"How many of us are left?"

At night, after setting up camp, Wei Yan looked at the deputy general beside him and asked.

"General, now we only have 1,800 people left, and more than 300 people are wounded, and those who can fight, about 1,500 people."

The adjutant general immediately replied after listening to Wei Yan's inquiry, but there was a loss that could not be concealed between his words.

Wei Yan naturally saw it in his heart, but he couldn't say anything for a while.

This time, 5,000 people were ambushed, and it can be said that all the blame is due to themselves, and no matter what the circumstances are, there is no way to change this.

"After camping, all the officers and men take turns patrolling and resting in batches, so as not to give the enemy a chance, and after every hour, I will personally inspect it."

After a while, Wei Yan spoke slowly.

"The general personally patrolled?" The adjutant general was a little surprised after listening to Wei Yan's words.

Although it is said to be once every hour, this naturally has an impact on Wei Yan's rest.

"General, you don't have to, you are our backbone, and the army still needs your command to hold out until His Majesty's army comes."

The deputy general looked at Wei Yan and persuaded him, and now Wei Yanke was their only support.

If it weren't for Wei Yan, I'm afraid they would have surrendered long ago.

"No, I'm going to inspect it myself, the defeat in this battle was caused by my carelessness, I can't forget this defeat, you don't have to persuade you."

Wei Yan directly denied the admonition of the deputy general, and then said very categorically.

"Go down and prepare, those injured soldiers must be taken care of."

Wei Yan glanced at the deputy general, and seeing that he still looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, he immediately raised his hand and ordered.

The deputy general knew Wei Yan's character, and when he saw that Wei Yan said this, he could only take orders.

However, the lieutenant's mentality also changed a little, because Wei Yan's approach could still make him feel cared.

In this regard, it is a little different from Wei Yan before, and Wei Yan can even admit his fault this time.

Wei Yan looked at the back of the departing pair, and then looked down the mountain, and could also see the faint firelight.

"I didn't expect that I, Wei Yan, would be planted here after a victory I just won."

Wei Yan naturally knew that those fires were naturally bonfires where the army led by the Zhou clan was stationed and encamped.

Wei Yan couldn't help but start thinking about why he had come to this point.

In the first battle of Nanzheng, he was taken by surprise, and it can be said that he won a complete victory, and the army of Zhang Lu who killed him was defeated and left.

I thought that I could successfully take Hanzhong in one fell swoop, and then I could sit in Hanzhong and become the minister of the humerus.

When the time comes, after the world is pacified, it will inevitably be indispensable to bring glory and wealth to this meritorious service.

But now everything has come to naught, and everything has come to naught.

At night, Wei Yan did start to inspect, and every other hour, he personally led the team to inspect.

Other people who patrol can all meet Wei Yan at a specific time.

Originally, many soldiers were also quite complaining about the defeat, but when they saw it, or heard about Wei Yan's personal inspection.

Many soldiers unconsciously changed their mentality again.

They felt that although they had lost this battle, Wei Yan was still sharing weal and butter with them.

For the wounded soldiers, Wei Yan also went to visit in person.

For Wei Yan, this is not only a measure to stabilize the morale of the army and buy people's hearts, but also that he is really guilty in his heart.

These people followed them to fight, but he led them on such a path, into the current predicament.

If it weren't for myself, I'm afraid it wouldn't be such a result.

At dawn the next day, there was nothing wrong all night, but Wei Yan naturally didn't dare to continue to fight with the Zhou family.

At present, what I have to do is to stall for time, which is the safest.

Now there are more than 1,500 people, and there are at least 7,000 people in the Zhou clan this time, and they have no chance of winning with such a difference in numbers.

"Madam, why don't we attack Wei Yan's army yet, if we attack last night, I'm afraid we have already taken Wei Yan."

In the Zhou camp, at this time, someone looked at the Zhou family in confusion and asked.

"I have my own arrangements, you can go down and inspect."

Zhou glanced at the man and didn't explain anything.

Although there is no explanation, Zhou naturally has his own considerations.

Although Wei Yan's army was only more than a thousand people, they occupied the high ground, that is, they were condescending and had an advantage.

Moreover, if you venture at night, not only will Wei Yan's army desperately counterattack, but also take advantage of this terrain to cause unexpected effects.

The most important thing is that it is easy for Wei Yan to run away.

The remaining more than 1,000 people, all of them together are not as important as Wei Yan alone.

Only by killing Wei Yan, taking his head, or forcing him to surrender is her victory.

If it was just to defeat Wei Yan and kill the soldiers, it would just be used to boost morale.

The one who can really make Liu Wei hurt his muscles and bones is naturally Wei Yan.

Because of the different statuses, the patterns of consideration are different and the starting points are different.

But even so, the Zhou family also knew that their time was running out, and if Liu Wei led the army to come, it would be difficult to kill Wei Yan.

Zhou then came out of the big tent, and then called a soldier over, "The platform I asked you to build, can it be done as required?" ”

"Mrs. Hui, because Mrs. has a special request, I am afraid that it will be done at noon at the earliest."

When the man saw that Zhou was coming to ask, he naturally didn't dare to hide anything and said truthfully.

Zhou didn't get angry when he heard this, because Zhou knew that this was true, and if it was over at noon, it would be fast.

What I told them to do last night, even the preparation of materials will take some time, after all, marching and fighting will not be ready at all times.

"Well, that's all as requested." Zhou nodded and left.

Zhou left the camp and then came down the hillside again.

She took another closer look at the mountain.

Although she had already sent someone to check last night, she was still not at ease, because this time she had to succeed.

Time passed gradually, and the morning passed quickly.

Although Wei Yan wondered why the Zhou army under the mountain had done nothing, he still remembered yesterday's events vividly, so he naturally wouldn't take risks.

It is close to the Hanshui River, so although it is said to be a small lonely mountain, the small hillside is not short of water.

Therefore, the Zhou clan did not make any moves, and Wei Yan did not plan to take any drastic measures.

"General, it's time to eat."

At noon, there were already soldiers who came to Wei Yan's camp with food.

"Well, let's put it down first, it's just time to patrol, I'll come back and eat, and by the way, go see those injured soldiers."

When Wei Yan saw it, he opened his mouth and said, so he didn't have a chance to eat those meals again.

Wei Yan led the people to inspect and began to inspect, and now there are only more than 1,000 people, so the entire Dazhai is not big.

It didn't take long for Wei Yan to lead the men and horses to finish the investigation, and after the inspection, he went to visit the injured soldiers again.

Every time Wei Yan felt that he saw them, he was reminding himself of the reason for the current result.

"Don't worry, I will definitely lead you to hold out until Your Majesty comes, and when you are injured, we will fight side by side together."

Wei Yan looked at them and immediately opened his mouth to comfort.

"Thank you general, the general cares about us so much, and we are naturally good at cultivating and living up to the general's concern."

After listening to Wei Yan's words, the injured soldier immediately said, Wei Yan has come three times in person from last night to today.

So they were naturally very moved.

"It's all my fault that you're hurt, and that's what I should do." Wei Yan looked at everyone and spoke again.

"General, victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, we don't blame you, we all believe in generals, and we also want to take us to make contributions."

Wei Yan didn't speak after hearing this, because did he really think about these soldiers at that time?

"Will... Checkmate... Oh no, why don't you go out and have a look? ”

At this moment, the deputy general ran in with a pale face, and looked at Wei Yan with a little unfavorable speech.

Wei Yan was also stunned, "What's wrong, why is this?" ”
