When the deputy general saw this, he was startled. He stood next to Xue Wu and quickly pressed his arm and said: "Commander Xue, please calm down. It is really inappropriate to attack by force at this time. In the eyes of the general, it is better to rest and discuss later."
The Liang army marched in a hurry, running for two days without stopping at all. The whole army was already exhausted. As soon as they arrived, you were about to attack.
Across the street, people in Wutong had already made preparations, waiting for work.
How can we win against an elite division with a tired division?
This is the biggest taboo among taboos.
It can be seen that Xue Wu was furious.
However, the deputy general's words calmed him down somewhat. After releasing his right hand from the hilt of the sword, he took a deep breath to calm down: "Evacuate and set up camp one after another."
"No!" the deputy general quickly accepted the order.
He planned to rest for the night and attack again tomorrow, but now that the army had reached the city, how could Zhao Mu let him evacuate so easily.
On the top of the city, seeing the Liang army preparing to change from the front to the rear, Zhao Mu said directly: "Switch to meet the enemy."
ah? Hearing this, several generals nearby were startled. Peng Shuang said: "General, when the king leaves, he ordered us to stick to the Wutong."
Zhao Mu said: "Xue Wu has already started to make mistakes. Look at their military appearance. The exhausted troops of the Liang army are nothing to worry about. General Peng can just lead his troops and fight out, and he will be able to defeat the Liang army!"
After hearing his explanation, Peng Shuang couldn't help but regain his energy when he looked at the large Liang army that had turned around. He immediately clasped his fists and said, "I have the order!"
When Xiao Yuan left, Zhao Mu was left as the general stationed in Wutong. Under his military order, the city gate was quickly opened. Peng Shuang was followed by countless Qin soldiers, holding their swords high, and swarmed out.
At this time, Liang Jun had turned around and left the city a few hundred steps away. Hearing the movement behind him, the deputy general was frightened and shouted hurriedly: "Xue Shuai!"
"That's unreasonable! Get ready to meet the enemy!" Xue Wu became angry because he didn't attack Wutong, so he won't let you retreat!
In normal times, he could command an army of more than 200,000 people in an orderly manner, but now, the commander's position is at the tail end, and the retreating army in front cannot hear his orders, nor can they see his command flag.
The rear row had turned around, but the large troops continued to evacuate, not knowing what was happening behind them.
More than a dozen messengers were galloping on horseback, shouting at the top of their lungs:
"Stop! Turn around and face the enemy."
"Stop! Turn around and face the enemy."
The crowd was in chaos. Under this situation, the Liang army was forced to engage in battle. The two sides met quickly. Peng Shuang took the lead. A large area of black armor and red tassels covered the Liang army like a tide.
As the sword slashed, blood spurted out.
The screams soon became one.
The Qin army waited for work and recuperated their strength. The Liang army ran for two days, and their legs and feet were sore. They had to fight in a hurry. Once they came into contact, they made a decision.
The fight didn't last long at all, and many people in the back row of Liang's army had already been killed or injured. In the chaos, Peng Shuang saw Xue Wu's commanding position at a glance, and without saying a word, he went straight to kill him.
He opened and closed the long knife in his hand widely, and moved quickly with his feet. Every time he struck, several Liang soldiers screamed and flew backwards, knocking down the crowd and causing a small-scale commotion.
Xue Wu was already here, and with Peng Shuang's momentum, it wouldn't take long for him to reach him.
Seeing that he was unstoppable, Liang Jun's deputy general was shocked and shouted: "General Tang! Escort Xue Shuai away quickly!"
"Xue Shuai, let's go!" Tang Yue was not a fool, and he knew that the situation was critical. After Xue Wu got on the horse, he waved his whip and slapped the horse's buttocks hard.
The war horse was in pain, and it carried Xue Wu away from the crowd and ran away first.
The deputy general also began to shout repeatedly: "Retreat! Retreat quickly!"
In this battle outside the city, the Liang army was in a state of disarray. The army of more than 200,000 people retreated hastily, abandoning their helmets and armor along the way.
Xue Wu made a serious mistake. He was anxious to attack Wutong. Unexpectedly, Zhao Mu seized this opportunity and beat him instead.
After the army finally regrouped, Liang's army suffered tens of thousands of casualties. Xue Wu's chest felt tight and he gritted his teeth angrily: "The Qin army bullied others too much! They bullied others too much!"
All the generals of the Liang Army at the scene still looked dejected. After hearing this, they even lowered their heads and looked at each other. No one responded.
This defeat greatly demoralized the Liang army!
It was already in a dilemma. They were about to attack Wutong, but before they could fight, they lost a battle first. You can imagine their mentality.
In Wutong City.
Peng Shuang returned with a great victory. When he saw Zhao Mu, he couldn't help but smile heartily and said carelessly: "The general is right. The Liang army is indeed a tired army. They rushed to the battle and were defeated in one blow!"
"It's just a pity that after Tang Yue broke off, he couldn't continue to pursue the enemy."
Zhao Mu also looked at him with a smile: "General Peng has fought very well in this battle. After this battle, the morale of the Liang army has been dampened. Next, Xue Wu will definitely make mistakes in his hurry."
There are 150,000 Qin troops in Wutong. With the current strength of the Liang army and Xue Wu's own condition, trying to capture this place is nothing more than a dream.
The main force was blocked and unable to return to the country for reinforcements. Xiao Yuan's 50,000-strong army was approaching Liangdu.
With such a big movement, the Liang Kingdom's court had naturally received the news.
In the court hall, the ministers were whispering to each other, all with anxious faces, and the scene was in chaos.
"The Qin army circled back and attacked Wutong, cutting off the connection between the main force of our army and the royal court..."
"The army of King Qin is less than a hundred miles away..."
"This, this, this, what should I do..."
The ministers were all anxious, and on the king's chair directly above him, Prince Liang closed his eyes deeply.
He no longer wanted to stop these ministers, but asked quietly: "Are there any troops in the country that can be mobilized?"
The king spoke, and although the discussion stopped, the scene became quiet, and no one answered.
Obviously, Liang Kingdom has no soldiers.
Seeing this, King Liang smiled desolately: "Yanzhou, Yanzhou, Mr. Cai, your strategy of retreating to Yanzhou is really exquisite."
This statement was obviously blaming Cai Yan.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with the latter's strategy. It can only be said that there was a problem with Xue Wu's defense. He did not expect that things would develop to this point.
King Liang blamed him. Cai Yan moved the corners of his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end he remained silent and lowered his head.
The strategy of retreating to Yanzhou was also strongly supported by the old prime minister of Liang State at that time. At this time, the old prime minister was afraid that the king of Liang would be punished, so he did not dare to speak out.
The ministers remained silent, with their heads lowered.
King Liang looked around and sneered: "You civil servants are usually very eloquent. Each one is more eloquent than the other. Why are you all mute now?"
"Haha, Xue Wu, Xue Wu, the safety of Liang Country is entirely in your hands..."
