In this stealing camp, the Ningnan army was not a complete victory, but the Feng army was a complete defeat. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info or the wind army was completely beaten back to its original form by the main force of the Ningnan army.

The commander of the Righteous Army and the Wang Ting Army could not take advantage of the head-on battle with the Ningnan Army at all, and after a fierce battle, more than half of them were killed or wounded, while the Third Army also had more than 20,000 casualties among the soldiers and 300,000 troops, and only 160,000 or 70,000 people finally withdrew from the camp with Shangguanxiu.

The defeat of this battle is that the combat strength of the Feng Army is indeed not strong, close to 300,000 troops, of which 200,000 are Duki people, and the second is that the Ningnan Army has too many troops, and the main force of the Ningnan Army is almost all invested in this battle.

Third, because of the lack of preparation of the Feng Army, even Shangguan Xiu, he thought that the main force of the Ningnan Army had passed through the Thamel Canyon and continued to flee north, but he did not expect that the main force of the Ningnan Army passing through the Thamel Gorge was just a suspicious array deliberately put up by others, and the real main force was hidden in the Thamel Canyon, recuperating, just waiting to give the Wind Army a fatal blow.

In fact, in this battle, the Ningnan Army can also be fought or not, after all, the main force of the Ningnan Army has successfully entered the Thamel Gorge, and now it can go directly north and march in the direction of the city-state of Volo.

The reason why Xin Jiyao insisted on fighting this battle was mainly because he was worried that Shangguan Xiu would come to pursue him.

Shangguan Xiu's Feng Army, although the main force is all Duki people, and the combat power is not strong, but being followed behind by such a tail has to make the main force of the Ningnan Army be careful at all times, which will undoubtedly greatly slow down the northward march of the whole army.

And once the marching speed is slowed down, this is equivalent to giving the main force of the wind army a good opportunity to pursue their own side. Shangguan Xiu is not a matter of concern, but if the main force of the Feng Army pursues and kills him, it will be different, for the Ningnan Army, there is a danger of annihilation.

In order to completely get rid of the pursuit of the main force of the Wind Army, Xin Jiyao must eradicate the threat posed by Shangguan Xiu to his side, and it is imperative to sneak attack the Feng Army camp.

On one side was the ten legions of the Ningnan Army, totaling 6,700,000 troops, on the other hand, there were three legions led by the Dukis, with an army of less than 300,000 troops; on the other hand, they were ready to attack, and on the other hand, they were caught off guard and rushed to meet the battle.

In such a battle with a huge disparity in strength, how can the wind army be undefeated?

It's just that the strategic intention of the Ningnan Army has not been fully achieved, Xin Jiyao wants to annihilate all the Feng Army, but in the end, the remnants of the Feng Army successfully broke through the encirclement, and more than 100,000 Feng troops escaped from the camp.

Shangguan Xiu and the remnants of the Feng army retreated for dozens of miles all the way to the east, until they arrived at Yangbukan City, and the Feng army stopped the rout, and all of them retreated into Yangbukan City. The pursuing Ningnan army did not dare to attack the city, and all retreated back to the Thamel Gorge.

The first battle of Thamel Canyon came to an end.

Shangguan Xiu sat on the head of Yangbukan City, surrounded by several medical officers bandaging his wounds. Seeing the big and round blood hole on Shangguan Xiu's shoulder, everyone present was secretly grinning.

Don't look at this wound is only on the shoulder, but it is a stab wound of the spirit spear, the wound is extremely deep, it is not easy to heal, and it is not easy to stop the bleeding.

"Your Highness, it's windy in the city, let's go into the city and rest!" Hu Chong cautiously stepped forward and said in a low voice.

Shangguan Xiu looked at Hu Chong, and then looked at the other generals, people counted one by one, all of them were embarrassed, their faces were black, red, and white, all of them became big flower faces, and the military uniforms on their bodies were even more damaged and bloodstained.

He looked around, couldn't help but laugh out loud, shook his head and said: "Just a few days ago, I swore and said that I could take her defense within three days, but now, I only used one night to lose a mess, now think about it, it's really ironic!"

Hu Chong, Menshak, and Zhao Chen glanced at each other, lowered their heads one after another, and whispered, "Please forgive your Highness!"

Shangguan Xiu asked, "What are you guilty of?"

"Is the last general negligent......"

"It was the subordinates who failed to find out the movements of the main force of the Ningnan Army......"

"It's not that you're negligent, it's not that you're doing things badly, it's that I'm too careless. "Shangguan Xiu is not a person who will shirk responsibility, he will definitely shoulder the responsibility that he should bear.

He said faintly: "I really didn't expect that the people of Ningnan would use a trick to return the carbine. He took a deep breath, changed his words, and asked, "Have you brought Li Ling's body out?"

Hu Chong said: "It has been brought back, Your Highness." After a pause, he cleared his throat and said, "The Righteous Army Legion and the First Legion of the Wang Ting Army have suffered more than half of the casualties, and General Li has been killed again, Your Highness, do you want to merge the Righteous Army Legion into the First Army now?"

"No!" Shangguan Xiu stood up and said, "The Rebel Army Legion was exchanged for Li Ling's life, and I have the responsibility to help Li Ling fulfill his last wish and let it continue to exist." From now on, the Rebel Army Legion is officially established, with the number Zero Legion, and as long as the Wind Country is still there, the Zero Legion will never be destroyed. ”

The reason why he wanted to give the name 'zero' to the Righteous Army Legion was to take the homonym of the word Ling, in order to commemorate the memory of Li Ling who died in battle, and secondly, he hoped that the Righteous Army Legion could start from scratch and grow into a real tiger and wolf army.

"Old Hu. ”

"The last general!"

"At the moment, who can take over Li Ling's position?"

"This ......" Hu Chong sighed secretly, His Highness asked himself who would be able to take over the Zero Legion, obviously hoping that he would cut his love.

He had already contributed a deputy corps commander, did he want him to contribute another deputy corps commander now? Thinking of this, he naturally looked at Shao Han.

Sensing Hu Chong's eyes looking at Shao Han, Shangguan Xiu took the opportunity to look over, nodded his head, and said: "Lao Shao is indeed very good, he has been training with Lao Hu in the army for all these years, whether it is experience, qualifications or ability, it should be more than enough to take over the Zero Legion." ”

Hu Chong almost spit out a mouthful of old blood, and he didn't say anything, so His Royal Highness first decided that the person he wanted to recommend was Shao Han, and his face was too thick.

If he didn't know Shangguan Xiu's personality too well, I'm afraid Hu Chong would have thought that he was deliberately squeezing himself out and deliberately cutting off his right-hand man.

Seeing that he just smiled bitterly, but didn't answer, Shangguan Xiu asked, "What's the matter?"

"No, His Highness has an order, and the last general will obey it!" As he spoke, Hu Chong looked at Shao Han and said, "General Shao, don't thank Your Highness quickly!"

Shao Han rolled his eyes, what kind of thanks, the Righteous Army Legion is a group of rabble, through the name 'Zero' given by His Royal Highness to the Righteous Army Legion, you can see how weak the combat power of the Righteous Army Legion is, it is better to serve as a corps commander in the Zero Legion, it is better to serve as a corps commander in the Third Legion, a typical Ming Sheng.

He cleared his throat and said, "Your Highness, my subordinates have served in the Three Legions for many years, and they have long had a deep affection for the Three Legions......

Before he finished speaking, Shangguan Xiu said to Hu Chong: "The post of General Wei has been idle for a long time, and I have decided to go to Beijing and recommend Lao Hu to His Majesty to take over the post of General Wei." ”

Shangguan Xiu's words were too jumpy, and Hu Chong couldn't react a little. He has fought a lifetime of battles, and he has won countless battles, even he can't count them, but he has never been promoted because of any victory, and now he has just fought a defeated battle, and as a result, he is going to be promoted to General Wei, not to mention Hu Chong is dumbfounded, and all the generals present are also dumbfounded.

Hu Chong stood in place in a daze, even forgetting about Xie En, Shangguan Xiu didn't care, he turned his head to look at Shao Han again, and said in a calm tone: "Xiao Han, is your ambition just to hold a position in the Third Legion? If so, your ambition is inevitably too small and too disappointing. ”

Shao Han's body was shocked, he was stunned for a moment, he didn't say a word, knelt down on one knee, intervened in the salute, and said, "Subordinate...... The last general, Xie His Highness Longen!"

Seeing that Shao Han no longer had any complaints about serving as the commander of the Zero Legion, Shangguan Xiu nodded with satisfaction. Hu Chong finally reacted, and immediately knelt down on one knee, intervened to give a salute, and said in a slightly trembling voice: "Your Highness's kindness of knowing and carrying you will never be forgotten!"

Won the battle, did not get a reward, lost the battle, but got a reward, this unconventional means, is not Shangguan Xiu to be maverick, but he wanted to give Hu Chong such a reward, but he has never found a suitable opportunity.

Taking advantage of this defeat, promoting Hu Chong to General Wei is also a means to boost the morale of the army. With Hu Chong's talent, even if he was made to serve as General Wei, Shangguan Xiu felt that he was condescending.

"Today's defeat is nothing, after all, the main force of our army is still there, and victory and defeat are also the norm in the army. As long as we can remember the lesson, the humiliation suffered by our army today will be found tomorrow in the heads of the enemy, I wonder if the generals still have confidence?"

"The last general is willing to follow His Highness to the death, fight to the death with the enemy, and use the blood of the enemy to pay tribute to the souls of the fallen brothers in heaven!" said in unison.

"Morning!"

"The subordinates are here!"

"Send someone to find out the movements of the Ningnan army, although our army is not a division of tigers and wolves now, but it will also become a division of mad dogs, what will happen if a mad dog bites its prey?"

"Don't let go!"

"That's right! Our army is going to bite the tail of the Ningnan people this time, and we won't let go!" Shangguan Xiu's eyes flashed, he had already lost, and he was not afraid of losing again, but even if he died, he would bite the main force of the Ningnan army all over his body.

He continued: "In addition, pass on the book Luo Ren, gather all the officers and soldiers of our army, hunt down and kill the Ningnan army, no matter if it escapes to the ends of the earth, our army will also tear its throat!"

"Also, pass the book to Duan Qiyue, and mobilize all the brothers of the Shadow Banner to come to Du Ji ......"

Shangguan Xiu rekindled his fighting spirit, and his fighting spirit seemed to be able to burn to everyone around him, and the eyes of all the generals present were ablaze, and people's bodies naturally showed a murderous aura again.

A failure is nothing, and it is not certain who will die in the end! This is the belief that Shangguan Xiu brought to them.

As long as you can stand, you will never kneel, as long as the blood is not dry, you will vow to fight the enemy to the death, as long as there is still a breath left, you will draw your sword and fight, and fight with the enemy to the death.

This is the mad dog spirit, and it is precisely by relying on this mad dog spirit that the Zhenjun Army has come to this day.

The main force of the Ningnan Army did not stay in the Thamel Gorge, leaving the Sixth Army to continue to garrison here in the Thamel Gorge, and Xin Jiyao led the main force of the Ningnan Army through the Thamel Gorge and went north at full speed, striving to reach Gute City before the main force of the Wind Army pursued to the Thamel Gorge.

Located on the south bank of the Orinho River, Ciudad de Gut is a famous water city in Douci with a long history. If the main force of the Ningnan Army wanted to cross the OlliΓ±o River, it would need to delay here in Gute City for a while and raise enough ships to transport troops and supplies.

As long as Ningnan's Sixth Army can hold back the main force of the Wind Army here in the Termel Gorge for a few days, it will be enough to help the main force of Ningnan's Army cross the Orinho River smoothly.

Gute City has become a strategic place for whether the main force of the Ningnan Army can smoothly go north to get out of trouble, and the people of Ningnan know this, and Shangguanxiu also knows this.

The reason why he wanted to transfer the Shadow Banner from Ningnan to Duji was that the Shadow Banner was to take a step ahead of the main force of the Ningnan Army, arrive at Gute Water City, destroy as many ships in the city as possible, and cut off the way for the main force of the Ningnan Army to cross the river to the north.
