Ling Yun was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then asked, "You mean, Wang Dongxu led his army to escape?"
"Commander, that's right!" Lin Zijin said anxiously.
"Wang Dongxu's group of cowards ran away without even saying hello. When Mo Jiang took people to where they were, there was no one around. It looked like they had already run away."...
Ling Yun was silent for a while, then nodded calmly and said, "Well~ since I ran away, let's run away!"
"Commander" Lin Zijin looked in shock. He didn't expect Ling Yun to be so calm, and he couldn't help but wonder.
Ling Yun lowered his head and fell into deep thought. At first, he thought it was strange that Wang Dongxu put all his troops at the south gate. Originally, everyone retreated to Nanle Town just to take a rest and discuss how to deal with the next step. Unexpectedly, this guy really wanted to retreat.
.
Just retreat. There is no problem in the first place. The blame is on this guy. He chose to escape without saying a word. It is really funny. However, considering the performance of the Handan Army before, he does not think it is strange that he can do such a thing.
, I just don’t think it’s necessary.
Lin Zijin said with a worried look on his face, "Commander, there are more than 10,000 people in the reckless army this time. Now that Wang Dongxu has left, I am afraid it will be difficult to resist with our army alone, so it is better to retreat first."
After hearing this, Ling Yun did not answer, but stared at Lin Zijin thoughtfully with a smile.
Meeting Ling Yun's gaze, Lin Zijin couldn't help but feel a little timid.
After a long pause, he couldn't help but ask, "Commander, do you think there is something wrong with the general's method?"
Lin Zijin asked with trepidation, because from Ling Yun's calm eyes, he felt that there seemed to be something wrong with his words.
"Lin Zijin, right?" Ling Yun called out softly, as if he was making sure he had recognized the wrong person.
Lin Zijin was stunned for a moment, then blurted out, "The last general is none other than Lin Zijin."
Immediately afterwards, he saw Ling Yun stand up and take two steps forward slowly. At the same time, he explained, "The difference between our army and the enemy's army is that the speed of the enemy's cavalry is higher than that of our army."
"It's too late to retreat now!"
After Lin Zijin listened, he understood the general idea instantly.
The enemies are all cavalry, and except for the White Robes, the rest are infantry. Even if some soldiers have war horses, they are only a minority. At least half of the eight thousand people do not have war horses. If they choose to retreat, they must keep these people behind.
"But general, we have four thousand war horses. If this battle is destined to fail, we can leave part of it first." Ling Yun's face darkened when he heard this.
In the previous battle, the Nanyi Army suffered more than 10,000 casualties, and 8,000 soldiers managed to survive. According to Ling Yun's nature, he would not leave half of the soldiers behind anyway.
Therefore, they are destined to have only one battle.
"Part, how much is part?"
"There are four thousand people, so there are four thousand left. What should we do with the other disabled brothers?"
"Leave them here to die?"
Ling Yun asked three times in a row, which stunned Lin Zijin. He kept opening his mouth, but in the end, he couldn't say a word because he couldn't say that someone will always die in the war. "Commander, we
What should we do?" Lin Zijin did not continue the topic just now, but asked Ling Yun what to do. Ling Yun said without thinking, "Before you take people out, I have ordered them to go down and move all the defensive equipment.
Go up to the city and send people back to Pingle at the same time... As long as we hold Nanle City for half a day, we can wait for reinforcements."
Having said that, Ling Yun's face was particularly solemn, because Nanle City is just a small town, and the city wall is only six or seven feet high. It is very dangerous to block the attack of the reckless cavalry, but the current situation is like this, even if there is no Even if we have a chance of winning, we must defend Nanle City.
"Can it be blocked?" Lin Zijin wondered in his heart, how could a city wall that was less than seven feet tall resist the reckless army?
Admittedly, because he had fought against the Mang Army, Lin Zijin knew how powerful the Mang Army was, so he had concerns.
On the other side, the Mang army was on its way quickly. Just as they were about to arrive at Nanle City, something happened and the pursuer Gu Libo stopped.
"What did you say? Someone took the opportunity to escape?" Gulibo asked indifferently, staring at the soldier who reported the report.
The soldier replied anxiously, "General, it's true."
Gulibo paused after hearing this, then glanced at Nanle City not far away, and asked, "Are there any people in the city?"
"Back to General, there is still an army in Nanle City."
Hearing this answer, Gulibo's face suddenly darkened, his face was covered with dark clouds, and his expression became cold. He was silent for a while, thought about it in his mind for a while, and snorted coldly, "So, the enemy plans to make some soldiers retreat. , one team defends, so as to confuse our army's sight and let us choose which team to attack. ""Haha" and then laughed, a gurgling sound came from the hoarse throat, which made people feel scared.
The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and his lips were curled up in a bad way. His expression became a little distorted, and he said with anger, "What a good plan. Knowing that we can't stop our army, we let some people escape first. What a pity! This time, they calculated wrong. No matter which army we are, we will not let them go. If they want to escape, right? Then we will kill them.
"Temusheng, lead five thousand people to Nanle Town. As long as the enemies in the city retreat, you will launch an attack." Gulibo suddenly gave an unclear order to Temusheng.
Temusheng immediately responded, "I will obey your orders!"
Then he looked at the army and said loudly, "Brothers from the Second and Third Banners, come out and follow me."
Under Gulibo's arrangement, Temusheng led the 5,000 people from the Zhenger and Zhengsan banners to leave, leaving 8,000 people left.
"Everyone else, follow me."
"Jin Dazhu, lead the way!"
Gulibo decisively ordered his troops to be divided into two groups, detaching an army of 5,000 men. He wanted to go and besiege the former army in Nanle City. The purpose was to prevent the Gan army in Nanle City from escaping, and then led the remaining 8,000 troops. The army went to the other side to pursue the escaped Ganjun.
The Gan army that escaped was naturally Wang Dongxu's army. If Wang Dongxu knew at this moment that the Mang army was targeting them, I wonder if he would regret his decision to escape.
