Chapter 314 Out of the fortress
Fusu kept looking at the distance on the map. In the past two days, the map he had read the most was this one.
As the distance on the map was shortened little by little, Fusu's heart tensed.
If the plan is followed, Wang Li should be able to block the Hu people within the Great Wall and create conditions for encirclement and annihilation of the Hu people.
"Young Master." Ying Bu's face was solemn, and he said, "General Wang Li did not intercept him. Most of the Hu people have broken through the Great Wall and returned to the grassland."
"What's going on?"
Fusu looked ugly. After planning this plan for so long, he didn't expect that it would be very difficult to implement it. From the beginning, it had been full of twists and turns.
I thought I had experienced so many twists and turns and had reached this last time and when I was reaping results, but I didn’t expect that I would be in vain after all.
Ying Bu waved his hand, and suddenly, a soldier was taken to Fusu. The soldier bowed and said, "Young Master, since General Wang Li set off, it has been raining heavily, the march has been slow, and the mountain torrents have erupted, which has destroyed many roads."
"General Wang led his army here, and most of the Hu people had crossed the Great Wall. General Wang led his army to fight fiercely, beheading more than 8,000 people, and most of the Hu people escaped."
Fusu clenched his fists tightly, his eyes filled with anger. What he heard proved that this strategy was a complete failure.
It seems that this time God made a big joke with him, and he never stood on his side from beginning to end!
All luck is biased towards the Hu people.
Ying Bu's expression turned dark. Looking at Fusu who was calm at this moment, he knew that Fusu's heart was far from as simple as it seemed on the surface, and he was carrying too many things inside.
Everything was supported by Fusu, and Mo Chu's departure two days ago once again added a huge rock of ten thousand kilograms to Fusu's heart.
He didn't know if Fusu could still hold on after experiencing these things?
"Yingbu, summon all the officers and soldiers, I have something to say."
Fusu's words were plain, as if he was talking about something unintentional. After a moment, 30,000 Qin troops stood neatly in front of Fusu.
Looking at the 30,000 Qin troops, some of them had a naive vitality on their faces and some were unshaven. They were already thirty or forty years old. They were fathers and some were wasted time here and had never married yet.
"If you have parents at home, leave the list!"
Accompanied by a military order from Fusu, some people in the army stood up.
"If you have a wife and children at home, leave the list."
Another group of people stood in front of the army.
"The only son in the family is out of the line." With the last military order, Fusu looked roughly and found that about half of the field were left.
"All soldiers who came out of the list stayed here to collect their positions and waited for the general's orders. The rest of the soldiers boarded the horse and followed me to go out to pursue the Hu people." Fusu took the lead in stepping on the war horse and turned around to look at everyone.
Ying Bu smiled at the corner of his mouth. The difficulties in front of him did not knock down Fusu, but instead made him become more tenacious.
Ying Bu bowed and said, "Young Master, you have never repayed your son since we met you. This time, Ying Bu is willing to follow the son out of the frontier and pursue the Hu people."
Gao Chong flashed in front of him and said, "Young Master, when I was in Jiujiang County, I was kind to you, and I was allowed to follow you. I have great trust. Wherever the young master goes, Gao Chong will go."
"Mengtuo swears to follow the young master to the death!"
Looking at the scene in front of him, Meng Tuo was in agitation and stood up to express his feelings. The time spent together these days had already made Meng Tuo and Ying Bu and the others get together. They also knew what kind of ability Ying Bu and the others had, but they were willing to lie dormant under Fusu and obey Fusu's orders.
Meng Tuo also felt respectful from the bottom of his heart for Fusu!
Meng He bowed his hands and said, "Everyone of the Meng family army is a strong man, I wish to follow the young master to the death!"
Immediately, Meng He turned over the horse, and more than 30,000 soldiers behind him moved in an orderly manner and stepped onto the war horse together.
"Set off!"
On this day, 30,000 Qin troops went out of the frontier and rushed to the grassland!
…………
Wang Li was also quite distressed when he sat in the military tent.
If the marching speed could go to the front line, it would definitely be able to block the Hu people returning to the grassland. However, when they arrived, most of the Hu people had passed away, and only one tail was left remains within the Great Wall.
However, there was no army under his command that could be pursued. Although the army he carried was equipped with war horses, it was a minority after all, and most of them were infantry.
Just relying on that little bit of cavalry, blind pursuit, is extremely easy to get caught in.
Wang Li also knew that he had to bear a lot of responsibility for the failure of this strategy. It can be said that if he could arrive in time, he would never be like this.
Wang Li felt a little ashamed of the wonderful strategy, and finally implemented it like this.
And for this strategy and to be able to wipe out the Hu people who invaded this time, the price paid was unprecedented.
Not only were several counties in the north invaded by the Hu people, countless people were captured by the Hu people, but countless expenses were spent in the court.
Wang Li heard that His Majesty even stopped the construction of the imperial tomb and Xindu, and fully supported the front line.
But the final result was so pitiful. It can be said that the entire Qin army guarding the north was guilty of being responsible.
After all, the emperor gave such great expectations and the answer he delivered was so ugly, no one would be angry!
When Wang Li was secretly worried, suddenly, a soldier ran in in a panic, which made Wang Li even more upset.
Wang Li was patient and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Qi reported to General, Fusu led 30,000 Qin troops out of the frontier!"
A word immediately made Wang Li stand up and look at the messenger in surprise. It seemed that the news from the messenger seemed like a joke.
"This matter is absolutely true?" Wang Li asked again.
"It's true." The messenger replied affirmatively again.
“When will you go out of the gate?”
"About an hour ago."
"Hurry, no matter what, I have to send someone to find the young master!" Wang Li ordered immediately.
After the messenger left the tent, Wang Li stroked his palms on his forehead, obviously having a headache.
This is a worse situation for him!
Originally, the front-line war was not good, so His Majesty would have to hold him accountable. Now, if there is something wrong with Fusu, even if he has the title of Marquis of Wu Cheng, he will not be able to protect himself.
The vast grassland is extremely dangerous, and among them, the Hu people are even more elusive. The Qin army has no experience in fighting in the frontier. Therefore, in Wang Li's view, Fusu's move is undoubtedly seeking death!
It is indeed heartbreaking to lose 30,000 Qin troops, but if Fusu died in battle or was captured, the face of Qin would be lost!
Chapter completed!
