Miserable and panicked, the 100,000 army was defeated in the next battle of Jiameng Pass, fled more than 200 miles in a few days, fled all the way back to Ganlong from Sichuan and Shu, and did not really stop until the front of Ganzhou City.

But the number of the defeated army that successfully returned to Ganzhou City had been sharply reduced to a staggering 5,000 men.

The 100,000 people have been on the expedition for less than a month, and once they go back, they will end up with no one in ten......

When Li Wannian, who was covered in dust and embarrassed, was welcomed into the city by Ganzhou officials under the protection of hundreds of guards, his mood had fallen to the lowest point, and the whole person was even in a trance.

It was too miserable to lose, several times to survive, and it took him a bloody way to return to Ganzhou safely, and this defeat hit him from all aspects of the mind to the body. If it weren't for his strong psychological quality, he would have committed suicide in the middle of the road.

But even so, after entering the city to confirm his safety, before he could say anything, Li Wannian vomited out another mouthful of blood, which made many subordinates in front of him panic, supported him with all hands and feet, sent him to the backyard to rest, and invited the best doctor in the city to treat him.

In this way, it was a long time to be busy, until the middle of the day and night, after taking the medicine, he slowly came back to his senses after sleeping for several hours, but the whole person's spirit was still sluggish, and his eyes were just staring at the roof above, as if he had lost his soul.

This made several of his cronies fidget, and after they had another burst of kind words and persuasion, Li Wannian gave some reactions: "Can the soldiers who came back with us be settled? Is there a doctor to treat them?"

"General, rest assured, everything has been arranged by Lord Wei for them, no matter what food, lodging and medicine, there will be no shortage of them." Feng Shichang, the captain of the guard, hurriedly stepped forward to answer.

"That's good...... I have killed so many soldiers, and I can't let them lose any more because of me." Li Wannian let out a breath, "Have you counted clearly, how many brothers have come back with us this time?"

Several cronies fell silent for fear of arousing the general's self-blame and sadness.

"Say. The big mistake has been made, don't I have the courage to connect with the results?" Li Wannian got up suddenly, stared at the few people in front of him with burning eyes and shouted.

Feng Shichang hesitated for a moment, but after all, he still didn't dare to disobey the order, and said in a low voice, "Please take care of yourself, general...... Of the four thousand seven hundred and sixty-one brothers who returned with us, only more than 700 were unharmed, and the rest were in minor or serious condition and were being treated by the city's military doctors."

As he spoke, he was afraid that the other party would be excited again, and hurriedly added: "But in the past half a day, hundreds of people have returned, all of whom are defeated soldiers who have returned from Sichuan and Shu. It seems that after this defeat, the Vietnamese army was not able to really wipe out our entire army, everyone just ran away in a panic, or it won't be long before more soldiers will rush back to Ganzhou and regather under the general's command."

I don't know if it was because of the influence of the next sentence, Li Wannian behaved quite calmly now, in addition to the bitterness of his face, he sighed softly: "It's all my fault." I shouldn't have made a desperate decision to attack because of the moment, let alone driven those auxiliaries to attack Jiameng Pass when the chance of victory was completely lost, giving the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of it, which led to such a fiasco......

"General, it's because I'm incompetent, otherwise how could a mere Jiameng Pass stop my 100,000 people for more than half a month......" Several guards hurriedly bowed down at the same time and took the responsibility, for fear that their own general would have bad thoughts again, causing the situation to deteriorate.

Li Wannian sighed again, waved his hand and said, "You all get up, who is responsible, everyone knows in their hearts, what you said doesn't count at all.

"This time it's my fault, it's my shame to Guan Long's soldiers and fathers, and when I go back, I will definitely ask everyone for their guilt. If Father Guan Long really thinks that my fault is unacceptable, then I am willing to pay any price for it."

Without waiting for the others to persuade him again, he cheered up a little and said slowly, "Although the big mistake was made, the remedy that should be done must not be forgotten. Next, you will help Lord Wei to defend Ganzhou City, firstly, to guard against the Vietnamese army taking the opportunity to attack, and secondly, to collect the soldiers who fled back as much as possible...... I just hope that this time there will be fewer casualties and more generals

...... Taxi

With Feng Shichang's understanding of their own generals, from this decision alone, they had already heard the other party's next plan. Obviously, it is impossible for Li Wannian to leave Ganzhou before all the soldiers who fled back are returned.

Although this is somewhat risky, but now, they can only follow the arrangement, so that the general can calm down as soon as possible and come out of this rout.

And everything after that, it was really as they guessed or hoped, and after a few days, there was a steady stream of routs running back to Ganzhou.

They were either wounded, or even had broken hands and feet, or even lost their armor and weapons, which shows how difficult it was for them to return to Ganzhou this time. But at the end of the day, these people came back alive.

Moreover, the number of these officers and soldiers of the Guanlong army who came back was really quite large, as many as five or six hundred, as few as one or two hundred, and in the next ten days, thirty or forty thousand defeated troops gathered in Ganzhou City at once.

If you add the 5,000 soldiers and horses who came with Li Wannian first, nearly half of the soldiers and horses fled back this time.

This result has reinvigorated many people, but only those who really understand the situation in the army, such as Li Wannian, and Qin Yuxiang, who came back in embarrassment only two days ago, understand how bad the current situation is.

Under the rout of the army, the losses are incalculable, which is not only the damage of soldiers and horses, but more importantly, the morale of the army and the loss of a large number of materials.

The 100,000-strong army attacked Sichuan and Shu, went with the army, and continued to transport a large number of supplies to the past, but they did not come back with the rout, and all the things were given to the Vietnamese army in vain.

And the tens of thousands of defeated troops who came back, can they be used again, and let them go to war with the Vietnamese army that had defeated them?

Even if they don't have psychological problems, what about the body?

The disabled soldiers and horses alone have reached a terrifying 10,000 people, and these people can only be raised by Li Wannian, otherwise how can he let other soldiers work for him?

Therefore, this defeat was devastating for him and for the entire Guan Long, and it was something that he and Guan Long could not bear.

Of course, now, it is no longer the time to think about these follow-up things, what he has to do now is to reunite people's hearts, at least not to let Ganlong become chaotic because of this defeat, so that these defeated armies will make some trouble in Ganzhou, so as to give the enemy the opportunity to take the opportunity to kill Ganlong.
