The leisurely mood was immediately left behind, and while analyzing the situation, Wu Feng immediately ordered his subordinates to send a letter to Taixuan, asking Ling Tian to go to Lulong City immediately while strengthening Taixuan's defenses. www.biquge.info At the same time that the battle situation on the Eastern Front was becoming tense, Wu Feng did not expect that the situation had reversed in the rear that he regarded as safe.

Looking at the fire that rose to the sky, the cold wind of early winter fueled the raging fire everywhere, which was originally expected by Helianbo, but he still did not estimate that the fire would develop so violently in a short time, and the flames of chaos were not diverted by the will of his own side, and if he was not careful, he might even involve his own troops.

On the one hand, he organized the troops to retreat quickly in an orderly manner, and on the other hand, Helian Bo was also arranging the follow-up reconnaissance work on the horse, and this long battle was defeated by himself, but it could not be turned into a rout, and the enemy could not take the opportunity to chase after him, although the fire array was blocked for a while, but it could not last, but fortunately, he also reserved the light cavalry troops led by Ling Fox Wing as a support force, hoping that they could successfully contain and harass the infantry that would soon follow up with the other party, and win more time for their side.

Emilian looked at the situation in front of him angrily, he realized that he was really a little careless, he didn't expect the enemy to come to such a disadvantaged situation, not only caused himself to consume and lose a large number of men and horses, but also blocked the path of his pursuit with fire, so that the cavalry could not quickly follow up and kill, the fire made the war horses frightened, and it was difficult to play a mobile role. Although this did not affect the overall situation, the excessive consumption of troops still made him angry. The infantry has quickly followed, but whether they can bite the other party, is still unknown, it seems that the opponent is not an idle person, the commander in his own advice before leaving and recalled in his ears, if you can't quickly take the double pile, it seems that their responsibility is really not easy to get rid of it.

On December 17, 695 in the continental calendar, the Grand Duchy of Luzon highlighted its surprise troops and attacked Northwest Luzon in three ways under the leadership of General Emilian, the commander of the central route. On December 18, General Emilian led the main force of the Luzon army to defeat the main force of the resisting Shuangdui garrison 30 kilometers south of Shuangdui, and captured Shuangdui, the central city of Luzon in the northwest. On December 19, the Luzon West Route army bloodlessly occupied Mingzhu Town, an important town ----in the western part of Luzon, northwest Luzon, and regained control of the Green Sea Marsh area. On December 21, the Luzon Eastern Route Army occupied the town of Crater and cut off the road from Vito to Shuangdui. At this point, with the exception of the Bauhinia Pass fortress in the northwest corner, most of Northwest Luzon rebelonged to the Grand Duchy of Luzon.

Bauhinia Pass Fortress, where the two remnants of the army converged, Helian Bo, who was covered with smoke and fire marks, and Ling Foxyi, who was covered with smoke and fire, looked at me, I looked at you, and the originally gloomy face finally showed a knowing smile.

There were no other superfluous words, only the joy and excitement of the rest of the fierce battle, the big hands of the two were tightly clasped together, shaking vigorously, this moment witnessed the friendship between the two high-ranking generals of the empire in the future.

The infantry and auxiliaries of the three wings of the double-dui garrison division that had withstood the repeated ravages of the Luzon cavalry were less than a thousand people left, and a considerable part of them were wounded, especially the hoplites were almost completely lost.

In order to gain more time for the retreating infantry, a wing of light cavalry led by Ling Fox Wing, who was responsible for responding to the harassment, also bravely intercepted regardless of casualties, and its tragedy made Ling Fox Wing cry, but they finally succeeded in completing the blocking mission, although they paid a heavy price, but their will to fight made Ling Fox Wing particularly proud.

In the book "The Legend of Luzon", published by the Imperial State Publishing House a few decades later, Ling Huyi recounted this first defeat since the debut of Li Wufeng, the founding emperor of the empire, with detailed text content, and the book won two laurels from the Imperial Cultural Administration that year, the Best Military Literature Award---- the Contradiction Award, the Best Documentary Literature Award---- the Spiegel Award, and caused a sensation in the imperial literary circles that year.

However, some people say that a large part of this is due to the influence of the emperor's personal inscription for the book, and some people even say that because several major officials of the empire jointly advised the emperor to return the so-called title fee for publishing this book, the emperor was furious, and repeatedly reprimanded the imperial secret bureau for being extremely useless, and even such private matters were discovered by the officials. This anecdote caused numerous stirs and was widely circulated in the upper echelons of the empire. There are even so-called insiders who say that the whistleblower is actually the author Ling Huyi himself, because he does not want to be extorted by His Majesty the Emperor for a high signing fee, so he leaked the secret to His Majesty the Emperor's concubines, and the concubines investigated His Majesty's request to hand over the extra income, His Majesty resolutely refused to admit it, and the concubines were angry and stabbed the situation to the officials of the supervision department.

There are countless versions of the anecdote about this matter, which outsiders talk about, and the real story is naturally unknown, perhaps only a few parties know, but this also adds an interesting anecdote to the legendary life of the Fengliu Emperor Li Wufeng.

The comprehensive statistics were quickly reported, except for the fifth wing transferred from Mingzhu Town, the other four wings can be called incomplete, and the two pure infantry wings can be canceled, because there is not much left, even a mixed wing has been scattered, and the cavalry wing led by Ling Huyi has also suffered heavy losses, more than 4,000 horses, less than 2,800 people have returned to the Bauhinia Pass, and the combat effectiveness of the entire Shuangdui garrison division has dropped by more than half, and there are less than 8,000 people who can fight in one battle.

This battle can really be described as a loss of soldiers, labor and money, but from a political point of view, it is a battle that has to be fought, Helian Bo and Ling Huyi carefully analyzed and summarized, and finally came to such a conclusion, pay such a big price, but also be worthy of the fathers and villagers in Northwest Luzon, but now the Shuangdui garrison division has basically lost its combat effectiveness, whether it can hold this Bauhinia Pass, it depends on the movement of the two divisions and regiments far away in Wusun.

However, at present, the defense capability of Bauhinia Pass is not what it used to be, under the request of Liang Chongxin, Lu Man basically met the requirements of the military, and invested a large amount of strength in the defense facilities, many of which are even only available in the northwest county, such as giant catapults, A lot of improved bed crossbows and so on have been transported, which has greatly improved the defense capability of the Bauhinia Pass fortress, and even the construction of the moat has been completed, this fortress has actually become the best bridgehead for the Wufeng forces to expand westward, the north can threaten Kucha, the west can deter the Indians, and it can also indirectly affect the country to which the caravan belongs, and the influence of the Wufeng can even extend all the way to the western continent and the West Tengger grassland.

Before the outbreak of the war, Helian Bo and Lu Man had secretly transported a large number of strategic materials and logistics materials to this fortress, and many figures in Shuangdui City who were pro-Wufeng faction also secretly sent their families here, and this place also became the only territory controlled by Li Wufeng in Northwest Luzon after the loss of Shuangdui, and it was also the last piece of sustenance in the hearts of Helian Bo and Ling Huyi, they had made up their minds to hold this place no matter what, even if there was only one soldier left in the battle, they would not retreat, this was their final bottom line.

"How's the situation?" The middle-aged man had an extraordinary bearing and a rather calm expression.

"The army of the Luzon has entered the city, but the situation in the city is relatively calm and there is no confusion. "The young man is dressed in a strong suit, he looks very capable, and his attitude is extremely respectful.

"I didn't expect that as soon as I arrived here, I encountered such a trouble, it was really better to come early than to come by coincidence!" said the middle-aged man with a wry smile.

"Uncle Shi doesn't have to worry, Lord Lu has already greeted us two days ago, we want everyone to treat it calmly, maintain restraint, pay attention to observation, and wait patiently. Even he himself hasn't left, and he's still working in the castle guard's mansion. The young man's face was not nervous, and explained.

"Oh?" the middle-aged man was surprised, "what did you say?

"Yes, Lord Lu said that he is an official appointed official of the Empire, and this is the Autonomous Axe, and the Luzon people have also signed a formal treaty with Lord Lee, and the status here has long been clear, and it is their business for the Luzon to tear up the agreement, he has nothing to fear, he still has to fulfill his own duties until he can no longer fulfill them. Most of the people in the city support and respect him. The young man replied solemnly with admiration on his face.

With a long breath, the middle-aged man's face was shocked, "I can't imagine that Master Li's subordinates are really capable people, and even such a remote place will have such lofty views and outstanding talents, which is really thought-provoking." ”

After thinking about it, the middle-aged man strengthened his belief in his heart, and he asked again, "Then did Lord Lu ask us to do anything?"

"There is no specific request, but he asks us to watch out for those who have abnormal reactions, and the Luzon people can be agreed to as long as they do not do anything detrimental to the Empire. However, his words are very subtle and difficult to understand. The young man scratched his scalp and said with some embarrassment.

"Haha," the middle-aged man laughed loudly, "In such an occasion, can you still ask him to say it clearly and directly? That's too embarrassing for others, just have a general meaning, understand it yourself." ”

"Uncle Junior, what should we do?" the young man then asked.

"Well, since Master Lu didn't ask for anything specific, then we still have to do whatever we should do, whether we should open the hall for training or open for training, whether we should recruit disciples, or recruit disciples, everything is no different from usual. As for Lord Lu, you can secretly assure Lord Lu that our Bashan Gu family absolutely supports Lord Li, please rest assured that if he needs anything from this sect, just open his mouth, and this sect will go all out. The middle-aged man replied with a smile but a firm tone.

"Uncle Shi?" The young man was a little surprised, but he knew that the third uncle was known as a think tank in the door, so he didn't want to ask too much.

"Okay, let's do as I say, the Luzon people will stay here for a short time, and this place will return to Master Li's hands. The middle-aged man said with a smile, his tone unquestionable.

The young man didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he quickly nodded in agreement, saluted and left. The middle-aged man looked out of the window thoughtfully, selling to the other party at this time, its effect is definitely far more than a hundred times that of ordinary times, of course, it depends on whether this treasure bet is right or not, but he is full of confidence in his judgment.
