Chapter 337: To Withdraw or Not to Withdraw?


"What" Yao Yizhong had just received a report that a fleet of Han troops had appeared in the Yellow River, estimated to be between six hundred and seven hundred, all of which were large ships equipped with fierce long-range attack equipment such as bed crossbows.

Today, the Qiang troops had just broken through the second line of defense of the Han army's camp, only about three miles away from Liu Yan's Chinese army, but the Han army appeared on the Yellow River, which made Yao Yizhong's heart extremely entangled.

From the day of the general attack, the Qiang troops had been attacking for three days, and the casualties they had paid were definitely more than 60,000, and they were already extremely close to their combat objectives.

"You can't withdraw your troops."

"Yes, we are already about to defeat the enemy army, and if we attack again, we can capture Liu Yan alive or alive."

"Lord, we have paid such a heavy price and cannot retreat" Yao Yizhong did not say that he wanted to withdraw the army, but he had first mentioned that once the Han fleet appeared on the Yellow River, it would be withdrawn, and only then did the leaders of the Qiang tribes and the generals of Shijie Zhao come to dissuade them.

The situation on the main battlefield was very good for the Qiang troops, and although the outer battlefield was tragic, it finally blocked the Han troops coming from both sides.

If you count the blocking forces on the periphery, Yao Yizhong has lost more than 140,000 troops, of which 70,000 are killed in battle, and the rest are disabled or injured in combat.

The wounded and dead will be divided in half, mainly because the Qiang are the attacking side, and if their attack is not successful, they must retreat, so the wounded soldiers will of course be left behind, and then the heads of the Han army will be cut off.

"Two days" Yao Yizhong faced the excited crowd, raised his hand and stretched out two fingers: "After that, no matter how close you are to Liu Yan, I will order the withdrawal of the army." ” The noisy people wanted to say something, but seeing the resolute expression on Yao Yizhong's face, he looked at each other and no one spoke again.

Yao Yizhong looked at the people who had left, then looked at his fifth son Yao Xiang, and said, "You should prepare, follow the women, children, old and weak to retreat to the north bank of the Yellow River first." ” Yao Xiang, who was already fourteen years old, was surprised: "Father, don't you need to do this, isn't it already about to attack the central camp of the Han army, and Liu Yan will soon be killed or captured?"

"Prudence is always an indispensable mentality, because the Yao family will always have glory and wealth."

Yao Yizhong has many heirs, and Yao Xiang's brothers are not enough to entrust him with important responsibilities, but the rest of the heirs are too young, so this time he brought Yao Xiang, who can be made.

He walked over and pressed Yao Xiang's shoulders with both hands, and said solemnly: "Before any war is really divided into victory and defeat, don't lose your cautiousness, hear clearly?"

Yao Xiang nodded as if he didn't understand.

When the father and son were warm and affectionate, the fighting on the battlefield still continued, and the Qiang army continued for three days day and night, and the Han army was at an absolute disadvantage from the situation, but the situation of the Qiang troops who had paid great casualties could not be better.

Zhang was one of the many miscellaneous generals of the Zhao State of Shijie, who served under Kui'an as a general in command of a partial division, and gained many victories in the southern attack on Yuzhou.

Shijie Zhao's general Kui An had died of illness in 340 AD in the sixth year of Jianwu, and the generals of his department were split by Shi Hu, such as Zhang Raccoon who was assigned to Yao Yizhong.

This battle of Jinan County is the most difficult and bloody battle Zhang Raccoon has ever fought, only a battlefield in Luoyin has been fought in less than a month, there have been more than 100,000 casualties, if you count the losses of the Han army, how can there be 1670,000, but the cruelty of the war has not decreased because of a large number of casualties, but has become more and more cruel.

"Rush at that position again" The position of Zhang Raccoon's finger is the place where part of the wooden fence was burned: "Rush up, either kill it or die there" Naturally, there will be heralds who will go down to give orders, and the team receiving the task will no longer shout, and they will be numb from the officers to the soldiers.

That is, Yao Yizhong, as the commander, also fought with the Qiang people, or if it was not replaced by other armies, the casualties would have collapsed or stopped the war a long time ago.

Whoever made Yao Yizhong the general leader of the Qiang people, and who let him send far more Qiang soldiers in the back than the Zahu or Jin people, a large part of which offset the resentment of the Zahu and Jin people, so that the war could continue.

The northern side of the Han army camp had been broken through to the last line of defense, but the rest of the directions were not like that, causing the battlefield to become a large area that looked recessed from a large area.

If he looked down from a high altitude, Yao Yizhong saw that the area controlled by the Han army on the battlefield was like a glaive, he would definitely be scared out of a cold sweat, and he did not hesitate to directly leave the troops behind the break and withdraw.

It's a pity that Yao Yizhong can't fly, and the place he can see is only a part of the whole army.

The situation seems to be extremely unfavorable for the Han army, after all, the north has been attacked to the last line of defense, so what is the mood of Liu Yan and the top brass of the Han army now "No matter how slow it is, Yao Yizhong should know that our fleet is in the Yellow River."

Liu Yan was a little nervous no matter how he looked at it, not because the enemy army was about to kill the Chinese army, but because it was something else.

He looked around and said, "Yao Yizhong will immediately withdraw his troops or continue to attack."

The rest of the people, whether they were scribes or generals, had no better expressions on their faces.

"Your Majesty, it's still too risky" Ji Chang was privately pleaded by an unknown number of people, so he had to persuade again: "Even if you don't break through, you still move backwards" Sang Yu continued the topic and said: "If the king wants Yao Yizhong to continue the attack, it is best for you to retreat with Da Xu, creating an illusion that we can't hold on, which will make Yao Yizhong attack more firmly." ” They were not afraid that the defense line would really be lost, the previous defense lines all created an illusion that they could not hold on, and even sacrificed at least 2,000 troops in order to make the illusion look realistic.

In the Han army camp, many camp tents actually have ambush soldiers, Ji Chang and the others can't figure out what is going on with those new ones, but the soldiers are real existences.

It is precisely with at least 16,000 elites that they feel that it is impossible for the defense line to be lost, and then the reinforcements on the periphery are not losing their sharpness, and it is the flying pigeon that slows down the offensive.

In general, everything is simply under control.

Liu Yan thought about it for a while, his retreat could indeed create a more realistic illusion, attracting Yao Yizhong to continue the attack, so he nodded and said, "Okay."

After a pause, he said: "You go down to the troops to appease the soldiers, but don't let the troops who don't know the truth really be in an uproar." ” Yao Yizhong, who has been swaying in hesitation, has thought about a lot of details, and always feels that there is something strange, but he has not been able to catch the flash of inspiration.

He was halfway through his thoughts, when someone came to report that it was the retreat of the Han army, which made him involuntarily speed up his heart beating when he heard it.

I haven't taken my children out to play for a long time, and I took my children out during the day, and I was scheduled to go home at six o'clock to start coding, but now I am still stuck in traffic jams.

Halfway to change my wife to drive, the honor is to use the mobile phone code word, only so many yards, I'm really sorry
