Chapter 112: Persuading to Surrender
Fang Jing tried hard to recall, and he was very convinced that he had actually seen this person.
As the figure got closer and closer, the feeling of familiarity became stronger and stronger, but for a while, Fang Jing just couldn't remember where he had seen it before.
"Marquis Fang Jun, it's me..."
"Who are you?" Fang Jing asked with a frown. He must have seen him somewhere, but he couldn't remember it, otherwise the other party wouldn't be able to recognize him directly.
"We met half a month ago. At that time, I came to arrange food and grass matters on the orders of Sima Changshi. That day, Fang Junhou personally verified my identity!"
"It's you..." Fang Jing's pupils suddenly dilated.
Only then did he remember where he had seen this person.
Sima Xin had just divided his troops that day, and it stands to reason that he still had at least one month's worth of food and fodder on hand, but he sent someone to urge him on the matter of food and fodder.
Fang Jing felt that Sima Xin looked a little ugly when he was eating, so he scolded him for a few words, but the guy in front of him retorted forcefully.
If he hadn't had this experience that day, Fang Jing probably wouldn't have been able to remember this person.
"Sima Xin..." Fang Jing suddenly realized that the person sent by Sima Xin to urge forage was here, so where was Sima Xin?
Isn't it more dangerous than bad?
"Hey, I lost..."
"Failed? How many days has it been?" He next to Fang Jing was a little shocked.
Sima Xin led a hundred thousand people, so he was defeated?
Didn't anyone escape?
Why didn't they receive any news?
Of course He couldn't have thought that someone had escaped.
But the problem is that the entire army of 100,000 people was wiped out, and only less than 10,000 people escaped. And among these 10,000 people, some people continued to surrender on their own initiative.
Except for some who are still struggling, most people have chosen to go home quietly, or find another place to stay with their dogs, and wait to see the situation in the future before deciding what to do.
As for reporting back?
Is your idle life too long? Or do you feel that life is not exciting enough?
"There is really no way to talk about this matter. The scouts sent by Sima Changshi have already detected the enemy, and they also set up a formation to wait for the enemy to attack. No one expected that the enemy came with ten thousand soldiers.
people……"
As he said this, the former Five Hundred Master couldn't help but sigh, pretending to have a helpless expression.
"There are only 10,000 people! They came up with a fierce attack. Before we could recover, the leading formation was gone. Just as we were about to defend, the central part of the front army was defeated again. Vice General Chen died in the battle immediately. He didn't even wait for an hour.
By the time it arrived, even the troops sent to outflank both sides were not in place, and the Chinese army was gone. We suffered more than 30,000 casualties, but the opponent's casualties were less than 2,000. There is no way to fight this battle..."
"..." He looked shocked.
Fang Jing is not much better. Is Wang Buxian really that strong?
Is he really more powerful than what is rumored outside?
"One hundred thousand people couldn't block a frontal attack of ten thousand people? This..." Fang Jing's face looked a little frightened.
"Sima Xin... where is Sima Xin?" In this situation, it was obvious that Sima Xin had surrendered to the enemy, and Fang Jing was a little angry.
"To be honest, there was a dispute between Vice General Chen and Sima Chang Shi that day. Vice General Chen wanted tens of thousands of his brothers from the former army to accompany them to die together, but Sima Chang Shi did not agree, so Vice General Chen tied up Sima Chang Shi.
After the Chinese army was defeated, the brothers knew about it, so they did not want to fight anymore!"
"What? Vice General Chen is going to kill one of his own people?"
"Isn't this too cruel?"
"Hey, I'm still a prisoner after all..."
Listening to the vague discussions coming from around him, Fang Jing's expression suddenly changed.
"Stop talking nonsense! You don't care about His Majesty's kindness. You betrayed and surrendered to the enemy. You actually want to help the enemy and cholera our army's morale. Your heart is to be punished!"
Do you dare to let him continue talking?
If I continue talking, I might not even be able to stand still, let alone those ordinary soldiers.
Wang Buxu's army is indeed very powerful, there is no doubt about this, they all know it.
Aocang was lost due to luck, but it was also lost due to a failure in the field.
There is also an element of luck in what Xingyang loses, but is it luck every time?
Who doesn't know now that Wang Buxu's army trains every day? They have been training for at least several months?
Not to mention the actual combat power, just with this daily practice, Fang Jing felt a little panicked.
"Two military princes, it's not that we don't have a strong will to fight, but we really don't have the belief to continue fighting. Vice General Chen gave the order to shoot the front troops, which made tens of thousands of brothers completely heartbroken. Not to mention this, a hundred thousand troops
If you can't stop 10,000 people, doesn't that explain the problem?"
"I have 600,000 soldiers! How many more will his king have if he's not hungry?" Fang Jing roared angrily. Although his voice was loud enough, even he himself didn't feel confident enough at this moment.
Six hundred thousand salted fish, this is...
"It's useless. Dong Duwei in Hebei was also defeated. Not only was he defeated, Dong Duwei was also killed in the formation. There was very little food transported from Hebei. Prince Wang only sent more than 2,000 people, and they were all gone in less than half a month.
Nearly 300,000 shi of food will be collected, and 5,000 reinforcements will arrive later. In one battle, they will annihilate Dong Duwei’s 30,000 main force. After Hebei is properly reorganized, they will march south."
"In front of us are Xingyang's 100,000 defenders and millions of stones and grain and grass. Aocang's 100,000 defenders and millions of stones and grain and grass are in front of us. Even if General Zhang has 400,000 soldiers, what will he do? Can he capture it?"
"Now that 70,000 troops have arrived in Gong County, can the food and grass in the city be allowed out of the city?"
"After Hebei is reorganized, there will be at least 30,000 troops. Can Yuan Yun be held back in Luoyang without fighting hard?"
"Everywhere around Xingyang where food and grass can be found has been cleared away by the prince, and all the people have moved into the city. However, an army of 400,000 has been deprived of food and grass. Can you hold on for ten days?"
"Two military princes, can't you two understand the situation clearly now that things have happened?"
"..."
Fang Jing and He looked at each other, and both sides could see the shock and fear in each other's eyes.
In other words, their hundreds of thousands of troops were just surrounded?
If Luoyang could mobilize too many reinforcements, Li You would not be so anxious that day. More importantly, when Wu Guang attacked Xingyang, Li You took away a group of defenders from Luoyang.
And now Wang Buxu sent tens of thousands of troops to delay Luoyang's reinforcements.
wrong……
Where are Luoyang's reinforcements?
What the hell, the entire rear still feels that their offensive is overwhelming. Wang Buxu is defending Xingyang and Aocang and is about to face a three-sided attack.
In fact, this was the case before. Zhou Wen was so powerful that Qin II was so frightened that he almost peed his pants.
An army of 600,000 prisoners came out of the mountain and solved the crisis instantly. Zhou Wen was defeated again and again.
The lost territory was recovered one after another, and the court was very happy.
Do you want them to go back and tell the court now that I am surrounded and please come and rescue me quickly?
The problem is, I can’t go back...
The scouts were not sent out, but they were intercepted and killed by the opponent's cavalry within sight. Unless they waited for the outsiders to come back and see them, their message would not be conveyed at all.
Fang Jing glanced at He and made eye contact: What should we do?
He looked confused: How did I know?
Fang Jing: Do you want to wait for help?
He: I listen to you...
Fang Jing: Why do I feel a little cold on my back?
He: I feel cold too...
Fang Jing: Then surrender?
He: I listen to you...
