Chapter 216: Gongsun Shu escaped

In the open space three miles north of Yankou City, the camp of 130,000 Chengjia soldiers covered the entire land, and countless Chengjia camp flags fluttered in the wind.

However, there was an unspeakable frustration throughout the camp.

In the main account of the Chinese army, Gongsun Shu is convening the generals in the army to deliberate, and their decision is related to the life and death of more than 100,000 adult soldiers.

More than a month ago, Gongsun Shu drove the expedition in person and led 250,000 Chengjia troops from Baofeng Mountain, originally wanting to take advantage of the southern king Sima Yu to lead the troops to the south to take Chen Shi County and even the entire northern part of Yongzhou in one fell swoop.

The final result was that the 250,000 Chengjia army had no advance in Chenshi County for more than a month, and tens of thousands of elite counties with tens of thousands of casualties had only taken three insignificant small cities, and the only consolation was that countless supplies had been looted, especially the tens of thousands of sets of ordnance obtained in the three small cities that were breached were all high-quality.

The situation has suddenly taken a turn for the worse in the last 10 days, first of all, the 30,000 cavalry of the Northern Army under the command of Hu Luguang unknowingly repelled the 100,000 Pakistani army.

After that, the 30,000 cavalry soldiers of the Northern Army were divided into two routes, and the thousands of cavalry of the Northern Army led by He Bayun, the deputy commander of the Northern Army, launched 3 consecutive raids in Yunlong County, knocking out tens of thousands of elites under Ren Gui's command in one fell swoop, and nearly 100,000 Ren Gui's troops were so frightened that they retreated without a fight.

On the other road, Hu Luguang personally commanded 20,000 cavalry of the Northern Army to march all the way, and Zhao Yun and Huang Jingtian, who went north from the waterway, attacked Yancen and Hou Dan at the same time, and then took advantage of the situation to jointly defeat the Gongsun Shu army that attacked Chen Shicheng in one fell swoop.

Under the blow of tens of thousands of southern royal troops, Gongsun Shu's army was defeated, and retreated all the way to the outside of Yankou City, where it stabilized its position after converging with Gongsun Hui and Gongsun Guang.

At present, the Chengjia army under the command of Gongsun Shu has fallen into a difficult situation of not being able to advance or retreat, and the camp of more than 30,000 cavalry of the Southern Wang Army, which is less than 2 miles away from the camp of the army, is stationed outside Yankou City.

Successive defeats, the entire Chengjia army's military heart has fallen to the bottom, this place is still more than 20 miles away from Baofeng Mountain, under the bite of tens of thousands of fierce cavalry, Gongsun Shu and others understand that once the order to retreat is issued, the army will inevitably be completely defeated, and finally there are probably very few people who can really escape to Baofeng Mountain.

And with the speed of cavalry, it was even more impossible for them to attack.

This delay will be another three days.

"Do you have a solution?"

After being silent for a long time, Gongsun Shu glanced at everyone, and finally couldn't help but speak.

If you don't open your mouth, you can't do it!

According to the news from the spies, nearly 90,000 elite infantry of the Southern King Army have arrived in the south of Chenshi County, and it has been less than 2 days before Yankou City.

Once the 90,000 troops arrived, the number of the southern king's army was basically the same as theirs, and with the same number of troops, Gongsun Shu had no confidence that he would be able to stop them.

There was silence in the camp, and the best way for anyone to have any good plan in the current situation was nothing more than to sacrifice some people to block the pursuit of the cavalry on the opposite side, and buy time for the army to retreat.

But how many troops would have to be sacrificed to hold off the onslaught of tens of thousands of cavalry? Who can have this faith?

No one dared to open this mouth.

"Da Situ"

Seeing that no one spoke, Gongsun Shu's face became even more ugly, and he pointed out directly.

Li Xiong, who has always been wise and scheming, stood up with a wry smile, it seems that he still has to do this offending thing.

"Your Majesty, for the sake of today's plan, you should abandon the car to protect the commander!"

Since he couldn't avoid it, Li Xiong had to bite the bullet.

"Abandon the car and protect the handsome!"

Gongsun Shu's face instantly turned pale.

"What about my army?"

Shaking his hands vigorously on the back of the chair, Gongsun Shu stood up and used his last strength to raise his head and look at Li Xiongdao.

The loss of nearly 120,000 troops is already a wound for the family, and if the remaining 130,000 troops are gone, the elites available in the country will be almost lost.

"Your Majesty, you can recruit again when the army is gone, but if Your Majesty makes a mistake, the family will really die!"

Avoiding Gongsun Shu's hopeful gaze, Li Xiong shook his head and sighed, ruthlessly shattering Gongsun Shu's last hope.

Syllable!

Gongsun Shu's body fell and sat on the seat, and there was no trace of blood on his face.

There was silence in the tent!

"Stand down!"

After being silent for a long time, Gongsun Shucai stood up and waved weakly to the generals in the tent, and after speaking, he turned around and walked towards the inner tent, and his figure seemed to have become much more rickety.

At the time of the war, the camp of the army outside Iwaguchi Castle.

"Report, General, there is an enemy army in the opposite camp that has left the camp and is heading towards Baofeng Mountain."

In the main account of the Chinese army, a scout of the northern army hurriedly stepped into the tent and reported to Hu Luguang.

On both sides below Hu Luguang, Zhao Yun, Huang Jingtian, He Bayun and other generals sat on both sides.

At this time, the people in the tent were summing up and discussing the ensuing battle.

Zhao Yun and Huang Jingtian are the generals of Feiyu and Xiaocai of the Chinese army, and they are both military attachés of the third grade, at the same level as Hu Luguang. But Hu Luguang is the commander of the first army on one side after all, and he is still slightly higher than the two in terms of status.

Therefore, in this alliance of the three armies, in name Zhao Yun and Huang Jingtian, they are still dominated by Hu Luguang.

"Oh? How many people are there? ”

Everyone in the tent was overjoyed when they heard this, and Hu Luguang asked out loud.

"General Hui, there are about 20,000 people in this army, judging from the opponent's equipment and temperament, it is likely to be the Praetorian Guard under Gongsun Shu!"

The scout immediately bowed in reply.

"General, Gongsun Shu is going to escape, and his subordinates are willing to take 5,000 soldiers and horses to pursue"

As soon as the scout's words fell, He Bayun, who had just repelled Ren Gui's army in Yunlong County in this battle, immediately got up and asked for battle.

Gongsun Shu is the emperor of Chengjiaguo, this is a big fish, and he can't just let it go.

"Gongsun Shu is just a lost dog, don't care, there is someone holding him behind, our top priority is to think about how to break the more than 100,000 enemy troops in front."

This proposal was decisively vetoed by Hu Luguang.

"General Hu is right, the population of the entire Chengjia country is only 5 million, no matter whether Gongsun Shu can escape or not, as long as we take down the army in front of us, the Chengjia will not have to worry."

"What General Hu said is reasonable"

Zhao Yun and Huang Jingtian both had a different color in their eyes, and they echoed.

Gongsun Shu's escape was expected, He Bayun did not know the movements of the Eastern Army, but Hu Luguang, Zhao Yun, and Huang Jingtian were very clear that there were 50,000 Eastern troops guarding the foot of the north side of Baofeng Mountain, and Gongsun Shu was afraid that it would be difficult to return to Changzhou safely.

"But"

"Okay, now that the Lord has escaped, we can't let them all live too easily"

He Bayun was in a hurry and wanted to persuade him again, but Hu Luguang raised his hand to stop him, and a fine light flashed in his eyes.

Thundered~

Outside the city of Yankou, a group of black-armored cavalry in the camp jumped out of the camp and quickly formed a military formation and swept towards the camp of the Chengjia army.

"Enemy attack!"

"Kill!"

Soon, the mournful shouts came from the camp of the Chengjia Army 2 miles away, and the surging black-armored cavalry turned the entire camp into a graveyard for countless soldiers of the Chengjia Army.
