Chapter 73: Burning the Barracks "Ask for a reward, ask for a recommendation ticket!" 》
The night wind is cold and cold, and the fire is full of fire.
All the soldiers in the camp of Fengyun Country were immersed in fear, because of the night wind, the fire continued to spread, and the entire right-wing battalion was devastated by the fire, and the camp tent was nine out of ten.
Gongsun Baxiong rang out angrily, Liu Qingcang, Gongsun Xun, and Ying Zhan were all shocked, and their eyes all converged on his figure.
"General, what's wrong?"
"The new emperor of Zichu sent people to burn down the right wing camp of our army without knowing it, and all our attention is here now, it seems that the left wing camp will not be spared tonight."
"What!"
"The general means that there will also be a sneak attack by the enemy army in the left flank camp tonight?"
Ying Zhan looked shocked, a look of anxiety rose in his eyes, an incredible voice sounded, and he turned around and prepared to plunder the left flank camp.
"General Yingzhan, Xun'er, the two of you quickly return to the left flank camp, and once you find the traces of the enemy, you will spare no effort to kill them all!"
"The last general obeys!"
"The child obeys!"
Gongsun Ba looked at the backs of the two leaving, and a strong anger rose in the tiger's eyes, and he couldn't help but feel jealous of Chu Feifan, who had not yet met.
"Zichu New Emperor, it really can't be underestimated!"
"Not to mention taking Anyang City in just a few days, it is possible to make such a military deployment so quickly and intercept our army here, I really don't know what will happen next!"
"Don't worry, General, I've already sent someone to pursue the assassins, and I'm sure there will be news soon that they won't be able to escape."
Liu Qingcang looked frightened, feeling the murderous aura released from Gongsun Ba's figure, his figure trembled unconsciously, and said in a firm voice.
"General Liu, who did you send to pursue the Assassins?"
"General Yu, the halberd chief Su Bai has led a thousand iron horsemen to the Purple Bamboo Forest, and the last general is confident that Su will be able to capture the assassin!"
Hearing Liu Qingcang's voice, the fire of anger on Gongsun Ba's cold face became even stronger, if it weren't for the fact that the pre-battle killing of the generals would affect morale, Liu Qingcang would already be a corpse at this moment.
Gongsun Ba knew Liu Qingcang too well, since Su Bai proposed to attack the Hukou Cliff today, Liu Qingcang had a grudge against him, and now let him pursue the assassins, his intention could not be more obvious.
"General Liu, the right wing camp has suffered serious losses tonight, and the rest of the aftermath will be handed over to you, General Ben will go to the left wing camp first to have a look, remember not to relax your vigilance, let the enemy army have a chance!"
"Don't worry, the general, if the enemy assassin reappears, the last general will definitely let him come back!"
Hearing Liu Qingcang's bold words, a cold smile rose on Gongsun Ba's cheeks, and he didn't pay any attention to him and turned around and walked quickly towards the center of the camp.
"General, we have lost the lead in this battle, the morale of the army is already unstable, and the grass people think that we should withdraw our troops to Fengyang City to regroup and send troops to Anyang City!"
"Strategist, why do you say this?"
"General, the entire Fengyun Legion is no longer the Fengyun Legion when the general was in charge, Liu Qingcang is the general who understands, now the soldiers of the Fengyun Legion have no combat power, most of the above generals are Liu Qingcang's cronies, we have lost this battle before the war started, if the general doesn't want too many soldiers to lose their lives in vain, he will order the whole army to retreat back to Fengyang City!"
Dongfang Ling's expression was as calm as water, a glint flashed in his deep eyes, and his voice said in a sonorous voice.
"Dongfang, General Ben doesn't know this, but Bo'er's 20,000 vanguard army has already crossed the Hukou Cliff, if we withdraw our troops now, then they will really be alone and isolated."
"General, the grass people have a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not!"
"Gongsun, if you have anything to say, there is nothing to hide with General Ben!"
"General, I'm afraid that the 20,000 vanguard army of the eldest prince has been defeated by the army of the Purple Chu State, and the new emperor of Purple Chu, Wen Taowu, is unprecedented, if the grass people are not mistaken, he wants to divide us and eat us. The 20,000 vanguard army of the eldest prince was deliberately let go of Hukou Cliff, and its purpose was to eat away at the strength of our army. ”
Hearing Dongfang Ling's words, Gongsun Ba felt a thunderbolt fall from the top of his head, his whole body trembled slightly, and a look of pain rose on his cheeks.
"Gongsun, since you already know the purpose of the enemy army, why didn't you tell it earlier?"
"General, the grass people also affirmed their thoughts because of the assassin's incident just now, and they wanted to suggest to the general many times before, but it was terrible to affect the morale of the army, so they didn't bring it up!"
"It seems that this battle is really bless me, General Ben has really met an opponent, the new Emperor Zichu is young, and his strategy is so terrifying. It seems that it is our Fengyun Country that awakens this fierce beast, and we must quickly inform the emperor of everything that happened here, and I am afraid that Fengyun Country is in danger when it is late. ”
Gongsun Ba has rarely failed in hundreds of battles in his life, and there has never been a thing like this time when he withdrew without a fight, which made him very depressed.
"Heaven defeats me, it's not my sin!"
"Gongsun, pass on the general's military order, the whole army will return to Fengyang City overnight to rest, when will the military prestige be reestablished, and when will it march into Anyang City!"
Gongsun Ba was sad and indignant in his heart, his eyes were gloomy, he suddenly raised his head, stared at the reverse of Hukou Cliff, and said in a painful and helpless voice.
.............
Correct.
At this time.
Su Bai took a thousand soldiers in pursuit, and had already come to the woods outside the purple bamboo forest, the light of the stars in the sky was scattered on the ground through the branches, plus the torches in the hands of thousands of soldiers, the entire purple bamboo forest was illuminated.
"Halberd Chief, the figure of the assassin has disappeared, do we chase it now or not?"
"What is the difference between chasing and not chasing!"
"But under the strict defense of tens of thousands of troops, General Li was robbed and the barracks were burned, and the people who came were not ordinary people. Liu Qingcang gave a death order for me to hunt down the assassins back, just to avenge my revenge for the general today. ”
The several soldiers beside Su Bai were all cronies who were close to him on weekdays, and when they heard Su Bai's voice, a look of worry appeared on their cheeks.
"Halberd chief, Liu Qingcang is targeting you everywhere, if we really go back empty-handed, I'm afraid he won't give up, and he will give you small shoes then!"
"Yes, the whole army knows that Liu Qingcang is a villain who will be revenged, when he was in the imperial capital, how many soldiers were secretly executed by them because they couldn't get used to seeing the sons and brothers of the Liu family showing off their might in the military camp."
"It will be like this, how can Fengyun dominate the world, we are all here for the prestige of General Gongsun, but it is really sad to fall into the hands of such a villain!"
Su Bai was gloomy, his sword-like eyes looked straight ahead, and waved his hand to the soldiers next to him: "See that path, where did the assassin escape, now you follow me to chase it, no matter what, you must catch the assassin." ”
"Halberd Chief, the assassin has fled, why are you bothered?"
"Didn't Liu Qingcang just want to deduct a charge of dereliction of duty for me? I don't want him to do as he pleases, as long as we capture the assassin and see what he has to say! ”
That's it.
Su Bai took the lead and rushed towards the sheep farm trail next to the purple bamboo forest, but there was an eager voice of a soldier behind him.
"Halberd Commander, the army has all retreated, what should we do now?"
Hearing this, Su Bai's expression froze, he suddenly stopped, raised his head and looked in the direction of the camp, only to see tens of thousands of troops holding torches high and quickly rushing towards Fengyang City.
