Take the city to the Warring States

Chapter 33

On the grassland north of Seoul, a battle of 10 people fought from sunrise to sunset, and the blood gradually pooled into small rivers.At this time, the night was gradually falling, and the sound of Mingjin resounded in all directions, and the Huns cavalry and servants all ran towards their camp.

In the big tent of the Chinese army in the Xiongnu camp, the commander severely hammered the table in front, and the generals standing on both sides trembled in their hearts and lowered their heads: "You bastard, not only have you returned without success every time in the past two days. On the contrary, let us lose more than [-] soldiers, what is the use of you, the Commander-in-Chief."

"The commander-in-chief may not know that although the enemy army on the opposite side has only more than [-] people, they are all young and strong, and their fighting power is tyrannical."

"I also ask the commander-in-chief to learn from it. It's not that the last general waits carelessly. It's because the enemy's offensive is too fierce. Although our army is large, there are more or less old, weak, sick and disabled in it, so we are at a disadvantage."

"Although our army has fallen more than [-] people, most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled. On the other hand, the enemy army has fallen more than [-] people, all of whom are young and strong. It seems that our army these days, It’s not a defeat.”

Hearing these remarks, the commander suddenly became furious: "Enough is enough. A defeat is a defeat. You don't need to find excuses. Three days. This commander is giving you three days. If you can't defeat the enemy within three days, you will be given an excuse." See you later".

"The commander-in-chief's enemy army is all young cavalry in the prime of life. Although we have a slightly larger number than the opponent, I am afraid it will be difficult to win a big victory in just three days."

"In terms of combat effectiveness, our army does not have much advantage."

"The commander-in-chief, please think twice. Even if we win in these three days, our army will still win miserably. How will we suppress this vast pasture if we don't have enough troops?"

The Commander couldn't help clenching his fist, and was about to get angry but was blocked by reason.At this time, a thought flashed in my mind, and the corner of my mouth subconsciously turned up: "This group of traitors are so arrogant, why didn't this commander-in-chief borrow troops?"

"Borrow soldiers? Where can the commander borrow soldiers?"

"Why didn't the last general think that if this group of traitors successfully defeated us. If the rest of the small tribes followed suit, would the commanders still be able to sit still?".

"Not too much, as long as you gather the power of two medium-sized tribes, you will be able to take them down with ease."

The commander's smile became stronger amidst the discussion: "The closest to us is a medium-sized tribe in the southwest. It just so happens that the commander and them are a bit hypocritical, as long as you tell them the pros and cons in detail, Troops should be sent to help."

"With the power of two medium-sized tribes, those rebels are going to be finished now."

"So what if the combat power is strong, can it beat two medium-sized tribes?".

"Three small tribes in the area, this time they will eventually need to be ashamed."

The commander thought of the time when two medium-sized tribes joined forces to wipe out the enemy troops ahead.Suddenly he smiled freely, sweeping away his depressed mood these days: "This commander...".

Before he could finish speaking, a cavalry soldier came rushing over.Before he could report loudly, he unscrewed the tent and walked in.The commanders and generals in the tent were all taken aback.I don't understand why this person, with such courage, dared to break into the Chinese army tent in such a rude manner.

"Reporting to the commander, an enemy army has bypassed our army and is already approaching our tribal garrison."Due to the urgent military situation, the cavalry had no time to salute, so they hurriedly informed the military situation.

The commander reacted in an instant, as if he had thought of something, he quickly asked: "Isn't there another [-] reinforcements? What about them? Where are they?"

"I don't know where to go, but judging from the direction of the enemy's march, it is estimated that there will be more bad luck."Thinking of the news he had found out, the cavalry felt a little chills in his heart.

Hearing the words "bad and good", the commander-in-chief gradually raised his brows, and asked the cavalry: "Can you tell how many troops there are in the enemy army?"

"Looking at its number, it will not be less than 2 horses."The cavalry quickly replied that the [-] enemy troops were approaching the empty tribal garrison, and the thought of this scene gave me a feeling of dread.

The generals were obviously confused by the news: "Could it be that the enemy has defeated the army of that small tribe?".

"Forcing the tribe's resident is what to do."

"Do we need immediate support now? But how will the enemy troops in front of us deal with it?"

"It's a dilemma now, it's really difficult."

"Maybe for the current plan, we can only divide our troops."

As soon as these words came out, there was an instant silence in the big tent.The commander-in-chief seemed to be weighing this suggestion, and looked at these generals for a long time: "This statement is reasonable, and the only solution for the present is to divide the troops."

"But how should we divide this soldier?"

"The enemy's [-] troops bypassed our position and approached the tribal garrison. If there are too few reinforcements, we will be of no help. If there are too many troops, what should we do?"

"There are [-] enemy troops in front. Although both sides have been injured in the two days of fighting, there will still be no less than [-] soldiers who can fight."

"Our side only has more than [-] people. If there are too many troops, it will be difficult for us to fight here. If there is less reinforcement, it will not help."

Listening to these remarks, the commander paced back and forth in the tent.The enemy unknowingly set a difficult problem for himself, but how should he solve this problem: "From my place to the medium-sized tribe in the southwest to ask for help, how many days does it take to go back and forth."

"Two days".Hearing the question, the cavalry made quick calculations in their minds, and raised their heads to look at the commander.

Hearing this answer, the commander inspected the generals in the tent: "It takes two days to send a letter back and forth. If the army is rushing all the way, it is estimated to be two to three days. So the commander decided to divide the troops in half."

"half".The generals were in an uproar in an instant. If half of them were transferred, they could solve the enemy army that was approaching the tribal camp.But how can these enemies be dealt with.

"Chief Commander, please think again, the [-] enemy troops here are all elites in their prime of life after all."

"Originally, we relied on our superiority in strength to gain the upper hand. At this time, the sudden division of troops may cause major problems once the enemy knows about it."

"If the enemy's idea is to divide and attack, then the commander-in-chief has fallen into a trap."

"Once this place is lost, the two enemy forces will attack back and forth, I am afraid that our army will be defeated."

The commander listened to them quietly, and then sneered: "Is it impossible for you to bring [-] soldiers and horses to hold the enemy here for four days?".

"Four days?".The general seemed a little stunned all the time, and couldn't figure out why he had to guard for four days.

The commander went to the table and took out a blank bamboo slip from the bottom of the table: "Before I leave, the commander will send a letter to the medium-sized tribes in the southwest direction, asking them to come to support immediately. At most three God, it should be here. After you meet up, take down the enemy army on the opposite side in one fell swoop. Then take advantage of the victory and return to the division and this commander to face those sneak attackers together."

"The last general waits to take orders."All the generals are determined, if it is only four days, it should not be a problem.As long as the commander leaves quietly, he and others will bluff a few times during the day.These four days can pass in a blink of an eye.
