"These bodies must be disposed of immediately."
Standing on the gate tower of this border city, looking at the circle of black and red walls, Ding Ning said slowly.
"How to deal with it!"
Nangong Caishu couldn't help but screamed angrily.
Her body trembled violently.
She didn't want to vent her emotions like Ding Ning, but she couldn't imagine why Ding Ning could maintain such calm when seeing such a picture.
"You have more anger and hatred than sadness right now."
Ding Ning turned his head to look at Nangong Caishu, his face gradually turned cold, "Now someone else slaughtered a city of our Great Qin Dynasty, at least women and children were left behind, but our army of the Great Qin Dynasty did not only slaughter a city of other people's. This is war, and anger and hatred directed at an enemy that has been missed can only make you act impulsively, leading to greater mistakes, which is meaningless."
"It doesn't make sense?"
Nangong Caishu's face turned extremely white, she bit her lips tightly, and squeezed out a voice through her teeth, "You make me not hate the enemies who slaughtered this city?"
Ding Ning was silent for a moment, and said: "You have to understand that it is not the generals who lead the army to fight that can cause the war, but the people with the highest positions in the world. If you want to get to the bottom of it, who caused such a thing ?”
Nangong Caishu's breathing gradually stopped, she just felt that she couldn't fully agree with Ding Ning's words, but she didn't know how to refute.
"Hatred can't solve the problem. You just heard the dictation of some women here. The other party used such a method to force the Minshan Sword Sect not to intervene in the war of Wuzhi Kingdom. It is understandable. The army of our Great Qin Dynasty entered other people's Land, what is this in itself?"
A hint of bitterness emerged from the corner of Ding Ning's mouth, "I only know that if these corpses are not disposed of now, many serious diseases may be caused, and many of these women and children will also die."
"Facing it coldly, is this what a successful general needs to consider?" Nangong Caishu laughed miserably.
"That's not the case." Ding Ning shook his head, "Always consider the people who are still alive. This is what a general needs to consider."
Black smoke ignited.
The Suwei army started to ignite a raging fire, burning all the corpses in the border town.
"It's not a good fight."
Ding Ning didn't look at the raging fire and the ashes. He looked up at Yinshan Mountain which was not far away, and said slowly, "It doesn't mean us."
Nangong Caishu turned to look at him even more shocked.
Ding Ning said slowly: "Whether it is the defenders in the city or the troops who came to support from outside the city, they all died near the city wall. There are not many practitioners who can slaughter the city by themselves. The only one who can rush all the way to kill all the defenders along the way so quickly should be the Yelu Canglang who has the nickname of the Prairie Wolf."
"He is the Grand Marshal of Wuzhi Kingdom."
After Ding Ning paused, he clenched his fists unconsciously, and continued, "The Grand Marshals have put themselves at risk. Being here only shows that they won't fight as we all expected. So maybe they won't fight either." It's going to be the same as I imagined, just delaying until after the snow falls."
Nangong Caishu began to understand what he wanted to express, and his face that had just recovered some blood color slowly turned white again, "You mean that they may instead resort to a surprise attack or a head-on attack?"
Ding Ning nodded.
Nangong Caishu felt a chill all over her body, and she said with some difficulty, "Then how can we spread the news across Yinshan Mountain as soon as possible?"
"Useless."
Ding Ning shook his head, "Even Yelu Canglang has already arrived here. Even if we send the news that we can reach the frontline army immediately, it is too late. What's more, what are the identities of those frontline generals who will easily follow our advice? "
"Yelu Canglang and the others' thinking... Maybe they want to use a big victory to give Donghu and the Great Chu Dynasty confidence, no matter how heavy the price will be. As long as this price can allow them to finally block the Great Qin Dynasty in Yinshan, Instead of letting them become the same existence as Yuezhi."
No one is a god, and it is impossible to truly predict everything.
Ding Ning had already made a mistake in his judgment of Wuzhi Kingdom before departure, but at least his judgment at this time was very accurate.
The autumn of the twelfth year of Yuanwu in the Great Qin Dynasty.
Not long after the old guard army that Ding Ning was in arrived, the Wuzhi Kingdom gathered more than 300,000 people at a frightening speed, divided into three groups and launched a fierce attack on the Daqin army that crossed the border.
The Wuzhi Kingdom has been a nomad since ancient times, and to the Qin people in Guanzhong, the people of the Wuzhi Kingdom are all prairie barbarians.
These prairie barbarians are good at catching wild horses and taming horses. They have superb riding skills, come and go like the wind, and their speed and shooting skills are their greatest advantages. However, the most troublesome thing for the Qin army is that there is a large expanse of grassland behind them.
These grasslands are wilderness for Daqin's army, but they are cities for them.
The advantage of the Daqin army lies in the technique of talisman chariots and battle formations. There are many practitioners, and the ability to advance the position and fight with the army is unparalleled in the world. It was directly forming the army, and directly launched a head-on confrontation with the frontier army of the Great Qin Dynasty!
The Wuzhi army, which is mainly composed of cavalry, is basically unable to fight against Daqin's army positions. However, it is precisely because they never thought that Daqin's army would encounter such a battle when the number of Daqin's troops assembled at the border was not enough.
Under the strong attack of the Wuzhi army, which was several times larger than itself, the army of the Great Qin Dynasty was defeated and suffered heavy losses.
After paying the lives of more than 70,000 soldiers, the Wuzhi Kingdom killed the 60,000 frontier army of the Great Qin Dynasty, seized almost all the food, grass and supplies of the frontier troops of the Great Qin Dynasty, and continued to pursue the remnants of the frontier army of the Great Qin Dynasty !
Such a victory is astonishing.
Even when the Great Qin Dynasty was at war with the Han, Zhao, and Wei dynasties, it never paid such a heavy price.
At that time, the ratio of casualties between the Qin army and the other three dynasties had always been maintained at more than one to three. That is to say, to kill a Qin army, at least three soldiers from other dynasties had to be paid.
The advantage of the Wuzhi army lies in its speed. When the pursuit begins, it means that the Qin army will suffer greater casualties.
This is likely to be the biggest defeat in the history of the Qin army.
What slightly changed the fate of this battle was the first batch of reinforcements, especially the first large number of practitioners who rushed from Changling to outside Yinshan Mountain.
Faster than a horseshoe is a practitioner's sword.
With the joining of a large number of practitioners, the loss of the cavalry that Wuzhi Kingdom pursued and killed was once very staggering.
However, as many practitioners were killed by crowd tactics or practitioners from Wuzhi Kingdom, the situation of the entire war was extremely unfavorable for the Great Qin Dynasty.
Although it is only officially autumn, the temperature in the north outside the customs is already extremely cold, and the air is frosty.
When food and grass are in short supply, the situation is even more severe for some armies, especially those that have been dispersed.
In a low-lying part of the meadow, some miscellaneous trees had already lost their yellow leaves, and many wounded soldiers of the Qin Army lay on some long grass that had been cut off and made into a blanket.
A round-faced girl with a sword was discussing the military situation with several generals with an extremely serious expression.
War is the easiest.
At this moment, a shrill warning whistle suddenly sounded from the meadow, but only after a breath, the whistle turned into a whining ocarina.
This means that what comes is not the enemy, but one of our own.
A boy appeared in the sight of this round-faced girl.
His attire is similar to that of ordinary Wuzhi warriors, he seems to be extremely afraid of the cold, and he wears an unusually thick and rough fur robe, but his face is not typical of Wuzhi warriors, the most important thing is that his left hand is always forward Stretching slightly, a pale jade tablet hangs down from his fingertips, on which is simply engraved with the word "Li".
The word "Li" was enough to make the round-faced girl and several generals instantly think that he could only be the exile of Lihou's Mansion, Li Xixing who had just returned not far from the pass.
"Don't think about trying to attack that small urn city ten miles away."
After taking a long look at the round-faced girl and the several generals around her from a distance, Li Xixing said directly: "There is a trap, at least two Qin armies like yours have been wiped out there."
Several Qin army generals looked at each other, their eyes were full of shock and anger.
Remnants like them, in the pursuit of the Wu clan army, can only hide or even take a detour. It will take a long time to retreat to the border town of Yinshan.
However, the food and grass they brought can only last for a few days at most. In their view, the food in the small urn city of the Wuzhi people is the key to whether they can leave here alive in the end.
"How many of you are there?"
Li Xixing didn't care about the expressions on the faces of these generals, and he rarely cared about the expressions on other people's faces in Changling, he just asked indifferently.
"There are 357 wounded in total, and 321 who are able to fight." The round-faced girl was the calmest at this moment, and after Li Xixing asked, she answered without any hesitation.
"Too little."
Li Xixing was silent for a few breaths, and said: "A cavalry army of about 3,000 people from Wuzhi Kingdom will outflank this place when it gets dark."
Unless it is an army composed entirely of practitioners, it is absolutely impossible for the Qin army to defeat the cavalry army of the Wuzhi Kingdom when the ratio of the two sides exceeds one to four, let alone the remnants of the Qin army here.
Without some powerful weapons, ordinary sword masters might be shot to death by those horse archers if they couldn't get close.
"There is only one choice now."
Li Xixing still didn't care about the expressions on the faces of these generals, and continued: "Let all the wounded stay here, and the rest leave as soon as possible."
Among the several generals, a general in his forties turned cold. He looked at Li Xixing and said slowly, "This may be the best choice and the most sensible choice, but it is not our best choice." choose."
Li Xixing didn't make any strong arguments.
He just bowed deeply to the general and saluted.
Because the choice made by this general deserves his respect.
After saluting, he turned around.
Since this general chooses to die here, then for him, it is not worth staying here to accompany these people to die here.
"etc."
However, the moment he turned around, the round-faced girl's voice sounded, "There must be other options and methods."
Li Xixing didn't look back, but just looked indifferently at the wild grass in the distance that was taller than a person, thinking that after dark, there would be cavalry troops from the opponent rushing out there at any time.
"What options and methods?" he asked.
"Since you know that cavalry army will come, maybe we can lure that cavalry army away?" the round-faced girl said after listening to his indifferent voice.
"us?"
Li Xixing sneered mercilessly, "Only by us?"
"I am a practitioner of Baoguang Temple."
The round-faced girl was not angry because of this, but she just stated the facts seriously, "I am the only disciple of Baoguang Temple who has obtained all the true teachings."
