Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 483 Counterattack
The branches that Huang Quan was fiddling with firewood stopped immediately, and at the same time, the generals who were whispering also stopped. Deng Ai, who had just finished offering his advice, also fell silent.

Only the bonfire was burning. Under the orange light, everyone's faces were full of surprise. They couldn't figure out who was talking nonsense there.

Everyone looked around, only to see a person walking out of the darkness.

"The enemy's army is exhausted, and the soldiers are discouraged. Why do the generals say to retreat?"

Huo Yi held Douhou in his arms, walked up to everyone, and said solemnly.

Liu Yin, who just said that he was retreating, had a displeased expression on his face. He snorted softly and said in dissatisfaction, "Huo Anding, don't you think that fighting with the army and setting up ambushes to scare the enemy is so simple?"

As he spoke, Liu Yin pointed to everyone present, and said: "Wu Dudu has been with the army for more than [-] years, and a certain soldier has been in the army for more than [-] years... We will fight the enemy in battle and never fall behind. We will fight the enemy today , Knowing his strength, you can say this. The general is still young and needs to be honed, so how can you talk nonsense."

In Liu Yin's words, she revealed a mockery towards Huo Yi.In his opinion, Huo Yi was young, less than 30 years old, he went out with the army in the Northern Expedition, won many honors, and was a friend of His Majesty, so he was able to serve as the general of Yijun and the prefect of An Ding.

In the past, I treated Huo Yi very courteously because he was a confidant of His Majesty.Today, he led the former army to fight, and many soldiers under his command were killed and injured, but he just sat and watched.After the army was defeated, he proposed to withdraw the army and stick to it, and he spoke decisively here. Isn't this a slap in the face?

Huo Yi was young and energetic, and he didn't care about the crowd. He said with a sneer, "If seniority is used to rank high and low in the army, how can the prince be ranked as the governor of Hanzhong, and the top of the four generals? In the army, the ability should be used to distinguish the high and low. , how can seniority be ranked based on qualifications?"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone's faces changed, and Xiang Yu's face, which he had been friends with, was also not very good-looking.Huo Yi's map gun is too big, and he mocks too many people.

The scar on Liu Yin's face from the arrow wound became distorted, obviously he was stimulated by Huo Yi's words.

Deng Ai added firewood to the bonfire, and said calmly: "What Huo Anding said is also true, but I don't know what the general did? Can he teach the soldiers?"

Deng Ai, who had always been on good terms with Liu Yin, would naturally not be used to Huo Yi. In terms of ability and military exploits, the younger generation should take him first.Not to mention, the first emperor once praised him as a general, and he was deeply loved by Zhuge Liang and Huang Quan, and he was a Nanyang scholar, so Huo Yi was not qualified to say this in front of him.

Seeing the quarrel between the generals, Huang Quan was very dissatisfied and threw the branches into the bonfire. The bonfire first dimmed, and then the flames swelled, swallowing the dry branches.

Huang Quan looked around at the crowd and said in a deep voice: "The enemy is in front of us. If you don't want to think of a way to defeat the enemy, how can you dare to say that you are a general in the army and have a salary of two thousand shi?"

Facing Huang Quan's scolding, everyone bowed their heads in silence, not daring to speak.

In the territory of the two prefectures of the Han Dynasty, each general won many battles. Naturally, most of the generals are arrogant, and those who have not made great achievements are difficult to convince others.In the past, when he was calm, he could still cover up one or two things in his heart, but when his emotions were uncontrollable, he would naturally blurt out.

For example, in the early years, Wei Yan looked down on Wang Ping a lot.It wasn't until Wang Ping beheaded Zhang Yun thousands of miles away and shocked Hexi that Wei Yan and the veterans in the army were convinced and treated Wang Ping equally.

Huang Quan pointed to the empty seat and said, "Shao, take your seat first, and we can talk about your views."

"promise!"

After Huo Yi sat down, Liao Hua coughed lightly, and said calmly, "Exactly. I don't know what Huo Anding said about the opportunity to fight, so what?"

Huo Yi collected his mind, cupped his hands and said, "General Chariots and Cavalry, although the enemy army is numerous and skilled, but looking at it with Yi, the enemy soldiers are tired. Although our army was defeated, the army was not injured, and the morale of the soldiers was not lost. Our army is still at ease, if we attack them now, we will be able to defeat the enemy with ease."

"Oh!" Huang Quan stroked his beard, pondered for a while, and said, "Is there any evidence, how can I prove it?"

Huo Yi recalled the details of the afternoon, and said: "To tell you the truth, general, when Yi led the army to support the army, the generals of the bandit army were tired, and the pace of chasing our army was slow and heavy. I don't know if the general noticed that his cavalry was chasing after him. Don’t dare to approach? It’s actually because the infantry is weak and it’s difficult to step forward to support, and the infantry can only travel more than ten miles in the afternoon.”

Huang Quan looked at Xiang Yu and asked, "Is there such a thing?"

Xiang Yu pondered for a while, then responded: "As Huo Anding said, I will lead the cavalry to the back of the palace to resist the Wei cavalry's attack. When I first chased, the Wei army chased after the tail. The Wei cavalry was brave. Our infantry used bows and crossbows. Shoot them and make them retreat; and at dusk, there are more Wei cavalry in the rear, seldom approaching, and the pawns are also invisible."

"General, it is not difficult to understand what the Wei army did. Some time ago, the Wei army besieged Wuzhangyuan for several days, and the soldiers were exhausted. Today's battle is the rest of the Wei army's rest. Our army retreats, the Wei army pursues, and the rest of the force is scattered. It is difficult for a brave man to move forward, and you can see his fatigue."

Speaking of excitement, Huo Yi stood up and begged for orders, and said.

"Earlier, if our army could sense its fatigue and come out in an ambush, the general would raise his troops to fight back, and he might be able to defeat the enemy. Now the opportunity has not been lost. The enemy army has returned to the camp to rest, and our army will attack from three sides at night. Can defeat the enemy. Yi is willing to lead an army and break the stronghold to defeat the enemy. I hope the general promises."

Huang Quan didn't answer, but stood up with his hands behind his back, pacing and thinking about what Huo Yi said.

Before the battle, Huang Quan was surprised that Cao Rui attacked Wuzhangyuan for several days, and even took the initiative to force him to fight in the wild.The reason why I withdrew my troops was largely due to the bravery of the Wei army, which did not see any signs of weakening, and it was also numerous.

But what I didn't expect was that Wei Jun's follow-up pursuit exhausted their physical strength, and they only chased for more than ten miles in the afternoon. If it wasn't for the fact that Wei Qi was behind and the scouts could not be dispatched, maybe they would have known it.

Huo Yi looked at Huang Quan who was silent, and said anxiously: "General, if the enemy army has spare strength, how can they be afraid of our suspicious soldiers, dare not attack them further, and make the army retreat. If our army can bravely surround them on three sides , with General Zuo’s ability, he will definitely raise his troops to join forces and attack from the rear. At that time, our army will be surrounded on all sides, and the enemy’s army will be exhausted. He will be defeated. I hope the general will not miss this opportunity!"

Hearing this, Huang Quan's eyes lit up, he stopped, and asked: "What General Yi Jun said is reasonable. I wonder if you generals have other opinions? Deng Zhengxi (Deng Ai), Dudu Wu?"

Wu Yi, Deng Ai, and Liu Ba are the highest-ranking military attaches in Huang Quan's army. Liu Ba is dead, so the opinion of the two is the most important.

Wu Yi's face was full of confusion. Given the current situation, it would be risky to besiege Cao Rui's army at night!
Deng Ai fiddled with the bonfire, lowered his head in thought, not knowing what he was thinking.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Huo Yi showed an indignant face, and said loudly: "Deng Zhengxi was not afraid of the high mountains and snow and cold when he attacked Longyou in the past, and broke the city. Now the higher the official rank, the higher the official rank, no one dares to risk himself!"

Hearing this, Deng Ai got up excitedly, glared at Huo Yi angrily, and stammered angrily, "Don't you dare, Cheqi~ General, Ai~ thinks he should be hit!"

"General Zhengxi?" Huang Quan asked, staring at Wu Yi.

Looking at Huang Quan's face, Wu Yi knew that Huang Quan wanted to raise his troops to attack, and asked himself that he just wanted to unite all businesses.

"How dare you!" Wu Yi responded.

"Bring a festival!"

"promise!"

Huang Quan took over Chi Jie, stared at everyone present, and said sharply: "In this case, the whole army will attack, and the troops will be divided into three groups, attacking and attacking the camp, and beheading those who retreat!"

"promise!"
