Chapter 666
Cangxian's retreat was swift and smooth, almost to a fault.
The enemy is as if he is blind and cannot see anything.
It's almost funny. I don't know how they have been entangled with these people for several months.
Of course, it is said so casually, but the danger and difficulty involved are not small at all.
Moreover, even with such a smooth retreat, accidents inevitably occurred along the way, resulting in being discovered by the enemy and forced to move while fighting.
"What did you do?"
In the county seat of Cangxian County, where the rebel army is located, on the top of the city gate, the commander-in-chief met the team that had escaped along the way.
Then when he looked at the crowd of Daqian soldiers under the city, their faces turned a little dark.
In response, the captain of this team touched his head and explained:
"When we retreated, we accidentally bumped into Daqian's patrol. Our numbers were too small, which gave them warning time, causing them to send a large force to encircle and suppress us."
"Isn't this because we were bringing many old, weak, women and children with us, as well as the safety of other teams' retreat, so we made a temporary decision and went straight to the county seat."
"I thought that since the large army is here, at least it won't be too early to retreat, so we escaped all the way!"
After hearing the captain's explanation, the commander-in-chief looked a little better.
"In this case, you stay here first, and when the time comes, you will retreat with the main force!!"
"Someone, take them down to rest!"
Upon hearing this, the captain immediately saluted, "Yes, Commander-in-Chief!"
After the team left, Jijiu comforted the commander-in-chief and said:
"Don't be gloomy, at least this is a good thing!"
"Good thing? Huh..."
The commander-in-chief snorted coldly, "He doesn't know that our headquarters is almost turning into a dead place. Running here is almost like death. It is better to move to the mountains. The losses may be heavier, but we will definitely not be unable to escape." "
"Now that we have escaped here, what will we do next? Let them die with us?"
Jijiu laughed and said: "Don't sound so dejected, who said we are in a dead end here? It's not like we have no chance to break out!"
"Besides, by escaping to the county seat, they will at least give the enemy a false impression and make them avoid retreating as much as possible, leaving enough time for the retreating team!"
The commander-in-chief looked at the sacrificial wine and finally sighed.
"This is the truth, but..."
"No, no, they know better than us. Since you have chosen to come, why are you still struggling?"
Regarding the explanation of the wine sacrifice, the commander-in-chief was finally speechless and silent.
What happened next was indeed as expected by the central government. After the enemy discovered that many people and teams had disappeared inexplicably, they gathered intelligence and combined with the fact that teams fled to Cangxian County from time to time, they all felt that rebels were brewing. What a big conspiracy.
Therefore, many places have launched attacks on rebel strongholds. As soon as it is confirmed that the rebels in the stronghold have disappeared, the army will immediately move towards the county seat.
As a result, around the county town, Daqian's army gathered more and more, and soon reached 2 people.
The commander-in-chief looked at the endless camps outside the city, smiled and said to the officers:
"I found that our Han army rarely made large-scale active attacks. We were always surrounded by the enemy with several times our own troops to fight defensive battles under the city wall. We should really think that we are honest people and easy to bully!!"
Everyone laughed, and the sacrificial wine also laughed and said:
"That's what we say, but why are we not strong enough? If our troops were as many as the enemy, or even half as many as those on the opposite side, I would dare to open a grand battle formation and bulldoze them."
"But we don't have that many troops. If we can't fight such a big war, it will be very difficult. There is nothing we can do, there is nothing we can do!!"
The words of the wine sacrificer were naturally joking. They naturally knew the strength of the Han army, and they also understood that they could win a big battle against the enemy head-on.
But the Han army's territory is too small, and it really can't afford to lose such an elite force.
In Liu Wu's words, using one's own advantages to attack the enemy's disadvantages is combat.
So now, as far as the enemy and we are concerned, defending the city is the last word. You can open a bleeding wound to the enemy and make the enemy continue to weaken.
In this way, if the enemy is weak and we are strong, we can naturally win.
But this is not so wonderful for the soldiers defending the city.
I just heard the commander-in-chief complain: "If I can go back alive this time, I will ask the central government to expand the army no matter what. It's so frustrating to keep fighting like this!!"
Jijiu smiled and said: "Okay, it's not like we won't let you fight tough battles. Once our mission of holding on is completed, there will be plenty of tough battles for you to fight when we retreat!"
The commander-in-chief curled his lips, and so did the other officers.
We fight a tough battle during the retreat. Is that called a tough battle?
The commander-in-chief looked into the distance with a faint look, and suddenly said:
"I don't know if Daqian's reinforcements have arrived now. I guess they will arrive soon. The pressure on us is getting bigger and bigger!!"
The sacrificial wine was also speechless. Yes, once the first batch of Daqian reinforcements arrive, the number of troops outside the city will increase to at least 5000. With the [-] people in their city, how should they fight and how should they break out of the encirclement? ?
As for holding on to the city, don't think about it. Reinforcements from Daqian will continue to flow, large armies will gather, and a large number of siege equipment will be used. It will be great if the county can hold on for half a month.
At this time, in a village in Cang County, the walls and interior of the village were blazing with flames. Under the flames, an old man panted and said to the leader:
"Brother, the stones, rolling wood, and wood are all gone, and we can't draw the bow and arrow. What should we do?"
The leader of the old man looked at the bottom of the village, then at the four remaining brothers, gritted his teeth and said:
"Pile up the firewood and burn the bodies of my uncles and brothers. We must not let them live in peace even after they die!"
"Also, all these armors, weapons, strong bows, and arrows are also piled up and burned together. They cannot be left to the enemy."
"By the way, food, food is also poured with grease and burned together. In short, nothing can be left to the enemy."
"Everyone is getting tired. After a while, we won't have to suffer anymore!!"
At the foot of the mountain, the attacking officers and soldiers once again changed their teams and launched a new round of attack.
"There aren't many rebels in this small village, but it's a bit difficult to defeat. Fortunately, you're here!"
Yes, Daqian's reinforcements have entered Cang County and have chosen the nearest rebel stronghold to attack. With the continuous attacks, they have been able to determine that the rebels in the village are almost dead.
"Hahaha, how can these traitors know the power of my court? This time, our army will definitely take down this stronghold!"
After saying that, the commander-in-chief pulled out the sword from his waist and waved it hard.
"attack!"
"Kill!"
Accompanied by the cry of killing, thousands of Daqian soldiers rushed towards the mountain stronghold like a tide.
Along the way, they stepped over rocks, rolling logs, and corpses of their comrades, and charged quickly without encountering any obstacles.
Inside the village, five old men gathered together holding torches, listening to the shouts of killing that filled the mountains and plains.
"Brother, it's all done!"
The leader of the old man smiled softly and said: "It's time for us to leave, are you afraid?"
The other four people laughed loudly, "Hahaha, we Hong family members are all on Huangquan Road, why should we be afraid!!"
words fell,
The torch fell.
then,
The sky is full of fire.
