The main reason is that the current situation on the battlefield is also very obvious.
Even Hu Yanzhuo, the general who was good at conquering and fighting, was already timid.
If he continues to insist on his own way, what will happen if the entire army is wiped out?
What if he fails and is captured again?
Just when Tong Guan was in a state of confusion, Hu Yanzhuo, who was standing next to him, was almost going crazy with anxiety.
Because the situation on the battlefield usually changes rapidly.
Sometimes, a delay of even half a quarter of an hour may affect the balance of victory or defeat on the battlefield.
But now?
This Tong Guan spent more than a quarter of an hour just thinking about this problem.
After Tong Guan struggled for a long time, he finally made up his mind and prepared to retreat.
Hu Yanzhuo looked at his Commander Tong with a wry smile.
"It's too late to say anything now, because the enemy's vanguard is already only tens of meters away from our army."
After hearing this, Tong Guan looked forward intently.
Immediately, he saw a majestic general holding a snake spear that was eight feet long.
An immortal showed the way and pierced the throat of one of his own soldiers.
And the general's easy attack also completely opened the curtain of hand-to-hand combat between the two armies.
Since this Tong Guan belonged to the same faction as Cai Jing and Gao Qiu, he was able to bring out the most powerful sergeants in Tokyo every time he went on an expedition.
Just because those sergeants were powerful in combat and had relatively high quality per capita, the results Tong Guan had given Zhao Ji had always been quite impressive.
But no matter how fierce the fighting power of those sergeants was, in the end, they were no match for those brave men in Shuipo Liangshan.
Sometimes, it often takes two or three Song Dynasty soldiers to defeat a Liangshan warrior.
Over time.
The sergeants on the Liangshan side became more and more courageous as they fought, but on the other hand, the imperial army was slightly lacking in momentum.
At this time, Tong Guan, who was surrounded by many soldiers, saw more and more of his own soldiers dying.
Deep in his heart, the painful memory of being kidnapped by the Qingfeng Mountain bandits filled his mind unknowingly.
Ever since Tong Guan was captured alive by the Qingfeng Mountain bandits and suffered repeated beatings.
Unknowingly, it left him with a root cause of illness.
That is, almost every night, Tong Guan would have more or less nightmares.
And those nightmares, without exception, were all images of him being beaten and bullied wantonly by the Qingfeng Mountain Bandits.
As time went by, he almost collapsed.
And this time, the reason why Tong Guan repeatedly recommended himself in front of Zhao Ji as the commander-in-chief of this bandit suppression.
There are two main purposes. One is simply to avenge his last defeat at Qingfeng Village.
He also wanted to use this to explain to Zhao Ji that the reason why he was defeated last time was not because of his own command errors, but because his generals were all idiots.
If he can lead generals who are good at fighting and go out together, then he will not be defeated.
As for the second reason, it is also the most important one.
That is, Tong Guan wants to use this expedition to completely eliminate the nightmare in his heart.
By that time, if all the bandits on Shuibo Liang Mountain can be captured and brought back to the capital.
Then his mental illness may also be cured.
But what about now?
At this moment, Tong Guan's brain was filled with anger, despair, and helplessness.
Feeling extremely helpless, he wanted to escape on horseback.
But his move was stopped by Hu Yanzhuo who was standing not far away.
But when he saw Hu Yanzhuo, his eyes widened with disbelief on his face.
"Commander Tong, Marshal Tong, where are you going?"
Tong Guan glared at Hu Yanzhuo angrily.
"Now that the enemy's force is strong, I will retreat to the rear and take command."
"I will leave all matters on the battlefield to you, General Huyan."
"I trust you, General Huyan, and I believe you can definitely defeat the enemy directly."
Tong Guan's nonsense immediately made Hu Yanzhuo, who was standing in front of him, dumbfounded.
I couldn't help but think to myself, do you think I'm a fool?
If I can believe your nonsense, it will be only when the sun rises in the west.
At this moment, although Hu Yanzhuo had already cursed Tong Guan in front of him a thousand times or ten thousand times in his heart.
However, due to the relationship between superiors and subordinates, Hu Yanzhuo had no choice but to use as calm a tone as possible to persuade Tong Guan, who looked unhappy.
"Tong Dashai, you can't leave now."
"Now we all rely on Commander Tong to stabilize the morale of the army. If you leave at this time, the imperial army led by us will immediately turn from a slight decline into a major rout!"
"By then, we will definitely be defeated!"
As soon as Hu Yanzhuo finished speaking, an angry rebuke spewed out of Tong Guan's mouth.
"Hu Yanzhuo!"
"As I said just now, I will leave all the matters on the battlefield to you!"
"Don't you want to disobey me?"
After hearing this, Hu Yanzhuo quickly knelt down on one knee and saluted Tong Guan.
"How dare the general do this?"
"It's just that the general said everything is true."
"I hope the commander will think twice before acting."
But half an hour passed, and there was still no reply from that Tong Guan.
And when Hu Yanzhuo slowly raised his head and looked forward.
But where is the slightest trace of Tong Guan?
It turns out that Tong Guan is also a clever little kid.
After he saw that Hu Yanzhuo repeatedly refused to take over, the idea of running away gradually arose in his mind.
And it happened that at this moment, Hu Yanzhuo knelt down to plead, giving Tong Guan the opportunity to sneak away quietly.
Therefore, when Hu Yanzhuo raised his head, how could he possibly find the Tong Guan?
At this moment, Hu Yanzhuo was extremely helpless, what else could he do?
Besides leading the remaining sergeants to desperately resist the attack from Shuibo Liangshan, does he have any other choice?
Perhaps leading the sergeants to abscond is also an impossible solution.
But this is not suitable for Hu Yanzhuo.
One is that doing so will disgrace the illustrious name of his ancestor Hu's family generals and make his ancestors' brilliance fall into dust.
The second is that if he does this, unless he doesn't want to return to Beijing, his head will definitely be in danger after he returns to Beijing.
Although it was Tong Guan, the commander-in-chief of this expedition, who escaped first, but Tong Guan had a huge backer.
That was the famous Grand Master Cai Jing and Cai, truly one person was inferior to ten thousand people.
At that time, as long as Cai Jing protects Tong Guan, Tong Guan has not been dismissed from office. It is estimated that he will only be able to recuperate at home for a few months before he can stand up in the court again.
But what about Hu Yanzhuo?
What's the backing?
Although the fame of his ancestors spread far and wide, these did not actually have much practical effect for Hu Yanzhuo.
So at this moment, the only thing he could do was to lead his sergeants to resist this wave of attacks from Shuibo Liangshan.
As for other things, we can only think about it after the war.
