Only by anticipating the enemy's opportunity can we win a thousand-mile victory.
Qin Huaidao speculated that the Turkic army outside the city might run away, but there must be a fight before running away. The crazy attack just now is enough to prove that if the army had not arrived, the attack would not have stopped. After all, the ladder was lost and hit the wood. If you want to attack again, you need to build it again.
, there is no day that cannot be done, and when there is a shortage of food, one day is extremely precious.
But speculation is just speculation after all, and it can't be done accurately. Fighting is no child's play. Qin Huaidao did not immediately answer Xue Wanche's request to fight. Instead, he turned to look at the enemy troops outside the city and thought to himself, remaining silent.
Xue Wanche didn't dare to disturb him and waited patiently.
The breeze blew and the flags crackled, reminding everyone that the war has not receded yet.
Duoji led his army from the west to the north of the city and chose a hillside camp three miles away from the city. This distance is very tricky. If the Turks attack the city from the north, we can form a front and back attack with the friendly forces in the city at any time, and we can be independent.
Defend or attack, making the Turks uncomfortable.
Fang Yiai is also setting up camp over there, in an orderly manner.
Invisibly, the four armies of Duoji, Chengchi, Luo Ying and Fang Yiai formed a semicircle surrounding the Turkic army, glaring at them with murderous intent.
Turkic army, in front of the big tent.
Mo Heshe was also observing the Hanzhou Army, his face was gloomy and scary, and his body exuded a coldness, which made the guards around him instinctively take a few steps back, for fear of causing undue disaster.
A veteran general came over in a hurry, saluted and said: "My lord, I have long heard that the Hanzhou Army was coming to kill, so I hurried and hurried, but it was still a step too late. I didn't expect that so many people from the Hanzhou Army came. I just observed carefully by my subordinates."
, probably more than 200,000..."
"Uncle, you are a veteran on the battlefield and have rich experience. How do you think the Hanzhou Army's combat capabilities are?" Mo Heshe asked coldly, with an indifferent expression, and it was difficult to tell what he was thinking.
The veteran hesitated for a moment, and then said truthfully: "Sir, your subordinates are more impressive than others. The battle strength of the Hanzhou Army last night and the fight just now are enough to show that it is impressive, especially the fierce counterattack before death is very difficult.
Since yesterday, more than 10,000 of our army have died in battle. We have less than 60,000 soldiers capable of fighting. Our troops are not as strong as our opponents. We may not be able to reap the benefits if we continue to fight. Please make your decision as soon as possible whether to stay or go. Otherwise, things may change later."
"What do you want to say?" Moheshe turned around and stared at the veteran.
The veteran general faced the question and said truthfully: "Sir, the Hanzhou Army has come a long way and does not have much food and grass. The only way to survive is to defend the city. Our army also does not have much food and grass. It needs to capture the city to survive. Both sides have no way out.
The only option is to fight to the end, but our army's strength is less than half of the opponent's, not to mention that the opponent still has the city in hand, so our army has little chance of winning if we continue to fight. Once the losses are large, it may be difficult to escape."
"Is this what you want alone or what everyone wants?"
"Replying to my lord, this is the intention of my subordinates, and it is also the intention of everyone."
Mo Heshe was indifferent and thought to himself. Although he wanted to run away in his heart, he couldn't say it out loud. Now that the veteran said it on behalf of everyone, he had a step up. But, would he really run away like this?
Still not reconciled?
Thinking of the huge amount of supplies and family members in the city, and the gentle and supple women in the house, Mo Heshe's heart bleeds, and he is very unwilling to accept it. He finally supported Yehu Khan to rise to power, and now he has to lose it.
How can you be willing to lay down your foundation and find another way to make a living?
The veteran general saw Moheshe's reluctance, but he was unwilling to do so, but he still persuaded him again: "My lord, we must stop being rebellious. If we insist on fighting, the soldiers will fight to the death. If we withdraw, we must make a decision as soon as possible to avoid
Being surrounded, my subordinates are worried that there are still people from the Hanzhou Army on the way."
"Where can we go if we withdraw?" Mo Heshe said reluctantly.
"Go west, go to Ashbulai City, Julan City to Baishui City in Dawan, and then wait and see what happens."
"Dawan?"
A flash of light flashed in Moheshe's eyes. After arriving in Dawan, he could continue to the west or south to rest. More importantly, there were many tribes along the way. After annexing them all, the army could grow to more than 300,000, and the Turks' golden tent could be reestablished.
, wouldn’t it be better to sweat it yourself?
As for family members, remarrying is as long as you are still alive. As long as you are alive, everything is possible.
Didn’t the Turks reproduce like this throughout the ages?
The veteran general saw that Mo Heshe was tempted and continued: "Sir, if our army withdraws to the west, the Hanzhou army will inevitably advance eastward to break the siege of Yuegong City. By then, there will be Yehu Khan's 200,000 personal troops to hold Hanzhou back.
Army, our army can calmly advance westward and continue to grow. If we do not withdraw, our five crossbow troops will be in danger of being exterminated and our clan will be wiped out, which is not advisable."
Mo Heshe was still a little unwilling, and said in a deep voice: "Are you so sure that our army will be defeated? The battle of Yuegong City will not take long to end. By then, Yehu Khan will lead his army to kill us, and we will definitely win a great victory."
"But by then our army has suffered heavy losses, and there are only two ways waiting for us, either being split up or being annexed. Either way is not a good thing."
Moheshe remained indifferent again. The fact that the Turkic tribes fought and annexed each other was so common. If the five tribes had not united, they would not be where they are today.
However, the veteran saw that Mo Heshe had already made a calculation, so he stopped, bowed and retreated.
Just a few steps away, Mo Heshe's voice sounded: "Uncle, tell everyone to prepare quietly, not to be exposed and alert the Hanzhou Army. We will evacuate after lunch and march westward."
"Your Excellency is wise!" The veteran saluted solemnly and hurried away.
Mo Heshe breathed a long sigh of relief and relaxed completely. As for whether this was a betrayal and whether it would bring trouble to Yehu Khan, in the face of the demise of the tribe, the life and death of others did not matter.
If you can help Yehu Khan to ascend to power, why can't you unseat him?
If you can rise to power on your own, why not become a Khan?
The order was conveyed quickly, and the Turkic army quietly prepared to retreat, but there were still large armies on guard outside, staring eagerly at the opponent ahead without any signs.
After lunch, the army suddenly set off, followed the way it came, and quickly went up the mountain.
Suiye City, Department Office.
Qin Huaidao was having a meal with Xue Wanche and other division-level generals, chatting and cultivating feelings. When the news came, everyone was stunned. They had been fighting life and death in the morning, and now they ran away? It shouldn't be.
Everyone looked at Qin Huaidao.
Qin Huaidao immediately asked someone to bring a map. He found it in the office. It was drawn on sheepskin. It was very crude. It only standardized the place names, the general road trend and the shape of the mountains and rivers along the way. It was better than nothing.
Others gathered around and stared at the map without saying a word.
After a while, Xue Wanche broke the silence: "King Han, the enemy army returned the same way. It may go to Yuegong City, or it may be deceptive and wait until the right place to change its route to the west. It is impossible to go north. There is a desert, and there is a sudden cavalry in the north.
Our territory is not much weaker than the Wu Nu Shi Bi Department, so we can only go west or east to Yue Gong City."
"What are your opinions?" Qin Huaidao looked at the division commanders.
Everyone exchanged glances and expressed their opinions one after another. Some agreed to go to Yuegong City, and some agreed to go west. The opinions were not unanimous, and finally they all looked at Qin Huaidao.
However, Qin Huaidao looked at Luo Wu and warned: "You can lead a battalion of men and horses to follow them up. Follow them from a distance without being exposed, and report the enemy's position at any time."
When Luo Wu agreed, Qin Huaidao pointed to the location of the Suiye River on the map and said: "The Suiye River is in the west, and it is also the only water source for the westward journey. Once the Turkic army goes west, no matter how they detour, they must cross the river to get water. The army will have a good meal.
After a meal, head west."
"Obey the order!" Everyone was overjoyed and accepted the order with a bang.
Qin Huaidao looked at Xue Wanche: "Old General Xue, the ambush point is very important and cannot be made wrong. You can find some guides and carefully inquire about where the water level is shallower and where it is convenient for the army to pass. Leave one division and the wounded to defend the city and lead the rest.
The soldiers and horses rush to ambush, prepare more feathers and arrows, and be sure to block them. I will lead the troops to follow at a distance to avoid being exposed and scare the enemy away. Once the war starts, the army will surround them and the battle will be decided. "
"Obey the order!" Xue Wanche accepted the order again and was very happy.
"But what if we don't go west?" A division commander expressed concern.
"That's okay. I will send people to keep an eye on them. If the enemy goes to Yuegong City, they will withdraw their troops." Qin Huaidao said in a deep voice, his eyes flashing. If the Turks hadn't taken a mountain road, which was not conducive to the attack, they would have directly led troops to cover it up.
You’re here and still want to run? There’s no door!
When everyone thought it made sense, their eyes flashed and they were eager to try.
