Chapter 187: On the battlefield

The State of Xia has clear regulations on its own casualties. If unnecessary casualties occur during the war, even if they make contributions, they will only become successful.

Of course, Huo Qubing knew this, but he was a little unwilling to give up the fruits of victory. But if he had to be punished after winning a battle, Huo Qubing would be even more unhappy.

Therefore, Huo Qubing made a decision without thinking for long: "Okay, just like what you said, just sleepless and not attack." After saying this, Huo Qubing stood up and left the military tent without saying a word.

That night, the coalition forces on the mountain were terrified, fearing that the Xia army at the foot of the mountain would suddenly launch an attack and then cut off the diligence, so they lived a life of like the New Year all night.

Of course, there were still some enemy soldiers who wanted to escape from the encirclement while the night was dark, but of course they were not successful. They were all cleaned up when they were discovered.

The next morning, Li Jing led the main force of the Xia army to this battlefield.

"The last general will meet the general!" "The subordinates will meet the general!" Huo Qubing and Zhu Cheng and others met Li Jing.

"Everyone is free, thank you for your hard work!" This is Li Jing's first sentence after meeting.

Immediately afterwards, Li Jing turned to the war in front of him: "You have done a good job and did not launch a strong attack on the enemy."

"What's the enemy on the mountain now?" Before several people could reply, Li Jing learned about the current situation from several people.

Zhu Cheng took a half step forward, clasped his fists at Li Jing, and replied: "Return to General, the enemy has been trapped in the high ground, and there are currently estimated that there are about 100,000 people."

"100,000 people?" Li Jing was a little strange when he heard this number. He didn't expect that the enemy had lost half of it. It was only less than a day, but then he remembered the information from the Pioneer Army not long ago, and he understood it.

"Is there a strategy against the enemy?" Li Jing thought for a while and decided to ask Zhu Cheng who was the one who was the one who wanted to know what the people were thinking, which was also a test for them.

"General, the last general believes that as long as a large army is sent, he will be able to capture it in one fell swoop." The first answer this time was Huo Qubing: "Our army cannot spend time on fighting for the remaining enemies in front of us."

"Well, General Huo is right." Li Jing first affirmed Huo Qubing's suggestion. Before Huo Qubing was happy, he turned to Zhu Cheng, Taidong and the others and asked, "Where are you two? This is the same view?"

Zhu Cheng and Taidong were very excited when they saw that Li Jing, the commander, actually valued their opinions so much, but looking at Huo Qubing, who was a little surprised, Zhu Cheng hesitated for a moment, and finally gave Taidong a look and decided to let Taidong raise their opinions.

"Return to the general, my subordinates believe that although the enemy in front of me is in vain, the number of people should not be underestimated." Taidong finally mustered up the courage and expressed his opinion to Li Jing: "Although the army can defeat the strong attack in one fell swoop, there will inevitably be sacrifices."

"Where is no one who can't die in a war?" Before Taidong finished speaking, Huo Qubing interrupted without hesitation: "Why are you fighting if you are afraid of death?"

"General Huo, let him talk first!" Li Jing raised his hand to stop Huo Qubing and signaled Taidong to continue.

"General Huo said yes." When Taidong spoke, he first bowed to Huo Qubing, and then continued: "The subordinates and others are not afraid of death, but think that unnecessary sacrifices should be avoided."

"As far as my subordinates know, the enemy's army has little food and grass left due to the civil strife." Speaking of this, Taidong only expressed his suggestion: "A hundred thousand people are besieged again, so the enemy must not last long."

"Is this what you think?" Li Jing asked back after hearing Huo Qubing and Taidong. After both of them claimed that they were, he did not make a decision immediately. Instead, he asked Taidong: "Staff Officer Tai, the strategy of trapping the enemy takes a long time, do you consider this?"

"Report to General, my subordinates know." Taidong held his fists again and replied decisively: "I think our army is now on the battlefield!"

"Haha~!" Somehow, when Li Jing heard Taidong's words, he suddenly burst into laughter, making others confused for a while.

After laughing, Li Jing looked at Zhu Cheng and Taidong with relief and said, "It seems that the vanguard position has gained something for you both."

Taidong's meaning is very clear, that is, when we arrive here, the Xia army is already fighting with the enemy, and there is no need to rush to travel - starting from crossing the river.

Then, Li Jing turned to Huo Qubing and asked, "General Huo, what do you think they are saying?"

"When I go back to the general, I will make a mistake. I hope the general will be punished." Huo Qubing knew that he had missed something when he heard Taidong's sentence "I am already in the battlefield." That is, they had arrived at their destination.

"Oh, what crime is cured? Isn't it just a discussion now? Where does the crime come from?" Li Jing saw Huo Qubing admit his mistake frankly, and waved indifferently: "General Huo has never been on the front line all the time, so it is normal for him to make mistakes. But they both gave Li a surprise."

"Haha~, yes." At this time, Liu Ji, who had been watching from the side without speaking, then smiled and walked forward and said, "Captain Zhu and Staff Tai can achieve such achievements and such gains, and such a future is limitless."

"The military advisor is acclaimed!" ~

"Okay, since you have made a decision, let's start!" Li Jing finally issued a military order.

As the order was issued, the entire Xia State army began to take action.

The entire Xia State army included militias, and the indigenous people had a total of more than 400,000 people. Of course, it was impossible to spend all of them for the enemy's mere 100,000 people.

Therefore, Li Jing asked the First Division, where the 11th Regiment of the original vanguard army, and the 30,000 servants to besiege the 100,000 remaining enemies, to siege 100,500 people, and the remaining troops rushed to the enemy city forty kilometers away - a trip of less than a day.

Of course, because he had already arrived at the destination, there was no "vanguard army". In order to take care of the 11th Regiment, Li Jing asked Di Qing to lead the 1st Division to station here, one to siege the enemy, the other to give the 11th Regiment a time to repair, and finally to use the 1st Division as a reserve force.

Although Li Jing had previously removed the "department" in order to train the cooperation between the entire army and changed to a command center composed of him, Di Qing, Huo Qubing and others to directly command the regiments, it is necessary to flexibly assign generals according to the situation of the war.

You can't just send five or six regiments to siege the enemy without appointing generals? If this is the case, then when the battle occurs, how should these five or six regiments unite against the enemy? Who should listen to whom? How can you fight if there is chaos? Therefore, there must be a general to command it.
