[Three Kingdoms] Xinghan

Ji Ling was still unable to make a decision.

No matter which path he chooses, it will undoubtedly be extremely painful for him.

On the side, Zhang Xun's mentality was different from Ji Ling's.

For Zhang Xun, retreating at this moment, as a lieutenant general, will not suffer much punishment.

With Ji Ling on top, no one would think of Zhang Xun's name when this matter was brought up in the future.

But if they forcefully attack Lujiang, the entire army will be wiped out in the end.

Even if he is a lieutenant general, he will definitely not end well.

"General Ji."

After reading this, Zhang Xun stepped forward and said: "You should quickly order to retreat. It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. After we go to Jiujiang to rest, it will not be too late for us to attack Lujiang again!"

Ji Ling glanced at the other party, but said nothing.

Are you really going back like this...

"General Ji!" Zhang Xun urged: "You can't hesitate any longer! Morale is dropping all the time. If the King of Changsha leads his troops to rush out, he will be unable to leave even if he wants to!"

Ji Ling snorted, thinking that it would be better if King Changsha rushed out now, so he wouldn't have to worry about it.

He naturally knew what his lieutenant was thinking.

Right now is not the time to settle accounts with the other party. The current situation requires two people to tide over the difficulties together.If you want revenge in the future, you will also need Zhang Xun's help.

After thinking twice, Ji Ling finally gave the order: "Withdraw!"

The army began to change direction and moved towards Jiujiang.

Although he was extremely unwilling, Ji Ling still breathed a sigh of relief when the decision was made.

He secretly swore in his heart: King Changsha, I will never forget the shame of today!Just wait, soon I will make a comeback and capture Lujiang!

Ji Ling was thinking about how to raise food and grass again after arriving in Jiujiang, how to report this matter to the lord, and how to gather an army to attack again.

At this time, a spy hurriedly came to report: "General! The Lujiang cavalry chased them out, and they are about a few miles behind us. It looks like there are five thousand cavalry!"

"what!"

When Ji Ling and Zhang Xun heard about this, they immediately ordered the whole army to stop and stand on guard, and at the same time rode to the rear of the army.

Sure enough, the Lujiang cavalry came after them!

Ji Ling clenched his weapon and glared.

Since the king of Changsha insisted on fighting to the death with him, he had to fight himself!

However, Ji Ling, who had the idea of ​​dying together, soon became confused.

After his own army stopped and stood in formation, the cavalry of Lujiang County also stopped.

The two sides looked at each other across a distance that was difficult for bows and arrows to shoot.

Ji Ling was confused: "What are they doing?"

He felt more and more that today's battle was full of weirdness.

Before that, his army and the dozen or so cavalry of Changsha King turned a blind eye to each other.Now it is his army, facing each other's cavalry two by two, but not fighting.

With the previous painful lesson, Ji Ling will never treat King Changsha as a brave and foolish kid again.

There must be some conspiracy!

As a result, I waited in place for half an hour, but nothing happened.

Ji Ling frowned, it's not a problem to be so stiff.

The opponent can continuously obtain food and grass from the Lujiang River, and his own army will be hungry.

After some deep thinking, Ji Ling decided to keep the whole army on alert and march slowly towards Jiujiang without changing the queue.

And the moment he gave this order, he suddenly realized the viciousness of what King Changsha did!

"The King of Changsha is young, and he was born in the palace, so he has never had any experience in field battles." Ji Ling gritted his teeth and said, "How could he have such a vicious mind? Could it be that he was born with it?"

Zhang Xun also reacted, with a bitter expression on his face: "We need to be on guard against his cavalry at all times, and we don't dare to be careless. But they can sit leisurely on the horse and always maintain a lot of energy. If we advance regardless, They will launch an attack, bite off a piece of our flesh, and retreat quickly. And if we have been highly tense and on guard at any time, I am afraid that we will be exhausted in less than half of the journey, and at that time the King of Changsha will lead his troops to rush over..."

Compared with the current situation, Ji Ling was most confused.

Today's battle is completely different from the battles he has fought in the past. He can't understand where the King of Changsha learned it: "I have never seen such a technique in military books. If it is vicious, I heard that the eunuchs in the palace are very cruel." Everyone has thoughts like poisonous snakes, could it be possible that Changsha King is learning and applying this viciousness to the art of war?"

"General." Zhang Xun suggested: "Why don't we retreat alternately."

"We must not do this." Ji Ling shook his head immediately, pointing out the problem: "Once alternate retreats are adopted, the tail troops will inevitably fall into their hands. Our morale is already very low. We will be captured, and the morale of the whole army will be constantly worn down, and it won't be long before we don't have any morale anymore."

Zhang Xun also agreed with Ji Ling's remarks.

Soon, he made another suggestion: "General, if we stop to fight them head-on, they will certainly not fight. But we can also send all the cavalry to attack them proactively!"

Ji Ling had thought of this way a long time ago.However, as long as he thinks about the heroism of the young general in white robe just now——

His own arrow feathers were forcibly split from the middle by the opponent!

Ji Ling asked himself, if any soldier under his command who knew how to shoot arrows shot at him like this, he would not be able to split the arrow in the middle.

At that time, he was using an iron bow, and he used all his strength.

The young general in white robe didn't even have the slightest idea of ​​dodging, so he chose this method.

Obviously, from the opponent's point of view, splitting one's own arrow is a piece of cake.

Morale was already low.

At this moment, if cavalry is sent to take the initiative to attack, it will inevitably further reduce the morale of these cavalry.

If the young general in white robe charged forward with an invincible aura, if he didn't go in person, Ji Ling doubted that his cavalry would surrender in an instant.

"The only solution is now." Ji Ling squinted his eyes: "The only option is to gamble."

Zhang Xun was slightly stunned, and hurriedly asked: "How does the general plan to bet?"

Ji Ling knew that this plan was extremely risky, but he was unwilling to sit still, so he made up his mind and said: "The young man who bet on Changsha King is passionate, and when he is about to win, he can't hold back."

Five miles away from the tail of Ji Ling's army.

Riding a horse, Ling Han sometimes talked about the customs of Lujiang with Zhou Yu, and sometimes talked about the charm of Changshan with Zhao Yun, and led the cavalry slowly behind the enemy.

Night fell gradually.

Yang Zhen reminded: "Your Highness, Ji Lingjun has stopped."

After a pause, he asked curiously, "Both the truck and the warehouse were burned once. I wonder how many usable tents they have left?"

"It's time to start resting." Ling Han looked around for a moment, then thought: "According to common sense, they have been on guard all day, and night is the best time to attack the camp. But..."

Zhou Yu smiled and said, "Your Highness suspects that Ji Ling will pretend to rest, but actually let the soldiers lie in ambush in advance?"

"That's right." Ling Han nodded: "If Ji Ling wants to turn around the predicament, this is almost his only chance."

"But," Yang Zhen said worriedly, "in case Ji Ling really ordered the soldiers to rest, we dare not attack. When they recover their spirits the next day, wouldn't it be a waste of our chasing them all day?"

"This is a gamble." Ling Han said with a smile: "In Ji Ling's view, this is a gamble that bets on the victory or defeat of the entire war."

"And we, on the contrary, can take advantage of this."

After hearing what King Changsha said, Zhou Yu said thoughtfully: "The psychology of a gambler is nothing more than a small gain. If both parties go to sleep, they will continue today's process tomorrow. This is not what Ji Ling hopes. Ordinary marching He can reach Jiujiang in two days. But in this situation, under his precautions, the army is slow, and it may not be enough for three days. Ji Ling's food and grass can't last for three days. If we launch an attack on the third day, he must Undoubtedly defeated."

"Gong Jin is the one who knows me." Ling Han said with a smile: "So I bet that he won't sleep. We will order the army to rest tonight, and attack again at dawn!"

"Your Highness." Zhou Yu suggested aloud, "Yu thinks we can launch an attack in the second half of the night."

He slowly explained: "If Ji Ling really lays an ambush, the soldiers will definitely be exhausted in the middle of the night. Even if they set up an ambush, they may not be our opponents. Seeing that we have no intention of attacking at night, it is very likely that the soldiers will be killed. Go back and rest. At that time, we will lead the army to rush over, even if there is an army of [-], we will not have any ability to resist."

What was not said was that even if Ji Ling gambled another way, he would not miss the opportunity.

Ling Han thought for a moment, and agreed to this suggestion.

Zhou Yu's plan is indeed more comprehensive.

late at night.

Ji Ling's brain was highly tense, sitting in the tent and waiting for the other party's night attack.

With every minute that passed, the spirit of the soldiers became worse, and Ji Ling became more anxious.

If the King of Changsha had no plans to attack at night at all.

Then, the already exhausted army, after such a night of tossing, will definitely not have any combat power left in the morning.

At that time, as long as the king of Changsha is not blind, he will definitely launch an attack.

And I am the chief culprit of this defeat.

Suddenly, someone opened the tent.

It is his confidant.

Ji Ling cheered up, and quickly asked, "Are you here?"

The confidant did not answer, but shook his head heavily.

The hope in Ji Ling's eyes suddenly turned into despair.

"General."

The confidant asked: "What should we do now?"

"No more ambushes."

While saying this, Ji Ling's tense body instantly relaxed.

An hour, two hours... After a few hours, not only the morale of his subordinates was dropping, but so was Ji Ling himself.

At the moment the other party shook his head, he only felt that the last bit of strength in his body was also drained.

Ji Ling said softly: "Let the brothers have a good rest, it's because the general's skills are not as good as others."

Once this order was issued, the exhausted army soon fell into sleep.

Ji Ling himself couldn't fall asleep.He got out of the tent and looked up at the stars in the sky.

He searched hard, as if this was the only important thing right now, and he hoped to find the brightest one among them.

At this time, Ji Ling faintly heard some kind of voice.

After a while, flames appeared in the field of vision.

He realized that the other party really started to launch a night attack.

Ji Ling knew that, as the commander in chief, he should immediately mobilize the whole army to make the last resistance.

But he knew very well that this kind of resistance didn't make much sense.

It can indeed cause a little loss of troops to King Changsha, and relieve his anger.

But this loss... If the other party wants, they can easily capture more soldiers.

It's better to let them fall asleep, maybe King Changsha won't kill them.

He is no match for King Changsha, and neither is his lord.

"It is said that the King of Changsha is the proof that the destiny is still favoring the great man."

Ji Ling smiled wryly: "Before, I didn't believe it. I just thought it was the momentum created by the loyal but pedantic people for the King of Changsha to win people's hearts."

"But now, the general believes it."
