Seven hundred and thirtieth chapters quietly retreat
"This...how is this possible?"
Looking at the high morale of the Dali rebels, Wu Feichen knew that he could not be tough. At the same time, he could not bear to let the Nanyi army stay here and left with the defeated army. At this time, as the commander-in-chief, he would surely suffer a fierce attack from the rebels.
Attack, if the Nanyi army suffered a major defeat here, he would not know how to explain it to Ling Yun after returning to the city.
Remembering that before setting off for the expedition, Ling Yun repeatedly advised him not to go out to fight the enemy to avoid being ambushed by the enemy. He should find out the details of the enemy's army and how many people were there.
However, the reaction of his men in going to battle was huge, and at the same time, the superiors were constantly putting pressure on him. If he did not go out of the city to fight the enemy, he would be slandered by the thieves again, and he would no longer be able to lead the army.
At the time of crisis, if he hadn't stood up and withstood the attack of the Dali rebels, how could Anyi city have been defended? How could he have thought of defeating the generals who did not think about the fault of the defeated army, but also shifted the responsibility for the defeat to the generals?
I pushed it away and found some small shrimps to cushion my back.
The most important thing is that this guy He Huanzhi is too hostile to him. He always causes trouble for him and speaks ill of him. If he does not go out of the city to fight the enemy, there is a high probability that he will be transferred back and Anyi City will also change its defenders.
general.
By that time, the defeat will only get bigger and bigger, and the dawn of their God will only get smaller and smaller, and there will even be no hope, so even if An Yicheng is tasked with defending the city, he has to go out of the city to fight.
Unfortunately, this time he went out of the city to face the battle, which directly caused him to suffer an unprecedented defeat.
Hu Hongyun had no time to talk to him. He stared at the chasing Dali rebels ahead. He was even a little impatient with Wu Feichen's words. He only said, "There is nothing wrong. General Wu just retreats."
"Okay then!"
Wu Feichen noticed his displeasure with interest and responded awkwardly, then led the remaining defeated soldiers and continued to retreat until they reached a safe distance. He began to feel a little uneasy again, so he found a higher hilltop.
He led the soldiers up and looked at Hu Hongyun and other Nanyi troops, wondering how they would respond to the enemy.
"Captain, the rebels are catching up."
Centurion Hu Lifu came to report at this time. Hu Hongyun immediately looked forward and roughly estimated that the Dali rebels were still about a mile away from them. He smiled crookedly and said, "The general doesn't want to go out of the city to fight with you, but that doesn't mean that
We, the Nanyi Army, are afraid of you."
As the voice fell, Hu Hongyun immediately ordered, "Let the soldiers set up their crossbow formations, and at the same time pass the information to the second and third regiments. Wait for my order. As long as our regiment moves, let them follow immediately. Today, we will
Therefore, I want to severely extinguish the arrogance of these idiots and let them know that although the Qiannan Army is not good, our Nanyi Army is not a weak persimmon."
"Yes, leader!"
When Hu Lifu heard this, he bowed his hands and retreated to deliver the order.
When the Dali rebels were still about 800 meters away from them, Hu Hongyun waved his hand and signaled the regiment to release arrows. Only the flag bearer of the regiment was seen. With a wave of his right hand, the crossbow arrows in the hands of all the soldiers in the regiment shot out in unison.
It flew out and accurately hit the Dali rebels who were running toward them.
When the second and third regiments saw this, their two regiment leaders first smiled, and then waved their hands, and the soldiers under the regiment also shot out the crossbow arrows. On the backs of each of the nearly five thousand people in the team,
They all carried a crossbow and thirty arrows.
You can imagine what a scene it would be like if nearly five thousand people fired arrows from their hands at the same time.
As the saying goes, it is disrespectful to come and not reciprocate.
Just now, the Dali rebels used fireballs, bows and arrows to kill the Qiannan Army mercilessly, causing them to be defeated like a mountain and flee. The corpses were piled up in mountains, which was horrible to see.
Now that the offense and defense were at odds, the Nanyi Army had already laid an ambush. Just waiting for the Dali rebels to attack, a rain of arrows fell. The penetrating power of the powerful crossbow arrows directly penetrated the bodies of the Dali rebels. The rebels and their horses fell down one after another.
, cannot move forward half a step.
The Dali army encountered a strong enemy in the front. Li Boyan's subordinate Li Weiran hurried back. The moment he saw him, he immediately reported anxiously, "General, our army was ambushed in the front!"
"ambush?"
Li Boyan was stunned when he heard this, obviously not believing this. Moreover, before this, the defenders of Anyi were already defeated generals. Their troops were demoralized and fled in all directions. How could they organize a large-scale ambush?
He couldn't help but confirm, "Are you sure you read it correctly?"
Li Weiran said seriously, "General, I'm not mistaken. There is indeed an ambush ahead... and there are quite a few troops in the ambush."
"Do you know where this army came from?"
"I'm reporting this to you general, I don't know about it!"
Li Weiran really didn't know that they had just focused all their attention on the defenders of Anyi City, and did not notice at all that there was an army of nearly 5,000 people buried in the front of them, behind the defenders of Anyi City.
Team.
While this surprised them, it also caused heavy losses to the cavalry who were hunting the defenders of Anyi City.
Li Boyan paused and said, "In that case, you give the order and let the cavalry charge again and kill all the enemy archers ambushing in front."
Then he said disdainfully, "I don't believe it. With just a few thousand archers, they can resist our cavalry. I think they don't know how to show off."
As the words fell, Li Weiran did not move, but glanced at him hesitantly, and then quickly lowered his eyes, as if he was hesitating for something.
The order was issued, but Li Weiran didn't move, which aroused his dissatisfaction, so he emphasized his tone and said, "What are you still doing here? Didn't I ask you to go down and deliver the order? You and I can afford to delay the opportunity for fighting.
responsibility?"
Li Weiran hurriedly explained, "No, General, I have organized three attacks in advance, but the enemy's bows and arrows are so powerful that our cavalry cannot get close to the enemy."
"Can't rush forward?" Li Boyan whispered twice, thought for a while, turned around and left in a hurry, walked to Li Xiuran and informed him of the matter.
When Li Xiuran heard this, his face showed disbelief, and then he said angrily, "If you can't charge forward, let the archers go up and shoot with them. I want to see who is less afraid of death."
As soon as these words came out, Li Boyan immediately gave the order.
It can be seen that Li Xiuran's ruthlessness is not only reflected in his enemies, but also does not show any mercy to his own troops. Perhaps in his eyes, as long as he can defeat the enemy and achieve his goal, his people
If you die, you will die. It is just a cheap life anyway.
It was very unpleasant to say this to other generals. After all, they were still his own soldiers. If they were sacrificed in vain, who would be willing to sacrifice their lives for him?
"General, wouldn't this be bad?" Li Hongliang, the captain next to him, asked, obviously trying to stop Li Xiuran from giving this order, but what he got in return was an angry look from Li Xiuran.
"What, you want to disobey this general's order?"
Li Xiuran glared fiercely, and gradually became angry, "I tell you, Li Hongliang, if you dare to disobey my general order, your official position is at least higher than mine. If not, believe it or not, if you dare to say another word, I will punish you."
Cut off his head and use it as a ball?"
When Li Hongliang heard this, he trembled all over and looked miserable. He hurriedly admitted his mistake and said, "The general will atone for his sins, and he will finally realize his mistake!"
"Humph!" Li Xiuran snorted coldly and said nothing.
The generals around him looked at each other with horror in their eyes, pity how strong the oppression Li Xiuran put on them.
Li Xiuran's behavior made the generals dare not speak out, because as long as they made him unhappy, they would really kill someone if they disagreed with him. There was a precedent where a thousand households disobeyed his military orders and directly killed him without saying a word.
It was chopped down, so when the generals saw this situation, they did not dare to say anything for fear of offending themselves.
Li Boyan ordered again, "The general has ordered that the shield bearers should go up first, followed by the archers."
"Yes, General!"
Li Weiran got the order and went down again.
"The general has an order. The shield should be pressed first, followed by the archers. The enemy archers will surely be wiped out."
As soon as the order was issued, there was an immediate response.
"Report~"
"What's the matter?"
In a moment, Li Weiran left and came back, and Li Boyan couldn't help but look at him with confusion.
Li Weiran hesitated, "General, the enemy has retreated."
