Chapter 1338: Undefeated and defeated
These craftsmen and Ding Zhuang were not under the command of the generals at all levels of the army, and when the army at all levels needed support, they could only ask for it, not give orders.
Maybe when both the enemy and us have so many weapons, so that the way to ask for instructions everywhere will be redundant, but now that the Han army has an absolute advantage in equipment, naturally Li Xinchen needs to worry about not whether he will fall behind in the confrontation with the enemy because of untimely support, but whether these big killing weapons will turn around and aim at him one day.
Obviously, everyone understands this, so under the current system, no one will want to raise objections. I still have this little brain, and there is no need to provoke His Majesty's majesty.
So there are some interesting phenomena, the soldiers in the army have obviously always looked down on these masters of the Ministry of Engineering who can take credit by standing behind and pointing fingers, and everyone has not had conflicts. After all, the military camp is strictly disciplined, and when people are suppressed to a certain extent, they will always think about breaking out.
Although brawls are strictly forbidden in the army, the generals can actually grasp this measure, and it is really impossible to strictly prohibit it, you must know that even the generals at the upper level may quarrel because of the uneven distribution of tasks and merits, and then they will fight, not to mention the ordinary soldiers below. In particular, the Ministry of Industry and the military belong to two different systems, which are more prone to contradictions and conflicts.
But when it comes to fighting, they are all their own people who really go to the battlefield, and everyone can clearly distinguish the relationship between primary and secondary. Now seeing that the guys in the Ministry of Industry are rushing forward like crazy, the soldiers are even more energetic. Whatever you say, you can't fall behind the guys in the Ministry of Works.
These guys have snatched all the jobs of long-range strikes, do they still want to steal the jobs of close combat?!
"No retreat!" All the soldiers burst out shouting, even if the enemy was outnumbered, they had enough of this step-by-step retreat!
At this time, in the river not far away, Wei Xiaokuan looked at the battle situation in front of him, and he frowned. Even if it is the boss, he has already gone into the water, and not far away is Xiao Shilian's Chinese army, the last time the two of them were so close should have been during the Battle of Langzhong, right?
Now Xiao Shilian is already the governor and hussar general of the Han Dynasty, but what about himself?
Wei Xiaokuan looked at the army around him that didn't even have a large number of soldiers and horses in Langzhong, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
The more I lived, the more I regressed.
And the current change in the battle situation makes Wei Xiaokuan very nervous.
It was clear that the battle line on the shore had become difficult to move, but the situation in the water was very different. Gao Xi has been irrepressibly defeated, Gao Xi's subordinates were originally some strong men who were temporarily arrested, and Wei Xiaokuan originally asked him to support the field, and he didn't plan to really put Gao Xi in an important position.
First, Gao Xi is a civilian official, and if he really talks about seizing the opportunity to attack, etc., he will definitely not be able to compare with Liang Shiyan. Second, Gao Xi's identity is also relatively special, as Yang Jian's cronies, he is more like he came to supervise the army, but Yang Jian did not give him this power - now Yang Jian can rely on only a few people such as Wei Xiaokuan and Liang Shiyan, once he shows his distrust of them, who knows what will happen.
Even so, whether it is Wei Xiaokuan or Liang Shiyan, they actually don't treat Gao Xi very well, and throwing Gao Xi in that position is actually Wei Xiaokuan's malicious behavior.
What Wei Xiaokuan didn't expect was that Xiao Shilian actually let Lu Guangda go to the rescue and attacked Gao Xi's department with all his might, and when Huang Wan had already formed an absolute suppression of Gao Xi, Xiao Shilian turned around and took the Chinese army to find Wei Xiaokuan directly.
Obviously, Xiao Shilian's purpose is very simple, to break through the enemy's left flank, and then break the enemy's central army, so even if the enemy's right flank can break through, what can it do?
The grain of Bailuyuan, to be honest, Xiao Shilian can give up, but Yang Jian can't give up, once only the lonely Liang Shiyan is left, do you really expect to be able to set off any waves? Especially at that time, Xiao Shilian also had enough ability to block the road for Liang Shiyan to return to Guanzhong, so that Liang Shiyan's department completely became a lone army.
Wei Xiaokuan gritted his teeth.
He knew that when his left wing collapsed before Xiao Shilian's left, the outcome of the battle would actually be decided.
The Northern Zhou army, undefeated and defeated.
Wei Xiaokuan said in a deep voice: "Mingjin, collect your troops and prepare to retreat to the west bank." ”
The surrounding generals looked at Wei Xiaokuan at the same time, a little incredulous.
Although Xiao Shilian came quickly, it was not impossible to block him.
Why retreat at this time, if you retreat, it is likely to turn into a major collapse. After all, everyone has a little bit of a number in their hearts, at this time everyone has a string in their hearts, if Mingjin withdraws the troops, this string will break, and what will happen after this break, no one knows.
"It's impossible for us to win." Wei Xiaokuan said lightly, "In this blue river, there is no way to advance or retreat, once the enemy breaks through our Chinese army, then there is only one dead end left." ”
The generals also gritted their teeth.
They apparently reacted too, but no one wanted to admit the reality of their imminent defeat.
"The matter has come to this, restrain the soldiers under your command." Wei Xiaokuan ordered in a deep voice, "Make sure to keep as many people as possible." ”
"No!" The generals reluctantly agreed.
And Wei Xiaokuan looked at the general flag that was getting closer and closer in front of him, and the Han soldiers rushed forward desperately as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, obviously they were very interested in Wei Xiaokuan's goal.
Ming Jin's voice sounded, not only the Northern Zhou soldiers, but even the Han army were taken aback.
The Central Army of the Northern Zhou Dynasty advanced forward, withstood the Han army, and bought time for the retreat of Liang Shiyan's division on his right flank.
"General, it's Mingjin." The general standing beside Liang Shiyan whispered, reminding the old general who seemed to ignore this.
Liang Shiyan's eyes were still firmly fixed on the line of troops in front of him.
Lu Guangda was condescending and would never take a step back.
The Northern Zhou army should not be able to rush up in a short period of time.
Although he was very unwilling, Liang Shiyan had to admit that Wei Xiaokuan's withdrawal of troops at this time should be the most correct decision.
"We retreat." He smiled bitterly, shook his body, and fell straight backwards.
"General!" The surrounding guards hurriedly stepped forward to help.
Liang Shiyan's face was pale, barely supporting himself, and his eyes were firmly fixed on the Lu Guangda general flag in front of him.
At the beginning, he was also standing on the head of the city in North Xuzhou and looking at Wu Mingche's general flag.
It's just that at that time I was the winner.
And Lu Guangda is not looking at Liang Shiyan?
Watching the Northern Zhou army slowly retreat, Lu Guangda took a deep breath, and the long sword in his hand pointed forward: "Chase!" ”
