Chapter 288 Retreat (for the leader Array[] 4/10)
"Your army may still have the power to fight, and wait for a few days before it will be defeated. We are not afraid of death, but we are not willing to die here. It is better to take advantage of the fact that we can still leave now and keep a useful body for the time being, so we come to say goodbye to Your Majesty." After Bai Qi said that, he looked straight at Ran Min.
The two of them had intersected their eyes, and Bai Qi was not at all inferior. Instead, Ran Min's gaze gradually dimmed. Every word Bai Qi said just now hit him or something that he had noticed but didn't want to think too much, revealing the dilemma faced by the Wei army, exposing their weaknesses one by one, leaving him speechless.
Dong Run, Zhang Wen and other generals in the tent had already vaguely seen these things, but they did not dare to say anything about Ran Min's power. When they heard Bai Qi's words, they all looked gratefully. They all knew that Bai Qi and Li You were not afraid of death, but they just wanted to take this opportunity to persuade Ran Min to free the Wei army from the desperate situation. If Ran Min could follow his advice to change the current tactics, then the Wei army might have a chance to win.
"Young master, let's go. The Yan army will win this battle, but we are not without a chance. Now that the Yan army is fully equipped, Murong Jun and Murong Ke are gathered here, the north will inevitably be empty, and we still have two thousand elite cavalry, which may not be able to break out of the world." Seeing Ran Min silent for a while, Bai Qi walked directly to Li You and persuaded him.
"I hope your Majesty, please take care of me, and we will go there." Li You sighed inwardly and followed Bai Qi to the exit of the tent. This was the most exhausting task he had since received the tiger talisman.
Dong Run, Zhang Wen and others wanted to dissuade them, but were afraid of angering Ran Min. They could only watch the two of them slowly walk to the door of the big tent. As long as they walked out of the big tent, these two people might never come back, right?
"Let's go!" Ran Min, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke when Bai Qi lifted the curtain. He quickly walked to Bai Qi, grabbed his arm and said, "Please go slowly, two gentlemen."
"Your Majesty, what's the use of staying now? Your army still has tens of thousands of warriors, so I'm afraid there are no shortage of us?" Bai Qi's hand was still lifting the curtain, and he didn't seem to plan to return.
Anger suddenly surged on Ran Min's face. It was only a long time since no one dared to anger him like this. Li You, who was holding Tang Dao's hand, couldn't help but tighten, but Bai Qi still remained calm. Ran Min's face changed a few times, as if he was struggling violently inside, and the two of them froze at the door of the tent for a while.
Huh~ Ran Min let out a breath, put down the hand that held Bai Qi's arm, clasped his fists and said, "I have been negligent these days. Please let Mr. Gongsun move back and tell us how to defeat the Yan army?"
Seeing this scene, Dong Run and others could not believe their eyes. When did Ran Min, who had always been arrogant, learn to bow to others? But what was even more surprised was that Bai Qi still refused to retreat. His hand was still on the curtain and sighed, "The solution has been said long ago, but unfortunately Your Majesty refused to accept it."
It is true that Ran Min is arrogant, but how could Bai Qi, who annihilated the 1.65 million troops of the six Kanto countries, be humiliated easily? Although Ran Min now has the title of emperor, if it comes to true, the army he commands is not on the same level as the scale of Bai Qi's command back then. He has won many times in the war on a scale of just like this Yan and Wei War. If it weren't for Li You, he would have left the day when Ran Min decided to go north to Anxi.
"Bold! You dare." The generals in the tent finally reacted, and Liu Qun was the first to stand up and shouted.
"Stop!" Before he could finish his words, Ran Min suddenly turned around and forced his remaining words back with cold eyes. He stopped Liu Qun. Ran Min turned around again and became more respectful. "Mr. Gongsun, I was just rude. Please ask Mr. Gongsun to teach me!"
"Mr. Gongsun, since Your Majesty treats me with sincerity, let's go back for the time being." Li You felt that the time seemed to be almost done, and if he persisted, he would have to leave, so he helped persuade him.
"Yes, yes, Mr. Li said very well. Mr. Gongsun is not busy and left first. Please tell us how to win this battle." Bai Qi did not continue to persist this time, and followed Ran Min back to the middle of the tent.
"Liantai!" He pointed to Liantai's position again, "Murrong Ke does not intend to fight us immediately, and the terrain of Anxi is not good for us. It is beneficial or harmless to stay here. It is better to retreat to Liantai."
"But if Murong Ke chases Liantai and still avoids the decisive battle, how should we deal with it?" To be honest, Ran Min has been tortured by Murong Ke's tactics these days, "and the terrain of Liantai is always beneficial to me, but Murong Ke may not let us borrow the land."
"The smoke from the Yan army's cooking was gradually decreasing these days, which shows that they did not have much food." Bai Qi replied, "As long as we retreated to Lukou to defend the city, Murong Ke would have to catch up with us for a decisive battle. Most of the Yan army was cavalry, and field battles were more beneficial to them. If they were to attack the city, it would not be so easy. We needed to build equipment and prepare for a long-term siege. Neither the Yan army's food nor the empty situation in the north would allow them to delay the battle for a longer time."
"As for the geographical advantage of Liantai," Seeing everyone listening carefully, Bai Qi continued, "If you can defeat and lure the Yan army into the woods, you will be the best. If you can't, you can only take advantage of the opportunity of a decisive battle to rush into the Yan Central Army and kill Murong Ke!"
"In my opinion, when the decisive battle is over, Murong Ke may set up aside the central army to lure His descendants to attack, use heavy troops to consume His Majesty's fierce soldiers, and when the time is right, attack from both wings to determine the victory." Bai Qi has guessed Murong Ke's plan through these days. Is there any better way to face an opponent like Ran Min who is brave and brave enough to advance? "We can use the trick. Your Majesty leads heavy troops to face the enemy head-on, and we two ambush two elite cavalry behind the Yan army, and kill Murong Ke before the two wings of the Yan army attacked,"
After saying that, Bai Qi set up two armies formations on the map, explaining in detail how the troops should be allocated, what situations should be encountered, and how to deal with them. Li You watched silently from the side and consciously benefited a lot.
Ran Min, Dong Run and others nodded repeatedly. Although they had fought many battles before, their number was absolutely impossible to compare with Bai Qi, and their strategic and tactical abilities were extremely different. They were very immersive for a moment.
"Send the order and the troops are ready. They will retreat to Liantai before dawn tomorrow." Ran Min finally gave up his plan to fight the decisive battle with the Yan army in Anxi. (To be continued.)
