It was a retreat, Shi Dayong gave the order to retreat.
They were ordered to come out for reinforcements and retreated without contacting the Jin army. This stunned the Ming army. I had listened to the Wu brothers' Xintianyou earlier, and the music was more heroic. I had already hardened my heart and wanted to follow the general to break through this hell gate.
, how did you know that what you were waiting for was an order to retreat? What kind of thing is this?
Xia Desheng was afraid that he had heard wrongly, so he specifically asked Shi Dayong again, but the answer was still to retreat. This made him at a loss, and he sat on the horse and stared at Shi Dayong blankly.
Ge Qing, Liu Zeyi, Wang An and others were also dumbfounded, not knowing whether to advance or retreat.[
"Why, weren't you afraid before? Since our troops can't break the siege at all, and the only risk is to die, then we just go back." Shi Dayong looked at the group of officers who were temporarily under his command with a half-smile.
Ge Qing swallowed his throat and reminded in a low voice: "General, Master Futai's military order is to send aid to Dalinghe City. If we don't fight, we will withdraw. I'm afraid the general will not be able to explain to Master Futai when we return."
Wang An also said: "Master Futai is the most strict in governing the army. If you go back like this, I'm afraid you will be guilty of using military orders to punish the general."
Shi Dayong nodded and said: "Yes, the military order I received was to send out reinforcements, but you have also seen that the Jin Army's blue and red flags blocked the way forward for our army. The opponent has thousands of cavalry, and we are on foot.
There are a total of 2,000 people on the horse, and we are going deep alone, with no chance of winning. So what if we force a breakthrough? Even if we break in, the Jin army will not withdraw from the siege. In this case, we don't have to pretend to be heroes. Where can we fight?
No matter where you come from."
"this……"
Ge Qing, Liu Zeyi and others looked at me and I looked at you. Although they were happy to go back immediately, no one dared to second their opinions. After all, retreating without engaging the enemy was against military orders.
If the governor pursues the case, they will also be responsible.
Xia Desheng and Li Yizhong were confused by Shi Dayong's order to withdraw their troops. At this moment, they still did not believe that Shi Dayong, who had dared to fight Jiannu to the end with thousands of soldiers, actually ordered the withdrawal.
This was not even a fight, it would be an understatement to say that he was just running away!
How could the two of them not know the chance of winning this rescue mission? Although they knew that retreating at this time was a wise choice, Commander Zu was still besieged in the city, so he just went back with his head down.
The feeling of not being able to live with the old owner.
It’s true that the Jiannu soldiers are strong, but you have to give it a try. If you don’t try, how will you know if you can’t break through?
Even if they really couldn't break through, they still tried their best. No one can blame them for the defeat! Even if Commander Zu knew about it, he wouldn't blame them for not saving them.
They wanted to fight in their hearts, but they did not dare to disobey orders. They were different from Ge Qing, Liu Zeyi and others. Ge Liu and others were temporarily transferred to Shi Dayong's command. They were regarded as guest soldiers, but they were the soldiers of his own army. Shi Dayong
They only obeyed the orders and had no objection. If Ge Liu and others were unwilling to withdraw, Shi Dayong would not be able to do anything to them.
Therefore, Xia and Li looked at Ge Liu and others eagerly, hoping that they would oppose the withdrawal of troops.
But after waiting and waiting, no one among them said that they could not withdraw their troops. Several of them looked embarrassed, as if they were wondering whether to obey or disobey the order.
Shi Dayong knew what Ge Liu and others were thinking. Since he had decided to withdraw, he didn't want to delay it any longer. He said straightforwardly: "Master Futai will take the blame. I will bear the responsibility. You don't have to worry.
The order to withdraw the troops was given by me. As the saying goes, one person is responsible for the work, and I have always been upright and will not drag you into the water."
Hearing this, Ge Qing blushed and said hurriedly: "What are you saying, general? We are ordered to go out with the general to help. We advance and retreat as one body. How can we let the general bear the blame alone?"
Liu Zeyi hesitated for a while, but then said: "After returning to Jinzhou, what do you think of the humble rank? Please let the general know in advance, so that we can know better."
Upon hearing his words, Wang An and Ge Qing nodded in haste, saying that they would only listen to Shi Dayong on everything after returning home.
Their attitude was clear. They all agreed to withdraw their troops. They even thought carefully about how they could explain Shi Dayong's lie about withdrawing his troops when they returned, so as not to be blamed by the higher-ups.[
Zheng Guo remained silent, with a cold face. He looked at Shi Dayong, Wang An and the others, and then looked at Jin Jun in the distance. He didn't know what he was thinking.
Among the people present, the one with the closest relationship is Zheng Guo. To a certain extent, he Zheng Guo also represents Governor Qiu. Now that Shi Dayong is openly defying the order and wants to lead his troops to retreat, for both public and private reasons, Zheng Guo should immediately stand up.
Come out and oppose.
As Zheng Guo, if he insists on not withdrawing his troops, Shi Dayong can only cancel the withdrawal order. Because if he still insists on withdrawing, after returning to Jinzhou, no matter how he makes up the reasons for himself, as long as Zheng Guo is here, this will not happen.
The fact of fighting and fleeing can never be concealed.
Shi Dayong also thought that Zheng Guo would object, but to his surprise, Zheng Guo did not speak and was just playing with the riding crop in his hand.
Ge Qing, Liu Zeyi and the others were still talking about how to report to the governor when they went back. Shi Dayong became impatient, waved his hand and said to them: "Okay, don't say anything. If you want to go back, bring it with you immediately."
Withdraw your troops, otherwise, if the Jin army comes to attack on its own initiative, you will not be able to withdraw even if you want to."
Hearing this, Ge Liu and the others were agitated, subconsciously glanced at the opposite side, then each pulled the reins of their horses, turned their horses' heads, and ordered their troops to retreat.
The Wu brothers looked confused when they left. They really didn't understand that General Shi clearly asked them to sing a hometown ditty to cheer them up, but after the song was finished, he stopped playing!
Yes, if we don't want to fight, we won't fight. You are the general and we are the guest soldiers. Whatever you say will be whatever you say.
After these guests and generals returned to their headquarters to issue orders to withdraw their troops, Shi Dayong shouted: "Xia Desheng, Li Yizhong!"
"The end is here!"
Xia and Li immediately hugged each other with some reluctance.
"The two of you lead your cavalry to the rear and wait for them to retreat five miles before retreating. If the Jin army follows you, you don't have to fight hard with them. You just need to stop them. If you really can't stop them, just let them go.
Just run the horse into the city."
"General, are you really going back like this?" Xia Desheng was still unwilling to withdraw like this.
"Yes, just go back like this." Shi Dayong confirmed the withdrawal order again, and then shouted: "You haven't accepted the order yet!"
Xia Desheng and Li Yizhong sighed secretly at the same time and responded: "Yes, general!"
All Niulu units were ready, waiting for the Ming army to come and charge into the battle. Unexpectedly, after waiting for half a stick of incense, they saw that all the infantry of the Ming army suddenly turned around and went back towards Jinzhou, leaving only a few hundred cavalrymen still in place.
Move. Judging from the posture, there is no intention of fighting at all.
"Master, why did the Ming army withdraw?"
Gushan's forehead was so white that his eyes were straight. What the hell were the people of the Ming Dynasty doing? They were obviously here to rescue Zu Dashou's tribe in the city, but why did they go back the same way they came when they arrived?
Looking at the Ming army retreating south, Azig smiled contemptuously: "Baida, didn't you see? The general of the Ming army is obviously afraid of our Eight Banners. He is fleeing without a fight. Humph, you are a rat!"
"
Baida laughed and said: "The people of the Ming Dynasty are really worthless. It is true that as the master said, they are all a bunch of rats. When they see our Golden Eight Banners, they are like rats seeing cats. They are timid and afraid of death. It is ridiculous that the population of the Ming Kingdom is ours.
It's hundreds of times richer, but the brave warriors who dare to fight are not even as good as us. It's really sad. According to my slave, this Han people's strength is probably really exhausted."
Azig had a proud look on his face: "God has promised me great rewards. In the future, King Khan will definitely lead us to the Central Plains." [
Seeing that the infantry of the Ming army had retreated for a mile, Baida hurriedly asked for instructions: "Master, do you want me to lead two Niulu to intercept them?"
Azig shook his head: "No need, let them go back. This Ming army is just a small shrimp. The big fish we are waiting for is behind."
