Chapter 605: Night Breaks the Qin Army Camp
Chapter 605: Breaking the Qin Army Camp at night
As the sun gradually fell, Luo Yi and Yang Lin finally breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, they had to wait until the sun set, and finally completed Li Jing's military order and could withdraw the troops. The moment the sun was completely set, Luo Yi and Yang Lin issued an order to withdraw the troops at the same time. However, they did not retreat too far. After all, the entire Tianwu Guard was squeezed into the Baoxie Road, and they could not retreat much even if they wanted to retreat.
After collecting the troops, Luo Yi asked the General of the Central Army who was responsible for counting the casualties: "Ma Guang, what happened to our army's casualties?"
Ma Guang replied: "Return to General, our army has 10,000 elite soldiers. More than 2,000 people have been killed in battle, and nearly 3,000 people have been injured. There are probably less than 5,000 people who can continue to fight, and the casualties of General Yang's soldiers and horses are probably the same."
"How to fight this battle? It's only the first day, half of the casualties have passed. If we fight again tomorrow, all our soldiers will be gone." After hearing the casualties, Luo Yi couldn't help but complain to Yang Lin.
Yang Lin's face was not very good either. Luo Yi's soldiers were killed or killed, and the soldiers in his hands would not be better. However, Yang Lin was much more rational than Luo Yi. He knew that it would be useless to complain now. It would be better to think about how to persuade Li Jing. He could not continue to fight like this. Otherwise, before he could break through the Qin army camp, the entire army would be wiped out.
At this time, Li Jing brought Fu Youde, Li Siwen, two generals, military advisor Jia Xu, and the personal guard Li Rui.
As soon as he arrived in front of Luo Yi and Yang Lin, Li Jing asked: "General Luo, General Yang, how were the soldiers injured or killed?"
Luo Yi also had quite a complaint about Li Jing at this time, so he didn't say anything. Seeing this, Yang Lin replied: "Go back to the general, in today's battle, more than half of the soldiers under General Luo Yi's command were injured and killed, but he was not able to face too much threat to the Qin army."
In today's battle, the Deng army desperately launched an attack on the Qin army's camp. Although the offensive was very fierce, the Qin army's bows and arrows seemed to be worthless. The arrow rain flew in waves. The Deng army had no way to get close to the Qin army's camp, so the casualties of the Qin army were almost negligible. Even if there were, it was just a little unlucky person who was accidentally injured by the hawkish arrow.
After hearing this, Li Jing's face was moved and said, "The casualties are so great! But don't worry, the soldiers are fighting bloody battles for the Da Deng. After the troops return to the court, they will personally ask for credit from the General General's Office for the soldiers. As for the organization under the two generals, they will complete the two generals in the future."
"The generals and soldiers fought for the great Deng and died as much as possible. As for pensions, the court will not be short. But we can't continue to fight like this. The Qin army's bows and arrows are endless, and the Baoxi Road is narrow, which is not suitable for the army to carry out. If there is another blind impact, it will only increase casualties." Yang Lin said.
Li Jing nodded and said, "I know, don't worry, it's time to break the Qin army camp tonight!"
Of course, Li Jing would not have such a blind attack. If he did this, even if he could break through the Qin army camp in the end, there would not be a few people left in the 50,000 Tianwu Guards. In this way, it would be great not to be punished by military law. The reason why he was hit at all costs today is just for the attack tonight.
"Oh? I wonder what good general has?" Yang Lin's eyes lit up when he heard this. If he could break through the Qin army camp tonight, no matter how much casualties were today, it would be worth it. As soon as Li Jing said this, even Luo Yi, who had not spoken, turned his attention to him.
"For specifics, let the military advisor talk to you!" Li Jing did not answer Yang Lin, but asked Jia Xu to explain.
Upon hearing this, Jia Xu told everyone about the strategy he discussed with Li Jing. When everyone heard this, they frowned.
"General, military advisor, isn't this not good? After the war, cleaning up the corpses of soldiers who died in battle is the last respect for the soldiers. The soldiers fought for the country. We should not be so blasphemous after their death!" Yang Lin did not agree with this. After the war, the two sides cleaned up the corpses of soldiers who died in battle, and they were not allowed to launch an offensive. This is not only to better collect the corpses of soldiers who died in battle, but also the last respect for the soldiers who died in battle. Jia Xu's plan now is undoubtedly blasphemous against soldiers who died in battle.
Jia Xu smiled and said, "General Yang is very pleased that he can attach so much importance to the soldiers. But has General Yang ever thought about why we came to Baoxie Road? Isn't it just to break into Guanzhong and to pacify the troubled times? The soldiers fought bloody battles to win such an opportunity for us. If they missed it like this, wouldn't they be sorry for the soldiers who died in battle? And I believe that if the soldiers knew about it, they would support us."
Yang Lin was silent when he heard this. Although this approach was very disgusting, it has to be said that this approach is the best way to quickly break through the Qin army camp. If it continues to drag on it, it will only cause greater casualties.
"General Yang, the military advisor is right. Those who accomplish great things will be unyielding. As long as they can break through the Qin army camp, I believe the soldiers will not blame us." Luo Yi, who had not spoken on the side, also persuaded Yang Lin at this time. After all, if they could break through the Qin army camp tonight, their casualties would be greatly reduced.
"Okay, as long as you can break through the Qin army camp as soon as possible, I believe the soldiers will be relieved. If you do the specific thing, please ask the general and military advisor to give instructions. The last general will definitely complete the task." Yang Lin gritted his teeth and said.
Jia Xu and Li Jing smiled at each other and dealt with Yang Lin. Then the next step would be easier. The four generals of Tianwu Guard were persuaded by Jia Xu long ago. Luo Yi, Li Jing and Jia Xu knew very well that he was a person. As long as he could achieve his goal, Luo Yi would not care about means. Only Yang Lin is more upright and has principles in his work, but sometimes he is too stubborn, so it is not easy to convince Yang Lin.
Of course, as the general of Tianwu Guard, if Li Jing was determined to do this, Yang Lin would also do it, but this would lead to Yang Lin's disheartening and not conducive to the unity of the army. Therefore, Jia Xu would come forward to persuade Yang Lin. Fortunately, Yang Lin was not so stubborn.
After convinced Yang Lin, Li Jing and Jia Xu arranged the next specific matters.
After nightfall, Yang Lin and Luo Yi took people to clean up the bodies of the soldiers who died in battle. In order not to let the Qin army notice their intentions, they only brought a few people at the beginning, while the others were lurking under the leadership of Fu Youde and Li Siwen, waiting for Li Jing's military order.
Gu Yun
Geng Yue had not yet rested in the Qin army camp and the central tent. Somehow, Geng Yue had an unknown premonition, but couldn't say what he felt. So Geng Yue called General Yuan Bupo and asked, "General Yuan, I wonder what happened to Deng's army tonight?"
Yuan Bupo replied: "Return to General, Deng Jun is now collecting the bodies of soldiers who died in battle tonight, and there is no abnormal movement."
Geng Yue frowned when he heard this. It was not that there was anything wrong with Deng's army cleaning up the bodies of soldiers who died in battle. But Geng Yue felt in his heart that something was going to happen. So he said, "Send the order and the whole army is on guard and don't take it lightly. I have a premonition that Deng's army may attack tonight."
"General, the Deng army suffered at least 10,000 casualties in today's battle. It was already very damaged and its morale was low. Even if it launched another offensive, it would have to wait until tomorrow. Nothing should happen tonight." Yuan Bupo said. In his opinion, in today's battle, the Deng army suffered heavy casualties and was low in morale. It had not yet recovered. Even if it was to fight, it would be until dawn.
Geng Yue said: "After that being said, I always feel that Deng Jun is not that simple, so it is better to be careful and send the order!"
"Here!" Although Yuan Bupo didn't think Deng Jun would do anything tonight, since Geng Yue was so persistent, he had to obey and prepared to go and give orders.
At this time, a messenger stumbled in and said anxiously: "General, something is wrong. Deng's army attacked our army's camp at night!"
"What!" Geng Yue and Yuan Bupo were shocked when they heard this. Unexpectedly, just as they thought of this level, Deng's offensive arrived as expected.
"Tell me quickly, what's the situation of the battle ahead?" Geng Yue asked anxiously.
The messenger replied: "Return to the general, the attack of Deng's army was too sudden. Our army had no preparations at all. The archers were not in place. Deng's army attacked the camp gate. Our army could only barely resist. Please send reinforcements as soon as possible!"
Geng Yue suddenly felt something was wrong when he heard this and said to Yuan Bupo on the side: "General Yuan, it's not appropriate to go to the rescue. You must repel Deng's army no matter what, and the camp must not be in trouble!"
"Here!"
Yuan Bupo also realized that something was wrong, so he took the order without hesitation.
After Yuan Bupo left, Geng Yue couldn't sit still and took his personal guard to supervise the battle himself.
At this time, the battle situation was very fierce. When the Deng army came to clean up the corpses of the soldiers who died in battle, the Qin army did not pay too much attention. First, the Deng army was not large in number. Second, after the war, cleaning up the corpses of the soldiers who died in battle, and not launching an offensive, was already considered a number of unspoken rules on the battlefield, so the Qin army did not pay too much attention. Just when the Qin army was relaxed, the Deng army suddenly launched an attack. Before the Qin army's archers were in place, the Deng army rushed to the Qin army's camp. Various siege equipment rushed forward and instantly suppressed the Qin army.
Luo Yi and Yang Lin, who had been furious for a day, finally found a place to vent their vent. They each rushed to the front with their own troops. When Yuan Bupo led reinforcements, the gate of the Qin army's camp had been broken by the Deng army. The Qin army had to fight and retreat, praying that the reinforcements could arrive early. Yuan Bupo's arrival finally curbed the Deng army's offensive and gradually gained the upper hand.
But for the sake of the attack tonight, Li Jing and Jia Xu prepared for so long, how could they give up easily? Seeing that with Yuan Bupo's arrival, Yang Lin and Luo Yi, who had originally had the upper hand, gradually fell into a disadvantage, Li Jing couldn't sit still and quickly sent Fu Youde and Li Siwen.
The four generals of Tianwu Guard joined forces, and the Qin army could not resist at all. In a blink of an eye, the Deng army broke through the front camp of the Qin army and advanced towards the central army.
Seeing that the army entered, Li Jing had no reservations, so he asked the personal guard commander Li Rui to lead the last ten thousand elite troops to enter, and the Qin army's defense was instantly broken.
At this time, Geng Yue also brought his personal guards to the front camp. Seeing almost all the lost front camps, Geng Yue was shocked. He never thought that the camp, which was still solid during the day, was captured by the Deng army in a blink of an eye.
Geng Yue didn't have time to think so much, so he found Yuan Bupo as soon as possible and asked loudly: "General Yuan, what's the situation of the battle? Can you defeat Deng's army?"
Yuan Bubao said with a sad face: "General, the Deng army's offensive is too fierce, and our army has no preparations and cannot stop it at all. Now the front battalion has been lost. Deng army is advancing towards the central army step by step. It will soon be killed in the central army camp. This place cannot be kept for a long time. Please make a decision earlier!"
Geng Yue was immediately embarrassed. He didn't expect that the situation was so bad that he could not defend it anymore. However, Geng Yue was also a decisive person. After thinking about it, he said, "General Yuan, since the camp cannot be defended, there is no need for us to continue fighting with Deng's army here. Please quickly gather the troops and retreat to Mei County with the general."
"Here!" Yuan Bupo responded, and then sent people to gather the troops. But now the entire Qin army camp is in chaos. How easy is it to gather troops? Yuan Bupo finally gathered more than 10,000 people, but the Deng army was about to kill him. There was no time to gather troops. Seeing this, Geng Yue decisively gave up the remaining troops and evacuated at the fastest speed with more than 10,000 troops gathered. When Deng's army reached the central army, Geng Yue and Yuan Bupo had already run away.
