Chapter 1097: Fierce Battle (Seventy-Seven)
Regarding the situation of the Han army sending spies to probe his rear, General Qianhong understood it very thoroughly. The next day, he did not let the soldiers insult and provoke the camp of the Han army. In the eyes of General Qianhong, this insult and provocation is an inferior method. But now in the eyes of General Qianhong, it is a straw that crushes the Han army.
Why do you say that, because he first wants to provoke the will of the Han army to attack, and then insult it, and then the Han army will comply. And that was his goal.
Chen Qing stood on the lookout and looked at the stagnant Tarnu army a hundred and ten zhang away. I felt a little impulse to attack.
However, impulsiveness is impulsive, and Chen Qing can still suppress it. Although rushing out now may lead to a big victory, there is also a great danger. First, the spy hasn't come back yet. Second, he still felt that it was safest to let the Tatar army attack.
Such a thought made Chen Qing let go of the impulse in his heart. Hold down and keep waiting.
And his lieutenant is also waiting for the return of those spies. In his heart, he really wanted to attack the Tatar army directly. I only hate myself for not being the main general.
By the evening of the next day, the spies had returned. They all came to Chen Qing's big tent to report on what they had investigated.
The situation is very simple, that is, there are no reinforcements behind this 40,000-strong Tatar army.
Chen Qing also nodded after hearing this, and breathed a sigh of relief. And the lieutenant general was a little excited. Wait until Chen Qing retreats those spies. He smiled and said to Chen Qing: "General, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!" ”
But Chen Qing frowned.
The lieutenant general looked at Chen Qing and just thought, without speaking, he asked, "What is the general still hesitating about?" ”
Chen Qing sighed and said, "I always feel that this thing is strange!" ”
The lieutenant asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Chen Qing said: "I always feel that the behavior of this Tatar army is abnormal, and it seems that it is deliberately leading us out. ”
The lieutenant said, "That's because they don't do what they can't do." ”
Chen Qing shook his head and said: "You can't say that, the Tatar army knows that the head-to-head confrontation will not be our opponent, but this time they know that there is a tiger in the mountain, and they are on the tiger mountain." Isn't that strange? ”
The deputy general was stopped by Chen Qing, but he still thought in his heart that this was an opportunity to completely annihilate the 40,000 Tatar slave army. He didn't want to miss it. You must know that this battle is won, and it is not only the Lord who has merit. The lieutenant is also meritorious. The main thing is that he wants to be the main general. As long as he makes a few achievements, he will be promoted to the main general in the next step.
And in front of us is a great opportunity to make meritorious contributions. He couldn't have missed it. However, if you want to make meritorious service, you must first convince the chief general, General Chen Qing.
And General Chen Qing, of course, also wanted to make meritorious contributions. But he was more afraid of failure. If it fails, it will be discredited. Although they all know that victory or defeat in this battle is a common thing for soldiers, but if he is really defeated, how can General Wu Qing trust him in the future?
That's one of the reasons why he doesn't want to take risks. It is also in line with his steady and conservative character.
"General." The lieutenant said. "There's some truth to what you're saying. But we got it, didn't we? The Tarnu army didn't have a single reinforcement behind it, let alone a trap. They encamped against us with these 40,000 men. There is nothing else at all. What the general called is so frustrated. I can't see it! ”
General Chen Qing said: "If we can easily see it, then it is not a cat, it is not a trap. ”
"But General, this war is something that cannot be lost and will never come again. If this Tarnu army retreats because we don't attack, we won't be able to find a second one. The lieutenant general still tried all these ways to lure General Chen Qing.
Chen Qing was naturally a little tempted, so he was silent, thinking about the pros and cons in his heart. This word is very simple, and winning the battle is a great achievement. General Wu Qing will definitely reward him. The main thing is that this disadvantage is somewhat complicated. What happens if you defeat it? That will definitely get criticism from the whole army. If the defeat is too great, not only the loss of men and horses, but also the loss of strongholds, then the head will be killed.
Also, even if it is a small defeat, it will affect the momentum of the army. General Wu Qing still didn't like it.
In this way, if this is defeated, the disadvantages will be much more serious than the advantages.
When I thought about it, that little bit of movement in my heart disappeared again.
"General, I don't think we can hesitate any longer. Even if the Tatar army is greasy, then we will bombard them with artillery first. See what they can do? The lieutenant said.
General Chen Qing thought about it again and said, "Let's wait and see!" ”
"General, if you don't wait any longer, you'll be waiting for this Tarnu army to leave." The lieutenant said eagerly.
General Chen Qing said: "It's okay, just go." We have nothing to lose. ”
The lieutenant general secretly scolded himself in his heart for how he met such a cowardly general. This is to understand this meritorious thing, but he just doesn't do it. Look at Sun Ming in the north of the family, he has won two battles. Although Cao Wen did not capture the city of Zhangzhou, McNa was because of the matter of the iron city wall, and it was really helpless. However, Cao Wen made great contributions when he broke the defense line of the Tarslave army.
And now, there is obviously a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for meritorious service in front of him, but he just can't pay attention to it in the future. It's infuriating.
Although the lieutenant thought so in his heart, he could not say it again. But he will not give up this opportunity in front of him. Then he said, "How many days does the general have to wait and see?" ”
Then General Chen Qing looked at the deputy general and said, "What? Are you in such a hurry to attack? ”
The adjutant nodded and said, "Don't tell the general, the last general is indeed a little anxious, because this is a great opportunity for meritorious service!" If you miss it, you won't have it! ”
General Chen Qing said: "Let me tell you, in this war, meritorious service is natural. But stabilizing our front is the most important thing. If we fall into the trap of the Tatar army because of our meritorious service. At that time, it will be a trivial matter whether or not to make meritorious contributions, and the loss of this front is a major matter. ”
After listening to General Chen Qing's words, the deputy general said with some disdain: "The general is a little worried!" ”
General Chen Qing said, "It's better to be safe." ”
Since the chief general has said so, the deputy general has no choice. But he was still anxious. I can't wait to lead the team out to fight the Tatar army to the death now, and then annihilate the Tatar army and make immortal achievements.
