Chapter 443: Losing Courage

What is talent for a general who commands an army? It is not simply the ability to command the army, after all, it is in the great righteousness...... In fact, under the suppression of reputation, as long as a general is not a waste material to the point of hopelessness, he can always rely on his reputation to form a constraint on the army.

The more stable the ruling class, even if the general leading the army is incompetent to a certain extent, the army will not dare to disobey, which is why there are always incompetent generals in history who can command the army, knowing that they will be defeated if they continue to fight, but the army still obeys the main reason. In fact, it is not that the army has no opinion on the general, but that under the suppression of the righteous name, even if he knows that it is inappropriate, he can only accept his orders, this is the deterrence of the army from the entire force, and to put it simply, it is the basis for the power of the fox and the tiger.

In addition to the ability to command, there are many places where a general who can command the army can show his talents, and the grasp of the battle situation is actually the most basic thing for a general. Then, in addition to the grasp of the battle situation, the capture ability of the fighter is very particular. Only a good general who can capture fighters can have a full understanding of the entire grand strategy, can make up for the lack of grand strategy or maintain the implementation of the entire grand strategy, that is not only a general, it has risen to the point of being handsome.

Sima Xin is very smart, and he is not a stupid person from the perspective of being able to judge the situation. He also has the ability to avoid evil, and when he encounters trouble, he will always choose the most beneficial aspect for himself. It is impossible for such a person not to find that Lu Zhe is extremely lacking in independent generals, and he knows very well in his heart that there will be punishments for disobedience, but when there is an extreme lack of excellent generals, Lu Zhe will not only see disobedience, but will cherish a handsome talent who can cooperate with the grand strategy to make up for the lack of strategy, after all, Lu Zhe is a person with great ambitions, and he needs a group of excellent subordinates to realize that ambition together.

Once again, he chose the most beneficial course of action, and Sima Xin was also mentally prepared. Of course, he knew that as long as he was a monarch, he would be jealous of his subordinates who were against his orders, but he thought that he had enough time, very, enough time to dilute the impression that this disobedience had left on Lu Zhe, and he also had enough ingenuity to make a loyal gesture after exerting his skills.

Breaking through is absolutely necessary to break through, but at the same time as breaking through, you have to show your skills, so after breaking through, you choose to retreat in the direction of Nanjun, Sima Xin is at least eighty percent sure that when his master learns of his move, he is more surprised than angry at his disobedience to military orders.

After a day and a half and two nights of fierce fighting in Luoxian County, Sima Xin tried his best to show his extraordinary talents, and he had to take care of the fatigue and exhaustion of each army to avoid too many unnecessary losses. It is also necessary to annihilate Baiyue's elite troops on a large scale, and at the same time, it is necessary to mobilize troops to make Baiyue's side feel that they are about to be unable to support it.

Very busy, in order to get a better future for himself in the future, Sima Xin did not stop at the commander of the legion, but also to gain a pivotal position in the future empire, he exceeded the limit of his ability, and did not have any sleep in two days while commanding the troops and making all kinds of confusing arrangements for Baiyue.

His own side killed 1,000 people in the battle and annihilated 10,000 people in Baiyue, and his own losses reached 5,000 in Baiyue, and 50,000 were also annihilated. He's waiting. continued to wait, and finally waited for the battle report that his side lost a soldier and Baiyue also paid at least ten people. At this time, he should have roared loudly, breaking through the battle loss of ten to one, indicating that the elite on Baiyue's side had been consumed to a certain extent on the flesh battlefield.

After this step, what disobedience has become a trivial matter, and he Sima Xin has already written his own glory in Luo County. The extraordinary talent of a peerless general was shown to his own master, and he should send someone to report to the monarch at the same time as he broke through.

Breaking through, the troops that have been fighting continuously are almost at the limit, and they must break through.

At the time of the breakout. Sima Xin stopped the military law Cao's move to burn the grain and grass hoarded in Luo County, and said, "Stay, the Baiyue people are just temporarily keeping it for us." ”

Where is the military law Cao willing to listen? He sternly said: "It is a great sin to be an enemy. ”

"The losses of the Baiyue people are too great. We must make the illusion that we don't even have time to burn the grain and grass and flee in panic, otherwise these two days of hard work will be in vain. Sima Xin was explaining, but his face was full of the majesty of a famous general.

At least more than 100,000 Baiyue people were killed in half a month, and no less than 200,000 casualties were inflicted on Baiyue, and this number may be more, and the majesty accumulated with blood and qi was shocked even by Cao Cao, who had a privilege in the army.

Lu Zhejun's military law Cao and the school are very special, Sima Xin can never be stupid without conflicting with him, but leaving food and grass is really important for his strategy, so even if he knows that he will be recorded a stain afterwards, he decided to admit it.

Broke through, really broke through, those damn Lu Zhejun finally couldn't bear the pressure and fled, the Baiyue people who confirmed this were ecstatic, but Yi Hu Song and Su Wuzhu, who slowly calculated how many people they had lost, couldn't laugh.

Within half a month, not counting the more than 50,000 people who died and 60,000 or 70,000 people who were wounded in order to let the defenders of Luoxian County develop the pride of the enemy, from the attack on Luoxian Chengchi to the breakthrough of Sima Xin's troops, there were more than 70,000 headless corpses without heads, and at least nearly 150,000 Baiyue people were wounded, and it had to be calculated that 120,000 Baiyue people were killed in just half a month, and 220,000 Baiyue people were lightly and seriously injured.

How so? For the Baiyue people, this is a victory that cost 340,000 dead and wounded, such a casualty figure makes anyone's hands tremble when they see it, and it seems that the 340,000 dead and wounded to Lu Zhejun caused 15,000 deaths, and it is impossible to judge what the light and serious injuries of those fleeing Lu Zhejun are, but the translator Song is more inclined to those soldiers who led the army to break through must be wounded.

"The seriously injured will slowly die in the next few days, so the death toll will not stop at the number of 120,000, it is estimated that there will be at least 150,000." After all, in the era of cold weapons, unless the head was cut off, there were only a few people who died on the spot, and the real trouble was that there was no mature treatment method after being injured, and it was lost due to excessive bleeding or lack of treatment.

"Alas, counting those who are disabled, we have made it impossible for at least 230,000 Baiyue people to take up weapons to fight in order to capture Luoxian County." Yi Hu Song was very sad, and began to wonder whether he had done something wrong or right to pave the way for the founding of the country in order to inspire his mind.

It's terrifying! It's just 50,000 Lu Zhe's army, and nearly 500,000 Baiyue people have gathered before and after to come over and fight hard with these 50,000 Lu Zhe's army, and they are still fighting like this when they have an absolute numerical advantage, will Baiyue's founding really be so smooth?

"Now that we have taken the city, do we retreat according to the plan, or do we ......" Su Wuzhu's eyes were a little uncertain.

"Withdraw, bring those captured food, weapons, and armor, and we will withdraw according to the opportunity, abandon Changsha County, and completely withdraw to the south, and withdraw to the deep mountains and old forests that belong to us." Yihu Song did not hesitate, and the goals they wanted to achieve when they came to Changsha County were achieved.

Can't read it, right? The Baiyue people colluded with the four clans to capture Changsha County, set up a defense line in Changsha County, and wantonly killed and captured slaves.

How can a nation become strong and united? Except for the desperate moment when the nation is about to be destroyed, the most effective way is to win in foreign wars, use victory to create momentum, and also use the momentum brought by victory to achieve the goal of unity.

In the past, the Baiyue people knew that the confrontation with the Chinese army could only be chosen in the deep mountains and old forests, and the advantages of the Chinese in the plains and places with cities would be infinitely magnified, if it were not for the small number of troops of the Chinese army going south, Yi Hu Song thought that he could achieve a few victories, and Lu Zhe went south not 50,000 but more, and they would not even think about it and would run away immediately.

The land is very important, but it is more important to ensure the survival of the ethnic group, if you really look at the territory of the territory, the place where Baiyue should attack should be Qianzhong (Cangwu County), instead of first focusing on the soft persimmon Wu Rui, and then fighting with the army of Lu Zhe, who has few troops.

So that is to say, after the Baiyue people won the victory of Luo County, they would choose to retreat no matter what?

Correct, too correct, especially after only 50,000 Lu Zhe's army can cause such terrible casualties to Baiyue, it is strange that Song and Wu Wuzhu dare to stay, after all, there are more than 50,000 troops under Lu Zhe, if Lu Zhe wants to send troops, he can pull one, two, three, or four anytime and anywhere...... In fact, it's seven or eight fifty thousand!

"We ...... Find an opportunity to send an envoy to meet Lu Zhe and emulate his ancestors, right? Su Wuzhu was obviously frightened, and talked about the old story of Bai Yue's nominal allegiance to the King of Chu.

Yi Hu Song's face was cloudy, if he surrendered nominally, then the victory of attacking Wu Rui and paying a heavy price to defeat Luo County, wouldn't those efforts to increase Baiyue's will be in vain?

"It's too strong, it's really too strong, if Lu Zhe wants to attack Changsha County, we will definitely not be able to withstand it." Su Wuzhu said very quietly, for fear of provoking Yi Yu Song, who was in a somewhat strange mental state.

What they didn't know was that they went to find Lu Zhe, and Lu Zhe had already come to the door by himself, and under the roaring hooves of the first batch of cavalry troops, there were already hundreds of Yue people who had become dead souls. (To be continued......)
