Chapter 1550: Skeleton of doubt (Part 2)
Chapter 1548: Scheming of Soldiers (Part 2)
Seeing that the Qin army withdrew, Han Xin breathed a sigh of relief, and then recruited Zhang He and other generals, and ordered: "Junyi, lead the cavalry to pursue you. Remember not to chase you too close. You can retreat after thirty miles."
Zhang He was stunned and asked in confusion: "Lord, the withdrawal of the Qin army is the perfect time to follow and pursue the Qin army in one fell swoop. Why do you only chase thirty miles?"
Zhang He''s words also expressed the doubts of other generals. After all, how could the Qin army, which had been desperate to repel, not pursued by victory?
Han Xin sighed and explained, "If we can really defeat the Qin army, how could this marquis not pursue it? But although the Qin army retreated now, and the army is so tired, there are not many casualties after all.
Infantry can''t catch up with the cavalry at all, and our cavalry is less than 10,000. How can we defeat the Qin army? ”
Hearing Han Xin say this, Zhang He immediately said, "Didn''t Lian Po send 20,000 cavalry to support our army? Our army''s 10,000 cavalry, plus the Zhao cavalry in its prime, it is enough to defeat the exhausted Qin cavalry."
"Haha, do you really think Lian Po will let Yuan Shao''s treasured cavalry take risks for our life or death?" Han Xin asked back with a sneer.
All the generals were stunned when they heard this. Nangong Changwanze asked, "Lord, do you mean to support me, not the Zhao army''s cavalry?"
"Of course, although we are allied with Yuan Shao, we should help each other with offense and defense, but this battle is too risky after all. If you are not careful, the Zhao army may face the attack of the Qin army. Lian Po cannot take risks for us." Han Xin said in a cold voice.
"So, there are no reinforcements coming?" Zhang He asked with wide eyes.
“That’s right, that’s just a suspicious plan that this marquis has laid out in advance, only three thousand cavalry are pretending to be in power.
If even 80,000 infantry and cavalry could not defeat 40,000 Qin army cavalry, this suspicious soldier would be our army''s last trump card, but it finally scared Zhang Liao. ”
Han Xin said with lingering fear that this battle was really the most thrilling battle he had experienced since he joined the army. He hated this feeling of being out of control.
Ten miles away from the battlefield, Gao Lan was commanding three thousand cavalry to make more noises as possible, and at the same time, he was also wary and shot the Qin army''s spies.
"Military advisor, can this move really deceive the Qin army?" Gao Lan asked Ju Su worriedly.
Ju Su frowned, but said firmly: "Yes, you will definitely do it. Maybe you can''t deceive Guo Jia, but you can definitely deceive Zhang Liao. He dare not gamble."
Under the leadership of Gao Lan and Ju Su, the three thousand Korean light cavalry pretended to be 20,000 cavalry and rushed towards Han Xin.
The eyes returned to Han Xin''s side. After listening to Han Xin''s answer, the generals looked at each other. Obviously, they didn''t expect that the lord, who had never fought unprepared wars, would one day rely on gambling.
"Lord, if the Qin army does not retreat voluntarily, will our army be wiped out?"
After hearing Zhang He''s question, a trace of thought flashed in Han Xin''s eyes, and then he also said something similar to Ju Su.
"No, no, Guo Jia may have the courage, but Zhang Liao definitely does not. He dare not use the 40,000 Qin cavalry to bet on me." Han Xin said with great firmness.
Zhang He led less than 10,000 cavalry to chase him, but he didn''t dare to chase him too close. If the Qin army killed him and returned, it would be difficult to leave, and he did not dare to get too far away. After all, this would easily lead to the Qin army''s reality.
As soon as Zhang He left, Han Xin couldn''t wait to lead the entire army to evacuate the nearest city without even ordering the battlefield.
Before leaving, when Han Xin looked at the **** battlefield, where broken limbs and broken arms were everywhere, and most of them were dressed by the Han army, this made Han Xin deeply hate Guo Jia who was plotting against him. After all, if it weren''t for Guo Jia, the Han army would never have suffered such great casualties.
"Guo Jia, I was careless this time. If you still want to plot against me next time, it will not be so easy."
Han Xin snorted coldly and ordered: "The entire army retreated."
"No."
At the same time, Zhang Liao, who also withdrew his troops, roughly estimated the casualties and found that the Qin army had not suffered much loss, and less than one-tenth of the casualties, he also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but what he didn''t know was that he missed the only chance to defeat Han Xin. "General Zhang Liao, the cavalry of the Korean army are chasing us, and the cavalry of the Zhao army are also chasing us."
After hearing the report, Zhang Liao said decisively: "No need to pay attention. If the Korean army cannot catch up, they will retreat when they are exhausted. Our army only needs to guard against the Zhao army."
"No."
As he retreated, Guo Jia first realized something was wrong.
If the Korean army has already gone through a big battle, the war horses are exhausted very much, so it would be fine if they can''t catch up.
But the Zhao army''s cavalry had never participated in the war, and they were in full swing while waiting for their hard work. How could they not catch up?
At this moment, a carrier pigeon landed on Guo Jia''s shoulder. Guo Jia took it out and found that it was Long Qi''s military newspaper, but the content on it made Guo Jia''s pupils shrink suddenly.
"Not good, it''s a trick."
Guo Jia screamed in shock, and then hurriedly said to Zhang Liao: "General Zhang Liao, news from Long Qi has been coming. Lian Po has been holding his troops and has not sent cavalry to support Han Xin. It was just now that Han Xin''s suspicious plan was issued, so we were deceived."
After Zhang Liao took the letter and looked at it, his face suddenly became extremely ugly. He shouted: "Change the direction quickly and let''s fight back."
"No."
The Qin army enforced the orders. After the military orders were conveyed, tens of thousands of cavalry immediately changed directions.
Zhang He and Gao Lan in the distance couldn''t help but smile after seeing each other. Zhang He said, "Zhang Liao was still alert and discovered so quickly."
"But it''s still too late, the lord should have entered the city."
"Let''s retreat quickly, don''t be entangled by the Qin army."
"Um."
Under the leadership of Zhang He Gao Lan, more than 10,000 Korean cavalry retreated in two directions.
Seeing this, Zhang Liao was even more sure that he had fallen into the trap, but he did not send troops to pursue them. After all, it was not easy for cavalry to catch up, so it is more important to solve the main force of the Korean army.
After the Qin army returned to the previous battlefield, the Korean army naturally disappeared, leaving only corpses everywhere.
Seeing this, Zhang Liao couldn''t help but clench his fists and gritted his teeth and said, "Change the battlefield quickly, then take the bodies of the brothers who died in battle and retreat."
"No."
After counting, it was found that the Qin army suffered only more than 3,000 casualties in this battle, less than one-tenth of the total number of the entire army, of which 500 were lost to the Pojun heavy cavalry.
As for the Korean army, because they were facing a surprise attack from the Qin army and were being passively beaten, they did not have many effective counterattack methods, and finally they relied on suspicious tactics to deceive the Qin army.
Therefore, the South Korean army suffered extremely heavy casualties in this battle, with a total casualties reaching more than 20,000, reaching one-quarter of the entire army.
