Chapter 1745 Retreat without a fight(2/3)
"All shops are open, and I tell the people that every day, one person will come to buy things."
Someone went down to pass the order, and Yang Du said, "Is this a way to calm the people?"
Chen An nodded, "This battle not only needs to win on the battlefield, but also needs to win the hearts of the people in Youyan and other places."
The generals come later.
"After taking Fanyang City, our army will have a place to settle down, and the subsequent supplies should be transported here, which is to eat step by step."
Chen An was in a good mood. Seeing that the generals were still unsatisfied, he smiled and said, "What? Isn't it fun to kill?"
Wang Zhenchao said: "The Japanese nowadays think they can fight the 30,000 Liao troops, but who knew they had retreated, which was extremely disappointing!"
Chen An nodded, "How is the morale?"
"Gao!" Wang Zhenchao said proudly: "Brothers are screaming on the way back, which reminds Xiaguan of the little wolf cub she had seen."
He looked at the general opposite side and said, "Chenlongtu used infantry to intercept enemy cavalry, which is to refresh our infantry. When we arrived at Youzhou City, the army would definitely be full of morale and would be defeated!"
"The cavalry is back!"
Several generals came in outside, and the leader was Zhekexing.
"how?"
Chen An picked up the teacup and took a sip of the tea, sucking it comfortably.
Zhe Kexing bowed and said, "Xiaguan and others led the cavalry to detour from the flank. The Liao army was very cautious. The cavalry kept a distance of two or three miles from us and could not confront us."
"But they have no morale!" Chen An smiled and said, "Yelu Xiu seems to be a cautious and suspicious person. Such a person has good defense. This should be the main reason why Yelu Hongji asked him to come. Then our army attacked Youzhou and will fight him again. I hope he doesn't want to be a turtle with his head!"
...
"fraud!"
Yelu Xiu galloped all the way, "Then Chen An is a liar. Now I think he just hides the crossbow formation in the formation. When our army attacks, the crossbow formation only needs a wave of crossbow arrows. Tens of thousands of crossbow arrows are scary!"
The generals next to them nodded and said yes.
They are very scared now. Once they are entangled by the Song army, they will really hate the fact that they will fall into Fanyang City today.
"The Ranger is back."
The cavalry quickly followed, and the general reported: "Duke, the cavalry of the Song army has been cruising on the side. If we went up before, they would pounce on us."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Yelu Xiu smiled at the sky.
The generals were praising.
"Fortunately, my husband noticed Chen An's methods today, otherwise we would be fooled."
"Who thinks that Chen An is more cunning, who thinks that my husband is even more........."
"Then Chen An's plan failed this time, I'm afraid he will be so angry that he vomits blood, hahahaha!"
"It must be so. With my husband commanding Nanjing Road, we will definitely be able to repel the Song army!"
“…”
Amid a wave of flattery, a general in a daze said, "Didn't you notice it? The morale of the Song army is getting higher and higher, and ours..."
Everyone looked back and saw that the soldiers looked different, but most of them looked solemn.
This...is something wrong!
"Is he trying to destroy our morale?" the general said quietly, "This is a battle to swell the country, and the first thing is morale. Chen An is well versed in the way of using troops. Will he use this to make the morale of both sides rise and fall?"
Someone said, "Xiao Mozhuo, can't you?"
The general shook his head and said, "No, no, otherwise why did he detour the cavalry?"
"He was going around in the cavalry to encircle us..."
The general who spoke shut up.
"There are all widespread there, we are all cavalry, how can they encircle them?" Xiao Mozhuo said: "My husband, I think this is a way for Chen An to sharpen his morale!"
Yelu Xiu looked at him and nodded, "Your knowledge is good."
He also thought of this, but he refused to admit it, worried that he would affect morale.
"Xiao Mozhuo calms down in this battle. I will write a memorial to Your Majesty for his merits."
Yelu Xiu's methods are not bad, and just a few words made everyone cheer up.
"Retreat without fighting!"
A voice floated over.
"That's Chen An."
"Everyone is afraid of him."
"Of course I'm afraid...we've all lost those few times."
"My husband is afraid he is not his opponent?"
"Thirty thousand cavalry... I have never seen before. Chen An ran forward and still dared not fight."
“…”
These voices continued to spread among the Liao army.
...
The morning in Xiongzhou is very messy.
There are big trucks everywhere in the city, and the dirt roads are crushed with deep ruts.
After Shen An left, Fu Bi fell into a busy state.
His temper is gradually getting irritable.
"Who made it?"
He held a document and said, "Why didn't the food and grass count all the quantities? Do you have to wait for me to come?"
A civil servant stepped forward and said, "My husband, the subordinate official is wrong."
"Take it back and make it again!"
Fu Bi really wanted to hit someone, but when he saw everyone's silent appearance, he endured it.
"My husband!"
His son-in-law is here.
Feng Jing came in and said, "My husband, Chen An has gone down to the new city."
Fu Bi's eyes were filled with joy, and then he pretended to be disdainful, "Just just a new city, a small city, let's talk about it when he captures Fanyang City."
Feng Jing approached and handed over the document.
"It's very simple to write, it's covered by crossbow arrows."
Fu Bi looked up and thought, "You have never been to the battlefield. I don't know what scene you're going to be, it's so shocking! The crossbow arrow flew over like a black cloud, and then a large blank space would appear in the middle of the enemy."
"Do it."
He pointed to the side, and another stack of documents came to be processed.
The father-in-law and son-in-law sat side by side, and the room was quiet.
It was not until afternoon that Fu Bi rubbed his eyes and prepared for supper.
He held a cup of hot tea and said to Feng Jing: "You have never experienced the battle formation, so you can control the baggage more. When you have the chance in the future, you will naturally be able to see it. This is what..."
He lowered his voice, "According to the official's wishes, if the prime ministers in the future do not understand martial arts, they will probably be difficult to enter the Political Affairs Hall."
Feng Jing leaned over and said, "Father-in-law, this is not possible. Do you have to go to the army to practice in the future?"
Fu Bi looked at him and smiled and said, "You have to understand something."
Feng Jing was shocked, "Is this to continuously improve the status of a warrior?"
"You are very smart." Fu Bi said happily: "That's what it means."
Feng Jing sighed: "This matter..."
"Fan Yang City is broken!"
With a shout outside, Fu Bi suddenly stood up, the teacup in his hand swayed, and the hot tea poured on Feng Jing's hand.
"oops!"
Fu Bi turned a deaf ear to his cry of pain and shouted, "Come in and speak."
The messenger was brought in and handed over the document, "Duke, our army has stepped down from Fanyang in a battle, and the enemy's 30,000 cavalry came to help, and retreated without fighting!"
Fu Bi took the document and looked carefully.
"This battle was so smooth. Shen An used his troops steadily, good!"
