"These bodies must be disposed of immediately. ”

When standing on the gate tower of this border city, looking at the circle of black and red walls, Ding Ning said slowly.

"What to do!"

Nangong Caishu couldn't help but cry out angrily.

Her body trembled violently.

She didn't want to vent her emotions like Ding Ning, but she couldn't imagine why Ding Ning could still maintain such a calm when she saw such a picture.

"Your anger and hatred now outweigh your sorrow. ”

Ding Ning turned his head to look at Nangong Caishu, and his face gradually became cold, "Now someone else has slaughtered a city of our Great Qin Dynasty, at least leaving women and children, but the army of our Great Qin Dynasty has not only slaughtered other people's cities." This is war, anger and hatred against an enemy who has already missed, and can only make you act very impulsively, leading to greater mistakes, and it makes no sense. ”

"Nothing to do?"

Nangong Caishu's face became unusually white, she bit her lip tightly, and squeezed out a voice from between her teeth, "You let me not hate the enemy who slaughtered this city?"

Ding Ning was silent for a moment and said, "You have to understand that it is not these generals who lead the army to fight that can cause war, but always the people with the highest position in the world. If you get to the bottom of it, then who led such a thing?"

Nangong Caishu's breathing gradually stopped, she only felt that she couldn't fully agree with Ding Ning's words, but she didn't know how to refute it.

"Hate doesn't solve the problem. You have just heard the dictation of some of the women here, and it is understandable that the other party used this method to force the Minshan Sword Sect not to intervene in the war of the Wu Clan. Our Great Qin Dynasty's army entered other people's land, what is this in itself?"

A hint of bitterness appeared at the corner of Ding Ning's mouth, "I only know that if I don't deal with these corpses now, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of serious diseases, and many of these women and children will also die." ”

"Indifferent, this is what a successful general needs to consider?" Nangong Caishu laughed miserably.

"Not really. Ding Ning shook his head, "Always think about the people who are still alive, this is what a general needs to consider." ”

Black smoke ignited.

The Su Guards began to burn a raging fire, burning all the corpses in the border city.

"It's not a good fight. ”

Ding Ning didn't look at the raging fire and burning ashes anymore, he really looked up at Yinshan Mountain, which was already not far away, with some indifference, and said slowly, "It's not about us people. ”

Nangong Caishu turned her head to look at him even more shocked.

Ding Ning said slowly: "Whether it is the defenders in the city here or the army that came from outside the city to support, they all died near this circle of city walls, there are not many cultivators in the Wu clan who can slaughter the city by themselves, and the only one who can rush all the way to kill all the defenders along the way so quickly should be Yelu Blue Wolf, who has the nickname of the Prairie Blue Wolf." ”

"He is the generalissimo of the Wu Clan. ”

After Ding Ning paused, he unconsciously clenched his fists, and then said: "The generalissimo is in danger, and when he arrives here, it can only mean that they will not fight according to all of us' expectations. So they probably won't be the same as I thought, just using delaying tactics until after the snow falls. ”

Nangong Caishu began to understand what he wanted to express, and his bloody face, which had just recovered, slowly turned snow-white again, "You mean that they may instead adopt the tactics of surprise attack or head-on attack?"

Ding Ning nodded.

Nangong Caishu's whole body was cold, and she said with some difficulty, "Then how can I spread the news through Yinshan as much as possible?"

"It didn't work. ”

Ding Ning shook his head, "Even the Yelu Blue Wolf has already arrived here, even if we can reach the frontline immediately after passing on the news now, it will be too late." What's more, what is the identity of those great generals on the front line, who will obey our construction lightly?"

"Jereuzura, their thoughts... Maybe he wants to use a big victory to give confidence to Donghu and the Great Chu Dynasty, no matter how heavy the price will be. As long as this price can allow them to finally block the Great Qin Dynasty in Yinshan, instead of turning them into the same Cunzài as the Yue Clan. ”

No one is a god, and it is impossible to really predict a thing.

Ding Ning's judgment of the Wu clan before his departure had already been wrong, but at least his judgment at this time was very accurate.

In the autumn of the twelfth year of Yuanwu of the Great Qin Dynasty.

Shortly after the arrival of Ding Ning's Su Guard, the Wu Kingdom gathered more than 300,000 people at a terrible speed and launched a fierce attack on the Great Qin army that crossed the border in three directions.

The Wushi country has been nomadic since ancient times, and for the Qin people in Guanzhong, the people of the Wushi country are all grassland barbarians.

These steppe barbarians are good at catching wild horses and taming horses, they are skilled in riding, coming and going like the wind, speed and archery are their greatest advantages, and what was originally the biggest headache for the Great Qin army was that they had a large expanse of grassland behind them.

These grasslands were wilderness to Great Qin's army, but they were all cities to them.

The advantage of the Great Qin army lies in the art of talisman and battle array, there are many cultivators, and the ability to advance the position and engage the army is unparalleled in the world, but what everyone did not expect is that the army of the Wu clan did not adopt the tactics of guerrilla at all, but directly formed a large army, and directly launched a frontal hard shock with the border army of the Great Qin Dynasty!

It stands to reason that these Wu Clan troops, which are mainly cavalry troops, cannot fight against the positions of Great Qin's army at all, but it is precisely because they did not expect that the number of Great Qin's troops assembled on the border is simply not enough to encounter such a battle.

Under the strong attack of the army of the Wu Clan, which was several times its size, the army of the Great Qin Dynasty suffered a rout and suffered extremely heavy losses.

After paying for the lives of more than 70,000 soldiers, the Wu Kingdom killed 60,000 troops of the Great Qin Dynasty, and seized almost all the grain, grass and baggage of the Great Qin Dynasty's precursor troops, and continued to pursue the remnants of the border army of the Great Qin Dynasty!

Such a victory is staggering.

Even when the Great Qin Dynasty fought with the Han, Zhao, and Wei dynasties, they did not pay such a heavy price at all.

At that time, the casualty ratio of the Qin army and the armies of the other three dynasties had always been maintained at more than one to three, that is, to kill one Qin army, at least three soldiers of other dynasties had to be paid.

The advantage of the Wu army itself was its speed, and when the pursuit began, it meant that the Qin army suffered greater casualties.

This is likely to be the biggest fiasco in the history of the Qin army.

What slightly changed the fate of this battle was the first batch of reinforcements, especially the first batch of cultivators who rushed from Changling to the outside of Yinshan.

Faster than a horse's hoof is the ascetic's sword.

The addition of a large number of cultivators made the losses of the cavalry pursued by the Wu Clan Kingdom very staggering for a while.

However, with many cultivators killed by the human sea tactics or the cultivators of the Wu Clan, the situation of the entire war was also extremely unfavorable for the Great Qin Dynasty.

Although it is only officially autumn, the temperature in the north outside the gate is already extremely cold, and the air is frosty.

When food and grass are scarce, the situation is even more severe for some armies, especially those that have been dispersed.

In a low-lying meadow, some miscellaneous trees have long since lost their yellow leaves, and on some of the long grass that has been cut and spread into a blanket, many wounded Qin soldiers are lying.

A round-faced girl with a sword was discussing the military situation with several generals with an extremely serious expression.

War is the easiest

At this moment, a terrible shrill warning sound suddenly sounded on the meadow, but only after a breath, the whistle turned into a whining ocarina.

This means that it is not the enemy who comes, but their own people.

A teenager appeared in the sight of the round-faced girl.

His outfit is similar to that of an ordinary Wu warrior, as if he is unusually afraid of the cold, wearing an unusually thick and rough fur robe, but his face is not the characteristic of the Wu clan, the most important thing is that his left hand is always slightly stretched forward, and a pale jade plaque hangs down from his fingertips, and it is simply engraved with a strong character.

This word "Li" was enough to make the round-faced girl and several generals instantly think that he could only be the exile of the Lihou Mansion who had just returned to the Guanwai, Li Xixing.

"Don't think about trying to attack that little urn city ten miles away. ”

Just glanced at the round-faced girl and several generals around her from a distance, Li Xixing said directly: "There is a trap there, and at least two Qin troops like you have been annihilated there. ”

Several Qin army generals glanced at each other, their eyes full of anger.

Remnants like them, in the pursuit of the Wu clan army, can only hide or even detour in a roundabout way, and it will take a long time to retreat to the border city of Yinshan.

However, the food and grass they brought with them could only last for a few days at most, and in their opinion, the food in the small urn city of the Wu people was the key to whether they could finally leave here alive.

"How many of you are there?"

Li Xixing didn't care about the expressions on the faces of these generals, and he rarely cared about the expressions on other people's faces in Changling, he just asked indifferently.

"There were three hundred and fifty-seven wounded, three hundred and twenty-one who were able to fight. The round-faced girl was the calmest at this time, and after Li Xixing asked, she didn't hesitate to answer.

"Too little. ”

Li Xixing was silent for a few breaths, and said, "A cavalry army of about 3,000 people from the Wu Clan Country will outflank here when it gets dark. ”

Unless it was an army composed of all cultivators, it would be absolutely impossible for the Qin army to defeat the cavalry of the Wu Clan Kingdom with the ratio of the number of people on both sides exceeding one to four, not to mention that it was only the remnants of the Qin army here.

In the absence of some powerful armament, ordinary swordsmen would not be able to get close enough to be shot alive by those horseback archers.

"Now there's only one choice. ”

Li Xixing still didn't care about the expressions on the faces of these generals, and then said: "Let all the wounded stay here, and the rest of the people will leave." ”

Among the several generals, a general in his forties looked cold, he looked at Li Xixing, and said slowly, "This may be the best choice, and it is also the most rational choice, but it is not our best choice." ”

Li Xixing didn't argue anything.

He just bowed deeply to the general.

Because the choice made by this general is in itself worthy of his respect.

He saluted and turned around.

Since this general chose to die here, it is not worth staying here to accompany these people to die here.

"Wait. ”

However, at the moment when he turned around, the voice of the round-faced girl sounded, "There must be other options and methods." ”

Li Xixing didn't look back, just looked indifferently at the barren grass in the distance that was taller than a person, thinking that after dark, there would be the other party's cavalry rushing out at any time.

"What options and methods?" he asked.

"Since you know that the cavalry is coming, maybe we can divert the cavalry?" said the round-faced girl, listening to his cold voice.

"We?"

Li Xixing sneered mercilessly, "Just us?"

"I am a practitioner of the Treasure Light Concept. ”

The round-faced girl was not angry because of this, but just seriously stated the facts, "I am the only disciple of Baoguangguan who has obtained all the true transmissions. ”
