Chapter 1858(1/2)

Ming Jin withdraws his troops!

As the order was issued, the imperial army began to retreat. The soldiers were also frightened by this scene, and their fighting spirit faded to the extreme.

What if they were the ones trapped in the fire curtain?

That scene is simply unimaginable.

The fire under the city was still burning, but the enemy troops had retreated completely.

Rescue?

There is no way to rescue, so we can only give up.

"Retreating."

"The enemy has retreated!"

The enemy soldiers on the city wall cheered.

"After this time, they may have to wait for a while to continue attacking the city."

"Won't."

Guan Ning said: "The imperial court exchanged Gao Cang Yi for Yu Wenxiong in order to achieve victory as quickly as possible. But the current situation is naturally impossible to explain. Gao Cang Yi can't do it without fighting. The imperial court will force him."

Pang Qingyun said: "However, their most elite Tiger and Ben troops suffered heavy losses, and the only ones they can use anymore are the border guards stationed in Huaizhou. These people should miss your old friendship, right?"

"Maybe."

Guan Ning said: "Emperor Long Jing was also worried about this and changed the generals who are close to me in advance. If Guan Wentong is still the leader, I am afraid he will lead his troops to surrender directly."

"Guan Wentong has been favored by the old prince, and with your relationship, I'm afraid he can really do such a thing."

"But it's not stressful."

Guan Ning said: "Ask Gong Liangyu to arrange for people to spread the word about today's battle. He said that the imperial army was attacking Wu'an City and was about to be breached. Just as he was holding on, a fire suddenly ignited in the water, forming a sea of ​​​​fire and covering the entire imperial army.

Burned to death, Wu'an was preserved..."

"That's probably what it means. Gong Liangyu will understand."

Hear this.

Pang Qingyun was slightly startled, and then showed an expression of admiration.

The prince really never misses any opportunity.

This move is indeed quite clever, the purpose is to show the magic.

He knows what's going on.

Fire and oil do not mix. In fact, what is burning is oil floating on the water, but others do not know it.

They will feel like the water is burning.

But everyone knows that water can extinguish fire, so how can it start a fire?

Naturally, this was associated with miracles.

If you look back at history, you will find that every time an emperor achieves success, there is always something miraculous accompanying it.

This is actually quite important.

Ancient people would associate superstition with some things they couldn't understand.

This is also Guan Ning's purpose.

Why does water catch fire? It's because God is helping him.

The more rumors spread, the more evil it becomes. From now on, he will be the real one...

Thoughts flashed through.

Guan Ning said: "Let the brothers rest, we should have three days to spare."

"yes."

He celebrated happily.

At this moment, Gao Cangyi returned to the camp with a gloomy face.

"Have the losses been calculated?"

"Probably close to 90,000 people."

"Ninety thousand people?"

Takakura Yi slapped the armrest of the seat hard.

Deputy General Wang Hu said: "The key is that the damage to morale is too great. There are rumors in the army that this fire ignited from the bottom of the water, God helped Guan Ning... and connected it with His Majesty's incident on Guan Zhongshan..."

"Nonsense!"

Gao Cangyi said angrily: "How can water burn? It's because Guan Ning poured kerosene into the river in advance..."

He was familiar with military books and had seen similar fire attack strategies in them, but he only recalled them after returning.

"But other people don't think so."

"Damn it!"

"Damn it!"

Gao Cangyi was extremely angry.

Wang Hu asked again: "Then how should we report to the court?"

"We will not report for the time being. We will continue to attack the city in three days!"

Gao Cangyi gritted his teeth and said: "It takes a lot of fire oil to arrange such a scene. I don't believe that Guan Ning can still arrange it."

"Isn't time too tight to attack again in three days? After all..."

"Report!"

At this moment, some soldiers hurriedly ran in.

"There was a riot in the West Camp, and the soldiers from the new barracks on the border guard went to the gang camp to snatch food."

"What?"

Gao Cangyi sat up.

"How could something like this happen?"

"After the army came back, they started to distribute meals. However, they didn't receive any at the new barracks, so they just started looting... Go and have a look."

"Are they looking for death?"

Gao Cangyi stood up with a gloomy expression.

How long ago did this happen?

He quickly rushed over with a group of people.

The Huoying Camp is the camp responsible for cooking in the army. A group of new recruits came over to grab the food, making the whole scene quite chaotic.

"Why don't you give us something to eat?"

"Aren't we human?"

"Brothers, if you don't give us food, we will just rob it!"

"Grab it!"

It turned out that these recruits couldn't stand hunger and felt they were being unfair, so they started to riot...

"Where's Rongfang?"

"Where's Rongfang?"

Gao Cangyi asked loudly.

Rong Fang is the general of the border garrison, so he is naturally in charge.

"General Rong hasn't come yet."

"Damn it!"

Gao Cangyi said directly: "Come here, shoot all these soldiers who are snatching food!"

Seeing that the commotion is getting bigger and bigger, if we don't suppress it quickly, I'm afraid it will cause even greater trouble.

"Come on, come on."

Vice General Wang Hu also understood that mutiny in the army was a very dangerous thing. If it was not handled well, mass incidents would easily occur.

At this time, we must suppress it strongly. This gap cannot be opened. If anyone is dissatisfied and makes trouble, how can we lead these soldiers?

Takakura Yoshimoto, who had just experienced a big defeat, was in a bad mood, but these people were at gunpoint.

Not long after, other troops were mobilized and immediately entered the scene to suppress the situation.

There were thousands of people participating, and how could the hungry and exhausted recruits be able to resist?
To be continued...
