Chapter 176: Defeat
Xia Houzhong walked to the table and picked up the token and said loudly: "All the soldiers listen to the order!"
Everyone held their breath and stood up straight, and Xiahou Zhong ordered: "Pioneer Tang Jun will listen to the order!"
Tang Juntong walked out with steps, and Lieutenant General Xiahou threw a token directly to him, and said: "Tang Xianfeng immediately led 10,000 elite soldiers to attack Wager, this battle is not allowed for you to win, only for you to lose!"
Tang Juntong, who got the token in his hand, thought that he had heard it wrong, and stood still in place, Xia Houzhong glanced at it and asked, "What's wrong with Tang Xianxian?"
"General, are you saying that I can't win if I fail?"
"Yes, only defeat is allowed, not victory!" Xia Houzhong emphasized again.
This time, I really heard it clearly, but I still had doubts in my heart, but I could only listen to the order, Tang Juntong, who was holding the token in his hand, couldn't understand why he couldn't let himself fail and not succeed in the attack, but the military order was like a mountain and couldn't disobey the slightest, so he had to reply loudly: "The last general will listen to the order!"
"General Zhang listens to orders!"
"Order you to lead 20,000 elite soldiers to meet Tang Xianxian, and when Tang Xianfeng retreats, he will give a blow to Wagel's people, only victory and not defeat, if you are defeated, you will be dealt with by military law!"
"The last general listens to the order!" General Zhang replied loudly after receiving the order.
"General Chen listens to orders, Xiahou Xuan listens to orders!"
The two walked out, and Xiahou Zhong continued: "You two each bring 20,000 elite soldiers, after General Zhang withdraws, you will besiege from the flank, only surround and not attack, be sure to drive people to this gourd land for me!"
"The last general will obey!" replied in unison.
At this time, Xiahou Zhong threw down another token, "Tang Juntong listens to the order!"
Tang Juntong stepped forward again, and Xiahou Zhong continued: "After retreating, you lead your subordinates to ambush on Hulu Mountain, and when Wagger's people arrive, I will personally lead people to a battle, and then wait for the opportunity to attack and kill him!"
"The last general will listen to the order!" Tang Juntong received the second order.
"Let's go!"
With an order, the soldiers who received the token went directly to order troops, and the military camp was boiling for a while.
On the way to find Wagel, Wagel had already sent rescuers to the palace to ask for help, and he only hoped that the king would send people and grain and grass to support.
Tang Jun walked for a long time and finally found Wagel's hiding place, the two armies met, and without saying a word, they directly picked up their respective weapons and fought directly.
After holding back the fire in his belly, Wager fiercely waved the knife in his hand after getting on the horse, and rushed viciously towards Tang Juntong, Tang Jun stepped forward to fight, and after a few rounds, he pretended to be invincible, and fled in the direction from which he shot the horse.
As soon as the soldiers who came with saw their generals running directly, they also fled after them, and the Tatars behind them cheered, and Wagger slapped his war horse and chased wildly, chasing him halfway to avoid an ambush before stopping.
In a battle last night, the Tatar soldiers were caught off guard, and they lost the battle like a lost dog, and now they easily won the victory, and they felt that the soldiers of the Great Xia Kingdom were just like that, and last night they accidentally ate the defeat by sneak attack in their sleep, if it was really right, maybe who would be defeated.
Wager ordered to stop and rest, cook some food to use, before the people finished eating, the men and horses led by General Zhang killed again, with the victory just now, the Tatar soldiers felt contempt in their hearts, only felt that these Central Plains soldiers were just soft-footed shrimp as vulnerable as a shrimp.
Pick up the weapon in his hand and slash and kill the people who come indiscriminately, but unfortunately this time I feel different when we meet, the people brought by General Zhang are all strong and strong, and they only come out after they are full of water and food, and they are extremely brave all the way and the Tatar soldiers who have been fighting hard all night can not be compared.
After a while, the Tatar soldiers were directly killed and wounded, and then someone shouted: "Escape!"
Hearing the shouts, the Tatars fled backwards like a fish, and when Wagle saw this, he shouted loudly: "Stop, stop!"
It's a pity that they are only concerned about fleeing for their lives, and no one can hear his shouts, and Wager has to retreat when he sees this.
After withdrawing, Wager counted that there were only more than 20,000 people left, and his heart was very anxious, and he waited for the arrival of reinforcements with anxiety in his heart.
Left and right did not wait for reinforcements, but did wait for a decree from the king, which ordered Wagle to withdraw quickly and return to the capital, and not to disobey the order.
The angry Wagle directly tore up the letter that came, Wagger's eyes were bloodshot, his expression was hideous, and he raised his head viciously and shouted a few times into the air to vent the anger in his heart.
Since the death of his uncle, Wager has already had the worst plan in his heart, knowing that the king may take the opportunity to reduce his military power this time, but he did not expect to let himself retreat directly when the war is in full swing.
If you retreat now, you will definitely be robbed of military power, and if you lose your military power, it is like a tiger that has no minions, and can only bow down to the tile spurs, thinking of this, Wager was unwilling for a while.
Staying and lacking water and food, even if you fight for a bo, you may not be able to win, but now you can only try, as long as you can win and return to the palace smoothly, there are no longer a few supporters around you, and you can compete with the eldest prince with military power.
After making up his mind, Wagle tore up the letter, pretended to be indifferent, and directly ordered his men to go and find a place to rest.
The night was uneventful, and in the morning, before Wagger's people began to have breakfast, the team led by Xiahou Xuan came directly again, rushed into the team like a sharp sword, and the Tatar soldiers scattered and fled in an instant.
The Tatars were now frightened, and they didn't know how to resist when they encountered them, they just blindly fled for their lives, and Wagle had nothing to do behind him.
After Xiahou Xuan's men and horses were withdrawn, General Chen made a comeback, and under the continuous pursuit of the two teams, the Tatar soldiers did not have time to rest when they were tired, and they were miserable.
Wagle had the intention to lead everyone to a battle, but unfortunately the soldiers were scared and couldn't raise their energy, so Wagle had to retreat with the crowd first.
Finally chased to the valley that Xiahou had ambushed in advance, Wagle looked up at this valley and was timid, the natural gourd shape here, the entrance is slender and the exit is narrow, if someone is ambushed here, it will definitely not be easy to escape.
Wagle had the heart to retreat, but the pursuers behind him were biting hard, if he turned around, he would definitely collide with the pursuers, and if he met the pursuers, he would only be sent to death by virtue of this group of remnants, and Wagger, who thought of this, gritted his teeth and patted his horse and walked towards the valley.
Xiahou, who had been waiting for a long time at the exit of the valley, saw that Wager had entered the valley as planned, and remained quietly dormant and motionless, just waiting for all his soldiers and horses to enter the valley.
Wagger, who had already come in, felt that something was wrong, and it was quiet! There was not a trace of insects and birds, and only the echoing sound of silence was left around, and Wagger's heart was suddenly uneasy.
