Chapter 668: Plan Frustrated
"Oh, this old fox runs so fast!"
Standing on his horse, looking at the traces left by the Xianbei army's massive retreat, Shang Ji cursed angrily.
Behind Shang Ji, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Tai Shici, Su Huan, Guo Biao and other five top military generals stood behind Shang Ji, and their faces were also not very good-looking. Behind them is the Pingzhou Assault Group selected by 100,000 people!
Ke Bi can just run fast, otherwise he might be left behind.
According to Ke Bineng's information, there should be about 200,000 people left in the Pingzhou Army's assault group, but he didn't know that Shang Ji had recovered all the prisoners of the Guardian Army who he believed to be unyielding in just ten days.
The entire Pingzhou expedition group suddenly swelled to 320,000.
Shang Ji originally planned to take advantage of the information gap, divide the army into two, and select the most elite 100,000 troops to rush secretly to block Ke Bineng's retreat, while the remaining 200,000 troops marched normally to confuse Ke Bineng.
At the same time, Shang Ji had already given Zhang He an order that once Ke Bineng was stopped, the whole army would attack immediately.
Of course, there is a huge disparity in the strength of the two sides. Even if the expeditionary group returns to help out, it is unlikely that Ke Bineng will be wiped out in one battle. Therefore, Shang Ji still has a backhand.
More than one million support troops led by Ge Zhen have secretly entered the grassland, less than a thousand miles away from the battlefield. As long as Shang Ji and Zhang Xi can jointly block Ke Bineng's retreat, and then Ge Zhen leads an assault, with three heavy punches, even if Ke Bineng can't be killed all at once, at least he can be severely injured.
However, the plan couldn't keep up with the changes. I don't know if it leaked the news or Ke Bineng was too cautious. Before the assault group arrived, Ke Bineng resolutely issued an order for the entire army to retreat, allowing Shang Ji to plan carefully. The Armageddon came to naught.
"My lord, Zhang He, Xu Huang, Qin Ping, Lu Kuang and other main generals of Zhang He's army are here to pay their respects." Guo Biao stood behind Shang Ji and said in a low voice.
"Ugh!"
Glancing at the direction Ke Bi Neng retreated again, Shang Ji sighed, then waved his hands and said, "Please come here, some generals."
A while later, Zhang He and others came here led by the guards. As soon as they saw Shang Ji, Zhang He immediately pleaded guilty and said: "The general has failed the lord's expectations and failed to leave Ke Bineng's main force group. I also ask the lord to surrender."
"I also ask the lord to come down!"
The rest of Xu Huang, Qin Ping and others immediately bowed down and said.
Shang Ji took a step forward to help the crowd, and said with a smile: "Your lords, with their weak soldiers, resisted Kebi Neng's main force and inflicted heavy damage on the enemy's army. It's too late to reward such achievements. How can you blame them? "
"My lord..."
Seeing that Zhang He was still about to speak, Shang Ji pulled him up with a smile and said, "As for Ke thief running away, it's not Junyi's fault. I can only say that Ke thief is a treacherous and cunning man, what has he got to do with Junyi?"
Zhang He breathed a sigh of relief quietly, although Kebi's ability to escape had nothing to do with him, even if Zhang He knew about it, he would not be able to pursue and stop him with the current force in his hand.
However, the decisive battle plan carefully prepared by his boss has come to naught. As one of the commanders of the three-way army, Zhang Xi naturally has to admit his mistake. Could it be that you let Ke Bineng go because the boss came late?
"Send the order to Liu Meng to lead the rest of the troops to join the army quickly. At the same time, send an order to Ge Zhen to give up hiding and join the main army at the fastest speed. Can the monk run to the temple? I don't believe Kebi How dare you give up on Manchester City!"
"By the way, didn't Juluohou also withdraw? Send someone to ask Xingba what the two of Youzhou's plans are at the moment. Are they going to march alone or join forces with us to attack Manchester City? If Join forces together, then determine the meeting point as soon as possible. If you have any scruples in your heart, then let them march alone. However, Xingba rescued them. Now that the crisis of the Youzhou coalition forces has been resolved, Xingba will not stay there any longer. If necessary, let him come back as soon as possible."
Zhang He glanced at Shang Ji hesitantly, and asked hesitantly: "Withdrawing General Gan Ning, will the Youzhou Allied Forces have the intention to retreat again?"
"Humph!"
Shang Ji sneered, and said disdainfully: "At this time, you can't drive away the Youzhou coalition army even if you chase them away. Now that Ke Bineng is on the decline, how could Ding Yuan and Gongsun Zan give up this good opportunity to beat the dog in the water?"
Although the main force that Ke Bi Neng really lost in the previous bloody battle was only more than 600,000, this made Ding Yuan and Gongsun Zan firm in their belief in victory.
Coupled with the return of Shang Ji, the troops from all over the place were merged into one place, and the supreme commander of the Pingzhou Army was naturally Shang Ji himself. Once Shang Ji takes over the supreme command and directly leads the army to fight, the various buff effects of the title of "Alien Conqueror" will cover the entire army, and the overall combat power will increase by at least 10%.
At the same time, more than one million new troops led by Ge Zhen joined the battlefield, further narrowing the gap in strength between the Pingzhou Army and the Xianbei Army.
However, Ke Bi Neng took the initiative to evacuate, and the morale of the Xianbei army inevitably declined. Between the ebb and flow, the combat power of the two sides quietly reversed.
The Northern Expedition to Xianbei not only gained money, but also gained prestige at home.
Taking Shang Ji as an example, although others are far away in the grasslands, since this period of time, Pingzhou’s talent recruitment center has been full almost every day, and military officers and scholars have flocked here, which has greatly filled the gap in Pingzhou’s middle and low-level talents.
Although Ding Yuan and Gongsun Zan's harvest is not as good as that of Shang Ji, they are still in the state of "domestic attachment, heroes rushing to join", and even some of the originally not honest families in the territory have calmed down.
Once the troops are withdrawn at this time, the lofty reputation accumulated in the early stage will immediately disappear, and it will even be self-defeating and counterproductive. No one dares to take such a risk.
What's more, fighting in Xianbei has a lot of real benefits to supplement.
Although the harvest of Ding Yuan and the others is far less than that of the merchants who robbed Dragon City, they can still be called a windfall. The war horses that were cherished in the past were abandoned like scraps, but in just over a month, the mounts of the soldiers of the Youzhou coalition army were almost changed.
"The order will be passed on, the army will be repaired on the spot. Send people to inform Ge Zhen and Liu Meng, and let them come to discuss the military situation together as soon as possible. In addition, they will call influential alien groups or individuals, and they will have something to explain to them.
By the way, the representatives of the Baiyun Alliance were also called in, and they said that they had done a good job in deterring the eastern Xianbei, and they would be very satisfied, and they would have more important tasks to be entrusted to them.
The orders are endless, and the army deployment of more than 5,000 people in Touman City will be closely monitored. Touman City will be our final battleground, and we must not be careless! "
"Yes, follow the command of the lord!"
