At this moment, Guan Ying was also deeply helpless. He could only ask Lin Ping for help, hoping that Lin Ping could come up with a solution.
Lin Ping was silent, and for a moment, he didn't know what to do.
Guan Ying saw that Lin Ping was silent and said, "Sir, don't you have a solution?"
"No!"
Lin Ping replied helplessly.
The current situation is really difficult to handle.
Lin Ping said: "General, the cavalry that is chasing us is very cunning. Our cavalry went to encircle and pursue us, but they immediately retreated. When our soldiers' offensive was exhausted, they immediately counterattacked."
"This is an extremely cunning strategy."
"When the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy retreats, we advance. They just want to entangle us."
"If we are entangled, we will be dragged down, and the soldiers under our command will be weakened little by little. Under such circumstances, our soldiers will become fewer and fewer."
"Morale will get lower and lower."
Lin Ping said: "General, there is no solution for this humble position now. The only way is to retreat directly. As long as we return to Sanshui County, we will have a chance to counterattack the opponent."
"Asshole!"
Guan Ying cursed, extremely angry.
Unexpectedly, this would be the result, and he could only let the other party harass him.
This is intolerable to Guan Ying.
Previously, Cen Fei led his soldiers to kill him, but unexpectedly, Cen Fei was completely annihilated. The cavalry he had just sent out were all annihilated. After two consecutive defeats, Guan Ying lost more than a thousand troops.
If we do it a few more times, I'm afraid the loss of troops will be even greater.
This is unbearable for infants.
Lin Ping advised: "General, under the current circumstances, we cannot be impulsive or reckless. This is Yingbo's plan, and we cannot let Yingbo succeed."
Guan Ying said: "I can't take this breath!"
After a pause, Guan Ying said: "No, something is wrong."
Lin Ping said: "What's wrong?"
Guan Ying said seriously: "Sir, think about it, does Yingbu's army have such elite cavalry? Can a mere Baima Qiang soldier understand such a strategy? So, there is something wrong with this situation."
Lin Ping also fell into deep thought.
After thinking about it carefully, it seems that this is indeed the case.
Speaking of elite cavalry, Yingbu did not have such troops.
When it comes to elite cavalry, the White Horse Qiang is even less likely to have one.
Lin Ping said: "General, do you mean that a third party has joined?"
"yes!"
Guan Ying nodded solemnly.
There was a solemn look in his eyes, and he said: "It's just that under the current circumstances, we don't know what the power of this third party is at all."
Lin Ping said: "General, since this is the case, it is even more important to withdraw to Sanshui County. Only by withdrawing to Sanshui County can we expose ourselves. Otherwise, we in this wilderness will most likely fall into
In trouble."
"well……"
Guan Ying sighed: "Withdraw!"
"I'm humble enough to give orders!"
After Lin Ping agreed, he immediately went to deliver the order.
The team sped up and headed towards the county seat of Sanshui County. However, at the rear of the army, Luo Cheng was still harassing them. Under Luo Cheng's harassment, the soldiers who fell on the tail were constantly beheaded.
The hearts and minds of the army also began to rise.
Guan Ying was extremely angry about this, but it was of no use. Because once he stopped, Luo Cheng's army would immediately flee and would not fight him at all. And once he continued on his way, Luo Cheng would chase him again, so Guan Ying would
The baby is too disturbed.
"Withdraw, withdraw quickly!"
Guan Ying was under great pressure inside.
Countless grievances accumulated in his heart.
Amid harassment, the team quickly retreated, getting closer and closer to Sanshui County.
Towards evening, the army led by Guan Ying finally returned to Sanshui County. The army approached the county seat, and Luo Cheng, who was pursuing from behind, turned around and left, while Guan Ying went straight into the city.
After Luo Cheng withdrew his troops, he quickly joined Wang Can and Yingbu's troops.
Luo Cheng cupped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, this attack on Guanying killed about 600 Han soldiers. In addition, we also killed nearly 300 Han soldiers."
"good!"
Wang Can had a smile on his face.
Previously, Cen Fei killed nearly a thousand Han troops.
Now, nearly a thousand Han troops have been killed.
In these two battles, nearly two thousand soldiers under Guan Ying's command were killed. At least the forces of both sides were reduced again and were no longer as huge as before.
Wang Can said in a deep voice: "Now that Guan Ying has returned to Sanshui County, it will not be easy for us to encircle and suppress him. However, now we only need to hide outside and wait for Guan Ying to leave the city. I don't believe it, Guan Ying won't leave the city
.”
Ying preached: "What your Majesty said makes sense!"
Wang Can gave the order directly, and the army was stationed outside the city to rest.
Inside the city, military camp.
After Guan Ying's army was stationed, they detained all the prisoners alone. Guan Ying was also quite tired from the day's raid, so he took an early rest. The next day, Guan Ying got up early in the morning, and then ordered the mobilization of troops and escorted them
He led all the prisoners to the city gate.
He specially built a high platform outside the city.
Then, the troops were stationed here.
Guan Ying escorted all the prisoners nearby, and arranged for the soldiers to post notices to spread the news of the execution of the prisoners. The notice stated that ten prisoners would be killed every hour. The strategy was simple, but direct.
rough.
Guan Ying wanted to use this to force Yingbu out.
After arriving in an hour, Guan Ying asked the soldiers to escort the prisoners and beheaded ten prisoners on the high platform.
The news spread quickly.
Wang Can's sentinel also discovered the situation, quickly left, returned to Wang Can, and reported: "Your Majesty, something serious has happened. Guan Ying is killing prisoners outside the county town. He specially issued a notice, every other
In one hour, ten prisoners will be killed."
brush!
Wang Can's expression suddenly changed drastically.
He did not expect that Guan Ying would adopt such vicious thoughts.
In general war fighting, the prisoners are directly used for their own use. If there is no food and the prisoners cannot be controlled, they will choose to kill the prisoners.
However, in most cases, it is impossible to use prisoners to threaten people.
This is a tactic rarely adopted.
This is extremely vicious.
As soon as Yingbu heard the news reported by the sentry, he immediately became angry and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Guan Ying did this on purpose. He killed ten prisoners every hour, deliberately forcing us to
Get out. Your Majesty, what should we do? We cannot leave the captured soldiers alone."
For Yingbu, he could not let go of his soldiers.
The matter on Wang Can's face also became serious. If the current situation is not handled well, it may even cause the soldiers under his command to lose control. After all, the soldiers who were killed were all Yingbo's soldiers.
If people are not rescued, the morale of the soldiers under Yingbu will be low.
This will lead to a loss of military morale.
Wang Can couldn't think of a suitable strategy for a while, so he looked at Han Xin and asked, "General Han, what's your strategy?"
Han Xin's thoughts changed and he said: "Your Majesty, I have a plan to resolve this problem."
Wang Can asked: "How to resolve it?"
Yingbu couldn't wait to say: "General Han, what's your plan?"
Han Xin smiled and said: "Generally speaking, in battles on the battlefield, there are frontal confrontations, roundabout fighting from the side, and other fighting methods. But this time, we can adopt a roundabout way."
Wang Can asked: "How to make a roundabout way?"
Han Xin replied: "Guan Ying's strategy is very simple, it is to force us out. He has his intention, and we have ours, each fighting his own way. So next, we will let out the news and stop attacking Sanshui County.
, but went south to Guanghan County, pretending to carry out the intention of Zitong County."
"In this way, Guan Ying will be mobilized."
"As long as Guan Ying leaves Sanshui County, we can ambush him again. Now we are in the dark and Guan Ying is in the open. It will be very easy for us to deal with Guan Ying."
Han Xin's eyes flashed and he said: "As time goes by, Guan Ying's power gradually weakens, and our strength will become stronger and stronger. In the end, we can work together to completely wipe out Guan Ying."
After a pause, Han Xin looked at Yingbu and said sternly: "General Yingbu, what you have to do now is to grit your teeth and hold back without any soft-heartedness. The harder you are, the more you can take the initiative.
If you relent, there is no need to continue this battle."
Yingbu said: "I can bear it, no problem!"
Wang Can also breathed a sigh of relief at this moment.
Fortunately, he had Han Xin's allegiance in Xiangshan, otherwise he might not be able to come up with solutions to these problems.
"Send the order, let's go south to Zitong County."
Wang Can gave the order directly.
"Here!"
After Han Xin received the order, he immediately went to make arrangements.
The army set off soon after, leaving Sanshui County and going straight to Zitong County.
As the army emerged from the forest, their whereabouts were exposed and they were quickly discovered by Guan Ying's sentinel. After discovering their whereabouts, the sentry quickly returned to the city gate and reported: "General, I have discovered Yingbu in this lowly position."
A group of people."
"Where are the people?"
Guan Ying quickly asked.
Now, he has been thinking about annihilating Yingbo's army.
The sentry replied: "Report to the general that they have left Sanshui County and are heading south towards Zitong County."
brush!
Guan Ying's complexion changed slightly.
His original plan was to take this opportunity to force Guan Ying to come out. However, Guan Ying did not expect that Yingbu would directly choose to retreat and stay away from Sanshui County.
Under such circumstances, his strategy failed.
Guan Ying flicked his sleeves and angrily asked the soldiers to escort the prisoners away. He looked at Lin Ping and said, "Sir, now that Yingbu has seen through our plan, he went directly south. What should we do now?"
?”
Lin Ping sighed and said: "General, we have met our opponent. Yingbu will not be so smart. He is definitely an ordinary person who can come up with such a plan. I think we should still stay in Sanshui County and not move for the time being."
"
Guan Ying asked: "Where is Zitong County?"
Lin Ping replied: "The troops in Zitong County are not weak. Even if Yingbu attacks, they can hold on for a certain period of time. On the other hand, if we pursue it now, we will most likely fall into the trap."
Guan Ying frowned, feeling helpless.
He feels that the current situation is really a dilemma. (To be continued)
