Chapter 518: Retreating and Marching

"retreat!"

Within the Chu army's tent, a decisive voice sounded, causing the faces of many Chu army generals present to look shocked.

"Ling Yin absolutely must not do it!"

After the shock, one of the Chu army generals stepped forward quickly, his words full of anxiety, "Our army finally attacked Bacheng with great difficulty. Retreating at this time is tantamount to defeating the enemy. I would like to ask Yin Duo to think more about it."

yes!"

"Please make Yin think more about it."

Amidst the voices of encouragement from all around, the Chu army general standing in front of everyone made Yin Jingshe slowly loosen his tightly clenched right hand and slowly turned around to look at the generals present.

Looking at the famous general in front of him, Jing She said with some emotion: "I know your thoughts very well, and I don't want to choose to retreat at this time."

"There has always been enmity between Bach and Chu. In the past when the two countries fought, our Chu State was strong and had excellent soldiers and generals, so naturally we were not afraid of Ba's invasion."

"It's just that the Ba State formed an alliance with the Chu State's great enemy, the Wei State. Taking advantage of the great war between Wei and Chu, the Chu State's lack of military strength invaded our borders, killed our common people, occupied our territory, and even pushed the border between the two countries to a distance of

The capital of Ying is less than two hundred miles away from Yiling."

"You will never forget the humiliation brought by the Ba Kingdom to our Chu Kingdom, I will never forget it, and neither will the entire Chu Kingdom."

At this moment, Jing She took off the outer layer of the title of general from his body, and like an old man, he told the past grudges and resentments between Chu and Ba.

All the Chu army generals present were moved by these sincere words, and almost everyone's eyes turned red.

Facing the gazes of everyone present, Jingshe continued to say to everyone: "This time our country of Chu finally got this good opportunity. I, Jingshe, led you to fight in a bloody battle and finally reached the capital of King Ba.

Down."

"Seeing that we are about to succeed in one fell swoop, we have to choose to retreat at this moment. Not only you, but I also feel unwilling in every possible way."

"Your Majesty, let us attack the city again. We will surely seize the capital of the King of Ba in one fell swoop."

"Yes, Ling Yin, let us attack again."

"The last general is willing to be the vanguard."



"enough!"

Jing She's loud shout interrupted the requests of the generals present. He lowered his right hand to signal to stop and continued: "It is important to capture Bacheng, but the safety of the capital, Yingdu, is even more important."

"If there is no food, grass and baggage from the rear, our army will become a lone army, and sooner or later it will be annihilated."

"The battle report came from Yingdu. Wei General Pang Juan led a hundred thousand Wei and Korean troops to cross the Han River. It can be said that our capital of Chu is in danger."

"Everyone, when faced with such a critical moment, what do you think we should make?"

After Jing She finished speaking, the voices that had been begging for battle were no longer heard, and there was only silence in the big tent.

"Your Majesty, we are willing to withdraw our troops."

"We are willing to withdraw our troops."

"We are willing to withdraw our troops."



The reason why Jing She said what he just said was naturally to appease the soldiers.

The current dilemma facing the Chu State is unprecedented. The more critical this moment is, the more important it is to ensure the morale of the soldiers under his command.

Seeing that everyone present had no objections, and just as Jing She issued a specific instruction to retreat, a somewhat urgent report came from outside the big tent.

"Report..."

"I am reporting to your Majesty that 40,000 Wei troops are coming from the west and will arrive in Bacheng soon."

Taking the message from the hands of the messenger, Jing She quickly scanned it, and a moment later a look of solemnity appeared on his face.

"Wei Jun, you came so quickly!"



That is to say, at the same time that the Chu army outside Ba City received the news, the Wei army's messenger troops had already entered the palace.

"Prime Minister, Prime Minister, Prime Minister..."

Looking at Xiangguo Ba He walking slowly into the hall, King Ba's face was full of excitement at this moment.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter..."

Seeing that King Ba, who had been worried about the Chu army's offensive these days, was acting uncharacteristically at this moment, Ba He felt inexplicable doubts and confusion in his heart.

Before Ba He could ask the question, King Ba said to him impatiently: "Prime Minister, there is news about the Wei army. An army of 40,000 will arrive in Ba City in the day after."

After hearing the news from King Ba, a look of understanding appeared on Ba He's face.

Although the State of Ba managed to seize part of the land from the State of Chu with the help of the State of Wei last time, its national strength and combat power were still much lower than those of the State of Chu.

This is why the army of Ba that attacked Shu retreated from the front line in time, but still could not stop the invading Chu army, and allowed them to attack the city all the way to the bottom of Ba City.

However, although the Ba army was no match for the Chu army, King Ba did not think that his side would be the final loser.

As long as the Wei army launches an attack, everything will be fine.

Now that Wei's 40,000 reinforcements were about to arrive, King Ba, who was originally worried about the outcome of the war, gained some confidence and even considered counterattack.

"Has the Chu army outside the city made any moves recently?"

Xiangguo Bahe naturally understood what King Ba meant, and immediately bowed and responded: "Your Majesty, since the last attack on the city failed, the Chu army has been purging soldiers in the camp, and seems to be preparing for the next attack."

"Next siege?"

A look of coldness appeared on King Ba's face, and his tone was even colder, "I want to see how the Chu army can attack my city of Ba."

"Prime Minister, I would like to trouble you to come over for me. I have a secret message that I want to deliver to the Wei army general."

Following the instructions given by King Ba, Ba He immediately bowed and said, "I am willing to serve your Majesty."



"kill……"

The next day, a cry of killing suddenly sounded outside the Chu army camp outside Ba City. Countless Wei army elites armed with sharp blades and wearing heavy armor rushed into the camp with an unstoppable force.

Faced with such a rapid and violent offensive by the Wei army, the Chu army stationed here had no room for resistance. Within a short period of time, the red flag symbolizing the Wei state was hung on the camp.

What made Wei Shen, the leader of the Wei army, a little angry was that what he mobilized to attack was not a tightly defended Chu army camp, but an empty camp with only a few soldiers left to hide from others.

"hateful!"

After listening to the report from his soldiers, Wei Shen's right fist hit the map in front of him heavily.

At this moment, Gongsun Yang, who was standing by, slowly withdrew his gaze from the map, came to Wei Shen and softly comforted him.

"Prince, there is no need to be like this. The leader of this Chu army, Jing She, is a veteran on the battlefield. The reason why he left his soldiers behind and put on alert was to confuse our army and the Ba army."

"I predict that the main force of the Chu army must have received the news that our army was about to arrive, and chose to retreat to the east in advance."

"I know what the teacher said." With a slight sigh, Wei Shen restrained his anger and said with a bit of regret: "It's a pity that our army arrived a step too late and allowed him to escape so easily.

"

"Escape? I don't think so."

Seeing the confusion in Wei Shen's eyes, a smile appeared on Gongsun Yang's face, "According to the news from Wandi, the general has led an army of 100,000 to cross the Han River.

I was shocked every day."

"This large army attacking Ba is the elite of the Chu army. After returning to Chu, it will inevitably be sent to the front line to deal with our army. In other words, the prince will encounter it again sooner or later."

"What the teacher means is..."

"Previously, the king issued an order not long ago, ordering the prince to lead an army of 40,000 to attack Chu from the west."

Facing the bright color in Wei Shen's eyes, Gongsun Yang's face showed a smile, "As long as the prince acts according to the king's orders, our army will have a chance to defeat his Jingshe sooner or later."

"Wei Shen has learned a lesson, thank you teacher."

At this moment, Wei Shen's face was full of fighting spirit, and his left hand slowly pressed the hilt of the sword at his waist.

"My general ordered the army to rest for five days. After five days..."

"Attack Chu!"
