Three Kingdoms: Peak Summons

Chapter 1602: Withdrawal of troops before battle

Chapter 1600: Withdrawal of troops before battle

Since no specific traces of the Qi army have been found, it is only a guess that the Qi army came across the sea.

Of course, Li Jing cannot overturn all previous battle plans just because of a guess. Such reasons cannot convince the entire army, so the decisive battle will continue tomorrow.

 The next day, Li Jing led Ran Min, Tai Shi Ci, Lu Junyi, Lin Chong, Qin Ming and other generals and rushed to the agreed battlefield with the entire army.

Halfway through the journey, a spy suddenly came to report: "To report to the prefect, a fisherman from Yi'an County went fishing this morning and unexpectedly found a fleet. The fisherman immediately reported it to the official. It is now confirmed to be the fleet of the Qi State Navy." ”

"What? Zhu Tianpeng really came across the sea with his navy?"

Ran Min said with a shocked look on his face, he couldn't believe it was true.

"How can this be?"

Lu Junyi also looked hard to accept.

 This news was a bolt from the blue for the Qin army.

Even if the morale of the Qin army is high, there is still a lot of pressure on an army of less than 60,000 to fight against 80,000.

Now there are 10,000 more enemy troops, and there are poisonous snakes that may appear behind you at any time. How to fight this battle?

"Master Taishou, how about we divide our troops? Allocate part of our troops to defend against Zhu Tianpeng's navy?" Tai Shi Ci added.

Li Jing fell into silence and did not speak, but Ran Min said in a deep voice: "The Qi army is notoriously difficult to deal with. If the force is less than 8,000, it will definitely not be able to resist it, and our army is already smaller than Wang Mang." If there are so many troops, the frontal battlefield will not be able to bear it. "

Upon hearing this, all the generals immediately fell silent. After all, once the frontal battlefield collapsed, it would be a real defeat, and there would be no way to reverse it.

“Well, it would be great if we could discover Qi Jun’s whereabouts earlier.” Qin Ming said with an annoyed look on his face.

If discovered last night, the Qin army could at least withdraw overnight, but now the decisive battle is about to begin. Even if the Qin army wants to withdraw, Wang Mang cannot let the Qin army withdraw.

"Zhu Tianpeng deliberately led the navy to drift on the sea in order not to be exposed. If the fisherman hadn't happened to meet him, I am afraid that Zhu Tianpeng would not have been exposed until the decisive battle between our army and Wang Mang." Ran Ran said. Min sighed.

 It cannot be beaten and cannot run away. This is the biggest problem currently facing the Qin army.

Song Jiang's Liangshan Army was forced to the edge by Li Jing in this way, but he did not expect that the Qin Army was now pushed to the edge of the cliff by Zhu Tianpeng.

Seeing that the generals were arguing and arguing but could not come up with anything, and Li Jing kept thinking deeply and ignoring everyone, Taishi Ci gritted his teeth and stepped forward to invite the battle: "Master Taishou, please give the last general four thousand troops and horses." , the final general is willing to fight to the death to block Zhu Tianpeng, and only four thousand troops should have little impact on the frontal battlefield. "

"Ziyi, you are crazy. Zhu Tianpeng is a top master himself. He also has Xia Luqi and Wang Yanzhang under his command, as well as 10,000 elite naval forces who can cross the sea. How can it be possible with just you and 5,000 soldiers and horses? Block it?" Qin Ming said.

 “Is there any other way?”

Tai Shici asked back, and Qin Ming was speechless.

You can't escape anyway. Although the possibility of losing by dividing your troops is high, this is the only way now. After all, you will definitely lose if you don't divide your troops.

"The general is willing to issue a military order." Tai Shici gritted his teeth and said.

Li Jing, who had not said a word for a long time, suddenly raised his head. After wiping the sweat from his forehead, he looked at Tai Shi Ci and said, "Step back, Ziyi. I will not agree to your request."

"But…"

Li Jing interrupted Tai Shici and said to himself: "Zhu Tianpeng's crossing the sea this time exceeded everyone's expectations. Now our army has fallen into Zhu Tianpeng's plan. With such a simple response method of dividing the troops, Wang Mang and Zhu Tianpeng must have guessed it, so he must have a countermeasure.

 At this time, the enemy is hidden and we are clear, and if we start a war, we will definitely lose. "

 “What should we do? Is it possible to withdraw the troops?” Qin Ming asked in annoyance.

Li Jing's eyes flashed and he asked: "Who said we can't withdraw?"

“Uh, this...” Qin Ming opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

The rest of the generals looked at Li Jing with surprise on their faces. Taishi Ci asked: "Master Taishou, is it difficult for you to withdraw the troops safely?"

“I have an idea, but there are risks.”

Hearing what Li Jing said, all the generals showed expressions of ecstasy, and the original panic scene was suddenly swept away, as if they had found their backbone.

“But the governor, if we retreat at this time, Zhu Tianpeng will not be able to sneak attack our army, and I am afraid he will shift his target to Beihai.”

A trace of worry flashed in Ran Min's eyes, and he said worriedly: "Zhu Tianpeng's boat is much faster than us. I'm afraid Beihai has been conquered by the Qi army before we can retreat to Beihai."

Ran Min's words are on point. Zhu Tianpeng came across the sea, so it was impossible for his trip to be in vain. If Li Jing's main force fled, he would definitely go to fight Beihai. After all, Beihai cannot be escaped.

Although Li Jing left three thousand defenders in Beihai, the defenders were only two civil servants. It was almost impossible to defend Beihai under the attack of Zhu Tianpeng and a group of elite Qi troops.

　One second the flowers were bright, but the next second the flowers withered.

The generals were all a little desperate. They found that what they were facing was a dead end.

　　If you start a war, you will definitely lose. If you withdraw your troops, Beihai will fall, and you will still be defeated sooner or later.

Li Jing's eyes flashed with joy, and he said meaningfully: "Didn't you notice that there is one less person?"

All the generals were a little confused. Ran Min was thoughtful. After looking around for a week, he exclaimed: "Jintai, Brother Jintai is missing."

“Hey, it’s true, I was so focused on the decisive battle that I didn’t even notice...”

“Prefect, where are the generals from Jintai?” Lu Junyi asked.

"In the news sent back last night, although no trace of the Qi army was found, I always feel that there is something wrong with it. After all, if Zhu Tianpeng's fleet does not dock, it is impossible for our army's spies to discover it.

 So, to be on the safe side, I ordered General Jintai to lead two thousand cavalry and return to Beihai overnight, just in case.

Even if our army loses two thousand soldiers and horses here, it will not have any impact on the whole. But with two thousand more soldiers and horses on the Beihai side, and General Jintai, it can make Beihai City stronger. "

Hearing what Li Jing said, the generals were immediately overjoyed. Qin Ming even shouted: "Master Taishou, you are so foresighted."

"alright."

 Li Jing interrupted the generals' flattery and said in a deep voice: "It is too risky to start a war at this time. We must retreat as soon as possible. As for how to retreat, we will talk about it on the way.

  Send the order and the whole army retreats. "

With Li Jing’s order, the 55,000-strong army marched towards the battlefield. Li Jing changed direction and evacuated in an orderly manner.
