Chapter 172: What a Storm
In the night, the generals of the Great Yan Kingdom who were in charge of answering were like pins and needles.
Although several large armies gathered together, and even one of them was an elite from the Beijing Division, the generals were still weak and uncertain.
For more than 300 years, the military generals of the Great Yan Kingdom were broken by civilian officials, and these people themselves considered inferior.
Under the deliberate weakening of the imperial court and the civil official group, and under the background of the decay of the government and government, the army of the Great Yan Kingdom has long lost the confidence to resist in the face of the barbarians' iron cavalry.
Even under the defeat and successive battles, from ordinary soldiers to generals on the commanding side, the barbarians are terrified.
These generals eat empty salaries and drink the blood of soldiers on weekdays, and some of them even secretly do business in private, but they never think of training their soldiers, so that it has become the norm to meet the enemy and flee from the wind.
To put it mildly, there are still some soldiers in the border army who eat food, and ordinary local garrisons such as the Ningwu Army outside Jiangling City, in terms of combat effectiveness, are really inferior to the bandits and bandits on the Xiaoju side.
It is not surprising that such an army faced the iron hooves of the barbarians, and was used by the enemy as a stake to practice riding on horseback and chopping.
When shouts of killing came from the direction of Yonggu City in the dark night, these generals who had gathered together fell into anxiety.
If the border troops in Yonggu City can't be killed, should they send troops to the rescue?
You said yes, then why did the border army of Yonggu City choose to break through at night?
If others don't know, can these generals still not know?
The soldiers under their own command can still get together and pretend to be during the day, and under the cover of this night, let alone marching and fighting, if you put people together, you can burn high incense if you don't make a mess!
Of course, the most likely scenario is that once the troops are gathered at night, I am afraid that no more than half of the soldiers will be able to stay honestly!
It was only stationed in the direction of the dock to be responsible for answering, but in the past few days, there were soldiers in each battalion and village who had secretly escaped, and there were even outrageous soldiers who were obviously on the register of 1,000 soldiers, but after one night, there were less than 300 people left in the camp......
I don't know if the soldiers were afraid that the barbarians had all run away, or if the general in charge of the camp was originally eating empty salaries, taking advantage of the chaos of this brainstorm, he directly wiped out the gap in the number of people on the roster!
The scouts from the front came to report that the Xuanzi battalion had really broken through the barbarians' defense line and was less than ten miles away from the reinforcements, and all the generals who brought troops to help came to life in an instant!
The border army of this Yonggu City can really fight!
No wonder he dared to choose to break through at night, he was worthy of being an elite general who had defeated the barbarian army before!
A group of generals gathered together celebrated, and the big guy just took his soldiers to wander around outside, and the credit for rescuing Ru Nanbo was smashed on his head, which was really a good thing that he would wake up with a smile when he dreamed!
There are those who are shrewd, and they have already begun to think about how to flatter and how to build relationships after meeting Uncle Runan.
Who was present who didn't know, the big guy with so many soldiers tossed such a big battle, but was it all for Runanbo alone?
This is the number one gentleman of the dynasty, but Concubine Chen's heart, once he catches the line of this young master and enters his eyes, won't he take it in the future?
Although the generals present are not good at fighting, they are more proficient in the twists and turns of this kind of officialdom than the other!
Before the Xuanzi battalion arrived at the camp of the rescue army, all the generals had an eager heart and came up with all kinds of unbelievable ways to curry favor with Chen Yongzhong, the uncle of Runan!
But when the Xuanzi battalion arrived at the camp, and the commander of the army, Song Ying'an, brought the news that Chen Yongzhong was lost in the chaotic army, the generals who were full of interest and joy were like mourning!
Good things turn into bad things, and fortunately things turn into bad things!
How could he lose Chen Yongzhong's baby bump alone?
There are so many people in your Xuanzi camp who are so capable of fighting, and even the barbarian camp has collapsed, and you can't protect a single Runanbo?
Really, how can people say that you are!
Song Ying'an, who could lead the troops, didn't pay much attention to the generals who came to the rescue, and really did not stop for a moment as required by the military order of the Ministry of War, and took the Xuanzi battalion straight into the dock, got on the boat that had been prepared, and rushed to Jiangling Mansion along the waterway!
And those generals who broke out with the Xuanzi battalion were very wise to stay in the rescue army, and these guys were surrounded by people, holding hands and asking carefully what was going on in the chaos.
But when Chen Yongzhong was lost, it was the time when the two armies were fighting, and when the soldiers were really in chaos, none of these gentlemen knew what was going on, they only knew that they were being protected by the guards and blindly rushed forward!
It's these gentlemen and generals, and then count the number of people at this time, and it's a full thirty percent less!
The losses of the guards were even greater, and the proportion of battle losses was far greater than that of the Xuanzi battalion fighting in front!
This result made everyone look at each other, beyond their comprehension.
According to the sayings of a group of gentlemen, when the Xuanzi Battalion broke through the barbarian camp, it was really a river of blood, and the big guys were able to rush out alive, all thanks to the courage of the people of the Xuanzi Battalion.
In that case, any negligence may be lost with the large army, and there must be only one end if you leave the large army......
These gentlemen are not unreasonable people, and they also know in their hearts that in that situation, Chen Yongzhong was completely unlucky to get lost in the chaotic army, and it is really no wonder that others.
But in this case, no one will take the initiative to say it, and they won't even mention a word!
These gentlemen are grateful to Song Ying'an, because on the way to the rescue army after killing through the defense line of the barbarians, the gentlemen have already figured out in their hearts that Song Ying'an wants to wash away the mistake of killing Ru Nanbo, and wants to avoid the mighty Marquis Mansion from becoming the target of Concubine Chen's attack, so he must lead the Xuanzi battalion to turn around and rush into the army of barbarians!
If Song Ying'an really did this, not to mention whether Chen Yongzhong was dead or not, this act alone would cause huge casualties to those who broke through, and it was not impossible that the entire army would be annihilated!
And these people, whether they are wrapped in the Xuanzi camp and rush into the barbarian army, or lose the protection of the Xuanzi camp and are chased by the barbarian iron cavalry, they will not escape a dead word after all!
In the eyes of these gentlemen, the reason why he was able to survive was entirely because Song Yingan took everyone to the rescue camp at the last moment, regardless of Chen Yongzhong's life and death, and ran all the way to the rescue!
It's just that this thing in the world is not a child's house, even if there is a life-saving grace, no one is willing, or dare to open his mouth to say a word for Song Ying'an, but everyone is guessing in their hearts what kind of storm awaits the man who will be Yang Bo in the future?
