They died before leaving the army, and before the official war began, they lost nearly 70,000 people, and An Chuhe even died on the battlefield.
This price was too heavy for Bai Yutian.
"Boom!" Bai Yutian seemed to have boundless killing intent, and anger rose in his eyes.
"According to my decree, the entire army will leave the city and attack Shanu Kingdom to avenge the death of the 70,000 soldiers and General An Chuhe."
Bai Yutian shouted loudly. At this time, he no longer cared about manners and etiquette, he just wanted to attack Shanu Kingdom.
"Your Majesty, please calm down."
Seeing Bai Yutian's appearance, Zhao Chuxue hurriedly stood up and admonished him.
Now that they have lost 70,000 people, Bai Yutian must not be impulsive anymore.
There are still 150,000 enemy troops outside. With 100,000 against 150,000, they have no chance of winning.
By then, if there is any loss, their situation will be even more dangerous.
"Seventy thousand soldiers and General An Chuhe cannot die in vain. Shanu Kingdom must pay the price."
Bai Yutian was still extremely angry and found it difficult to calm down.
Zhao Chuxue had no choice but to stand in front of Bai Yutian and block Bai Yutian's direction.
"Get away!"
"Your Majesty, you must calm down, we all need your leadership now!" Zhao Chuxue didn't seem to hear Bai Yutian's order, and still stood there without moving.
Seeing that Bai Yutian didn't respond, Zhao Chuxue took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, now is not the time to act on impulse."
"If you plan to leave the city to attack Shanu Kingdom now, then please step over Chuxue's body first."
Zhao Chuxue's attitude was very tough and she directly threatened her life.
Seeing this, Bai Yutian's mood finally calmed down a bit, and his eyes regained their clarity. He was almost blinded by anger.
However, the loss of Xin Huantuo and the loss of 70,000 soldiers and An Chuhe still pained Bai Yutian's heart.
After regaining his composure, Bai Yutian finally began to think calmly.
This is the first time he has suffered such a big loss since he started the war.
He underestimated the Shanu Kingdom too much. The last victory made Bai Yutian think that the Shanu Kingdom was no good.
But the current situation made him realize that Shanu Kingdom was not that simple. It was not without reason that it was able to win consecutive battles against Dazhou three years ago.
"What do you think?" Bai Yutian sat back in his seat and said to the people below.
Everyone looked at each other, but didn't know how to speak.
What else can they do? Now they can only place their hopes on Jing Ling.
"Your Majesty, although Gufengkou is easy to defend and difficult to attack, Marshal Xiao only has 30,000 remnant troops, most of whom are wounded, and have no food and grass. They cannot last for a few days. However, the enemy has a hundred thousand troops, strong soldiers and horses, and sufficient food and grass.
.”
The soldiers under Xiao Li who came to report the news knelt on the ground and said.
He is Xiao Li's confidant and has participated in several battles with Xiao Li. During the last offensive against Shanu Kingdom, he was also present. He saw with his own eyes that Xiao Li relied on his excellent military formation operations and leadership skills to conquer Shannu.
The slave country was beaten to pieces.
Therefore, he admired Xiao Li from the bottom of his heart and decided to follow Xiao Li forever.
Now there are only 100,000 defenders in Xishengzhou City. He is afraid that Bai Yutian will not support Xiao Li. In that case, Xiao Li will be finished.
"Your Majesty, we can't send any more troops." Yin Xi stood up and said.
He felt pain in his heart, but he also knew that Da Zhou had no advantage now.
Xinhuantuo was occupied, food and grass could not be transported out, and the 150,000 troops outside the city were also watching eagerly. How could they send troops?
"Your Majesty, now we can only defend Xishengzhou City and wait for the opportunity." Zhang Ci also said.
The timing he mentioned was naturally Jing Ling's task.
Although Xiao Li was besieged, it also gave Jing Ling an opportunity to take advantage of. With Jing Ling's strength, as long as he was not discovered, he would most likely complete the mission.
Xiao Li's soldiers raised their heads and looked around. After everyone saw the look in his eyes, they all avoided his sight, not wanting to look at him.
Except for Yin Xi and Zhang Ci, everyone else remained silent, clearly acquiescing to this proposal and planning to abandon Xiao Li's 30,000 remnant army.
"Your Majesty, generals, I also understand the difficulties at this moment. Please allow me to return to Gufengkou and contribute to General Xiao Li." Xiao Li's soldiers said.
Everyone was moved. They knew they would die ahead, but they still insisted on going their own way.
One hundred thousand versus thirty thousand, even adding him alone would not change anything at all.
The ants shake the tree, it is ridiculous but not self-respecting, and it is respectable but not self-respecting.
This is the integrity of the soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty and the pride of the soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty.
At this time, Bai Yutian raised his hand and scanned the entire audience. Everyone lowered their heads slightly and faced Bai Yutian.
"The responsibility for this mistake lies entirely with me and has nothing to do with you." Bai Yutian stood up and said.
This method was the one he and Yuncheng discussed together, and it was also the first one he proposed, so it can be regarded as Bai Yutian's idea.
"I am ashamed of General An Chuhe, I am ashamed of the 70,000 soldiers, and I am truly ashamed of all those who have trusted me."
After feeling guilty three times in a row, Bai Yutian burst into tears and reflected on his sins.
"Your Majesty is serious, this time it is Shanu Kingdom who is cunning..." Yin Xi started to say, but was interrupted by Bai Yutian.
"No, it's my fault." Bai Yutian said in a deep voice, "Therefore, I will never and cannot give up on Xiao Li and others."
Bai Yutian's words meant that he was preparing to rescue Xiao Li and others.
However, they basically have no troops available now, and the remaining people need to defend Xishengzhou City.
Everyone listened quietly, waiting for Bai Yutian's next words.
"Zhang Ci, you lead an army of 80,000 people out of the city, and you and Xiao Li should cooperate with each other. You must rescue Xiao Li. After that, you go to the mountain city first."
The mountain city is relatively close to Xishengzhou City, and both sides can support each other.
"But Your Majesty, do we have to abandon Xishengzhou City?" Yin Xi raised his head and asked.
How could the remaining 20,000 people defend Xishengzhou City?
Bai Yutian shook his head, "Xishengzhou City cannot be lost for the time being."
"The target of the Shanu Kingdom army is me, so I have to stay and buy time for you."
Bai Yutian understood that Shanu Kingdom would make capturing him alive as its first goal at any time, so his existence was where the main force of Shanu Kingdom was located.
An Chuhe vowed to protect Xinhuantuo to the death. Although the Shanu Kingdom occupied Xinhuantuo, they still paid a price of nearly 10,000 people.
80,000 people attacked 20,000 people, but nearly 10,000 people died. This was a high price for the Shanu Kingdom.
However, Bai Yutian's only worry now is whether Jing Ling and others have been discovered. If they are discovered, their situation will be even more dangerous.
Afterwards, Bai Yutian sent out all the Dragon Guards to inquire about the news of Xishengzhou and the movements of the Shanu Kingdom army at any time.
