"Lord Huyan, our army sneaked up on the night, but the other party was already prepared, and our army was ambushed..."

When Hu Yanlan heard the news, she was slightly surprised: "What? Prepared? ”

"Our army has 10,000 soldiers and horses, and less than 1,000 have fled." The scout reported back.

Hu Yanlan stood up and asked, "Didn't you send back the news?" ”

"There's no news coming back from there."

Listening to the news of the scout, Hu Yanlan stood in the hall and paced back and forth, her brows tightened, and after a pause, she said to the scout: "Quick, quickly send a message to the Great Khan, just say that Fengcheng has been taken, and I want to continue to march into the army!" Waiting for the decree of the Great Khan! ”

The scout took the order, Huyanluo sat aside, and asked, "Brother-in-law, didn't you say that you would report to the Great Khan after conquering the entire territory of Anxi?" ”

"yes, that's what I thought. After conquering the entire territory of Anxi, I will report the military situation, so that even if someone wants to fan the flames in front of the Great Khan, they will not be able to take away my credit, but now the situation is different. ”

"The reaction speed of the Great Qi Imperial Court is too fast, far beyond my expectations, if we don't report the military situation to the Great Khan now, I'm afraid we will be in trouble..."Hu Yanlan said worriedly.

Hu Yanluo still didn't understand: "If the brother-in-law is afraid, then just ask the Great Khan for rescue, how..."

"Heh, you don't understand that. I asked the Great Khan for help, and if anyone got in the way, the reinforcements would not arrive. But if I report to the Great Khan on the military situation, some people will not be able to sit still. Whoever can't sit still will have to come with troops! ”

Hu Yanluo suddenly realized: "Brother-in-law is right! ”

Outside the city, another battle ended. The Shangwu camp was cleaning the battlefield, carrying corpses one by one, and everyone now completely lost the excitement they had when they fought against Beiyi, and many people's eyes were full of numbness and indifference.

No matter how much gold and silver you receive, you have to take it back with you. But now after several battles, the casualties on Yi Xiaodao's side, whether it is the Shangwu camp or the wave camp, are close to half. In addition to the tens of thousands of horses left in Anseong, the 80,000 horses brought out were less than 40,000 soldiers who could fight.

"Big brother, we've won too badly... Although we killed and repelled the Beiyi soldiers, our casualties were greater than those of the Beiyi soldiers. I just counted that the Beiyi soldiers died more than 6,000 people, but our army died more than 8,000..."

"Yes, big brother, keep fighting like this... Our Nanhuai Army is almost dead, it's okay to wave the camp, go to the martial camp..."Yi Xiaoling stopped in time and didn't say any more.

The 80,000 soldiers and horses are all composed of the Nanhuai army, the people of the East Lu and the Nanhuai, and the people of the rivers and lakes, or the rogue bandits, and the soldiers are uneven in terms of their ability to fight and the quality of the army.

In every big battle, the Nanhuai army is at the forefront, and the battalion has some martial arts, but it can also fight one or two, and the martial arts camp is really pure in numbers. Even if there are some good seedlings who dare to fight, they have died in several battles, and most of the people left now are those who are afraid of death.

Yi Xiaodao picked up a broken sword from the ground, and the word "Huai" was engraved on the sword, which was the sword of the Southern Huai Army. Yi Xiaodao bent his fingers, the sound was crisp, and the steel blade shook slightly, which was extremely tough.

"I'm afraid these Nanhuai soldiers can't imagine that they were born in Nanhuai, and they would die in the northern realm of this Great Apocalypse..."Yi Xiaodao sighed.

"Grandpa, why don't you transfer the 30,000 soldiers and horses in Ancheng again..."Wang Xuan said loudly on the side.

Li Dingxing and Yi Xiaoling both looked at Yi Xiaodao, waiting for his decision, the remaining 40,000 soldiers and horses, I am afraid that after another battle, they will immediately fall apart, and there is even the possibility of impacting their own soldiers and horses.

Yi Xiaodao sighed softly: "If you transfer those 30,000 soldiers and horses, I'm afraid you won't be able to support a few people." These soldiers are poor people, for a bite to eat, not to sacrifice their lives in this northern land..."

"Big brother, now is not the time for a woman's kindness, if you don't decide, I'm afraid that the whole Anxi won't be able to keep it!" Li Dingxing was a little anxious.

Yi Xiaodao shook his head and said: "If you can't keep it, you can't keep it, when tonight is over, all these Shangwu camps will be dismissed and the camp will be swayed... Those who want to stay, and we retreat to the Northlands. ”

"Big brother!" Li Dingxing was taken aback, and hurriedly called: "There is already a shortage of soldiers and horses, big brother, do you want to dismiss them?" ”

Yi Xiaodao didn't answer, turned around and walked towards his big tent.

Li Dingxing and Yi Xiaoling looked at each other, and Yi Xiaoling lowered his head first: "Am I a little too selfish..."

"Huh? How could you think that? Li Dingxing was a little surprised.

"If it weren't for the revenge of my master, my eldest brother wouldn't have come here, and there are so many soldiers who died..."

Li Dingxing hugged Yi Xiaoling in his arms: "Don't think about it, the eldest brother is not really for your personal vendetta, but for the people of the world." It's me, you feel sorry for me, I don't care about the people of the country, I just want you..."

In the midst of the chaos, the soldiers rushed back and forth, only the two of them hugged each other and stood silent for a long time.

It was late at night, the battlefield had not yet been cleaned, and broken bodies and broken weapons could still be seen everywhere in the camp. Outside the camp, the corpses of the Beiyi soldiers and the soldiers of the Central Plains piled up, waiting to be buried tomorrow.

The soldiers all entered their respective camps in twos and threes, and fell asleep, only some soldiers who had not participated in the fighting, still had spare strength, patrolling back and forth in the camp.

"Did you hear that? I just passed by my grandfather, and he said... Ming'er is going to dismiss us all, let us go home! ”

"Really? You're not going to listen, are you? Now that the war is so tense, can Grandpa still let us go? ”

"Ahh I haven't been home for more than two years, and I can't say that my lady ran away with someone, but I don't know how my old lady is home alone, how is it now..."

In the camp, the soldiers gathered tightly together, chattering and discussing, and soon, the soldiers rushed to the camp tent of their fellow villagers, and agreed to return to their hometowns together tomorrow.

There were rumors throughout the camp about returning home, and everyone was very excited.

In the middle of the night, the king of Anthy lifted the curtain of the tent and was about to go to the hut, when suddenly he heard whispers coming from everywhere.

"What's going on? What are these soldiers doing without sleep in the middle of the night? The king of Anthy asked curiously about the guards outside his tent.

The guard replied: "Lord Wang, I heard that it seems that Duke Wuding will dismiss all these soldiers tomorrow and let them go home." These are Donglu and Nanhuai people, telling each other about their fellow villagers! ”

"Duke Wu Ding wants to dismiss all these soldiers? Is the message reliable? King Anxi was taken aback, and even the urge to urinate was frightened.

"The villain also heard what he said just now, whether it's true or not, no one knows..."The guard never left the camp of King Anxi, but only listened to the passers-by.

The king of Anxi stopped walking towards the military toilet, hurriedly turned around and returned to the camp, and suddenly came back and said, "Go, call me all the generals of Anxi!" ”

After a while, all the generals of Anxi gathered in the big tent of the king of Anxi.

"Lord Wang, call me to wait late at night, I don't know what's the matter?" One of the leaders, who seemed to have a high status, was the first to ask.

Seeing that all the generals had arrived, the king of Anxi said: "Duke Wuding will dismiss these soldiers and horses tomorrow, the situation is urgent, you return to the camp as soon as possible, and our army will withdraw to Baicheng!" ”

"Withdraw to the White City?" Many generals were still shouted in their sleep, and their sleepiness had not yet disappeared, and at this time they suddenly said that they were going to withdraw to Baicheng, which made everyone wake up at once.

The generals were accustomed to obeying military orders on weekdays, and although they hadn't figured out what was going on, they followed the orders and returned to their camps to arrange for the withdrawal of troops.

As soon as the soldiers and horses on Anxi's side moved, the patrolling soldiers reported the situation to the big tent, and after Yi Xiaodao heard it, he waved his hand: "That's it, let them go." ”

Yi Xiaodao was sitting in the camp tent and bowed his head to reflect, he really overestimated the Shangwu camp, but he didn't expect that after a few battles, Beiyi hadn't run away, and his own mentality would collapse first.

The current Yi Xiaodao is indeed very emotional, and he pays too little attention to the Shangwu Camp and the Wave Camp, so he will become what he is now.

Although the soldiers and horses of the second battalion are under the command and management of Wang Xuan on weekdays, Wang Xuan is just a smart scholar in the final analysis, and he also groped for the affairs of the army. For the morale of the soldiers, Wang Xuan really didn't know how to improve.

Gradually, the soldiers scattered in the camp also quieted down, found their acquaintances, and returned to their tents one by one, ready to sleep.

There are still a lot of mosquitoes in summer nights, especially in the barracks, where the military uniforms and armor are not bloodstained but sweat, which even attracts mosquitoes.

"Buzz~" Two mosquitoes flew into the face of a fat soldier and sucked blood.

"Smack!" A slap was slapped on the face, and even if the two were directly slapped to death.

The soldier rubbed his face and said in a daze: "Damn, I'm going back tomorrow, and I won't let people sleep well..."

When the soldier next to him heard the movement, his eyes narrowed and he looked over, and with a single glance, he was scared half to death.

A huge human head was facing him, his face was red with blood, and the soldier took a deep breath, his heart was fixed, and he didn't shout.

The fatter soldier heard the wheezing sound around him, and listened carefully, only to feel that this voice was too similar to the Beiyi soldier who was fighting with him today! My heart tightened, and I suddenly opened my eyes to see what I understood.

The soldier next to him had just stabilized his mind and was about to lie down and continue sleeping, when he suddenly noticed something wrong through the corner of his eye, and turned his head to see that two black and white eyes were staring at him.

"Ah!!h A terrible howl pierced the night sky and broke the silence of the camp.

Some people are dreaming of reuniting their relatives, and some people are still fighting desperately with Beiyi in their dreams, all of which are broken by this howl.

"Ah!!h There was howling in the camp.

Something went wrong...
