Zhang Mo and the others were stunned for a moment. They looked at Qiao Louming, who was looking troubled a dozen steps away, and they thought about it for a moment and understood what was going on.
Zhang Mo took a few deep breaths, suppressed the anger in his heart, and forcibly controlled his emotions.
"Qiao Louming, before setting off for the expedition, you signed a military order with my commander in front of your kings, and you will unconditionally obey any military orders from my commander.
Now that you have betrayed your trust, aren't you afraid that the commander-in-chief of this government will engage you in military law?
Don’t forget, Dalong is your suzerain country.”
"Alas... Zhang Fushuai, we all understand what you said, but we still can't obey your orders.
The general said the same thing, if you continue to fight, we will definitely retreat with all our strength. If you want to return the army to the court, the general and others will not only be unable to follow, but will block your journey."
"Are you—are you going to rebel?"
"I don't dare, we are just following orders."
"You should be listening to the command of my commander now! If you disobey the order, don't you know what will happen after you return to the Western Region?"
Qiao Louming and the others were stunned and looked at each other for a few times. They were silent for a moment with struggling eyes, but still shook their heads at Zhang Mo.
"Commander Zhang, please forgive me for not obeying my order."
"Aren't you afraid of death?"
"Afraid, but we still dare not obey your orders.
We still say what we said, we will continue the Northern Expedition, we will obey orders, and we will return to the court with our troops, but it is difficult for us to obey orders!"
"You...huh..."
Zhang Mo gritted his teeth and sighed, forcing his hands not to touch the weapon at his waist: "Qiao Louming, Gu Moqing, Wan Shishu... Do you think that my great dragon is in a weak position now?
Do you want to be disloyal? I tell you, my commander-in-chief, if I can conquer you once, I can conquer you a second time.
It's not too late to step back from the brink.
Don't end up sacrificing the lives of more than 100,000 soldiers behind you because of your own wrong decision.
Since you returned to the court with my commander-in-chief and rushed to the aid of the imperial court, you have all the soldiers in our court. I do not deny that my commander-in-chief has been a little harsher on you.
But I can honestly say that I have never treated you, my commander, in the slightest wrong.
Now that our country is in crisis, we urgently need you to come to our rescue, King Qin. What is the purpose of this trick between you and me?
Now you should immediately command the troops and horses under your command and continue to return to the country with me to help the king. I can still pretend that nothing happened.
However, there is no turning back when you draw a bow. If you continue to be ignorant, don't say that I will not show mercy to you.
Military law and the military orders you have issued alone will not spare you.
Which one is more serious, do you still need me to explain it to you in detail?"
Qiao Louming and other generals from the Western Regions looked at each other with sad and confused expressions for a long time.
Gu Mo Qing, the general of Gu Mo Kingdom, was the first to shake his head: "Commander Zhang, it's useless now what the general and others say.
It's not that we don't want to listen to your orders, it's that we don't dare to listen to your orders.
If you make an expedition to the north, we will accompany you life and death. If you retreat, we will definitely not follow you.
Sometimes we dare not disobey your orders, but we have to listen to Marshal Liu's orders."
The strange situation on the battlefield not only confused the cavalry of the two countries, Jintu and Tujia, who were hanging several miles away waiting for an opportunity to attack, but also the generals of the Northern Expedition such as Yunyang who commanded the battle formation were shocked.
It has been agreed that we will try our best to prevent the cavalry of the two countries from attacking the retreating troops, and you will go all out to withdraw from the battlefield to support the capital.
The attack had just begun, so why did it stop three or four miles away without any warning and not continue to retreat?
"Commander, what's going on? Zhang Mo, what's going on with Brother Nangong and the others? Why are they stopping there?"
Looking at the deputy commander Wan Mingliang running towards him holding the command flag and opening his mouth to ask, Yunyang shook his head in confusion.
"I am also full of doubts now and don't know what happened.
Those who should attack stopped several miles away without moving, and those who should withdraw also stopped several miles away without moving.
I don't even know what happened.
Damn it, forget it, you lead a team of troops to inquire about the situation, and I will continue to direct the soldiers to immediately deploy artillery arrays, crossbows and other weapons while the enemy does not launch a charge."
"Got the order!"
Zhang Mo also understood that the current situation had attracted everyone's attention. He took a deep breath and glanced coldly at the Western Region generals who were more than ten steps away.
"I'm asking you for the last time, if you really don't want to come with me..."
"Shuai Zhang, please don't embarrass them.
If they don't follow you to northern Xinjiang, they may die if they disobey the order.
But if they follow you and attack back to northern Xinjiang, not only will they die, but the country will also perish."
The sound of galloping horses, mixed with the soft and hearty words, reached the ears of Zhang Mo and others.
Everyone subconsciously turned their heads and looked towards the south. Qiao Louming and others' straight bodies on their horses suddenly relaxed, and looked towards the south like Zhang Mo and others.
Hundreds of gray-robed men in fine attire and bamboo hats came rushing towards the beautiful figure who was galloping on horseback in front of them.
"Hush!"
In a matter of seconds, hundreds of horses stopped firmly in the center of Zhang Mo, the four of them, and the generals from the Western Regions.
The beautiful figure at the front took off her bamboo hat, revealing the heroic appearance of Mo Rongrong, the aunt of the King of Gumo, under the veil.
"Shuai Zhang, long time no see!"
"Gu Mo Rong...King, what do you mean?"
"It's not interesting. Commander Zhang doesn't need to think too much! He came to help with the order of Dalong, King Liu Mingzhi.
During the Northern Expedition, we, the countries in the Western Regions, spared no effort to help, withdraw our troops, and delay the opportunity without damaging the face of the suzerain country."
"You...it turns out that...it turns out that you have long..."
Gumo Rongrong looked at Zhang Mo's struggling eyes, sighed and shook her head.
"Commander Zhang, to put it bluntly, the evil reputation you have left in our Western Region countries is less than one-tenth of the reputation left by Commander Liu.
During the Western Expedition of the past years, Marshal Liu's attitude of destroying cities and annihilating countries has long been engraved in the bones of us generals in the Western Regions.
If we don't listen to you, we may all shed blood on the battlefield. If we don't listen to him, maybe even the country will be destroyed in the future.
Which is more important, we have to make a choice!
Zhang Fushuai, I’m sorry!”
Zhang Mo finally understood why these generals from the Western Regions behaved like this.
After being in a daze for a long time, Zhang Mo looked at Nangong Ye, Wu Maoyun and the three of them, with a hint of bewilderment in his eyes.
The sound of war drums and horns is still exciting.
But the atmosphere on the battlefield became strange.
The war drums boosted the morale of the troops, and the trumpets boosted morale, but none of the soldiers and horses started to charge, and they all stood there motionless.
"Ula!"
"Ula!"
"Ula!"
In the grassland wilderness where only war drums and horns were mixed, three high-pitched shouts suddenly came from the north, which immediately attracted everyone's attention and subconsciously looked towards the north.
Under the strange gazes of hundreds of thousands of troops from several directions, a long black shadow dragon appeared in the wilderness in the north.
"Ula!"
A black shadow gradually appeared in front of several soldiers and horses. Everyone could see the Turkic Wolf Flag at a glance. There was also a strange-looking flag that no one had ever seen or heard of.
Many generals came to their senses as they looked at the approaching 100,000 soldiers and horses, and subconsciously raised their telescopes to look.
The generals on Dalong's side were confused when they saw the familiar cavalry dressed as Turks and the strange-looking and tall soldiers and horses beside the Turks.
I don't know what's going on with this army.
"Spicemult?"
Wanyan Chiezha and Hu Yanyu looked at the appearance of one of the commanders in the mirror and exclaimed in unison.
Hu Yanyu put down the lens in his hand blankly and looked at Wanyan Chiezha: "Didn't it mean that after the fall of the Western Turks, Spismult, the conquered Khan, was captured alive by your Princess Luoyue outside Muzhou City?
Did he? Why did he appear here, and there are so many soldiers and horses?
And what's going on with the soldiers and horses next to him? Why do they look stronger than us Turkic warriors?"
"Um... Back then, Yue'er and the Minister of War, Songhe, really planned to capture Spismult alive in Songzhou and Muzhou. However, they noticed the news and immediately fled away. Yue'er
I don't even know where I went.
We in Dajin thought they were destroyed by your subsequent encirclement and suppression!"
"Ula!"
The nearly 800,000 elite soldiers and horses from the Great Dragon, Turks, and Jin Kingdoms stared blankly at the soldiers and horses holding up their swords and shouting loudly that they could not understand what they meant. Their eyes gradually became strange.
A strong general under the Wolf banner looked at the more than 200,000 troops and horses on the left, but because of the angle of the slope, he ignored the hundreds of thousands of cavalry on both sides!
"Murt, is this the strong soldier you are talking about?
They are as skinny as monkeys!
Now I am more and more confident to help you regain your throne, don't forget the gold you promised me."
