Chapter 437: Farewell
The attack on Jingzhou City by the Mongolian army's large tent soldiers suddenly came to an abrupt end after several days of round-up attacks. The peace since the war began appeared in Jingzhou City. The Mongolian army calmly collected the bodies of the dead under the city, and the city did not launch an attack on these naked-handed corpse collectors, but allowed them to carry the bodies of their comrades away.
The city was gradually cleaned up, but only the remaining soldiers in one place were broken blades. In the city, the same work was also underway. Huge pillars of smoke emerged from outside the city, which were burning the bodies of the dead. The Mongolian army wanted to take the ashes of the dead home. In the city, there were not enough places to bury the dead. In this weather, the bodies of the dead cannot be left for a long time. Once the time was too long, the bodies were rotten, which was very easy to cause plague. For this reason, Cheng Qun allowed the Mongolian army to restrain the bodies of their soldiers who died in battle.
The sadness of burning the bodies of comrades in the city was greatly weakened by the upcoming victory. The longer the time, the greater the hope of their victory. What's more, for the army in the city, they hope not only a simple victory, but a complete annihilation, and the troops on both wings will be in place soon. At that time, the counterattack will begin.
In the city, the atmosphere inside Lin Ya's big tent was extremely solemn. The four ten thousand men looked at Lin Ya in extreme shock, and were shocked by Lin Ya's bold speculation, and almost all of them were confused.
"I have sent out several squad detectives. They set off last night. According to the time I gave them, they must rush back at noon today. If they haven't come back, everyone will understand what happened!" Lin Ya said slowly. Overnight, his black hair was almost half white. He was just forty years old, and it was when he was young and strong, but the cruel and stern heart almost hit him to pieces.
The door of the big tent was open, and the flagpole not far away was shining under the sunlight. A long shadow was dragged out. The four ten thousand men turned their eyes to the tent, looking at the shadow that had been shrinking over time. Every time they passed, their faces became more dismal.
No one spoke, everyone's eyes were staring at the black shadow.
The black shadow slowly shortened to the foundation of the flagpole. Finally, the shadow and the flagpole completely overlapped. The four ten thousand captains hung their heads powerlessly. The military discipline of the big tent soldiers was extremely strict. Since time has not come back, it only means that they will never come back.
"General, we must retreat immediately." A tenement leader stood up and waved his hands, "Let's go immediately before the enemy siege."
"Can you go?" One person asked, "There are enemies on both wings. Instead of being chased by the enemy while escaping, we might as well fight them here to the death. Even if you die, you will be glorious and break through Jingzhou City. Kill all the people inside to bury us!"
"Winning through Cangjiang, as long as you cross the river, the sky will let the birds fly. Can they catch up with us?"
"I can't cross the river!" Lin Ya said tiredly: "Since this is a trap, the Jingzhou Navy has never gone far. They must be hidden in somewhere. Maybe they are returning to Jingzhou City now. Cangjiang does not belong to us. If we really want to cross the river, their navy will intercept it on the water surface and pursue the Vietnamese army behind us. On the oppressed beach, we will have no room for maneuver and will be defeated faster!"
"Then fight and attack the city!" Another ten thousand lord stood up.
Lin Ya sighed, "It is impossible to defeat the city. If what I expected is good, Cheng Qun himself must have the city of Jingzhou. The number of Vietnamese soldiers in the city is far beyond our imagination."
"What should we do? General, there is nowhere to escape, and we can't win the fight. Could it be that we just sit and wait for death?"
"We still have the last hope now, that is, Cheng Qun may not know that we have discovered this trap, and our last glimmer of vitality is placed on this little time difference. We cannot cross the river, we will rush towards Tengchong at the fastest speed, breaking through one of the troops blocking the army." Lin Ya said.
"But there are the Yue army's Baotao Guards, Su Can and Congliang's 200,000 troops there. If the general's guess is, this is a shocking trap. If we go there, we will encounter more enemies." A ten thousand men said.
"No!" Lin Ya shook her head, "If my guess is true, then there are not many troops in Tengchong now. Whether it is Baotaowei or Su Can Congliang, they will definitely go against Prince Aslan, Prince Barutu! So, we rushed to Tengchong, where there is a floating river where they crossed the river, right? Flying across the river and giving them a heavy blow from behind. At that time, Prince Aslan's army was in front and our army was behind, and it was not impossible to defeat the enemy."
The four ten thousand men's captains were all lit up, "In this way, can we turn defeat into victory? Defeat them, meet Prince Aslan, and then turn around and deal with the army in Jingzhou City!"
"Yes, that's it."
"Since that's the case, why are we still staying here? Draw the camp immediately and set off." A ten thousand mentor said excitedly.
Lin Ya sat without moving, looked at the four people, and slowly said, "But Cheng Qun is here, we suddenly left and headed towards Tengchong. How could we hide it from his eyes? He could even think of it with his butt. What are we doing? He would immediately lead his army out of the city, entangle us, and wait for the two wings to close. We could not arrive at Tengchong to fight for this only chance."
His eyes swept across the four people under his seat, with expectations in his eyes.
The four ten thousand men looked at each other, and in an instant, they all understood the meaning of Lin Ya's words. Who could be the leader of the tent? That general who was not a war-torn general? The four of them lowered their heads, held the hilt tightly in their hands, and swallowed their throats up and down. Obviously, their hearts were in fierce conflict at this time.
Lin Ya's meaning is very obvious. A part of the enemy needs to be left here to continue to fight for the siege. After Cheng Qun discovered their intentions, he fought to kill the opponent's pursuit, thus ensuring that other people could arrive in Tengchong smoothly. Staying behind would mean that they would die several times or even ten times more than their own enemy. And under the siege of the opponent, there was almost no possibility of survival.
To put it bluntly, staying is death, and one's own death is exchanged for the life of his comrades.
Lin Ya is like a sculpture, sitting on a chair, looking at the four ten thousand men in a quiet manner.
He didn't speak, but the four ten thousand captains could feel his eyes shooting on them like shuttles.
Finally, the head of the Wanfu, who had been yelling to break through Jingzhou City and fought to the death, trembled a few times on his face, looked at his companions left and right, and took a step forward.
"I'll do it!" After saying this, he seemed to suddenly feel relieved.
The other three ten thousand men breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Ya was still sitting and not moving. Looking at the captain ten thousand men, he said softly for a while: "Thank you, Hao Lianbo."
Hao Lianbo smiled bitterly, "There must be someone who does this. If you don't do it, you will die. If you do it, you may live. General. When you come back from victory, don't forget to find my corpse, take me back, and bury me in the desert. Even if you only find one hand and one leg."
Lin Ya's nose was a little sore, and she almost burst into tears. He stood up, hardened his heart, and nodded, "Don't worry, as long as I'm still alive, I will definitely take you home!"
"I feel relieved if I have this sentence from the general." Hao Lianbo smiled.
"Do you have anything to say to me to bring you a wife or baby?"
"No more, I'm dead, and His Majesty the Emperor will take good care of them. The boys in the family are old and will be able to fight in a few years. There is nothing to say. Isn't there an old saying in Yue people that the general will inevitably die in front of the battlefield, and the horse and corpse are still wrapped in horses and corpses, which is a kind of glory for us!"
"Okay!" Lin Ya slapped the table, "This is our hero, Hao Lian, our main force will leave tonight, and you, from the evening, start siege the city and constantly attack the city until Cheng Qun finds something wrong. The longer you delay here, the more confident we will be to break through one of the enemy's blockades and arrive in Tengchong. Once Cheng Qun finds out of the city and fights, you know what to do!"
"Fight to the death until the last man and the last horse fell!" Hao Lianbo said resolutely.
"You three, prepare for the evening evacuation immediately. Remember that the camp cannot be withdrawn and the flag cannot be collapsed. Each army must leave some people to create the illusion that the army is still in the camp. Each soldier can only take away the fighting horses, and other camel horses and horses, and horses, are left in the camp, and can deceive for a moment."
"I understand!" the three of them said at the same time.
"Say goodbye to Hao Lian!" Lin Ya turned around and pretended to look at the map behind her, and tears finally fell down.
Three ten thousand men walked up to Hao Lianbo and hugged him one by one to say goodbye.
The three of them left, and Hao Lianbo bowed to Lin Ya with his fists and said, "General, then I'll go and prepare to attack the city!"
Lin Ya nodded, "Go, remember, don't tell the soldiers, to your general, just say we will go to another target!"
"I can't save it!" Hao Lian nodded, turned around and strode out of the tent.
Lin Ya turned around, looked at Hao Lianbo's back, and punched hard on the big case in front of him. With a loud bang, the big case was broken into several pieces and collapsed on the ground.
When the sun was about to set in Jingzhou City, which had been calm for a day, the rumbling war drums sounded again, and the shouts of killing were deafening. Countless Mongolian soldiers stolenly launched a crazy attack on the northern gate of Jingzhou City. The attack strength was even better than in the past few days.
In the General's Mansion, the personnel flowed continuously, and the battle reports from the city wall gathered on Cheng Qun's desk like a flowing stream. The enemy gave up several attacks at the same time and focused on one city wall, which surprised Cheng Qun.
"How far is Qianniuwei from Jingzhou City?"
"According to the generals, according to previous estimates, they should be about fifty miles away from Jingzhou City. The leading guards are also almost the same."
"In other words, the day after tomorrow, we can surround our opponents and launch an encirclement and annihilation?" Cheng Qun's face showed a smile.
"Yes, General, the day after tomorrow, will be our day of victory!" The staff and generals around him all had joyful smiles on their faces.
Chapter completed!
