Chapter 46: The Soldiers Are Divided into Two Paths
The remnants of the defeated soldiers of the former corps all gathered together and sighed, but you can imagine what happened to their soldiers, the whole army was filled with a depressing atmosphere, and it felt like life was worse than death, Chen Guantian, the military division, was helpless now, if there were more grain and grass baggage, maybe there would be a way to do it now, but in order to withdraw without showing a trace, they brought grain and grass for the past few days, and the baggage was not brought at all, and all soldiers carried weapons and armor at a minimum. Although a batch of war horses and some supplies were captured, this was simply a drop in the bucket and could not solve the problem.
Chen Guantian shook his feather fan and paced it around, and now it was to the point of life and death.
"I have a solution." Chen Guantian thought about it and finally came up with a solution.
When these generals heard this, they hurried over, and Chen Guantian shook his feather fan and said: "Marshal, the fact in front of us now is that if we wait here, then we will either be captured or killed in battle, and our food and grass have run out, but I have a plan, if we divide our troops and transfer most of the troops at the expense of a part of the troops, we may still be saved." ”
When the generals heard this, they wondered, what does it mean to transfer most of the troops at the expense of a part of the troops, we may still be saved? What does that mean?
Chen Guantian shook the feather fan and continued: "Our current supply of grain and grass is insufficient because there are too many people, if we give up some people, then our grain and grass I think can support us to change the road to the border, and now the reason why the troops of the Chaoyang Corps are setting up ambushes here is entirely because they know our situation, know that we have abandoned the heavy grain and grass, from the part of the grain and grass we took away plus the estimated speed of our march can probably judge the position of our exit line, But if we reduce the number of people, then the food and grass will be more abundant, and we can survive if we can hunt, so I think the solution now is to give up the cart and protect the commander. ”
After listening to Chen Guantian's analysis, the generals also nodded one after another, but soon another question came out, whose troops stayed? Everyone knows that staying means either dying in battle or being captured, and being captured is better than dying in battle, so it's basically ten dead, and it may be better for ordinary soldiers, at most it's just a reorganization, but generals are not necessarily, if it is a famous general who is a little famous, it is better, and he may be surrendered, but what about ordinary generals?
There are only two famous generals here, Hu Ben and Hu Wei, but General Hu Ben was beheaded by a nobody, and General Hu Wei is still angry, but there is nothing to be done about the situation. Thinking of this, all the generals looked at General Huwei on the side, but soon they looked at each other again, and only smiled bitterly, it seemed that their thoughts coincided with those around them.
General Huwei hadn't reacted yet, but as soon as he saw that the other generals were looking at him, he reacted, this task seemed to be tailor-made for himself, and his deep hatred and hatred were enough to let him stay here, and the prestige of his two tiger generals was enough to save him from death if he defected at the last moment of life and death.
To tell the truth, this General Huwei is also a character, General Hu Meng is the younger brother of General Huwei, his own brother, General Huwei is called Hu Xiong, Hu Meng is famous for his fierce battles, but this Hu Xiong is not, he is known for being resourceful, he himself is in charge of a battalion, called Huwei Battalion, which was given to him by the monarch of Sunset City, named after him, although it is under the establishment of the corps, but he can directly belong to the command of the General Staff, it is a direct battalion, From this, it is enough to see how much General Huwei is valued by the monarch of Sunset City.
Wang Lun heard that he killed his younger brother, he was not at the scene at the time, but even when he heard about it, he rushed back desperately, but when he saw his brother's cold corpse, General Huwei directly stormed away, and at that time, the murderous aura was released, and the people around him were frightened and retreated a distance, and they all looked sideways, how could this usually very elegant General Huwei burst out with such a strong murderous aura this time.
But on the same night, Chen Guantian suggested retreating quietly, so there was no place for this Huwei general's anger to be sprinkled, this was depressed, as soon as he heard this plan, he directly recommended himself, the marshal of the leading troops actually liked this Huwei general, because it was ruthless enough, but now that the situation was compelling, he didn't say anything more, just told him to be careful, be sure to save his life, and remember to stay in Qingshan without fear of no firewood.
Hu Xiong, the general of Huwei, also nodded yes, and ordered the Huwei battalion to get out of the queue, hand over the grain and grass, and take some more armaments from the large army, and then part ways with the large army. Since there were already scouts exploring the road before, so the road was moving very fast, and the Huwei battalion could soon see the large battalion of the Chaoyang Corps erected on the road, and after the Huwei battalion left, the large army also began to move, directly around a big circle, and crossed the border from the other side, this time as Chen Guantian speculated, the grain and grass handed over by the Huwei battalion was enough for the large army to use these days. Moreover, there was no ambush here, so it was easy to cross the border and return to Sunset City.
When the Huwei battalion saw the base camp of the Chaoyang Corps, it happened to be late, and although it was intercepted, the leading general of the Chaoyang Corps was still well defended. The general who led the troops this time is called Sun Xiang, a general who is good at defense, and the arrangement of troops is mainly based on defense, which is highly used, and he also has a very high status in the first corps.
Hu Xiong is also observing the arrangement of the camp at the moment, and he is also amazed in his heart, the general who leads the troops is well versed in the defensive formation from the perspective of the arrangement, but he is not to break through, but to attract attention, so he immediately turned over and got on the horse, lifted his weapon, Hu Meng used the mountain axe, this Hu Xiong used a bright silver gun, the silver gun has been in front, galloping, and the cavalry of the Huwei battalion behind him have also mounted their horses to kill the Chinese army camp of the Chaoyang Corps.
When they just rushed out, they were discovered by the vigilant soldiers of the Chaoyang Corps, and a heavy shield immediately appeared at the door, and the archers raised their bows behind the heavy shields, and then there was a throw, and the dense arrows flew to the cavalry of the Huwei battalion, and soon the cavalry fell from the horse, and Hu Xiongliang's silver spear struggled to resist, and finally the soldiers of the Chaoyang Corps who repelled their surprise attack did not come out to pursue, Hu Xiong looked back while running, My heart cooled a little.
