There was silence in the Jurchen camp in the mountains. After the day's battle, the Jurchen soldiers suffered both physical and mental torture. After returning to the camp, they were all limp, weak, exhausted and ready to die. In many people's minds
The roar of firearms and the horrific scenes of landslides and earth-shattering still echoed, and they still had lingering fears. For many people, being able to come back alive today was a blessing from God. They absolutely did not want to return to the battlefield again and face what they were going to face today.
The right situation.
The thoughts of the soldiers are actually the common thoughts of the Jurchen generals at this moment. Today's battle has already been a battle with all-out attack. Today's battle ended hastily in such a situation, and there is no possibility of subsequent attacks. Even the strongest blow failed.
After defeating the opponent, the troops and horses are now damaged, morale is low, and it is even more impossible to win the battle. Therefore, at this moment, what is being discussed in the big tent of the Jurchen camp is the question of where to go.
In the big tent, Yalu Buhua sat in the chair at the top. His tall body was completely retracted into the big chair, his head and face were lowered. His face was hidden in the shadow of the candlelight, and his expression could not be seen at all. Meeting
At first, he only said a few words, and then he remained silent.
The emotions among the sixty to seventy middle- and senior-level generals below were extremely intense.
"General, we must be held accountable for today's battle. The attacking troops on the west slope withdrew without permission. This ruined the overall offensive plan, leaving the pass attack and the attacking troops on the east slope in a situation where they were flanked by enemies. They had to choose to withdraw, which led to the overall
The failure of the offensive plan. The responsibility for this must be held by those attacking on the western slope. Under the originally good situation, the general led the army in person to attack the pass, and our more than 20,000 attacking troops on the eastern slope have also reached the bottom of the hillside.
Victory is within easy reach at a hundred steps. If you do this now, it will be all in vain. Someone must bear this responsibility." A general named Hua Chilu, one of the generals named Hua Chilu under Yalu Buhua, who was responsible for commanding the operations in Dongpo, stressed from the beginning
He punched out and criticized the defeat of the soldiers and horses on the west slope today.
"General Hua Chilu is absolutely right. The general personally supervised the battle. My forward army and more than 10,000 brothers from the general's guard battalion and I risked our lives to attack the pass and broke through several enemy obstacles and defense lines. We suffered casualties and injuries.
With so many brothers, we finally rushed to the top of the pass. We forced the opponent's soldiers and horses to fight us in hand-to-hand combat, and we had the absolute upper hand. More than half of the opponent's soldiers and horses guarding the pass were killed or injured, and they were about to collapse. If it hadn't happened on the west slope.
Something unexpected happened. Someone ordered the withdrawal at this juncture, which resulted in our flanks being threatened. The enemy's western slope defenders came to reinforce us, so that if we had to retreat, we would have already taken the pass. Someone must be responsible for this responsibility, and someone
The people are so incompetent that they ruined the entire offensive plan, leading to the failure of today's success." Upon hearing this, General Battle of the Forward Cavalry Battalion also loudly echoed.
When these two senior generals came out to speak, a large number of mid-level generals immediately stood up to agree with the accusations, aiming directly at the generals leading the Xipo army.
They said that they were the main culprits for the failure of the attack and that they were greedy for life and afraid of death. For a while, they were noisy and noisy.
Alibai sneered at first, but after listening to these people arguing endlessly, he finally couldn't hold it anymore and started to protest.
"Hey hey hey, the general called me here to discuss what to do next, but it turned out that he was here to blame Sang Shuhuai for causing trouble for me. We are defeated today, do we need someone to take the blame? Don't you think I'm a good person? Bullying? You want to put this blame on me? It doesn't matter, I'm not afraid. You can arrange it for me however you want. I won't serve you, okay? I will leave with my subordinates and go to the big leader to apologize. Let the big leader Just chop off my head. Let’s see how capable you guys are. I’m holding you back, right? Then go attack on your own. I won’t wait for you anymore. My brothers will follow me. We are holding others back."
Alibai sneered and cursed, then raised his feet and walked out. More than a dozen generals under his command also stood up and cursed one by one: "That's right, let's just leave. I fought for my life all day long, but in the end I was missed." We are greedy for life and afraid of death. We won’t serve you anymore, we won’t serve you anymore.”
A group of people walked noisily outside the tent. Yarubuhua, who was sitting on the chair, finally couldn't sit still anymore. He sat up straight and said in a deep voice: "Brother Alibai, what are you doing? You really want to take your Are your subordinates leaving? That would really be like running away from the battlefield."
Alibai turned his head and sneered: "I've been told that you are so miserable anyway, so what about the multiple charges of escaping from battle? Let's see how capable you are."
Yalu Buhua frowned and said: "Brothers were defeated today and are in a bad mood. It is inevitable that their words will be inappropriate. Everyone has different opinions, so why do you care about it? I didn't say it was your fault."
Ali Bai sneered and said: "You still need to say it? You are deliberately allowing them to say these things, and you want to put the responsibility on my head so that you can absolve yourself of the responsibility in front of the big leader, right? Yalu Buhua, you and I know each other well. After all these years, don’t I understand you? As soon as you raise your butt, I will know what you fart and what shit you poop. If you want to pass the blame to me, don’t even think about it. I will go see the big leader and let him comment. Under today's situation, what's wrong with me ordering the withdrawal of troops? The whole mountain collapsed, and thousands of my brothers were buried in the mud and rocks. If it were you, wouldn't you withdraw your troops? I'm afraid you would be faster than rabbits. Quick. Bah!"
Yalu Buhua smacked his lips and said: "Brother Alibai, why are you so angry? I didn't say you shouldn't withdraw your troops, and you don't have to be so prejudiced against me. Sit down and let's discuss a solution. Things must be done right now. This is the end. If you leave like this, it will be difficult for us to explain. I am the general who leads the army, aren't you trying to destroy me? Our army also has military laws. If you really want to violate military laws, I am afraid that the big leader will not tolerate it. you."
Ali Bai shouted: "Don't scare me with military law, I won't accept your tricks.
.You dare to take me? Except for the big leader’s order, who dares to take me? I am here to help you, but you are playing tricks on me. Of course I am not happy. If you want to take the blame on me, don’t even think about it. I, Ali, will do it for nothing. I don’t want to play tricks on you, but I don’t allow anyone to play tricks on me. We’ve known each other for so many years, and I’m afraid you don’t know me well enough. I’ll blame you for every stupid thing your gang of bastards say, and so will you. Can’t tell clearly.”
Yalu was angry, but he also knew enough was enough. He really wanted to blame Ali Bai's early withdrawal of troops for today's defeat. That's why he instructed his generals to create this kind of public opinion. Although there was nothing wrong with Ali Bai's actions. , retreating the troops was inevitable in that situation, but Yalu was in a state of confusion at the moment. He was really in a dilemma, so he always wanted to find someone to take the blame and shirk responsibility. This person could only be Ali Bai.
But Alibai's words at this time were also clear. He fully understood what he was thinking. If he forced the blame again, Alibai had a violent temper, and he might really lead the army to leave. He didn't dare to really
He must use military law to arrest him. In that case, Alibai will order his men to fight with him. He is really capable of it.
"Brother Ali Bai, since you think so, then I will apologize to you on behalf of these brothers. If any of them talk nonsense again, I will be rude to them. Just calm down and let's discuss what to do next." Ya.
Lu Buhua Road.
Alibai snorted, turned back and sat down. If he really led the army to leave, he would really be running away from the battle. Even if he had a close relationship with the big leader, the big leader would not let him go. He would definitely die.
"Brother Alibai, brothers. I think we should all think about what we should do next. Today's defeat has hit us hard. I know that all brothers are angry and frustrated. But it is a fact that we have lost the battle.
.Victory and defeat are common things in military affairs, and winning and losing are actually normal. Everyone should cheer up and think about the next step." Yalu Buhua said in a deep voice.
"General, we have to get back this fight no matter what. The opponent's strength is only this. If they hadn't caused the landslide and scared the soldiers and horses on the west slope... this... we don't need to talk about it. In short, we have seen
Their real strength is nothing more than this. Although we have suffered many casualties today, we still have more than 50,000 soldiers and horses. They have also suffered heavy casualties, and their firearms are probably exhausted. We will attack them tomorrow.
, we will definitely win." Battle said in a deep voice.
"Yes, regroup and fight again tomorrow. Get back the ground." A group of generals echoed loudly.
"Fight like hell!" A cold voice interrupted their chatter, it was Ali Bai who said with a sneer on his face.
Everyone's eyes turned to Ali Bai, who repeated in a deep voice: "What a fight! I'm afraid you've all lost your mind. Are you all crazy if you pour yourself ecstasy soup under such circumstances?"
