Chapter 757 The beginning of retreat and pursuit (tenth)

The Yan army's retreat was not hidden from the Zhao army.

Someone suggested whether to retreat while the night was dark. Lejian also carefully considered this choice, but in the end he did not adopt it.

The reason is actually very simple - Lejian knew very clearly that Zhao Kuo, the initiator of the strategy, had been waiting for the Yan army to retreat, and also knew that the Yan army would inevitably retreat.

Under such circumstances, if the Yan army retreated in the dark and once it was caught up by the Zhao army, there would be no chance of fighting back.

It is better to retreat openly during the day and perhaps you can still get some opportunities.

Since this was not a normal retreat, Lejian also issued an order very decisively: "If you pass the order, everything except the necessary equipment and rations will be abandoned on the spot!"

When we came, the Yan army marched normally, so we can naturally bring whatever we should bring.

But when he left, the Yan army retreated in a hurry. At this time, he wanted to take away all the jars and jars. That was too naive, or even too stupid.

In order to prevent the Zhao army from pursuing, Lejian has made attempts and efforts.

"Please, if Zhao Jun catches up, you should also know what the consequences will be."

Lejian said to a general of Yan State like this.

The name of this Yan State general is Le Zhan. He is a child who has accompanied Le Jian for decades since childhood. He is also one of the people Le Jian trusts most in this world.

Lejian left Le Zhan with 10,000 troops and horses to cut off the back. There was only one function of these 10,000 troops, which was to delay Zhao Kuo's attack at all costs and gain enough time for the retreat of the main force of the Yan army.

But one thing is very obvious that this army that was cut off should never see the main force again.

Le Zhan smiled and said to Lejian: "There are no one here, so it's not too much to call you brother?"

My brother went back and took good care of my mother, my newborn child and wife, and I would give me the rest of the time.”

When I heard this during the music, my expression couldn't help but become more complicated.

Le Zhan had a tragic fate. He had two wives and several concubines before he finally obtained his first son as his heir a few months ago.

But now, the music room has to put the music exhibition in this position that is broken.

Is it OK to let someone else come?

sure.

But if others really come, can they be defended and can they hold on to the end?

I feel it doesn't work.

If not, how could Lejian be willing to let his brothers die?

Le Jian gritted his teeth and said, "I'm sorry for you. Please guard it with peace of mind. I will definitely raise your wife, my mother and son!"

Le Zhan focused his focus and laughed: "What are you waiting for, brother?

Let's go, let's go!"

Lejian stopped talking, got on the chariot, waved his hand hard at Le Zhan, and led the main general guard around him to leave quickly.

Le Zhan stood there, looking at Le Jian's departure back and the rolling smoke and dust brought by the wheels, and suddenly laughed very relaxedly.

Zhao Kuo was also laughing, and even Zhao Kuo's smile became even more relaxed.

"Okay, I'll send an order to cross the river and attack the Yan army's camp first!"

Lian Po stood beside Zhao Kuo. At this moment, Lian Po's face had returned to calm, but his heart was still as if it was a huge wave.

Since the entire plan has been successful, Zhao Kuo naturally had no need to hide it and told Lian Po all the situation.

When Lian Po heard Zhao Kuo’s plan, his first reaction was: “That’s so simple?”

Then there was the second reaction: "Why could I not think of it?"

In response to this, Zhao Kuo smiled: "How many wars have happened throughout history?

It is no exaggeration to say that as long as it is a strategy we have thought of, the ancients have thought of, or even used it.

So what we need to do is not to worry and be afraid that the enemy will guess our strategy, but to use the simplest and most effective strategy to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop!”

To put it bluntly, Zhao Kuo’s overall plan for the war this time was both a conspiracy and an open conspiracy.

When the main force of the Yan army was attracted by Zhao Kuo's main force and gave Li Mu's troops an unexpected opportunity, then this was a conspiracy.

When the main force of the Yan army was not attracted by Zhao Kuo's main force, but instead divided into two groups to resist Zhao Kuo and Li Mu, this became an open conspiracy.

Whether it was a conspiracy or an open conspiracy, Zhao Kuo felt that he had won.

There are advantages in terms of number of troops, advantages in terms of equipment, and advantages in terms of training and morale. The two commanders leading the troops are far better than the opponent's commander.

To put it bluntly, as long as Zhao Kuo and Li Mu don’t give it up on purpose, they really don’t know how to lose! With Zhao Kuo’s order, countless Zhao troops immediately emerged and launched an attack on the Yan army camp.

This is also a very safe way to play.

Of course, anyone can think of pursuing the main force of the Yan army directly, but what if Le Cheng ambushed a surprise soldier in the Yan army camp?

By that time, Zhao Kuo may be the one who was counter-killed.

At the moment, victory is in sight, Zhao Kuo has no desire to take risks at all, but wants to win this game steadily.

In a battlefield confrontation, the strong side must avoid any risk that may lead to failure. Only the weak side has to take risks in order to win.

This is why many battles where the weak defeat the strong are so thrilling, they are forced to do so.

Lian Po looked at all this silently, but his thoughts were silently turning in his mind: "It seems that Pingyang Jun’s plan for Wu Xinjun this time is probably going to fail."

The reason is nothing else. Zhao Kuo won, and he won very simply! As for some delays in the process, it was only one or two months, and it was not a big deal.

Lian Po shook his head in slightest.

Sure enough, Wu Xinjun was still the familiar Wu Xinjun! Lian Po glanced at Zhao Kuo and found that Zhao Kuo's face was as calm as ever.

Perhaps, this is the real general's style.

Under the gaze of Lian Po and Zhao Kuo, countless Zhao soldiers rushed into the camp with the rain of arrows from the Yan army.

Zhao Kuo exclaimed, a little surprised: "Is the resistance of the Yan people so weak?"

Zhao Kuo thought that although this person, Lejian, had relatively weak command ability, he must still have the most basic command knowledge.

Lejian will definitely leave a relatively powerful force to stop Zhao Kuo in order to achieve the result of allowing the main force to escape in time.

But the problem is that at present, the resistance level of Yan Army camp is just like a few kittens, which is far from what Zhao Kuo expected.

What's going on?

At this moment, Xu Li appeared out of breath, with a joyful smile on his face.

"Master, Yan army, Yan army surrender!"
