Chapter 539: Mourning Soldiers
This battle was fought from the night of the 21st lunar month to the noon of the 22nd lunar month.
The Pingnan Army fought to the death and did not retreat, but Ye Mao and others also advanced extremely firmly.
The Ye family may have confessed their cowardice in the court, but they have never been instigated in a war, this is a hard-fought battle, and there is no place for tricks.
But Li Xin's department is better than the large number of people.
The three Zhichong Prefectures together are close to 50,000 people, and there is an echelon of 5,000 people for every 5,000 people, and if the casualties exceed one-third, they will immediately retreat and exchange for another team of 5,000 people to make up for it, so that the cycle goes on and on, which can not only maximize the combat effectiveness, but also ensure that the soldiers at the forefront will always maintain their physical strength.
And Ye Xiaopapa, who was trained by the devil since he was a child, was like a demon god descending into the world at this time, for a whole day and a night, he didn't close his eyes, only retreated and rested for two hours, under the leadership of Ye Mao, the Pingnan army was forced to retreat to the other side of Mianzhu City.
By this time, the city was littered with corpses.
Most of them are the corpses of the Pingnan Army, and a small half are the corpses of the forbidden army.
Combined, the number of dead and wounded is estimated to be more than 10,000.
This casualty figure is actually not a lot compared to the total number of casualties on both sides, but the two sides have only been fighting for a day and a night.
In one day and one night, it is not too late to kill 10,000 pigs, not to mention that Mianzhu City is not particularly large, and it can kill so many people in such a short period of time, which shows the intensity of the battle!
The Pingnan army has retreated to the south of Mianzhu, and then retreats to the south gate of Mianzhu.
At this time, Ye Mao had almost rested, he picked up his spear again, and slowly walked to the front with the people of Fangshan Zhichong Mansion.
At this time, the two sides have not been at war for the time being, and are in a state of confrontation.
Then, the grumpy little grandfather did not continue to attack, but shouted at the Pingnan army.
"Tell you General Cheng, and I will say that I want to see him."
Ye Mao's words quickly reached Cheng Ping's ears, and it didn't take long for this fat general, who was slightly bloated, to ride a horse to the front of the battle.
And Ye Mao has no mounts.
When they crossed the Sky Ridge, all the horses of Li Xin's department were thrown at Di Dao, and it was impossible to bring them over, so they were now a pure infantry.
To be honest, this reduced Ye Mao's combat effectiveness a lot since he was a child.
However, he is tall, even if he doesn't ride a horse, he doesn't lose in momentum in the face of Cheng Ping.
The little grandfather casually threw his spear to the guards around him, then looked up at Cheng Ping, who was dozens of steps away, and said loudly: "General Cheng, I want to talk to you." ”
Cheng Ping, whose face was stained with blood, was silent for a while, and finally spoke: "Each step forward, each person brings ten personal guards, and bows and crossbows are prohibited." ”
Ye Mao laughed and walked forward directly, without even bringing a personal guard.
A few guards from the Ye family who were following him hurriedly stepped forward to follow, and closely protected Ye Mao.
Cheng Fatzi exhaled slightly, turned over and dismounted, and walked in the direction of Ye Mao with a few people.
Soon, the two met face to face,
Cheng Ping took the lead in holding his fists: "I've seen the little grandfather." ”
This is to give Ye Sheng face.
Ye Mao smiled: "General Cheng, this battle has been fought here, the victory and defeat have been divided, I don't think there is any need to divide life and death anymore." ”
Cheng Ping was expressionless.
"What does this mean, little grandfather?"
"I mean, General Cheng can take people out of Mianzhu."
Ye Mao said unhurriedly: "We've been fighting for a day and a night, how many people are there under General Cheng?" ”
Cheng Ping's face turned cold.
"Ben will not give up Mianzhu no matter how many people are left."
"But you have no way back."
Ye Mao pointed behind Cheng Ping, learned from Li Xin's appearance, and said lightly: "Behind General Cheng, there is the southern city wall of Mianzhu." ”
The two sides fought, and the Pingnan army was forced all the way here by the forbidden army, and if it continued to fight, the Pingnan army would have no way to retreat, and could only be blocked here.
"Your army is now, there are more than 10,000 people at most, and I am not afraid to tell General Cheng that there are still more than 40,000 people in our army."
Ye Mao smiled and continued: "If you continue to fight, you will all die here." ”
This sentence is true, after a day and a night of fighting, the forbidden army has the advantage of numbers and can be rotated, but most of the Pingnan army has been exhausted, and if there is no way to retreat, if the fight continues, most of the remaining more than 10,000 people in Cheng Ping will die in the city.
Cheng Fatzi glanced up at Ye Mao, and then said expressionlessly: "If the little grandfather can easily eat the more than 10,000 people of the general, will he still have more words with the general here?" ”
No one is stupid.
When people are in a desperate situation, the potential that can be exerted is the most terrifying, and now the Pingnan army has no way to retreat, if they are not let out of the city, then this is a desperate situation for them.
There is no way out, and the effect is similar to that of a shipwreck.
Now, if Ye Mao is unforgiving and leads his troops to force him over, he can certainly kill all these people in Mianzhu City, but at that time, the number of casualties on the forbidden army's side will definitely not be lower than that of the Pingnan army.
A smile appeared on Ye Mao's face.
"You don't have any chance of winning."
"If you continue to fight, even if you all become mourners, you will not be able to win under the disparity in strength."
"When the time comes, it will be nothing more than us dying a few more, and you all will die here."
The little grandfather has known Li Xin for two or three years, and he has been with Li Xin for a whole year this year, and he has learned some of Li Xin's speaking skills.
"Now, to withdraw or not to withdraw, just in the thought of General Cheng, if General Cheng does not withdraw, you can turn back now, Lao Tzu immediately ordered all the people and horses, and you will see life and death!"
Cheng Ping slowly closed his eyes and said indifferently: "Mianzhu is lost, and he will die when he returns to Jincheng." ”
Ye Mao's tone was calm.
"But at least your men won't die."
"That's all I have to say, from now on, I will stop the attack and give General Cheng six hours, after six hours, if General Cheng is unwilling to withdraw from Mianzhu, then you should also rest enough, and then we will be in this Mianzhu City, see life and death."
After saying this, Ye Mao stopped talking to Cheng Ping and turned back to his position.
Cheng Fatzi was silent for a while, and then turned around to meet the formation.
Ye Mao's footsteps were very fast, and he got into his own formation after a while.
At this time, both sides were on the streets of Mianzhu City, the people of Mianzhu City were hiding at home and did not dare to show their heads, and the teahouses and taverns on the roadside also became empty.
On the second floor, two equally young men were waiting for him.
Ye Mao lowered his hand and bowed his head: "Uncle Shi." ”
One of the young men put down the clairtelescope in his hand, turned around and patted Ye Mao's shoulder, and said with a smile: "It's hard for you." ”
This kind of negotiation was supposed to be Li Xin himself, but Li Xin thought about it, it was more appropriate for Ye Mao to go over.
After all, people always like to believe what people say in their rectum.
Ye Mao smiled bitterly, bowed his head and said, "Senior Uncle, if they are unwilling to go out of the city, won't they be able to recover their strength in six hours?" ”
"At that time, we also regained our strength."
Li Xin smiled.
"Moreover, after six hours, they will not be able to have the mentality of mourning now."
"Once my heart is vented, it will be very difficult to find it back."
