Chapter Five Hundred and Two: Jia Xu on Baiqi
Chapter 502: Jia Xu on Bai Qi
"General, the Qin army has retreated!" Li Jing was playing chess with Jia Xu in the Deng army camp in Jianshan. Li Siwen walked up to the two and said, before the war started, Li Jing handed over most of the troops and horses of Li Siwen to Luo Yi to be responsible for building the first line of defense, and the remaining small number of troops were used to protect the central army.
"Oh? I retreated quite early today!" Li Jing had just given up a son and said with a smile: "The Qin army used to fight fiercely until dusk. Now, just after noon, the Qin army retreated. It seems that Bai Qi is still self-aware."
"This is normal. If Luo Yi is responsible for the first line of defense, Bai Qi will definitely continue to attack fiercely. After all, Luo Yi's troops have fought fiercely for many days, and suffered heavy casualties. If the Qin army had made a concerted effort, it might not take long to break through. However, now Yang Lin's troops have replaced Luo Yi's troops, and Yang Lin's troops are intact. The Qin army has been fighting hard for many days and is already exhausted. Even if the troops are far superior to Yang Lin's troops, it will be difficult to break through. It can only increase casualties. If Bai Qi has not even seen through this, then he will be a famous general in the world." Jia Xu continued with a smile on his face.
Li Jing nodded and said, "It's better to retreat. The Qin army attacked fiercely for many days. Although Luo Yi's troops fought to the death, some of the fortifications were seriously damaged. With this breathing opportunity, Yang Lin also gave Yang Lin the opportunity to repair the fortifications. This is beneficial to our army's subsequent battle. By the way, Siwen, how is the situation after Luo Yi comes back?"
Li Jing also heard about Luo Yi's state on the front line, and he was already red in his eyes. With too many soldiers and horses, Luo Yi completely lost his innocence. As a general in command, he repeatedly charged forward. Although this greatly boosted morale, this behavior was undesirable in Li Jing's opinion. After all, as a general in command, if Luo Yi had a chance, the entire defense line would collapse in an instant. Given Luo Yi's crazy state, Li Jing finally asked Yang Lin to replace him.
Li Siwen replied: "After General Luo came back, he went to find military medical injuries as soon as possible. After all, he had been fighting hard for many days, and General Luo also had many injuries on his body. However, after General Luo came back, he was very silent and said nothing."
"Oh..." Li Jing sighed after hearing this and said, "The soldiers and horses under Luo Yi were brought out by Luo Yi, and now they are almost wiped out. I believe Luo Yi feels uncomfortable. Siwen, go and comfort him well, so that he won't get stuck."
"Here!" Li Siwen responded and left.
After Li Siwen left, Li Jing asked Jia Xu: "Military advisor, the Qin army's offensive has become more and more fierce in recent days. Now our reinforcements are getting closer and closer. Even if the Qin army can take down Jianshan before our reinforcements arrive, what will Bai Qi use to fight against our 100,000 reinforcements? What was Bai Qi thinking in his heart? I really couldn't see through it. I wonder if the military advisor can give some advice?"
The situation of the two armies is now very obvious. If the Qin army continues to fight like this, even if it can break through Jianshan and wipe out the Tianwu Guard, it will inevitably suffer heavy losses. Jie Shi, what would Bai Qi use to fight Chang Yuchun's 100,000 troops?
Jia Xu smiled and said, "Bai Qi's actions are nothing more than two reasons. First, Bai Qi is confident. He concluded that General Chang Yuchun's troops could not even support Jianshan in a short period of time. Second, Bai Qi fell into a crazy state. He was red in his eyes and began to ignore it."
"What did the military advisor think that prompted Bai Qi to do this?" Li Jing asked again.
Jia Xu thought for a while and said, "I think there are both. First, according to the spy, Bai Qi had distributed tens of thousands of troops to advance eastward for more than ten days ago. Although his purpose was unknown, this approach was nothing more than to block General Chang Yuchun's troops in the middle, so that reinforcements could not reinforce Jianshan. I believe Bai Qi believed that the partial division he sent had completed his explanation and intercepted General Chang Yuchun's troops in the middle."
Li Jing nodded and said, "It makes sense, but if this is true, I am not worried at all. General Chang Yuchun has been through battle formations for a long time and has 100,000 people under his command. As long as the Qin army cannot occupy the important land in advance, it will only be annihilated by General Chang. Even if he occupy the important land, the Qin army without reinforcements and logistics will not last long."
"The general said so much, and I think so. The second reason is that Bai Qi has never lost a single defeat since his debut. Even as strong as Zhao Xin in the past, Bai Qi can draw and retreat unstoppable in front of the Zhao army, which is a weak opponent. However, facing the general, Bai Qi is repeatedly blocked and unable to advance in an instant. This is a big blow to Bai Qi. In addition, according to the returns of the secret spies in Chang'an City, Bai Qi's relationship with the King of Qin and a group of veteran generals in the army is deteriorating. It can be seen that Bai Qi's departure from Bashu this time was a gamble. Once it fails, Bai Qi's final outcome may not be much better than his ancestor Bai Qi, so Bai Qi cannot be defeated, and even if he returns without success, it is not something that Bai Qi can accept." Jia Xu continued to analyze.
"If that is true, the Qin army's offensive will become more and more powerful next time. The combat power of the Qin army is not comparable to that of our Tianwu Guard. Even if there is a defense line in Jianshan, it cannot be foolproof. It seems that relying on Yang Lin's troops alone is not possible. Let's do this. Tomorrow, Fu Youde's troops will be together to resist the Qin army, and they will definitely support General Chang. In addition, according to the angels in Wancheng, in addition to the Jinwu Guard and Longwu Guard, Wudang Guard located in the south center will also go north to reinforce. According to time, Wudang Guard should be about to arrive in Chengdu and send people to Chengdu. If Wudang Guard has arrived, please ask them to go for reinforcements quickly." Li Jing thought for a while and said.
Since Bai Qi was already in a state of madness, Li Jing no longer had any reservations and put all his belongings on it. As long as he persisted until Chang Yuchun came, the end of Bai Qi and the Qin army would come.
Outside Jianshan, the Qin army camp and the central tent, Bai Qi and the Qin army generals all looked tired. Bai Chen reported to Bai Qihui today: "Taiwei, our army suffered more than 3,000 casualties today, plus the casualties a few days ago, in just a few days, the number of casualties in our army was close to 30,000."
"Hahaha!" After hearing Bai Chen's words, Bai Qi smiled at Tianchang and said, "I miss me, Bai Qi, have never been defeated since my debut. Even when facing Zhao Xin's Changsheng army, this lieutenant has never suffered such a big loss. What a Li Jing, no wonder he can become one of the sixteen generals of the Deng Kingdom's 16 Guards. It should not be underestimated. I didn't expect that Deng Kingdom has such a person besides Yue Fei."
"Taiwei, since the war started, our army has lost 20% of its troops, but the fur called Jianshan can be encountered, and the army and horses have been exhausted. The general thought it would be better to retreat to Jiameng Pass for the time being and rest. After reorganizing his strength, he will attack Jianshan again?" At this time, General Wei Song suggested to Bai Qi.
After hearing this, Bai Qi looked at Wei Song coldly and said lightly: "General Wei, do you know that this Taiwei can completely punish you for shaking the morale of the army?"
"The Taiwei Mingjian, the last general has no other intentions. He just feels that our army has been fighting hard for many days, and the army and horses are exhausted and need rest in urgent need of rest. It has no intention of shaking the morale of the army!" Hearing Bai Qi's words, Wei Song was so scared that he hurried to Bai Qi, knelt down on one knee, and said.
"Get up!" Bai Qi saw that he was frightened by Wei Song, so he waved his hand and signaled Wei Song to get up, and then said: "General Wei is naturally clear about the meaning of the Taiwei, but the two armies are in a fight, and then they are declining, and then exhausted. Now our army is exhausted. Isn't the Deng army also on the verge of collapse? Our army is all elite soldiers who have been through the battlefield for a long time, and most of the Deng army are new recruits who have never been on the battlefield. If even elite soldiers like our army are difficult to support, let alone new recruits like Deng army? As long as our army urgently needs to strengthen its offensive, this Taiwei believes that our army will be able to break through Jianshan soon."
"The last general is stupid and does not understand the profound meaning of the Taiwei. I would like to ask the Taiwei to punish him!" After Bai Qi said this, Wei Song also felt that his words just now were a bit rash.
"It's okay, General Wei will understand, but like these words just now, I can't say them anymore!" Bai Qi was very satisfied with Wei Song's attitude, nodded, and said.
"The last one understands!" Wei Song responded, and then retreated to his position.
After Wei Song retreated, Bai Qi said to everyone: "Continue to attack fiercely tomorrow. I don't believe that Deng Jun can really compete with my Great Qin Lion. Since Li Jing is stubborn, then I will let this Jianshan become his bone burial place!"
"Here!" everyone responded in unison.
In the next few days, the Qin army continued to launch a fierce attack on the Jianshan defense line, but at this time, in addition to Yang Lin's troops, there was also Fu Youde's troops, which were stronger than the Luo Yi troops before. Therefore, for several consecutive days, the Qin army returned in vain, and instead lost a lot of troops, which made Bai Qi very angry.
On March 15, outside Chengdu City, a group of tens of thousands of Deng troops appeared here. Zhuge Liang, the governor of the Shuzhong Road of Deng Kingdom, personally went out to greet him. This army was the Wudangwei who went north to support him.
Wudangwei was in charge of Nanzhong, the farthest from Wancheng, so when we got the news, Deng and Qin had already confronted each other in Jianshan. Fortunately, we were not too far from Nanzhong. Wudangwei finally arrived in Chengdu after ten days of urgent marching.
"Have you met the governor Zhuge!" The generals of Wudangwei, led by General Deng Zhong, bowed to Zhuge Liang who came to greet him.
Deng's military and political affairs were not in line with each other. According to the rank, Yidao and Yiwei General were of the same level. Therefore, when faced with Deng Zhong's salute, Zhuge Liang did not dare to neglect and quickly replied, "I have met General Deng, and I have met you all!" Then he looked at Su Yun again.
After saying hello to Su Yun, Zhuge Liang said to Deng Zhong again: "Gen. Deng has come here for a long time. I have already selected a camp for Wudangwei in Chengdu. After settling down, I will hold a banquet at the governor's office to welcome the generals, and at the same time discuss the matter of sending troops."
