima repelled the Ming army, he did not take advantage of the momentum to pursue, the Ming army just sent a forward force to cross, and the 200,000 troops behind did not have any losses, if he dared to pursue, he would be countered by the other party.

In the Han Dynasty, Han Xin used the example of first forcibly crossing the feint defeat, luring the other party to pursue, and then countering the opponent with a half-crossing attack, he would not take this risk, as long as he could hold Qujing, he would be content!

After Hu Hai withdrew, he went to see Fu Youde, who had already hung up his lottery at this time, but he was lucky not to be shot directly.

Li Wei saw him like this next to him, and he couldn't help but have some admiration in his heart, although these generals in the early Ming Dynasty were all arrogant and domineering, but they were really fierce when they started fighting, like this kind of charge of leading soldiers, one would lose his life if he was not careful, if he was a general in peacetime, who would be willing to give up his glory and wealth to take this risk?

It is these fierce generals who have fought all the way up that they are accustomed to seeking wealth and danger in order to be so brave.

"General, the last general lost the battle, please punish the general!" Hu Hai arched his hand with some loss.

Originally, he wanted to fight for a breath this time, but he didn't expect to succeed again, and ended up losing and retreating.

However, this time Li Wei ridiculed him without coming up, which made him breathe a little relieved.

"Hu Dudu doesn't have to blame himself, he doesn't follow people's wishes, and it's no wonder that you."

Fu Youde comforted softly, and then said: "Let's discuss how to cross this Baishi River, if we want to recover Yunnan, we must not be stopped here!" ”

Everyone was silent for a while, and they all thought of a good way to control the enemy.

Li Wei thought about it seriously, stepped forward and said, "I think it's okay to just bomb the fuck!" ”

Everyone: "......"

Li Wei seemed to be on the body of Sun Lei, and he bombarded his mother at every turn, causing everyone to roll their eyes.

"General Li, this is not a siege, you can retreat first when you bombard, and then block it after you finish bombing, it's useless to do so, you can't let our soldiers force the crossing against your artillery fire, right?"

Wang Bi couldn't help but speak.

Everyone also nodded in agreement, even Mu Ying, the cannonball is not long-sighted.

"Why not? We can have an infantry artillery coordination, I will fire the artillery in the back, and Hu Hai will rush in front, and we will definitely be able to successfully force the crossing! Li Wei said confidently.

Hu Hai's face suddenly changed when he heard this: "Li Wei, don't go too far!" ”

Let him rush in front of him under artillery fire, this is to trap him!

Fu Youde also frowned when he heard this, Li Wei's method is too damaging, this is not a fool.

Li Wei chuckled, squatted down and drew a big river on the ground, drew two more triangles on the river, pointed to this triangle and explained:

"Everyone, please see, this is the Baishi River, this is the position of our army, this is the position of the enemy, I can arrange the artillery on both flanks and bombard the enemy troops on the opposite side, so that there is a safe area at the angle formed between the two ballistics, and Hu Hai can lead people to cross the river under the cover of artillery fire."

"After the enemy can't resist the artillery fire and retreats, we will also adjust the angle of the artillery bombardment and move forward, the Baishi River is only a few miles wide, and my artillery range is more than three miles, so that at least a safe area more than one mile wide can be cleared for our army, and ensure that Hu Hai's forward army can land safely!"

The generals gathered around, looked down at the figure he had drawn, thought for a moment, and their eyes lit up!

It was a good idea, but they still had some doubts about it.

"General Li, can your artillery range really reach more than three miles?" Wang Bi asked with some skepticism, this is very important, if the range of the artillery cannot be reached, then all this Li Wei said is empty talk.

Li Wei immediately said: "There is no joke in the army!" ”

Come on, the jokes you've been talking about these days are not young or old!

Everyone looked at him with a serious look on his face, and they couldn't help but scold.

Zhang Yi looked at him vigilantly, and asked, "Your artillery won't hit the friendly troops in the middle, right?" ”

Li Wei immediately said with a displeased face: "What is this called, we are serious about the cannon!" Don't worry, the error will not exceed 30 steps, Hu Haichong only needs to be careful, keep a distance of 50 steps from the artillery landing point, it will definitely be no problem! ”

Li Wei took a bite of Hu Hai, Hu Hai couldn't help it, and asked angrily: "Why does it have to be me?" ”

Li Wei gave him a blank look, who told you to talk a lot?

At this time, Mu Ying also spoke: "Hu Dudu has already had the experience of a forced crossing, and it is not unreasonable to still use Hu Dudu as the forward this time. ”

Li Wei's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he hurriedly praised Mu Ying secretly, why didn't he think of such a good excuse!

Hu Hai opened his mouth, unable to refute for a while, he could only secretly hate himself for his previous rush for quick success and quick profit, and snatched the task of crossing first.

Fu Youde thought about it, and also felt that what Mu Ying said was reasonable, so he comforted him: "This method is really good, if Hu Dudu can complete the forced crossing, I will definitely ask Your Majesty for your merits!" ”

Hu Hai's cheeks twitched, if Li Wei's method can really succeed, then leading the troops to cross first is indeed a rare military feat, but he is afraid that Li Wei will make it bad!

"The last general will definitely live up to the general's trust!"

Silent for a moment, Hu Hai still gave up this task, although he still has worries in his heart, but he also wants to get this military merit, rich and valuable, he has already taken a risk before, and it is not impossible to do it again, if he can really succeed, maybe after this battle in Yunnan, he can also be a marquis!

Fu Youde nodded with satisfaction, and finally looked around at the generals and asked, "Do you have any questions?" ”

The generals glanced at each other and shook their heads, anyway, it was Hu Hai who was fighting and not them, and they could only pray silently for Hu Hai.

Just when Fu Youde wanted to announce the implementation of this plan, Mu Ying interrupted him again: "General, when we came out, His Majesty told us to use both Qi and Zheng, I think we can also send a small number of men and horses to secretly cross the river from the downstream with a large number of flags to the rear of the enemy army, and when our army crosses strongly, these horses will be used as suspicious soldiers to shout in the mountains and forests, which will definitely disturb the enemy army, and it will have a miraculous effect!" ”

"Xiping Hou's plan is very good!"

"Yes, if the enemy army is in chaos like this, our army will be able to break it easily!"

Everyone praised one after another, and Li Wei couldn't help but be a little impressed by this man who was rough on the outside and tender on the inside.

When Fu Youde heard this, he was also overjoyed: "Very good, then let's use both strategies, Zhang Yi!" ”

"The last general!" Zhang Yi stepped forward and arched his hand.

"Order you to lead 500 troops, cross from the downstream, and use suspicious tactics!"

"The last general obeys!"

Zhang Yi led the order to retreat, and Fu Youde said again: "Li Wei, Hu Hai!" ”

"The last general!"

Li Wei and Hu Haihai stepped forward.

"Order you to shell and force the crossing, Hu Hai is the vanguard," Speaking of this, Fu Youde paused and said to Li Wei seriously: "Li Wei, the shelling of your Shenji Battalion must be accurate, and you must not hurt your own people!" ”

Fighting a war is not a child's play, no matter what grievances there are between individuals, fighting side by side on the battlefield cannot do bad to one's own people, this is related to the net worth and lives of 200,000 soldiers in the army!

Don't look at Hu Hai, Zhang Yi and others who have been sneering at Li Wei, but they won't mess around when they really fight, Fu Youde knows this.

But Li Wei is a newcomer, and he is really a little worried that this kid is relying on the saint's unscrupulous nonsense.

Li Wei's expression was solemn, and he said solemnly: "Don't worry, general, I won't joke with the lives of the soldiers!" ”

He can pit Hu Hai, but he can't pit the soldiers led by Hu Hai, the Ming Dynasty is now controlled by the guard, and these soldiers are not Hu Hai's private soldiers.

Seeing this, Fu Youde nodded and asked the two to retreat. (End of chapter)
