[69 Book Bar - www.] At this time, I desperately begged the gods not to let Luan Peng say anything like "I would like to advance and retreat with General Chai." Although I didn't think we might be invincible against the Snake Man, but If the fight continues like this, even if the Snake Man is defeated, at least half of the three armies will die on the battlefield. Although I really want to record military achievements, I don't want to add the word "posthumous title" to my official rank.
Luan Peng said: "Your Majesty, General Chai is commendable for his courage, but as a general, wisdom and courage must be combined to achieve victory in every battle."
When he said this first sentence, I couldn't help but look at him with admiration. I didn't expect that there was such a character among Shang Yong's fierce right army. It seems that although Shen Xiping himself is considered brave and foolhardy, he is also considered a wise man. Good job.
Luan Peng said: "Now that we are in a stalemate with the Snake people, it seems that it is difficult to open up the situation. It would be unwise to show off the courage of an ordinary man. I think that the discussion between General Mo and Master De is the best policy."
He also agreed to retreat! I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Although I was behind him and could only see his back, I felt that his back suddenly grew larger.
Bu Wu was too cautious and absolutely agreed to retreat. Now the three generals of the four armies all advocated retreat. Even if Luo Jingwei disagreed, it was useless. Marquis Wu said: "What do you think, General Luo?"
Luo Jingwei stood up, bowed and said: "Jingwei also feels that it is a good idea to retreat at the right time. The entire Republican army has been wiped out, and it is difficult for the snake people to become a force. Even if the snake people are rampant for a while, it is not too late to send troops to march south."
Wu Hou said: "In that case, let's make a decision. When we go back today, we will prepare the squadron and the central army will prepare to break up the rear."
At this time, Chai Shengxiang suddenly shouted: "Your Majesty! General Lu of the left army has not yet arrived within ten days, and he cannot regroup yet."
When he said these words, almost half of the people glared at him. Lu Jingyu must have been tired from the army, and he probably took his personal entourage to live in seclusion somewhere. Marquis Wu had promised him that he would be punished, but it was just to block people. How could anyone not know this? Although Lu Jingyu left less than ten days ago, he would definitely not be able to find Cang Yue Gong in those ten days. How could he come back? Only a fool like Chai Shengxiang would scream out. .I also cursed secretly: "Idiot, you want to die so much. I want you to cut off the queen and be killed by the snake people."
There was nothing unusual on Marquis Wu's face, and he said: "General Chai is right. Tomorrow is the tenth day. General Luo's rear army can leave the city from the north gate today, and then go back to the baggage camp. The following are the left and right sides in order. Army, after the center army is broken up, it will be withdrawn by tomorrow evening. If Lu Jingyu does not return to the army tomorrow, he will be punished by death, so don't worry about him. When the generals retreat, they must be in an orderly manner and there should be no chaos. Center Army. Right Army We need to be more vigilant to prevent snake attacks." I just laughed secretly. Wu Hou actually didn't say this. On the surface, he seemed to have listened to Chai Shengxiang's words, but in fact he started to retreat today. There are still 100,000 troops left. There are more than 90,000, plus thousands of craftsmen and women, as well as the women captured by the officers and soldiers, the total is about 110,000 to 20,000. It will take at least a day to withdraw from the city. But Wu Hou said It was very confusing, but it seemed that waiting for Lu Jingyu would be postponed until tomorrow. He had already decided that the right army would leave second to last, which meant that the right army would also be cut off from the rear.
Lu Gongxing suddenly stood up and said, "I would like to inform you, sir, that there are still more than 50,000 citizens in the city. What should we do with these people?"
Chai Shengxiang said: "What should we do? Just kill them. Your Majesty, the last general is willing to ask for orders. We will kill them all within half a day. If we keep them, it will be a waste of food and grass, and we have to worry about them causing trouble."
My heart moved, but I didn't know what to say. From the perspective of preparing for war, killing them was the cleanest thing. It not only extinguished the embers of the Republican Army, but also saved us from having to eat half of our rations in a day. But if I want to be like
Chai Shengxiang talked about killing people without any scruples, but he couldn't say it. After all, those were 50,000 lives.
Wuhou thought for a while, sighed, and said: "It is useless to kill more. From today on, the east gate will be opened for two hours every day to let them escape. The meeting is dismissed."
We all stood up and bowed to Wu Hou. No one said anything. Although we were all tired of the war, we were still very uneasy if we were really about to retreat. What's more, there was still that person stationed outside the south gate.
A group of snakemen. What if the snakemen suddenly attack when we are withdrawing our troops?
After walking out of the central military tent, I said goodbye to Lu Gong. I jumped on my horse and headed back to the west of the city. Just as I got on my horse, I heard someone say: "Is this the new commander of the Dragon Scale Army, General Chu? Please come together."
I turned around and looked, and it was Luan Peng, the acting commander of the right army. He and Chai Shengxiang were riding together, followed by some soldiers. I came in a hurry, and the guards were not assigned to me, so I came alone.
, compared with them, it really looked shabby. I patted the horse, approached them, saluted on the horse and said: "General Luan, General Chai, and the last general Chu Xiuhong have met these two adults."
Although the identity of the Dragon Scale Army is a bit special, they are Shen Xiping's personal soldiers, but after all, they are the two top commanders of the Right Army, and I don't dare to lose etiquette.
Chai Shengxiang looked at me on the side and said, "I heard that Chu Xiuhong of the vanguard battalion was the bravest of the three armies. He was a famous man in front of the king. It turned out that he was just such a young man."
If it had been before, I was afraid that I would have felt that his words were sarcastic. But now I don't think he had any malicious intent. Even in front of Marquis Wu, he would talk nonsense without knowing the current affairs. Naturally, he would not understand the situation of a subordinate like me.
I'll be polite. I said: "General Chai, the last general is just a little lucky."
Luan Peng just smiled slightly and said: "It's good luck once, but not necessarily twice or three times. General Chu is a handsome young man, and he is extraordinary."
He was so complimentary, so I couldn't say much. Just when I was about to say something humble, Chai Shengxiang suddenly said: "Brother Peng, why don't you speak for me? The king is also a bit of a mother-in-law, and those prisoners can be killed, but also
Let them do whatever they want. Cutting the weeds without eradicating the roots will be difficult in the future. Damn Luo Jingwei, he was originally a rear-guard soldier, rushing at the end and escaping first. He must have been transformed from a mouse in his previous life."
Luan Peng just smiled. The rear army's combat effectiveness was poor, but Luo Jingwei was not a weakling. Every time the entire army charged, the rear army could always keep up, all thanks to Luo Jingwei's ability to lead troops. In Chai Shengxiang's opinion,
The rear army, which is mainly responsible for cleaning the battlefield and protecting the supply camp, is really a worthless force.
Luan Peng looked at me and said with a smile: "Your Majesty Junhou already has a solid plan in his mind, so it is inconvenient for our subordinates to make more comments."
Listening to his words, it seemed that it was because I was nearby and it was hard to complain. But Chai Shengxiang ignored everything and said: "Brother Peng, when Mr. Shen was alive, our sword brothers charged into battle and made many achievements under his command. Now he
How could you be so careful once you die? It's not like you anymore."
Luan Peng said: "In order to be a general, there are orders and prohibitions. The ruler has orders, and the people below us just have to obey them."
I couldn't help but want to laugh a little. Chai Shengping was really stupid. Luan Peng seemed to have a very deep city. He always said something in front of me that he must obey orders. Maybe they didn't want to retreat.
Returning to the camp, I said goodbye to the two captains of the right army, and I returned to my own camp. Jin Qianshi was waiting outside the tent. When he saw me, he said: "Commander, you are back. What are your orders?"
"
I jumped off the horse and said: "The Lord has ordered us to prepare for the class the day after tomorrow."
Jin Qianshi said: "Master? What about those snake people outside the city?"
