Ju Nan gritted his teeth: "Damn it, these island barbarians really want to fight us! General Shao, let's quickly notify Peng Shuai and ask him to quickly move closer to us, join forces, and fight the Jin army here. !”
Suddenly, a burst of rapid footsteps sounded from outside. Ju Nan frowned and said sternly: "Asshole, there is a military discussion going on here, didn't you see it?"
A scout with a flag on his back ran up and knelt down on one knee: "General, about a hundred miles to the south, there is a large group of enemy cavalry approaching our army quickly. Judging from the fire, there are at least five or six thousand cavalry, and they are only two miles away from us. The clock is ticking, please make a quick decision!"
Ju Nan opened his eyes wide and was speechless for a long time. After a long time, he shouted: "What?! Five or six thousand riders? How is this possible!"
Shao Bao gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Deputy Commander, it seems that the Jin State has been hiding its strength. They can eat the generals in one bite. It is not surprising that there are thousands of cavalry. They may be taking advantage of the victory to pursue them and want to directly Attacking us!"
Ju Nan punched Shuai Ben, causing the wooden box full of arrows to jump twice. His eyes widened and he said sternly: "The Jin army bullied people so much that I don't believe it. We, the Qin Cavalry, , will be afraid of his thousands of troops! Send the order, the whole army must gather, form formation, and follow me to fight!"
Shao Bao quickly raised his hands and said anxiously: "Deputy Commander, you must not do it. It is night now, we don't know the true strength of the enemy's army, and the front army has been wiped out, and the morale of the army is already unstable. If we fight at this time, we may lose a lot!"
It was as if a basin of cold water had been poured down on him. After a long time, he sighed: "You are right. In terms of the art of war, the risk of a strong attack is too great now. So what should we do now?"
Shao Bao frowned: "The only solution now is to fight here with open fire, surrounded by suspicious soldiers, while our army quickly retreats north to meet up with General Peng's main force. The Jin army can occupy at most one of our empty camps. We are cavalry." , there is not much food and baggage, and there will be nothing left for the enemy!"
Ju Nan's expression changed: "What, you want me to flee without fighting? General Shao, how can you so boost the enemy's ambition and destroy our prestige?"
Shao Bao gritted his teeth: "As a general, you need to know how to advance and retreat. The current battle situation is extremely unfavorable to our army. A strong attack is likely to fail. Retreating is the best policy. The five or six thousand cavalry of the Jin army are just the vanguard. How many are behind? It’s hard to say, but if our army and the enemy’s cavalry get stuck in the dark, and a large group of enemy infantry arrives from behind, we won’t be able to leave even if we want to!”
Ju Nan began to sweat on his forehead and murmured: "Can't we rely on this camp to defend it?"
Shao Bao sighed: "Deputy Commander, we are cavalry. This temporary camp does not have good protection at all. We only have some simple fences, tents, and not even arrow towers or sentry towers. If we want to fight with others here, it is better to They were pulled out and relied on the mobility of the cavalry to fight in the field. But General Duyan’s five thousand cavalry couldn’t even hold out for two hours. We ten thousand people just go out to fight, how long can we last?!”
Ju Nan let out a long sigh, sat back on the handsome chair slumpedly, closed his eyes, and shook his head: "I led my cavalry to fight without permission. I wanted to make achievements and surpass Peng Chao, but now that I have done this, I have to do the opposite. How can I hold my head high in the future if I surrender to others?!"
Shao Bao curled up his lips, took a step forward, and whispered: "Deputy Commander, you can't be impulsive at this time. A strong enemy is currently approaching, and the attack is menacing. I'm afraid the entire plan to attack Huainan will be changed. Can we safely bring this army together?" It's a good thing to bring him back and defend Pengcheng. Go back first. I'll help you speak to Governor Peng. Even in front of the King of Heaven, I will say that it was Duyan himself who accidentally fell into an ambush. We shrink and get closer to the main force. There will be no problem with the choice.”
Ju Nan gritted his teeth and stood up. Ten thousand reluctances were written on his face, but he still said in a deep voice: "Send the order and gather quickly. There are open fires all over the camp, and straw men are placed behind the fence to show off their bluff, while the army Then we will divide into three groups to withdraw from the rear camp gate and quickly move towards Pengcheng!"
As he spoke, he walked out of the tent. After walking a few steps, he suddenly thought of something. He turned to Shao Bao and smiled slightly: "General Shao, the two thousand troops you command are the elite of our cavalry. Please trouble me." You're done."
Two hours later, Liu Yu was in Junan's handsome tent. The smell of sheep from those barbarians still remained here, and he was surrounded by his brothers who were in high spirits. Tan Pingzhi was sitting in Junan. Sitting on the handsome chair, he laughed and said: "I guess this is the chair that is hard to sit on. Grandma's chair is still warm."
Wei Yongzhi's three hare lips moved: "These barbarians ran very fast. In two hours, the camp of more than 10,000 people was completely evacuated. Those sergeants were also unlucky and didn't even have a good night's sleep. If you go, you have to get up and run away at night."
He Wuji smiled and shook his head: "But when they left, they knew that they extinguished the fires by peeing. Even after they left, they still disgusted us. Ji Nu, this camp is now full of these people who peed. The smell is too bad, should we change places?"
Xiang Jing curled his lips: "Brother Jinu, don't the Hu people have no food and baggage for the war? Why do we have no food and grass when we enter the camp? Can they still carry the baggage with them when they flee in such a hurry?"
Liu Yu said with a smile: "These Hu cavalry are very mobile. Unlike our infantry in the Central Plains, who have to use heavy baggage vehicles to transport grain, grass and ordnance during battles. Their cavalry often carry five to ten days of dry food, with dried meat as their food." Lord, the front is two to three hundred miles away, and the cattle, sheep, and grain and grass are in the rear camp. According to the prisoners, the Qin army's logistics general is named Shao Bao. It is difficult for him to move together this time. The grain and grass are It is to build up troops in the rear, and the troops in the front are only responsible for fighting, so this time they lost the forward camp, and they only need to withdraw troops, not food."
He Wuji nodded: "In fact, the same is true for our army. Food roads are life to the army. Often the place where food is stored is hundreds of miles away from the front. Every day, civilians need to transport food to the camp in front. But this time We marched all the way forward and scared off the Qin army, and we didn’t have to worry about the food and grass in the rear."
Having said this, He Wuji looked at Liu Yu: "Jinnu, we have traveled more than 200 miles from Guangling to here, which is a bit far from the main camp. Now we have successfully scared off the enemy. , how about stationing here and waiting for backup?"
Liu Yu shook his head, a cold light flashed in his eyes: "No, we can't stop now, keep moving forward, keep attacking, believe me, if we drive the enemy all the way to fight like this, they will become more and more timid. Marshal Xuan and General Liu will definitely know that I The intention, reinforcements and supplies, are just ahead!"
