Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1602
Chapter 1600: Withdrawal before the battle
Since no specific trace of the Qi army can be found, it is only a guess after all that the Qi army came across the sea.

Of course, it is impossible for Li Jing to overthrow all the previous battle plans just because of a guess. Such a reason cannot convince the whole army, so the decisive battle will continue tomorrow.

The next day, Li Jing led Ran Min, Tai Shici, Lu Junyi, Lin Chong, Qin Ming and other generals to the agreed battlefield with the whole army.

Halfway through the journey, a spy suddenly came to report: "Qi report to the prefect, a fisherman in Yi'an County went fishing this morning, and found a fleet by accident. The fisherman immediately reported to the official. It has been confirmed that it is the fleet of the Qi State Navy. .”

"What? Zhu Tianpeng really came across the sea with the navy?"

Ran Min said in shock, he couldn't believe it was true.

"how can that be?"

Lu Junyi also looked unacceptable.

This news was like a bolt from the blue to Qin Jun.

Even if the morale of the Qin army is high, there is still a lot of pressure for an army of less than [-] to fight against [-].

Now that there are [-] more enemy troops, and there are poisonous snakes that may appear behind them at any time, how should we fight this battle?
"Master Taishou, why don't we divide our troops? Separate some of our troops to guard against Zhu Tianpeng's navy?" Tai Shici asked.

Li Jing fell into silence and didn't speak, but Ran Min said in a deep voice: "The Qi army is notoriously difficult to deal with. If the number of troops allocated is less than [-], it will definitely not be able to resist, and our army has fewer troops than Wang Mang. If there are so many troops, if we allocate so many troops, we will not be able to carry them on the frontal battlefield."

After hearing this, all the generals fell silent. After all, if the frontal battlefield collapses, it will be a real defeat, and there is no way to reverse it.

"Oh, it would be great if we could find out about Qi Jun's whereabouts sooner." Qin Ming said with annoyed expression.

If it had been discovered last night, the Qin army could at least have retreated overnight, but now a decisive battle is about to take place. Even if the Qin army wanted to withdraw, Wang Mang would not be able to let the Qin army withdraw.

"Zhu Tianpeng deliberately led the navy to float on the sea, in order not to be exposed. If the fisherman hadn't happened to meet him, Zhu Tianpeng would have to wait until the decisive battle between our army and Wang Mang before Zhu Tianpeng would take the initiative to expose himself." Ran Ran Min sighed.

Can't beat and can't escape, this is the biggest problem Qin Jun is currently facing.

Song Jiang's Liangshan Army was also driven to a dead end by Li Jing in the same way, but he did not expect that the Qin Army was also pushed to the edge of a cliff by Zhu Tianpeng.

Seeing that the generals were arguing and arguing but they couldn't come to a conclusion, and Li Jing was still in deep thought and ignored everyone, Tai Shici gritted his teeth, stood up and asked for a fight: "Master Taishou, please give the last general four thousand soldiers and horses." , the final general is willing to swear to the death to block Zhu Tianpeng, and only dividing four thousand troops should have little impact on the frontal battlefield."

"Ziyi, you are crazy. Zhu Tianpeng himself is a top expert. He also has Xia Luqi and Wang Yanzhang under his command, as well as [-] elite sailors who can cross the sea. How could it be possible with you alone and [-] soldiers and horses?" Block it?" Qin Ming said.

"Is there any other way?"

Tai Shici asked back, Qin Ming was speechless for a moment.

Running is impossible anyway, although the possibility of splitting up and losing is high, this is the only way now, after all, no splitting up is sure to lose.

"The final general wishes to issue a military order." Tai Shici gritted his teeth.

Li Jing, who hadn't said a word for a long time, suddenly raised his head, wiped off the sweat from his forehead, looked at Tai Shici and said, "Stand back, Ziyi, I don't agree to your request."

"But……"

Li Jing interrupted Tai Shici, and said to himself: "Zhu Tianpeng came across the sea this time, which exceeded everyone's expectations. Now our army has been tricked by Zhu Tianpeng. The simple way to deal with such a simple division of troops, Wang Mang and Zhu Tianpeng must have guessed it, so he must have a countermeasure.

At this time, the enemy is dark and we are clear, and the battle will undoubtedly lead to defeat. "

"Then what should we do? Could it be possible to withdraw the troops?" Qin Ming was annoyed.

A gleam flashed in Li Jing's eyes, and he asked back, "Who said you can't withdraw?"

"Uh, this..."

Qin Ming opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

The rest of the generals looked at Li Jing in surprise, and Tai Shici asked, "Master Taishou, is it difficult for you to withdraw your troops safely?"

"I thought of one, but there are risks."

Hearing what Li Jing said, all the generals showed ecstasy, and the original panic scene was swept away, as if they had found their backbone.

"But the prefect, if we retreat at this time, Zhu Tianpeng will not be able to sneak attack our army, and I'm afraid he will shift his target to Beihai."

A trace of worry flashed in Ran Min's eyes, and he said worriedly: "Zhu Tianpeng's boat is much faster than ours. I am afraid that the North Sea has already been breached by the Qi army before we retreat to the North Sea."

Ran Min's words were right on point. Zhu Tianpeng came across the sea, and it was impossible to make a trip in vain. If Li Jing's main force ran away, he would definitely go to Beihai, after all, Beihai couldn't escape.

Although Li Jing left [-] defenders for Beihai, the defenders were two civil servants. It was almost impossible to defend Beihai under the attack of Zhu Tianpeng and the Qi army's elite.

One second, the willows are dark and the flowers are bright, but the next second the flowers are withered.

All the generals were a little desperate. They found that what they were facing now was simply a dead end.

If you start a war, you will lose. If you withdraw your troops, Beihai will fall, and sooner or later you will still lose.

But a trace of happiness flashed in Li Jing's eyes, and he said meaningfully: "Didn't you realize that there is one person missing?"

All the generals were a little confused, so Ran Min thoughtfully, looked around for a week, and exclaimed: "Jintai, Brother Jintai is gone."

"Hey, it's true, I was so busy in the decisive battle that I didn't notice..."

"Prefect, where is General Jintai?" Lu Junyi asked.

"In the news sent back last night, although no trace of the Qi army was found, I always feel that there is something wrong with it. After all, if Zhu Tianpeng's fleet did not dock, our army's spies would never have found it.

Therefore, just to be on the safe side, I ordered General Jintai to lead two thousand cavalry to return to Beihai overnight, just in case.

Even if our army loses [-] soldiers and horses, it will have no effect on the whole, but the [-] more soldiers and horses on the Beihai side, and the words of General Jintai, will make Beihai City stronger. "

Hearing what Li Jing said, all the generals were overjoyed, and Qin Ming even shouted: "Master Taishou, you really have the foresight."

"All right."

Li Jing interrupted the flattery of the generals, and said in a deep voice: "It is too risky to start a war at this time, we must retreat as soon as possible, as for how to retreat, we will talk about it on the way.

Send the order down, and the whole army retreats. "

"promise."

Following Li Jing's order, the [-] troops marching towards the battlefield, Li Jing turned around and evacuated in an orderly manner.
