Chapter 123: Sending Troops Alone!?
The next part of the Imperial Decree is like this......
"However, in order to prevent the empty army of Hezong Pass and being taken advantage of by the enemy, Gu must not dispatch all of them......"
When reading this, everyone was quite normal, after all, whether it was Qin Wu or Ren Hanran, they must not have thought about the whole army attacking, just like what was discussed before, the safety of the Hezong Pass is the first place, even if the troops are to be dispatched, with the cooperation of the various armies, half of the number of people who are dispatched to the Hezong Pass, and even plus the remnants of other Yangguo armies other than the Seven Absolute Army, the number of two-thirds of the total number of people dispatched to the Hezong Pass is at most.
The million army of Hezhongguan, even if half of it is dispatched, it is also 500,000 troops, and the enemy's main force is only the 70,000 troops of the Seven Absolute Army, 500,000 against 70,000, how is it enough, if even 500,000 troops composed of various elites will be defeated by each other, then if there are more people, it is estimated that it will be difficult to succeed, at most both defeats will be injured, and it will become the last straw that crushes the camel, but then the two defeats of the big war loss gap are really acceptable to Hezhongguan and the Han State?
Therefore, 500,000 troops, if it can be achieved, if it can't...... Then I still have to stick to the Hezong Pass and resolutely not take a step, saying that I am depressed, no matter what, it is better than going out to die, and in this case, I can't blame them for delaying the military plane or anything......
Although Qin Wu and Ren Hanran had planned it this way, the words that shocked them were the next sentence read by the eunuch......
“...... Because of this situation, I ordered that, in addition to the general Hu Ben, the rest of the wing guards, Qiu Yi, Xiao cavalry, and county guards were all left behind to stand by, so that the Hu Ben army fought alone, and the Hu Ben general Qin Wu personally led the whole army of the Hu Ben army to attack, and went to fight with the Seven Absolute Army, this is a great opportunity for the new Hu Ben general to show his military exploits, I hope not to disappoint me, admire!"
After reading it, the eunuch closed the imperial decree, entrusted his hands to it, and waited for Qin Wu to receive the decree, but there was a mess below, as if it had exploded, and there was a lot of noise for a while, and no one from Qin Wu or Ren Hanran immediately went up to receive the decree.
"Playing alone?"
"The Tiger Army is fighting alone?"
"What's going on?"
Some of the grassroots officers and sergeants below were surprised when they heard this, although they didn't know anything about the strength of the Seven Peerless Army, but the imperial decree said that it was the trump card division of the Yang Kingdom, and it was also the army that made the Han State so prosperous that even the emperor had alarmed the army, although the Tiger Ben Army was very elite, but only one army of the Tiger Ben Army fought out, and only one-fifth of the strength of the entire Hezong Pass, they were not jealous of the Tiger Ben Army at all now that the Tiger Ben Army would monopolize the military merits, but felt that this decision was too light for the enemy?
"Or is General Qin indeed too strong, even stronger than General Xiang Hui, so Your Majesty thinks that with General Qin's leadership, it is completely enough to destroy the Seven Peerless Army?"
A sergeant below said this, and a group of sergeants next to him also nodded when they heard it, after all, at that time, Qin Wu resisted the appearance of hundreds of thousands of troops in the Yang Kingdom with one person and one shot, and the horror of hitting tens of thousands of people with one move, they still remembered it vividly, and the limelight of Qin Wu's achievements in that battle overtook Xiang Hui, so thinking about it, Qin Wu was indeed extremely powerful, so His Majesty made him the new general of Huben and entrusted him with a heavy responsibility.
"That's right, what kind of ace seven peerless army, isn't the three Yang army of Yang Country also the most elite troops of Yang Kingdom, it wasn't that it was blocked by General Qin in that battle, and the entire Tiger Ben General was dispatched, maybe he looked down on them. This statement was quickly recognized by the people around him, and they all echoed it.
Qin Wu's attitude was okay, and he didn't immediately make any statement, first, he had not fought with the Seven Peerless Army, and he was curious about the strength of the Seven Peerless Army, and second, he had just obtained the powerful weapon of Jiuqing Mountain, and it was the time when he was most eager to try, even if the Seven Peerless Army was really composed of second-rate master-level soldiers, it was a big deal to let the Tiger Ben Army retreat, relying on the strength of his own Condensation Rank to be able to fight heartily, although he still had a certain vigilance about how Xiang Hui's strength of the Condensation Rank failed, but as long as he prepared the palace safely, it was unlikely to cause too much loss。
But in front of the sergeants below, only a few people looked wrong, and even suddenly became pale, they were the people of the Tiger Army, and they were veterans of the Tiger Army, veterans who had fought against the Seven Absolute Army and came back alive!
"How could it be...... The Seven Peerless Armies again?"
"Is the emperor crazy? In the face of that Seven Peerless Army, he actually only let us fight with one army of the Tiger Ben Army?"
They trembled all over their bodies and began to mumble some crazy words, even if this fear, even the idea of running away without a fight, made their dignity as an elite feel humiliated, but even if the dignity reminded them that it was their most despisable practice, and they couldn't do it, as long as they remembered the battle with the Seven Peerless Army, their bodies would involuntarily feel fear, and this fear quickly crossed their dignity, leaving only one thought in their minds - impossible! We alone will never be able to defeat that terrible army!
"Don't they know that we have fought with the Seven Peerless Army before! Don't they know what a terrible defeat we had in that battle! Obviously we have already learned from the past, why do they only let us attack alone!?" One of the veterans couldn't help but squat down with his head in his hands, grabbing and pulling at random. The other veterans next to him saw that he was not doing well, and hurried up to reassure him, but this reassurance could not even soothe their own hearts.
In addition to a few generals and deputy generals, of course, Emperor Huan Ling also knows the results of the battle, and maybe the ten permanent servants or other emperors can trust and have enough rights to know, after all, such a big loss, it is not some small fights and losses can be dealt with in private, and the two sorties have defeated the most elite tiger army in Yangguo, one of which is to let the tiger army die more than 100,000 of the most elite soldiers before they barely broke out, although Xiang Hui chose to conceal it below, but to Emperor Huan Ling, there was still a truthful report, but in the end, Emperor Huan Ling also chose the same decision as Xiang Hui, that is, to conceal itOtherwise, if this terrible army is known to the people of the Han Kingdom, I am afraid that no one will dare to fight again.
But what made Ren Hanran puzzled was that since Emperor Huan Ling also knew about this, why did he still order only one army to fight? And it was still the Tiger Ben Army that had paid a painful and huge price on the Seven Peerless Army? Even if the Tiger Ben Army became more and more defeated and brave, no matter how difficult it was, the gap in strength could not be made up by courage alone.
"And ......" Ren Hanran looked around, glanced at the situation of the veterans around him, and it didn't look like he was full of courage and wanted to be ashamed, he only saw the fear from the bottom of his heart from those veterans.
In this case, whether it is strength or military spirit, it is clear that the four major armies must be sent to fight together in order to have a chance of victory!
With this kind of incomprehension, the more Ren Hanran thought about it, the more difficult it became to understand what Emperor Huan Ling was thinking, and then he stared at the eunuch who read out the imperial decree, stood up and asked loudly: "Lord Messenger, have you really truthfully conveyed the news of Your Majesty?"
