Chapter 1,242 Zilong is confused and shares weal and woe
For a period of time after Zhao Yun finished giving the order, the morale of the army fell to the bottom.
No one asked Zhao Yun why Zhuge Liang targeted them like this.
Although they are unwilling to go through a second decoy operation, but... in fact, there is no one in the army who is more suitable to be the executor than them.
While everyone comforted themselves in this way, they hurriedly began to write suicide notes——
Some people cried while writing, their hands were trembling, and they could not hold the pen firmly. Most of them were soldiers who did not even know Chinese characters. They could only look blankly at the dejected surroundings, and froze in place.
At a loss.
The more he saw such a scene, the sadder Zhao Yun felt.
He understands everyone very well... He knows that everyone is not greedy for life and afraid of death... But their behavior this time is tantamount to the same as dead soldiers.
But what kind of person is a dead man?
He was someone who left everything behind before the war, got the promise of the army, and fought to the death for glory and wealth.
They have made enough preparations and left enough escape routes - at least their wives, children and children who are far away from home will receive the best possible care after their deaths.
But the group of soldiers following Zhao Yun now are not dead soldiers - in any case, it is difficult for anyone to face death without preparation in advance.
"I...I don't want to die...I really don't want to die!"
"I don't understand...I can't understand why this is happening...Obviously...we are obviously members of the military, but we have to be treated like this..."
"Shall we run?
If you don't run again, you won't have a chance."
Zhao Yun just looked at everyone quietly. Even though... some people were already talking about running away, he did not step forward to stop them.
Because in his consciousness, he was the one who caused all this, so if someone really wants to escape, he doesn't say whether he wants to or not...but he thinks he is not qualified to stop it.
"General... when will we... set off?"
Maybe it was because they had followed Zhao Yun for a long time, and some of the generals and lieutenants had a good psychological quality. They knew that if the army was allowed to continue like this, the army would only collapse faster, so a few of them together, despite their dark faces, still left.
Go to Zhao Yun and ask Zhao Yun about his next plan.
"Give everyone some more time... wait until they finish writing, and then we set off again. There may not be any time to rest tonight."
Zhao Yun, who had drooped eyelids, slowly said this. When Zhao Yun said this, everyone was silent for a while...
"General... no matter what the reason is, we are willing to wait for your explanation... so..."
What surprised Zhao Yun was that the several lieutenants in front of him suddenly stood aside. After Zhao Yun cast doubtful glances at them, several of them gave Zhao Yun a military salute at the same time...
"Thank you..."
In shock, several people turned and left, leaving Zhao Yun alone in a daze. In the end, he could only slowly say a word of thanks.
——
Ever since he realized that Pang Tong might fail, and ever since he suffered a big collapse in Jianye, Zhuge Liang could be said to have exercised caution to the extreme.
Under such circumstances, it is even difficult to say who is more thoughtful than the other between him and Yi Xiaotian now.
Lu Xun's desperate formation of troops was revealed by Zhuge Liang when the battle was about to begin. Zhuge Liang did not even send out scouts on a large scale to inquire about the front line, but he predicted Lu Xun's plan through extremely limited intelligence.
practice.
Of course, some things beyond his imagination still happened, but it was not his fault.
Yangxian......
During the war, this seemingly ordinary city was actually ambushed by tens of thousands of elite soldiers led by Quan Cong, Han Dang and others in the wilderness on the outskirts of the city.
The key is that Quan Cong Han Dang's strength has not been damaged at all during the previous turmoil in Jiangdong. Now they are equipped with sophisticated equipment. It can be said that even if they face an army twice their size, they are still capable of fighting.
——
Yangxian is surrounded by mountains and rivers, so it is definitely a good place to station troops...
But precisely because of this, if an ordinary person were to direct this battle between Jiangdong and Liu Bei's army, it would be difficult to think of the real strategic significance of Yangxian——
From Changdang Lake to Gehu Lake and then to Zhenze...these three connected waters are an extremely complex waterway network. If a powerful navy can fight out of it, it may be able to exert several times the power of less than 10,000 people.
utility of their quantity.
The Xiaoqi battalion composed of nearly 5,000 Qingqi led by Zhao Yun is facing a more difficult situation than they imagined.
——That night, after regrouping, the army led by Zhao Yun marched in the completely opposite direction to the main army.
Just as Zhuge Liang expected, Zhao Yun and others encountered harassment from the Jiangdong reconnaissance troops near Yangxian before they arrived at the foot of Yangxian City, only in the winding valley road in front of the mountain.
Although it was only a small-scale collision and the two sides did not suffer much damage, Zhao Yun knew... that after their whereabouts were exposed, they would face a more severe test next.
"General, do you want to march urgently?"
After discovering that their whereabouts were exposed, a lieutenant general was on hand to make suggestions - after all, their original idea was to hide their whereabouts as much as possible. If they could conduct an organized raid on the enemy's position before the enemy discovered them, then
Maybe their chances of winning will be higher.
But this method doesn't work right now, so it's natural to find another way.
There are two roads in front of us. One is naturally the rapid march mentioned by the deputy general——
"General, I believe that a forced march is a method that must be used as a last resort... Now that we have not fully grasped the enemy's strength, a hasty march is not only unlikely to be effective, but will also put ourselves in danger."
Another person put forward a rebuttal. Both sides held their own opinions, and there was a faint sign of endless debate.
It's just... As someone who has actually fought against Yi Xiaotian, although Zhao Yun does admire Yi Xiaotian from the bottom of his heart, but now... he is already facing a situation with no way out...
During the short exchange just now, he discovered some details that no one else noticed, and this gave Zhao Yun some basis for analyzing and judging the situation.
"Unload your bags... Today we have to arrive in Yangxian before noon..."
"General! This is inappropriate!"
"No, believe me...I'm sure. Although it is certain that the enemy has a large army ambushing Yangxian as the military advisor expected, what we face again and again does not look like the enemy's real main force——"
As soon as Zhao Yun said this, no one could question anything. What they had to do was to trust Zhao Yun unswervingly in this journey that seemed to have no return.
