At the same time, Bunachu learned that it was late at night when he learned of the defeat of Jabanis, Dean, and Kiros, and the diplomatic battle in his camp was still going on.

Hearing the news of the defeat of the legion's commander Bunach, the Luna King's envoy to investigate the murder of Hochko, Dornon, suggested:

"Commander, there are 27,000 or 8,000 dead and wounded in the direction of Tusai, if the northerners continue to dig trenches, they will be able to besiege Tusai on all sides tomorrow night, at that time Kiros, Jabanis, and Dean's soldiers and horses may be encircled, and it will be meaningless to hold on, we should immediately agree to Jabanis's request to withdraw our troops, and withdraw with the legions."

"If the troops are withdrawn, how can I explain to Your Majesty!"

"But if the troops are not withdrawn, the legion may be left in the back of the enemy. Rather than a fish dying and the net is broken, it is better to avoid its edge. Judging from the current war, the destruction of Xiaochi will be within a few days, as long as Xiaochi is broken, the northerners will have no place to stand.

Moreover, the recent abnormal situation of the northerners needs to be adjusted immediately, and His Majesty does not want to make the situation worse because of Hodchko's loss

I am willing to bring the Legion's request to Your Majesty immediately, and I am sure that Your Majesty will understand the difficulties you are in. ”

"Alright then......" Bunachu reluctantly agreed, "Please send your majesty's decision as soon as possible, and I will immediately order Jabanis to withdraw his troops." ”

"Your decision is wise, the messenger will arrive as soon as noon tomorrow, and ask the corps commander to prepare for retreat."

"Lord Duonon, please stay!"

"What else does the Legion Commander have to say?"

"If Xiaochi can't be breached, our army will be very passive, Lord Duo Nong should know."

"It's very clear in Xia, so even if you can't capture Xiaochi, Your Majesty will make Xiaochi a place of sacrifice for the Moon God, so that it will not grow a single grass."

The Dornon, known for his ruthlessness and cruelty, received the Dornon's answer, and Bunachus immediately gave Jabanis the order to retreat. The order was delivered in the second half of the night, and the rapid movement of the barbarian army aroused Su Fangxin's vigilance.

Late at night, I came to the high platform to look at Tusai, and every move of the barbarian army was in the telescope.

"General Peng, the barbarian army is going to run!"

"Run? I only lost for a while today and wanted to run, which seems to be inconsistent with the temperament of the barbarians. Whether there will be any deception in it is to lure our army to pursue it. ”

"The retreat of the barbarians is not like a fake, but there is definitely a fraud. During the retreat of the barbarian army, the cavalry must have set up an ambush, and it is necessary to suffer a big loss if they rush to pursue it in the middle of the night. It is better to wait until after dawn before making a pursuit. ”

"Alas...... It's a pity, it's a pity that our combat strength is not good, if there are 50,000 elite cavalry, how can we let these white-headed thieves escape. ”

While the two were talking, a royal guest ascended the high platform and reported:

"Report to General Peng, Soviet Army, Gongzi Yan is awake."

Hearing the news, Su Fangxin hurriedly asked:

"When did you wake up?"

"Just woke up a moment ago."

A moment ago, Baili Yan only felt weak in a daze, weak and weak, and when he opened his eyes, he found himself lying in the military tent, and the gray-haired "old man" sitting on the left side was none other than the teacher Sai Qian, who taught him all his skills.

Ten years have passed, and Sai Qian, who was in his prime, was already old, his old hair was gray, he was old, he was almost unrecognizable.

"Mentor ......"

Bai Liyan blurted out a teacher, but it woke up the sleeping Sai Qian:

"Swallow, you are Swallow!" Sai Qian was unbearably excited, and his eyes were full of tears.

"Teacher, you're here too!"

"You're still alive, really alive......"

"I ......"

Bailiyan had words of suffering, and at this time, Lu Gao, Su Hong and others rushed into the tent when they heard the news:

"General, you're awake!"

Su Hong croaked, and Lu Gao hurriedly said:

"I'm really worried!"

Bai Liyan sat up straight, her face was pale and bloodless, so she lowered her voice and said weakly:

"There are some things that you should know."

Bai Liyan pointed out, Lu Gao, Su Hong and the others each glanced at it and nodded. Lu Gao was still very unsure and wanted to confirm the news with his own ears, so he asked:

"General, are you really the second son of Qiguo, Yan?"

"That's all in the past."

"But after all, you are the younger brother of King Qi, why do you want to be incognito in Xianguo." Lu Gao asked.

"The father cannot protect the son, the king has no ministers, it is better to be a peace dog, and not to be a mess and leave people. Alas...... It's hard to put into words...... Back then, I wanted to escape, but I didn't want to be arrested by Zhao Shuai to fill the army, you must have known about it, but then I couldn't help myself and had to do it. ”

Baili Yan has been talking about her heart for many years, and how much helplessness and emotion have become eternal under the consumption of time.

"Since you escaped, why didn't you contact your teacher for many years?"

Sai Qian asked, Bai Liyan took a breath and continued:

"Since the Xianguo has been reduced to the lower state of the Jin State, the Jin people have become increasingly closely monitored, how dare I secretly contact the master privately, the slightest carelessness will be killed, how can I live to this day."

Lu Gao asked again at this time:

"Does the general have any plans for that day?"

"Far away, near, bring the brethren back alive."

Bai Liyan knew what Lu Gao wanted to say, but he didn't answer positively.

"How's the war going now?"

"After the last general led the remnants to break through to the north, he met with General Peng Yi and Master Sai Qian unexpectedly, otherwise the consequences would be unpredictable. This morning, we fought a battle with the Tusai barbarian army, and although it was a victory, the civilian army suffered nearly twice as many casualties as the barbarian army, which was extremely difficult. ”

"Yes, the people's army has poor weapons and armor, and it is not surprising that its combat strength is weak, and it is not easy to win in battle. Get me some food, I still have something to talk to my teacher, you can step back first. ”

"No!"

After Lu Gao, Su Hong and the others retreated, Bai Liyan and Sai Qian said:

"The apprentice is not filial, for the sake of his life, he has to make this decision, it is really hurtful to the royal guest, and I hope the teacher will forgive."

"Don't say it, it's really a benevolent and righteous move to quell the thieves and help the righteous spirit, so why do you want to steal peace." Sai Qian wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and continued: "There is one thing that has not been clear for the teacher, as the teacher remembers, you studied medicine back then, and never saw you study the art of war, why did you escape from the palm of the Jin people back then, and killed Han He in Yin Yangcheng in just a few months. ”

"This ......"

Bai Liyan was speechless for a while, and didn't know how to answer. It just so happened that at this time, Su Fangxin came uninvited:

"It's good to be a hundred miles of the world."

Following the prestige, a middle-aged man with a white jacket and fur, thirty-four or five, and extremely flowing hair, wore a royal robe and entered through the curtain. Bailiyan looked at it closely, and only felt a little familiar.

"Your Excellency is ......"

At this time, Sai Qian hurriedly said:

"Yanzi, this is my General Peng Yi's military advisor Su Fangxin."

Hearing the news of Su Fangxin's third son, Bai Liyan hurriedly asked:

"Then Su Fangyi is Your Excellency's ......"

"Fang Yi is Su's younger brother, and he is two years old."

"I see, no wonder it's so similar."

Su Fangyi Bailiyan has seen it many times, and when he saw Su Fangxin at first glance, he felt that the two were very similar, even if Su Fangxin didn't say it, he could guess that the two of them were either brothers or twin brothers.

When Lu Gao brought dry meat and hot water, Su Fangxin continued the unfinished conversation, and explained in detail the ins and outs of the past half month.

"The Xian army went deep behind the barbarian army and fought hard, greatly pinning down and weakening the main force of the barbarian cavalry and the decisive victory of the imperial marshal, and striving for great convenience for our army to arrive at reinforcements.

Ben will be ashamed...... More than 8,000 people were killed and wounded, and I am sorry for those brothers who died. ”

"Baili Shizi's words are wrong, if there is no Xianjun to contain the enemy, I am afraid that there will be no less than 100,000 enemies blocking our army's front, and our army will be attacked head-on, how can we be safe and sound, it is the prince's modesty."

Su Fangxin comforted and said, but Bai Liyan was neither in the mood nor able to listen to Su Fangxin's meaningless compliments at this time, for those who had died, no matter how great the deeds and no matter how noble the praise, they were empty and powerless. He immediately changed his words and asked:

"Mr. Su, among the barbarian heavy cavalry, there are heavy cavalry wearing gold armor, and the combat power is extremely fierce, Mr. Su knows what the origin of this heavy cavalry is?"

"Oh, this is the elite iron cavalry of the Barbarian Moon God King, which is equivalent to the Central Plains Forbidden Army, but the combat power is far above the forbidden army of the vassal states, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the first army in the world.

"Alas...... At the beginning of the battle, Ben General found that their armor was mixed with gold, which was extremely tough, far from being like iron armor, which could be pierced to the bottom under the stab of my steel-bladed spear, and this kind of gold armor was difficult to pierce with one shot, and it was extremely difficult to deal with. ”

The barbarians' smelting technology far exceeded estimates, and they already knew how to add other elements to the iron-based steel base to enhance the strength of the iron-based material.

Although it is not clear what kind of metal properties can be changed by adding gold to the iron base just now, there is no doubt that adding trace amounts of copper, gold, molybdenum, platinum and other elements to special steel can enhance the toughness and yield strength of steel, and the special steel used in the aircraft carrier is a special steel with trace copper elements.

The molten iron that Jin Xuedi can smelt has obvious alloy characteristics, perhaps it is just a law discovered by Jin Xuedi in long-term smelting, or it is a coincidence based on some religious obsession, but in the long run, it will be extremely unfavorable to the Central Plains civilization.

Thinking of this, Bai Liyan suddenly remembered the extremely gorgeous long sword:

"Soviet Division, our army has previously captured an extremely gorgeous long sword inlaid with jewels, and the body of the sword is engraved with Jin Xuedi characters, I wonder if there is an interpreter in the army?"

"Oh, it's a long sword with a diamond embedded in the hilt and a gold-cut scabbard."

Su Fangxin explained the details of the characteristics of the long sword in detail, and Bai Liyan was extremely shocked. He realized that the ambush was most likely an important figure in the barbarian army.
