Chapter 1609 Send to death? Abandoned son?


    Chapter 1607: Send to death? Abandoned son?


    Shortly after digging the Yellow River and flooding the Qi army, Li Jing fired another fire, burning the entire forest and burning the Northern Han United Army.


    Although he failed to do his best this time and only wiped out nearly 5,000 enemy troops, the Qin army still admired Li Jing very much.


    After the water attack, the fire attack was followed, and it was all successful.


    Even if you escape, you can plot against your opponent, and you almost wiped out the enemy. This is the smartest mind that you can think of so many strategies in such a short time.


    Originally, because he retreated at the last minute and was chased by Wang Mang all the way, the entire Qin army was panicked, but after the fire attack, the entire army was not very worried, and they all firmly believed that Li Jing would definitely bring them back to the Beihai.


    Li Jing was also moved by the trust of everyone, but his heart did not seem to show that he was so calm, because he knew that the biggest crisis was coming soon.


    Shortly after joining the army, Li Jing led his army to retreat and summoned all the generals over, while the generals were laughing and laughing, as if they all thought that the war had ended here and they would definitely be able to retreat to the North Sea safely.


    "The war has not ended yet, how can you be so casual?" Li Jing frowned and scolded.


    All the generals were no longer laughing, while Qin Ming smiled and said, "Prince, there is a fire forest to block it. How can Wang Mang chase it? When the fire is extinguished, our army has returned to the Beihai."


    "It would be great if this is true."


    Li Jing sighed and then said seriously: "A mere fire forest cannot stop Wang Mang."


    As he said that, Li Jing spread out the map, pointed to a corner above, and said, "Although you will walk dozens of miles on this road, if all the cavalry are chasing us, you can still catch up with our army.


    I guess Wang Mang must have gathered all the cavalry under his command. In half a day, the cavalry of the Northern Han Dynasty would catch up. ”


    "What?"


    The generals exclaimed one after another. They all thought that there was a fire forest blocking him and Wang Mang would definitely not be able to catch up, but unexpectedly, the forest that had burned more than ten miles could not stop the enemy''s pursuit.


    "Sir, since you have guessed that the enemy will catch up, why not set up an ambush on this road?" Qin Ming asked in confusion.


    Li Jing shook his head speechlessly and did not answer immediately. Ran Min replied instead: "Look at this terrain carefully, it''s flat, how can you set up an ambush?"


    “That…is true.”


    A hint of embarrassment flashed across Qin Ming''s face, and then he seemed to remember something again, saying, "But even if the North Sea cavalry has arrived, there are only more than ten thousand cavalry. Our army has 55,000 troops. Are you still afraid that these 10,000 cavalry will not be able to do this?"


    "Yes, it''s just right here. Eliminate all the ten thousand cavalry." Shi Jin said excitedly.


    Taishici retorted: "How to eliminate it? In this kind of flat terrain, unless the enemy takes the initiative to fight our army, our army will never be able to catch up."


    "Isn''t the cavalry of the Northern Han Dynasty chasing us just to destroy our army? How could he not fight the decisive battle with our army?" Shi Jin said in surprise.


    "The cavalry in the North Sea does not need to fight our army to decisively. They just need to hold back our army''s advance speed until Wang Mang''s army catches up." Taishi Ci said in a deep voice.


    "So, it''s still not that simple for our army to retreat to the Beihai?"


    Qin Ming looked surprised, while Ran Min and other generals did not answer, but the meaning was self-evident.


    Seeing that everyone was talking and talking, Li Jing had already told the situation facing the Qin army almost exactly, so he added: "I had expected this long before retreating, and this was also a risk that must be taken for implementing a fire attack.


    But at that time, I thought that if the fire attack could be successful, our army would turn defeat into victory in an instant, and all crises would naturally be eliminated invisibly.


    Unfortunately, the fire attack failed to do its best in the end, and now our army must also endure the backlash. ”?????After saying that, Li Jing raised his head, but found that everyone was looking at him.


    "Sir, you just want to do it, we will all listen to you." Taishici said seriously.


    "Well, we all listen to you." The generals said in unison.


    Hearing this, a trace of guilt flashed in Li Jing''s eyes and said in a deep voice: "Once the Beihai cavalry catches up, it is almost impossible for our army to successfully retreat to the Beihai, so it must be restrained before this."


    "How to restrain it? Our army cannot catch up with the cavalry." Qin Ming asked.


    "The only ones who can catch up with the cavalry are the cavalry."


    At this point, a trace of pain flashed in Li Jing''s eyes, and then he walked to Ran Min, put his hands on his shoulders, and said with great difficulty: "General Ran Min, whether our army can retreat to Beihai smoothly depends on your Hu Ben Camp."


    Ran Min was stunned. Before he could speak, the generals were in a bad mood.


    "What? Let the three thousand Hu Ben camps fight against tens of thousands of Northern Han cavalry? This is simply going to die."


    "Yes, among the cavalry of the Northern Han Dynasty, there are not only the Liaodong Iron Cavalry, but also the Youzhou Iron Cavalry. How can it be stopped by relying on only three thousand Hu Ben Camps?"


    "Yeah yeah…"


    “Enough.”


    After Ran Min shouted loudly, all the generals stopped immediately, and Ran Min said to Li Jing: "I have taken this mission from Hu Ben Camp."


    Li Jing''s eyes were full of guilt and said, "This is a tough battle. Even if the elite are like the Hu Ben Camp, there will be heavy casualties, but our army has no other choice.


    If the Huben Camp does not go, the 50,000 troops will not be able to return to the Beihai, and the entire army may even be wiped out. Therefore, for the sake of the entire army, the Huben Camp can only be sacrificed. ”


    Ran Min said calmly: "As long as the entire army can be protected, any price will be accepted."


    Ran Min still understands the principle of abandoning the car to protect the handsome guy. If he has no handsome guy, he will definitely lose this game of chess. So why do you still need a car?


    Therefore, in Ran Min''s view, even if the Hu Ben Camp is really regarded as an abandoned son, as long as the main force can be saved, the sacrifice of the Hu Ben Camp is worth it.


    As for your own safety? Ran Min is not worried about this.


    At worst, if he is alone and kills him, if Ran Min is really determined to escape, who else in the world can keep him?


    Li Jing was relieved when he heard Ran Min say this. After all, Ran Min was the commander of the Hu Ben Camp, and he still had a criminal record of not obeying military orders.


    Therefore, if Ran Min is unwilling to go, even Li Jing, as the chief general, cannot force Ran Min to submit.


    "General Ran Min, please rest assured that although this mission is dangerous, as long as it is properly operated, it can still minimize casualties and return them."


    As he said that, a glimmer flashed in Li Jing''s eyes and he sneered: "If I was not wrong, Wang Mang should have concentrated all the powerful generals into the cavalry team to strengthen the combat power of the Northern Han cavalry.


    So this time, Taishi Ci, Qin Ming, Lin Chong, Lu Junyi, Hu Yanzhuo, Shi Jin, Lu Zhishen, Chao Gai, Yan Qing, you all acted with General Ran Min. ”


    "No." The generals shouted in unison.
