This heavy snowfall interrupted the fighting for the past few days. Chen Si didn't know whether to be happy or desperate.
Fortunately, the soldiers under his command can finally take a breath, but desperately, under the influence of the heavy snow, it is even more difficult to transport logistical supplies. This heavy snow will affect at least four or five days, and the army's food and grass can only last three days. Heaven, in other words, the enemy does not need to attack, they only need to wait, and Chen Si's army will automatically collapse.
Chen Si knew very well that it would be meaningless to continue fighting this war, and his side's defeat was already certain.
But the King of Beidi gave a death order, and even if the battle was fought to the death, the enemy must be stopped.
From the beginning, Chen Si had no option to retreat. Faced with this "snow of death", even Chen Si couldn't help but lament that God was going to destroy Di.
Wu Kang and Jing Peng also knew very well that the defeat was certain, but they could not make the suggestion of "retreat".
Even if the whole army is annihilated, they must fight hard.
In fact, there is a high probability that they will not see the moment when the entire army is annihilated. After three days, food and grass will be cut off, and morale will begin to waver. After four days, a mutiny may occur. Even if they suppress it with all their strength, they will not wait until the fifth day. , the breath of despair will spread throughout the army.
Wu Kang looked at the crackling brazier and couldn't help but sigh: "Of all the generals in the world, I only admire two people. One is General Chen and the other is Qin Feng."
"General Chen, you didn't lose to Qin Feng, you lost to the weather and the situation."
After accepting the fact that "defeat was certain", the three of them felt a lot more relaxed.
Chen Si smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I originally thought that Qin Feng would definitely win this battle. Unfortunately, I lost before the fight even started. So far, I haven't been able to see Qin Feng. I'm afraid We have no chance to meet each other in this life."
"Do you know, according to the spies' reports, what the enemy did last night?"
Sensing the doubtful looks in Wu Kang and Jing Peng's eyes, Chen Si said helplessly: "The enemy troops built stoves overnight. There must be many people in their army who are good observers of the sky. They knew that the heavy snow was coming, so after ending the offensive, they set up tents. Build a stove, roast meat, make tea, and recharge your batteries.”
Seeing that Wu Kang and Jing Peng were silent, Chen Si said to himself: "As early as three days ago, the generals on the Western Front reported that this battle could no longer continue and that the only way to survive was to retreat. strength."
"I was concerned about the impact and suppressed the matter so that no one knew about it."
"Hehehe, the Western Front Army fought with the Beixi Expeditionary Brigade and brought back the body of a Beixi soldier from the battlefield."
"This man was wearing light armor, and the breastplate was specially reinforced, which did not affect his movement but also provided maximum protection. In the end, this man died under blunt force, with eight arrows stuck in his body. "
"Being brave and fearless is just one of them."
"The general on the Western Front ordered people to dismantle all the equipment of the Beixi soldier. In addition to the armor, he also carried a short sword, a rifle, a short bow, and sixteen arrows. The arrows were divided into Eight deformed arrows designed to kill lightly armored targets, and eight armor-piercing arrows designed to kill heavily armored targets. At the same time, there is a kettle, a wine bottle, and two grain bags."
"Although the wine pot is small, it is filled with strong liquor. It is the liquor brewed by Qin Feng himself, which allows the soldiers to keep themselves warm when they cannot receive logistical support."
"In the grain bag, there are fried millet, steamed wheat cakes, and ten pieces of dried bacon the size of apricot kernels."
"There are also countless small items such as fire breakers, hemostatic medicine, and cable ties."
"And this is just the most ordinary Beixi soldier."
After hearing Chen Si's words, not to mention Jing Peng, even Wu Kang, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, was speechless for a long time, feeling that his perception had been completely subverted.
An ordinary Beixi soldier carries various equipment that is so meticulous that even if he gets separated from the army, he can survive alone in the harsh wilderness for more than half a month.
Now Wu Kang finally understands why even a small enemy supply camp, attacked and besieged by dozens of rangers, can easily organize a defense on the spot, and the victory is small, and most of the time, it can It took until reinforcements arrived and drove away the rangers.
The cost of training one Beixi soldier is enough to create three ordinary soldiers...
And this is just a single soldier. If you add the support of the baggage battalion and the logistics battalion, the cost of each Beixi soldier is equivalent to four to five ordinary soldiers.
Beixi's soldiers are armed to the teeth and are extremely elite.
Even if it is a frontal battle, there is no army in the world that can penetrate the Beixi Expeditionary Brigade head-on. However, the commander of the Beixi Expeditionary Brigade is Xu Mo, second only to Qin Feng in the entire Beixi County. Generals are highly regarded by Qin Feng and have extremely high autonomy. As a result, the Beixi Expeditionary Brigade is even more powerful.
Although the main frontal force led by Li Zhang was not as exaggerated as the Beixi Expeditionary Brigade, it was still extremely wealthy.
Obviously the army has advanced to the northern line of Ezhou, and after days of fierce fighting, they are still able to camp in place, barbecue and cook tea...
Wu Kang even suspected that Qin Feng had secretly planned this war long before he went to Beidi as an envoy, otherwise he would never have been able to improvise so many supplies.
The Eagle Brigade, which is said to be unparalleled in the world, can't help but be dwarfed by it at this time.
Wu Kang hesitated again and again, but finally expressed his thoughts: "General, it's up to you to make the decision now."
"If we continue to fight, our army will be defeated in five days or seven days."
"By that time, the enemy army will definitely march all the way to the capital."
"But if we preserve enough strength, set up another hill, occupy a wealthy land, and continue to resist, there may be a glimmer of hope."
As soon as these words came out, the room in the big tent became extremely quiet.
How could Chen Si not understand what Wu Kang meant? He clearly wanted to betray King Beidi and save the country in a devious way.
As the most trusted general of the Beidi King, Wu Kang would have the idea of rebellion without hesitation, which made Chen Si somewhat unexpected.
Jing Peng, who was sitting aside, strongly supported Wu Kang's suggestion. Obviously, Jing Peng and Wu Kang had already passed their qi before this, so they took advantage of today's opportunity to inform Chen Si, hoping that Chen Si could cooperate with them.
Jing Peng said earnestly: "General, instead of waiting to die, it is better to make another plan!"
If it had been left in the past, Chen Si would have sternly refuted it, but now, he has no choice, whether to stay and wait for death, or to save the country through curves, there seems to be nothing to struggle with.
The most important point is that with Jing Peng here, the teacher will be famous.
