In the afterglow of the fall, Naben stood alone in front of the gate, and Li Qing's Chinese army in Shahe Town in the distance was fluttering in the wind, attacking Shahe Town for more than a month, but the defense line that seemed to be broken at a stab was still standing in front of him, as if he could take it as long as he added a force, but he always let himself be disappointed, and it seemed that the greater his attack, the stronger the opponent's rebound. Reason told him that it was time to retire, his logistics supply line was already full of holes, and it would be very good to have fifty percent of the materials transported from the grassland into his own hands, although Su Shun was old and slippery, but one thing he was not wrong about, Dingyuan Zhenyuan Weiyuan The three fortresses were not uprooted, which was equivalent to letting the three knives stand behind him, and he could be stabbed at any time, and now he has begun to taste it.

The loss of the Green Ridge Pass caused an uproar in the camp, and the generals under his command had no intention of staying here anymore, Dingzhou City was out of reach, but the tribes they left on the grassland were bleeding, and the evil Murwei people rushed into the grassland, where they passed, the blood flowed like a river, and the grassland is now a piece of chickens and dogs, and a large number of tribes are fleeing.

There are not too many soldiers available in the hands of the father, and the Longxiao army on the grassland can only defend the royal court within a radius of hundreds of miles, while the elites of the other departments are concentrated on the front line of Dingzhou, and the wolf army of the tiger commander is desperately restrained by the forest, and after secretly sending 10,000 wolves to his place, he has no spare strength to attack the forest, but he has never been able to break through here.

Naben's heart was full of resentment, he knew that he wanted to return here again, and he didn't know when it would be, Li Qing's battle with the grassland had the upper hand, and the next thing was the grassland defense, and he wanted to attack in a big way, which made Naben, who had always believed that he was the strongest, feel humiliated.

The red afterglow of the sun sprinkled the last light from his back, shining on the big flag opposite, the big flag waving in the wind was even more brilliant under the sun, Naben's heart throbbed, will the Yuanwu Empire be the falling sunset, just rose soon and will be called Bo Xishan?

The sound of horses' hooves behind him, a familiar voice sounded: "Second Prince." ”

Naben didn't look back, but his voice was a little choked, "Nokia, you say, will we ever come back here?" ”

Nokia, who came on horseback, had a little misty eyes, and his heart was even more panicked, like Naben, he was also very aware of the current form, the Yuanwu Empire had just been founded, and it was facing such a difficult situation both internally and externally. One mishandling is the end of a catastrophe. But looking at Naben's somewhat depressed demeanor, he had to lift his spirits and said: "Second prince, we will definitely come back, after defeating the Murowei people, we will definitely come back, although Da Chu is very large, Li Qing is also very powerful, but Da Chu's internal affairs have collapsed, and he is already a dying giant who is seriously ill, and our Yuanwu Empire is the rising sun, the civil strife of Da Chu will start soon, Li Qing will inevitably be involved in the civil strife of Da Chu, which will give us time to breathe, and when we recover, it will be the beginning of their demise." ”

Naben made Nokia's words refreshed again, shook his horse's head, and said loudly: "You're right, Nokia, let's go, we are ready to retreat, and when we return here again, I will definitely stand on the tower of Dingzhou City." ”

Following Naben, Nokia turned the horse's head in a circle, and on the horse, he looked back at the big flag with the word Li, but his face was extremely confused, "We, will we come back?" ”

In Shahe Town, Shang Haibo was excited and rushed into Li Qing's command post, waving his arms and saying loudly: "Dashuai, Dashuai, Naben has retreated, he has retreated." ”

In the room, Li Qinghuo, who was leaning over to look at the sand table, raised his head, a month of fierce fighting, his eyes were bloodshot, and the beard on his face was not shaved, looking very haggard, Shahe Town, it was like a magnet, sucking the grassland coalition army one after another, and in his hands, there were no available soldiers, more than half of the casualties of the Qi Nian Division, and the Changsheng Battalion and the Whirlwind Battalion were also reduced by more than one-third, whenever Naben launched another attack, Li Qingzhen didn't know if he could withstand it. But he knew that it was the last moment, and the more the opponent tried to show up and the more crazy he became, the more it showed that they were about to be unable to withstand it, and the madness of the Murowei people had made the grassland tribes unable to sit still, and the steady advance of the mountain wind, approaching their royal court, also made them feel threatened. He can't stand it, and the opponent can't stand it either, so it depends on who breathes a sigh of relief first.

He won, and Naben finally couldn't bear the heavy pressure and was about to retire. This time Naben's retreat is of great significance, the offensive and defensive momentum of the grassland and Dingzhou was immediately reversed, and from today on, it will be my attack and defense. The strategic initiative is finally in his own hands, and for the arrival of this day, he has paid too much effort, which is really a little overwhelming.

The body shook a little, showing some falls, and quickly held the sand table in front of him, Li Qing looked at Shang Haibo in front of him, and both of them were happy.

The generals of Dingzhou gathered in front of Li Qing's case, and Li Qing's eyes swept over the bloodstained generals on their robes one by one, among them, many familiar faces were gone, and they had died gloriously on the battlefield.

"Gentlemen, we have won!" Li Qing said word by word.

Although these generals on the front line knew the news earlier than Li Qing, but Li Qing said this sentence himself, the generals still felt bursts of excitement, as soon as Li Qing's words fell, there were bursts of huge cheers in the room, a month of fierce fighting, how many times they were almost alive, how many comrades-in-arms fell forever, but finally exchanged for the final victory, which made their sacrifice a huge reward.

"We have won, but the war is not over yet, Dingzhou is not a happy land for the grassland barbarians, and they are not our guests, can they come and go if they want?" Li Qing said loudly.

"Can't!" Everyone shouted in unison. "Catch up and kill them."

"Although the barbarians have been defeated, their strength is still far superior to ours at the moment, and it is impossible to eat them in one bite, but when they leave, bite them hard and let them leave a little more blood, but it is okay, Master Shang, you can talk about it specifically!"

Shang Haibo stood up, "Generals, although we won this battle, the price we paid was also amazing, I think you also know very well that the Qinian Division has reduced its strength by half, and there are less than 15,000 people who can still fight at present, and there are only more than 6,000 cavalry left in the two battalions of the Changsheng Battalion and the Whirlwind Battalion to fight, even if we add the three forts of Dingyuan, Weiyuan, and Zhenyuan, we can not send more than 30,000 people to fight, and the enemy is more than twice as much as ours, so we can only choose one of them as the target." ”

Shang Haibo walked to the root of the sand table, holding a war knife in his hand, and said: "Everyone, please see, Naben's large army is on the Dingyuan line, and the strength of this team is too strong, we can't eat it." We want to take a hard bite of the Zhenglan Banner Su Shun Department that is far away. ”

"We don't have many people to dispatch, and the defense line of Shahe Town must leave enough manpower to prevent Naben from suddenly counterattacking, so the fifteen thousand soldiers of the Qi Nian Division will not participate in this operation, but stick to the defense line of Shahe Town. Those who participated in this attack will be the Changsheng Battalion, the Whirlwind Battalion, and most of the Panshi Battalion transferred from Dingzhou City, plus the 5,000 people drawn from the three fortresses of Dingyuan, Weiyuan, and Zhenyuan, a total of 15,000 people, which will be led by the commander himself. "Shang Hai Bodao.

"Do you have any opinions?" Li Qing asked.

Everyone shook their heads, and the defense line of Shahe Town should be on guard at this time, in case the opponent suddenly kills a horse pistol, after all, the barbarian cavalry is extremely mobile. As for the arrangement of the troops who led the troops to cover up and kill the Zhenglan Banner, everyone has nothing to say, mobilize the Panshi Battalion to participate in the war, instead of drawing a section from the Qinian Division, everyone also knows that Feng Guo, the general of the Panshi Battalion, has been guarding Dingzhou City for the marshal, and has not participated in several major battles, this time after the victory, the marshal wants to give Feng Guo a chance to make meritorious contributions, presumably this time it will be Feng Guo's general who leads the Panshi battalion to participate in the war, for this, all the generals also understand it, Feng Guo has always been the confidant of the marshal, Just looking at the marshal's several expeditions, it was Feng Guo who guarded the marshal's home, and it can be seen that Feng Guo's status in the marshal's mind. But if there is no military merit, it is a big flaw in the Dingzhou army that judges success or failure by military merit, which is not conducive to the future development of Feng Guo, so the marshal will use this opportunity to repay Feng Guo's loyalty. Anyway, the credit of the Qi Nian Division this time is also great anyway, even compared to the mountain wind that opened up the second battlefield, if there is no Qi Nian Division desperately defending the defense line of Shahe Town, then the mountain wind is useless, there is meat for everyone to eat, you can't be too greedy, so that friendly troops can also get a share of the profits, is the way to unity.

Wang Qinian smiled and said: "Dashuai, we are attacking the blue flag on the side, I don't know if the red flag Fusen has done it?" ”

Li Qing smiled, "The current Fusen must have seen the form very clearly, this wall grass will not become an obstacle for us, and the route of our troops is to pass through his Fussen's defense line." ”

"The marshal is ready to let Zhenghongqi leave calmly?" Wang Qinian said.

Li Qing nodded, "The Statistical Survey Department has sent someone to contact Fusen, he will withdraw from Weiyuan in advance, and completely expose the flank of the Zhenglan Banner, we are going to use this vacancy to insert it and strive to annihilate the Zhenglan Banner." ”

"Dashuai, is this person credible? The defeat of Bai Mountain, it was this bastard who harmed us! Jiang Kui said indignantly, in the battle of Bai Mountain, he suffered a lot, and almost died in the sky, Jiang Kui has always been resentful of Fusen, the initiator of this war.

Li Qingdao: "This time he can't play tricks, our army in Weiyuan Fortress is staring at him tightly, if he really wants to play tricks, then we will clean up him, he won't understand." This wallhead grass is smarter than anyone else. And Su Shun is also one of the culprits who killed his father, and Fusen hates him! I wish he had been destroyed by us. ”

"Su Shun never imagined that we would attack him from Fusen's defense, and we have already won this battle before it is fought!" Shang Haibo said with a smile.
