Chapter 832: Yin Hao was defeated again

Yin Hao frowned and hesitated, although he had already realized the severity of the situation, however, the tunnel had been dug through, as long as the Fifth Legion of the King could block Li Ben's reinforcements for a while, then Lanling City was in his pocket.

"Report, General, tens of thousands of enemy reinforcements have launched a fierce attack on the camp of our Western Route Army, and the shape is very critical, please send reinforcements immediately." Just when Yin Hao hesitated, Wang Wu sent his henchmen to Yin Hao's camp to ask for help.

Yin Hao was shocked when he heard this, Wang Wu asked for help from himself, which was enough to prove the strength of the enemy's reinforcements, so he was even less confident, and thought that Wang Wu's army would soon collapse, and the main force of the enemy's reinforcements would soon enter Lanling City, so that he would send thousands of soldiers and horses to enter Lanling City from the tunnel, and he would become a turtle in the urn, and then be strangled by the enemy's reinforcements.

"General, the enemy's reinforcements are huge, General Wang is only afraid that he won't be able to resist for long, whether our army will immediately reinforce it." A subordinate asked softly.

"General, the enemy's reinforcements are in full swing, and our army has been attacking Lanling City continuously for a long time, and the division veterans are tired, besides, the strength of the enemy's reinforcements is almost the same as that of our army, and I am afraid that I will not be able to win if I rush to reinforce them, so it is better to withdraw quickly." One of the generals was worried about defeat and clenched his fists.

Yin Hao is a forward-looking and courageless person, seeing that the generals are worried about the defeat, they also begin to worry, after all, once the battle is fully defeated, the nearly 50,000 elites under his command will be completely buried, which can be an important force that he relies on to control Yangzhou, and he must not lose too much.

"Immediately send an order, let General Wang Wu lead his soldiers and horses to abandon the camp and retreat to the south, and let the soldiers and horses under General Wang Liu's command outside the east gate also evacuate, and the main force of our army will withdraw now." Yin Hao was worried about the damage to the main force, and immediately ordered the whole army to retreat.

"Yes, General." The general shouted his orders. And immediately conveyed Yin Hao's order.

Under Yin Hao's order, the main force of the Yangzhou Army immediately gave up the attack on Lanling City and fled due south.

Now. Wang Wuzheng led his soldiers to stick to the camp, and waited for the reinforcements of the main force under Yin Hao's command, due to the disadvantage of the troops, the Wang Fifth Army was under great pressure, and the camp faced the threat of being breached many times, but with the concerted efforts of all the soldiers of the Wang Fifth Army, the camp was never broken by the enemy.

"Why haven't the reinforcements arrived yet?" Seeing that Yin Hao had not been reinforced, Wang Wuda shouted. After all, at this time, he was under attack by three times the enemy's army, and his shape was very critical.

"General, the south gate is only a few miles away from the west gate, and if the reinforcements do not arrive at this time, it is enough to show that the reinforcements will not come, so our army should retreat quickly!" One of the generals said loudly.

Wang Wu heard this. Greatly annoyed, though. He could feel that the general was telling the truth, after all, Yin Hao's strategic decision-making ability, he knew it very well, and when he heard that tens of thousands of enemy reinforcements had arrived, he was afraid that he would have already messed up.

"General. General, the commander has an order, and the whole army immediately withdraws south. Just when Wang Wu was worried, the herald conveyed Yin Hao's order.

"What, retreat immediately?" Wang Wu heard this. shouted, obviously, retreating at this time means a complete defeat, and the breakthrough of Lanling City will completely lose hope.

"General, the main force of our army has been evacuated, so the general should evacuate quickly!" The herald holds his fists.

Hearing that the main army had withdrawn, Wang Wuqi stomped his feet and anxiously paced in place.

"General, since the main force has been evacuated, there is no point in our army holding on to the camp, it is better to retreat quickly." A subordinate general explained.

Wang Wu is not unwilling to retreat, but the situation at this moment is that the enemy army has been killed several times, and it is impossible to retreat calmly, if he retreats regardless of a qiē, he will definitely fall into a rout, and in this way, the loss of the army will be relatively strict, Wang Wu is naturally unwilling to let the army under his command suffer great losses, for this reason, he is extremely anxious.

Compared with Wang Wu's anxiety, Wei Tong and Le Hong, who were organizing an attack, were not much better, they thought that with their strong troops, they could break through the camp of Wang Wu's army in one fell swoop, but they attacked several times, and the camp of Wang Wu's army was still as solid as a rock, and there was no sign of being breached, and the soldiers and horses under their command lost a lot, nearly 100 people were killed, and hundreds of people were injured.

"General Le, I can't imagine that there are still generals who can fight under Yin Hao, but our army has fought with Yin Hao several times, and he has never fought with this general, today's battle, our army suffered a big setback!" Wei Tong looked at Le Hong and sighed softly.

Le Hong nodded, and said: "Yin Hao has been sitting in Yangzhou for many years, if he is incompetent, how can he hold on to today, but with the superior strength of our army, the enemy army in front of him is nothing, and our army will definitely be able to break through the enemy camp." After speaking, he looked at Wei Tong confidently.

Wei Tong nodded, and said: "General Le is right, the strength of the 10,000 horses of the Wang Fifth Army is limited, as long as our army continues to attack, it will be difficult for them to hold for a long time, but if the main force of the soldiers and horses under Yin Hao's command comes to kill, our army will not be able to take advantage." ā€

Le Hong smiled and said with disdain: "Yin Hao is just a rat, as long as he hears that the main force of our army of 30,000 has arrived, he will not be scared to run away!" Where would they dare to come to reinforcements? After saying that, he smiled again.

Wei Tong nodded approvingly, paused, and said: "The enemy general Wang Wu also has some ability, our army is just here to relieve the siege of Lanling City, why do you need to fight to the death with Wang Wu?" It's better to withdraw the army to rest for the time being, if Wang Wu is interested, he will lead the army to leave. After speaking, he looked at Le Hong.

Le Hong nodded, and said with a straight face: "What General Wei said is extremely true, our army has attacked for several rounds, and it is time to return to rest." ā€

Seeing that Le Hong agreed to withdraw the army, Wei Tong immediately ordered: "Retreat, the whole army retreats immediately." ā€

With the sound of the gong of the retreat, the 30,000 troops under the command of Wei Tong and Le Hong immediately gave up attacking Wang Wuyingzhai and retreated.

Wang Wu, who was worried, saw that the enemy's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses immediately retreated and disengaged from the army under his command, he was greatly puzzled, and raised his eyes to look at the retreating enemy army.

"General, the main force of the enemy army has retreated, this is a good opportunity for our army to pull out the camp and retreat south!" A ministry will immediately build a yƬ road.

"Yes! General, the main forces of our army have been evacuated, our army has become a lone army, if you don't take this opportunity to evacuate, when? Another general shouted.

Wang Wu looked up at the enemy soldiers and horses who had already evacuated for several miles, and suddenly felt that this was the enemy army deliberately wanting to let him go, so he immediately ordered: "Pull out the camp and retreat south, quickly." ā€

Under Wang Wu's order, the army of 10,000 immediately began to prepare for the camp, and the preparations were completed in a very short time, and then Wang Wu led the army of 10,000 under his command to quickly retreat south.

In the process of the withdrawal of the Fifth Legion of Wang, the corps of Wei Tong and Lehong, who were several miles away, did not take the opportunity to launch a pursuit, but completely let the Fifth Legion of Wang leave, after all, the purpose of their visit was to prevent Yin Hao from breaking through Lanling City, not to fight with the Yangzhou Legion.

After the Wang Sixth Army evacuated from the east gate of Lanling City, it did not evacuate directly to the south, but marched in the direction of the west gate, because Wang Liu learned that the Wang Fifth Army encountered tens of thousands of enemy reinforcements, and in the case of the withdrawal of the main force of the Yin Hao Army, he was worried that Wang Wu would not be able to support it alone, so he decided to lead his army to reinforce the Wang Fifth Army.

It didn't take long for the retreating Wang Fifth Army Corps to converge with the Wang Sixth Army Corps that had come from reinforcements, and they joined forces in one place and continued to evacuate due south.

For the failure of this attack on Lanling City, Wang Wu and Wang Liu were both angry, and they naturally all understood that this was due to Yin Hao's incompetence, but Yin Hao was their boss after all, and for this reason, the two could only complain.

Tens of thousands of troops under the command of Yin Hao evacuated Lanling City, and the crisis of Lanling City was completely lifted, and the main credit for the evacuation of Yin Hao's main army was naturally the timely reinforcement of Wei Tong and Le Hong's corps.

In Lanling City, Li Ben, Wei Tong, Le Hong and others were drinking and talking, but in Wuyuan City, dozens of miles south of Lanling City, Yin Hao and his soldiers were full of sadness.

This time, in order to break through Lanling City, they put in a lot of efforts, but they fell short, which made all the soldiers feel very bad, especially the main general Yin Hao's mood was the worst.

Yin Hao's crusade against rebellion is repeated defeats, it can be said that he has never experienced the taste of victory, and Huan Wen's impeachment step by step has made the entire Great Jin Dynasty court just under great pressure, in order to prevent Yangzhou from falling into the hands of Huan Wen, the court gave Yin Hao one last chance, hoping that he can defeat the enemy, so as to get rid of the hat of the repeatedly defeated general, and then let Huan Wen have nothing to say, but this last chance was also completely buried by Yin Hao.

In Wuyuan City, Yin Hao fell into extreme remorse, if he didn't regard the rout outside the West Gate as the enemy's reinforcements, maybe the first time he attacked, he could break through Lanling City, and the second time he attacked Lanling City, if he sent some more soldiers and horses to defend the siege equipment, he could also rely on the power of heavy siege equipment to capture Lanling City before the enemy reinforcements arrived, after all, these heavy siege equipment are so important that they should be guarded.

But remorse is useless, what has happened is impossible to change, Yin Hao is immersed in remorse and ifs, it is simply a waste of time and energy, and it is meaningless. (To be continued......)
