Hu Yanyu stared blankly at the three anxious-looking scouts, and gave a wry smile with a trembling corner of his mouth.
It's really a show of respect. As soon as they finished talking, they came as soon as they asked.
Huyan Yunyao listened to her elder brother's somewhat bitter self-deprecating words and took out the map to look through it.
"Brother, don't blame yourself. The soldiers and horses of the Six Guards of the New Army have been supporting each other on both offense and defense since they came out of the border. The furthest distance between them is no more than a day's journey. This is to facilitate mutual reliance and timely support.
Now that there are four banners of the Six Guards of the New Army, how can the remaining two be so far away?
I don’t know if Muluda can find our scattered 100,000 cavalry. If we have been besieged by the dragon, this battle will be even more difficult for us.
All the cavalry of the dragon arrived, but we still had the advantage. What we were afraid of was that the dragon still had infantry. "
"Look, little sister, our soldiers and horses are moving closer to the Jin Kingdom's infantry in four directions. The offensive of Dalong's soldiers and horses has obviously weakened a lot."
Huyan Yunyao hurriedly raised her eyes to scan, and immediately understood Wanyan's intention in telling them.
"Great, the dragon has no infantry now. In order to avoid being entangled by the infantry phalanx, they dare not approach and attack at all."
Just as Huyan Yunyao said, generals like Cheng Kai ordered the flag bearers to attack all the way and circle around the outside of the army, just not to attack the camps of the two countries' soldiers.
"General, what should we do? Their infantry and cavalry unite together. Let's continue to charge. Without infantry support, we are too passive.
Almost 30% of the arrows were consumed, and they continued to shoot from a distance, unable to hold on until the main force of infantry arrived. "
"Don't worry, continue to attack, observe the enemy's situation, don't rush into the camp easily."
"Got the order!"
While riding a horse, Cheng Kai held up his telescope to observe the formations between the two countries' soldiers and horses, waiting for opportunities to find loopholes.
Feng Buer and the others had the same plan as Cheng Kai, and they all knew very well where their weaknesses lay.
However, the four of them, who were leading the cavalry to surround the enemy formation, did not know that four soldiers from the rear army were following behind, waving a bamboo tube in their hands and shouting until their voices became hoarse.
Thousands of horses galloped and mountains collapsed.
What's more, hundreds of thousands of cavalry are rushing to attack, and the movement can be imagined.
Except for the sound of war drums and horns that could still be heard, other sounds had no effect at all.
Huang Tian paid off his hard work.
One of the soldiers gritted his teeth, slightly exceeded the limit and intercepted one of the guards who was not the flag bearer, and galloped forward to attack.
"General Ning!"
"Aren't you a soldier who raises golden eagles under Fuji's command? Why are you here in front of me?"
"General Ning, I can't catch up with General Feng because of my humble position, and the brothers under your command can't catch up with you either. We received the letter from General Zhou, General Ye, and the letter from the Northern Xinjiang Palace all at once. I urgently need you to take a look."
Ning Chao frowned slightly, looking at the bamboo tube in the soldier's hand and waving to the soldiers on the side.
"Call the flag, stop chasing the enemy, and withdraw the troops three miles away to rest."
"Got the order!"
"The general has ordered us to stop chasing the enemy and rest three miles away!"
"The general has ordered us to stop chasing the enemy and rest three miles away!"
"The general has ordered us to stop chasing the enemy and rest three miles away!"
With the shouts of hundreds of soldiers and the command of the flag, Ning Chao's soldiers and horses immediately followed the lead of the flag-bearer and rushed towards the outside of the battlefield.
Ning Chao's movement instantly attracted the attention of the other soldiers.
Although he didn't understand Ning Chao's purpose, he immediately sent an order and rushed towards the outside of the battlefield, evacuating the central battlefield with the wind and the remaining clouds.
After the soldiers and horses were stationed in a position with enough time to react to the enemy's surprise attack, Cheng Kai and others immediately rushed towards Ning Chao on horseback.
"Brother Ning, what's the situation? We are looking for loopholes in the enemy's army. Why did they suddenly withdraw?"
"Yeah, what the hell are you doing?"
"Is something wrong?"
"Baoyu, there is a letter from Baotong, and a letter from the Northern Xinjiang Palace. I don't know exactly what happened. The messenger troops under my command have not caught up yet."
"Hush!"
Three sounds of reining in horses were heard in succession, and the three soldiers quickly dismounted and ran towards Cheng Kai and the others.
"This is a letter from the great general, General Zhou, General Ye, and the prince."
The four soldiers took out three bamboo tubes from their robes and handed them to their respective generals. After the four received the letter, the four soldiers also took off the water bags from their waists and drank.
If I don't drink water, my throat will start to smoke.
The four of them gathered together and took out the letter from the bamboo tube and read it.
After a moment, the expressions of the four people changed drastically, and they looked at each other in disbelief with trembling hands.
"Your Majesty, he... he... passed away!"
"Me too!"
"Me too!"
"Me too!"
"Xu, General Cheng, General Feng, General Ning, General Chu, what happened? Why did you suddenly withdraw from the battlefield?"
Zhang Mo reined in his horse, dismounted and walked towards the four of them with a puzzled look on his face.
The four of them hurriedly stuffed the letters in their hands into their wrist guards, controlled their emotions and walked towards Zhang Mo.
"No...it's nothing. I'm afraid the horse will be tired from running."
"Brother Cheng is right. After all, our troops are not as powerful as the enemy. We cannot wait until we are exhausted before resting. This will give the enemy cavalry an opportunity. Mr. Zhang, please let the brothers rest for a while."
"Yeah yeah."
"Commander Zhang, a war of this scale cannot happen overnight. It must be done gradually."
The four of them concealed the letter from Zhang Mo. Although they tried their best to control their expressions, Zhang Mo still found a clue.
When Zhang Mo first came to the Western Regions to serve as the commander-in-chief, he could only rely on a translator to explain things because he did not know the language of the Western Regions.
From that time on, Zhang Mo developed a good ability to observe words and expressions, and deduce the truth and falsehood of words from the expressions of translators and officials from various countries.
The traces left by the great changes in the minds of the four people still did not escape Zhang Mo's piercing eyes.
After rubbing his teeth a few times, Zhang Mo looked at the four people with complex eyes.
"No, what's wrong with you?
We were old acquaintances before I went to Northern Xinjiang. We have been working together for two years since we returned to Korea to support the Northern Expedition. We are brothers in life and death. Is there anything you can't tell me?
There won't be any good news. Are you afraid that I will take away your credit? "
When the four of them heard Zhang Mo's teasing, they looked up at each other with hesitant eyes, thinking about whether to tell Zhang Mo about the situation in the letter.
The four of them made eye contact for a while, and then Cheng Kai sighed. The four of them agreed that Zhang Mo and Marshal Yun must be informed about the withdrawal.
Otherwise, if his side retreats in panic, Commander Yun will be unprepared and will definitely be severely damaged by the enemy.
The lives of hundreds of thousands of people, there is no way to hide this.
"On the way to Beijing, the prince was assassinated at Fengyundu in Xinzhou, Northern Xinjiang, and passed away. Now the order has been sent, ordering us to lead our troops and horses to return to Yingzhou in Northern Xinjiang immediately."
Zhang Mo's tiger body trembled and his eyes widened: "What? Biao...should be king of him...what's wrong with him?"
"The letter said that... he passed away and passed away."
"Impossible, looking at Dalong, who dares to assassinate him, the one-person king who is worth more than ten thousand people and oversees the military and political affairs of the twenty-seven prefectures in northern Xinjiang? Impossible, it must be a delaying strategy of the two countries, Jin and Tu. You can't be fooled.
The war has reached its final stage. If you withdraw your troops and return home at this time, all your efforts will be in vain.
Besides, without an order from the commander-in-chief, escaping from battle will be punished by military law. "
"Well, Commander Zhang, the prince issued orders and the dragon seal is all available. We are under the prince's command, so we have to obey.
We were about to inform you, Kong and Wu about the withdrawal of the troops, but you just happened to be here, so you will tell us on our behalf. "
"No, I will not accept the order of the king outside, let alone the king's order?
Brothers, the overall situation is more important. I don’t agree with your withdrawal! "
The four of them looked at each other and hugged Zhang Mo.
"Brother Zhang Mo, with the king's order in hand, I have to obey. I'm sorry that it's difficult to obey. You two troops should evacuate in time to join the main army.
Sorry! "
"The messenger."
"exist!"
"Ming Jin withdraws the troops."
Zhang Mo held down the messenger's shoulders and stopped in front of the four people.
"Military orders are like mountains, you don't understand, but escaping from battle requires military law."
