Chapter 153 Retreat, I won't do it!
"Your Majesty General, the scout is back."
Luo Shixin was waiting for news about the scouts tonight. The waves of scouts sent out had not come back for a long time, which made him feel a little heavier: it was not coming back, it was very likely that something happened and he could not come back. This meant that the Turks were really coming.
If the Turks really came, Luo Shixin found that he could do nothing before he got the exact news, and a feeling of playing with it became too big.
Hearing the news that the scout came back, he was shocked in vain and said, "Hurry and invite him in!"
Wang Xuance walked into the handsome tent with a little nervous mood, and the curtain fell.
The light inside was very dark, the air was moist and dull. Wang Xuance looked at the people in the tent, and finally his eyes fell on the man directly in front of him, feeling a little excited: "Idol!" He has been in the army for more than a year, but this is the first time he has had contact with his idol at such a close distance.
Luo Shixin is not old, and he is only twenty-one years old this year. He has no family background and no support from anyone. He joined the army at the age of twelve or thirteen, and gradually became the general's position at the age of twenty. His deeds can almost publish a novel of determination.
The Tang Dynasty was martial, and almost all young people nowadays aimed at Luo Shixin as their role model and motivation for life, and regarded him as an idol of the Tang Dynasty.
Wang Xuance just passed the eighteenth year this year. It was precisely because of Luo Shixin's existence that he decided to abandon literature and practice martial arts and join the army.
Looking at the idol who was so close to him, Wang Xuance couldn't control his emotions.
"Don't be nervous, I'm not a human-eating tiger. There's nothing scary!" Luo Shixin smiled and joked, spending many days in Chang'an. He could vaguely feel the admiring eyes of the boys, and knew that he had inexplicably had prestige in the young army, and used jokes to relieve his nervousness.
Wang Xuance had strong self-control ability and recovered in a moment, "I have met General Xue, General Lei, General Gao. General Lu, General Su Lang, and General Mo Lang." He saluted Luo Shixin, Xue Yong, Lei Yongji, Zhang Pinggao, Lu Junyan, Su Dingfang, and Mo Hu'er one by one in terms of his position.
"Attack, there is no need to be polite at all times. Tell me, what did you find during this inspection? Did the Turks have arrived nearby?" Luo Shixin was full of energy when he spoke, but he seemed a little tired. This time he was having a big time. The current situation is very subtle, even Luo Shixin became sentimental and difficult to fall asleep.
Wang Xuance said in a deep voice: "Reply to the general's words, the generals did find out the whereabouts of the Turks. They camped fifty miles west of the Great Wall to rest. According to estimates, they could pass the Great Wall at about noon and arrive at Yuyang before dusk."
"So fast!" This thought flashed through Luo Shixin's heart.
Xue Yong, Lei Yongji, Zhang Pinggao and six others took a deep breath and exhaled.
Luo Shixin called them over and expressed suspicion. Because there was no definite evidence, Luo Shixin could not insist that it was Luo Yi. Otherwise, he would let Luo Yi bite it back. The gain was not worth it, and he just said that he was suspicious.
Except for Su Dingfang, everyone felt that Luo Shixin was too careful. Now that he heard that the Turks were really coming, everyone was not calm. They were all long-standing generals. They were all long-standing generals. They were as clear as what the arrival of the Turks meant and what changes would bring about at this moment.
"Is there any more detailed information?" Luo Shixin couldn't help asking. He didn't expect much hope for the answer. After all, it was late at night, and it was unlikely that the Turkic troops could be seen from the ban.
Who would have thought...
"There are 100,000 elite soldiers, and are powerful soldiers composed of Turkic Tuojie and guards!" Wang Xuance answered without hesitation.
"What!" Hearing this news, even Luo Shixin couldn't calm down and exclaimed: "100,000?"
The others were even more silly.
"It's 100,000!" Wang Xuance summoned Jie Li's intention to mobilize a 100,000 army from Yi Nan.
Luo Shixin was amused and crying. Jie Li looked down on him so much that he specially sent an army of 100,000 for him.
Facing the 100,000 Turkic spirit cavalry, not to mention others, even Luo Shixin himself lacks this confidence to fight this battle. This is not because he does not have enough courage, but because he understands the gap in strength. This gap cannot be made up with his blood and courage.
If courage is omnipotent, that calf can dominate the world, which is obviously impossible.
He had an army of 50,000, and except for the seriously injured soldiers who died in battle, there were only about 45,000.
Now forty-five thousand soldiers and horses are sieging Yuyang. If the Turks come, they will be able to fight 100,000. But if the soldiers gather, it means that the Turkish soldiers and horses can safely enter the city from the vacant city gate to support. Yuyang is still a city at least. By then, there will be 90,000 Turkic cavalry outside, and there will be 10,000 Turkic cavalry and 10,000 Yan troops in the city, which will be even more unbearable.
The price of forcibly fighting this battle was that all the troops were wiped out.
"No!" Luo Shixin suddenly realized that Wang Xuance was saying too much, and asked, "How did you know so clearly?"
Wang Xuance explained everything from beginning to end to detail about what happened at night.
"Will there be a fraud? The army of 100,000 is too scary?" Xue Yong said with a frown, feeling that the Turks were likely to be acting.
"No!" Wang Xuance replied immediately: "I think they leaked the news to me specifically, because they didn't need to act and there was no need to do anything extra. If you want to conceal their whereabouts, just arrest me and kill me. If you finish it, you don't need to do these boring things at all."
Wang Xuance felt strange on the way back when he came back. He thought about it carefully and felt that the other party was deliberately revealing the news to him in front of him.
Luo Shixin praised: "This little brother's analysis is very reasonable... There is no need for the Turks to scare us. When they learn about our attack on Yuyang, they cannot come to save them. As long as they come to rescue them, the number will not be small. There is no need to do this. As far as I know, Jie Li is fierce and unkind, there are still many people who don't like him on the grassland. It is not surprising that their information is revealed secretly."
Xue Yong stopped talking.
Others also felt that Luo Shixin’s statement made sense in this matter.
"General, let's retreat!" Zhang Pinggao looked unwilling, but he was the first to express his intention to withdraw.
The atmosphere in the tent suddenly became cold to freezing point and was silent.
"Retreat! In order to waste the lives of the soldiers in vain, we retreated to Peiping. The border soldiers were almost wiped out. If we lose again, Youzhou will be out of order. The Turks are not the Xi tribe. If they take Youzhou, we will be even more passive." Lu Junyan also agreed to withdraw his troops at this time.
Next, Xue Yong, Lei Yongji, Zhang Pinggao and even Su Dingfang said that retreating was the best strategy.
Luo Shixin looked at all the generals in the tent and said, "I won't do it if I withdraw my troops!"
