"What!?"
Yao Yizhong has just received a report that a Han Army fleet has appeared in the Yellow River. The scale is estimated to be between 600 and 700. All of them are large ships equipped with ferocious long-range attack instruments such as bed crossbows.
Today, the Qiang army has just broken through the second line of defense of the Han Army camp. It is only about three miles away from Liu Yan's Chinese army. The Han Army appears on the Yellow River, which makes Yao Yizhong very tangled.
Since the date of the general offensive, the Qiang troops have attacked for three days and paid more than 60000 casualties. They are very close to their operational objectives.
"You can't withdraw!"
"Yes, we are about to defeat the enemy. If we attack again, we can capture Liu Yan alive or alive!"
"Lord, we have paid such a heavy price, we can't retreat!"
Yao Yizhong didn't say he wanted to withdraw, but he mentioned earlier that once the Han fleet appeared on the Yellow River, it would withdraw. Only then did the leaders of Qiang tribes and the generals of Shijie Zhao who learned the news come to dissuade him.
The situation on the main battlefield was very good for the Qiang troops. Although the peripheral battlefield was tragic, it finally blocked the Han troops from both sides.
If you count the external blocking forces, Yao Yizhong has lost more than 140000 troops, of which 70000 were killed, and the rest lost their combat effectiveness because of disability or injury.
The wounded and the dead will be split in half, mainly because the Qiang nationality is the offensive side. If their attack fails, they must retreat. In that case, of course, the wounded soldiers will be left behind and their heads will be cut off by the Han army.
"Two days!" Facing the excited crowd, Yao Yizhong raised his hand and stretched out two fingers: "after that, no matter how close to Liu Yan, I will order the withdrawal."
What else did the noisy people want to say? Seeing Yao Yizhong's firm expression on his face, he looked at each other on the ground, and no one spoke again.
Yao Yizhong looked at the people who had left, then looked at his fifth son Yao Xiang and said, "get ready and follow the women, children, old and weak to the North Bank of the Yellow River."
Yao Xiang, who was already 14 years old, said in surprise, "father, don't you have to do this? Isn't he about to attack the central camp of the Han Army and will soon kill or capture Liu Yan?"
"Prudence is always an indispensable mentality, because it is the Yao family that will always have prosperity." Yao Yizhong has a large number of children. In his opinion, several of Yao Xiang's brothers are not enough to entrust important tasks. The other children are too young. This time, I brought Yao Xiang who can be brought up. He went over and pressed Yao Xiang's shoulders with both hands. He said seriously, "don't lose your heart of caution before you really win or lose in any war. Do you hear clearly?"
Yao Xiang nodded as if he knew something.
When the father and son were warm, the fighting on the battlefield continued. The Qiang army carried out day and night for three consecutive days. From the perspective of the situation, the Han army was at an absolute disadvantage, but the situation of the Qiang army, which paid great casualties, could not be better.
Zhang raccoon is one of the many miscellaneous generals in the state of Zhao in Shijie. He once worked under kui'an as a general in command of a partial division, and made a lot of military achievements in attacking Yuzhou in the south.
Kui'an, a general of the state of Zhao in Shijie, died on his couch in the sixth year of Jianwu (A.D. 340). The generals of his department were split by Shi Hu. For example, Zhang raccoon was assigned to Yao Yizhong.
This Jinan County War is the most difficult and bloody battle Zhang raccoon has ever fought. Only a battlefield in Luoyin has suffered more than 100000 casualties in less than a month. If you count the losses of the Han Army, there are 167000. However, the cruelty of the war has not been reduced because of a large number of casualties, but has become more and more cruel.
"Rush again at that position!" The position of Zhang Raccoon's finger is where part of the wooden fence was burned: "rush up, either kill in or die there!"
Naturally, there will be heralds who will go down and issue orders. The team receiving the task will no longer shout. They are numb from officers to soldiers.
That is, Yao Yizhong, as the commander in chief, fought with the most Qiang people. Otherwise, the casualties would be so heavy that he should have collapsed or stopped the war.
Who made Yao Yizhong the general leader of the Qiang nationality, and who made him send more Qiang soldiers behind than zahu or Jin people, which largely offset the resentment of zahu and Jin people, so that the war can continue.
The north side of the Han Army camp has been broken through to the last line of defense, but the other directions are not like that, resulting in a large area of the battlefield.
If Yao Yizhong looked down from a high altitude and saw that the Han Army controlled area on the battlefield was like a Wanyue, he would definitely be scared out of a cold sweat, and he would not hesitate to leave the troops to withdraw. Unfortunately, Yao Yizhong can't fly. What he can see is only part, not the whole army.
The situation seems extremely unfavorable to the Han army. After all, the North has been attacked to the last line of defense. What is the mood of Liu Yan and the senior management of the Han army now?
"No matter how slow it is, Yao Yizhong should know that our fleet appears in the Yellow River." Liu Yan was a little nervous no matter how he looked. It was not because the enemy was about to kill the Chinese army, it was others. He looked around and said, "will Yao Yizhong withdraw immediately or continue to attack?"
The rest, whether scribes or generals, had no better expression on their faces.
"Sir, it's still too risky?" Ji Chang was implored by many people privately, so he had to advise again: "even if you don't break through, you... Still move back?"
Sang Yu then said, "if you want Yao Yizhong to continue his attack, it's better for you to step back with the flag, creating an illusion that we can't hold on, which will make Yao Yizhong more determined to attack."
They are not afraid of losing the defense line. The previous defense lines create an illusion that they can't hold on, and even sacrifice at least 2000 troops in order to make the illusion look realistic.
In the barracks of the Han Army, there were ambushes in many camps. Ji Chang and others couldn't figure out what was going on with the new ones, but the soldiers really existed. It is precisely because they have at least 16000 elite, which makes them feel that the defense line cannot be lost. In addition, the peripheral reinforcements do not lose their spirit, but the flying pigeons send a message to slow down the attack. Generally speaking, everything is under control.
Liu Yan thought a little. Can his retreat really create a more real illusion and attract Yao Yizhong to continue the attack? He nodded and said, "all right.", After a moment of silence, he said, "you go down to the troops to appease the soldiers, but don't let the troops who don't know the truth really make an uproar."
Yao Yizhong, who has been wavering in hesitation, thinks about a lot of details and always feels strange, but he has not been able to catch the flash of inspiration. Half way through his thinking, someone came to report that it was the flag of the Han Army that retreated, which made him involuntarily speed up his heart.

I haven't taken my children out for a long time. I took my children out during the day. I was scheduled to go home at six and start coding. As a result, the road is still blocked.
I change my wife to drive on the way. The honor is to use mobile phone code words. I can only code so many. I'm really sorry.
