Chapter 1648: Retreat with all your body
At the same time, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry behind Hua Xiong was also ready to charge. As for defense against long-range things, they no longer needed them. They just needed to play the hand-to-hand combat they were best at.
As all the Western Liang cavalry lifted their spears and charged, the Xiongnu cavalry led by Kun Wan on the opposite side felt a powerful force crushing them, and could not help but cast a shadow on their hearts.
Zhou Yu turned his head and gave Sun Ce a color. Sun Ce understood and activated the monarch's talent. In an instant, all the generals' legion talents were blessed to a considerable extent. The momentum of the entire legion couldn't help but rise by 30%. In an instant, Zhou Yu captured Kun Wan's hesitation on the opposite side.
"Zichuan, will we do it?" Zhou Yu saw this scene, his mouth slightly raised. When the other general hesitated, it means there is an opportunity, but it also means some hint.
"I'm a little hesitant. Our strengths and weaknesses are obvious, but if you want to win, how sure are you?" Chen Xi hesitated and asked.
"In the true sense, you have a 10% chance of winning, and there is a 70% chance of winning, and there is a 20% chance of winning," Zhou Yu stopped talking.
Chen Xi was actually a little hesitant. In this situation, it would be fine if he won, but he would lose money if he tied. If he really defeated, it would be bad. If he really defeated in such a life-threatening situation, he would probably not even be able to escape.
The Western Liang Iron Cavalry had to eat the 1,000 Xiongnu Imperial Guards who were constantly replenishing troops, and then withstand the 15,000 Xiongnu Imperial Cavalry, but in this way, Zhang Xiu was basically equivalent to the Kongren and Hua Xiong paddling. Ma Chao and Zhang He's Imperial Cavalry were indeed good, but the Xiongnu Imperial Cavalry was not a vegetarian. In this way, they really didn't have any advantage in military strength.
To be precise, their advantage lies in the fact that they have many generals and flexible dispatch. However, in the current situation, once the Northern Huns take action, they may not have much idea of retaining their troops. In that case, even under the command of Zhou Yu, they will inevitably be passive.
"Our goal has been achieved, and it is not good for us to waste troops now." Chen Xi said after thinking for a while.
The nearly 200,000 Zahu alone was a trouble for them. Once they were really in a hurry, the Northern Huns would invest their own troops and Zahu's troops regardless of the loss, which would be a trouble for the Han army. It would be meaningless to fight a worthless war.
"Then do you mean we will retreat now?" Zhou Yu had nothing to say about Chen Xi's proposal, and hesitated whether to take action. He saw it very clearly that this battle was of little significance and value from the perspective of the country, but it was different from his perspective.
"If you don't retreat now, do you have to make a harsh word before leaving? Don't say you don't know that our reinforcements are coming. The Northern Huns will definitely have reinforcements. At most, the difference is that they are not as fast as us, but when they really fight, sometimes the morale changes after the reinforcements arrive, which is enough to deflect the situation." Chen Xi rolled his eyes and said.
"Well, what you said makes sense." Zhou Yu nodded.
To be honest, according to Zhou Yu's estimate, the Xiongnu reinforcements will definitely come in another quarter to two quarters of an hour. Before, Zhao Yun's light beam was enough to make the opponent abandon half of his troops and rushed over with only the part that the legion talent could cover. The accumulated distance before was probably one or two quarters of an hour to smooth it out.
This is also the origin of Zhou Yu's failure of 20% and his winning rate of 10%. However, the reason why he proposed a battle here is to test Chen Xi's sensitivity.
To be honest, the strength shown by Liu Bei's army has put Zhou Yu in great pressure now, and now it is an opportunity. Not to mention anything else, it is easy to make the military soul army and the White Horse Congyi suffer heavy losses.
After all, for Zhou Yu, the group of people who are currently coming, it is a pity for Zhou Yu to lose except for the elites in Danyang. For Jiangdong, another group of soldiers can be recruited in seconds.
Although Chen Xi's answer was not the standard answer that Zhou Yu wanted him to retreat, to a certain extent, it was indeed essentially cutting off Zhou Yu's idea.
However, this is just an idea. If Zhou Yu really wants to do this in the national war, he will be able to get over it, but Sun Ce will never be able to get through it. Even if Sun Ce knows that Zhou Yu does this, even if the two of them are brothers, they will inevitably make a big fuss.
Even Zhou Yu could imagine that Sun Ce took him to apologize to Liu Bei. Whether Sun Ce said he was honest or stupid, he couldn't stand this kind of thing. Civil war was a civil war, but if he wanted to win the national war, Sun Ce would rather choose to fail!
"Then let's withdraw?" Zhou Yu thought for a while and said.
"Retreat, there is no need to force the Northern Xiongnu. I can't tell the meaning at all, let alone our estimates are deviated." Chen Xi turned his head helplessly to look at Sun Ce, then turned around and said, "Who, oh, Li Tiao, go and communicate, we are going to withdraw."
"Don't you do it?" Li Tiao asked. He was now a senior general, with outstanding combat power and war experience, and he could be a general and a school student.
"No need, our strategic intention has been achieved, and the meaning of exhaustion is not very great." Chen Xi shook his head and said, "Continue to play, the winning rate is very low, and the probability of peace and loss is so high. It is better to wait until Cao Cao and Liu Bei arrive before taking action. It is absolutely super luxurious.
Although Li Tiao did not understand very much, he did not refuse. He rode his horse forward to the place opposite the other side with an arrow and stopped, "Stop the battle today, and fight again next day!"
After saying that, Li Tiaoli ignored the reaction of the Huns on the opposite side and turned his head to leave. Hua Xiong frowned slightly when he heard this, gestured to behead him in the direction of Kun Wan opposite, and immediately turned around and left.
Hua Xiong is not a fool either. After experiencing too many wars, he knows very well what situations are easy to fight and what situations are difficult to fight. Now it is a very difficult situation.
Although the Dingling and the Huns on the opposite side were caused by Zhao Yun's forced force, Chen Xi and Zhou Yu easily escaped from the sky, it may not necessarily hurt morale significantly. It is true that the attitude of the gods in the face of Zhao Yun was really hurt, but blocking this terrible attack was no less than injecting a needle to the Huns and the Dingling people.
At least as morale declined, their self-confidence also increased to a large extent. Under this confidence, as long as there is an opportunity, it will be enough to suddenly recover their morale. It would be absolutely not easy to really force the Northern Huns to be forced to fight against them.
This is also what Zhou Yu and Chen Xi hesitated the most. The current situation is that the soldiers of the Northern Huns are weak and their hearts are still weak. If they really fight, Zhou Yu and Chen Xi are not very confident.
Although the Northern Huns were lined up in a row, Kun Wan and Tujin Rongluo were not very confident in their hearts if they really wanted to fight with the Han army.
None of the generals of the Northern Huns and Dingling people could guarantee the state of their soldiers after the battle. They might have had a great fortune. After taking action, their confidence became more and more courageous. Perhaps after taking action, their previous fear was suddenly detonated and their morale dropped to freezing point.
Both situations have certain possibilities. Whether it is Tu Jin Rongluo or Kun Wan, after the general formation was pulled away, his heart calmed down.
Especially after Hua Xiong completed the troops instantly, Kun Wan had no intention of concealing his hesitation. However, unlike the Han army, Kun Wan's slogan was to avenge his tribe members. In this situation, he spoke up to give up the pursuit, so he could not sit firmly in the position of the Right Xian King.
Now that Li Tiao gave a step, Kun Wan naturally did not answer, but staying silent in this case was already a default.
Zhou Yu and Chen Xi looked at each other and began to line up and retreat without seeing any confusion. Kun Wan stopped in place and watched Zhou Yu slowly retreat without attacking. After evacuating for a mile, Zhou Yu and Chen Xi immediately turned around and retreated to the southwest.
"Why should we retreat southwest?" Sun Ce asked Zhou Yu while retreating.
"Turn directly south, you will encounter Xiongnu reinforcements within a quarter of an hour. At that time, we had not withdrawn from the other party's observation range, and even the Xiongnu reinforcements only needed a sword light to connect. Since we wanted to retreat, it would be better to avoid these troubles." Chen Xi answered on behalf of Zhou Yu.
Sun Ce raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu nodded silently, saying that's it. Sun Ce asked again, "We have so many people, we can directly activate the talent of the army, and we should be able to decide the winner in an instant. What's more, you and Gongjin both have the ability to create talent of the army. With my monarch's talent, all soldiers are equivalent to three talents."
"This is a fact, but just after Gongjin asked you to get the talent of a monarch, I tried it with him. Ordinary soldiers use this method to bless you very much to lose themselves." Chen Xi smiled bitterly and said helplessly.
Zhou Yu also nodded from the side. He asked Sun Ce to open up the monarch's talent before, and then he discovered this problem. The loss was not large after the increase of a single talent by 30%, but after adding two, the loss was amazing.
The talent of the legion from the same root, which is depleted from the same source, is different from the duration of its own. Sun Ce's monarchy's talent stimulates the potential of the soldiers themselves. Otherwise, Sun Ce's monarchy's talent would not be universal to everyone.
"Gongjin, can't you achieve it with your fighter opportunity?" Sun Ce asked immediately.
"Yes, but there is no need." Zhou Yu shook his head and said, "Your monarch talent must be activated before opening the legion talent, and directly bless all the legion talents in the battlefield. My legion talent and his legion talent are all about the emotions of the entire army. Do you know what it means?"
Sun Ce shook his head, and Zhou Yu continued to explain with a long time ago, "That is to say, if your legion talent is not available, the others will not have a 30% increase. Once your legion talent is activated, the legion talent I and him blessed must be cancelled."
"Simply put, when the three of us are present, it is meaningful to only bless us two or only bless you. Both of us are blessed but the loss is too great." Chen Xi added.
