The Khitans withdrew, but Yuan Hui still did not dare to relax, and Yang Xuanji forcibly drove the soldiers of the Zhou army who survived the catastrophe and waited strictly to prevent Li Quanzhong from killing a horse gun. Probably because he was rescued, Ma Renjie and Yan Bandit Shi were very cooperative.

Sure enough, where would the Khitans withdraw so simply. In just half an hour, thousands of enemy horsemen swept in, and the leader was probably Sun Wanrong. Seeing that the Zhou army was prepared, he couldn't find a chance, and he didn't want to fight to the death, so he slowly went north.

It wasn't until dusk that it was confirmed that there was no danger of an invincible attack, and Yuan Langjun had to relax for a moment. The remnants of the soldiers, led by officers, cleaned up the battlefield, and it was a miserable mess. It was impossible to be very careful, just simply picking up the scattered and damaged ordnance and concentrating the food baggage...... By the way, rescue the wounded soldiers, and collect the identity cards of the fallen officers and soldiers.

After the sky darkened, a mournful cry wafted through the center of the camp that smelled of blood. This is the spontaneous hair of the officers and soldiers, either for the robes of the dead, or for this cruel defeat......

In fact, the people who are alive are already lucky, if it weren't for the whim of Yuan Langjun and the army to join in the excitement, the remaining more than 10,000 people would only be wiped out. Even if he sacrificed his life, he could not escape the fate of being plundered to the pine desert as a slave.

and Yang Xuanji combed the officers and soldiers on the spot, and inspected around, and Yuan Langjun had time to deal with the two generals of Ma Renjie and Yan Banditshi. In terms of official rank and seniority, the two of them are naturally above Yuan Hui, but whoever calls them the generals of the defeated army, their confidence in speaking is much weaker, especially Ma Renjie, who is obviously submissive.

After some exchanges, Yuan Hui was speechless, these two were still confused at this time, and they didn't know where they were defeated.

"General Zhang misunderstood me!" Yan Banditshi, the head of the rear army, sighed to himself. There was depression in his eyes, this defeat, his career was almost over, and he returned to his senses, and he was lucky enough to be demoted to white. If it is unlucky, with the empress's mentality in this matter, it is not impossible to give death for the crime of "mourning the teacher".

Hearing his sigh, Yuan Hui and Yang Xuanji glanced at each other, and they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes. This person is really so stupid, how can he behave in this way?

Just as he was about to say a few words, he saw Ma Renjie sigh and said, "I don't know what the situation of General Zhang and General Cao is now?" ”

Sitting on the ground, grabbing a piece of coarse cake and stuffing it into his mouth, General Ma didn't care about any demeanor at this time. Hearing his words, Yuan Hui couldn't help but laugh at one of them: "If it weren't for the fact that the general and the leader of General Yang coincided with the incident, I was afraid that the two of them would be ...... after Zhang Xuanyu and Cao Renshi."

"What does General Yuan mean by this?" Swallowing a bite of cake, Ma Renjie looked at Yuan Hui.

On the side of a grain truck, Yuan Langjun straightened his right leg and sat on the side of the wood, the corners of his mouth rose slightly contemptuously, his gaze turned around the two of them twice, and said coldly: "Why, the two of you still don't understand?" If the second army of Zhang and Cao is still there, how can the Khitans be allowed to design so calmly and besiege and kill the rear army? ”

Having said that, no matter how chaotic my brain is, I have come back to my senses. Ma Renjie's face couldn't help but turn a little pale, his body trembled, revealing a little frightened, and respectfully hugged his fists towards Yuan Langjun and Yang Xuanji: "Thank you for the kindness of the two generals for saving the army......"

With a wave of his hand, Yuan Hui turned his head and shouted at the mentally retarded: "Zhang Zhi! ”

"What does the general command?" Just waiting not far away, when he heard the call, Zhang Zhi's fart came in a hurry.

Pointing to the northeast direction, the Huangzhang Valley, which looked much more gloomy under the twilight, Yuan Hui instructed: "Take a brother and go to the valley to explore, I think there will be something to gain." Not...... Stay safe! ”

"Yes!"

The dilapidated camp gradually settled down, and what could not be avoided was the wailing of the wounded soldiers, which made people depressed. Yan and Ma obviously lost interest and sat on the side a little numbly.

"The losses of several generals, soldiers, baggage, and ordnance have been counted...... "The military recorder walked to the center of the camp with heavy steps, holding the booklet in his hand, and bowed to several people.

Looking at the record with dust remaining on his body and his head bowed deeply, Yan Bandit Shi subconsciously opened his eyes. Ma Renjie looked at Yuan Langjun and saw that he didn't say anything, so he said, "Say it!" ”

The result of this battle was completely expected, and the Great Zhou army was defeated and lost. Not to mention the 5,000 advance cavalry led by Zhang Xuanyu and Cao Renshi, the entire rear army, the infantry and the 9,000 baggage troops equipped with a total of more than 27,000 people, after an ambush battle, only about 10,000 people remained.

The number of those killed, missing, scattered, and surrendered is innumerable. The remnants and the wounded are numerous, and there are also serious wounded people who die. If you slacken down, your combat strength will be seven or eight out of ten, and your morale will fall to the bottom.

"It's over, it's over......" Ma Renjie lamented again and again.

Yuan Langjun was surprised that the soldiers of the Zhou army could resist for so long, probably because the protagonist was coming, and the halo was opened.

"General Yuan, we are waiting for this remnant army, what should we do next?" After a few moments of silence, Ma Renjie looked at Yuan Langjun with hope in his eyes. As for Yan Bandit Shi and Yang Xuanji next to him, they don't care.

The flattery of Yuan Langjun, Ma Renjie's performance is a little obvious, this guy is already thinking in his heart, and he is close to Yuan Hui. is for the relationship between Yuan Langjun and Princess Taiping, which everyone knows......

"General Yang, what do you think?" Yuan Hui asked Yang Xuanji's opinion.

Yang Xuanji looked like a cadre, only groaned slightly, and then said solemnly: "The wilderness is dangerous, there is nothing to rely on here, you should evacuate as soon as possible." ”

"Go to Lulong City!" Yang Xuanji's tone was very crisp.

"No!" At this time, I don't know where Yan Bandit Stone got the courage, so he opened his mouth to express his opposition: "It's dark, and night is falling." Marching at night, if the Khitan takes the opportunity to attack, how can it be deserved to be a weak soldier? Mo Ruo, hold on and wait for the dawn, and then make plans......"

Listening to his opinion, Yuan Hui Haosheng glanced at Yan Bandit Shi, as if he was guessing his thoughts. Seeing that he was a little weak-hearted, Fang Leng opened his mouth coldly, and did not talk nonsense with him, and said directly: "This general's opinion is the same as General Yang's!" ”

"I agree too!" As soon as Yuan Langjun's voice fell, Ma Renjie actively followed the statement. It made Yuan Hui feel a little strange in his heart, it seems that there is such a little brother who knows the current affairs and knows how to advance and retreat, which is very good......

There is no plan to take care of Yan Banditshi's thoughts, so he has to move. Yuan Langjun knew that at night, there was no place for them to feel more at ease than the city.

Of course, Lu Long City was thirty miles north of Huangzhang Valley, and the distance was close enough, otherwise, it would be too risky to say as Yan Bandit Shi said. If so, Yang Xuanji would not have proposed like that.

It was unusually fast to get dark, and the preparations were not yet sufficient, and it was already painted on all sides. On the one hand, he sent someone to inform Lu Longcheng to prepare to welcome the army to move in, and on the other hand, he led the army to set off.

Bold in decision-making, cautious, scouts scattered far away, especially cautious along the way, leading the defeated army north. Unexpectedly, the Khitan did not make the slightest move, not even the movement of sending light cavalry to monitor and harass, Yuan Hui was really surprised, but let him make preparations for the Khitan sneak attack in vain.

Settled under Lulong City, looking at the city where the defense was not very strong, Yuan Hui's mood was inevitably relaxed. Under the city, Thorn Shi Qiu Jing had already led the soldiers in the city to greet him.

"Master Qiu, I haven't seen you in the past three years, don't come unharmed?" Sitting on the horse, Yuan Hui looked at Qiu Jing playfully and asked lightly.
