Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1609 Death?Abandoned?
Chapter 1607: Death?Abandoned?
Shortly after digging the Yellow River and flooding the Qi army, Li Jing set fire to the entire forest and set fire to the Northern Han coalition army.

Although he didn't do his best this time and only wiped out nearly [-] enemy troops, the Qin army still admired Li Jing greatly.

After the water attack, it was followed by the fire attack, and they all succeeded.

He can counter-calculate his opponent while escaping, and almost wiped out the enemy. It takes the smartest brain to think of so many tricks in such a short period of time.

Originally, because they retreated before the battle and were chased away by Wang Mang all the way, the whole Qin army was a little panicked, but after the fire attack, the whole army was not so worried, and they firmly believed that Li Jing would be able to bring them back to Beihai.

Everyone's trust moved Li Jing very much, but his heart was not as calm as he said, because he knew that the biggest crisis was coming soon.

Not long after reuniting with the army, Li Jing led the army to continue to retreat, and at the same time summoned all the generals, and all the generals were laughing and laughing, as if they all thought that the war was over here, and they would definitely return to Beihai safely .

"The war is not over yet, how can you be so careless?" Li Jing scolded, frowning.

The generals stopped laughing when they heard this, but Qin Ming laughed and said, "Prefect, there is a forest of fire blocking, how can Wang Mang chase after him? When the fire is extinguished, our army has already returned to Beihai."

"It would be great if that's the case."

Li Jing sighed, and then said seriously: "Wang Mang can't be stopped by a mere forest of fire."

As he said that, Li Jing spread out the map, pointed to a corner on it, and said: "Although it takes dozens of miles to go this way, if it's all cavalry chasing us, we can still catch up with our army.

I guess Wang Mang must have assembled all the cavalry under his command, and in half a day at most, the cavalry of the Northern Han Dynasty will catch up. "

"what?"

All the generals exclaimed in surprise. They all thought that Wang Mang would not be able to catch up with the forest of fire, but they didn't expect that even after burning the forest for more than ten miles, they still couldn't stop the enemy's pursuit.

"Master Taishou, since you already guessed that the enemy army will catch up, why don't you set up an ambush on this road?" Qin Ming asked suspiciously.

Li Jing shook his head speechlessly, and didn't answer immediately, but Ran Min replied instead: "Look carefully at this terrain, it's flat, how do you set up an ambush?"

"It's...it's true."

A look of embarrassment flashed across Qin Ming's face, and then he seemed to recall something, and said, "But even if the Beihai cavalry came, there were only more than [-] cavalry, and our army has fifty-five thousand cavalry. No?"

"That's right, it's just right to come, and wipe out all these ten thousand riders." Shi Jin said excitedly.

But Tai Shici retorted: "How to eliminate it? In this flat terrain, unless the enemy takes the initiative to fight our army, it is impossible for our army to catch up."

"The cavalry of the Northern Han Dynasty chased after us, didn't they just want to destroy our army? How could they not fight our army?" Shi Jin asked in surprise.

"The cavalry in Beihai don't need to fight our army decisively, they just need to slow down our army's marching speed until Wang Mang's army catches up." Tai Shici said in a deep voice.

"So, it's still not that simple for our army to return to Beihai?"

Qin Ming looked surprised, but Ran Min and the other generals did not answer, but the meaning was self-evident.

Li Jing saw that everyone was talking about each other, and he had almost explained the situation facing the Qin army, so he added: "I expected this before the retreat, and this is what I have to bear in the fire attack." risks of.

It was just that at the time, I thought that if the fire attack could be successful, our army would turn defeat into victory at once, and all crises would naturally be eliminated virtually.

It's a pity that Huo Gong failed to do its best in the end, and now our army must also suffer backlash. "

After finishing speaking, Li Jing raised his head, only to find that everyone was looking at him.

"Master Taishou, just tell us what to do, we all follow your orders." Tai Shici said seriously.

"Well, we all listen to you." All the generals said in unison.

Hearing this, a trace of guilt flashed in Li Jing's eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "Once the Beihai cavalry catches up, it will be almost impossible for our army to retreat back to Beihai smoothly, so we must restrain them before then."

"How to contain it? Our army can't catch up with the cavalry." Qin Ming asked.

"Only the cavalry can catch up with the cavalry."

Speaking of this, Li Jing's eyes flashed with pain, and then he walked up to Ran Min, put his hands on his shoulders, and said with great difficulty: "General Ran Min, whether our army can successfully withdraw to Beihai depends entirely on you." The Huben camp is here."

Ran Min was taken aback, but before he could speak, the generals exploded.

"What? Let the three thousand tiger camps go to fight tens of thousands of Northern Han Jingqi? This is simply going to die."

"Yes, among the cavalry of the Northern Han Dynasty, there were not only Liaodong iron cavalry, but also Youzhou iron cavalry. How could it be possible to stop them with only three thousand tiger and cardinal battalions?"

"Yeah yeah……"

"enough."

After Ran Min yelled, all the generals stopped immediately, and Ran Min said to Li Jing: "I, Huben Camp, will accept this task."

Li Jing's eyes were full of guilt, and he said: "This is a tough battle, even if it is as elite as the Tiger's Battalion, I'm afraid there will be heavy casualties, but our army has no other choice.

If the Huben Camp does not go, the [-] troops will not be able to return to Beihai, and the entire army may even be wiped out. Therefore, for the sake of the entire army, the Huben Camp can only be sacrificed. "

Ran Min said very calmly: "As long as the whole army can be kept, the general will accept any price."

Ran Min still understands the principle of abandoning the car to protect the handsome man. If the handsome man is gone, the game will be lost, so why do you need the car?
Therefore, from Ran Min's point of view, even if the Huben Camp is really regarded as an abandoned child, as long as the main force can be kept, the sacrifice of the Huben Camp is worthwhile.

As for your own safety?Ran Min is not worried about this.

The big deal is that when the time comes, he will come back alone. If Ran Min really wants to run for his life, who else in this world can keep him?
Hearing what Ran Min said, Li Jing also breathed a sigh of relief. After all, Ran Min is the commander of the Huben Camp, and he has a previous record of disobedience to military orders.

Therefore, if Ran Min is unwilling to go, even Li Jing, the general, cannot force Ran Min to submit.

"General Ran Min, please rest assured. Although this mission is dangerous, as long as it is done properly, casualties can be minimized and we can return."

As he said that, a glimmer of light flashed in Li Jing's eyes, and he said with a sneer, "If I'm not mistaken, Wang Mang should gather all the strong generals into the cavalry to strengthen the combat power of the Northern Han cavalry.

So this time, Tai Shici, Qin Ming, Lin Chong, Lu Junyi, Hu Yanzhuo, Shi Jin, Lu Zhishen, Chao Gai, Yan Qing, you all acted together with General Ran Min. "

"No." All the generals shouted in unison.
