c_t; Gao Fucheng was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and now the two teams they had gathered together were only twenty people. Read the full text of the latest chapter of the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info If it weren't for the tacit cooperation with his own side in the dark, he would have suffered heavy casualties by now, and even so, there were four people with injuries of varying severity, and their manpower was already very short.

At this moment, there was a shouting and killing sound in the direction of the small camp gate, and the Chagatai people in that direction were suddenly in chaos, and Gao Fucheng shouted: "Everyone come with me, let's rush over to reinforce the army." Wielding his sword, he rushed in the direction of the Chagatai confusion.

"Captain, we're here. "The sentinel soldiers who came with torches soon discovered Gao Fucheng and the others, these people had just been put into the camp by a small group of people who had seized the camp gate, and there were more than two hundred of them, and they were enough to fight the Chagatai people who were chasing them.

More than 200 soldiers shouted, everyone took out their crossbows and shot indiscriminately, and the Chagatai people who were chasing after them had a clear line of sight, and they couldn't see the situation on the other side clearly at all, so they were shot down by the crossbows in this way without preparation.

The well-trained sentinel fighters divided their men into three groups, alternately covering the retreat, and they quickly rushed out of the camp and rode on cloud horses towards the distance, behind them a large number of Chagatai men who had been killed and wounded.

"What the hell is going on?" the commander of the Chagatai army, the generalissimo of the Chagatai Khanate's expedition to the east, Gamudi was also awakened by the chaos, and he immediately sent people to find out the situation, and soon the generals of the army came to his commander's tent.

"Marshal, I just got the news that there is an army of the Longxiao Empire stealing the camp, and now it has been repelled by our soldiers, and the enemy has suffered countless casualties and has not succeeded. [To see the latest chapter of this book, please go to] 80 eBook t/"A general reports on it."

Slapping the table, Gamudi shouted angrily: "What do you mean that the enemy has suffered countless casualties and has not succeeded? All day long to report good news but not bad news, you look at how much the camp has been burned down, this is called not successful? Is it necessary for my head to be cut off by others to be called successful?"

Seeing Gamudi's rage, all the generals lowered their heads and did not dare to come out. Now at this time, it is obviously very unwise to annoy the marshal, of course, this is not absolute, as the most favored Ebu hurriedly went up and bowed and said: "Marshal, things have happened, let's still think about how to deal with the aftermath." ”

Gamudi also knew that this was not the time to hold him accountable, so his tone was calmer: "What is the situation of the loss now? ”

De'ang, who is known as the Three Warriors of the Eastern Expedition along with Ebu and Abda, is the commander-in-chief of the Chinese army of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, and is in charge of the various uses of the whole battalion, so he naturally knows these situations very well. Knowing Marshal Gamudi's temper, he sent someone to count the losses early, and when he heard the marshal ask him, he immediately came out and said: "Report to the marshal, the losses of our army are not large, only more than 300 people were killed and more than 700 were wounded. However, due to the strong winds, the fire area in the camp area was too large, and the loss of camp tent equipment was huge, especially the loss of grain, livestock and forage was more than 20%. ”

De'ang's words made the generals present nervous, the economic foundation of the Chagatai Khanate was weak, and even if a large army was dispatched, it would be extremely difficult to provide food and grass, so they could only send 100,000 troops this time. Even so, the army did not have enough food and grass, which is why once they set up camp, they sent many people to hunt nearby. Now that so much grain and grass have been lost, how can this not make the military top brass feel distressed for a while.

Hearing De'ang's report, Marshal Gamudi's facial muscles also twitched twice, and he waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, everyone, we originally planned to attack the Blue Pass for a month, so we have prepared a lot of grain and grass, and now that the progress is advanced, we still have food and grass available." What's more, after Gaoyang Hill in front of you, it is the inland of the Longxiao Empire, not to mention food, gold and silver treasures, beautiful women and weapons are everywhere, I am afraid that your pockets will not be able to hold good things. ”

Gamudi's encouragement made the generals laugh, but the three warriors who knew the marshal best saw the hesitation and worry in the marshal's eyes. When the matter was over, Gamudi instructed the generals to keep control of their troops and prevent them from being mixed in again, and then the meeting was adjourned.

Everyone came out one after another, but the three warriors who were the most trusted in Zhengdong all stayed. Seeing that everyone was gone, Abda first said: "Lord Marshal, why didn't those people who patrol the camp be held accountable today, it was their negligence that allowed the bandits to enter the camp." ”

Gamudi shook his head and said, "It's good to give them a wake-up call in this matter, lest they be too lax and hold them accountable." Now that the morale of the army is a little fluctuating, it is not appropriate to deal with those people anymore, otherwise it is easy to plunge the army into chaos. ”

De'ang said: "Lord Marshal, I see that your expression seems to be a little worried?"

Gamudi nodded and said, "Yes, today's incident is definitely not a matter of negligence, but that the other party's soldiers are too elite. The fact that they were able to trick them into our camp through the many lines shows that the enemy force we are facing is extremely strong. We only have a meagre 100,000 cavalry, and if we catch a handful of them in the inland areas, we can retreat, but if we slow down we may be wiped out. And if there is an elite army on the opposite side blocking the way, we will be delayed for time, and we will be easily encircled. ”

Ebu said: "Lord Marshal, don't worry, even if the other party has too many elite people, otherwise there will not be a few people who come to steal the camp today." The infantry of the Dragon Xiao Empire are all light infantry, and no matter how elite they are, they will not be able to block the onslaught of our cavalry. It would be easier if they were cavalry, no matter how elite the cavalry of the Longxiao Empire was, how could it be better than ours who grew up on horseback, we have three horses for one person, and we can drag each other down at a critical moment. ”

De'ang also nodded and said, "Yes, our warriors can eat and sleep on horses, but the cavalry of the Longxiao Empire can't." ”

Gamudi smiled lightly: "I hope so, you all go back and prepare well, tomorrow we will cross Gaoyang Hill." After that, there is a flat river, let me gallop on iron, but if my estimation is good, tomorrow we will have a fierce battle in Gaoyangqiu, and you all go and master the troops, and be ready for battle at any time. ”

"Yes, Marshal. The three warriors all bowed their promises.

After the successful sneak attack on Gaofucheng, he was afraid that the Chagatai cavalry would chase after him, so he did not dare to stop and quickly followed the way he came, and on the way they began to lay various traps to prepare for the next day's delay in the advance of the Chagatai army. Because of the victory just now, the soldiers of the Sentinel Team were in a very high mood, they had already slept enough during the day, and now they were naturally quite energetic. The soldiers retreated all the way and arranged all the way, and they were busy all night, until the sky was slightly white, and Gaofucheng ordered everyone to stop arranging traps, and the whole team withdrew at high speed towards Gaoyangqiu.
