Chapter 924: Roar Of Despair
Chapter 924: Roar Of Despair
Xu Qing waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I know my body, it's only been a night, it's nothing..."
Listen, it's only one night, it's nothing!
Wei Xiong is now so impressed by Xu Qing that he doesn't sleep all night, only doing good deeds to satisfy others, this is not a good person, what is this?
But now is not the time to advise the commander whether he should be restrained, the Shezhao people's army is about to retreat.
After Wei Xiong had arranged everything properly, Xu Qing called him over and asked, "Wei Xiong, what's the situation ahead? What did the spies who came back in the morning say?"
Wei Xiong cupped fist said: "Commander Qi, General Long led the army to fight hard day and night. The whole journey was overwhelming. The enemy army was defeated and retreated this morning."
When Xu Qing heard this, she suddenly felt like crying...
Why does the future father-in-law have to be so impatient...
Can't you play slower?
Is there anyone who deceives his future son-in-law so much?
Fortunately, General Long didn't know what Xu Qing was thinking, if he knew, he would probably be able to fight faster.
Of course, there was a reason for being so powerful along the way, that is, the combat effectiveness of the Chu army commanded by General Long this time was really too strong.
It was so strong that General Long himself was startled.
No wonder Chu State has been able to shock the world even without firearms in the past 60 years. Chu State has such a powerful army!
General Long had only one thought at this time, to be able to command such a powerful army to fight once, even if he died, he would have no regrets, right?
General Long's side is happy, but Pi Luosheng's side is miserable.
He had long expected that Chu's army would be able to fight, but he did not expect to be able to fight like this.
Originally, in his prediction, even if Shezhao lost to Chu's army, they would at least persist for three days before leaving in the dark.
As the commander-in-chief of the first army, he certainly knew why the Chu army surrounded three city gates but left one behind.
He understands better that the enemy army will definitely leave a large number of crossbowmen and traps on their only way, just waiting for them to get into the trap.
Such tactics have been common as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and such cases abound in thousands of years of history.
It seems that there is a glimmer of life left, but it is still a dead end.
But it works every time.
This is the tactic of attacking the heart.
Bingjia may not understand what the commander can understand, but even if everyone understands, so what?
Staying in the city is a dead end, running out from this city gate might give you a chance.
At this time, do you choose 10% of death or 10% of life?
Even the smallest hope has infinite possibilities in the face of despair, isn't it?
So Pi Luosheng retreated with tens of thousands of remnants.
If they don't withdraw, I'm afraid there won't even be these remnants left.
In fact, the situation has reached such a level that Pi Luosheng, the head coach of the first army, can no longer control it.
If he doesn't withdraw, the army will mutiny because of the desire to survive, and the price will be even more unbearable for him.
Sometimes the general has to go with what the majority of soldiers think.
At this moment, Pi Luosheng didn't know how many ambush soldiers were on the official road ahead, but there were definitely some. They would either rush out of the ambush range in one go, or they would die without a place to bury them.
At this moment, a literati dressed as a scholar rode on his horse and said, "Commander."
Pi Luosheng asked, "Have you calculated how many ambushes there will be ahead?"
The military division opened his mouth and said, "Based on my calculations, even if the opponent has ambushes, there will not be many. We have been estimating the strength of the Zhenxi Army, and Qin Xiang has shown us the bottom line. This is already the limit, and this error will never exceed one thousand, and the ambush of thousands of people is not much different to our army that still has tens of thousands of people."
Pi Luosheng, who was riding on the horse, asked doubtfully, "Could it be that the Chu army is aiming to help Zhao take back the city, and they didn't intend to tear up their face with my Shezhao? After all, if we leave a way out, we will indeed have to retreat from now on." .”
The military adviser said, "It's not impossible. We have had a long-standing grievance with Zhao, but we have no enmity with Chu. They don't need to treat us as mortal enemies like Long Wu did."
Pi Luosheng nodded and said: "Well, the military adviser's analysis makes sense. If that's the case, let's speed up the pace of marching. This time we brought out all the treasures we obtained from searching the two states. It's not a waste of money. Hey military commander, look what are these things on the ground."
When the military division looked up, he found that thousands of fire snakes appeared around the army, fleeing wantonly on the ground, and he was suspicious. He had never seen this scene before.
At this moment, the commander-in-chief of the society seemed to be the first to react; "No! It's a firearm!"
As soon as Pi Luosheng finished speaking, there were pieces of roaring sounds from around the army.
All the horses under everyone's crotches were frightened, even the one under Pi Luosheng's crotch threw him off his horse, screaming and trying to run out of the Underworld, but before taking two steps, he fell in a pool of blood middle.
The Shezhao people had never seen this kind of firearm emerging from the ground, so they didn't know how to defend against it.
Pi Luosheng also didn't expect that there was no stumbling block on their way of retreat, let alone any agency news, and there were only a huge number of thunderbolts buried in the ground.
What made him even more desperate was that they hadn't seen the enemy's position until now.
But soon they didn't have to worry about this problem anymore. When the number of thunderstorms exploded and the smoke and dust raised reached a certain level, it was difficult for him to see anyone else in his army breathing.
Shezhao's army was also in chaos, and the strong explosion even brought out some people's internal organs.
Many people suddenly had a little heart in their arms as they ran...
Long Binger hid in the dense forest next to the official road and looked at this scene with Xu Qing's binoculars with a look of surprise; "Can firearms still be used like this?"
Xu Qing said, "You don't know much about this, we in the state of Chu call this a landmine."
Long Bing'er said: "You tell me this, don't be afraid that I will leak the secret, this is a firearms tactic, it is much ahead of the Central Plains."
Xu Qing said, "When your Zhao State has firearms, our Chu State's tactics will have changed for many generations."
When Long Binger heard Xu Qing's words, she felt an arrow in her chest.
Why does this person keep telling nasty truths?
