Reborn in the Water Margin as emperor, built tanks to level the world

Chapter 967 Don’t take advantage of victory and pursue it

"After all, before this, every Tianhu city that we conquered had more than one gate."

"What if we are trying our best to destroy the enemy's city, but Tian Hu's army leads his troops to escape from other city gates?"

"At that time, if our army wants to annihilate Tian Hu's army, we don't know how long it will take."

"This is one of them."

"Another point is that our official family is still in Taiyuan City."

"If our army attacks the city on a large scale, and the shells fired by those tanks and chariots accidentally injure the officials, what should we do?"

"So in my opinion, at this moment, we really shouldn't continue to attack."

"Rather, we should lead the troops to retreat to a relatively safe place, and then think about a more reliable plan to defeat the enemy."

"But I don't know what Marshal Zhong means..."

As soon as Wu Yong finished speaking, Master Zhong suddenly raised his hand and patted his forehead hard:

"oops!"

"I neglected these things!"

"What the military advisor said is absolutely correct. At this moment, we really should withdraw our troops."

After Zhongshi Zhongdao said this, he quickly ordered the money to be withdrawn.

Then, with the sound of ringing gold on the battlefield, it spread farther and farther.

The tanks and chariots at the forefront of the army also slowly stopped.

After a while, they all turned around and slowly walked towards their own camp.

About an hour later, the silence in front of the gate of Taiyuan City, which had just been called "Kill Zhentian", returned to the usual silence.

Tian Hu and his dozen generals who were in the city heard from the messengers that the Song troops outside the city retreated one after another.

I couldn't help but feel very confused in my heart.

Especially Tian Hu and Ma Ling, they were thinking about it in every possible way, but they couldn't figure out why the other party withdrew their troops at this time.

Because just an hour ago, before the soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty had withdrawn, Ma Ling had already advised Tian Hu and asked him to order the entire army to withdraw from Taiyuan City.

Because according to his estimation, if the Song Dynasty army wanted to capture Taiyuan City, it would take at most a few hours to attack from the outside.

As for the seemingly extremely strong city wall, it couldn't withstand the continuous bombardment of those steel monsters.

Therefore, at this time, it is the wisest choice to lead the army to withdraw to other places.

Just as Tian Hu was tangled in his heart and thinking about the suggestion made by Ma Ling with all kinds of reluctance.

However, he was told by the messenger soldiers running from the front that the enemy seemed to have the intention of withdrawing their troops.

Although Tian Hu was also surprised, in order to ensure the authenticity of such news, he sent hundreds of spies out one after another.

Its purpose is to explore the movements of the Song Dynasty's army and horses after this.

But as the battle reports came back one after another, Tian Hu was convinced that it wouldn't be long before the Song army and horses would withdraw to their camps.

But the current situation has actually become a reality.

This made Tian Hu suddenly have an unreal feeling in his heart.

Tian Hu frowned, and he was even more puzzled.

But no matter how much he thought about it, he just couldn't guess the real reason why the Song Dynasty Army and Horse did this.

So at this time, he could only turn around and ask his first military advisor Ma Ling.

Although Ma Ling was puzzled by this matter.

But it also gives a few guesses about the most likely situations under the current situation:

"Pindao believes that the reason why the Song Dynasty army did not attack the city immediately is because there are only two situations."

"One is that because I have scruples in my heart, I don't dare to attack directly."

"The second reason is because they are using tricks."

"But Pindao has been thinking about it for a long time, but he still can't figure out what kind of strategy the Song army wants to use against us."

"So let me make a bold guess. It is because the opponent's army and horses have scruples in their hearts that they dare not attack the city in a large scale."

As soon as Ma Ling finished speaking, Wu Li, who was standing aside and covered in dust, said with a sudden look on his face:

"Is it possible? Is it possible that the steel monsters driven by the enemy destroyed all the black and gray projectiles?"

"If the Song army still had those black and gray projectiles in their hands, how could they not take advantage of the great victory and break through our city gate in one fell swoop?"

"In other words, if the general is the leader of the Song Dynasty's army, unless the black and gray projectiles are gone, or there are very few in stock."

"Otherwise, we will definitely take advantage of this good situation to attack all the way and continue to expand our results."

Tian Hu slowly turned his head thoughtfully, and his gaze fell firmly on Wu Li.

After only thinking for a moment, he nodded slowly:

"Although you seem to be old and incompetent, what you have in mind is quite insightful."

"Then General Wu Li, you might as well think about it for me again."

"If that Song army really used up all the black and gray projectiles in this battle."

"Then what actions will you take next?"

Wu Li's brows furrowed vigorously, and his feet were pacing back and forth without any time to spare.

After pondering for a long time, he finally said tentatively:

"What if the steel monster in the hands of the Great Song army and horses no longer has that steel projectile?"

"Its attack capability will definitely be greatly reduced."

"At that time, there is a high probability that we will not be able to break through the gate of our Taiyuan City with this object."

"Even so, there seems to be no benefit in continuing to waste time with us here."

"After all, in terms of the strength of our Taiyuan City."

"If the enemy army only relies on common siege equipment such as siege ladders to besiege this city."

"I'm afraid that even if we attack continuously for ten days and a half, we may not be able to gain much advantage."

"So Wei Chen concludes that in a few days, the Song Dynasty army will most likely escape from here."

"After we get more projectiles from Tokyo City, we will attack our Taiyuan City again."

Tian Hu nodded slowly, then turned his head and looked at Ma Ling standing next to him with a look of hope:

"Master, what do you think of this?"

At this time, Ma Ling was waving the whisk in her hand and slowly stroking the beard on her chin with her other hand.

When his eyes were slightly closed, the pair of unibrows were also slightly frowning:

"Wei Chen also feels that what General Wu said makes sense."

"But for the sake of the accuracy of the news, we should still send some spies to the Song Army to confirm whether what General Wu just said is true."

"If this is the case, if we send another cavalry to ambush the Song army, it will have a miraculous effect."

"What if the Song army did not retreat?"

"Pindao, here, there is a trick that can definitely catch the Song army by surprise."
