Chapter 159 The son is sincere, I might as well wait!
The car rumbles.
All night long, they were running around on the vast grassland.
Although Ying Gao was well-dressed, he still felt the biting cold of the north wind. Marching in the snow was inherently difficult.
However, Ying Gao knew that marching in the snow had disadvantages, but it also had advantages.
When marching in the snow, the enemy will inevitably relax their vigilance.
It is precisely because of this that when the army led by Ying Gao slaughtered three tribes in succession, no one noticed that the Hetao area seemed to have been so quiet.
"General, there is still an hour before dawn, and the battlefield has been cleared!"
After glancing at Wang Xu, Ying Gao raised his head and glanced at the sky. It is often the darkest before dawn.
After pondering for a moment, Ying Gao said to Wang Xu: "Send out scouts, with this tribe as the center, and spread out for thirty miles."
"At the same time, order the army to eat here. After half an hour, the scouts sent out will be replaced. The entire army must eat and rest within an hour."
"promise."
With a nod of agreement, Wang Xu turned around and left.
After this night's march, the generals in the army became very convinced of Ying Gao.
After all, Ying Gao has made every move along the way.
In the military, the easiest way for the officers and soldiers of the three armies to accept a person is to say a thousand and say ten thousand.
In particular, continuous victory will create a brave and unparalleled military soul, and can also give birth to a peerless commander.
This scene began to unfold in the northern part of Great Qin.
Qin Wangzheng never dreamed that his sudden decision would give birth to something terrifying.
.........
"General, making fire and cooking in this vast night will undoubtedly expose the footprints of our army..."
Glancing at the worried Wang Hu, Ying Gao chuckled and said: "This is originally a tribe. There is no problem in making fire and cooking here, but it needs to be solved within half an hour."
"Besides, it's almost dawn, and it's time for our army to leave—!"
.........
Since the army in the middle was commanded by Ying Gao personally, there were no dangers along the way and it was considered smooth sailing. At this moment, Ying Gao was even more worried about the situation of the front and rear armies.
An infantry trying to survive on the grassland and in the vast snow can be said to be trying to survive in death.
Just like the glorious army that walked twenty-five thousand.
"Tie Ying, do you think the other two armies can withstand the cold on the Hetao grassland and the death-defying pursuit of King Youxian's army?" At this moment, Ying Gao was a little worried.
His plan to divide his troops was to abandon the front and rear armies.
However, this was his first time on the battlefield, and he was not as hard-hearted as a veteran on the battlefield.
Hearing this, Tie Ying fell silent.
He was very optimistic about Ying Gao. After a while, he said to Ying Gao: "Sir, righteousness does not control wealth, and kindness does not control soldiers. Sometimes, it is a last resort."
"Hahaha........"
With a chuckle, Ying Gao said, "Let's go and drink some broth to warm ourselves up."
"promise."
Ying Gao knew clearly that Tie Ying was not wrong, but he was not entirely right.
It is true that there is a saying in the art of war that kindness does not lead to troops. However, if you want to be a commander in charge of tens of millions of armies, you must have kind thoughts in your heart. Otherwise, you will not be able to achieve the goal, and you will not be called a peerless commander at all.
.........
After eating a large bowl of mutton soup, Ying Gao felt his whole body warm up.
Wang Xu, who had drank two large bowls of mutton soup in a row, came over, looked at the map drawn by Ying Gao, and said: "General, our army is at this position now, and the two armies behind and behind have lost news."
"And this location is where King Youxian's army is located, and it is also the largest tribe in the Hetao."
Having said this, Wang Xu raised his head, glanced at Ying Gao, and said, "General, do you want to send scouts to contact the two armies?"
"no need!"
Without too much thinking, Ying Gao refused: "Our army is already small in number. At this time, if we send out scouts, they will be ineffective, and we will simply die."
"Too many will weaken the combat effectiveness of our army. In this case, the gain will outweigh the loss."
At this time, it is not suitable to divide the troops at all.
"The army enters the Loop, and everyone is determined to live or die. I believe they can come out——!"
Ying Gao lowered his gaze on the map. After a while, he said: "This is where King Youxian's army is. Once the news comes out after dawn, it will only take an hour to reach King Youxian's army."
middle."
"So, our army only has two hours left."
........
"General, the scouts have been replaced. There is no news."
Wang Hu came over and said to Ying Gao.
"Let them eat quickly. In a quarter of an hour, the army will leave here——!"
Having said this, Ying Gao glanced at Wang Xu and said: "This time the army will be led by Wang Hu. I have only one request for you, which is to lead a thousand troops and cut off the rear."
"After the break?"
Hearing this, Wang Xu was shocked and couldn't help but said to Ying Gao: "General, our army is advancing without pursuers, how can we cut off the rear?"
"Hahaha........"
With a chuckle, Ying Gao pointed to the map on the snow and said: "Look, here is King Youxian's army. It is about an hour away from where we are now, and heading east is entering Touman's territory.
among.”
"And the true direction of our army is to go straight to King Youxian's tribe and make a detour on the side of Yin Mountain. I will give you a task to erase the footprints of our army and restore it to its original state."
"Then we will create a route for the army to advance along the eastward direction of Touman's territory, hoping to delay King Youxian for an hour."
"In this way, our army will have three hours to escape more easily."
........
Hearing this, Wang Xu was shocked.
He did not expect that there would be such a showy operation. What Ying Gao did was very different from the military strategists of this era.
The military strategists of this era valued being upright, but Ying Gao's journey was basically full of intrigues.
"General, you must be upright when using your troops. This will have a very bad impact on the reputation of the general..." Wang Xu knew in his heart that Ying Gao was not an ordinary person, and his reputation was very important.
It is difficult for a person who kills excessively to ascend to the throne.
"fine!"
Compared with Wang Xu and others, Ying Gao was not so worried. He knew in his heart that this era was after all an era where strength was king. Moreover, the Huns were a foreign race. This would have some impact, but not a big one.
After all, it was not the Chinese people who were massacred in the Central Plains.
"Border troubles must be eliminated. If it is necessary for one person to bear the burden of monstrous killings and eternal infamy, for the sake of Great Qin, I will be duty-bound."
Ying Gao looked determined and fearless.
At this moment, Wang Xu, Wang Hu, Tie Ying and others were all moved.
They are all soldiers, so they naturally know how much being subjected to such infamy and assassination will have an impact on Ying Gao.
With this thought, everyone bowed solemnly to Ying Gao and said: "Young Master is sincere, I am not as good as waiting for you——!"
