"Call them up, and I'll ask them myself. Ye Shikai didn't react for a while, his mind was blank, and he felt that as long as his body moved slightly, he would fall to the ground.

"Wow. ”

More than a dozen team members walked into the camp, and their faces did not show the slightest joy at completing the task, on the contrary, their whole bodies trembled, as if a great disaster was coming.

"What the hell is going on, why didn't Xue San come back. Ye Shikai calmed down a little, and his voice became a little hoarse.

"Back to General Ye, at that time...... We were discovered by the Qin army, Commander Xue ordered us to start in advance, during the fierce battle, we suffered several casualties, and finally we found that there were still a few warehouses that were not lit, Commander Xue snatched our ignition and rushed directly to order us...... Remove...... Retreat, and when we finished putting the flares, we found that the commander had fallen into the encirclement of the Qin army, hid in a warehouse, and then ...... Then ......"

"And what, hurry up. Ye Shikai slammed the table and shouted.

"Commander Xue set the warehouse on fire, and the Qin army ...... All of them are gone. ”

"It can't be, how could he be surrounded like this. Ye Shikai roared excitedly.

"It's true, we saw it with our own eyes. ”

"I saw why didn't you save it. Ye Shikai pulled out his sword suddenly, and was almost about to kill someone, but Shangguan Jian and the guards hurriedly stopped him.

"Yes...... It was Commander Xue who ordered us to retreat, and the brothers wanted to save each other desperately, but ......"

"Okay, Lao Ye, the brothers are not greedy for life and afraid of death, we are very sad that this kind of thing happened, but even if they go to save it, it will only increase the casualties. "Shangguan Jian is still the calmest person, when he was in Dongjun before, Xue San was injured by an arrow during the reconnaissance and couldn't retreat, there was no news, Ye Shikai was also quite anxious, but it was useless to be anxious, Shangguan Jian was also very uncomfortable now, but there was no way, there were no immortals in the war, Xue San should have been prepared to die before acting......

"Go down, all of you. Shangguan Jian waved his hand and motioned for more than a dozen team members to step down, Ye Shikai was very depressed and sat directly on the ground.

"General Ye, the three Xue brothers were killed, and they were also very uncomfortable after hearing about it, the lord will definitely give him a good burial, now that the two armies are facing each other, it is a critical moment, and I hope that General Ye will focus on the overall situation." Huo Ziqing stepped forward and persuaded.

"Yes, Lao Ye, focus on the overall situation, otherwise...... More brothers will die. ”

After a lot of time, Ye Shikai calmed down, and everyone retreated, leaving him alone in the camp tent and letting him be quiet alone.

Until now, Ye Shikai didn't want to believe the fact that Xue San was killed, they didn't bring back the body, Ye Shikai still believed that the miracle was still there.

"Lao Ye, you haven't eaten dinner, are you hungry, or eat something. "In the middle of the night, Shangguan Jian asked the guards to bring chicken soup.

"Lao Ye, are you okay. ”

"Don't worry, I'm fine. Ye Shikai waved his hand, as a commander, he must not show his "soft" side in front of all the sergeants.

"Lao Ye, the brothers of the squad have already set off, they can't let go of Xue San, they insist on seeing people alive and corpses when they die, even if the three Xue brothers are really killed, they have to bring the corpses back, I didn't stop them. ”

"Let them go, I don't blame them, I was too excited just now. Remembering that when he first met Xue San, he was just a gangster in the rivers and lakes, just because of a promise, he was willing to follow Ye Shikai to life and death, although he was not a big man like Mancang, but his loyalty was not inferior to him at all.

"Lao Ye, you don't need to be so pessimistic, the third brother Xue has a lot of ideas, maybe he has already escaped. ”

"Okay, don't comfort me anymore, I believe in Xue San. Ye Shikai stood up again, he believed that Xue San would not die so easily, even if something unfortunate really happened, he could not reverse it, Xue San was his brother, if he died, Ye Shikai would erect a monument for him.

Following.

"Listen to the sergeant above, you have no food, if you continue like this, even if you don't die in battle, you will starve to death, quickly open the door and surrender. ”

"Surrender quickly, your generals have fled behind your back, and there is no need for you to stay and die for them. ”

In the past two days, Ye Shikai asked the sergeants to take turns to shout in front, and there were complaints within the Qin army, regardless of whether they were true or not, these words were like a plague in the Qin army camp "spread", and the power of gossip was terrifying, sometimes more terrible than a sword......

"Lao Ye, what should you do if the Qin army inside doesn't believe what we say, if they stick to it, won't we be in vain. ”

"Don't worry, they'll believe it. Ye Shikai said lightly.

"Why are you so sure? ”

"Qin Jun only cooks twice a day now, each person is just a steamed bun, plus a bowl of porridge with clear rice grains, Qin Jun is not a fool, they all understand that this must be their own internal food shortage, not to mention, the movement of burning grain at that time was so big, it is impossible for them not to be unaware. ”

"I see. ”

"For the sergeants who marched to war, there was no food, and there was no need for us to attack the fortress, and they were defeated. ”

"Lao Ye, then when are we going to attack the village, the lord seems to be a little impatient, and the morale of the army is now strong, if it drags on, I am afraid that I will miss the opportunity. Shangguan Jian persuaded him.

"Well, I think it's about the same time. Ye Shikai looked at the camp of the Qin army from afar, many sergeants were already sitting on the ground paralyzed, it seems that the feeling of running out of food is really uncomfortable, in fact, as long as the food is cut off for three days, there will definitely be people who can't bear it, if there is enough time, the food will last for more than a week, and they will not even have the strength to defend the village.

The most critical point, Ye Shikai calculated the time, from the day he conquered Deng County, it has been ten days, according to the calculation, the counties in the Central Plains have begun to gather soldiers, horses, grain and grass, and then drag it out, although it is beneficial to Ye Shikai locally, but it is not good for them in the overall situation.

"Gather the whole army and prepare for a night attack, tonight I will take the front camp of the Qin army, in addition, inform the other generals that after I conquer the front camp, I will cover up the whole army and occupy the various strongholds in the rear of the Qin army, so that even if the 50,000 Qin army is not wiped out, it will be a big loss of vitality, and the south of the Zhao River will all belong to the lord. Ye Shikai ordered in a low voice.

"Great, Zheng Lang doesn't have this 50,000 army, and the territory north of the Zhao River is difficult to protect, we can take the entire Nanyang County in one fell swoop by pursuing the victory. ”
