"General Coolum, Christian...... Did you catch it?" When he saw Kurum and the others returning, Meng Fan hurriedly rode forward and asked.

"Marshal Claude, I'm sorry to disappoint you, we were about to capture Christian, but the enemy general Retton came with the Flying Tiger Battalion to rescue Christian...... Cullum said with a guilty face.

"Letton......" Meng Fan was stunned for a moment, "That's it, General Kurum, we will break the enemy army this time, and let Christian run away, even if this turtle grandson is lucky." Meng Fan waved his hand and said.

"Marshal Claude, will our army continue to march towards Lanyue City and attack Lanyue City?" Asta, the commander of the Royal Praetorian Guard, asked for instructions on the side.

"No, although the Bretan army was defeated by our army, there are still many Bretan soldiers who have fled, and we didn't have much food and grass with us, so it will be thankless to attack Lanyue City in this kind of ice and snow. Meng Fan shook his head, "Let's return to Liyang City now, wait and see the movements of the Brettan people, and then make the next plan." ”

————————————————

In Lanyue City, Christian, the commander of the Bretan Army, entered Lanyue City and sat in the council hall of the Lord's Palace, with seven or eight Bretan Army generals standing in front of Christian.

Two months ago, when Bretan's army had just taken Lanyue City, Christian had 400,000 troops in his hands, and now, the generals in the council chamber were more than half reduced.

"Your Highness, just now I counted the soldiers in the city, there are more than 100,000 soldiers who fled into the city from outside the Autumn Leaves Forest, plus the tens of thousands of soldiers who were originally left in Lanyue City, and now our army still has about 150,000 horses. A Bretan Army general reported.

"What about Orlando?" said Christian, who was sitting in his chair, with a gloomy face, "General Orlando was responsible for holding back the Gilgidians outside the Autumn Leaves Forest, and he and tens of thousands of his soldiers were killed. The general replied in a low voice.

After listening to the general's report, Christian's lips twitched a few times, and he led an army of 400,000 to attack Cangyun City, the capital of the king of Gilgias, and lost 250,000 horses in less than half a month, which was a shameful defeat.

"Your Highness, the commander of the Gilgidian army, Claude, is very wise, and now that our army is losing troops, it is not appropriate to continue this war, and we should withdraw our troops and return to the Kingdom of Brettan as soon as possible. General Lieton, who was standing aside, spoke.

"Yes, Your Highness, our army has already lost its advantage in this war, and it may be even more disadvantageous for us to wear it down in the Kingdom of Gilgias......" Several generals agreed with General Lieton's proposal.

"Withdraw, did you tell me to return to the Kingdom of Brettan like this?" Christian glared angrily at Lieton in front of him.

"No, I won't retreat, I'm going to transfer the 50,000 troops left in the Red Flame Fortress and continue to march towards Cangyun City. Christian clenched his fists.

As the crown prince of the Kingdom of Bretan, Christian was appointed as the commander of the army by his father Brun Sias, with nearly 500,000 troops to conquer the Kingdom of Gilgias, if Christian failed to win the war, then his image in the eyes of his father and the people will be greatly degraded, King Brunn Sias of Brettan is not only a son of Christian, Christian is worried that his father will deprive him of the right to inherit the throne because of his defeat on the battlefield.

"Your Highness, the Kingdom of Armas has long amassed 300,000 troops on the border, and they will definitely take action when they learn the news of the defeat of our army in the Kingdom of Gilgias, we need to withdraw our troops from the Kingdom of Gilgias as soon as possible to prevent the Kingdom of Armas from potentially launching an invasion of the Kingdom of Bretan. Lieton said.

The Kingdom of Amas, located to the west of the Kingdom of Bretan, has long longed for the fertile land of the Kingdom of Bretan, and the Kingdom of Armas has amassed a large army on the border between the two countries, but has not moved, because the Kingdom of Armas is waiting for a good time, and the Bretan army has suffered a crushing defeat in the Kingdom of Gilgias, which is great news for the Kingdom of Armas.

"There is Sharoman on the Armas Kingdom side to deal with, we just need to take Cangyun City......" Christian clenched his fists unwillingly.

"Your Highness, please be sober, Christian, the commander of the Kyrgyz Army, is not a simple person, and it will be difficult for you to win from this man. Lieton was admonishing Christian, the commander of the Brettan Army, who was bordering on hysteria.

"Lieton, you bastard dare to talk to me like this, the reason why our army will lose is because you lost food, grass and materials, if it weren't for your incompetence, our army would have already taken Cangyun City, I didn't settle accounts with you, you are still talking nonsense here, disturbing the morale of the army, come on, take Lieton down to me and imprison me, and wait for disposal. Annoyed, Christian stood up and scolded.

"Your Highness, it doesn't matter if you put the blame for your defeat on me, but please don't fight this war with the Kingdom of Gilgias again, it will bring disaster to the Kingdom of Bretan. When the guards came to Lieton's side, Lieton looked at Prince Christian and said.

"Bastard, you're still talking nonsense, Letton, I'm going to make you pay, you guys take him down quickly. Christian ordered with a wave of his hand.

Liyang City Lord's Mansion, ten days ago, defeated the Bretan army on the east side of the Autumn Leaves Forest, Meng Fan led the army back to Liyang City in the west, and now, Meng Fan is sitting in the council hall of the Lord's Palace, next to Meng Fan is sitting Sisella Miro, the lord of Liyang City, and there are several generals of the Gilgian royal army standing in the council hall.

Liyang City was captured from the Bretan Army by the commander of the Black Rock City Territory Army Gruya more than 20 days ago, and Gruya and 20,000 Black Rock City Territory troops were stationed in Liyang City, on the other hand, the royal army generals Nice and Oram, who burned the grain and grass of the Bretan Army on the order of Meng Fan, the commander of the Gilgidian Army, also rushed to Liyang City with 30,000 troops, and now there are 150,000 Kyrgidian troops gathered in Liyang City.

"Marshal Claude, information from the spies ahead, Christian, the commander of the Bretan Army, has transferred the 50,000 defenders of the Red Flame Fortress to Lanyue City, and the Bretan people seem to be planning to march towards our Liyang City in the next few days. "A herald reported to Meng Fan, commander of the Gilji Second Army, the military information he had just received.

"Hehe, Christian...... I can't seem to swallow this resentment. Meng Fan, who was sitting in the chair, couldn't help laughing, Meng Fan had already learned the news, there were more than 100,000 Brettan soldiers who fled into Lanyue City from outside the Autumn Leaves Forest, if you add the 50,000 defenders transferred from the Red Flame Fortress, then there should be about 200,000 Brettan troops in Lanyue City.

"Marshal Claude, Christian is carried away by resentment, if he leads his army, Marshal Claude you will be able to defeat him. Sisera, the lord of Dawn City, who was sitting on the side, spoke.

Looking at the Lord of Dawn City sitting in front of him, "Lord Sisera, you seem to have confidence in me. Meng Fan said with a smile,

"Marshal Claude, your strategy is obvious to all, and not only I have confidence in you, but the generals must also have the same thoughts as me. Cicela said, turning his head to look at the generals in the council chamber.

The generals of the Kyrgyz Army standing in the council chamber were full of respect for Meng Fan, the young commander who turned the tide in the war between the Kyrgynian Kingdom and the Bretan Kingdom.

Meng Fan stood up from his chair and looked at the people in the council chamber, "Since the Bretans are still trying to invade my Gilgidian territory, then this time, we will completely eliminate these invaders and recover all the lost territories from the Bretans." Meng Fan clenched his left hand in front of his chest and said loudly.

"Field Marshal Claude was invincible. On the side, Meng Fan's subordinate Tiberius shouted, "Marshal Claude is invincible...... Field Marshal Claude is invincible......" In the council hall, the generals of the Kyrgyz Runner-up Army waved their fists and echoed in unison.
