Chapter 339

Even if it is to retreat, it is not to run regardless. It will only make the Han Army easily solve the troops who have lost their leadership. At that time, Yao Yizhong will really be unable to escape.

Moreover, although the sudden change of the war situation is extremely unfavorable to the Qiang troops, Yao Yizhong does not think it has reached the point of irreparability. You know, although the Qiang troops have been consumed repeatedly, there are still 150000 or 60000 combat power left, which is about three times more than the Han army.

Through Yao Yizhong's efforts, the chaos of the Qiang troops was gradually brought under control. Although some parts were completely eroded, some parts also began to fight back, that is, the fight back of the Qiang troops seemed very weak.

"It's good that the position of the floating bridge on this side of Yingpan hasn't been lost." Yao Yizhong is glad that he has chosen elite to stick to the floating bridge: "the rest of the positions... Lose and lose."

There are more than 30 floating bridges built by the Qiang nationality. There are four floating bridges connecting the North Bank of the Yellow River from Yingpan on the south bank, each with a width of about four feet, and the widest floating bridges in other locations are only three feet.

The current situation is that the Han Army has turned to attack and the Qiang army has turned to defend here. The change of situation can be said to occur only in a very short time, that is, only with a perfect control system for the force can it react. If there is no perfect system, even the commander can react.

The Han Army's counterattack was very strong. It was the troops coming to help that swept the periphery and forced the Qiang troops to shrink. Then the Han army began to counterattack in the barracks that had been pressed all the time.

At least 25000 Han troops rushed out of the camp, and began to fight back in all four directions. Especially, the Han troops in the North battlefield made the Qiang high-level look very ugly.

"They have been forbearing!" Yin Bi looked pale, shook his lips and said, "look at the Han Army, they had a plan to lure us to attack from the beginning."

Up to now, as long as people with brains can't understand that the hardship shown by the Han army before is an illusion. Everything is setting up a game. It's just that they are still excited about breaking through the Han Army's defense line.

"There's the military Lord..." Zhang raccoon looked calm. He was stunned when he saw something. Then he continued to ask, "what rules does the military Lord have?"

Yin Bi looked at Zhang Raccoon's line of sight. There was a Han Army entering his own camp. The Qiang soldiers just resisted a little and collapsed.

"The encirclement seems to be unsustainable." Zhang raccoon asked again, "what instructions does the military Lord have?"

The Han armies that have appeared are very brave. Most of them fight silently. Only a few Han armies will shout slogans, generally the battle horn of "Han army is powerful", and a "Wansheng" will sound from time to time.

In terms of past experience, Yin Bi knew that the Han army would shout "Wansheng" only when his own generals were killed, which means that four generals have been killed by the Han army.

Yao Yizhong's troops have a characteristic, that is, they maintain the tradition of the Hu people. For example, the soldiers of a tribe are led by the leader or leader of the tribe, but they also have officers at all levels with the characteristics of Chinese civilization.

Among the four killed generals, three were tribal leaders or leaders. As soon as they died, the soldiers of the tribe would turn around and run away without hesitation. Naturally, the Han Army thought that it had killed an important person of the other party. Shouting slogans was not only to stimulate our morale, but also a kind of excitement.

Yin Bi doesn't know what Yao Yizhong is going to do. Yao Yizhong left without saying a word just now. Not only huyansheng didn't deal with it, but Yin Bi and Zhang raccoon didn't get any orders.

Because it was a sudden change in the war situation and the time was short, many war situations did not have time to inform each other. The senior leaders of the Qiang army knew that the war situation had become unfavorable to their own side, but they didn't have much concept of how unfavorable it was.

Most Qiang tribal leaders and other figures have no concept of strategy, that is, they lack cultural heritage. Only those who systematically study the war art of Chinese civilization know what strategy is.

Strategy can be called the view of the overall situation. Yin Bi constantly observed the battlefield. The view of the overall situation is that although the war situation is unfavorable to his own side, it is reflected in the hearts of the people. Some parts look rotten but can not be saved. It depends on whether his soldiers can obey the command and stick to it.

Yao Yizhong is constantly mobilizing troops. Those troops who can't afford the first World War don't pay attention. All the soldiers mobilized are Qiang soldiers.

It's not about the Qiang soldiers. They are all Qiang people. Even if they are flustered, they are much more reliable than zahu or Jin people. In addition, as long as Yao Yizhong doesn't fall, the Qiang soldiers will try their best to obey the orders and fight.

When Yao Yizhong tried his best to save the crisis, Yao Xiang, who should have retreated to the North Bank of the Yellow River with the old and weak women and children, came.

Yao Yizhong was angry when he saw Yao Xiang, but when he saw that Yao Xiang was full of firm eyes, he sighed and turned to relief.

It is often said that a tiger father has no dogs and children. As a father, seeing an excellent son is actually a pleasure that is difficult to describe. Even if sometimes the son disobeys, as long as he shows the excellent side, the father feels more joy, even if the son's choice is full of danger.

Yao Yizhong has many sons. Even if there are not as many as 24, they are close to 20. Yao Xiang is a relatively excellent one among his many sons. Now Yao Xiang's choice just shows the excellent side, that is, he dares to face up rather than retreat in the face of danger.

Soon, the tribal leaders and generals came to the big tent one after another. They all came to ask Yao Yizhong what decision he had.

"It is particularly unwise to retreat now." Yao Yizhong set a tone: "old and weak women and children can withdraw, and the combat troops must stay."

While they looked at each other, most of them agreed with Yao Yizhong's point of view. The army cannot retreat without order. It is not retreat but rout. They had to ask in more detail, such as whether there was a plan to retreat.

"The Han fleet has appeared on the river, and the scale is still extremely huge." Yao Yizhong didn't want to hide more, so that these generals or leaders could know the truth from other channels. It's better for him to take the initiative to inform them. After a brief introduction, he finally said, "our navy has engaged, and there is no report of the war for the time being."

No one can tell what the combat effectiveness of the water army of Shijie Zhao is. One thing is absolutely certain, that is, the water army of Shijie Zhao in Duma river has been trained for a long time, but the water army has no actual combat experience.

"Liu Yan paid attention to the Navy from the beginning. He first looked for maritime islands and sent troops to the (Korean) Peninsula." Yin Bi said gravely, "we have reason to believe that the Han Navy across the sea has enough combat experience, so... I'm afraid we can't have great hope for our own navy."

The sound of swallowing saliva sounded very frequently, and everyone's face was more ugly than before.

"Water warfare is more complex than land warfare. It can distinguish the victory and defeat in a short time, or it may be deadlocked for a year and a half." Yin Bi saluted Yao Yizhong, After receiving the signal, he continued: "Liu Yan set up this situation to... If you want to defeat us, the first goal of the Han Navy is to destroy our floating bridge. I'm afraid it won't get too entangled with our navy. Then let's assume that the Han Navy will destroy the floating bridge at any cost. At the marching speed of the waterway, the Han navy may arrive in the evening."

Yin Bi said that the people present were not only ugly, but also in an uproar.

That means that the time left for them to retreat is less than an afternoon. The four floating bridges are now retreated by old and weak women and children. Looking at the speed, the number of people who can withdraw in more than two hours will not exceed 60000, while the number of old and weak women and children is more than 100000, and the number of combat troops is more.

From the beginning, Yao Yizhong realized the seriousness of the problem, that is why he chose to stay.

If the troops led by Yao Yizhong were not inhabited by the Qiang people, he would leave the troops with some important people, but if he left the Qiang soldiers, I'm afraid it wouldn't be much better to escape. Being ridiculed is secondary. If he really dares to do that, the big leader of the Qiang people will not have to do it. At that time, not only Shi Hu will kill him, but also the Qiang tribes will not let him go.

"All right." Yao Yizhong motioned Yin Bi to step aside, stood up and said, "the bad situations are those, and we also have advantages."

If he is frightened again, it will backfire. Yao Yizhong wants to let everyone know the seriousness of the matter, not to hit everyone and dare not even resist.

"Our military strength is more than three times that of the Han Army, and the number of cavalry is more." Yao Yizhong ordered people to spread the map of mountains and rivers, Say in a very steady tone: "The terrain around the battlefield is narrow and long, and both sides are surrounded by waterways. Unless we leave our troops to escape, it is a delusion to withdraw to the North Bank of the river. Let's look at the direction of zhu'a county. The terrain from here to zhu'a county is flat, which is very suitable for riding troops to fight or go on the way, so our situation is not desperate because the river is broken."

Not everyone can understand the mountain map. Even if they read it, they don't understand what it means. Bursts of whispers will ring out. It was a misty man asking others. A smart man told him that the dignified atmosphere in the tent slowly dissipated.

"Yes, we still have nearly 80000 cavalry."

"Initially, the Han army is only fifty or sixty thousand, their cavalry is about thirty thousand, but our cavalry is eighty thousand!"

"Yes, the situation doesn't look so bad."

First, he whispered, then seemed to be emboldening each other. Yao Yizhong just listened quietly, and a smile slowly appeared on his face.

There is a way out but also a dead end. Two different situations determine the courage of the uniformer. The most important thing for the army is morale. When morale is low, even a large number of people will be slaughtered like a lamb. When morale is high, it can defeat the crowd fiercely.

Yao Yizhong first stabilized the high-level mood and gave students hope. Next, it's time to boost their morale.

"Liu Yan arranges the chessboard, and he is also on the chessboard." Yao Yizhong said in a very excited tone: "he didn't launch before, and the Han army is ready to launch. Now he has launched, and all the cards of the Han Army have been revealed. Since he dares to use himself as bait, I dare not use myself as bait!"

Although the degree of Qiang Nationality's Sinicization is very high and wide, it will take a long time to continue Sinicization before we can see more results. That Yao Yizhong said it very clearly, but the people who can understand it are limited.

Yao Yizhong doesn't expect all to understand. He's just showing his attitude and announcing that it's too early to talk about victory or defeat.

The meeting cannot last too long. After all, the outside world has been completely killed. Yao Yizhong needs to appear to stabilize the morale of the army, and the high-level leaders of all classes should also go down to stabilize the morale of the army.

On the whole, it is fortunate that the camp of the Qiang nationality is large enough. Many camps were broken by the Han cavalry, but the Han cavalry destroyed only the peripheral camps, far from the core camp.

In fact, the same is true. For a camp with a range of tens of miles, how big its core area should be and how many troops should be stationed on the periphery. It is impossible to rush in if it is rushed in.

The Han Army also failed to capture the camp connecting the floating bridge. After paying the deaths and injuries of nearly a thousand cavalry, Qian Jiantong, who commanded the troops, found that the enemy troops were not shaken. Observing the situation, he resolutely ordered to give up attacking there and go elsewhere. He will do this mainly because of the orders he gets. The orders are only for trying, not for seizing when he gives a dead order, because the fleet will come to accomplish its purpose.

In the afternoon of the war, the Han Army also defeated the blocked Qiang army all the way across Jishui from Licheng. When they arrived at the battlefield, the Huben army, which had been marching slowly behind, also arrived at the main battlefield of Luoyin.

When the two reinforcements arrived, Liu Yan's available troops finally seemed richer.

"The number of cavalry arriving all the way is 21000, and the number of infantry arriving all the way is 8000." Ji Chang looked down at the paper and added: "the casualty data have not been counted yet. Roughly speaking, there should be about 5000 dead and missing soldiers of the two reinforcements, and the rest are injured."

A total of more than 20000 soldiers on the two routes failed to arrive, which was the loss of the cavalry's attack on the Qiang camp.

There is also a patchwork of reinforcements on their way to Luoyin. They are auxiliary troops assembled from all over the country, with a total number of 30000. At present, they have marched to Licheng.

"Jun Shang?" Ji Chang swallowed his saliva and asked in a low voice, "how many troops do we have now?"

Liu Yan was stunned when asked. Ji Chang is the chief of the army. It should be long history that counts the army!

"This..." Ji Chang was tangled and embarrassed: "mainly... Mainly... The number of the forbidden guards has been increasing."

Liu Yan "ha?" He smiled and said that there were only more than 10000 guards at the beginning, but the number behind him increased again and again, so that he couldn't be sure how much it was.

"It should be..." Liu Yan thought seriously and said uncertain, "there should be nearly 25000 forbidden guards?"

... split... Cut... Line

That's all for today. In addition, I wish you a happy new year and all the best!
