The address of the Xia Army General Camp in Western Xinjiang is located in Tongde Pass in Western Xinjiang.
Tongde Pass is an important military town on the border of Xia Kingdom, guarding the entrance to the entire Western Xinjiang.
In the current war between Xia and Shang, although the Xia State has suffered a small loss, there is no need for the Xia State to retreat here. On the contrary, the Xia State is very active in the battle outside Tongde Pass and has invested a large amount of troops.
Conduct an all-out battle on the long Western Xinjiang front.
The news of the defeat of the left-wing war in Western Xinjiang was delivered to Tongde Guanzhong overnight.
This news immediately caused an explosion in Tongde Pass.
Western Xinjiang is of great strategic significance to the Xia Kingdom. The Xia Kingdom has been contained in Tongde Pass a hundred years ago. After several generations of hard work, it was not easy to open up the land in Western Xinjiang.
After opening up Western Xinjiang, the defensive pressure on Tongde Pass was greatly reduced. In recent decades, without the invasion of war, it has become more and more prosperous. Except for the tall city wall, the entire Tongde Pass is just like the Xia Pass.
Cities in the mainland are generally prosperous.
As soon as the news of the defeat of the war came through, the entire Tongde Pass exploded.
Let’s talk about the common people first. These common people gathered in Tongde Pass mainly because of the convenient transportation here. All kinds of commodities such as ore, grain, fruits and so on mined in Western Xinjiang must be transported to the Central Plains through Tongde Pass.
Many people rely on the trade between Western Xinjiang and the Central Plains. Now that the war has started again, and the Xia army has been losing consecutively, the people will naturally consider their own safety immediately, and many people gather in groups.
Withdrew from Tongde Pass. It is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.
It's not just the common people who are in trouble.
In the Xia Kingdom's general camp, all the guards were summoned urgently to discuss countermeasures.
Just a left wing in Western Xinjiang, just losing a battle, is nothing to the Xia Kingdom.
The key problem is that the strong fighting power displayed by Shang State shocked the entire Xia army.
According to the news, the caravans displayed an unprecedented battle formation, which was extremely powerful.
According to previous statistics, in the battle between the Xia Army and the Shang Army, the attrition ratio was about 100 to 97. That is, the Xia Army suffered 100 casualties and the Shang Army suffered 97 casualties. This difference is not big.
However, in the battle on the left wing of Western Xinjiang, the gap in the attrition ratio was greatly widened. It was about 100 to 42 people. In other words, the Xia army lost 100 people, while the Shang army only lost 42 people.
people……
This loss ratio generally only appears in siege battles. In siege battles, the city walls are strong, so the attacker will pay a huge price.
The war on the left wing of Western Xinjiang was carried out in the plains. The war in the plains produced such an exaggerated proportion of losses that the Xia army lost their face to the sky...
In a luxuriously decorated hall in Tongde Pass, Yang Biao was sitting in it, his face gloomy and bleeding.
"My son Yang Qi is really dead?"
Yang Biao's voice was also gloomy and slightly trembling. It could be heard that he was trying his best to control his emotions.
"Deputy Commander Yang! This is true. At that time, Camp Leader Yang Qi was besieged by eight enemy camps. He had no way out. He was finally besieged and died by the warriors of the Shang Kingdom..."
The person who reported the news of Yang Qi's death was from the scout camp. To be honest, he was unwilling to report the matter to Yang Biao. The pain of losing a child was not easy to bear, and no one wanted to face Yang Biao's wrath.
Yang Biao was unexpectedly silent and asked calmly: "Where is the body of my son Yang Qi?"
"could not find it."
"You mean my son is dead?"
Yang Biao's cold voice came over, and the scout suddenly shuddered, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
At the level of a warrior, he has completely broken away from the scope of strength and speed. The power is too great. If he loses a battle, it is difficult to leave a complete corpse, not to mention that Yang Qi is besieged by several warriors.
"Deputy Commander Yang, our scout battalion is responsible for disseminating news. I really don't know the specific situation. Maybe they found something unexpected while cleaning the battlefield."
Yang Biao waved his hand and let out a long sigh. He would not really get angry here and embarrass a scout.
After the scouts left, a man appeared in Yang Biao's palace.
"General Tian Pian, do you think it's strange that my son died?"
Tian Zheng is one of Yang Biao's confidants. He is careful and cautious, and has good strength. He is also a warrior.
"Young Master Yang Qi is very talented, and what he leads is just a cannon fodder battalion. He will definitely not venture into the depths of the enemy's battle formation. I think Young Qi's death is strange," Tian Zheng analyzed with his head lowered.
Yang Biao nodded and said: "Besides, he still has several valuable treasures on him. Even if ordinary warriors surround him, it is not difficult to escape. But according to the scout battalion, there are actually eight battalions.
Besieging my son...why is this?"
This is the strange place where Yang Qi died. Yang Biao has always regarded Yang Qi as his son as his pride, but no matter how powerful Yang Qi is, it is impossible for him to receive such "favor" from the caravan team.
Tian Zheng was also puzzled. Although Yang Qi himself was very good and had been promoted to a samurai, the merchant team could not afford to besiege Su Le with eight battalions...
"There must be a hidden reason for this. Deputy Commander Yang, I am willing to go investigate on your behalf." Tian Zhenggong said with his hands in hand.
Yang Biao sighed, but tried his best to suppress the pain of losing his son. He had to avenge this, "Brother Tian, this matter will trouble you."
…
…
The war between Xia and Shang expanded very quickly.
After the merchant team broke through from the left wing of Western Xinjiang, they pursued it all the way.
The thirteen battalions stationed on the left flank of Western Xinjiang could only continue to retreat to preserve their strength.
Because the left wing of Western Xinjiang was breached, there was no point in defending the middle and right wings of Western Xinjiang. The three Xia armies all began to retreat. According to the order of the Xia army commander, these three armies were required to converge in the rear and snipe the merchant army.
Su Le doesn't want to analyze things about the general environment, nor does he need to analyze them.
As an ant, your biggest duty is to quickly increase your strength and keep yourself alive.
The subsequent battles were extremely fierce, with both sides going back and forth, which was very lively.
What makes Su Le a little depressed is that the brothers in the Kaishan camp seem to like to follow his actions...
It's not that Su Le is unhappy. If a battalion of brothers can take care of him, he will naturally be willing to do so. But with more people, the target will become bigger. The number and strength of the enemy he faces will continue to increase.
Huang Hu also noticed this problem. As long as the fifth school went out, several school teams would inevitably approach. Huang Hu used the camp flag several times to move them away.
In fact, Huang Hu was shocked and a little scared by the combat effectiveness of the five schools and Su Le's commanding ability.
No matter how bad the environment was, Su Le was always able to lead his troops back, and the losses were never too great.
Su Le is completely an anomaly. For this kind of anomaly, Huang Hu usually only considers two ways to deal with it. One way is to recommend Su Le. The other way is to let Su Le take the initiative to die.
Huang Hu didn't like Su Le. There were many Taoists in the army. Although meritocracy was a right way, it was not yet the turn of a small school, so Huang Hu was not happy to recommend Su Le.
As for letting Su Le take the initiative to die, Huang Hu has already tried this method. Su Le is already strong enough. Unless Huang Hu directly gives an order to let Su Le lead a school team to destroy a battalion... But doing so would be unavoidable.
It's too ugly, and it's easy for others to take advantage of it.
Just when Huang Hu was thinking hard, someone suddenly came to visit. The visitor was none other than the warrior Tian Zheng.
Tian Zheng was from the Yang family, and he held the position of "special general" in the army, but it was a false position. Everyone knew that Tian Zheng was Yang Biao's subordinate and would only obey Yang Biao's orders.
Anyone who can enter the warrior realm is not a person with insufficient brains. As soon as Tian Zheng opened the camp, Huang Hu instantly guessed Tian Zheng's intention.
Are you here to investigate the cause of Yang Qi's death?
Yang Qi's death has caused an uproar in the army. Wherever there are people, there will be politics, and there are many kinds of struggles in the army.
A child from an aristocratic family like Yang Qi, who was sent to the army and was generally well protected, was suddenly besieged and killed by a caravan of merchants. There must be something fishy about it.
"General Tian Zheng, please sit down, please sit down." Huang Hu squeezed out a flattering smile on his face. To Huang Hu, Tian Zheng was an honored guest and a warrior. He was usually a master who would not be able to fawn over even on a pole.
Son, today I came uninvited, so Huang Hu was naturally very polite.
At the same time, Huang Hu's mind was racing. Tian Zheng was visiting. Did Tian Zheng investigate the clues to Yang Qi's death?
After Tian Zheng sat down, he raised his head and asked, "Captain Huang Hu, we had a battle with the Merchant Corps the day before yesterday. Have you seen Master Yang Qi and his camp?"
Sure enough, Huang Hu had a certain idea in his mind.
"On that day, Mr. Yang Qi was the left forward. He was too far away from my Kaishan camp and I didn't see Mr. Yang Qi. If I knew that Mr. Yang Qi was in danger, I, Huang Hu, would definitely lead the Kaishan camp to save him to the death. I also regret this today.
Extremely, I had a very happy chat with Mr. Yang Qi in the past two days, but I didn’t expect that after these two days, the yin and yang would be separated..." Huang Hu had a sad look on his face and shook his head.
Seeing Huang Hu like this, Tian Zheng calmly comforted him and said: "The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. No one can predict it. No one can guarantee that he will be unscathed on the battlefield. It seems that Camp Leader Huang Hu is not safe either.
What’s the news?”
Tian Zheng was a little absent-minded at the moment. His thoughts were not on Huang Hu. If he couldn't find anything after a visit to the military camp, it would be difficult for him, Tian Zheng, to communicate with Yang Biao. Thinking of this made him a little distressed.
He had conducted detailed investigations in the past few days, but found nothing.
After Yang Qi's death, none of the soldiers in his battalion survived, which further increased the difficulty of the investigation.
Huang Hu saw the distress on Tian Zheng's face, and for some reason, he suddenly thought of Su Le. Su Le, this kid, could go around the Qibing Bagua array without dying, so he was extremely lucky.
Others see it as luck, but maybe it's not luck? Of course, Huang Hu doesn't really think that Su Le can crack the Eight Trigrams Formation. He just takes the opportunity to say a few words at this time. It may not be possible to kill Su Le with the help of Tian Zheng. By the way,
I can still make good friends with Tian Zheng...
Wishful thinking was playing out, and it was still waiting to see if the other party would respond, so Huang Hu looked at Tian Zheng with a cautious face and said: "General Tian Zheng, there is a small school in my camp. It is very strange to say that there was a small school in the camp that day.
On the battlefield, I assigned them to defend against the enemy, but I didn't expect that this junior colonel seemed to be very familiar with the Bagua Formation and actually escaped without a trace."
When Tian Zheng heard this, he was slightly startled, "Is there such a bizarre thing?"
