This rift directly led to mutual distrust between the middle and high-ranking officers of the two sides, and in the process of retreat, the middle and high-ranking officers of the two sides fought separately and retreated as quickly as possible, without the slightest regard for the other side, and this behavior led to the consequences of disaster, and the troops several times larger than the other side were actually driven away in panic by the enemy troops whose strength was far less than their own, and this cannot but be said to be a strange phenomenon in military history.

The coalition forces had to retreat thirty miles away to stabilize their positions, and the two coalition forces, which had seemed to be relatively harmonious, had become clear in their positions at this moment, as evidenced by the distance camps.

"Lord Sun, this defeat is entirely due to the incompetence of your subordinates, and you are fully responsible for the consequences of this battle!"

Originally, he wanted to fight a big victory in order to consolidate his position as commander of the Nuremberg Front, and even hoped to use a victory to prove to Prince Mercado, the commander-in-chief of the southern region of the empire, that he was fully capable of a more important position, but he did not expect such a scene to occur, and Kidman couldn't help but be angry when he thought of this.

"Hmph, General Kidman, I'm afraid you can't say what you say! When the enemy is suddenly attacked, who is the first to withstand the enemy's onslaught? It's us! Your Excellency, it's my subordinates who have blocked the enemy's charge with blood and **, so that you can have enough time to deal with it! But look at your people, what are you doing when we can't hold on?! Blindly defending yourself and forming a formation, without considering the plight of your allies, I blush for everything your men have done! You're embarrassed to question me, that's exactly what I'm going to ask you!"

Seeing that his army had suffered a lot of losses, Sun Yuanhui was already heartbroken and angry, and this was the foundation on which he relied to stand on it! At this time, seeing that Kidman actually put all the responsibility on his head, Sun Yuanhui was even more furious and unceremoniously ridiculed him.

"You!" Seeing Sun Yuanhui hit a rake, Kidman was furious, "Okay, you Sun Yuanhui! It turned black and white upside down, hum! I tell you, in front of everyone's eyes, the facts are there, I am not afraid that you will deny it, I will report to Prince Mercado immediately, and then see whose fault it is!"

"Hmph!" Sun Yuanhui sneered contemptuously, looked at the top of the big tent, and burst out a few words from between his teeth without showing weakness: "Kidman, I will accompany you to the end! In front of Prince Mercado, the two of us have to argue on the merits, I think the wise and wise Prince Royal Highness may not be something you can deceive in the past, if necessary, we can also go to His Majesty Fili and Prime Minister Perlman to discuss right and wrong!"

Sun Yuanhui's tough attitude surprised Kidman, in his opinion, Sun Yuanhui asked him, it should be a soft explanation, but he didn't expect the other party's attitude to be like this. For a moment, Kidman was speechless, and only the heavy gasps of the two could be heard in the big tent.

After all, Kidman is the general of the Sithro Empire who has been in charge of one side for many years, after weighing the pros and cons, he gradually calmed down and thought about countermeasures, Sun Yuanhui is an outsider, but he is an important chess piece inserted into the Tang River people in the empire, and it has a great effect on the empire, at this moment, if you make trouble in front of Prince Mercado for this matter, I am afraid that it is yourself who suffers, the situation is already like this, if you want to pass the test, you must find a suitable reason to explain the past, and this is inseparable from the cooperation of this annoying guy in front of you.

Thinking of this, Kidman took a sharp breath, forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and tried his best to relax his tone and said: "Master Sun, I think this is not the best time for us to investigate whose responsibility it is, the current situation is already like this, you and I are grasshoppers on a rope, neither can run away from you nor me, I think we still have to think of ways to deal with the current situation." ”

Sun Yuanhui also sat back in his chair weakly, Kidman was right, now is not the time to distinguish who is right and who is wrong, no matter what, it is always a fact that the dominant coalition forces have lost a battle, it is not a pleasant thing to say in front of Prince Mercado or in front of Philip V and Prime Minister Perlman, although his personal relationship with them is good, but after all, this is a major event involving a country's strategy, after such a big defeat, whoever is more responsible, as a secondary responsibility, he still can't get away with punishment, not to mention that he is now rootless duckweed, and he needs the support of the Sithlos, and he fantasizes about being able to stand on his own with the base of Ganlan Fortress alone, Sun Yuanhui is not so naïve.

Thinking of this, a wry smile appeared on his somewhat tired face, and Sun Yuanhui's voice also deepened: "Yes, General Kidman, at the moment, we have to think of a foolproof way to get through this difficulty, otherwise your [***] department will be held responsible, and it will be difficult for you and me to explain." ”

"Hmm," Kidman had completely calmed down, his face turned to the door of the tent, and a thoughtful expression appeared, "We have suffered such a big loss this time, although we are a little underestimated, but I think there are some other reasons for this. ”

Nodding, Sun Yuanhui also showed a look of reminiscence, "The general is right, although it was the rabbit cubs of the Third Garrison Division who attacked us from the side, but it was definitely not the army of Yinchuan Mansion that rushed out of the city to disrupt our deployment later, I think it seems to be the men and horses of Li Wufeng's guy in the south, these guys are really fast enough!" Sun Yuanhui's tone was both hatred and jealousy.

"Well, it should be so, but their strength is not strong enough, and the cavalry attacking from the city is obviously lacking in physical strength, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the end of the strong crossbow is not an exaggeration, but we were '''''' at the time, alas! Otherwise, we would not be able to stand so easily now. Although he suffered defeat, Kidman's eyes were still very sharp, and he could see the weakness of the cavalry troops led by Long himself at a glance, "Moreover, their strength is not strong, I don't think it will exceed the strength of two wings at most!"

"Probably not wrong, Li Wufeng's several main divisions are generally only equipped with two cavalry wings except for the cavalry division, and it seems that they also arrived with all their strength, maybe only one step faster than us. Sun Yuanhui looked unwilling, he has always paid close attention to the composition of the main force without a front, and he is also very familiar with the situation.

"Alas, if we make a mistake and lose everything, we may be one step short! Maybe the Jin Zecheng will turn against Li Wufeng's army when he sees it arrive first, and I judge that their reinforcements are not strong. Kidman looked helpless and looked into the distance outside the tent.

"Then according to the general's opinion, can we still '''''' now?" Sun Yuanhui looked at Kidman with a complicated expression with an inquiring gaze.

Slowly shaking his head, Kidman thought for a long time before saying: "I'm afraid it's too late, let's not talk about whether the enemy has reinforcements during this period of time, and they can also take advantage of this period of time to seize the rest, now our morale is too bad, to reorganize the team, I'm afraid the enemy is also rested enough to rest and wait for work, not to mention that the military hearts of your and my subordinates are probably not in unison now, if you want to force an attack, I'm afraid it will be self-defeating." Kidman's words are also true, at the moment the two armies are already in trouble, and they can't work together for a while, this battle can't be fought at all, and attacking rashly will only lose their troops.

Sun Yuanhui was also speechless for a while, lowered his head and thought for a while before he spoke again: "Then we can only return to Ganlan Fortress first and put the army in order, and you and I will also report the situation of this battle to His Royal Highness Prince Mercado. ”

"That's the only way, as for the battle report, we have to add the sudden addition of Li Wufeng's army, otherwise you and I will both be responsible. Kidman's face was gloomy and his voice was an octave lower, and getting through this was the first thing he wanted to think about.

Kidman was right, the two cavalry wings of the Fifth Division of the Dragon Self only went into battle after less than an hour's rest, it was really the end of the crossbow, but at that time, the coalition forces that were suddenly attacked from the flank had panicked and completely ignored the impact from the front, if they could have noticed this at that time and took the right countermeasures, as long as they withstood the initial wave of attacks, the situation might have changed suddenly, but history has no if, the former army of the coalition army that was stunned by the sudden attack did not have the heart to pay attention to this at all, and the two commanders were still discussing in the big tent of the Chinese armyAll of this happened.

After the end of the battle, the dragon quickly gathered his troops and retreated to Yinchuan City, the poor Kou Mo chased this sentence was interpreted just right at the moment, not that he didn't want to chase, but he simply didn't have more energy to chase again, the enemy's strength did not suffer much loss, and his side had done its best, not to mention that there were still many remnants of the enemy lurking in Yinchuan City, and stabilizing the defense of Yinchuan Mansion City was the current best policy, and Long returned to the city by himself and immediately began to exercise the power in his hands.

With the full cooperation of Jin Zecheng, the soldiers of the Third Garrison Division climbed the city wall to closely watch the situation outside the city, and the city was also three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, and ordinary residents were strictly forbidden to go out, and the patrol team began to enforce martial law on the streets to prevent the news from inside the city from being transmitted outside the city, which made the remnants of the rebels who wanted to smuggle the situation out of the city lose the opportunity. The ensuing manhunt and arrest operations also led to the uprooting of those rebel forces who tried to counterattack and put them in prison, all in a combination of open and secret ways.

While actively cooperating with Long to arrange all this on his own, while also secretly admiring the calm and sophisticated behavior of the other party, Jin Zecheng couldn't help but be full of expectations for the upcoming new ruler ---- Li Wufeng, Su Qin's shrewdness has also been seen, and he has so many capable people under his command, how can the superior be a weak? The news of the death of Lord Cheng Shou has spread in the city, and it has also caused a wave of twitching and instability, but under the pressure of the military's powerful bullets, everything quickly returned to calm, especially the continuous arrival of the army deterred those unstable elements, Jin Zecheng was already secretly glad in his heart that his original difficult choice may be the wisest decision in his life.
