Eight hundred and thirty first chapter grass (forty)
The atmosphere in Luoyang City was not relaxed by a victory. As the other side of the war, the atmosphere of the Wagang Army was equally solemn.
The 130,000 army is not a small number. How to organize and dispatch and how to make them advance and retreat is a very high requirement for generals.
Li Mi has good military means, but no matter how good the means are, there must be enough generals to achieve it.
When his imperial camp set out, he found that Qin Qiong and the other three had left. Even though Li Mi was always scheming, he couldn't help but feel at a loss for a moment.
Although I am in Wagang, I am incomparable to those old people in Wagang after all.
Besides, it is now during the retreat, and Li Mi must stay in the Central Army to handle affairs, and it is impossible for him to go to command the camps in person.
The troops under Qin Qiong and others all recognized their chief officials, and even the remaining deputy generals spoke, few people listened to them.
This made Li Mi's retreat order more difficult to implement. Although the army retreated under the pressure of the military order, there was no discussion of order at all. There was still riots in the Xiaoguo army's surrendered troops.
Thanks to the timely suppression of the internal army, he cut down several heads in one breath, and only then did the internal army be held down and the riots did not spread further.
Although there is not much time from the beginning to the end, it is still extremely strange and unacceptable for the Wagang Army.
As a team of heroes from the green forest, the Wagang Army did not care much about the outcome, and it was not surprising that the winner and loser in the battle of the Xiangma.
Winning can expand the results, losing can run away, and come back to fight after a while. This is the true nature of the Green Forest.
Li Mi was able to allow the Wagang Army to win one after another and win two major granaries, relying on this kind of maneuverable and flexible tactic.
The retreat was so chaotic that there was almost a large-scale riot, which was the first time.
Sure enough, unlucky things happened one after another.
The army was not far away, and Qin Qiong and others chased after him, bringing news of Sun Changle's capture.
Including Zhai Rang before, the Wagang Army lost two generals in one day, although it would not hurt the muscles and bones, it would be enough to make people feel so painful.
Of course, of course, there is no need to hold anyone accountable, so it is important to gather the troops and continue to retreat first.
As for why Cheng Yaojin was released, what he said to Xu Le, he can't pursue it now.
But as they retreated, Zhai Rang's personal soldiers were also there.
I have no good opinions about Li Mi, but since they are here, I can't say I don't want it or kill it.
Even if Li Mi thought about it, his subordinates would not agree, so he could only accept it with his nose.
Then another news that made him desperate came, the so-called Li Tang army did not exist at all. Shortly after the Wagang army retreated, the army that was not clear about the scale also disappeared.
According to the scout's investigation, the total number of the troops would not exceed 100. They just dragged branches and ran back and forth to cover up the scale, and then made a move towards Jinyong City.
Once such means are used on the battlefield, it means that there is actually not much frontal force.
The Li family reinforcements were from beginning to end, and they were the hundreds of armored cavalry.
The 130,000 army of Wagang was defeated and retreated by hundreds of cavalry. If this was spread, what would the many heroes in the army have to face?
Even if you don’t mention face, the loss in materials alone will not be in the decimal place.
Because the incident was rushed, the troops retreated according to the drum roster and had no time to pack up.
A large number of supplies, food and even tents were thrown on the front line of Mangshan.
For the Green Forest Army, this result is unacceptable.
After all, the people of Green Forest emphasize that thieves do not leave empty-handed. No matter what the outcome is, their own belongings must be preserved.
In the past, the Wagang Army had not been defeated, but even if it was defeated, it was still undefeated. All money, food and materials could be taken away. Even if it could not be taken away, it would be burned on the spot. In short, it would not allow the other party to get a cheaper price.
It is precisely because of this that the Wagang Army has become a headache for all opponents.
Fighting with them is like a rich man fighting with a beggar. If you win, you will have no benefit and you will suffer even more losses.
The Wagang Army also relied on this characteristic to make its name and became an existence that made the princes and powerful people from all sides frightened.
This defeat is unprecedented in terms of scale and result, not to mention that the defeat is so cowardly that it makes these Green Forest heroes even more difficult to accept.
Everyone was already trying to get back to Jinyong City and had a fight with Li Yuan’s army.
The loss here is ten times more to Li Yuan.
Now, I haven’t got anything and I have paid so much money. How can I fight this way?
The army was very quiet along the way, not because of strict military discipline and orderly actions, but just simply a low morale.
Li Mi didn't say anything, but she felt like a mirror in her heart, but she had no choice.
Everyone looked at him, as if full of ridicule, ridiculing him for being a useless fool.
After learning that Luoyang is weak and strong, Li Mi could turn his lead and attack Luoyang again, but it is obviously not feasible now.
The morale is low and the soldiers are not willing to fight. If the army is turned back at this time, it will not only confirm the impression that the main general is incompetent and cannot fight and move forward, but will also make the three armies feel disgusted and think that the main general is making jokes about himself.
In the event of a mutiny or a roar, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Army is like a weapon. Although it can kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, it may also hurt yourself.
The scale depends entirely on your own grasp.
The more soldiers and horses, the higher the requirements for the main general. In addition to having enough scheduling methods, how to grasp people's hearts and take advantage of the situation is also part of it.
The army has reached this point, which is also a huge test for the general.
Even though Li Mi is extraordinary, she dare not be careless at this time.
From the speed of the marching, route to the food supply, you have to take good care of it, for fear that some place will not be taken care of, which will lead to a riot that will turn into a disaster.
The bright moon is in the sky and the night is deeper, and the army of Wagang is spread all over the mountains and fields.
Since most of the tents were lost on the Mangshan battlefield, there was no time to prepare for it for a while, so more than 70% of the Wagang army could only sleep in the wilderness tonight.
At this time, Li Mi did not dare to put on airs anymore, and the imperial tent did not dare to leave. Instead, like other soldiers, he wrapped his battle robes and fell asleep in the forest.
At this time, he naturally couldn't sleep. He just closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, listened to the movements around him, and held the hilt of the knife tightly with his hands.
If anyone shouts and scolds, he can jump up and issue orders to stabilize people's hearts as soon as possible.
I will hold on for another day and wait until tomorrow to arrive at my own city, so I will feel at ease.
Li Mi said in her heart that she prayed to the gods and Buddhas all over the sky that she could spend the night safely.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes and almost drew his sword out of the sheath! It turned out that just as he was concentrating on thinking, there were sounds of footsteps coming from the forest, and the direction was exactly where he was.
However, before Li Mi draws his sword, he hears Xu Shiji's voice: "Lord."
It turns out it's my own person.
Li Mi finally breathed a sigh of relief. Xu Shiji was reliable and had a decent personality, so he would not cause trouble.
He must have had a serious matter when he came, so he quickly stood up and greeted Xu Shiji. Xu Shiji saluted Li Mi, and then whispered: "I have some secrets to report to Mr. Wei, so I'll forgive me for offense."
"What's this called?
We are our own brothers, so we can speak at any time. Do we still need to forgive our sins?"
Li Mi knew that he had offended Xu Shiji during the day and also offended the Wagang generals, so he was extremely magnanimous at this time to repair the relationship.
He stepped forward and grabbed Xu Shiji's arm: "It's a pity that there is no good wine at hand, otherwise he would have to drink it.
Let's go find Yao Jin, Shu Bao and the others.
Fortunately, we have meat, so we look for them to have a tooth sacrifice!”
Xu Shiji did not move, but said seriously: "Duke Wei, I really have important things to talk about."
"What's the matter?"
"How to defeat Xu Le, defeat Xuanjia Cavalry, and even defeat the Tang army's plan to obtain Luoyang."
Under the night, Xu Shiji's eyes were firm and his tone was neither anxious nor impatient, but his words were sonorous, and he seemed confident.
Li Mi remembered that the last time Xu Shiji talked to him with this attitude was before the battle of the Xiaoguo Army in Wagang.
After a long talk overnight, the Xiaoguo Army became a prisoner of Wagang. Could it be that the old story can be repeated this time?
