Although the imperial court and the headquarters of the coalition army concealed the defeat of the Northern Theater, there is no impermeable wall in the world, and a few days later, the news of the defeat of Nangong Xiongba spread like a storm, and some of the real inside story about the loss of the Northern Theater was also leaked to the outside world.

"Have you heard about it? The northern theater was not a retreat battle as stated in the imperial court notice, but a defeat on all fronts, and the governor of Nangong did not win against those island countries. ”

"Alas----- heard that only 2 million soldiers of the 30 million soldiers in our northern theater escaped, and the rest of the soldiers were all shrouded in horse leather and died on the battlefield."

"I wondered, 30 million against 30 million, how can those wouldn't win? Of the 28 million soldiers we put in here, we only destroyed 15 million of the Japanese invaders. ”

"Nest, nest, Nangong Metropolitan Governor is known as one of the three giants in the military world, I thought he could shock the Northern Theater, but I didn't expect to suffer such a defeat, it's too bad."

"Hey----- have you heard of the Battle of Ontario? Our horse master Ling Xia led 58,000 people in the battle flag division and fought against the five legions of the Japanese Invaders, which is majestic. ”

"I heard that Ling Juma relied on the tens of thousands of people under his command to block the enemy army for a month, and the Japanese Kou successively dispatched seven legions to attack the city, but they never broke through the defense area of the donkey."

"Not only did he not break through the defense area of the horse master, but he also lost more than 400,000 soldiers and horses before and after, to say that our horse master is really good, and he deserves to be the first warrior in the world."

"That's a must, the three commanders of the Ling Horse Solo Battle, Yoshio Yamamoto, Ishiji Tsuchihara, and Nakajima Snow Shore, those are all famous generals of the island country, but they are all folded in the hands of the horses."

"The horse first killed the 300,000 troops under Yoshio Yamamoto, then beheaded Ishiji Tsuchihara and all the generals, and finally he alone pinned down Nakajima Yukigan and 500,000 enemy troops."

"Our Ling Horse's courage and strategy are definitely superior, he can actually come up with such a peerless plan as the empty city plan, but unfortunately, after the Horse Master broke through, his whereabouts are unknown."

"I heard that it was because the horse was angry with the governor of Nangong, so he didn't report back to the coalition headquarters after retreating, but he didn't go back to his fiefdom either, and now everyone is looking for him, seeing that the horse master is so powerful, they all want him to go to his own war zone to fight."

Just when there were rumors and discussions in the outside world, Ling Xia and Fu Qingyun came to the "Gangyue Frontier" This is the territory of the Eastern Theater, and the commander in charge of the war in the Eastern Theater is named Gu Xiuyuan, he is from the martial arts hall, proficient in strategy and strategic layout, and it is Ling Xia's acquaintance who assists Gu Xiuyuan, that is, the Xicheng Green Bamboo Weng, who is known as the "Heavenly Demon Green Bamboo".

These two are important ministers under the command of the prince, and the soldiers who are enabled also belong to the prince's camp, so the whole army is unanimous, because the two are properly arranged, and the soldiers under their command work together, so the current eastern theater is relatively stable, and there is no displacement in the northern theater, and the people still live in their respective cities.

At this moment, Ling Xia and the others were saying goodbye at the city gate. After evacuating safely, Fu Qingyun, Xiang Kunlun, and Nangong Xiu wanted to report back to the imperial court, but Ling Xia was angry with Nangong Xiongba and refused to go back with them.

Through this joint operation, Ling Xia and Fu Qingyun, Xiang Kunlun, and Nangong Xiu had some sympathy for each other, Fu Qingyun and the three admired Ling Xia's strategy and courage, and Ling Xia admired the loyalty and courage of Fu Qingyun and the three of them, at the beginning, the three of them knew that they were going to die to replace Ling Xia, but the three of them still rushed forward without hesitation, and for this, Ling Xia was grateful.

People have their own ambitions, no one can force anyone, reluctant to say goodbye, Fu Qingyun and the three of them led the only remaining more than 4,000 injuries into the city gate, looking at the back of the finally far away, Ling Xia stopped and stayed for a while, and then he led the more than 3,000 injuries under his command to the other side, Ling Xia and the others just left, and Lu Zhuweng led people to run out.

Although the old man was not young, his body was very strong, and after running to the city gate, looking at the empty city gate, he turned around and asked the adjutant general behind him: "Are you sure those soldiers just now are from the northern theater of operations?" And a soldier of the 3rd Army? Why didn't Ling Xia go with those people? ”

The adjutant general clenched his fists and replied: "Qi Qi military division, the last general is sure, just now when those wounded soldiers entered the city to register, the last general carefully asked their numbers, according to the leading general, they were withdrawn from the northern theater of operations. Later, the general checked the identities of those people with the head of the military department and confirmed that they were troops in the northern theater of operations.

These people are the establishment of the Third Army Corps in the Northern Theater of Operations, responsible for garrisoning the province of Anzhou, after completing the garrison task, they just withdrew from there, and learned through inquiries that the master of the horse had just been separated from those people, because the military division had instructed that the whereabouts of the horse should be reported, and it happened that the military division came here today to inspect the city defense, so the last general immediately reported the matter. ”

"Looks like the old man is a step too late." After speaking, the Heavenly Demon Green Bamboo stood at the gate of the city and frowned and pondered, and after a while, he whispered softly: "Ling Xia, Ling Xia, you and I are both the ministers of the First Emperor Tuogu, since you promised the First Emperor to assist His Royal Highness the Prince, why have you avoided it so far?" What exactly do you think again? ”

On the way to evacuate, Ling Xia carefully counted the manpower on his side, 3,576 people, except for Lao Cui, the shopkeeper, the five Luo brothers, Shangguan Hui, Liu Piaoyi, Huya, Situ Chenfeng, Jiang Hailiu, Yue Qianfeng, Ji Mo, Pei Nanpo, Mu Guying, Lu Yi'an, He Youzhen and other generals were all killed in battle.

As for the soldiers, there are even more dead and wounded, except for the more than 3,500 people left under the special forces under Yue Qianfeng, the soldiers of the rest of the arms are all dead, although these people survived, but one by one they were seriously injured, fortunately, these soldiers are cultivated to a high strength, if they were ordinary people, they would have been killed long ago if they were so seriously injured.

Among the many injured, Yang Lucai, the shopkeeper, was the most seriously injured, he was stabbed four times in the chest, and a wound was cut on the back by Zhan Ge, if it wasn't for Ling Xia's timely treatment, the shopkeeper would have died on the spot, although he saved his life now, but he was dying.

Looking at Yang Lucai lying on the stretcher, Ling Xia closed his eyes and thought for a while, and then he made a decision, everyone was separated for the time being, everyone went back to Ziyanjiang to recuperate, and he stayed to take care of the shopkeeper, and when the shopkeeper's injury improved, they would go back to meet. 8)
