Chapter 254: Heavy Casualties

Adhering to the principle of "be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years", Mr. Gong Buban led the retreat, rode the horse around the place and said in a deep voice: "Bald thief, when I go back to reorganize the armament, we will fight again in the future!" ”

Seeing him showing weakness, Tie Niu was overjoyed, but he put on a sneering look on his face and said: "My grandson wants to escape, but my grandfather is not good at staying." ”

Gong Buban's face was pale, and he snorted in his nose, gave up the battle with Tie Niu, and ordered: "Withdraw!" ”

"Are you all Brother Han's subordinates? Where is he? Seeing that the enemy army had retreated, Tie Niu immediately inquired about Han Yan'er's situation.

Xu Xianling has unknowingly become the backbone of everyone except Han Yan'er, and he is not pretentious at this moment, he first patted his robe, and then stepped forward and hugged his fists and said: "Dare to ask the general, but Marshal Liu is not Li Qianhu?" ”

His frank momentum of not answering the rhetorical question made Tie Niu look a little sideways, and he agreed angrily, "Come on, how is Brother Han?" Could it be ......?"

I have heard for a long time that this bald-headed and shirtless Li Qianhu is honest by nature, and when I saw it today, he was really a temperamental person who valued love and righteousness.

Xu Xian Ling secretly praised him in his heart, and then replied with his chin: "Li Qianhu rest assured, although Han Qianhu is seriously injured, his life is not affected for the time being. Just to behead the enemy general, he exhausted all his strength, and now he fainted. ”

Hearing that Han Yan'er did not lose his life, Tie Niu let go of his heart and breathed a long sigh of relief, but when he thought of the shocking and tragic battlefield that he had just passed, a trace of anxiety appeared on his rough face, and he said in a deep voice: "What about the other brothers? ”

Xu Xianling was stunned when he heard this question, and his mind appeared again with the persistent man who died in battle, the old man who carried to carry the galloping horse, and more comrades-in-arms who died in front of him one by one......

His eyes suddenly turned red, his throat was hard to bear, he cleared his throat vigorously and pointed to the people behind him, and said in a faint mournful voice: "Back to Li Qianhu, except for the dozen or so brothers who escorted Han Qianhu back first, there are only us left in the entire Shangcai. ”

"What did you say?" Even though Tie Niu had already anticipated the tragedy and tragedy of this battle, he didn't expect Shang Cai to be in a desperate situation!

If you are one step too late, the consequences will be unimaginable......

"Well, it's all my fault that I'm late." Tie Niu's mouth suddenly felt unprecedented bitterness, and he couldn't find the words to comfort them for a while, so he could only sigh and blame himself fiercely in his heart.

If it was said that when Han Yan'er said that Liu Futong would not send reinforcements, Shangcai's righteous army had a resentment in their hearts, but now when they saw Tie Niu's self-blame appearance, they immediately put away these resentments.

Rong asked bravely. Han Qianhu had said earlier that for the sake of the overall situation, Marshal Liu would not send reinforcements, so how could Li Qianhu arrive in time? Xu Xian Ling shrewdly sensed that there was something strange about this matter, so he asked bluntly.

"What do you say?" Iron Bull's eyes widened in disbelief.

Just as Xu Xianling frowned and hesitated to ask again, Tie Niu slapped himself on the head and exclaimed, "Okay, you Han Biter!" Hidden from all of us! ”

Xu Xian Ling also suddenly reacted to something, and said in a solemn voice: "What do you mean ......?"

"The Yuan army may attack at any time, let's go back to Shangcai first." Iron Bull was thick and fine at the moment, and forcibly calmed down and commanded.

Xu Xian Ling nodded, called everyone to follow Tie Niu's team, and returned to Shangcai together.

On the other hand, Gong Buban didn't expect that Brother Ye Su was really defeated, and he had been blushing all the way to withdraw his troops, and before he could think of countermeasures, he could already see the camp gate when he looked up.

"That's it, I'm out of luck this time. If you want to make meritorious contributions, you still have to rely on me, and you won't be embarrassed for me. After comforting himself silently in his heart, the distraught Gongbuban was forced to walk towards the line of Timur.

Also get drunk quickly first, and sober up quickly.

He had already received the news of Brother Su's defeat, and he was afraid of sitting in the center of the tent at the moment, but he was extremely glad that he had sent Gong Buban out after drinking nonsense.

"After all, he is an old minister in the court, I embarrassed him in public after drinking this time, and I have to appease him when he comes back. He must be able to clean up the remnants of the defeated army when he goes, and he doesn't know if he will throw his face when he returns with meritorious service...... "He was also thinking about it first, and Gong Buban, who came in a hurry, opened the tent curtain.

"The old general came back so quickly, he must have been wiped out?" Timur is also a long-time officialdom, and at this moment, in order to give this vanguard general who still needs to be used, he actually picked up the flattering smile that he had abandoned for many years.

Unexpectedly, Gong Buban knelt down on one knee directly with a "plop", his head tilted to the side, and he clasped his hands into fists and said in a low voice: "The last general failed to exterminate the thieves in one fell swoop, please punish the marshal." ”

I had never thought of such a result before, and after squinting my eyes to confirm that Gong Buban's appearance was not like pretending, I immediately thought about what attitude to treat him in my heart.

After thinking about it, he also pretended to be calm and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Gong Buban then recounted the events on the battlefield in detail, highlighting the strength of the Red Turban Army, the high force of the Iron Bull encountered, and how dedicated his own side were.

also disdained his narration in his heart, thinking that he clearly did not dare to fight to the death, and retreated timidly.

But after weighing it again and again in his heart, he still decided to give the veteran a favor, which was regarded as a compensation for his drunken gaffe.

Ye Xian's face immediately showed a smile, and his beard was curled, and he comforted: "The old general quickly and lightly, this matter is my drunken dereliction of responsibility, how can I blame you for it?" ”

This is a pun on two meanings.

One is to tell him that I will not punish you for this matter; The second is to remind him that you had better not mention my drunken gaffe again.

Although Gong Buban is a military general, he is also a delicate person, and he let go of the worries in his heart after thinking clearly and first speaking, and stood up with his support.

Gong Buban stood still and asked, "Has the marshal figured out how to return to the imperial court?" ”

also understood that Gong Buban was worried about his face and back, and replied after thinking about it: "I only said that General Ye Suge unfortunately died in battle and lost more than 1,000 soldiers, but he also managed to fight Cai's Red Turban Army with more than ninety percent casualties and 3,000 casualties. I wonder what the old general thinks? ”

After hearing this, Gong Buban solemnly saluted and said gratefully: "Thank you Marshal, I Gong Buban will definitely remember this kindness." ”
