Chapter 611 Victory or defeat(2/2)
…
All kinds of news came one after another, making Liu Yao feel even more depressed.
It was so exciting to chase Jin Zheng before and how exciting the killing was, but now I feel so embarrassed.
It is especially painful to win first and then lose.
In fact, the enemy's strength did not reach the level where he could definitely win. Especially after Duan Xianbei arrived on the battlefield, Liu Yao once saw the hope of winning - at least the stalemate could continue.
But I still collapsed at the critical moment. I was lured out and then pulled back. This process was too painful.
If you think about it carefully, where did you lose? In fact, the answer is obvious: insufficient troops.
Even including Duanbu Xianbei and Shi Le, their strength was only 40,000 to 50,000 infantry and cavalry, and they had to guard against Tuoba Xianbei, so they could not use their full strength.
The total of Shao Xun's two men and horses exceeded 60,000, not counting the more than 20,000 cavalry invested by Su Qiu, Zhang Jackal, Bo Sheng and others.
The Youzhou soldiers moved south again, but when they were exhausted from fighting with Jin Zheng, the overall situation suddenly became unsustainable and defeat was determined.
Let’s delve into the deeper reasons. He stayed in Xinxing. There were no less than 20,000 troops in Taiyuan and Taiyuan to defend Tuoba Xianbei. If these 20,000 people could be put into the battlefield in Hebei, what would be the result?
There is no use thinking about this now. I really don’t know how to clean up this mess in Hebei.
"Send someone to inform Shi Le that I will stay for another three days to gather the scattered soldiers." Liu Yao wiped his face and said in a low tone: "Retreat to Jingxing on the 29th, he - he can figure it out."
(It’s the last day, don’t waste your monthly tickets, thank you.)
