Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 16: The Poor Bandits
This rift directly led to mutual distrust between the middle and high levels of the two sides. During the retreat process, the middle and high-level military officers of both sides fought on their own, retreating as quickly as possible, without any regard for the other side. This behavior triggered a disastrous situation. As a result, an army that was several times larger than the opponent's was driven away in a panic by an enemy army that was far less powerful than one's own. This cannot but be said to be a strange phenomenon in military history.
The coalition forces retreated to thirty miles away before they stabilized their position. At this moment, the two sides of the coalition forces, which seemed to be relatively harmonious, have also become very different in their positions at this moment, as evidenced by the distanced camps.
"Master Sun, this defeat was entirely caused by the incompetence of your subordinates, and you are fully responsible for the consequences of this battle!" In the coach's tent, Kidman, who had always been calm, could no longer hold his own Yes, tore off the veil of tenderness on the surface and roared like thunder.
Originally wanted to fight a big victory in order to stabilize his position as the commander of the Nuremberg Front, and even hoped to use a victory to prove to Prince Mercado, the commander-in-chief of the southern part of the empire, that he was fully qualified for a more important position. Unexpectedly, such a scene would appear. Thinking of this, Kidman couldn't help being furious.
"Hmph! General Kidman, I'm afraid you can't justify your words! When the enemy suddenly attacked, who was the first to withstand the enemy's impact?! It was us! Your Excellency, it was my subordinates who used blood and The physical body blocks the enemy's charge, so that you have enough time to respond! But look at your people, what are you doing when we can't hold on?! Blindly defend yourself and form an array, without any consideration of where the friendly troops are Difficulty, I blush for everything your subordinates have done! You actually have the nerve to question me, this is exactly what I want to ask you!"
Seeing that his army had lost a lot, Sun Yuanhui was already heartbroken and angry. This was the foundation of his foothold! At this time, seeing that Kidman actually put all the responsibility on his own head, Sun Yuanhui became even more furious, and retorted unceremoniously.
"You!" Seeing Sun Yuanhui slapping him backwards, Kidman was furious, "Well, you Sun Yuanhui! You turned black and white, hmph! Let me tell you, the facts are there under the eyes of everyone, and I'm not afraid of you denying it. Prince Mercador reports, it will be time to see who is to blame!"
"Huh!" Sun Yuanhui sneered contemptuously, looked at the top of the big tent, and said a few words from between his teeth without showing any weakness: "Kidman, I will accompany you to the end! The two of us fell in front of Prince Mercado. To argue the right and the wrong, I think His Royal Highness, the wise and wise Prince, may not be something you can deceive, if necessary, we can discuss right and wrong in front of His Majesty Philip and Prime Minister Perlman!"
Sun Yuanhui's tough attitude surprised Kidman. In his opinion, Sun Yuanhui wanted something from him, which should be explained in soft words, but he did not expect the other party's attitude to be so. For a moment, Kidman was speechless, and only the heavy panting of the two could be heard in the big tent.
After all, Kidman is a general who has been in power for many years in the Sithrow Empire. After weighing the pros and cons, he gradually calmed down and began to think about countermeasures. The chess piece has a great effect on the empire. If this matter is brought up in front of Prince Mecador at this moment, I am afraid that I will be the one who suffers. The situation is already like this. If you want to pass the test, you must find a suitable reason to explain the past , and this is inseparable from the cooperation of this annoying guy in front of him.
Thinking of this, Kidman took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and tried to relax his tone: "Master Sun, I don't think this is the best time for us to pursue who is responsible. In this way, you and I are both grasshoppers on the same rope, neither you nor me can escape, I think we should find a way to deal with the current situation."
Sun Yuanhui also sat back on the chair weakly. Kidman was right. Now is not the time to distinguish who is right and who is wrong. It is not a pleasant thing to speak in front of Prince Mercado or in front of Philip V and Prime Minister Perlman. Although I have good personal relations with them, this is a major matter involving a country's strategy after all. Having fought such a big defeat, no matter who is more responsible, as the secondary responsible person, he still cannot escape the punishment, not to mention that he is now a rootless duckweed, and needs the support of the Sithrow people even more. The base fantasizes that it can stand on its own, and Sun Yuanhui is not that naive yet.
Thinking of this, a wry smile appeared on a somewhat tired face, and Sun Yuanhui's voice sank: "Yes, General Kidman, right now we have to think of a perfect plan to get through this difficulty, otherwise your country's military will hold you accountable." When it comes to responsibility, you and I are not easy to explain."
"Well," Kidman has completely calmed down, and turned his face to the outside of the tent, showing a thoughtful expression, "This time we suffered such a big loss, although we underestimated the enemy, but I think there are some Some other reason."
Nodding his head, Sun Yuanhui also showed a look of reminiscence, "The general is right, although it was the **** from the 3rd Security Division who attacked us from the side, but the one who rushed out of the city and disrupted our deployment was definitely It's not the army of the Yinchuan Mansion, but I think it's the troops of that guy Li Wufeng in the south, and these guys came really fast!" Sun Yuanhui's tone was filled with hatred and envy.
"Well, it should be like this, but their strength is not strong enough. The cavalry who attacked from the city were obviously lacking in physical strength. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are at the end of their crossbows, but we were `````` at that time, alas! Otherwise, It is impossible for us to stand on our feet so easily now." Although he suffered a defeat, Kidman's vision was still very sharp, and he could see the weakness of the cavalry led by Long himself at a glance, "Also, their strength is not Not strong, I think it will not exceed the strength of two regiments at most!"
"It's probably not wrong. Apart from the cavalry divisions, Li Wufeng's main divisions generally only have two cavalry regiments. It seems that they have exhausted all their strength to arrive. Maybe they are only faster than us. It might be a step away." Sun Yuanhui looked resigned, he had always paid great attention to the composition of Wufeng's main force, and he was very familiar with the situation.
"Hey, if you make a wrong move, you will lose everything. Maybe we are just one step away! Maybe Jin Zecheng turned against Li Wufeng's army when he saw Li Wufeng's army arrive first. I judge that their reinforcements are not enough. Strong." Kidman said helplessly, looking into the distance outside the tent.
"Then according to the general's opinion, can we still `````` now?" Sun Yuanhui looked at Kidman with a complicated expression inquiringly.
Shaking his head slowly, Kidman thought for a long time before saying: "I'm afraid it's too late, let's not talk about whether the enemy has any reinforcements during this period of time, and they can also take advantage of this period of time to rest quickly. The blow is too great, and after the team is reorganized, the enemy may have enough rest to wait for work, not to mention the fact that the troops of both you and me are not at the same level, if you want to attack forcefully, I'm afraid it will be self-defeating." Kidman's words are also true. In fact, right now the two armies have a rift in their hearts, and they can't be united for a while. This battle can't be fought anymore. If they attack rashly, they will only lose troops and lose generals.
Sun Yuanhui was also speechless for a while. He lowered his head and thought for a while before he opened his mouth and said, "Then we have to go back to the Ganlan Fortress first and reorganize the army. In addition, you and I have to report the matter to His Royal Highness Prince Mercado. Regarding the situation of this battle, in terms of speaking, the two of us have to make a good accounting and accounting, so don't miss your own feet."
"That's all. As for the battle report, you have to include the fact that Li Wufeng's army suddenly joined, otherwise you and I will both be to blame." Kidman's face was gloomy, and his voice dropped eight Overcoming the current difficulty is the most important issue for him to consider.
Kidman's judgment was correct. The two cavalry regiments of the Dragon Self-propelled Fifth Division went into battle after a short rest of less than an hour. However, the coalition forces that were suddenly attacked from the flanks were panicked and completely ignored the impact from the front. If they could have noticed this at the time and took correct countermeasures, as long as they withstood the initial wave of attacks, the situation might be better. It changed suddenly, but there is no assumption in history. The former army of the coalition army who was stunned by the sudden attack did not have the mind to pay attention to this point~IndoMTL.com~ and the two coaches are still discussing in the big tent of the Chinese army. All this Everything changed like this.
After the battle, the dragon quickly gathered his troops and returned to Yinchuan Fucheng. It was a huge loss, and my own side had already done their best, not to mention that there were still many remaining enemy forces lurking in Yinchuan City. Stabilizing the defense of Yinchuan Prefecture is the best strategy at present. power.
The four gates of the city were tightly blocked, and they could only enter but not exit. With the full cooperation of Jin Zecheng, the soldiers of the third security division climbed onto the city wall to closely watch the situation outside the city. It is also three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry. Ordinary residents are strictly prohibited from going out. The patrol team began to enforce martial law on the streets, strictly preventing news from inside the city from being spread outside the city. opportunity. And the ensuing search and arrest operation also caused those rebel forces who tried to counterattack and count against each other to be uprooted one after another and thrown into prison, all of which were carried out in a combination of open and secret ways.
While actively cooperating with Long to arrange all these things on his own, while secretly admiring the other party's calm and sophistication, Jin Zecheng couldn't help but look forward to the upcoming new ruler--Li Wufeng, and Su Qin's shrewdness has also been seen. With so many capable people, how can the superior be the weak? The news of the city guard's death has already spread in the city, causing a commotion and instability, but under the strong pressure of the military, everything quickly returned to calm, especially the continuous influx of troops. For those unstable elements, Jin Zecheng already secretly rejoiced that his difficult choice at the beginning might be the wisest decision in his life.
