Night is approaching, Chaijiapo Xirong military camp, partial tent.

"General, the losses of our army have been counted." Captain Wan came in to report.

"Say it!" Ge Qi said with a melancholy face.

"According to statistics, nine thousand four hundred and eighty-seven people have returned to the camp so far, and more than half of them have lost even their weapons and armor; There were also eight hundred and thirty-two horses. The captain replied.

"Where's the grain and grass? How many days will it last? ”

"It can last for two days at most, and if there is no way to solve the grain and grass after two days, you can only kill horses to satisfy hunger."

"Bang!" Geer Qi angrily slapped the simple book case and said: "I really didn't expect that my 30,000 army would suffer such heavy losses. ”

"General, what should we do next? If the Yongjun army takes advantage of this attack, our army will not be able to stop it! Captain Wan said to Geer Qi.

Geer Qi did not answer directly, but asked the commander, "Then what do you say Ben should do?" ”

"General, my subordinates think that our army should immediately withdraw back to the camp in Wangyang; In this battle, our army's vitality was not only greatly damaged, but also its morale was also seriously damaged, and it was not easy to fight again because of its low morale. Captain Wanli suggested.

"The general is also withdrawing his troops! But this general is not the only one in this army who has the final say! Ge Qi sighed with a sad face: "Hey! ”

The commander said angrily: "If it weren't for him, why would we have been so defeated, and it doesn't matter what he did." ”

"He's the son of a handsome, whether he can do it?" Geer Qi said: "You don't have to worry about this matter, I will send someone to explain the battle situation to the marshal, and temporarily garrison here to wait for the marshal's further military orders; Tomorrow you will take your brothers into the mountains to hunt for military rations. ”

"No! Subordinates receive orders. The captain said: "The subordinates retired." ”

Before the commander of the tent came out, a black shadow disappeared from the tent, and this person appeared in Murong Ke's Chinese army tent, muttering in Murong Ke's ear.

Murong Ke's face instantly became extremely ugly, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Ge Qi, this bastard, dares to disobey the military orders of this young marshal, Lao Tzu will kill him sooner or later." ”

In the Huangyang Pass, the war is still raging.

At this time, Huangyang Pass has become a blood mill, the two sides in the Huangyang Pass in the short hand to each other, not an inch of land, Yongjun relying on superior forces, take turns to fight, not only greatly consumed the Xirong army, but also to the purpose of training troops in battle, the Xirong army is basically in the role of sparring.

In the lobby of the town guard mansion, all the officers above the rank of captain in Huangyang Pass have arrived.

"At this time, I have brought you here, because I have good news for you." Guo Qi sat on the handsome chair and said with a smile: "This king has just received a battle report, Sun Guoqing led the Yongnan troops to defeat the Xirong South Route Army at the threshold stone, and has already crippled it......"

"I'll go, this old grandson is too good!" Hu Qiongyan said.

"Yes! It's really good, these are all the elites under Murong Chui! It's almost all gone. Tang Bi said.

"Lord, after this battle, I'm afraid that the Xirong South Route Army is no longer able to attack Chencang, do you see if you transfer the soldiers from Yongnan to us to replenish it!" Hu Qiong suggested.

"Yes! My lord, in the past few days of street fighting, our army has suffered huge casualties, and we urgently need to replenish our troops! Tang Bi also said.

"How many soldiers are there in Huangyang Pass?"

"My lord, where the war started, our army gathered a total of 70,000 troops in Huangyang Pass, including Yajun Guard, Hussar Guard, Wufu Soldiers, 20,000 Tuntian Soldiers and 30,000 Qingzhuang, but now the casualties have reached more than 27,000 people." Hu Qiongyu reports.

"In other words, we still have more than 40,000 soldiers who can fight."

"Exactly."

"What about the Xijon Army? How many troops do you think the Xijon army still has now? Guo Qi then asked.

"My lord, the last general thinks that the current strength of the Xirong army should be on par with our army." Tang Biyan said.

"Tell me more."

"My lord, my lords, generals; When the Xijon army marched eastward, it had an army of 150,000; So far, he has not been ambushed, and he has attacked Huangyang Pass at night, losing 30,000 horses; Murong Chui stormed Huangyang and lost around 40,000 troops; The 30,000 elites who led Murong Ke's army south were crippled again; In addition, the consumption of street battles in the past few days is estimated to be about 10,000 people, so Murong Chui's available soldiers are about 40,000; However, the battle line of the Xirong army is too long, and the rear also needs to be left behind, and the number of troops that can really be put into attack is only 30,000. Tang Bi analyzed.

"Tang Bi's analysis is very good, and the results are the same as those of this king." Guo Qi said with a smile: "This battle has reached the most critical moment so far, we and Murong Chui are both patient in attrition, whoever has stronger endurance will be able to win the final victory." ”

"But my lord, the Xirong Khanate is not only these troops under the command of Murong Chui! If Xijon increases its troops on a large scale, it may not be easy for our army to achieve the final victory! Hu Qiong reminded Guo Qi.

"There are reinforcements in Xijon, don't we have reinforcements? This king has reported the battle in Huangyang to His Majesty, and His Majesty will send reinforcements in the near future. Guo Qi said confidently: "Even if the imperial army arrives a day or two late, we have other reinforcements!" ”

"It's great that the imperial court can send troops to rescue in time."

"Yes! Oh, yes! As soon as the imperial army arrives, we will win this battle. ”

……

The generals said word by word.

"My lord? You just said that in addition to the imperial court reinforcements, we have other reinforcements? Chen Feng asked puzzled.

"Li Wu will introduce it to everyone." Guo Qi said with a smile.

"Generals, in order to prevent the shortage of our army's wartime troops, the lord has reformed the slave soldiers captured during the war, and there are currently 12,000 slave soldiers ready to go into battle at any time." Li Wu said impassionedly.

"Lord, are these slave soldiers reliable?" Hu Qiong asked; "Don't turn against each other when the time comes."

"General Hu, rest assured, these slave soldiers are absolutely reliable." Li Wu said very confidently.

Li Wu didn't tell them that these slave soldiers had been completely brainwashed by Guo Qi, and now these slave soldiers have a monstrous hatred for the Xirong people and the Xirong army, and they have a common hatred! In fact, Guo Qi's brainwashing of them is very simple, that is, let them complain and say all the things they have suffered in the Xirong Khanate, this kind of thing is that the more they talk about it, the more they hate it.

"Fifth son, tomorrow send these slave soldiers into the battlefield in batches, and tell them that if they want to take revenge and live a good life, they will come back with the head of the Xirong army to this king, and this king will give them land and knighthood, and all the treatment will be the same as that of our soldiers."

"No! Commanded by humility. ”

Outside Huangyang Pass, inside the camp of the Xirong Army.

"Waste, a bunch of waste, the 30,000 elites of Ben Shuai! Just let them be buried like this, they are extremely incompetent...... "Murong Chui scolded angrily: "Murong Ke, Ge Qi, let the two of them die, go to death......"

After Murong Chui finished getting angry, Su Bubi, who was standing outside the tent, came in.

"What's the matter?" Murong Chui didn't bother to look at it, and asked directly with his eyes closed.

"Marshal, if there is no follow-up reinforcements, Huangyang Pass will not be able to fight anymore, this Huangyang Pass is like a bottomless pit, constantly consuming our army's ......"

"Bang!" Murong Chui was furious again, like an angry lion, and said: "You actually want Ben Shuai to withdraw his troops, do you know how much Ben Shuai has invested in attacking Huangyang Pass?" It took such a huge amount of money to attack the Huangyang Pass, and it was about to be taken, and you actually let the commander withdraw the army, what kind of heart do you have......"
