Chapter Eighty-Seven: Retreat
Luo Yan was very angry at this time, and there was a bit of aggressiveness in his tone: "If Yinsheng City is dedicated, how can it suddenly turn around?" If you are a deserter before the war, you should be beheaded according to your crime! ”
The cold on the face of the Lord of Yinsheng County was even worse: "The second prince doesn't want to charge the soldiers of Yinsheng City with such a big crime!" ”
"If you say so, it depends on whether our generals in Silverborn City agree or not!"
Her eyes slid over the faces of the generals sitting beside her without a trace, and she saw that there was a hint of resentment and dissatisfaction.
Deserters, this crime and humiliation, but it is great!
No one who leads troops to fight is willing to listen to others accuse and humiliate themselves in this way.
What's more, they lost their commanders in front of the battle, confused the morale of the army, and if they continue to attack, they will only suffer heavier losses.
Turning around at this time is the best decision in desperation, and what is the similarity with the act of desertion?
Why humiliate people so much!
Luo Yan was in a hurry, and he didn't choose what to say, and he touched the bottom line of being a general.
The county lord of Yinsheng hid the flashing light in his eyes, raised his eyebrows, and continued: "In this situation, I, Yinsheng, have already sacrificed a lot for this battle. The second prince made such an accusation, could it be that he wanted all my Yinsheng soldiers to give their lives, so that he could not be satisfied! ”
She speculated like this, Luo Yan didn't dare to admit it, and the previous anger was suppressed by him.
He took a deep breath and said as calmly as possible: "Xiao Wang didn't have this intention, but the city lord of Yinsheng had already made an agreement with the royal court before, and this battle would be attacked by Yinsheng first, and the royal court's army would follow closely. Now, the sudden retreat of the Yinsheng army is really unexpected......"
The county lord of Yinsheng sneered and replied: "But the second prince has also seen it, in that case, if Yinsheng does not withdraw his troops and has no one to command, he will just let the soldiers die in vain." ”
"The soldiers of Yinsheng City are just tools for attacking the city to the second prince, but to me, they are all Yinsheng people! There is absolutely no reason to die in vain! ”
It is!
Although the Yinsheng general on the side did not interject, he couldn't help but say in his heart.
The county lord of Yinsheng glanced at the generals present, then turned to Luo Yan and said, "Now that the war has begun, I, Yinsheng, have had so many accidents, and this battle is no longer suitable to continue." ”
"After the army is repaired a little, I will lead my troops back to Yinsheng City and no longer get involved in this matter."
Before her words fell, Luo Yan had already changed color in a daze: "The county lord actually wants to betray my previous agreement with the city lord, can't it?" ”
"The benefits promised by the second prince, we have never seen anything in Yinsheng City, how can we say that we can betray it?"
"And the agreement was made by Daddy and the second prince." Yinsheng County's tone changed slightly, "Even if you want to fulfill your promise, that's what Daddy has to do." I'm standing here now, thinking only about how to save the more than 20,000 Yinsheng soldiers and stop making senseless sacrifices! ”
As she spoke, she sighed faintly: "Daddy was seriously injured in the battle and fell unconscious, and he also lost General Wu, I don't know if I ......will regret it when I wake up."
The generals on the side couldn't help but shake up secretly in their hearts, today's battle, it can be seen that the soldiers of Yaozhou are not so easy to deal with.
At the beginning, they were also encouraged by the second prince Luo Yan taking Yaocheng County so quickly.
Now that we look at it, it's better to withdraw as soon as possible.
Luo Yan looked at the Yinsheng generals present, and they all agreed with the Yinsheng County Lord's statement, and couldn't help but be angry: "The county lord is not afraid that the royal court will ask for guilt at that time?" ”
Lord Yinsheng sighed: "Even the royal court has no reason to force the various departments to forcibly sacrifice soldiers......
She met Luo Yan's eyes that were about to erupt into flames: "If the royal court really wants to investigate it when the time comes, I will bear it!" ”
Although the Nanzhao was respected by the royal court, the various ministries also acted separately.
They Yinsheng City occupies a piece of the northeastern part of Nanzhao, and their troops are not small, and they are close to the border of the Great Zhou, so they are not afraid that Nanzhao will turn to trouble them.
After all, if this battle is won, they should think about how to resist the counterattack of the Great Zhou.
If you lose, you have to think of making peace with Da Zhou.
If you go to set off internal turmoil and cheapen the Zhou people for nothing, the Nanzhao royal court will not do this for a while.
Luo Yan couldn't help but clench his palms, and at that moment, he even thought of using the power of Biyun Xuanshi to control the Yinsheng County Lord.
But after thinking about it, the Yinsheng County Lord is also familiar with witchcraft techniques, and if this matter is not handled well, it will cause the Yinsheng soldiers to draw their swords against each other.
If they turn against each other in front of the battle, the royal army will be attacked on their backs.
He had no choice but to give up, and watched as the Lord of Yinsheng County sent someone to arrange the return of Yinsheng City.
In Yaozhou City, Governor Han Zheng couldn't help but smile loudly, and handed the letter from the scout in his hand to He Lingjiang.
"As He Qi Niangzi said, the Yinsheng army has retreated......"
He Lingjiang took the letter and quickly skimmed through it, and his eyes couldn't help but show a little relief: "Without Yinsheng's help, the royal court army adds up to about 50,000 people. The governor estimates, how long can we hold out? ”
Han Zheng stroked his beard under his chin and pondered: "Although we don't have many troops in Yaozhou, the city is built tall and strong. Even if there are many people in Nanzhao, as long as we can't hold on and protect this city for three or five more days, there should be no problem. ”
"It's just that after Yinsheng retreated, the army of the Nanzhao Royal Court was still stuck here, and it seemed that it was about to take Yaozhou."
"After today, Nanzhao will inevitably attack even more forcefully and urgently. If the reinforcements don't come, Yaozhou City is isolated, and it is unknown how long it can last......" His eyes were solemn.
He Lingjiang nodded, the two states of Rongqu were pinned down and were unable to reinforce.
In the current situation, I can only hope that the side can receive the summons in time and send reinforcements in time.
Nanzhao's army of 80,000 has now gone to 30,000 at once, but Luo Yan is still unwilling to give up, looking like he is bound to win Yaozhou.
Thinking of Biyun, who was still in the Nanzhao camp, her eyes were slightly deep, and in less than a day, she had lost a star envoy, not to mention, and even the Yinsheng army had turned back.
The Divine Palace, it will not let the storm and chaos that it has carefully calculated to set off, just calm down like this.
It chose to use the battle of Nanzhao as a blade and pointed directly at the Great Zhou, and it would inevitably try its best to hurt the vitality of the Great Zhou.
He Ling Jiang frowned, how would Biyun, the envoy of the Suzaku Palace in Nanzhao's camp, arrange to help Nanzhao quickly take Yaozhou?
She looked sideways at Han Zheng: "Governor, I heard that the matter between Yaozhou Taishou and the Great Prince of Nanzhao was intentionally done by Nanzhao?" ”
Han Zheng nodded when he heard this, with a bit of indignation in his tone: "I was only suspicious before, but when I saw Luo Yan's actions later, it must have been planned a long time ago." ”
"This great prince of Nanzhao is actually not the son and son of the current Nanzhao King Piluoge, but his eldest brother, that is, the widow of the former Nanzhao King."
