The last three kingdoms

Chapter 729
This mad attack lasted for three days and three nights, and Qi Wannian was finally exhausted and unable to hold on anymore.

However, the defense of the Shu army showed no signs of slack at all. The vans still stood there, like a towering mountain, no matter how hard the Di people tried their best, they could not overcome it.

On the entire battlefield, the corpses were intertwined, and the scene was extremely tragic. Every time the Di people took a step forward, they could no longer touch the ground. They were completely stepping on the corpses of their compatriots. Too many corpses also affected the speed of the Di soldiers' attack. , Under the never-ending rain of arrows from the Shu army, countless Di soldiers fell down.

From the initial enthusiasm to the later anger, until the present helplessness, Qi Wannian's emotions have been ups and downs during these three days. No matter what methods he tried, no matter what tactics he used, the Shu army always put on This tortoise and large formation, which remained unchanged to respond to all changes, made the Di Army's repeated attacks come to naught.

Now Qi Wannian has nothing to do. Commanding the Di soldiers to attack day and night, Qi Wannian is physically and mentally exhausted, but he is unwilling to give up. He always feels that the Shu army is already at the end of its strength. Victory can be achieved.

"I want to report to the chief, the casualties of our army have already exceeded half, and if the fight continues, the army will be wiped out." Qi Wannian's Central Military Department reminded him.

"What?" Qi Wannian was startled, his eyes widened and he asked, "Say it again?"

The general of the Central Military Department had a depressed expression on his face. It stands to reason that his voice was already loud enough. He was afraid that Qi Wannian would not be able to hear his own voice amidst the noise of the Wanjun, so he deliberately increased the volume. Qi Wannian still didn't hear clearly, so he had no choice but to repeat it again.

"More than half the loss? You mean our troops have already lost more than 5000 casualties?" Qi Wannian stared at him in disbelief.

The general of the Central Military Department said in a low voice: "It's just a preliminary statistic... The specific number has yet to be verified, but it should not be lower than this number..." The General of the Central Military Department saw that Qi Wannian's expression was not good, so he had to say cautiously, Now the combined number of Di Army's dead and wounded must have exceeded half.

Qi Wannian didn't say a word anymore, with shock written all over his face. Although he knew that the Di Army had already paid a heavy price in casualties, more than half of the loss was beyond his expectations. Twenty-five thousand troops, that's not it. A small number, even if these people are piled together, at least there is a hill high.

However, Qi Wannian couldn't admit that the scene of corpses strewn across the field was indeed very shocking. The entire Pingchuan, north of Huangbai City, was completely covered by the corpses of Di people. Qi Wannian had fought for so many years and won the battle. I have fought and lost battles, but I have never fought a battle with heavy casualties like today.

For a moment, Qi Wannian's eyes were dull and he was speechless.

Xu Fang said at this time: "Boss, this is probably a trap set by Liu Yin."

"Why do you say that?" Qi Wannian turned his head away.

Xu Fang said: "Chief, if you think about it, the battle has been fought for three days. It stands to reason that the Shu army's cavalry has had enough time to return to help, but the Shu army, whether it is Xinping or Feng Yi, has always There is no movement, this is completely unreasonable. The reason why Liu Yin did this is because he has no fear. With these special chariots, he can completely block the attack of our army's cavalry. I believe that Liu Yin is this Deliberately set up traps to lure our army to attack, killing and wounding our army's vital forces. Chief, since Liu Yin is fully prepared, there will never be problems such as the shortage of bows and arrows in a short period of time. If our army continues to attack Going down, it is likely to wipe out all the troops, big boss, we can't fight any more!"

Qi Wannian pondered, trying to figure out Xu Fang's words, and had to say that Xu Fang's analysis was sound. Judging from the current situation, it was indeed what Xu Fang said. Set up camp and lure the Di army to attack.If the infantry took the initiative to attack the cavalry, I'm afraid they wouldn't even smell flattery, but if the cavalry took the initiative to attack, the infantry could counterattack while waiting for work, effectively killing the cavalry.

Liu Yin's tactics were like this, deliberately showing weakness to the enemy, asking Qi Wannian to attack with all his strength, so as to achieve the goal of killing the enemy before the battle.

After experiencing such tragic casualties, Qi Wannian finally understood Liu Yin's true purpose, but even if he knew it now, it would be too late for him to regret. There is no chance to step on horseback and gallop across the prairie.

After learning from the pain, Qi Wannian finally ordered to stop the attack. He also knew very well that if he continued to fight, he might have to hand over all the 5 people here. The dead are gone, and he still has to think about the living. No matter how deep the resentment towards Liu Yin is, Qi Wannian has to let go of it at this moment. This hatred and resentment can only be avenged when there is a chance in the future.

"Retreat! All retreat!" Qi Wannian gave the order to retreat.

Those Di cavalrymen breathed a sigh of relief as if they had received an amnesty. Although all these Di soldiers were brave and good at fighting, they were not afraid of death, but fighting a battle that they knew was going to die and had no hope of winning, no matter how fierce the warrior was, they would If you are discouraged by it, you will lose the courage to fight.

However, Qi Wannian never issued an order to withdraw the troops. Instead, he ignorantly urged the Di soldiers to attack, so these Di soldiers could only bite the bullet and charge upwards. Even if they went up to die, they did not dare to disobey the military order.The military orders of the Di people are quite harsh. If they flee before the battle and are afraid of fighting, not only will they be beheaded, but they will also harm their families. Therefore, although these Di soldiers are very reluctant, they can only helplessly go forward and sell their lives.

More Di soldiers hoped that Qi Wannian would issue an order to withdraw their troops earlier, so that they would not die here in vain. After the robes around them fell one by one, all the Di soldiers felt desperate. The order to retreat was finally conveyed, and almost all the Di soldiers turned around and retreated from the battlefield in a hurry. The chaos in the scene was even worse than when they were attacking. Trampled to death by their own people, these soldiers died even more unjustly.

Fortunately, the Shu army did not pursue them. After a chaotic retreat, the Di people all left the battlefield, and then retreated to Fuping non-stop.
