Under Zhang Lie's arrangement, the army set out the next day. At this time, the battle report he sent to di du still mentioned the previous events tomorrow, and still only said that he was looking for Hu Qi's main force. The mighty army
Of course, the departure of the Cheetah Camp could not be hidden from those who were interested. Soon, Agudamu learned about the departure of the Cheetah Camp.
di du, it is no different from before. The only difference is that there are more soldiers and the soldiers on duty at the city gate are stricter. But if you look closely, you can see that there is still a lot of people inside, and they don’t feel that the war is getting closer.
The ministers in the DPRK did not feel any nervousness. They were waiting for the news of the return of the Cheetah Battalion from its victory.
Even under the instigation of some thoughtful people, the people of the Ministry of Rites have begun to prepare for the celebration of the army's return after victory. Although Yang Rui is anxious, after all, Hu Qi has broken through the defense line of northern Xinjiang and penetrated deep into the didu. But Yang Rui, deep down in his heart,
He does not think that the Cheetah Battalion will lose this war. In his opinion, victory is just a matter of time.
In the teahouses for the past two days, the people were also talking about the war. But they were talking about the war from the perspective of outsiders. From their tone, you could hear that they were talking about the war as if they were talking about the streets.
A widow stealing a man is just entertainment. War is too far away from them.
This morning, at the north gate of Di Du, the soldiers on duty put away their previous laziness, and their eyes were as bright as fire, as if every commoner entering the city was a spy of the barbarians. At this moment, horseshoes suddenly came from not far away.
The sound. The soldiers on duty were not surprised, because in the past few days, there were too many people coming and going to deliver news.
But when they got close, the soldiers on duty changed their expressions, because there were three small red flags behind the visitor. In the army, one flag was for emergency, two flags were for emergency, and three flags were for emergency. The guard on duty
Although the soldiers were very curious, they quickly drove the people away from the official road so that the visitors could go straight in.
The three cavalry were like the wind, not stopping at all, leaving only dust flying on the ground. The people who were queuing up saw the scene just now, but they began to lower their heads and whisper. Although the soldiers on duty were curious, they still restrained themselves and started again.
Organize order so that these people can enter the city quickly.
The three cavalry entered the didu and galloped along the official road. The rapid sound of horse hooves "ta da da da da" made the passing people confused. The three cavalry did not stop at all and kept running towards the military headquarters.
The soldiers on duty outside the Ministry of War had already heard the sound of horse hooves and didn't pay much attention.
Because during this period of time, news continued to be sent back to the Ministry of War, so the messengers also ran frequently. The three cavalry turned around the street, and the soldiers on duty outside the Ministry of War saw clearly the three small red flags behind them, and their faces turned red.
Kuangbian. These soldiers are all elites in the army, so they naturally know what this means.
The leader hurriedly turned his head and said to the people behind him: "Lao San, hurry up and inform Mr. Zhou." As soon as he finished speaking, a young soldier quickly ran towards the inside. In the blink of an eye,
, the three cavalrymen arrived at the door of the Ministry of War. Although the three cavalrymen tried hard to control the speed of their horses, the horses galloped for a long time and could not stop at once.
After forcibly reining in their horses, the three cavalrymen fell off their horses. The soldiers on duty outside the military headquarters hurriedly greeted them. The leader stepped forward and took a look, only to find that the three cavalrymen's horses were already frothing, and they had just been beaten.
The three people who helped them up had their faces covered with frost and their eyes were red. It was obvious that they had not slept for at least a day and a night.
In the palace, Yang Rui was discussing matters with several important officials of the court. Since it was not a "big dynasty", most of the officials worked in their respective yamen. Only a few qualified bosses were in the palace, talking to Yang Rui.
Rui discussed matters together. Naturally, this included Shang Yuwen Ao of the Ministry of War.
Suddenly, the door was opened. A eunuch pushed open the door and walked in. Immediately, several majestic eyes fell on him, making the eunuch almost unable to stand still. The person in this room was determined to
Why didn't this person who headed the empire make this eunuch nervous? Yang Rui frowned and said, "What's the matter?"
The eunuch said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, there are people from the Ministry of War outside who want to see Mr. Yuwen, saying that it is an extremely urgent matter." After saying that, the eunuch felt relieved. Being able to be known as such in this place
"Master Yuwen" is naturally only Yu Wen'ao.
After listening to the eunuch's words, Yang Rui nodded to Yuwen Ao. Yuwen Ao apologized and stood up. Naturally, the eunuch just followed Yuwen Ao quickly. The time he spent in the room felt like a year.
Outside, in addition to the imperial guards and eunuchs on duty, there was also an official who was constantly stamping his feet in place. If you look closely, you can see that this official's forehead is covered with cold sweat.
After seeing Yu Wen'ao come out, the official quickly stepped forward and saluted: "Sir." Seeing this official so panicked, Yu Wenji frowned and asked, "What makes you so panicked?" If it's normal,
This official would definitely lower his head, waiting for Yu Wen'ao's reprimand. Maybe he would still have a good time after Yu Wen'ao finished reprimanding him.
But today this official obviously didn't have the patience and interrupted Yu Wen Ao's words: "Sir, it's not good." After saying that, he took out a memorial from his arms and handed it to Yu Wen Ao. Yu Wen Ao naturally knew that he
Due to the temperament of his subordinates, seeing the person in front of him so panicked, the unhappiness of having his words interrupted was quickly dissipated.
After receiving the memorial, Yu Wenji opened it and read it carefully. But the more he read, the uglier Yu Wen Ao's face became. Finally, after reading it, Yu Wenji said to the person in front of him: "Go back first, I will be there soon."
"Bring it in to His Majesty." After saying that, without waiting for the official to react, he turned around and returned to the room.
Seeing Yu Wen Ao return, everyone's eyes were focused on Yu Wen Ao. However, seeing Yu Wen Ao's hurried steps and ugly face, a strong uneasiness flashed in their hearts. Soon, Yu Wen Ao returned.
When he arrived at his position, Yang Rui also felt that something was wrong. Before Yu Wen'ao could speak, he took the initiative to ask: "Ai Qing, what's the matter?"
Hearing Yang Rui's question, Yu Wen'ao didn't have time to take a breath, stood up quickly, and handed over the memorial he had just received. Seeing this, the old eunuch next to Yang Rui hurriedly walked down, took the memorial, and handed it over
Yang Rui and the others were all very curious about the contents of the memorial, since Yu Wen'ao was so out of sorts.
Yang Rui took the memorial and opened it quickly, but his expression became worse and worse. Finally, Yang Rui left the memorial on the ground, his face turned pale, and he said: "Damn it, damn it, everything must be damned"
, the bosses below did not dare to sit any longer and stood up quickly.
Yang Rui gasped for air, showing his anger. Except for Yu Wen'ao, the other people all focused on the memorial that was thrown on the ground. They didn't know what was written on it, so Yang Rui
So angry. At this time, the old eunuch next to him came to Yang Rui and kept patting Yang Rui on the back.
I don't know how long it took for Yang Rui's face to slowly return to normal. The people below were also uncomfortable, and their legs felt numb when standing. After recovering, Yang Rui saw that the people below were still standing, and he was not angry.
He said: "Everyone sit down." After hearing Yang Rui's words, several people breathed a sigh of relief, then thanked them in unison and sat down again.
Yang Rui seemed to have no strength to point to the memorial that was still on the ground, and said, "Look at it all." After saying that, he stopped talking. The memorial that was thrown on the ground was picked up and circulated in turn.
.But everyone who has seen it has an ugly face. This look makes people who have not seen it feel like they are bitten by ants.
Finally, the last big boss finished reading the memorial, then carefully closed it and put it on the table. His face was also extremely ugly. At this time, he finally understood why everyone who read it before
The faces of the people are extremely ugly, because the matters reported above are too important.
The memorial was written by Guo Nu, the lieutenant general of Tieying Camp. It only stated one thing, and that was that the Cheetah Battalion had almost been wiped out. Back to three days ago, Guo Nu was patrolling the army. The three major forces of the Beijing Army
Battalion, Huwei Battalion was withdrawn to Di Du to strengthen the defense of Di Du; Cheetah Battalion was ordered to attack, while Guo Nuthief led Iron Eagle Battalion to launch defense to the north of Di Du.
Such an arrangement involved too much in the court. Although Guo Nu was dissatisfied, he also understood that such a result was not something he could change. Although he was dissatisfied, Guo Nu still tried his best to restrain the soldiers. On this day, he was
During the training camp, I was told that there were several broken soldiers outside the camp, saying they were from the Cheetah Battalion.
Guo Nu did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly took several people into the main tent and interrogated them carefully. However, the result surprised him. These soldiers were really soldiers of the Cheetah Battalion. According to these soldiers,
According to what Zhu said, the Cheetah Battalion had almost been wiped out. Such a big thing made Guo Nu panic. But soon, Guo Nu calmed down.
The words of these defeated soldiers were too horrifying, but Guo Nu did not think that the entire 30,000-strong army would be defeated by Hu Qi, who was more than 10,000, so Guo Nu believed that these defeated soldiers were scattered in order to survive.
, exaggerating the facts. But in the next two days, more defeated soldiers escaped in twos and threes.
For the sake of safety, these defeated soldiers were questioned separately, but they all said in unison that not many of the Cheetah Battalion had been wiped out. Such a result shocked Guo Nu. He knew that the situation in front of him had already changed.
It was not something he could handle, so he ordered the soldiers to be on guard and sent someone back to Di Du quickly to report the news.
Defeated, defeated, actually defeated like this, the 30,000 elite Beijing troops were defeated like this. For a long time, no one said a word. The atmosphere in the room was terrifyingly dull. Before, no one thought that the Cheetah Battalion would
They were defeated, but the bloody fact was a slap in the face to everyone. The elite 30,000 Beijing troops, who they had high hopes for, were defeated like this, and almost the entire army was annihilated.
But the people in the room were not ordinary people. These people had experienced too much, so they quickly regained their ladylike appearance, and then they all focused on Yang Rui, waiting for Yang Rui.
decision, but Yang Rui was obviously absent-minded and did not notice the looks of several people at all.
As a last resort, several people's eyes focused on Yu Wen'ao from Yang Rui. After all, Yu Wen'ao was the Minister of War and had been on the battlefield, so he knew soldiers well. At this juncture, several people were very self-aware.
Feeling the gazes of several people, Yuwen Ao stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the situation is urgent now and a quick decision is needed."
Hearing Yu Wen'ao's words, Yang Rui finally came to his senses and asked without any opinion: "I only see Yi Aiqing, what should I do?"
Clearing his throat, Yu Wen'ao said: "The top priority should be for the Iron Eagle Battalion to quickly return to Di Du and strengthen Di Du's defensive strength." Yang Rui nodded and said with a tired look on his face: "Just do what Ai Qing said.
.”
At this time, another big boss said: "Your Majesty, please issue an edict to the emperor immediately, so that the border troops can quickly return to defense." Yang Rui nodded and said, "Just follow Aiqing's words." Yuwen Ao next to him listened.
His face was filled with sadness. Yu Wen Ao was a man who knew how to fight. Naturally, he knew that the 10,000 Hu Qi who had infiltrated could not defeat Di Du.
However, the rest of the people obviously don't think so. Di Du is the capital of the Qin Dynasty, and the current His Majesty is also in Di Du. If something happens, no one can bear the responsibility. No one dares to take this risk.
Yu Wen Ao seemed to suddenly understand that the purpose of the barbarian attack this time was to have these 10,000 barbarians appear in front of him.
Then forcing the border troops to return to defense, there must be traps carefully prepared by the Hu people on the way. Although he knew this, Yuwen Ao could not stop him, because if he objected, he could not afford the consequences. Not only his enemies would take advantage of this opportunity
A blow, and even Yang Rui will be dissatisfied with himself
The other big guys left the room quickly, because there were still a lot of things waiting for them to deal with. But Yuwen Ao left the room, but did not leave immediately, but looked to the north, thinking in his heart
But there was constant silence. He knew very well that from now on, Northern Xinjiang would be destroyed, and the era of war was coming.
Yang Rui was also very depressed at this time. Last time, Yu Jin, the commander of the reinforcements who went north, and Zhang Lie, the Zhonglang General of the Cheetah Battalion this time, were both from the Forbidden Army, and Yang Rui single-handedly promoted them both physically and mentally.
Yes, but these two people failed him together. They were both defeated in a mess.
Yang Rui could imagine how difficult it would be for a general to command troops from the Forbidden Army next time. The courtroom would be flooded with Yan Guan's saliva. At this time, Yang Rui couldn't help but think of that young man.
Shadow, he hasn't lost a single battle since his special promotion.
Ever since the memorial was sent out, Guo Nu has been restless. The news about the defeated soldiers who were taken in a few days ago has spread among the army, and the mood of the soldiers has gradually become unstable. After waiting for two days, he finally waited for Di
Du's order asked him to lead the Iron Eagle Battalion to return to Di Du quickly. After receiving the order, Guo Nu did not dare to neglect and gave the order in a hurry.
The soldiers who received the order had expressions of relief on their faces and worked quickly, hoping to break off and set off quickly. They understood that they and the Cheetah Battalion were evenly matched. Since Hu Qi could kill almost all of the Cheetah Battalion, they themselves
Even if you fill it in, you won't get any good results.
The news brought back by Guo Nu's memorial also slowly spread. The first to know were naturally the officials of Di Du. When they learned that the Cheetah Battalion was defeated, these officials collectively lost their voices. Before, they had never thought of the Cheetah Battalion.
will be defeated. However, the fact now is that the Cheetah Battalion was not only defeated, but almost completely wiped out.
After a brief silence, the officials began to talk continuously. Some advocated that the fight must continue and continued to send troops; others advocated that the safety of the enemy was the most important. In short, they could say anything. But they were just talking.
That's all, because the general direction has already been determined in that room.
Then, the news that the Cheetah Battalion was wiped out spread, and the whole di du was boiling. But some people didn't believe it, thinking it was a rumor. But as the Iron Eagle Battalion entered the di du, these people who didn't believe it,
We can only face the cruel fact that the Cheetah Battalion was really defeated. Soldiers came and went, and a large number of equipment was taken out of the warehouse.
For the first time, the people of Di Du felt that the war was so close to them. Some smart people, when there were first rumors, took their children and fled southward. They entered Tieying Camp
On the third day of di du, the doors on all sides of di du finally closed slowly during the day.
This pass has made many people regret it. Now they want to go out, but they can't. Those who haven't made it are very envious of those who have left long ago, and at the same time they also secretly regret why they didn't react earlier.
.The people of Di Du who had never experienced war began to panic. All this was so strange to them.
After a short period of chaos, the imperial court finally took action. Notices to reassure the people were quickly posted all over the streets and alleys. The notices simply said that the barbarians could not get in, and the border troops from northern Xinjiang were returning day and night for reinforcements.
After the announcement of Anmin was made, most people chose to believe it, but there were still a small number of people who saw some clues.
The people in di du believed it, but they didn't stop rushing to buy goods. These common people didn't know what the big deal was, and other people were desperately buying. Naturally, they also joined the rush-buying team. Prices continued to be lowered.
The price of food has increased even more every day, and many rice shops have been sold out.dd
