Chapter 105 Evacuation late at night
"Master Commander, why did Yuwen Hu suddenly call out the gold and withdraw his troops?" After Hongwu told Zhao Ziyun about the battle situation, he expressed his doubts.
"It's very simple. Yuwenhu wants to reduce casualties and let our army take the initiative to give him the Black Domain Plateau!" Zhao Ziyun said incisively.
"Don't let it go! Yuwen Hu was too naive to think that his Black Rhino Beast Army had strong attack power. If you want to take down our army's third line of defense on the Black Domain Plateau, you must at least make preparations to pay a price!" Hearing this, Hong Wu shouted immediately. Even though he had no chance of winning, he could not lose this tone.
"That is, if the Black Domain Plateau is given to the Xiqi Army, there will be no danger behind our army to defend. Once it is chased by the Xiqi Army, our army will be in an extremely passive situation!" General Black Helmet also said.
"Master Commander, why don't we fight against the Xiqi army on this third line of defense. As long as we fight all the Black Rhino Beast Army of the Xiqi army, the advantages of the Xiqi army will no longer exist!" Some generals expressed their opinions and were filled with righteous indignation.
"Now the city wall is broken. If we don't retreat, Yuwen Hu will not send the Black Rhino Beast Army, but will send another 800,000 elite soldiers to fight us. Our current troops are at an absolute disadvantage. Yuwen Hu hopes that we will fight with him!" Zhao Ziyun shook his head and said.
"This..." The generals suddenly had nothing to say. Yes, if Yuwen Hu sent another 800,000 elite soldiers to fight the attrition war with the Qin army, this would be a dead end for the Qin army.
"But just giving up the position to them so easily, isn't it too cheap for the Xiqi army?" Hongwu looked at Zhao Ziyun helplessly.
"Stay green mountains here, don't be afraid of burning firewood. The Xiqi army has too strong advantages, so our army still cannot fight hard!" Zhao Ziyun said helplessly. At the moment, I'm afraid that Nangong Yu can take action as soon as possible.
"But Lord Commander, when we withdraw, we will not only return all the occupied Xiqi dynasty to them, but also have no danger to defend the borders of our country. If this continues, our great Qin Dynasty will definitely be trampled by Xiqi iron hoofs?" General Black Helmet said sadly.
"As for the withdrawal of troops, I have decided to seize them. What are you afraid of losing some territory? As long as we destroy the Black Rhino Beast Army, our army will be able to fight back on the whole line and take back all the lost things!" Zhao Ziyun looked at the generals with a studded look and said seriously, "That's it. The three armies retreat immediately at midnight tonight!"
Seeing Zhao Ziyun so calm, all the generals comforted him a little. Perhaps, the commander really has a good plan to defend against the enemy.
"Brother Nangong, do we want all these things? It's a pity to lose them." Seeing that many utensils in the camp could not be taken away, Qin Yuner looked at Nangong Yu with some regret. After receiving the commander's emergency retreat order, Qin Yuner could not carry too much.
"Carrying too much things will become a burden. If you don't retreat quickly, you will be caught up by the Xiqi army. If you lose it, you will lose it!" Nangong Yu said calmly, feeling a little emotional in his heart. Although Qin Yuner came out of the royal family, she did not develop the habit of extravagance and waste like the people in the palace. This is very rare.
As for the issue of Zhao Ziyun's order to withdraw the troops urgently, Nangong Yu had already expected that the third line of defense on the Black Domain Plateau would not be able to defend, and fighting hard would only sacrifice the lives of soldiers in vain.
Moreover, if you retreat along the way, there is no danger to defend. The Qin army will retreat to its own border, and the Xiqi army will force hundreds of kilometers into the Qin territory.
The battle was so severe that Zhao Ziyun would definitely not be able to sit still anymore and would soon come to him to ask about the method of destroying the Black Rhino Beast Army.
However, the Qin army fought three battles with the Xiqi army on the Black Domain Plateau, with the number of casualties reaching 100,000. Now the third line of defense has to retreat without fighting, which has initially caused the Xiqi army. The Qin army can no longer resist the sharpness of the Black Rhino Beast Army.
Therefore, Nangong Yu should also tell Zhao Ziyun some strategies. Of course, in order to get the Xiqi army to take the bait, Zhao Ziyun and the Xiqi army have to fight hard for a few battles.
"But it's a pity to lose these things!" Qin Yuner also understood what Nangong Yu meant, but she still felt very sorry.
"Okay, Xiaoyuer, you can get it back if you don't have anything, and you only have one life. Now the Xiqi army is under pressure. We can't drag the army down, we'll lose it all." Nangong Yu said decisively.
"Okay." Qin Yuner had no choice but to nod.
As Nangong Yu expected, after he and Qin Yuner simply packed up some light items they carried with him, Zhao Ziyun hurriedly found them.
"Have you finished packing up?" Although Zhao Ziyun had a smile on his face, this smile was extremely reluctant and his eyes were full of sorrow.
"Haha, Master Commander, I can set off now!" Nangong Yu smiled happily, "If Master Commander doesn't feel disgusted, I'll withdraw with you."
Seeing that Nangong Yu had a smile on his face, Zhao Ziyun couldn't help but feel a little relieved. It seemed that Nangong Yu was confident.
"What does the military advisor say? How could I dislike you? Let's retreat with me!" Zhao Ziyun hurried over, hooked Nangong Yu's shoulder with one hand intimately, lowered his voice and whispered in Nangong Yu's ear: "Mr. Military advisor, the battle situation has reached this point. Don't keep some things secret from me, the commander of the three armies."
"To be honest, Master Commander, I also know the pressure you are under. Let's talk on the way." Nangong Yu also replied in a low voice in Zhao Ziyun's ear.
"Okay!" Zhao Ziyun was excited. He finally knew Nangong Yu's plan. He quickly said to the personal soldiers who were following him: "Arrang a large soundproof carriage for me and the military advisor. The lighting inside the car must be good!"
"yes!"
Taking advantage of the darkness and taking advantage of the fact that the Xiqi army was not good at night fighting, the Qin army was all set off. Nangong Yu followed Zhao Ziyun in a large and soundproof carriage. Although Qin Yuner was not in this carriage, Nangong Yu had already sent his personal troops to protect Qin Yuner, so there would be no surprises.
Nangong Yu slowly unfolded the map he had prepared in front of Zhao Ziyun, but Zhao Ziyun couldn't wait. He reached out to help Nangong Yu expand the map quickly. There were three special cities marked on the map, which were actually the border fortress city of the Great Qin Dynasty.
"Military advisor, you are..." Zhao Ziyun pointed to the three marked cities and looked at Nangong Yu in confusion.
"Master Commander, these three cities I marked are all important barriers to my border. What I mean is that after our army withdraws from the border, we will fight three hard battles with the Xiqi army in these three cities, and then abandon the city!" Nangong Yu explained.
"What, fight three tough battles and then abandon the city?" Zhao Ziyun couldn't help but stare at the top of his eyes and said, "Mr. Military advisor, your plan is right. These three cities are not only my border fortress, but also an important salt-producing place for my Great Qin. If this place is lost, what face can I have to meet the emperor and the ancestors of the Zhao family?"
"Precisely because these three cities are salt-producing places at my border, the Xiqi army will definitely attack at all costs, and they cannot defend it. They can only fight with the Xiqi army for a few days first, then abandon the city and retreat, so as to make the Xiqi army think that our Qin army is really unable to resist its edge. After that..." Nangong Yu pointed his finger at a city marked with food and grass, and said, "And after the Xiqi army captured my three important salt-producing barriers, they will definitely take advantage of the victory to attack our Tucheng. Tucheng is the location of our army's food and grass camp. At the same time, it is also the place where the entire army of the Xiqi Black Rhinoceros Beast Army was wiped out. As for the destruction of the Black Rhinoceros Beast Army, the morale of the Xiqi army was severely damaged and its strength was greatly damaged, and the morale of our army would inevitably rise. At that time, take the opportunity to counterattack..."
