Chapter 48 Wang Ping leads his troops back to Nanyang
Half of the hour passed, and it can be said that even if it was a night battle, this time was not too short. After all, it was shorter than this time, so there weren't that? And indeed, there were too many. For the two armies, it was really nothing. The daytime battle was longer than this time. But it was daytime after all, and it was not comparable to night. Therefore, it has been a long time now, so Wang Ping, Sun Ce and Cao Ren and others were already thinking about withdrawing the troops. After all, Sun Ce and the others came.
The goal has been achieved. Although Wang Ping is not afraid of night battles, he can fight less with the coalition forces now, so it is better to fight less. After all, he has to try his best to save his own troops. At the beginning, there were only 30,000, but now there are not many. In more than a dozen battles, even if one thousand were killed in battle at one time, how many can he win now? Obviously, sometimes the casualties are comparable.
It's a lot. So there are not many people left in the Liangzhou army now, but there are more coalition forces than them. This is inevitable. So Wang Ping also knew that his side could not hold on to the coalition forces for a long time now, and it was probably only two or three days. But he still thought that the two or three days would be almost the same now. Of course, although the coalition forces have more horses than his side,
But compared with the past, they really lost a lot, so Wang Ping felt that even at this time, they might not be able to cause much storm. After all, their own troops in Fancheng are much more than their coalition forces. Otherwise, they would go back to their hometown to farm. Really, Wang Ping knew this relatively well. If there were fewer people, then what city would be attacked? If they all went home, wouldn’t that be better? So for Fancheng, their own troops were to be like the current coalition forces.
There are so many, Wang Ping still knew about this. Of course, the people in Fancheng, plus the current coalition, and finally the Yanzhou army outside Fancheng, would not be much more than them. So Wang Ping was not unworried. If this coalition really caught up with the war in Fancheng, then once they united, their troops might be withdrawn.
So Wang Ping naturally knew that he would have to hold the coalition army for as long as possible. After all, even if he thought that his lord would be able to break Fancheng in a few days, but what is the truth? Who can tell the truth? So he could only say that he could do his best to hold the coalition army, which would naturally be better than anything else. But if it really doesn't work, he could only retreat, but he also considered it.
It's done his best. Wang Ping must have confidence in his own side, so even though he thought he could not stand it for a few days, he had confidence in the war in Fancheng. After all, in his thoughts, his lord is not his own, so... Although it was not the daytime at this time, at night, the fierce fighting situation was worse than the daytime, but it was not a world of difference, so it was not difficult to see that the battle situation was fierce at this time. For both armies, they were both
I saw hope. Needless to say, the coalition forces are now only a few people, so can't our side break through their blockade? As for the Liangzhou army, they think that the goal of our general should have been achieved. After all, our side is not saying that we should beat them, but drag them down. The soldiers also understand, so naturally they feel that the goal has been achieved.
However, seeing that the general did not do anything and was still blocking the coalition forces, the soldiers of the Liangzhou army would certainly not say anything. But now there are fewer and fewer people on their own, so they are also worried that if all their troops are wiped out one day, that is really... Although they think that their general will not be like that, no one can guarantee that this will happen, right? And seeing that the coalition forces are like this, they want to have no one left, that's fine, so this also makes the Liangzhou army.
Many soldiers had some thoughts. At this time, Wang Ping had ordered the entire army to retreat, which was enough for him. In addition to the silly boy of Trojan, the other soldiers on his side also wanted to retreat. As for the coalition forces, they naturally had the same idea. After all, the Liangzhou army had withdrawn, so they naturally would not love to fight again because it was meaningless. The coalition forces retreated at this time, because it was night, so they were not as formal as daytime. After all, who could catch up with this night? Then catch up with them.
Come on, it's not about taking advantage, it's about bad luck. Isn't it? Do you know if there are any other ambushings when the other party retreats? This is not impossible, so basically there are few people who chase them at night. It's not that there is no, but it's really, very few, too few. Both armies retreated and returned to their own battalions. Wang Ping had already started to consider when
It's about withdrawing troops. His original intention was to withdraw after his side broke Fancheng, but now, he can really support him until that day? It's not necessarily true. After all, the troops on his side are less than 10,000 now. Of course, the coalition forces also lost tens of thousands of troops. Therefore, Wang Ping also thought that if they were asked to go to Fancheng at this time, they wouldn't be too much.
It's really, really, that's the case. Wang Ping didn't think of what the most critical thing was. It was not the number of coalition troops, but whether Sun Ce could catch up with the war in Fancheng. That's it. This is the fundamental reason. Speaking of which, he could catch up with the war in Fancheng, even if Sun Bofu had only brought hundreds of people, Cao Cao could directly join forces with them to deal with the Liangzhou army. However, he must have to make Sun Ce bleed from other aspects. After all, only the Yanzhou army suffered a loss.
Cao Cao would never do it. But obviously, Wang Ping had not seen the most fundamental one yet, otherwise he would have to drag the coalition forces and not let them go north. But at this time, Wang Ping did not want to drag the coalition forces, but seeing that his own troops were getting fewer and fewer, he saw that the coalition forces were not as many as before, so he thought about retreating.
This is because he has his own considerations. First, he thinks that it has been almost done to hold the coalition forces for so long. At least he should have no problem in Fancheng. Maybe once he retreats here, Fancheng will be destroyed over there. This is not accurate. Even if there is not, it is OK to wait until the coalition forces go north to Fancheng and the city is destroyed. And second, it is Wang Pingqu.
I really feel that the coalition forces have only a few people. Even if they really catch up with the war in Fancheng, they will not be able to give them much threat. So what if they are asked to go north? Both sides have retreated. In the central army tent, Wang Ping was thinking about when to retreat. He felt that it was only these two days, but he had to take his people to retreat to Fancheng. In this way, even if his lord blames him, it is not a death sentence after all, so Wang Ping had already figured it out. He thought that instead of fighting with the coalition forces, he was fighting to the death here.
If you let your entire army be wiped out, it would be better to pull the troops to Fancheng. Even if you are there, you will recognize them. This does not mean that you are going to escape. It is really that you really don’t want to waste all your troops to block the coalition forces. So he also said to the Trojan, “General Trojan, I want to lead troops to evacuate Jiangxia and go to Fancheng in the future. What do you think?”
When Ma heard this, he really didn't understand what Wang Ping meant at first, so he asked, "What does General Wang mean? Why do you want to withdraw now?" Wang Ping did not hide it. In his opinion, Trojan horses are also here to help, but if his lord really dealt with him, he would have to bring him some of them. However, Trojan horses have made great contributions no matter how much they say. Basically, as long as it is not a big mistake, then the merits and demerits can be offset, so he is also at ease with Trojan horses, at least he can't die.
So Wang Ping said to him and finally said, "I don't know what General Trojan thinks?" When Muma heard this, he thought that you were not following the military order. If this lord blames him, we both must be "can't eat and take care of him." But he also knew that nothing he said to Wang Ping could basically change his thoughts, so Muma followed him and said, "I heard a sentence called 'The order of the king outside is unbearable'. Since the lord gave everything to the general, then it is naturally..." Trojan did not rebel
Yes, he also supported Wang Ping for a while. However, Wang Ping knew very well and was quite satisfied, because the words of Trojan horse meant that he and he were already grasshoppers on the same rope. Indeed, if he didn't express any opinions or even directly opposed him, then his lord would have to punish him at that time, but Trojan might not be punished.
But now that he said this, things will become a little different. Therefore, even if his lord wants to punish him, it is impossible. But because it is not a big mistake, he has made contributions, so there will be no particularly severe punishment. However, Wang Ping also felt that he might be punished, but even if he knew that, he still wanted that.
What I did was because I felt that I was fighting the coalition forces and the entire army was wiped out, so I would rather go to Fancheng than be in Jiangxia anymore. Wang Ping knew even more from the words of Trojan Horse that this alien race really knew some of the words of the Han people. You should know that if this was just an ordinary alien race, even if he could speak Chinese, it did not mean that they knew some idioms and common sayings. Obviously, Trojan Horse knew, and he also knew a lot, and this was used several sentences.
Wang Ping was quite satisfied with the Trojan horse, so he laughed, "Okay! If so, that's it! The next day, our army retreated to Jiangxia and headed towards Fancheng!" "No! General wise!" This Trojan also learned a lot of things from the Han people, and he was very clear about everything he flattered and flattered. This is not to say that people from other races would not flattered and flattered. Of course, they would have to do that too.
But in comparison, there are definitely not as many Han people. After all, Han people are fine. Not to mention if they are good at this, let alone. But people from other races basically don’t have this. Indeed, they pay more attention to strength. If you really have strength, I will praise you, and it’s no big deal. But if you don’t have strength, how is it worth my visit?
Do you praise you? So people from other races are actually more realistic. Of course, this is normal. After all, they are even more prey on the weak. Whoever has a big fist will work, so this... At this time, Sun Ce and Cao Ren didn't know what Wang Ping thought. Otherwise, they would not fight with the Liangzhou army tomorrow. As a result, nothing unexpected happened. The coalition forces tomorrow fought with the Liangzhou army again, but Sun Ce and the others didn't know that Wang Ping was about to retreat. As a result, they received it in the middle of the night.
The Liangzhou army retreated from the horse's report. Sun Ce and Cao Ren didn't believe it at first. After all, there were less than 10,000 people in Liangzhou, but there were always seven or eight thousand people, but now they retreated? As a result, the Liangzhou army retreated after a while. Sun Ce and Cao Ren made a quick decision and let the entire army set off overnight.
Go to Fancheng! For them, the Liangzhou army has left, why don’t they go? As for the Liangzhou army’s plan? Sun Ce and Cao Ren really don’t have that idea, and Zhou Yu, Lu Su and Pang Tong don’t think so. So there is nothing that both of them dare not move troops, but Zhou Yu and the others also guessed a little, that is, was it the Liangzhou army in Fancheng
The war has ended, so Wang Ping led his troops to retreat? It is not impossible to say this, or even this is the case. But before there is a definite news, no one will make a conclusion about it. After all, this matter has a great impact, so no mistake can be made. Originally, Sun Ce and Cao Ren meant that their coalition forces followed the Liangzhou army to see if they were going to Fancheng. As a result, because there were only 7,000 or 8,000 people, the speed was naturally faster than that of nearly 30,000. Now their coalition forces
After more than a dozen battles, the Liangzhou army was left with seven or eight thousand people, and the coalition forces had nearly 30,000. This is not actually because they lost less, but because they did have a lot of people before, so in comparison, more than 20,000 people were killed, but the coalition forces still had nearly 30,000 people. They claimed to be 50,000, of course, this is a relatively small one.
Honestly, they didn't even pretend to say 100,000. Of course, there was no problem with Sun Ce from Jiangdong to attract 100,000 troops, but it might be that he would not be able to catch up with the war in Fancheng. He also had a premonition that Fancheng might be destroyed, otherwise...
