Chapter 1024 A world of difference(2/3)
Helianshen shouted with satisfaction: "The whole army..."
What about the whole army?
Everyone is looking at him.
Only Helianshen was looking ahead, as if someone had cast a restraining spell on him, motionless.
Everyone followed his gaze and looked over...
A big flag is flying high among the enemy troops!
"It's Yang Ziqi!"
The faces that were full of energy before now turned pale or ashen.
"It's Yang Gou who has arrived!"
Morale collapsed instantly.
Twenty thousand versus 13,000. If other generals commanded the army, they would dare to take the initiative.
But when they saw the Yang-character flag, they felt that they were bound to lose!
That is an insurmountable wall!
The lieutenant general also looked ugly, "Please be careful, withdraw!"
Helianshen wanted to take a risk just now.
Twenty thousand versus thirteen thousand, even if we can't win, a tie is always possible, right?
As long as you can fight Yang Gou without losing, this is a merit.
But looking at the deputy general's ugly face, he sighed in his heart.
Morale is shattered!
The Northern Xinjiang Army on the opposite side is reorganizing its army. The horses only need to rest for a while... No, what the hell, Yang Gou can't wait to launch an attack.
Flag waving!
"The Duke orders, attack!"
Ten thousand, take the initiative to launch an attack on 20,000 enemy troops.
But the whole army was confident and even cheerful.
It's like a prophet who knows that this battle will be won.
This is the role of a famous general.
"Attack!"
The soldiers looked at the Duke who rushed out first and cheered.
Follow him and win merit!
"Sure!"
The lieutenant is crying!
"Xiaguan's uncle was defeated by Yang Gou, six thousand against four thousand. Be careful, today we have twenty thousand against ten thousand, we can't! Withdraw!"
Helianshen looked ugly and said, "Withdraw!"
Yang Xuan reined in his horse, "Fuck! There are more than 7,000 men and horses who dare not fight?"
This was a huge blow to the morale of the forward troops.
"My lord, the second child is out." Lin Feibao said.
Wang Laoer came out with his troops.
"Where are the people?"
He looked at the enemy troops retreating in disappointment and cursed: "Those with no balls!"
"How about you give chase?" Yang Xuan said.
Wang Laoer shook his head. "Three thousand men and horses can't do it!"
Fortunately, if this kid tells me to go, then Yang Xuan will turn around and prepare to throw him to Yi Niang and force him to get married.
Men, after getting married, they change almost completely.
Maybe I can become more stable.
Wang Laoer felt a little chill on the back of his spine and touched it with his backhand, "The sun is so bright, Tu Gong, why is it so cold?"
Tu Shang, a bystander, said, "You need something hot."
"What?"
"woman!"
Everyone smiled.
"This is the enemy's vanguard. Scouts should follow to find out the enemy's main force."
Wang Laoer said eagerly: "My lord, let me go!"
"That's fine!"
Wang Laoer has been a little frustrated recently, so it wouldn't be a bad thing to let him relax.
It's just that some people's heads are in danger.
…
Sixty thousand troops are on the way.
The commander-in-chief, Helian Du, rode his horse high up, looked at the steady stream of his subordinates, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "How many years have passed, I, Daliao, have finally reenacted this scene."
"Brothers working together can be as powerful as gold!" Lieutenant General Lin Nan also said with a smile.
"Helianshen should be arriving soon, right?" Governor Helianshen asked.
Lin Nan said: "According to yesterday's news, he should be in the Dangding area by now."
"Twenty thousand forwards are restraining us. Yang Xuan knows that this is just a forward, so he will definitely take shelter temporarily. When our army arrives, we will use our strength to overwhelm them. Either we will fight, or he will have no choice but to retreat.
Even if he captures one or two cities, the people in the city will still invade Daliao and he will not be able to defend it. In this way, this battle can be reversed!"
Governor Helian's analysis was sophisticated and spot on.
"He will not send more than 30,000 troops." Lin Nan analyzed: "This has always been the case in the past. Longhua Prefecture is not a strong state, and food and grass in northern Xinjiang are tight, so he will definitely not be willing to send too many troops."
"Thirty thousand!" Governor Helian said in a deep voice: "He has known about the reinforcements for a long time. There are two options: urgently dispatch reinforcements from Taoxian County to confront our army, or even fight. Or retreat. There is no third way.
You can go!"
A carriage was escorted by hundreds of riders to the foot of the hill. The curtains of the carriage were opened. Changling got out of the carriage, looked up at the hill, whispered something to the maid beside him, and then slowly came up.
"The eldest princess is here."
Lin Nan said, and then he was a little confused, "Why do both Your Majesty and Lin Ya agree with her coming with the army?"
"Firstly, her leaving Ningxing will help ease the relationship between His Majesty and Lin Ya. Secondly, there is some unclear relationship between the eldest princess and Yang Xuan. If she comes, if the war does not go well, she can communicate with Yang Xuan.
Mysterious communication.”
Governor Helian said meaningfully: "After all, we need time."
"That traitor?" Lin Nan whispered.
Governor Helian nodded, "Before this trip, His Majesty made an agreement with Lin Ya to order Lin Jun to withdraw from Taizhou. But I am afraid that this person will not agree."
Lin Nan understood, "This battle is not only about counterattacking the northern Xinjiang, but also shouldering the important task of suppressing the south. No wonder the general has the name of flying general, but he is neither quick nor slow."
"If you get too anxious, trouble will happen!"
What Governor Helian didn't say was that the emperor said not to give the traitor Lin Jun a chance to overthrow him.
"I've met the eldest princess!"
Changling is coming up.
"What do you think, General, of this battle?"
Governor Helian said: "Zhang Yi is talented, and the late emperor was full of praise for him. With this person here, it will be difficult for Yang Xuan to defeat Long Huazhou in one battle. Therefore, I think that no matter how bad the result is at this moment, at least we can settle down."
There are some points too.”
"In other words, at least a few cities are still in hand?"
"yes!"
Changling asked: "Is it possible to counterattack and recapture other cities?"
Governor Helian nodded, "The Northern Xinjiang Army has just captured those cities, but the people's sentiments have not been straightened out. They cannot bear to attack now."
"Internal and external troubles!"
"The eldest princess is wise, that's exactly what she is!"
To be continued...
