Although he was ready to retreat to Erdao City, he did not retreat without thinking. Qi Guanrang knew the reason.
Figure it out slowly, do it slowly.
It is necessary to make it invisible to the enemy, and to let our soldiers know that the retreat is not a defeat but a strategic arrangement.
Because he was cautious enough, Nie Jun didn't doubt it.
"How's the situation ahead?"
Wei Xian kept an eye on the situation of the battle, looking at the tragic situation, Rao Shi couldn't help but frown, leaving traces between his brows.
I thought that raiding Zhanjiang Pass tonight would have a certain advantage and convenience, but I didn't expect the enemy to be so tenacious and stubborn.
The two armies continue to stand still, and the losses on both sides will increase exponentially.
"The enemy has already shown decadence, and most of them will be unable to hold back." The general's serious face finally showed a bit of joy, and his tone was also light, "The resistance they encounter now is far less intense than at the beginning, and their morale has also increased. A downturn will sooner or later collapse.”
Wei Xian pinched the center of his eyebrows, and his tightly pursed lips almost became a straight line. Those who were not familiar with him knew that he was in a bad mood at this time.
The general asked him tremblingly, "The counselor... is there something wrong?"
Wei Wei said indifferently, "Our army takes advantage of the sneak attack, and the stalemate for a long time makes the enemy show decadence, what is there to be happy about?"
After the general heard this, his face was ashamed, but he was dark, and the night was so dark that outsiders couldn't see it.
"You will know your mistake at the end."
Wei Xian changed his words, "Liu Xi is our rival, and it is to be expected that he has such strength."
How to show your strength
Naturally, it is stronger than a powerful enemy.
If Zhanjiang Pass was as fragile as paper, the First Lord Nie Liang would die.
Nie Jun at the bottom of the city persevered and set the ladder on the city wall. The rock-throwing truck kept using burning fireballs to attack the enemy behind the wall, and at the same time, it also provided cover for the soldiers who climbed the ladder. At the same time, the soldiers at the city gate also slammed into the city gate with heavy siege logs.
I saw their cheeks flushed, their teeth clenched, blue veins burst out on their foreheads, and their clothes were wet with sweat.
Shouting the chant in his mouth, he applied force to the same place at the same time. Rao is the strong gate of Zhanjiang Guancheng, but at this time he was also knocked out of the crack.
Seeing the crack, everyone was greatly encouraged, as if victory was imminent, and they were more and more eager.
When the sound of the cracks in the city gate expanding into the ear, it is no different from the sound of heaven.
With a loud bang, the city gate was completely blasted open, and everyone saw the stones blocking the city hole through the cracks, almost dumbfounded.
It also took time to clear the stones, and the number of soldiers who climbed the ladder to the city wall was also limited, so they could not pose much threat.
Qi Guanrang ordered the retreat of Erdao City. With the obstruction of the city wall and the city cave, the number of pursuers was not large, and the casualties were naturally not large.
General Nie Jun passed the news to Wei Xian, and Wei Xing's expression remained unchanged, as if he had expected this for a long time.
"It's okay, clear the stones, rest for a while and then chase after them."
The general who commanded the army was dissatisfied, "Our army is in full swing. At this time, we should do our best to completely defeat the enemy."
Wei Xin said in a cold voice, "The city was completely sealed off by the enemy, how dare the general send a large number of elites and baggage to chase and kill the enemy in a short period of time? I am afraid that the enemy will kill him just after he catches up. Woodcutter, doesn't the general even understand this common truth?"
They can pry open the gate of Zhanjiang Pass, don't they rely on the support of the baggage and the number of people like throwing money
In terms of the quality of soldiers, they are not dominant.
Using one's own weakness to attack the enemy's strength, I am afraid that it is not the brain that is flooded.
The general did not agree with Wei Wei's opinion.
When Nie Liang was still alive, he didn't like Wei Xin very much.
He admitted that Wei Xian had something special, and if he didn't have any ability, he wouldn't let Nie Liang take it so seriously.
However, there is a saying that a good man is not as good as God.
This group of advisors has the ability to do all the calculations. There is a huge deviation between the actual operation and the theoretical assumption.
Marching and fighting is not just about talking about soldiers on paper, but also taking into account the changes on the battlefield and making targeted adjustments in a timely manner.
Wei Xian is timid in battle, he feels embarrassed when he sees it, and now he has handed over a great opportunity, what does he want to do! Thinking of this, the general was even more depressed. Wei Xin was a military advisor, so he was only in charge of making plans. He also intervened in the work of taking over the generals. With such an arbitrary and domineering behavior, many old Nie Liang ministers felt that Wei Xin wanted to take over the power and take over the new master Nie Qing.
The general didn't think so at first, but seeing Wei Xian's actions at this time, he couldn't help but feel shaken.
He said, "The enemy was defeated and the army was in chaos. The general thought that he should pursue the victory and not give them any chance to breathe. The strategist thinks too much, but instead pays attention to one thing and loses the other, delaying the fighter. In the matter of marching and fighting, this general prides himself on being no worse than the strategist. Where to go."
Wei Xun couldn't help sneering, he said, "The general thinks that the elites under Liu Xi's tent will be defeated so easily?"
Nie Liang led his troops to feign Zhanjiang Pass, although not all the best, but they fought hard.
The First Sovereign valued the enemy in the first place, and after this battle, he became even more energetic.
That is a real elite hero, not a grass-roots team, and it will not collapse across the board after a single defeat.
The person in front of him has too little knowledge, right? He really regards Jiang Pengji as an enemy he has beaten before
The general said angrily, "The strategist should not destroy his own prestige, and increase the ambition of others, which will affect the morale of our army."
Wei Xun's eyes turned cold, and he said coldly, "Does the general have to disobey the military order?"
The general is also loyal to the Nie Clan, but he has his own ideas. He doesn't like Wei Xin's approach. He said, "Don't forget the military commander. In terms of responsibilities, you write the text, and I dominate the military. The matter of dispatching troops before the battle. , although the strategist can intervene, it is not that you can be arbitrary."
As a military division, Wei Xian has a certain military power, but when it comes to really caring, he is still a civilian and can't overwhelm the opponent.
If Fan Chen or Young Master Nie Qing were here at this time, he would naturally not be afraid. It would be a little troublesome for him alone.
"The general insists on doing this, and I have nothing to say. Just one sentence, if the battle is lost due to the pursuit of troops at this time, will the general be willing to take responsibility?"
The general snorted and said proudly, "There is absolutely no resentment in dealing with military law."
After all, he turned on his horse and saw that Wei Xin was a pain in the ass.
He couldn't deny the military commander's loyalty to the Nie Clan, but the two had different opinions, which inevitably led to a surge of conflicts.
When the generals of Wei Wei's faction saw this, they were very worried.
"Master, what should we do now? We can't really ask the general to run into the enemy's trap, right?"
The ability of the military advisor was repeatedly affirmed by the First Lord Nie Liang, and the enemy was so cunning, it was definitely right to be cautious.
Wei Wei said indifferently, "It's okay, anyway, it won't hurt many people, let him suffer."
Facts have proved that Wei Xin's judgment is correct.
