Chapter 624 Dilemma
Na Wei raised his head and looked at the tall city walls and bright lights of Ruyin County in the distance, and was speechless for a long time.
If you want to capture this strong city in front of you, I don’t know how much price you have to pay,
Whether it was worth it or not was the question he needed to consider now.
As a qualified military commander, he naturally realized that this battle has become a bit strange so far.
The opponent is retreating in a planned way.
It seems that in every city, every town, and every county, the other side is desperately resisting, and the fighting is quite fierce, but it just looks lively.
The other side resisted for a while and then began to retreat.
And before the war broke out, they had even evacuated the people,
I took away all the valuables, edible things, and useful things.
Under the strong walls and clear fields, Na Wei also had a very difficult life.
Fortunately, Xiong Yi, the logistics manager at the rear, is still very capable,
Although it's not too rich, it's still enough.
If you can capture Ruyin County, you should be able to make a fortune.
Various intelligence shows that Ruyin County Governor Han Zuo has indeed evacuated all the people and property he could into the county city, so that the city is now overcrowded.
Na Wei has always suspected that the other party is deliberately luring the enemy into the depths,
Where around you,
There must be a large army of enemy soldiers hidden, and they may surround you at any time,
But the scouts sent out in large numbers found nothing.
The area within dozens of miles is clean!
This put Na Wei out of control.
He Zudao was defeated and died. Na Wei became nervous, thinking that the enemy should appear,
But they didn't come.
Chen Yan's navy was defeated and fled in disgrace.
Na Wei was extremely worried that the other party would take advantage of controlling the waterway and send troops to bypass him and cut off the retreat.
But they still didn't come.
According to the information obtained, the other party actually went to Tong'an County to intercept General Xiang's retreat.
Now General Xiang and 20,000 people are blocked in Tong'an County.
Have you been ignored by the other party?
The war has reached this point, strategically speaking, it has completely failed.
The other party successfully defeated the imperial court's campaign this time,
What Na Wei wanted to do next was to exit gracefully.
What's ridiculous is that Xiong Yi in Danyang City actually sent someone here, asking him to take advantage of this opportunity to capture Ruyin County and share the pressure on Tong'an.
If Ruyin County can be conquered and Kang Zhen on the opposite side can be completely defeated, it will certainly be considered a win back and the court will lose face.
Can it just be beaten down?
Na Wei shook his head.
Impossible.
Now it seems that the opponent is retreating here step by step just to prepare for his most ferocious blow here. You can tell from your buttocks that the opponent has made full preparations in the city.
Use your son's life to do such a meaningless thing,
Na Wei is not that stupid.
Just wanting to quit is not that easy!
Tens of thousands of troops!
When the enemy's strength on the opposite side still exists, retreat hastily. If one mistake is made, the retreat will turn into a rout.
Now I'm really in a dilemma!
"Xiong Yi gave this order with bad intentions!" A hoarse voice came from beside him.
Na Wei turned around and saw an old woman holding a wooden stick in her hand walking out of the darkness.
The old woman with goose skin and white hair is slightly stooped. It is hard to tell how old she is. She is dressed similarly to the witches in the great team, except that the wooden staff in her hand is longer and there is a snake head carved on the top of the staff. On top of the wooden snake head, there is another snake head, but this snake head is movable. It is a living snake.
"Wizard!" Na Wei looked at the woman, bowed slightly and saluted.
"The other party has been prepared for a long time. Xiong Yi wants to kill someone with a borrowed knife and waste the life of a man from the southwest." The wizard's face was cold: "I told you a long time ago not to seek skin from a tiger, but you don't believe it. You want to lead your troops north. Now you are in a dilemma. ”
Na Wei sighed: "Shensha, you are a person in the clouds. You don't care about the world, but you don't know that the world is constantly changing. The Chu State has been planning to change its land and return to its current state for many years, and it has been transformed step by step. We are forced to have no way out. We are not afraid of external pressure, but we are afraid of internal dispersion! Now, we can still gather people's hearts, but in ten or twenty years, we may not be able to fight back. I advocated coming out because I want to fight for another benefit for the Southwest, even if I change my country and return to my hometown. , in the imperial court, our southwest voice must not be quiet!”
"You thought well, but what about now?" The witch sneered: "Xiang Ying and the others have failed. Xiong Yi wants you to attack Ruyin with evil intentions. They have never regarded us as true friends!"
"We were never friends in the first place, it was just because of interests!" Na Wei said. "Xiong Yi wants me to continue the attack. I guess he just wants to confuse me and delay it for a while, so that he can make his next arrangement easier."
"They are afraid that you will withdraw your troops!"
"The wizard is right!" Na Wei said with a smile: "I think so too. I want to go back quickly, but the powerful enemy on the other side is watching, so I don't dare to act rashly. If I don't do something wrong, I will follow in the same footsteps. , isn’t it sad? ”
The witch held the wooden staff and suddenly took a few steps forward. On the head of the staff, the snake's head suddenly raised up and spat out a message.
Na Wei was startled and asked: "Witch, what happened?"
"A visitor is coming!" The wizard took another step forward and stared ahead.
Na Wei stretched out his hand to hold the knife at his waist, and the guards behind him all became nervous.
If you can make the witch look solemn, then the person who comes is definitely not an ordinary person. He is probably a master on the same level as the witch.
As soon as the eyes blurred, there was suddenly an extra person in the apparently empty front.
The place they were in was several miles away from the city wall. There was not even a blade of grass in the middle, let alone a tree. This was why they dared to get so close to observe the city. If necessary, they would turn around and leave.
But the person who just appeared was like a ghost, as if he suddenly emerged from the ground.
"Who are you?" the wizard asked in a deep voice.
Before the visitor could answer, Na Wei behind him spoke first: "If I guessed correctly, you should be Li Dachui, the Protector of the Beiting Protectorate, right? You were not in Tong'an to deal with Xiang Ying, and you actually came to Ruyin. What? Do you think I’m easier to deal with?”
The person who came was none other than Li Dachui.
Hearing Na Wei's words, he smiled, looked at the old woman in front of Na Wei, and said: "It's not easy to deal with at all, it's even more difficult. This should be the witch you worship, right? ”
"You actually know about our offerings?" Na Wei took a step forward, stood up, and faced Li Dachui directly.
"In fact, there are many of us doing business with you in the southwest!" Li Dachui said: "Of course we have heard about the witches for a long time!"
