General Shegu kept shouting in the darkness to summon his men.
But not many people came.
Logically speaking, at least 24,000 of the 30,000 cavalry escaped, but an hour later, less than 10,000 people had gathered.
The generals felt sad. When they discovered that people kept leaving the group quietly, they couldn't help but became furious. They caught a sergeant who wanted to escape and shouted at him.
"The villain wants to go home!"
This is a soldier who surrendered from the Northern Liao Dynasty.
"You damn thing!" The general drew his sword.
In the darkness, people kept gathering and people kept leaving.
Ahead, a sudden fire broke out.
"kill!"
The people in Shegu couldn't help but despair, "Yang Gou actually laid an ambush here!"
From the moment he was attacked at night, Yang Xuan's series of responses were as fast as lightning and he was far-sighted. In particular, he actually caused people to outflank the Shegu people who were attacking at night from the left and right. Even the enemy Shegu generals secretly admired this move.
But what he didn't expect was that he actually placed troops on the way back from the Shegu people's retreat.
For a time, Yang Xuan's image in the minds of Shegu people was particularly tall.
The feeling of despair that their opponents were so powerful that they couldn't match them made them collapse.
"One!"
"Two!"
A familiar figure was happily harvesting heads in front.
"It's Mr. Wang!"
Even though there were not many people under Wang Laoer's command, everyone in Shegu was panic-stricken at the moment and had no intention of fighting. After being swept away by his wave of more than a thousand people, the rest disappeared into the night.
In the camp, the results of casualties came out.
"More than 3,630 of our troops died in the battle."
This loss is not small.
Yang Xuan said with a gloomy face, "Where is the Shegu people?"
He decided to go back and train the secret whistle himself.
"There are more than 5,000 corpses of the ancient Shegu people."
"Look back and summarize." Yang Xuan took a deep breath and prepared to go to condolences to the entire army.
"My lord, my second brother is back."
Wang Laoer came back with a bunch of heads, happily talking about how he discovered something was wrong and how he hurried back to report the news. As a result, he encountered the enemy's retreat halfway and harvested many heads.
At dawn, the Rangers went out on patrol and found more corpses of Shegu people, and by the way captured many broken soldiers who were wandering in the wilderness like ghosts.
Yang Xuan was having breakfast when Helian Yan came to report.
"Many of the defeated soldiers left the brigade on purpose because they did not want to serve the Shegu people." He Lianyan felt that this was important news.
Yang Xuan took a bite of the pancake and said, "What do they think?"
When Linluo withdrew his troops, the people would rather abandon their homes and follow the defenders to evacuate, which shocked the soldiers who surrendered from the Northern Liao Dynasty. "He Lianyan said: "This shows that people's support is against them."
"Moreover, Ling Du's identity is not simple." He Lianyan took the bowl of soup from Jiang He'er, "He is the general that Asibao relies on most, and the relationship between the two..."
He Lianyan looked around, pointed at Wang Laoer, who was eating and happily talking to Tu Shang about his victory, and said, "It's probably similar to the relationship between the Duke and the second son."
Yang Xuan was delighted, "So, Asibao is going to feel distressed?"
"That's right."
Jiang He'er sat diagonally across from Yang Xuan, raised his head and smiled sweetly, "My lord, Axibao is stealing the chicken but losing the rice. It's not only heartache, but also physical pain."
The old thief came over and said, "My lord, the initiative is still in Asibao's hands. He can advance if he wants to, and retreat if he wants to."
But the Northern Xinjiang Army is in some trouble. Once the Chang'an army approaches, Yang Xuan must retreat.
Yang Xuan said: "The initiative has always been in my hands!"
Commander Ling came back to assist again and rescued some of the remaining brothers. When he was evacuating, he was intercepted by the enemy general "..., he has... gone."
The defeated general knelt on the ground and lowered his head.
Waiting for the king to explode.
Asibao walked outside the lobby door.
With a calm expression, he said, "Ling Du has been with me since he was a child. When I was a child, when I fought with others and encountered a powerful opponent, he would always stand in front of me. He would not flinch even if his nose and face were bruised and swollen."
When we got older, we would go hunting together in the mountains, and he would always stand by my side.
"That time, I was ambushed by a trap set by two brothers, and I was about to suffer a big loss. Ling Du arrived and we beat them up. Afterwards, it was Ling Du who took the punishment on my behalf. Even if
He was beaten half to death, but he still smiled at me and said, Asibao, you have to be good!"
In a place where no one could see, two lines of tears flowed down his face.
Everyone felt Asibao's heartache.
But this is not the time for children to love each other.
Deji said: "Your Majesty, our army has suffered a lot in this battle. Should we continue to defend, or..."
The night attack failed, and the defeated troops returned one after another, numbering just over 10,000.
Thirty thousand elite soldiers, most of whom were lost.
The remaining Shegu army numbered no more than 80,000.
"The Northern Xinjiang Army needs to divide its troops to defend various places, especially Ningxing. Yang Xuan has at most 60,000 to 70,000 troops." Asibao said.
The generals were refreshed.
A sense of superiority arises in me.
Asibao, who casually boosted his morale, flicked away the tears from his eyes, turned around and said, "What we need is to wait."
From this moment on, he decided to abandon all means and wait for the pressure from Chang'an on Yang Xuan.
He changed from a ferocious tiger to a poisonous snake, waiting by the roadside, waiting for Yang Xuan to give Yang Xuan a heavy blow when he could no longer bear the pressure of Chang'an's army approaching northern Xinjiang and took the initiative to withdraw.
Deji said happily: "Your Majesty has become more and more mature."
Another world says that only social beatings can make a person mature.
Asibao, who had been invincible since he came out of the mountain, underwent a change that made Deji happy after receiving a severe beating.
He even had an idea.
Could there be more setbacks like this?
The Shegu people shrank, and their scouts became more dense, but there was no large group of people.
The five thousand cavalry led by Lin Shu also returned to Linluo City. On the entire confrontation line, except for Wang Laoer who went out to earn money every day, there was no major movement.
"They're waiting!"
Han Ji and He Lianrong stood outside the camp. The autumn morning mist was like a graceful girl, swaying gently in the wind, which was intoxicating.
"Waiting for the Chang'an army." He Lianrong said, "How long do you think it will take for the Chang'an army to arrive?"
Han Ji looked sideways at him, "I can only guess when my northern Xinjiang army will be able to move south!"
"The Southern Xinjiang Army still hasn't arrived!"
Since setting off, Chang'an's army has never stopped.
These soldiers who had been guarding the emperor in Chang'an suffered a lot after leaving Guanzhong, and they were full of complaints about it.
"A bunch of idiots!"
General Dou Zhong, the commander of the army, looked at the training soldiers and said coldly: "Capture a group and take heavy responsibility."
This is killing the chicken to scare the monkey.
"Take orders!"
Immediately, dozens of soldiers were arrested and beaten in public.
The two men were beheaded and their heads were hung on the sides.
"From today on, we will be under strict control."
Dou Zhong looked at the two grinning heads with a look of seriousness in his eyes. He glanced at Wei Zhong and asked, "What do you think, Old Wei?"
Wei Zhong knew that this guy wanted to cause trouble for him, so he said calmly: "That's what the general said."
Someone said: "General, if the Southern Xinjiang Army sets off, they should at least send someone to report it, right?"
Dou Zhong thought of Shi Zhongtang, whom he met last time. He seemed to be honest and honest. He might have driven Zhang Chumao to despair. How could he be honest?
He said coldly: "When we meet, I will naturally give him an explanation."
He was the emperor's confidant, while Shi Zhongtang was just the emperor's dog.
He knew this, and so did Shi Zhongtang.
"Is there any news from Northern Xinjiang?" Dou Zhong asked.
"General, Yang Xuan is currently stationed in Ningxing. It is said that the Shegu people have been dispatched."
Dou Zhong said: "The Shegu people are fierce. As long as they can hold off the Northern Xinjiang Army for a while, God will help me!"
He turned around and said, "Go and tell Chang'an to urge the southern Xinjiang army to go north. Go and tell your majesty that if Shi Zhongtang doesn't come again, once Yang Xuan defeats the Shegu people, I have no confidence in this battle!"
I rode several horses to Chang'an.
On the school field, the soldiers were obviously much more serious.
Dou Zhong watched with his hands folded, but his mind drifted to Chang'an.
At that time, the Dou family took the risk of siding with Li Mi, and the rewards after Conglong's success were huge and enviable. Many years later, the emperor gradually declined, and the Dou family faced the problem of a second choice.
From the current point of view, there is no doubt that the King of Yue has almost no opponents.
But behind the King of Yue was Yang Songcheng.
Naturally, the Yang family in Yingchuan for thousands of years would not do such things as eating alone, but behind Yang Songcheng stood a group of people. This group of people is called the aristocratic family, the powerful and powerful...
No matter how rich the merit of being a dragon is, the number of people sharing it will become less and less.
The Dou family had gained a lot back then, and now he was not willing to let Dou Zhong follow Yang Songcheng to eat leftovers. Moreover, he was Li Mi's confidant. If the matter of switching to Yang Songcheng came to light, Li Mi would be able to support his family.
Regret was born.
King Wei Dou Zhong shook his head slightly.
A prince who has no foundation for King Jing will have no hope unless the emperor wants to destroy the Tang Dynasty.
He frowned, and for a moment, he fell into a dilemma.
Although the King of Yue said he was the most powerful one, Dou Zhong knew very well that the emperor's temperament would not allow him to see such a situation. In this case, something might happen later.
That's all. Dou Zhong raised his head, wanting to see what the emperor meant first.
After the training was over, Wei Zhong returned to his room.
"General, a letter from Chang'an."
His entourage brought him two letters.
One is from a friend and the other is from my daughter Wei Linger.
Wei Zhong liked to save the good things for last, so he opened his friends' letters first.
In the letter, the friend introduced the current situation of Chang'an.
King Wei was imprisoned in the mirror, but the emperor did not act harshly.
The King of Yue has been very popular recently. Although he is low-key, there are so many people who can't stand it and seek refuge with him!
"There's a lot of traffic in front of the door?" Wei Zhong felt that the King of Yue was probably a little distressed at the moment and was worried about angering the emperor.
The emperor has been very diligent in his work recently. In a letter every three days, a friend ridiculed the emperor's behavior, saying that some people outside the world recently said that the so-called prosperous period of the Qian Dynasty was just a whitewash. The emperor therefore made a diligent decision.
The political attitude is a guilty conscience.
If the emperor is like this, what can the Tang Dynasty do?
The friend finally sighed.
Wei Zhong opened his daughter's letter.
Wei Ling'er first asked about her father's physical condition, and then talked about some trivial things at home, such as the fact that her nephew had been very naughty recently and broke his beloved water bottle, etc.
It was probably this girl who broke it... Wei Zhong raised the corner of his mouth slightly, thinking about how to use this to hurt his daughter after returning. But that girl would probably pretend to be a good girl, going in one ear and out the other!
But isn’t that the joy of being a father?
Later, Wei Ling'er mentioned the Chang'an army heading north.
Among them, Wei Linger talked about everything he saw in Northern Xinjiang.
11. The folk customs in Northern Xinjiang are fierce. Those people are always facing the invasion of Northern Liao. Everyone is extremely vicious. At least, they are more vicious than the people in Chang'an and Guanzhong.
11. Chang'an has recently been bragging about how powerful Dou Zhong is, exaggerating his experience of going to southern Xinjiang to practice.
Dou Zhong is not bad!
Wei Zhong smiled.
Aye, the Duke of Qin is the one who can destroy Bei Liao!
Wei Zhong was startled.
Aye, take this letter with you. If you are caught, take it out.
Do I still have to rely on my daughter to save my life?
Wei Zhong couldn't help but smile.
11. Last time the Duke of Qin came to Chang'an, I invited him to drink. During the dinner, I told him that if there was a fight, Aye's life must be saved.
Regardless of victory or defeat, why should Yang Xuan listen to you?
Wei Zhong couldn't help but shake his head, feeling that his daughter was stupid.
