Chapter 314 How can you not chase?(1/2)
Facing the military report of the scouts returning quickly.
Fei Yao couldn't help but fell into deep thought for a moment, thinking hard.
The enemy camp is empty?
Could it be that the enemy heard that the powerful clans were coming with help, and that they were frightened, so they hurriedly evacuated this place at night?
According to normal logic, this is actually common sense.
After all, there is already an extremely serious imbalance in military strength between the two sides, and now our own side is about to increase its power.
The balance of power between the two sides is about to be broken.
The most rational decision is to retreat first to avoid its sharp edge.
only.
He had been facing off against Zhao Tong for quite some time.
But the impression this person gave him was that although he was still young, he was not reckless and acted in an extremely orderly manner.
At this moment, Fei Yao seemed to be vaguely worried, fearing that the empty camp was the opponent's strategy.
He muttered carefully for quite a while.
Fei Yao's face turned serious just now, and he asked in a deep voice: "Can you find out clearly, is the news that the enemy camp is empty is accurate?"
"Have you found any traces of the enemy hiding in the camp?"
After saying this, the scout did not dare to be careless at all. With a straight face, he raised his hands and responded loudly: "General Fei, we have not found any enemy ambushes yet."
After hearing his words, his somewhat worried heart gradually relaxed.
According to what was said, Tong Zhao most likely heard that private soldiers from various families gathered here, and led his troops to evacuate south at night.
However, as soon as this thought came up, he, who still had a slight smile on his face, froze, as if he had thought of something.
His face suddenly became extremely solemn, and his eyes became more and more complicated, and he murmured: "This guy is fierce and calm, but I didn't expect that he can still be so calm now."
"Knowing that the enemy is strong and we are weak, do you want to lead your troops to temporarily avoid the edge?"
"This guy is really difficult to deal with!"
For a moment, it was not difficult to see from Fei Yao's expression as he murmured emotions to himself that he was deeply afraid of Zhao Tong.
He originally hoped that Zhao Tongzhi would be satisfied.
In recent days, only a few thousand soldiers have resisted the offensive of several times the strength of his troops, in order to strengthen his momentum.
Let him be blindly confident at this moment and continue to garrison here, so that he can fight head-on.
In that case, it would be a great opportunity for him to command all the tribes and annihilate the Shu army.
It can be seen that this person was so decisive in retreating with his troops.
It is indeed too difficult to deal with.
"This general is very capable of judging the situation. Isn't it difficult to deal with him?"
For a while, he was in the main formation, sighing deeply, but the battle was now extremely fierce.
This is not a time to procrastinate.
He thought about it and was about to order the entire army to bypass the Han army's empty camp and pursue the retreating Shu army to the south.
"There was no trace of the enemy. Apparently they heard about the steady stream of reinforcements coming from our army, so they were frightened and could only flee in a hurry."
"The whole army obeys the general's order and marches to Longnan..."
But just when he was waving the long sword in his hand and giving the military order in the middle of the order, something suddenly seemed to come to his mind and he quickly fell silent.
After a while, the original serious tone in his words relaxed.
"You rush to the front line quickly and order all the troops to stay where they are for the time being. Take a short rest and don't move lightly."
After saying that, he solemnly shouted to the sentry again: "You will return quickly, and then select the elite backbone of the scout camp to disperse to the surrounding areas to find out the true situation of the enemy."
"If there is any movement on the enemy's whereabouts, come immediately and report to the general."
"Is there a mistake?"
"Well, general, please don't worry."
One order.
The scout received the military order again, then said goodbye and jumped on the horse again to run.
I heard this order from my general.
Many generals and commanders gathered around the formation couldn't help but look at each other in confusion for a moment, with doubts all over their faces.
"General, why... why don't you take advantage of the situation and pursue us?"
"Yes, since the enemy has abandoned their camp and fled this time, our army's military advantage is several times that of the opponent, and we have lost the solid camp and the defenses built one after another."
"How can the Shu army be our opponent?"
"I wonder what General Fei is hesitating about?"
"Yes, why are we stationing troops in place now?"
All of a sudden.
Facing the generals' unanimous inquiries, Fei Yao seemed to be silent for a long time, and then he smiled slightly to show that he was smiling without saying a word!
In fact, even he himself has not yet thought about how to respond to everyone.
He wasn't even sure if he was being too cautious.
This time he did not take advantage of the situation to pursue, but just to be on the safe side, he wanted to send scouts to get some information first, and after finding out the truth, he marched quickly.
And are not willing to take huge risks.
If it was really a trap set up by Zhao Tong to trick him into pursuing and setting up an ambush, it would be more gain than loss for him!
As the Han camp and various units of the Han army retreated slowly under the cover of night.
Since early in the day, they have been surrounded by various groups of Cao's army.
only.
Because it was under the command of General Fei Yao.
All the ministries had no choice but to surround the camp and stay in place.
This probably took a while.
The sentinels who went to the south to inquire continuously returned slowly one after another.
And they also brought back the news that Fei Yao was thinking hard and could not make a decision.
"Reporting to the general, I have sent people to the south to continuously conduct in-depth investigations, and found that the various units of the Shu army have indeed led their troops to retreat."
"We are now approaching the main road to the west of Wangcheng Valley."
"They will join up with the Baima Qiang tribes, and then with the help of the Qiang people, they can safely return to the Qiang Road."
The conversation ended after a while.
As soon as this statement came out.
In a temporary military camp.
The generals standing tall and tall on both sides became energetic again after hearing these words.
Immediately, they couldn't help but raise their hands and call for battle: "General Fei, it seems that the enemy troops have really withdrawn across the board."
"The situation is now completely clear."
"The enemy was afraid of the combined efforts of the Liangzhou families who came to our aid, so they fled in a hurry."
"Our army must not hesitate at this moment and miss the opportunity to wipe out the Shu thieves who have severely damaged them."
"Yes, yes!"
"If once the Shu bandits and the Baima Qiang tribes are gathered together, our army will really have no chance of annihilation."
The words fell silently.
At this time, Fei Yao couldn't help but raise his head, his eyes drifted around, looking around, and the worries in his heart gradually eased.
"What you all said makes sense!"
"This time the enemy invaders dare to invade our counties in Liangzhou with only a few thousand in number."
"If our army allows them to escape, wouldn't the enemy's arrogance become even more arrogant in the future?"
"On this occasion, there will be no peaceful days in our Liangzhou border."
"This battle should indeed be fought to severely injure the enemy."
After a while, the words fell.
Fei Yao seemed to have pondered this decision in his heart for a long time, and then gave the order sharply.
To be continued...
