Chapter 1550: Suspicious tactics (Part 2)

Chapter 1548: Suspicious tactics (Part 2)

Seeing the withdrawal of the Qin army, Han Xinxin was relieved. He immediately called Zhang He and other generals and ordered: "Junyi, lead the cavalry to pursue them. Remember not to pursue them too close. After chasing for thirty miles, you will retreat."

Zhang He was stunned and asked doubtfully: "My lord, the retreat of the Qin army is the perfect opportunity to pursue and defeat the Qin army in one fell swoop. Why do they only pursue for thirty miles?"

Zhang He's words also revealed the doubts of other generals. After all, the Qin army, which had risked its life and was finally repelled, could not take advantage of the victory to pursue it?

Han Xin sighed and explained: "If the Qin army could really be defeated, how could I not pursue it? However, although the Qin army has retreated and the army is tired, the casualties are not large after all.

The infantry cannot catch up with the cavalry, and our cavalry has less than 10,000 people, so how can we defeat the Qin army? "

Hearing what Han Xin said, Zhang He immediately said: "Didn't Lian Po send 20,000 cavalry to support our army? Our army's 10,000 cavalry, plus the 20,000 Zhao army's cavalry in full strength, are enough to defeat the exhausted Zhao army." The Qin army’s cavalry is exhausted.”

“Haha, do you really think Lian Po would put Yuan Shao’s precious cavalry at risk for the sake of our lives?” Han Xin asked with a sneer.

All the generals were stunned when they heard this. Nangong Chang Wanze asked: "My lord, do you mean that you are here to support, not Zhao's cavalry?"

"Of course, although we and Yuan Shao have formed an alliance and should help each other offensively and defensively, this battle is too risky after all. If Zhao Jun is not careful, he may face a flanking attack by the Qin army. Lian Po cannot take risks for us." Han Xin said coldly. road.

“So, there are no reinforcements at all?” Zhang He asked with his eyes widened.

“That’s right, that’s just a trick that I laid out in advance, with only three thousand cavalry pretending to be powerful.

If even the 80,000 infantry cavalry could not defeat the 40,000 Qin army's iron cavalry, this group of suspicious soldiers would be our army's last trump card, but they finally managed to frighten Zhang Liao. "

 Han Xinxin said with lingering fear that this battle was really the most thrilling battle he had ever experienced since joining the army. He hated this feeling of not being under his control.

Ten miles away from the battlefield, Gao Lan was commanding three thousand cavalry, trying to stir up as many people as possible, while also guarding and shooting Qin spies.

"Military advisor, can this trick really deceive the Qin army?" Gao Lan asked worriedly to Jushou on the side.

Jushou frowned, but said with determination: "Yes, I will definitely do it. Maybe I can't deceive Guo Jia, but I will definitely be able to deceive Zhang Liao. He doesn't dare to bet."

 Led by Gao Lan and Jushu, 3,000 Korean light cavalry pretended to be 20,000 cavalry, and rushed towards Han Xin at an unhurried pace.

The eyes returned to Han Xin. After hearing Han Xin's answer, the generals looked at each other. Apparently, they did not expect that the lord, who never fought an unprepared battle, would one day put his hope in gambling.

“My lord, if the suspicious tactics don’t work and the Qin army doesn’t take the initiative to retreat, won’t our army be completely wiped out?”

After hearing Zhang He's question, Han Xin's eyes flashed with thought, and then he said something similar to Ju Shou's.

"No, it won't happen. Guo Jia may have the courage, but Zhang Liao certainly doesn't. He wouldn't dare to gamble with me with 40,000 Qin cavalry." Han Xin said firmly.

Zhang He led less than 10,000 horses and pretended to chase away, but he did not dare to chase too close. If the Qin army killed the carbine, it would be difficult to leave. At the same time, he did not dare to go too far away. After all, this would make it easier for the Qin army to escape. See the reality.

As soon as Zhang He left, Han Xin didn't even order the battlefield to be cleaned, but he couldn't wait to lead the entire army and evacuate to the nearest city.

Before leaving, Han Xin looked at the **** battlefield with broken limbs and arms everywhere, and most of them were in Korean army uniforms. This made Han Xin hate Guo Jia deeply for the plot against him. After all, if it weren't for Guo Jia, In Jia's words, the Korean army would never pay such heavy casualties.

“Guo Jia, I was careless this time. If you want to trick me next time, it won’t be so easy.”

Han Xin snorted coldly and ordered: "The whole army retreats."

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　)

At the same time, Zhang Liao, who also withdrew his troops, roughly estimated the casualties and found that the Qin army's losses were not large. When the casualties were less than one-tenth, he was secretly relieved. But what he didn't know was that he missed The only chance to defeat Han Xin. "General Zhang Liao, the cavalry of the Han army is chasing us, and the cavalry of the Zhao army is also chasing us."

After hearing the report, Zhang Liao said decisively: "Don't pay attention. If the Han army cannot catch up, it will retreat when it is exhausted. Our army only needs to guard against the Zhao army."

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　)

While retreating, Guo Jia was the first to notice that something was wrong.

If the Korean army has already gone through a big battle, the physical strength of the war horses is very exhausted, so forget it if they can't catch up.

However, the Zhao army's cavalry has never participated in the battle. They are in full strength while waiting for work. How can they not catch up?

At this moment, a carrier pigeon landed on Guo Jia's shoulder. Guo Jia took it out and found that it was Long Qie's military report, but the content on it made Guo Jia's pupils shrink sharply.

 “No, it’s just a suspicious tactic.”

Guo Jia screamed, and then hurriedly said to Zhang Liao: "General Zhang Liao, the news from Long Qie came. Lian Po has been holding back his troops and has not sent cavalry to support Han Xin at all. It must have been a trick by Han Xin just now. We were lied to."

After Zhang Liao took the letter and looked at it, his face suddenly became extremely ugly, and he shouted: "Quickly change direction, let's fight back."

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　)

 The Qin army ordered the ban to be carried out. After the military order was conveyed, tens of thousands of cavalry immediately turned around.

 Zhang He and Gao Lan in the distance couldn't help but smile at each other after seeing this. Zhang He said: "Zhang Liao is quite smart, he discovered it so quickly."

"But it's still too late. The Lord's side should have already entered the city."

“Let’s retreat quickly and don’t get caught up by the Qin army.”

"Um."

 Under the command of Zhang He Gao Lan, more than 10,000 Korean cavalry retreated in two directions.

Seeing this, Zhang Liao was even more sure that he had fallen into a trap, but he did not send troops to pursue them. After all, they were cavalry and it was not easy to catch up. It was more important to deal with the main force of the Korean army.

After the Qin army returned to the previous battlefield, the Han army naturally disappeared long ago, leaving only corpses everywhere.

Seeing this, Zhang Liao couldn't help but clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and said: "Sweep the battlefield quickly, then take the bodies of the brothers who died in the battle and retreat."

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　)

After counting, it was found that the Qin army's casualties in this battle were only more than 3,000 cavalry, which was less than one-tenth of the total number of the entire army. Among them, 500 of the heavy cavalry of the broken army were lost.

As for the Han army, because it was facing a surprise attack by the Qin army and had been passively beaten, it did not have many effective counterattacks. In the end, it relied on the trick of doubting the soldiers to deceive the Qin army into retreating.

Therefore, the Korean army suffered extremely heavy casualties in this battle, with the total casualties reaching more than 20,000, accounting for a quarter of the entire army.

The second update is coming. Even if you don’t owe anything, you will still get an extra update. Today is Christmas Eve. Liu Xiang wishes all book friends to be safe and prosperous as soon as possible.
