The matter of the fainting of the emperor's majesty was tightly sealed by his important ministers.

Fortunately, Saladin was able to reawaken after only a quarter of an hour, so that the courtiers of the Omani kingdom would not lose their backbone.

However, a series of bad news news in the rear could not be blocked no matter what.

Even if at first, some Omani soldiers could not believe it, and some officers were spontaneously maintaining order, but as two days passed, no new grain and grass was sent from the rear, and the boiling news was invisibly confirmed.

Although the upper echelons never came forward to explain anything, many knowledgeable soldiers had an idea: this Northern Expedition may be a failure.

Saladin's heart was also aware of this outcome, but he really couldn't accept this fact in his heart.

Over the past two days, he has held three meetings in a row in an attempt to come up with a solution to the problem.

But every time, there is only one outcome that is finally discussed, and that is to withdraw the troops!

Retreating all the way from Tianlong City to Nanfeng Fortress only alleviated the temporary crisis.

But now, half a year after the army went out, the only weakness has been found by the Imperial people and magnified to the maximum.

The constraints of grain and grass, coupled with the clear walls of Nanfeng Mansion, doomed the army to continue to evacuate.

Retreat from the South Peak Fortress to the battered Castle of Koy - and beyond!

"Is there really no other way?"

It would be a pity if the South Peak Fortress that had been won so hard was abandoned like this.

You must know that in order to capture this fatal defense line for the Omanis, coupled with the battle under Tianlong City, the Omani soldiers suffered more than 100,000 casualties.

If you just let the empire take it back, next time you want to take it back, I don't know how long it will take!

"Perhaps, a few troops can be left to defend."

Some of his generals tried to come up with a plan, and the people of the next division who were allocated for the limited food distribution at present might be able to survive until the chaos in the rear was calmed down and new food could be brought back to them.

However, this hope is slim no matter what.

Perhaps it was a coincidence that at this time, new information came about the tailgating of the Taiping army.

More than 20,000 combined troops of the Taiping Army and the Tiannan Army had chased them to a day-and-a-half-a-half's distance from the army and camped on the spot.

This news undoubtedly became the last straw that broke the camel's back!

The food in the fortress of Nanfeng was not enough to support the continued garrison of the army, and it was necessary to retreat in a big way.

If some soldiers are left, it will be difficult to face the counterattack of the Imperials.

When the Empire built this place, they deliberately designed a one-way defensive arrangement so that the South Peak Fortress could not have the slightest defensive effect in the face of attacks from the north.

What did the remaining Omani soldiers do against the 20,000 imperial soldiers who were in hot pursuit?

There may even be more reinforcements behind this!

"Your Majesty, when the interruption continues, it will be chaotic."

Realizing that the current situation of the army was already very dangerous, Yan Huahui came out and asked Saladin to make a decision as soon as possible.

It's been two or three days since the news came back from the Castle of Coy.

If we continue to delay without hesitation, God knows if there will be worse situations and accidents.

At that time, there is a real possibility that the army will collapse on its own soil!

“…… Well, the will of the Prophet. ”

Saladin's expression was extremely depressed, and he couldn't hear his feelings, and gave the order to abandon the South Peak Fortress and withdraw his troops completely.

Even though he knew it was the best choice right now, it was heartbreaking for him to say this difficult decision in person.

All the military generals also know what this decision means.

Countless financial and material resources were expended, hundreds of thousands of troops were killed and wounded, and even the most elite ace troops were severely damaged, and in the end they returned to the original point.

Except for the turmoil in Tiannan County, the Tiannan Army also made great sacrifices, and nothing else seems to have been gained.

This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the ambitious Saladin.

Although it will not shake the prestige he has built up over the past 20 years on the throne, it is conceivable that the Kingdom of Oman will have a very hard time in the next two or three years.

"Damn Chen Wu!"

He silently recited the name that had turned the tide at a critical moment and destroyed the best opportunity for the Omanis in two decades, and made up his mind.

It won't be long before he makes a comeback!

Next time, you will never be given any more chances.

……… October of the year 672 in the continental calendar.

A piece of news that shook the entire Eastern Continent spread from Tiannan County to the surroundings as if it had grown wings.

The Omanis, who used the strength of more than 300,000 troops to the north, captured the Nanfeng Fortress and fought all the way to Tianlong City, but they were reversed one after another in just half a month, and were finally forced to withdraw from the territory of the empire!

The government and the opposition were shaken, and the states and countries were even more surprised.

All the forces are scrambling to find out the truth of the Tiannan War.

With such a heavy thing, it is impossible to hide from many eyeliners.

Soon, the specific inside story spread.

The rebels of the Taiping Army, who were famous for a while, after accepting Zhao'an, stood out and burned down the grain depots of the Omanis on the front line.

Subsequently, while reinforcing Tianlong City, the Omanis were forced back at the last moment of the city's destruction; On the other hand, he sent 800 cavalry south in the starry night, broke through the fortress of Nanfeng, and raided the Omani frontline town of Koi Castle.

At the same time, the Hue Dynasty and the remnants of the Nam Thai Kingdom, which had been extinct for more than a decade, also coincidentally launched an attack at the same time.

The Omani army, which was short of grain and grass, and the grain route was cut off, was forced to retreat for a full two hundred kilometers!

The news spread, the former Taiping Army's Tiangong general, the current Songjiang Governor Tiannan, recruited Chen Wu, who became famous in the first battle, and spread his prestige to the entire Eastern Continent for the first time, and was concerned by major forces and kingdoms.

The impact and changes brought about by this war are even more far-reaching.

Knowing that the Omani Kingdom's attack had ended in failure, the Lena Dynasty's land offensive in Yanyun County was suddenly terminated.

In Donghai County, the harassment and containment of the Imperial Sailors by the Ocean Sailors also tended to stop.

The pressure on the empire in the northeast direction was greatly reduced.

At the same time, hundreds of thousands of the most elite city guards were in plain sight in Yuanshan County.

Seeing that the Taiping army really sent troops according to their words, and defeated the Omanis beyond everyone's expectations, they could only withdraw to Zhongzhou in disgrace, leaving only one division to continue to be stationed.

Tang Mingzhe, the commander of the city guard, wanted to take the opportunity to take Daqingguan.

But he knew very well that the Taiping army could not be defenseless.

And with the terrain of Daqingguan, as long as there are a few thousand people stationed at random, it is impossible to take it in a few months.

What's more, the Taiping army had just accepted Zhao'an, and defeated the invading Omanis, and their prestige was victorious.

If the center acts against the Taiping army at this time, it will be morally untenable, and it will give people the impression that the birds are hiding the rabbits and the dead dogs.

For an already shaky empire, the best thing to do right now is to accept the established facts.

In any case, Songjiang and Tiannan counties still maintained nominal sovereignty and did not fall into the hands of the Omanis.

Either way, it's the best situation in the ideal.

With the help of the Taiping army to defend the southeast, the Omanis are no longer a threat for the time being, and the Lena people in the northeast are now also silent.

For the Empire, the only threat in the short term is the Wudou Midao rebels in the southwest!

The center just took out all its energy, first solved the five buckets of rice Dao, and then used the rare time to recuperate and relieve the financial pressure on the verge of collapse, and then slowly tried to recover.

In any case, after the news of Tiannan's victory spread, the princes of the center breathed a sigh of relief and could sleep well for the time being.

Those ministers who had previously opposed Zhao'an were dumbfounded, embarrassed by the current situation, and had nothing to say.

Even Qian Yuanji's impression of Chen Wu was much better.

According to the little eunuch who served the meal, when he was eating at night, he was stunned for a moment on the plate, and suddenly a sentence came out, "Why should a beautiful woman be a thief"

。

Then he sighed, "Such a general, he was forced to rebel and couldn't be used by me"

"The dog officer should be killed"

, regretful.

If time can be turned back, the first thing the old emperor will do is to order the county order of Yicheng County, Longshan Prefecture, to exterminate the family!

It is a pity that there is no if and no regret medicine in the world, and Qianyuanji can only easily accept the fact that Tiannan County and Songjiang County were essentially divided by a group of rebels when the war in the southeast, east, and northeast directions ended almost at the same time.

I only hope that the new governor, who is extremely talented in fighting wars, is far less talented in governing the region than in military affairs...... This is the only hope that Qian Yuanji has at the moment.

……… The army of the Omanis was really repelled by the Taiping army!

The news was transmitted back to Tianlong City, to the fleeing people on the border of Puyuan County, and to the entire Songjiang, which also caused unprecedented shock and disbelief.

If it is said that many people were only forced by the military strength of the Taiping Army to accept Chen Wu's existence, then at this moment, this perception has changed dramatically in a short period of time.

For a long time, the people of the empire who have won foreign wars have been called heroes, even regardless of what they have done before.

Chen Wu's Taiping Army, the key play in the Tiannan War, made many local heroes and officials realize that Chen Wu's entry into Songjiang Tiannan was an irresistible fact.

The youngest governor in the history of the empire will be in a position that cannot be shaken for the foreseeable future!

More discerning people, starting to become a new governor, even tried to prepare to bet on him.

The personal envoys of several princes of the eight major lords of the various forces in the empire, who had already visited the Taiping Army once, also came to the door again shortly after leaving.

And this time, they have prepared even more generous gifts.

If the previous visit was more out of etiquette and wanted to make a good fate, then this time, representatives of various forces came to congratulate him, and he had a further idea.

A qiē change stems from Chen Wu's status and fame.

Previously, under the threat of the Omanis, a governor of Songjiang may not be able to sit firmly, and Tiannan County only exists in name.

And now, not only has the power of a big victory over the Omanis, but also completely sits on the two counties.

No one can ignore such a force, even if it is still not powerful!
