One Thousand Five Hundred and Thirty-Nine: Failing Nieliang, Attacking Yang Tao, and Pointing the Sword to the World (77)
Although he was ready to retreat to Erdao City, it was not a retreat without thinking, and Qi Guanrang was well aware of the reason.
Figure it out slowly, and do it slowly.
It is necessary not only to make the enemy undetectable, but also to let our soldiers know that the retreat is not a rout but a strategic arrangement.
Because he was cautious enough, Nie Jun didn't doubt it.
"How's the situation ahead?"
Wei Wei was always paying attention to the situation of the battle, seeing the tragic situation, Rao even he couldn't help frowning tightly, leaving marks between his brows.
I thought that tonight's raid on Zhanjiang Pass would have certain advantages and convenience, but I didn't expect the enemy to be so tenacious and stubborn.
The two armies continue to be at a stalemate, and the losses of both sides will increase exponentially.
"The enemy has shown signs of defeat, and they probably won't be able to hold on anymore." The general's stern face finally revealed a bit of joy, and his tone became lighter, "The resistance they encounter now is not as strong as it was at first, and their morale is getting stronger. Downturn, sooner or later it will collapse."
Wei Ying pinched the center of his brows, and his tightly pursed lips almost became a straight line. Those who are not familiar with him also know that he is in a bad mood at this time.
The general asked him tremblingly, "Military division...is there anything wrong?"
Wei Wei said indifferently, "Our army has the advantage of a sneak attack, and the stalemate lasted for a long time before the enemy showed its weakness. What's there to be happy about?"
After the general heard this, his face was flustered with embarrassment, but he was dark and the night was so dark that outsiders couldn't see it.
"You will know your mistakes in the end."
Wei Wei changed the subject, "Liu Xi is our formidable enemy, and it's no surprise that he has such strength."
How to show your strength?
Nature is stronger than mighty enemies.
If Zhanjiang Pass was as fragile as paper, the first master, Nie Liang, would die in peace.
The Nie army under the city persevered in erecting the ladder on the city wall, and the catapults kept burning fireballs to attack the enemy behind the wall, and at the same time, they also provided cover for the soldiers climbing the ladder. At the same time, the soldiers at the gate of the city also hit the gate with heavy siege logs.
Their cheeks were flushed, their teeth were clenched, their foreheads were bulging, and their clothes were wet with sweat.
Shouting chant in his mouth, he pushed hard at the same place at the same time, even though the gate of Zhanjiangguan was strong, it was knocked out of the crack at this time.
Seeing the crack, everyone was greatly encouraged, as if victory was close at hand, they worked harder.
When the sound of cracks expanding in the city gate reaches the ears, it is tantamount to the sound of nature.
With a loud bang, the city gate was completely blasted open, and everyone was almost dumbfounded when they saw the stones blocking the city cave through the crack.
It also takes time to clear the stones, and the number of soldiers climbing the ladder to the city wall is limited and cannot pose much threat.
Qi Guanrang ordered to retreat to Erdao City, with the obstruction of the city walls and caves, the number of pursuers was not many, and the casualties were naturally not too great.
General Nie Jun passed the news to Wei Ying, and Wei Ying's expression remained unchanged, as if he had expected this a long time ago.
"It's okay, clean up the stones, take a break and chase after them."
The general in charge of the army was dissatisfied, "Our army is in full swing, and at this time we should go all out and completely defeat the enemy."
Wei Wei said coldly, "The city caves have been completely sealed off by the enemy. How can the general dispatch a large number of elites and supplies to chase and kill the enemy in a short period of time? I'm afraid they will be killed by the enemy as soon as they catch up. You can sharpen your sword." Woodcutters, don’t tell me the general doesn’t even understand this common sense?”
They were able to pry open the gate of Zhanjiang Pass, didn't they rely on the same support as throwing money and the advantage of numbers?
In terms of the quality of soldiers, they do not have an advantage.
Attacking the enemy's strengths with one's own weaknesses, I'm afraid it's not a brain flood.
The general did not agree with Wei Ying's opinion.
When Nie Liang was still alive, he didn't like Wei Ying very much.
He admits that Wei Ying has something special, if he has no ability, Nie Liang won't value him so much.
However, there is such a good saying - people are not as good as heaven.
So what if this group of counselors has the ability to do all the tricks, there is a huge discrepancy between the actual operation and the theoretical assumptions.
Marching and fighting is not just about talking on paper, but also taking into account changes on the battlefield and making targeted adjustments in a timely manner.
Wei Ying is timid in this fight, he feels annoyed when he looks at it, and now he is pushing out the great opportunity, what does he want to do! Thinking of this, the general felt even more depressed. Wei Wei is a military adviser, so it is enough to be responsible for making suggestions, and he also intervenes in monopolizing the work of generals. With such an arbitrary and domineering behavior, many old officials of Nie Liang feel that Wei Wei is trying to monopolize the power and make room for the new lord Nie Qing.
The general didn't think so at first, but seeing Wei Ying's actions at this time, he couldn't help being shaken.
He said, "The enemy was defeated and the morale of the army was confused. The general thought that they should take advantage of the victory to pursue and not give them any chance to breathe. The military division thought too much, and instead ignored the other and delayed the opportunity of the war. The marching and fighting things, the general prided himself as no worse than the military division Where to go."
Wei Ying couldn't help sneering, he said, "The general thinks Liu Xi's elite can be defeated so easily?"
Nie Liang led his troops to pretend to attack Zhanjiang Pass. Although they were not all elites, they fought hard.
The Former Lord had always attached great importance to the enemy, and after this battle, he was even more energetic.
That is a real elite army, not a grassroots team, and it will not collapse after one defeat.
This person in front of him has too little experience, does he really regard Jiang Pengji as an enemy he fought before?
The general said angrily, "Military commander, don't destroy your own prestige, increase the ambition of others, and affect the morale of our army."
Wei Ying's eyes turned cold, and he said coldly, "Does the general disobey the military order?"
The general is also loyal to the Nie family, but he has his own ideas. He doesn't like Wei Ying's actions. He said, "Military commander, don't forget that when it comes to duties, you are in charge of writing, and I am in charge of military affairs. The matter of dispatching troops before the battle , although the military division can intervene, but it is not something you can be arbitrary."
As a military adviser, Wei Wei has certain military power, but when it comes to real calculations, he is still a civilian and cannot overwhelm the opponent.
If Fan Chen or the young master Nie Qing were here at this time, he would naturally not be afraid, but it would be a little troublesome for him to be alone.
"The general insists on this, and I have nothing to say. Just one sentence, if you lead troops to pursue and lead to the defeat of the battle at this time, will the general be willing to take responsibility?"
The general snorted, and said proudly, "There is absolutely no resentment in dealing with it according to military law."
After that, he got on his horse, and it hurt to see Wei Ying.
He couldn't deny the general's loyalty to the Nie family, but the two had different positions, and conflicts inevitably surged.
When the generals of Wei Ying's faction saw this, they were very worried.
"Military division, what should we do now? You can't really tell the general to run into the enemy's trap, can you?"
The ability of the military adviser was repeatedly affirmed by the former master Nie Liangdu, and the enemy is so cunning, it is definitely right to be cautious.
Wei Wei said indifferently, "It's okay, anyway, not many people will be damaged, let him suffer by himself."
Facts have proved that Wei Ying's judgment is correct.
