And, not just the retreat order, he was ready to sacrifice 100,000 people in the front army and 100,000 people in the rear army to buy time for the 200,000 people of the Chinese army to retreat from the northern trail.

This made the generals of the front army and the rear army very unhappy when they heard it, but they were helpless, this was an order from the main general, and they had to listen if they didn't listen.

After the order was given, Koji immediately ordered the Chinese army of 200,000 people to evacuate from the Northern Trail.

However, because the northern trail is narrow, it will take a long time to retreat.

He now only hopes that his front and rear armies can hold out longer, so that his Chinese army can retreat more people.

"General Gao, what do you think the army of the Ziyang Kingdom under the city wants to do?"

On the Yangping Valley, Gao Shun and Zhang Liao stood at the head of the city, and behind them, soldiers were disposing of the corpses of those soldiers who had arrived in the camp first.

Gao Shun did not answer immediately, but stared at the city.

Below that, more than a hundred bed crossbows were placed at the front, and crossbow arrows were placed on them, covering all the already small areas below Yangping Valley.

And behind these bed crossbows, there stood many archers, all with bows and arrows, as if they were ready to attack the city.

But Gao Shun knew that this was definitely not a siege, because no infantry appeared in front, just bed crossbowmen and crossbowmen.

With a slight sigh, Gao Shun said: "Their formation like this is completely to prevent the cavalry from fighting, it should be to prevent our cavalry from sneaking attack, but, why would they arrange it like this? Could it be that Meng Tian's army has arrived behind?"

"There shouldn't be! It's only been more than half an hour since the news came from Jinyiwei, and it will take at least another hour for Meng Tian's army to arrive at the battlefield!" Zhang Liao said.

"Then this is ......"

Gao Shun looked at it, suddenly stared, and said, "I understand, the army of the Ziyang Kingdom is preparing to retreat!"

"Retreat?"

Zhang Liao was stunned for a moment, and said: "To the east of this Yangping Valley is the royal capital of the Ziyang Kingdom, and now Meng Tian is leading the army over there, how can they retreat?"

"Northern Trail!"

Gao Shun said in a deep voice: "Jinyiwei has news, between the east of Yangping Valley and the royal capital of the Ziyang Kingdom, there are two roads that can lead to the north of the Ziyang Kingdom, one side is the avenue, and the other is the trail, the avenue must be occupied by Meng Tian now, and now there is only the trail left, but if you want to make the 400,000 army retreat with this trail alone, it is impossible in a few days!"

"It seems that this master is ready to abandon the front army and the rear army, use it to resist our attack, and buy time for the Chinese army to retreat!"

"Then general, we will immediately send people to the Northern Trail to intercept the Chinese army of the Ziyang Kingdom!" Zhang Liao said immediately.

Gao Shun shook his head for a while, and said: "From us to the northern trail, we have to climb the mountains, and the number of people is at most 2,000, such a small number of people is not enough for the army of the Ziyang Kingdom to charge!

Zhang Liao thought about it and nodded for a while.

"However, the general, the last general is a little puzzled, why don't they set up a battle and fight with us in the open? They have 400,000 people, and they are not afraid to fight us head-on!" A general next to him looked at Gao Shun with some doubts.

Gao Shun smiled and said, "You're right, they have 400,000 people, and they will definitely not be afraid to fight us head-on, but will we fight them head-on?"

"I led the army to guard Yangping Valley, Meng Tian's hundreds of thousands of troops were blocked behind, and the terrain to the east of Yangping Valley was not suitable for the infantry to fight in formation, it just so happened that now the army of the Ziyang Kingdom is in this area, we only need to surround them, within ten days, their military rations will run out, except to surrender is a desperate fight!"

"When the time comes, we will be able to wait for our work, and it will be easier to win the battle!"

When the general heard this, he was stunned for a while, and said: "So that's the case, it seems that the main general of the Ziyang Kingdom is not stupid, and he knows to retreat immediately!"

"To be able to become the commander of an army, no one is stupid!" Gao Shun shook his head, stared at the army of the Ziyang Kingdom, and said, "I'm curious about who this main general is, there are elite soldiers like the one before, and the combat effectiveness is not under the camp!"

"The last general, let the Jinyi Guard investigate!"

Gao Shun nodded.

More than an hour later, Meng Tian led the army to the place, and when he saw that the army of the Ziyang Kingdom in front of him was ready, he waved his hand to make the army stop, set up a formation, and prepare for battle.

In the camp of the Ziyang Kingdom, Bao Xin, the commander of the 100,000-strong rear army, was sitting in his military tent, and his face was very ugly, because his 100,000 people were arranged to be cut off.

To put it more bluntly, it is to die!

Because he had to face hundreds of thousands of troops in the Southern Yan Kingdom, and there were cavalry in it, and a large number of siege equipment was obtained from the royal capital.

And his 100,000 people are not the elite of the army, but they have to do what this elite should do!

"General, if I really wait here to fight to the death and not retreat, then the 100,000 sons under our command will really be over! But look at Na Liyi, he arranged for the army to retreat, if he waited until the Chinese army was halfway before leaving, I wouldn't say anything, but he was the first to leave with his own soldiers, what should I think? He, a main general, ran away like this, is it possible that we still have to stick here?" An adjutant general looked at Bao Xin full of resentment.

"That's right, his life is life, isn't our life life? As a commander, he runs faster than anyone else, how can we be convinced?"

"That's it, he's just relying on a good identity, if he hadn't done the stupid thing of attacking the city before, and arranged for the army to retreat earlier, we would have more troops to go!"

Several of the generals under Bao Xin were very dissatisfied with Koji Yi.

Because Koji Yi arranged for the front army to be broken after the army, he was a chief general, and he led his own soldiers to run faster than rabbits.

Bao Xin looked at these lieutenants to him, smiled bitterly, and said: "Do you think I want to? But I am a general, the prince of Koyi, and the chief general, and I must obey his orders!"

"But even if this is the case, we don't need to be stupid here, it's better for us to surrender to Meng Tian first, let us bring our own soldiers to the camp to accept our surrender, and when he approaches, we let the bow and crossbow shoot, we don't believe that we can't kill Meng Tian! As long as Meng Tian is dead, our chance will come!" a general suggested.

"This ......"

Bao Xin groaned slightly, unable to make a decision.

"General, this is the only way for us to preserve the strength of the army, let's make a decision!"

"General, make a decision!"

All the generals below said so.

Bao Xin groaned slightly, gritted his teeth, and said: "Okay, let someone go and inform Meng Tian, just say that we surrender, let him come over to receive the army! At the same time, you are also ready, as long as Meng Tian is close, immediately attack!"

"Yes!"
