Chapter 278 If something goes wrong, there must be evil spirits
Chapter 278: If something goes wrong, there will be evil.
"Your brains are sick? The enemy has run away. Why do you use these catapults to spread?" Chen Ying roared at the cheerful cavalry army: "What catapults do you destroy? Isn't this a fee? The money to build a catapult is enough for you to spend more than ten or twenty years, and it will be ruined like this. Even if we are a loser, it is not a way to defeat it."
The soldiers of the cavalry were stunned by Chen Ying's yelling and were completely confused. It was obvious that the main task of this battle was to destroy the Xia army's catapult. We executed the orders. Is there any mistake?
However, in the army, it is a place where absolute obedience is paid. Even wrong commands need to be executed. For example, at critical moments, people need to fight for their lives. According to the correct way of thinking, this is definitely wrong, but from a global perspective, this is correct.
In fact, right and wrong, right and wrong are a very vague feeling, and the overall boundaries are even more blurred. Although these soldiers of the cavalry were inexplicably curiously by Chen Yingshen, no one dared to refute them.
Only Luo Shixin was sprayed with saliva on Chen Ying's face and stepped back and said, "If you destroy it, you will be destroyed. Now we have at least 7,000 beheadings this time, and we have won a big victory..."
"A big victory, no one of us won this battle!" Chen Ying was furious: "Do you know how much money we have to lose after thousands of cavalry?"
War is the economy, which is an indisputable fact!
For the battle in Hebei, Chen Ying paid a lot of military funds. First, the Yang family of Hongnong sent 100,000 stones of grain, which was not a small amount. In this era, Zheng Xia was beaten up and down. From Hedong to the Central Plains, from the Central Plains to Hebei, on millions of square kilometers of land, there were wolves everywhere, and grain production inevitably suffered a fatal blow.
Even if the Tang Dynasty court finally won the victory of this war, it would probably be difficult for the 100,000 stones of grain. However, the debt owed by the court was not only the 100,000 stones of grain, but also the armor and modao of the three Modao soldiers in the Zhechong Mansion, and more than 4,000 hooks and sickles. The court did not pay the money, and Chen Ying himself advanced the money.
The key is that Chen Ying is about to become Li Tang's son-in-law. If Li Yuan and Chen Ying are foolish and lose this debt, Chen Ying has no choice. If you can save a little.
Chen Ying was the thought of later generations. He felt that men would get a heavy betrothal gift no matter what, so that both men and women would have face. The ordinary 30,000 to 50,000 yuan is naturally not a minority for ordinary families, but as an imperial family, the ordinary 30,000 yuan for 50,000 yuan for 30,000 yuan for 50,000 yuan for 30,000 yuan for 50,000 yuan, as Chen Ying's identity, can no longer take advantage of it.
Chen Ying was preparing to hand over Li Yuan's steel factory that Li Yuan was most jealous, as Li Xiuning's betrothal gift. In this way, there were actually two benefits. The more generous Chen Ying acted, Li Yuan would definitely not be stingy, otherwise he would not be equipped with his imperial status. Li Xiuning's dowry would definitely not be missing.
Zhang Shigui's head was quite active. He vaguely guessed that the real reason why Chen Ying was in a bad mood was not the reason on the battlefield at all, but because Chen Ying was about to get married, so he was a little anxious. Of course, Zhang Shigui didn't know that Chen Ying had premarital phobia at this time.
Zhang Shigui bowed and said, "What the general taught me is that the last general dares not, and he will never dare again!"
Chen Ying sighed and said earnestly: "If you can listen, I will be grateful."
At this moment, Luo Shixin muttered with grumbling: "Didn't the general say that Liu Heita is very powerful? Why is it so indifferent to fight? Is the entire army defeated?"
As the saying goes, it’s unintentional, but Chen Ying didn’t feel anything at all, but after Luo Shixin reminded him, Chen Ying felt something was wrong.
Liu Heita is capable of fighting, but he is very capable of fighting. In history, Luo Shixin was killed by Liu Heita. Not only Luo Shixin, but also Li Daoxun, Li Daoxun, Li Daoxun, Li Daoxun, and Li Xiaogong, the three royal family members of Li Tang, and had great military achievements. However, Li Daoxun, who led a 30,000 army to attack Liu Heita, was also defeated and died, and was defeated in the hands of Liu Heita.
As a time traveler, Chen Ying's biggest advantage is to be foresight. If Liu Heita had only such a few tricks, he would not have been able to annex the entire 39 prefectures of Hebei in just three months in history, defeating Li Shimin, Li Yuanji, and Li Shentong, and eventually defeated Li Jiancheng.
If something goes wrong, there will be evil.
Chen Ying became alert in an instant: "Hurry up, order the army to withdraw!"
When Luo Shixin heard this, he was anxious: "General, now the Xia army has collapsed across the board. It is time to expand the results of the war. How can he order the withdrawal?"
Zhang Shigui also felt strange and said, "Yes, General, do you think Xia Jun is pretending to be defeated?"
Chen Yingxun looked at the sound and saw that the entire Xia army was like a broken dog, in panic all day long. Thousands of the Tang army's shooting army soldiers let go of their fingers at the same time, and swished swished swished! The bowstrings trembled, and the triangular arrow shot out, shooting the Xia army soldiers running in the front and back, and many of them were shot into hedgehogs, and the Xia army soldiers in the back row were almost wiped out!
Before the first wave of arrows had fallen, the second wave came again. The sharp arrows fell like slanting rain. The soldiers of the Xia army shouted and neighed, screaming loudly. I don’t know how many arrows fell to the ground, and how many injured Xia army soldiers ran wildly, pushing their own people to the ground, or slashing the robes that were in the way.
Thousands of light arrows followed the Tang army with horizontal swords, waving their swords. After the Xia army, they slashed hard, and many Xia army soldiers were cut to death. The Xia army soldiers were already killed and injured. The Xia army soldiers who were lucky to have not been killed were covered with blood and flesh, with pale faces, and the morale was completely gone.
Sprinkling salt into other people's wounds has always been Chen Ying's favorite thing, and his subordinates naturally inherited his advantages. With a roar, the horizontal knife in the hand of the horizontal knife danced like the wind, and batches of Xia army soldiers fell down like chopped sugarcane.
At this time, the Xia army soldiers were completely disorganized. They either had their legs cut off or were poured into the back of the cavalry soldiers' hook and sickle spear and came out of their chests.
The distance was far away, the archers were shooting, the distance was close, and the slashing was horizontal, and the Tang cavalry, who could not be stabbed by a knife or a gun, helped the battle. Such a strange fighting style and such tacit cooperation made them almost unable to fight back. No matter how brave the soldiers on the downhill road were killed without suspense, the battle turned into a one-sided massacre.
No matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem like a retreat, but it's more like a real defeat.
At this moment, Chen Ying was wondering whether he had made a mistake in judgment. Liu Heita was just an embroidered pillow that was not good at using it. However, Luo Shixin rushed to Chen Ying and said, "General Chen, are they cheating defeat?"
Chen Ying was about to answer, but suddenly he was stunned.
Because he thought of a possibility.
When Dou Jiande defeated Xue Shixiong, it was actually the same. The soldiers of the entire army pretended to be defeated. As a result, they took advantage of Xue Shixiong's unpreparedness and raided with elite troops, and then Xue Shixiong was defeated and died.
Dou Jiande's use of troops must have influenced Liu Heita.
Liu Heita is definitely not so easy to fail, he must have a second move.
Chen Yingdao: "If something goes wrong, there will be a demon. The entire army will stop pursuing immediately and consolidate the results of the battle. If you disobey the military order, kill it without any hesitation!"
