Chapter 439 This Is Called Retreat
Wu Yong smiled bitterly, and said to everyone: "I have always been the master, so why would I want to retreat, but at this point in the war, it is time to retreat."
After Lin Fan finished speaking, he said to the spy next to him:
"Xiao Liu, tell the leaders about the news just now."
Hearing this, the spy named Xiao Liu quickly said to the leaders present:
"Brothers, just now our scouts sent back news that more than half an hour ago, officers and soldiers from Anji County appeared at the foot of Daqing Mountain!"
This news really shocked everyone present.
"Is the news reliable?"
After hearing this, Great Elder Li Mu hurriedly asked.
"The news is absolutely true."
Wu Yong took over the conversation at this time, and said to Li Mu:
"Although I'm ready for a decisive battle here, I'm also prepared for the Anji County side, in case the devil cuts off our retreat...so I sent out several people back and forth. Ten spies, the Lin family army is really powerful, most of the spies were caught by them, fortunately these few people were excited, and finally passed the news back..."
Li Mu's complexion was a bit ugly. Now that the battle ahead is unfavorable, and the back road seems to be copied by someone, if this is the case, they will lose the possibility of retreating.
"How many people came from the other party?"
Li Muhan asked with a face.
"I don't know, I heard...a large area covered in darkness... there should be tens of thousands..."
The spy said in a low voice, after all, they are not professional spies, so naturally there is no way to determine the number of people.
At that time, he just looked at it from a distance, and he could only see that the crowd was full of people. After the number exceeded [-], it felt overwhelming, so he felt that they were all people.
The spy took a good look at it from a distance, because many brothers in front had already been caught by the Lin family's army. How many people, he didn't know in his heart.
However, there is nothing wrong with talking more about this kind of thing, so this person said more about the number of people.
When he said this, the faces of the crowd really changed.
Wu Yong's face was pale. At this time, he was extremely weak, and his strength seemed to be exhausted. He could no longer sit by himself. He leaned his body against the tree, sighed, and said with a wry smile:
"I have known for a long time that this person's design is interlocking, and there must be a follow-up. I have been guarding against this, and I have focused on sending people to watch this matter. I didn't expect this Lin family army to be so powerful. God doesn't know. Unconsciously, it appeared at the foot of Daqing Mountain..."
"...He didn't mobilize the Lin family army in that place in the first place, but just waited for this time to draw the fire from the bottom of the pot! Great Elder, it seems that we have no choice but to retreat!"
Some people drink low:
"But how can we retreat at this time? If the news spreads, the morale of the army will be disrupted at that time, and everyone will flee in all directions..."
"If you don't retreat, you have to retreat! It seems that we can still stick together here! But once the Lin family army appears, more than 1 of us will not even be able to escape, and we will collapse immediately!"
Wu Yong's voice was a bit loud, but his tone was unusually firm, but there was a bit of bitterness in his words.
"If we are attacked by two sides on the Daqing Mountain side, with such morale, we will not be able to attack Yangjiazhuang in the front, and we will be pursued by the Lin family army in the back. It may be all over by then!"
"Military Master, I'm afraid you are too pessimistic. I've also heard about the Lin family's army. There are no more than 5000 people, and half of them are recovering from injuries. The number of soldiers capable of fighting should not exceed [-]."
One of the little bosses said to Wu Yong at this time.
Wu Yong looked at these leaders and said helplessly:
"In the current situation, even if the Lin family army has five thousand soldiers, can we resist it?"
The voice of this sentence was not loud, but it silenced everyone. Even the little leader who spoke just now opened his mouth at this time, but in the end he didn't dare to say that they could resist it.
They couldn't even attack Yangjiazhuang with 1000 people here, let alone more than 5000 regular troops over there.
And it was the most powerful army in the Song Dynasty, the trump card among the trump cards.
Wu Yong saw that everyone was silent, so he said:
"Since this is the case, there may be a way out before the Lin family's army completes the encirclement..."
The roads of Daqingshan were wide and narrow, and if they were filled with dumplings in such a complex terrain, the rebels would definitely be wiped out according to the chaotic morale of the rebel army at this time.
Under the slope, everyone was silent and did not speak. To be honest, although they had expected this result, they still found it difficult to accept.
More than 3 people came out in a mighty manner. I didn't expect that even a Zhuangzi with more than 3000 people was not defeated, and now there is still the danger of the entire army being wiped out.
They are all heroes of the rivers and lakes, and the most important thing is to save face. With the current situation, I am afraid that they will not be able to gain a foothold in the rivers and lakes in the future.
It's so embarrassing.
But compared with face, being alive is more important.
Li Mu took a deep breath. This very difficult decision can only be made by him in the end. He said bitterly:
"Since this is the case, then we can only inform and the whole army retreats..."
After a pause, Li Mu hurriedly instructed again:
"Let the little bosses below pay attention, calm the emotions of the soldiers below, don't be chaotic, and then everyone will start to retreat together..."
Although it is said so, no one actually has a bottom in their hearts.
After all, if there is a real fight, when they are in danger, a unit like theirs without much military discipline may still play by ear.
After all, when you meet a tiger in the forest, if you want to survive, you don't need to run past the tiger at all, you just need to run past your companions.
"The situation is urgent, and the leaders are going to work hard. Please be sure to restrain your subordinates. In this crisis, only when everyone works together can we overcome the difficulties and return to Lin'an City alive. When the time comes, everyone will continue to drink and talk. Big mouthfuls of meat, big bowls of wine..."
Li Mu said with a serious face:
"If someone messes up at that time, even if they escape back by luck, don't blame me, Li, for being ruthless!"
Li Mu knew that at this time, the stakes had to be clarified, and the sweet dates and sticks had to be used. Although these things might not work at the critical moment of life and death, they had to be mentioned.
After giving all these orders, Li Mu asked all the leaders to go to work.
After all, retreat is also a technical task. If you are a little careless, you will not be able to retreat if you want to.
