"General. Are we going to go on the offensive again?" asked the adjutant next to him.

Now that the Song Dynasty naval army has lost, let alone against the other party, it is great to be able to escape, and it has not played a role in containing the enemy's firepower at all. In such a situation, it would not be rational for them to continue to attack.

Gundam Silver Fang gritted, looked at the fortresses that were still being shelled with chagrin, and then replied viciously, "Let's go back." ”

Just looking at the situation of the fortress, it is obvious that he has seen through his own strategy, otherwise he would definitely not be able to react so quickly. Now that the other party is ready, I am afraid that a trap has been laid in front of them, and if they continue to attack, it will be tantamount to throwing themselves into a net.

Seeing that Gundam had given the order, the warriors had no choice but to retreat, and their mood was also depressed.

The defeat in the first battle did not bode well.

If you want to successfully break the encirclement and suppression of the Yuan army and rescue everyone in Xiangyang, this time it seems to have become an unattainable thing.

Along the way, Gundam also felt weird, he had made an agreement with Fan Wenhu before, why did Fan Wenhu's performance be so poor when it came to war?

Suspicious, Gundam rushed all the way back, but he was afraid that if he finished coming, it would lead to the complete destruction of the naval army, and if there was no naval army, then they would not have to fight, and they could only surrender directly.

When he returned, Gundam saw the battleships floating on the river, and his mood suddenly became serious.

Probably just after a war, these ships were all damaged, some of the decks were punched out of a big hole, some of the side decks were broken, some of the paddlewheels were damaged, and so on.

Gundam only glanced at it, and realized that these ships were only two-thirds the size of the previous ones.

In just one battle, the entire navy lost half of it, and even if the Gundam had been tested by war for a long time, it was still terrifying, and the green tendons on the forehead were also bursting.

Fortunately, the trolls were not destroyed.

"Then what is Fan Wenhu doing? Why did he let the navy suffer such losses?" Doubts filled his heart, and Gundam began to search for Fan Wenhu in the crowd, intending to ask why.

After looking for about half an hour, Gundam came to the place where Fan Wenhu was, with the help of the soldiers.

When he stepped forward, he saw that Fan Wenhu was already standing in front of everyone with a serious face, as if he was reprimanding something.

Gundam did not rush to speak, but hid to the side and listened to Fan Wenhu's speech, and most of what Fan Wenhu said was "disturbing order", "not obeying orders", "obstructing superiors" or something, and although those soldiers were silent, their faces were also full of resentment, and it was obvious that they were not very willing to accept Fan Wenhu's reprimand.

"Fan Wenhu!"

Gundam coughed, startling Fan Wenhu.

Fan Wenhu was also taken aback when he saw Gundam standing behind him, and hurriedly said, "This ——, Gao Commander! Why are you here? Didn't you say that you were going to attack that fortress?

"It didn't work out. Gundam shook his head, his eyes still staring at Fan Wenhu, and asked, "Tell me, what are you doing here?"

Fan Wenhu hurriedly replied, "Oh. Aren't I reprimanding them? If it weren't for these chaos, how could our army have suffered so many losses?"

"Really?"

Gundam's gaze was scrutinizing, making Fan Wenhu feel a little uncomfortable.

Fan Wenhu tried hard to make himself appear confident, and defended: "That's nature. If it weren't for the indiscriminate movement of these battleships, it would have ruined the formation of our army. How could that Yuan army fight like this?", but Gundam never looked away.

This made Fan Wenhu a little frightened in his heart, and he asked again: "By the way, Commander Gao." Why didn't the fortress be taken? Could it be that the Yuan army had set some trap, or was the city too strong for you to take down?"

"It's not!"

Gundam shook his head, his gaze still fixed on Fan Wenhu.

Fan Wenhu asked, "No, what is the reason?"

"Because I didn't attack at all!How could I take the opponent's fortress?" Gundam took a deep breath and raised his voice by three points: "Just the way you were before, do you think I can continue to attack? Do you just become cannon fodder for others? As far as your previous performance is concerned, I really think I don't know, and you are still pretending here! Reprimand them? You don't want to see if you have the qualifications." ”

"High Commander!"

Fan Wenhu's cheeks flushed, and he suddenly raised his head as if he wanted to argue.

It's just that when he saw Gundam's violent appearance, his whole person suddenly shrank, and he muttered: "I, didn't I preserve my strength? Could this be wrong? Don't forget, the firepower of that fortress is too fierce, if you blindly break in, I am afraid that you will become their target." ”

"Preservation strength? Is there such a thing as you to preserve strength? There is no one-third of it, and you also call it preservation strength?" Gundam did not hide his disappointment at all, and directly mocked.

"But isn't there still two-thirds?"

Fan Wenhu pursed his lips disapprovingly, probably because he was afraid of Gundam's gaze, and he turned his head away from looking at Gundam.

Gundam's eyes widened, and he shouted, "What about the third of the soldiers? They all died because of you!"

"I know!"

Fan Wenhu retorted: "But now that this is the case, what are you looking for me to do? Isn't it time to reorganize the troops and plan again? What kind of is it to lose your temper with me all day long? If we continue to argue here, will Xiangyang still be saved?"

Fan Wenhu obviously didn't feel that he was wrong, especially the last sentence, which directly blocked the rest of Gundam's words in his throat.

"You!"

Pointing at Fan Wenhu, Gundam felt like he was facing a boulder, and he didn't know what to do.

He also wanted to punish Fan Wenhu, but Fan Wenhu was the deputy commander of the palace, and there were two people standing behind him, Lu Wende and Jia Yidao, and with Gundam's own power, he couldn't bring down the other party at all.

"If you're like this next time, don't blame me for being rude. ”

For Fan Wenhu, Gundam really didn't know what to do, so he could only leave this sentence behind.

Seeing that those soldiers suffered heavy casualties, Gundam was not in the mood to continue to entangle with Fan Wenhu like this, so he left them in front of the wounded, and even ordered the rest of the people to start helping to save the wounded in order to rejuvenate the morale of the army.

After being cared for by Gundam, the morale of the soldiers in the army has also recovered a lot.

Seeing Gundam's busy appearance, Fan Wenhu didn't think of coming out to help, but hid in the corner and muttered in a low voice: "Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, why do you reprimand me like this? And in front of so many people, have you considered my face?"

Regarding the previous things, Fan Wenhu never thought he was wrong.
