Comprehensive martial arts: Summon the thunder and lightning general, I will rule the world

Therefore, at this point, there seems to be no need to continue arguing with Niu Gao.

The most important question for me now is what should I do at this time?
Attack the large army behind? This is difficult to do, and Wu Qi will definitely use it to contain them.

Retreat? But at this time, if we want to retreat, where should we retreat to? Now the food and grass in the camp are only about six or seven days, which is not enough time to convey the message to Zhao Kuangyin.

By the time the news reached Zhao Kuangyin, they would probably have starved to death!
There is no hope for food and fodder!
Even Yue Fei felt a sense of despair at this moment!
Tired, destroy it!
There is a huge difference in comprehensive national strength between the Ming Dynasty and the Song Dynasty.

The military strength of the Song Dynasty was too weak. Even though Yue Fei's army was able to suppress Tolui's army before, Yue Fei himself knew that if he were to face Kublai Khan alone, although he would not suffer a crushing defeat, it would be difficult to defeat Kublai Khan.

Of course, Yue Fei didn't think that he would be like Zhao Kuangyin, who directly defeated the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Song Dynasty.

To be honest, when Yue Fei learned that Han Shizhong had defeated an army of more than 300,000, he was stunned.

But at that time, Yue Fei felt that there was still room for maneuver.

Moreover, although Han Shizhong's abilities were comparable to those boasted generals under Kublai Khan, the gap between him and Kublai Khan was still too big.

Even Yue Fei himself thought that he should be similar to Kublai Khan.

As long as the troops are of similar strength, Yue Fei cannot do anything to Kublai Khan, but Yue Fei also believes that Kublai Khan cannot do anything to him. If the two sides fight, they will probably end up in a lose-lose situation.

Yue Fei had no confidence that he could defeat Kublai Khan, but he was also confident that he would not be defeated.

As long as Zhao Kuangyin doesn't hold back, it will be fine.

Afterwards, Zhao Kuangyin personally led his troops to fight against Kublai Khan, but Kublai Khan broke through his camp and nearly 30 troops under his command were wiped out.

After knowing this information, Yue Fei fell silent. He was indeed very powerful and had gained a lot of advantages when facing Torre, but when compared with the situation on Zhao Kuangyin's side, Yue Fei said that he was just a pig teammate and he really couldn't lead him!
In addition, after Kublai Khan entered the territory of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin lost another 10 troops. The Song Dynasty lost a total of 70 troops at the hands of Kublai Khan.

If he were given an army of 70, Yue Fei was confident that he could at least save the Song Dynasty, even if he didn't defeat Wu Qi.

Even if Wu Qi sent an army of one million, Yue Fei would not be afraid.

After all, they are playing at home!
Together with his own Yue Family Army, there are almost one million troops in total.

Yue Fei said that if he had so many troops, why would he need to worry about the current situation?
But now, with no food or grass left, it is very difficult to fight the Ming Dynasty directly.

Yue Fei lost hope for a moment, but Yue Fei was Yue Fei after all, and he quickly cheered up.

If I collapse at this moment, then the entire army will collapse, and there will be no need to fight this war.

Yue Fei's expression kept changing.

There is no need to worry about food and fodder.

Yue Fei no longer has any hope anyway!
Zhao Kuangyin could not be counted on for the time being. As for the granary in the rear that was robbed, it was not certain whether they could attack it. Even if they did, given the other party's behavior, they might directly burn the granary.

Now they were facing a situation where, apart from retreating, there seemed to be only one way out. Yue Fei thought of this and looked at Niu Gao who was standing nearby and asked, "Niu Gao, if I were to lead my soldiers to die now, would you stop me?"

Niu Gao was also stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he laughed heartily and said, "No, since you did this, General, there must be a deep meaning behind it.

The general treats us like brothers, Niu Gao, I believe that at this time, the general will not send us to death for no reason."

After hearing Niu Gao's words, Yue Fei sighed silently. Niu Gao trusted him so much, so should he still do this?

Niu Gao trusted him, and the soldiers behind him also trusted him, so should he send them to death for some obsession in his heart?
Yue Fei's heart was constantly changing, and at this time, Yue Fei thought of another possibility.

If I surrender with them and then die to express my guilt, can I save these soldiers?
Just as Niu Gao said, he also regarded the more than 200,000 Yue Family Army as brothers.

Of course, not everyone is his brother, but Yue Fei can also call out the names of most of the team leaders.

Asking Yue Fei to remember the names of hundreds of thousands of people was really a bit difficult for him.

Not to mention Yue Fei, even someone like Huang Rong, who has almost instant memory, cannot remember the names of so many people.

But Yue Fei had done his best to do so, and he could be considered the general who treated his soldiers the best.

Their daily food and clothing are the same as those of the lower-level soldiers.

But at this moment, Yue Fei fell into self-doubt. Was he fighting for the belief in his heart, or to protect these soldiers and prevent them from dying meaninglessly?
If I chose the latter, I would probably never be able to go to war in my life.

However, compared with the safety of these soldiers, whether he can continue to lead troops to fight is not an important matter.

The worst that can happen is death!
Yue Fei looked towards Wu Qi and sighed softly, "Wu Qi, if it were you, what would you do at this moment?"
"General, do we need to gather manpower and fight the Ming army to the death?" Niu Gao hurriedly asked Yue Fei at this time.

Since the food and grass were gone and there was no way to get them back, it seemed that the only thing they could do at this moment was to fight to the death with Wu Qiyu.

Although they might be doomed to die at that time, it also brought out the blood and spirit of Yue Family Army.

"Niu Gao, do you think reputation is more important, or is it more important to protect the people who trust you?" Yue Fei suddenly asked again out of the blue.

Niu Gao was silent for a while after hearing this. Reputation is of course important!
Even in Niu Gao's view, reputation is more important than life.

But protecting those who trust you?
Niu Gao was not very clear about this point, but there was one thing that he was clear about, that is, the general seemed to have different ideas.

"Some things are hard to decide. Death is not hard sometimes. What is hard is to face failure calmly after paying a huge price!" Yue Fei murmured softly. He had made a decision, but once he did that, his family...

Thinking of his family still in the capital, Yue Fei's eyes were filled with deep sorrow.

In order to prevent Zhao Kuangyin from doubting him, Yue Fei sent all his family members to the capital, under the pretext that they would receive the best protection in the imperial city. (End of this chapter)
