Zhao Hao in the city lord's mansion saw that Song Jun from other directions also came to the rescue, so he was completely relieved, but thinking of this night's embarrassment, he was also ashamed and annoyed for a while, he never dreamed that he would have such an embarrassing day, although in the end there was no danger, but if this matter was transmitted back to the capital, I am afraid it would also attract the laughter of countless people.

Cao commanded the army that rescued them and soon arrived, but unfortunately at this time Tuolin had already led his army to retreat, and a few rebels who had fallen behind due to robbery were quickly cleaned up, and the shouting and killing in the city of Thang Long Mansion finally stopped, but the Jiaozhi rebels outside the city did not retreat, but besieged Thang Long Mansion heavily, although the combat effectiveness of these Jiaozhi rebels was not strong, but the number was quite a lot, and there were thirty or forty thousand people from a distance.

"Your Highness, the last general has found out that the rebels who rushed into the city last night came in from a tunnel in the city, and the last general went down to take a look, and found that this tunnel has been built for a long time, and there are still hidden soldiers in it, it is estimated that those Jiaozhi remnants have dug the tunnel long ago, and now the tunnel has been filled by the last general." In the hall of the City Lord's Mansion, the blood-stained Commander Cao reported to Zhao Haoyu.

Yesterday, his military camp was also attacked by the rebels, but compared to Wang Dan, he was all the more, because his direction turned out to be the main and auxiliary direction of the rebels, and there were tens of thousands of rebels attacking alone, and he also fought hard to repel the enemy's attack.

"Commander Cao has done a good job for you, but now that the rebels outside the city are trapped and we don't retreat, what good way do you have next?" Zhao Hao was still a little shocked at this time, after last night's incident, he was a little impressed by Wang Dan and the others, and his attitude was much kinder.

"Your Highness, although we know that the rebels outside are led by Li Qiande, the remnant of Jiaozhi. However, our understanding of this rebel army is still extremely limited, coupled with the sudden attack of this rebel army, our army has suffered a lot of losses, so now for us, the best way is to stay put, and it is not too late to make plans when we figure out the situation outside. At this time, Wang Dan stood up and spoke. Knowing that you don't know the other is exactly the taboo in the art of war, so it is the best way to respond to all changes with the same.

"If we don't move, won't we be trapped in one place, and if there are no reinforcements outside, won't we be trapped here?" As soon as Wang Dan's words fell, he saw the high commander suddenly speak, he was also considered a great fate, after the defeat of his soldiers. The high commander actually followed Zhao Hao to the death, but in the end, he also survived, but most of the soldiers who escaped under him were killed and wounded.

"Hmph, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, have your subordinates' casualties been counted?" Zhao Hao heard the high commander speak, but he snorted coldly, through the events of last night, he was extremely dissatisfied with the high command envoy. Because he believed too much in the high commander and the combat power of his men, he almost became a prisoner of the Jiaozhi people.

"This ......" the senior commander heard Zhao Hao's words. Especially when asked about the casualties of his subordinates, he also showed a little embarrassed look on his face, and finally whispered a report, "Qi Yu...... His Royal Highness, the last general's 3,000 soldiers, after statistics, killed more than 1,600 people. More than a thousand of the remaining people were also wounded, and more than a hundred others are missing. ”

"Humph! They also deserve to be called killed in battle? Zhao Hao snorted coldly again when he heard Commander Gao's words, Zhao Hao was extremely disappointed in Commander Gao and his subordinates, Wang Dan and his thousand people could kill thousands of rebels and did not dare to step forward. On the other hand, the 3,000 soldiers under the high commander were slaughtered by others.

Hearing Zhao Hao's merciless reprimand again, the face of the senior commander was also a little ugly, but he didn't dare to refute it at all, after all, the facts were there, no matter what he said, he was very powerless, and even only humiliated himself, so it was better to shut up.

Seeing that the high commander didn't speak, Zhao Hao still felt incomprehensible, especially when he thought that when he was in the capital, this high commander often bragged in front of him about how elite his army was, as if everyone could use one as ten, but now he knew that it was actually ten as one.

Thinking of the above, I saw Zhao Hao turn his head and ask Wang Dan and the other four people: "General Wang, you all report the casualties of your army, so that this king can know in his heart!" ”

"Your Highness, the last general's 2,500 soldiers were killed in the battle last night, and 313 were killed and 567 wounded, of which 106 were seriously wounded." Commander Cao was eager to embarrass Commander Gao, so he took the lead in speaking, don't look at the casualties of his men are not small, but you must know that he faced the onslaught of tens of thousands of enemies yesterday, and it is already very good to pay such a few casualties.

"Your Highness, the last general has 2,500 soldiers, 131 were killed in the battle last night, 372 were wounded, and less than 100 were seriously wounded." At this time, I saw the short commander open his mouth, his command was mainly a firearms unit, and yesterday he was entangled by two groups of enemies, but after encountering firearms, he was quickly dispersed, so his casualties were the smallest among several troops.

Wang Dan and Dumb also reported their respective casualties, and neither of them exceeded three hundred. When the high commander heard that Cao had killed and injured several of them, and then thought about most of his subordinates, he was extremely ashamed for a while, and he wished that there was a crack in the ground for him to get into.

After all, there are still a lot of Jiaozhi people living in the city of Thang Long Mansion, but after last night's war, there are only more than 1,000 people left in the surviving Jiaozhi people, more than half of them died in last night's war, the streets are full of dead bodies, every household has lost their lives, and the crying in the city is also loud.

At the same time, in the camp of the Jiaozhi rebels outside Thang Long City, Tuo Lin, the main general who entered the city yesterday, was even more scolded, only to see a middle-aged man in his thirties standing in the camp with an angry face, pointing at Tuo Lin's nose and shouting: "Idiot! Rubbish! Idiot! I spent so much effort to let you enter the city to capture Zhao Hao, not to let you kill those ordinary people, in the future, we will also rebuild the Jiaozhi country based on Shenglong Mansion, but you slaughtered more than half of the people in the city, isn't this pushing the people's hearts to the side of the Great Song Dynasty! ”

This middle-aged man in his thirties is Li Rizun's son Li Gande, compared to his father, Li Gande is not outstanding, not tall, dark-skinned, and looks no different from ordinary natives, but his momentum is extraordinary, and a general like Tuolin doesn't even dare to breathe in front of him.

Finally, when Li Gande's anger was almost vented, Tuolin raised his head with a look of grievance and said: "Shizi, you also know that I only have a thousand cronies under my command, and the rest of the people are drawn from various tribes, they are not regular troops at all, let alone any military discipline, and even I am not willing to listen to the orders of the main general. ”

"I don't care about this, when I handed them over to you, I valued you as a veteran under my father's king, and I was able to suppress these people, but your performance really disappointed me, only an army of five thousand people, you can't restrain it, it's really disappointing to me!" Li Gande was angry again when he heard Tuolin's explanation, he naturally knew that most of his soldiers were improvised rabble, but this could not be an excuse for Tuolin's failure.

Hearing Li Qiande's reprimand, Tuolin lowered his head and didn't dare to say anything, in fact, he did have a hard time, because these people who followed Li Qiande were also divided into several forces, such as people like him who were originally loyal to the Jiaozhi country are one share, and there is also another tribe newly subdued by Li Qiande, and there is also Zhenla next to him, who also secretly funded some people, in addition to these three forces, there are some other forces left, and the relationship between these forces is complicated. Some of them are armies that belong to other forces, and they do not listen to him at all.

"Shizi, I do have an unshirkable responsibility for the failure to arrest Zhao Hao this time, but now this has become the case, in order to rebuild the great cause of Jiaozhi, I ask Shizi to give me another chance!" In the end, Tuolin finally opened his mouth to take the responsibility on himself and said, he is a die-hard member of Jiaozhi, as long as he can rebuild the country of Jiaozhi, his personal honor and disgrace are nothing to him at all.

Seeing Tuolin admit his mistake, the anger in Li Qiande's chest finally calmed down a little, and he only gasped a few times at the moment, and then slowly spoke: "For the sake of your loyalty to me, this king will temporarily write down your mistakes this time, and count them again in the future." ”

When he said this, he saw Li Gande pause for a moment and then said: "I wanted to use a sneak attack to catch Zhao Hao first, but now that we have failed, there is no other way, now the troops in our hands have been gathered in Shenglong Mansion, and the so-called morale can not be discharged, so we can only officially raise troops to rebel, but now is not the time to attack other places, we must still concentrate on catching Zhao Hao, as long as we catch this prince of the Great Song Dynasty, we can be worth 100,000 troops!" ”

"Shizi, there are tens of thousands of Song troops in the city, although our strength is several times that of the Song army, but with the combat power of the Song army, I am afraid it will not be easy to destroy them!" Tuolin heard Li Qiande's words, but he was very worried.

"It's okay, I still have a back hand hidden, I didn't want to use it, but since it has reached this point, I can't care about anything else." Li Qiande suddenly said hatefully at this time, and a murderous look shot out of his eyes. (To be continued......)
