"Look at the nonsense you are all boasting about, saying that you will regroup and fight again. I'm afraid you are all going crazy. If you fight again, you will win? Who can guarantee it? Who can guarantee that your opponent will have no firearms in his hands? Have you seen it?
Or did they tell you personally? If we fight again tomorrow and the other side comes out with more powerful firearms, which one of you will stand up and take responsibility?" Alibai glared at the group of generals and asked sharply.
A group of generals looked at each other speechless. Yes, who can guarantee that the enemy will have no firearms? Can they win if they fight again tomorrow? These people just don't want to be called pustules, so they shout randomly to embolden themselves.
.In fact, this is not helpful in combat at all.
"Brother Alibai, according to your wishes, what should we do now?" Yalu Buhua said with a frown.
Alibai looked at Yalu Buhua and sneered: "General Yalu Buhua, don't ask questions knowingly. You know in your heart that this battle is no longer possible, you just refuse to say it. You hope that this will come from
If it comes from my mouth, then it doesn’t matter if I say it.”
"Brother Alibai, why can't I understand what you are saying?" Yalu Buhua said slightly embarrassed. He was a little embarrassed because Alibai had understood his inner thoughts. He really hoped that the suggestion of retreating from the army would come from Alibai's mouth.
By telling him, Wanyan Aguda would have a reason to evade the blame. He could say that he was forced by Ali Bai to retreat. But Ali Bai obviously saw through his thoughts, and he could only pretend not to know.
The past is blurry.
Alibai did not dwell on this matter, and continued in a deep voice: "Of course you understand. You and I both know very well that this time the attack on Funiu Mountain was really a trap. The Luoyan Army
We are obviously ready to intercept us here. This is already a fact. We have 70,000 soldiers and horses. Yesterday we suffered four to five thousand casualties and today we have tens of thousands casualties. We have lost too many men. If we fight again tomorrow, we don’t know how many casualties we will lose.
How much damage will be done? Do you really want to fight to the death with these Luoyan troops? Then even if you win, what's the difference between losing and losing?"
Yalu Buhua was silent, holding the beard on his chin and twirling it unconsciously. After a while, he softly said: "Brother Ali Bai, for this reason, I naturally don't need to be secretive. This time we seem to be really
I fell into a trap. I did have the idea of retreating. But you also know that I am riding a tiger and it is difficult to get off. I issued a military order in front of the big leader to conquer Funiu Mountain. Now that there are so many casualties, I
But I ordered the troops to withdraw, how can I explain it to the chief?"
Alibai rolled his eyes and looked at Yalu Buhua for a while, then said in a deep voice: "Yalu Buhua, let's take a step to talk."
Yalu Buhua nodded and stood up, walking into the inner tent. Alibai followed behind him. The two stood still in the inner tent, and Alibai said in a deep voice: "Yarlu Buhua, no matter if you are pretending or not,
I'm not in the mood to play charades with you. Our withdrawal now is called retreating at the opportunity to save most of the troops. You also know the big leader's thoughts. If the victory of this battle is exchanged for a large number of casualties, the big leader will never be willing to do so.
. The premise for us to send troops to attack the mountain is that the big leader believes that we can crush Funiu Mountain without too many casualties. But in this situation, do you think that even if we win, the 70,000 of us will be able to survive in the end?
How many people are left? Arrive
You can't explain it then. I know the big leader. Although he has a tough temper, he may not want to admit that he fell into Lin Jue's scheme. But if you can take the initiative to withdraw your troops and save your troops, the big leader will be grateful to you from the bottom of his heart. Maybe
I will scold you a few words, but I am happy in my heart, let alone your military order. I will not pursue it at all."
Yalu Buhua frowned and said thoughtfully: "What you said makes sense, but, but... who can guarantee it?"
Alibai said angrily: "No one dares to give you a guarantee. If you are really afraid of death, and you really have to fight for the lives of those brothers, it is up to you. I'm afraid that in the end you won't be able to retreat even if you want to."
Let me tell you the truth, I am really scared of that Lin Jue right now. We are no match for him at all. Haven’t you noticed? Before he appeared, everything went smoothly for us and we were sure to win every battle. Ever since that guy appeared.
After that, nothing went smoothly for us. How many soldiers and horses of my army have been eaten by him? Eighty thousand, if not one hundred thousand, right? This time, he deliberately exposed his flaws and let the big leader fall into his trap.
.I don’t believe that Lin Jue didn’t have other arrangements. You know? I’m very panicked now. I’m afraid that what we have to face is not just the few soldiers and horses in front of us. If there are other soldiers and horses heading here.
If reinforcements come, we are really going to lose our lives here."
Yalu Buhua was startled, took a breath and said, "Other soldiers and horses? What other soldiers and horses?"
Ali Bai said: "Don't forget, in the battle outside Bianliang City, although the northwest army of the Great Zhou Dynasty was defeated, it still had tens of thousands of troops. So far they have not surrendered to Lu Zhongtian. Even if it were not them, the Southern Prefecture of the Great Zhou Dynasty
Where are the soldiers in the palace? After so many days, the soldiers in the south of the Great Zhou Dynasty must have gathered to the north for reinforcements. Don’t forget, they now have a new emperor. If they are loyal to their new emperor,
Is it possible to send troops to show loyalty?"
Yalu Buhua said no more. Alibai's words made him break out in a cold sweat. If Alibai's words came true, these tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of his were a piece of meat that Lin Jue had tricked into coming here, and they were going to be kept here alive.
Eaten. Lin Jue was trapped on a ten-mile long hill. If he could really strategize and arrange this poisonous plan, then this person would be too terrible.
Regardless of whether it is true or not, Yalu Buhua has decided to withdraw his troops immediately. As long as there is even the slightest possibility, he will be destroyed here.
"Brother Alibai, you are right. I am not as good as you, and you think better than me. I have decided that no matter what the big leader does to me afterwards, I will order the withdrawal of troops. I can't let my brothers die here, even if
There is only the slightest possibility, and I can't take risks. I can't take the wealth that the big leader has saved so hard, and I can't risk the lives of my brothers. It's been decided, tomorrow morning. No, we will withdraw our troops tonight, what do you think?"
Yalu Buhua said in a deep voice.
Ali Bai nodded and said: "I completely agree. Brother Yalu Buhua, don't worry, if the big leader blames you, I will speak for you. Although you and I don't usually get along, we are brothers who fight together after all.
No matter how noisy, noisy, noisy, we can still work together on important matters."
Yalu Buhua nodded heavily, stretched out his hand to hold Ali Bai's hand and said, "Good brother, you are better than me."
…
At midnight, ten thousand
It was all silent. At this moment, on a hillside among the dark mountains northeast of Fangcheng Mountain Pass, Lin Hu and a thousand Luoyan Army soldiers were sleeping soundly in a temporary shelter built among the shrubs and shrubs.
In the past two days, Lin Hu and his soldiers had been lurking on the hill next to the official road. For two consecutive days, they had watched the Jurchens' attacks from a distance. The Jurchens' attacks were very fierce.
Although the distance is far on the hill, the telescope can see clearly.
Lin Hu clearly saw all the battles on the first and second days. When the battle on the second day was going on, Lin Hu was quite worried about Gao Muqing and others, because he saw that the opponent had fully advanced.
When it came time to break through the mountain passes and hillsides, the number of swarms of bees and grenades was not enough to stop the opponent. Lin Hu was almost ready to lead his people back for rescue. But in the end, the scene of the landslide and the ground cracking made Lin Hu overjoyed.
After the opponent fell short and retreated, Lin Hu's forehead was dripping with sweat and his whole body was exhausted, as if he had experienced this thrilling battle in person.
After dark, Lin Hu and others ate some dry food, drank some cold water and went to sleep. They had been hiding on the hillside for the past two days and could not eat or sleep well. But tonight, after witnessing their own victory, everyone was in a happy mood.
So I slept very soundly.
"General Lin, General Lin, wake up, wake up." A burst of hurried calls woke up Lin Hu. Lin Hu hurriedly got up and got out of the bushes. Several Luoyan Army soldiers who were on duty at the top of the mountain were hurrying to
Walk closer.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Lin Hu asked hurriedly.
"There is movement in the enemy camp. We saw movement in the enemy camp. It seems that soldiers and horses are mobilizing." Several soldiers quickly reported back.
Lin Hu was startled and waved his hand: "Let's go and have a look."
The Luoyan Army soldiers who were sleeping in the surrounding trees were also woken up and rushed out. They followed Lin Hu and climbed to the top of the mountain. Soon after, everyone came to the top of the mountain shrouded in stars. There was a big rock on the top of the mountain, which was
At the highest point of the hill, Lin Hu jumped on the rock and looked towards the Jurchen camp in the west mountain col. Sure enough, he saw torches waving in the Jurchen camp, soldiers and horses coming and going, a busy scene.
"What are they doing? Why are they making such a fuss in the middle of the night?" Lin Hu frowned.
"I don't know, do they want to attack the mountain in the middle of the night?" A captain named Wang Huai beside him frowned.
"It's possible that they must have suffered a loss and wanted to make a sneak attack in the middle of the night." Someone agreed.
Lin Hu thought for a moment, slowly shook his head and said: "It's unlikely. If they want to make a sneak attack, why are they so loud? Shouldn't they act quietly? Why are they so noisy? Are they not afraid of being discovered by our defenders on the top of the mountain? They probably don't want to make a sneak attack."
Everyone suddenly understood and nodded one after another: "That's true. How can anyone carry out a sneak attack with a torch? If you want to make a sneak attack, you should sneak up the mountain in the dark."
"Then what are they doing? They are neighing and neighing in the middle of the night. Are they having convulsions?" Li Dapeng, another school captain, asked doubtfully.
Lin Hu lowered his head and thought for a moment, then his expression suddenly changed and he said in a deep voice: "Could it be that... they are trying to escape?"
