Chapter 67 Raise the world and save me (3)

Mingyue of the Great Song Dynasty http://www./0_1/Chapter 67: Raise the world and save me (three)

"So, what should we do?"

It took a long time before Wang Feng's question broke the silence.

"retreat!"

"Go with Wancheng's troops and horses, make plans!"

"The little Kunyang is completely in danger! What's more, there are only more than 10,000 people in the city. Facing 400,000 elite soldiers, they completely hit the stone with eggs!"

The generals in the conference hall started to shout, and no matter what they were saying, there was only one core opinion - to give up Kunyang and join the army in Wancheng.

Listening to the generals in the hall expressing their opinions, Wang Feng nodded in detail.

He had already had the same idea in his heart, just because he was worried that as the main general, he would rashly propose to retreat, which would damage his prestige. But with the force in Wancheng, he would have to compete with the 400,000 army, Wang Feng felt that this was simply crazy!

Now that all the generals are willing to retreat, Wang Feng can go with the flow and announce his withdrawal without any shame.

"Since everyone thinks so, then..."

"etc!"

Wang Feng was about to announce the order to retreat, but was suddenly interrupted by a young voice.

"Liu Xiu! What do you think?" Wang Feng frowned and looked at this annoying young boy.

"The Duke of Chengguo, his subordinates thought that the views of all his colleagues were really wrong. If we withdraw our troops, we will be doomed. But there is still a glimmer of hope to stay in Kunyang."

"Hu... let's talk about it!" Wang Feng snorted coldly, suppressing the blurted "Nonsense" sentence.

Liu Xiu stood up high and looked around the generals around him, and found that their eyes were like Wang Feng, with a light of dissatisfaction flashing.

This is natural. No matter who it is, he will definitely lose confidence when thinking of such a huge gap in strength.

Even Liu Xiu himself also had huge worries in his heart.

But he could not show this worry even a slightest bit on his face, because he wanted to be the only person in Kunyang City who still holds confidence.

Even if this confidence is just his disguise.

"You all said you want to retreat, but I don't know where we can retreat?" Liu Xiu cleared his throat: "Is Wancheng?"

"Wancheng is still under the siege of the troops led by the Dasikong. Although there are 50,000 troops outside the city, the defenders in the city rely on the city wall and have been defending it so far, and they can only surround the city outside and consume the food and grass in the city. Can we retreat to Wancheng and fly over the city wall and capture Wancheng?"

Liu Xiu looked around everyone: "Kunyang is the gateway to the north of Wancheng. When we retreat to Wancheng, it means giving the gateway to the Xinmang army. Next, they will never stop at all, but will continue to drive straight into Wancheng. At that time, even if we met under Wancheng and even concentrated the troops of the other cities, they were still far less than the Xinmang army. At that time, we had no chance to hold on!"

"Only when we stick to Kunyang, nail it here like a nail, and nail the army of Xinmang can we buy time for the Grand Sikong of Wancheng and capture Wancheng! Once Wancheng is captured by us, not only will the Nanyang county be completely connected, but the enemy troops coming to the goal of rescue will also have a sharp drop in morale!"

Liu Xiu punched the wall behind him with a punch: "Kunyang must be defended! Only by defending Kunyang can we have a glimmer of hope, otherwise, it will be wiped out!"

"But, the number of people is so different, how should we defend it!" A side general stared at Liu Xiu with a fierce look: "More than 10,000 people to 400,000 people, Kunyang is such a small city! Ten days... No, within three days, they can break through this city!"

"Three days?" Liu Xiu sneered: "Are you all so confident about yourself? It's just a 40-fold gap in military strength. We still have a city garrison. Not to mention three days, even one month or two months is no problem!"

"Liu Xiu, don't overstate the words!" Another stared at Liu Xiu with a gloomy face.

"Can you beat it?" Liu Xiu smiled at the sky: "After the battle between Huang Chunshui, my brother Liu Yan and I defeated Wang Mu's 100,000 troops with two thousand soldiers. Have you forgotten that you have forgotten? With a 50-fold gap in force, we can win the battle on the ground, let alone now we are defending the city?"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the generals present fell into silence.

Some of them came from the Green Forest Army in Xinshi, some from the Pinglin Army and the Xiajiang Army. But no matter who they were, they were on the battlefield of Huang Chunshui that day.

When they led their troops into Wang Mu's camp, the camp was already in complete chaos. What they did was to massacre and chase the Xinmang Army that had completely lost its fighting spirit. What really determined the situation was the two thousand Chongling Army.

Liu Xiu said that the two thousand people defeated 100,000 people is really true.

The truth that Liu Xiu said just now is indeed true. If he really gave up Kunyang and went to the city of Wancheng, there would be 400,000 troops outside the city, and there would be defenders inside the city. Under the attack on both sides, he would undoubtedly be defeated.

But human instincts are ultimately timid. Even if you know the consequences of the future clearly, joining the army with the large army can still bring a sense of psychological comfort. No matter how short it is, even if it is illusory.

This is what is called drinking poison to quench thirst.

"The following words have been finished." Liu Xiu looked at the other generals and lowered his heads and pondered. Even Wang Feng did not immediately refute and sat down again.

"If Taichang is a general, it is not unreasonable..." A side general coughed twice: "If Yu Wancheng meets, there may be a risk of being attacked inside and outside, but if he evacuated Wancheng..."

"Escape from Wancheng? Where to go? Is the Green Forest Mountain in Xinshi?" Liu Xiu recognized that the general was from Xinshi's headquarters and snorted coldly: "Most of the military rations in Xinshi have been transported to Wancheng. Now we have withdrawn to Green Forest Mountain, and we have no time to transport them away with the baggage. Our army has been absorbing refugees before, and with surrender, and now the troops in Nanyang County have exceeded 100,000. How long can these 100,000 people last on Green Forest Mountain? Besides... Since the battle of Huang Chunshui, we have almost captured the entire Nanyang County, only this Wancheng is left. If we give up at this time, it would be a waste of all our efforts!!"

At the end of the day, Liu Xiu was already stern.

The face turned gray and opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.

"Chengguo Shanggong, please make decisions on our army's next actions." After Liu Xiu said that, he bowed to Wang Feng, waiting for his answer.

"This..." Wang Feng pondered, and was moved by Liu Xiu's heart. Even though he hated this kid, every word he said was indeed reasonable. At this time, it seemed that he was sticking to Kunyang and waiting for Wancheng to come for assistance before coming to help after it was captured.

If these 400,000 people were really defeated, Wang Mang would really have no available troops. By then, he would have led his troops north to capture Chang'an, and half of the world would have fallen into his hands. If the Red Eyebrow Army in Hebei took the lead...

However, if you can't conquer the Kunyang City to the death, if you can't conquer Wancheng for a long time, you will definitely die.

Liu Xiu stared at Wang Feng's closed lips, waiting for him to make the final decision.

Finally, he saw Wang Feng open his mouth.

Should I escape or guard?

"Report!"

Just as Wang Feng was about to speak, a messenger rushed in with an expression of panic: "Shang Gong of Chengguo, the enemy troops in the north assigned a cavalry as the vanguard yesterday and came towards Kunyang. Now it is only one day away from Kunyang!"
Chapter completed!
