Chapter 455 Poor Hu Tianbao didn't even scream, he died on the spot, the two corpses were separated for a long time, scarlet blood and red and white internal organs flowed all over the ground.
Their side is just the tip of the iceberg, and the situation of the other Mo soldiers who entered the camp is not much better.
After the 500 Mozambican naval army led by Hu Tianbao entered the camp, it was really as if a stone had sunk into the sea, and there was no return, and there was no news.
Gao Hang and the others, who were standing on the ship waiting for the news, waited left and left and did not see a reply, and they were all anxious.
After waiting for almost half an hour, there was still no sound in the camp, and there was no brother who went in to report back, and General Mo was really impatient to wait, strode to Gao Hang's approach, and intervened to salute: "General, General Hu has been there for a long time, if there is an ambush, it should have been fought a long time ago, it should not be as silent as now, the last general wants to bring some brothers in to see what is going on."
When Gao Hang heard this, he smiled, but he smiled bitterly, and said: "You also said that Tianbao has been in for a long time, and he should have reported the situation a long time ago, but he didn't come out now, what did you say would happen?"
"Could it be" Hearing Gao Hang's reminder, General Mo's face suddenly changed, and he stammered: "Could it be that General Hu has already finished speaking" He didn't dare to finish the rest of the words.
"In the enemy camp, there must be deception, if the general expected it is good, Tianbao is now more than lucky."
Gao Hang narrowed his eyes, stared at the camp in front of him, and sighed faintly in his heart.
It can make the five hundred brothers disappear silently, and not even the slightest sound of fighting can be heard, and the ambush of the enemy army in the rear camp can be seen, and it is right that the main army of his own side did not enter rashly, but it is a pity that Tianbao and the lives of the five hundred brothers are lost.
At this time, when people looked at the camp of the Zhenjiang Water Division, they no longer felt weird, but felt terrifying.
In their eyes, the quiet camp seemed to turn into a giant beast, and the wide open camp gate was like the blood basin of the giant beast's mouth, and walking in it was equivalent to walking into hell.
Gao Hang looked at the people around him, and saw that people's faces were getting uglier and uglier than the other, he secretly shook his head, this battle could not continue.
He took a deep breath and said weakly: "Wait a little longer, if Tianbao and his brothers still don't come out in another moment, our army will temporarily withdraw its troops."
At this time, Gao Hang no longer had any hope for the survival of Hu Tianbao and others, and the reason why he had to wait was just hoping for a miracle.
It's a pity that miracles don't happen often, Hu Tianbao and the 500 sailors never returned from the camp, and in the end, Gao Hang had no choice but to give an order, the whole army retreated, and gave up attacking the camp.
Tang Yin successfully scared Gao Hang away with an empty city plan, which is also conditional.
First of all, Gao Hang had a preconceived concept of the strength of the Feng Army, and learned from the mouths of the eighth and ninth corps commanders that the strength of the Feng Army was above 100,000, and so many troops were known for their courage and good fighting, and it should be more than enough to resist the 200,000 Central Army commanded by Li Jin, and there was definitely still spare strength to set up an ambush in the rear camp.
Secondly, it is too strange that Hu Tianbao and the five hundred Mo soldiers have gone and not returned, so strange that it is chilling, and it also makes people lose the desire to fight again.
These two points are the reasons why Gao Hang decisively gave up the strong attack.
Gao Hang's troops retreated, so that the Feng army had no worries, and could deal with the main force of the Mo army in front wholeheartedly, but in the same way, Gao Hang's retreat also made Li Jin more confident.
Gao Hang's reply to Li Jin was that the Feng army had an ambush in the rear camp, and it was difficult for him to command the naval army to win the attack, and Li Jin understood from his reply that the Feng army still had a large number of troops in the camp to mobilize, and he did not use all his strength to resist his own side.
Since he can't break through the camp with his current strength, is it necessary for him to fight again Not long after Gao Hang withdrew his troops, Li Jin also gave up the idea of attacking and ordered the whole army to stop attacking and retreat.
Gao Hangzhong's plan and choice to withdraw from the army seemed to be just a decision-making choice for a local battle, but in fact, it affected the pattern and progress of the entire war, and also gave the more than 30,000 Feng troops led by Tang Yin a chance to breathe.
If Li Jin can really make up his mind and resolutely not retreat, and choose to fight to the death with the Feng army, and fight to the death, then no matter how strong the battalion defense of the Zhenjiang Water Division is, it will be too difficult to resist 200,000 with 30,000.
Gao Hang and Li Jin's successive retreats made the struggling Feng army breathe a sigh of relief, and the next battle loss statistics made Tang Yin and his generals unhappy with the temporary victory in front of them.
After a battle, the Mo army suffered heavy casualties, but the wind army also paid a heavy price, with more than 10,000 casualties, and the wounded soldiers counted here are only the seriously wounded who can not fight again in a short time, if the minor injuries are also counted, the casualties of the wind army will be more than half.
Now the Feng Army's combatable troops have been sharply reduced to about 20,000, whether they can withstand the next round of strong attacks of the Mo Army, no one dares to guarantee, now people's only hope is pinned on their own water army, the key to this victory is also whether the Feng State Water Army can send the backup force across Zhenjiang in time.
Sun Bing and Xu Yan, the commanders of the Feng Guo Water Army, had already received Tang Yin's order, asking the two of them to transport the backup across the river within two days no matter what.
They were at a loss for what to do.
At this time, there were more than 100 ships of the Feng Army, most of which were small and medium-sized ships, and there were also some large ships of the Mozambican army, while the ships of the Mozambican army had 180 large ships, all of which were large ships, and the overall combat power of the two sides was not at the same level at all.
Under normal circumstances, it is already difficult to be sure of winning a water war, and now it is necessary to transport infantry, and in the case of loading a large number of infantry, the mobility and flexibility of the ships will be greatly weakened Sun Bing and Xu Yan didn't think that now was a good time to start a decisive battle with the Mozambican naval army, but the king's order could not be disobeyed, so the two really had no choice but to ask Xiao Muqing and Qing Yu to discuss and ask them how to fight this battle.
Xiao Muqing and Qing Yu are not generals of the navy, but they are the top-level commanders, and the principles of land warfare and water warfare are the same, Sun Bing and Xu Yan feel that it is not wrong to ask the two of them for advice.
When they met, Sun Bing and Xu Yanbi bowed to the ground respectfully, and then took out the will sent by Tang Yin and handed it to Xiao Muqing and Qing Yu for a look, and at the same time, the two analyzed the current situation and explained the difficulties on their side.
Listening to the two of them finish saying a word, Xiao Muqing sneered, with a sense of mockery, and said: "Ben Shuai thinks that the two of you must fight. ” Sun Bing and Xu Yan swallowed their saliva, glanced at each other, and then said to Xiao Muqing: "Xiao Shuai, if you go to war now, you are in danger of being wiped out."
Xiao Muqing shrugged his shoulders and said, "The king's will has been made very clear, and disobedience is a capital crime.
If you go to war, you will die, if you don't fight, you will die, anyway, it is better to die vigorously on the battlefield, at least there will be a place for two people in the Hall of Heroes. ” His words made Sun Bing and Xu Yan's hearts cold, it was true to say so, but if they could survive, who would want to die, if everyone died, what was the use of leaving a reputation of loyalty to the country The identities and status of the two of them are very different from Xiao Muqing, so naturally they don't dare to blame Xiao Muqing, the two of them turned their eyes, and looked at Qing Yu in unison, and asked, "General Qing Yu has a good plan" Qing Yu also smiled, first looked at Xiao Muqing, and then said slowly: "I also agree with General Xiao's statement, now the two generals must follow the king's will and go out of the camp to fight the enemy." ” "But," Sun and Xu were about to speak, when Qing Yu said again: "If the two generals feel that it is in the way of bringing infantry brothers, they can also leave it alone, and fight the enemy first, as long as they can defeat the enemy army, and then transport the infantry brothers across the river without hindrance." ” "Hehe" Sun Bing and Xu Yan smiled dryly, but they were muttering in their hearts, you said it so lightly, as if we can defeat the Mozambican naval army as soon as we go out into battle, there are nearly 200 ships on our side, and there are only 100 on our side, they are all large ships, and we are all small and medium-sized ships, how can we win the battle, how can we defeat the Mozambican naval army The two of them had a smile on their faces, but their faces were as pale as paper, which made people uncomfortable and awkward to watch.
Xiao Muqing got up and said: "Okay, you two can choose to fight in the middle of the night tomorrow, and take advantage of the night to sneak attack the Mozambican naval army, the enemy is strong and I am weak, the Mozambican naval army will not be prepared for our sneak attack, as long as the two of you lead the army fast enough, you will be able to kill the enemy by surprise." ” Without waiting for the two of them to reply, Xiao Muqing had already walked out, and before leaving the camp, he turned around and added: "Ben Shuai blessed you two to succeed" Seeing that Xiao Muqing was gone, Qing Yu also stood up and said, "Two generals, what General Xiao said is very true, the two of you should prepare well and leave in the next place."
After saying that, he also left, leaving Sun Bing and Xu Yan who were sitting there in a daze.
Xiao Muqing left first, but when he left the camp, he didn't leave immediately, as if he knew that Qing Yu would follow out.
The latter walked out of the camp tent and saw Xiao Muqing standing aside, and was not surprised at all, and walked forward and walked side by side with Xiao Muqing.
On the way, Qing Yu smiled and asked, "General Xiao must have thought of a countermeasure."
Xiao Muqing shrugged his shoulders and said, "General Qingyu will talk about it." ” "Under the guise of the two generals Sun and Xu, I will smuggle into Linzhuang again."
Qing Yu said with an understated smile.
A hint of surprise flashed on Xiao Muqing's face, but it quickly returned to normal, and a smile finally appeared on his face, and he muttered: "It turns out that General Qingyu also thought of it":
