Tuoba Hong frowned, although he had already been reminded by Gao Lu, it was too late to change the formation temporarily. At this time, the generals in front ran back to report that the army had suffered 300,000 casualties.

The Northern Korean army was even worse.

With such large-scale casualties, how can we go back and explain to the people???

Tuoba Hong's already white sideburns were even more frosty overnight, and the person was also sharply emaciated.

Monarchs and ministers were helpless.

A whole day of military meetings was held, and almost every counteroffensive strategy was vetoed, not to mention that the Northern Army did not know the nature of the water, just where to find so many warships temporarily??

Not to mention the warships, even the fishing boats could not be found.

Without ships, how can you fight against the thousands of warships of the Southern Dynasties? Do you want the soldiers to practice the kung fu of floating on the water and fight the enemy???

Tuoba Hong was white-headed all night, lying in the tent, unable to sleep at night.

Since he was a teenager, he has been on a military expedition and has experienced more than a dozen wars. However, there has never been such a difficult time, and almost before the action is made, most of the number of people has been lost, and if this continues, there is no chance to fight back, and their own army will be completely annihilated.

He couldn't help but think of Feng Miaolian's repeated efforts to dissuade him before he set out on the expedition.

Could it be that there is really providence in the dark???

Could it be that this is really the place where I am buried??

He walked out of the tent.

From the isolated island, the white waves below are monstrous, and the corpses are all over the field.

And overhead, there is a sky full of starlight, blinking and looking at this terrifying hell on earth.

For the first time, he was so disgusted with this terrible war.

For several days, Tuoba Hong couldn't eat or sleep, and he immediately lost weight.

Every day, the monarchs and ministers of the northern kingdom look at this isolated island caught in the ocean. They were northerners, and they were helpless against this terrible scene.

Some people complained vigorously, and many people's eyes looked at King Xianyang, "Lord Wang, didn't you say that our northern kingdom must be invincible when you came?" ”

"Yes, the prince was the one who advocated the war at the beginning, and now it's better......"

"Since General Liu of the Southern Dynasty dares to attack us, he is obviously prepared, otherwise how could he be so fearless?"

"I really can't imagine that they would use such a poisonous plan, it's just too poisonous......"

……

The king of Xianyang stood on a high place, eager to jump into the white waves of the river.

He secretly looked at the imperial brother, but saw that he was looking into the distance from a distance of seven or eight feet, and ignored the noisy shouting of the ministers here.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

Tuoba Hong is never a person who blames others at any time, and if there is any mistake, he will not easily push it on others. The most important thing is that he knows that this expedition is not the result of his own persistence, but the result of his Tuoba Hong's persistence.

Gradually, a smile appeared at the corner of King Xianyang's mouth, which was not easy to detect.

The monstrous waves are inevitable, and the death toll is almost as high as 300,000.

In decades, there had never been such terrible casualties in the northern kingdom, almost more than three times the number of deaths in all large and small wars during the reign of Empress Dowager Feng combined. Let's see how he goes back and explains.

Moreover, in this expedition, the northern country is known as a large army of 1 million, and its real number is also five or six hundred thousand. In this way, half of the number of people has died, and if they continue to hold on, will they not be wiped out?

He glanced quietly at the audience.

Those Xianbei people were still discussing fiercely among the Han people, trying to come up with a plan to retreat from the enemy as soon as possible. He smiled contemptuously, looked at Taiwei Tuoba Jia and Dongyang Wang and the others, and then winked.

A few Xianbei old people have gone to a secluded place.

The succeeding King Dongyang and his father had completely different tempers, he was very timid, and kept looking around: "We are talking here, will Your Majesty find out?" ”

The lieutenant laughed and mocked him.

"You are really cowardly, Your Majesty is now anxious, how can he care about you? ? It's too late for him to retreat......"

"Exactly, he is deliberating with his gang of Han ministers to retreat from the enemy...... However, this Majesty is no longer the Majesty of our Xianbei people, and at such a critical juncture, he didn't even consult with us, but actually discussed with that Xie Xian. What does Xie Xian Huangkou know about? ”

"Your Majesty has always trusted those famous people of the Southern Dynasty. Don't underestimate them too much, it is said that this Xie Xian's ancestor is called Xie An or something, when he faced off with Emperor Fu Jian, Emperor Fu Jian claimed to be a million military horses, and Fu Jian played chess while commanding men and horses, and actually defeated Emperor Fu Jian......"

"Phew, blow it, how can Xie Xian have such skills??"

"By the way, speaking of Emperor Fu Jian, think about it, now our situation is like Fu Jian......"

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you.

That's true.

In that year, Fu Jian led a million military horses to fight against the Southern Dynasty, known as the horizontal whip to intercept the stream, and the horse stepped on the Yellow River, as a result, the battle of Huangshui, the Southern Dynasty won more with less, and the huge former Qin Empire collapsed, and also achieved the famous Southern Dynasty Prime Minister Xie An.

Now, the northern kingdom is similar to the former Qin, they are all northern minorities, they are all ignorant of water, and they all have to go through the consideration of the Yellow River and the Huai River...... are all besieged in the water......

The time of the end has come.

Everyone looked from a secluded place, but saw Tuoba Hong and Gao Lu, Xie Xian and other cadres still observing the terrain and strategy from a high place.

The king of Dongyang sneered: "It's really ridiculous, they are still thinking of a way to retreat from the enemy?" ”

"Now the white waves are surging, unless he borrows a big scoop to scoop up all the water of the Huai River......"

"Hahaha......"

The crowd laughed and was unscrupulous.

Thankfully, it was windy, and no one could hear what they were laughing at.

Taiwei restrained his laughter and lowered his voice: "Lord Wang, look at this time, what are our chances of winning?" ”

King Xianyang didn't smile all the time, he frowned tightly, his mouth was closed tightly, and when he heard the Taiwei ask, he didn't answer in a hurry, but muttered for a while before slowly saying one word at a time: "This is our best chance......

Everyone's hearts were shaken.

At this time, looking at it, there was a white expanse everywhere, and on the opposite side, it was densely packed with the army of the Southern Dynasty, so to speak, even if Tuoba Hong had wings, it would be useless.

There were some looted boats, which were secretly prepared by the strategists for His Majesty and the ministers, and as a last resort, they would abandon Shouyang and flee by boat.

"Lord Wang, if Your Majesty really abandons the city and flees, what will happen?"

"Impossible! He will never abandon the city. He has a strong sense of self-esteem, and he is bent on surpassing Empress Dowager Feng in all aspects, and he will never do such a thing as running away and surrendering. ”

He's his brother, so he knows him very well.

The eyes of the senior Xianbei nobles gradually brightened.

"Lord, what do you mean?"
