In the Xia Kingdom, under the wilderness.
Qi Feixiong's residence.
He led his people to evacuate from the frontline camp again and again, away from the battlefield. Although they were covered up by the Qin army, fortunately, two cavalry were arranged to block the Qin army from behind, thus ensuring the smooth retreat of the army.
This is Qi Feixiong's nature.
In any major battle, sufficient rear-end forces must be arranged to ensure a smooth retreat when the situation is unfavorable.
Under the wilderness, the army rested in place.
Many soldiers were sighing; there were also many wounded soldiers who were screaming.
The morale of the entire Xia Kingdom's officers and men was in turmoil.
Qi Feixiong sat down against a tree and looked at the bonfires burning around him. He looked at the frightened and helpless expressions on the faces of the soldiers, and his heart became more and more solemn. Originally fighting on the front line, the army had a batch of food.
It's a pity that this batch of food was lost with the loss of the military camp.
In this battle, the food and grass in the frontline army was lost. There was completely insufficient food and grass in the army, and the soldiers even had nothing to eat at night. Next, the army can only rest first and collect food supplies when passing through the towns tomorrow to ensure that the soldiers will not starve.
Gong Lang was also sitting next to Qi Feixiong. The Western Army under his command did not participate in the battle, but only retreated with the army. The combat effectiveness of the entire Western Army soldiers was preserved intact and was not affected.
Gong Lang said sternly: "Lieutenant, we lost this battle, do you think we can still resist in the future?"
"It must be possible!"
Qi Feixiong answered loudly.
He was a little confused inside, but he knew one thing very well: he would never admit defeat until the end. Qi Feixiong knew one thing better: Xia Kingdom could not be destroyed like this.
The Xia Kingdom still has a lot of power.
Xia Guo can still fight.
Qi Feixiong continued: "The Xia Kingdom has been inherited for hundreds of years, and it is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. I believe that although we are temporarily defeated, we can still reverse the situation in the future."
Gong Lang said: "Lieutenant, I'm just a little worried."
"Worry?"
Qi Feixiong shook his head.
Gong Lang looked at Qi Feixiong with confusion, not understanding Qi Feixiong's intention.
Qi Feixiong said solemnly: "At this point, worrying is useless. We have no way to interfere with the changes in the domestic situation in Anyi. What we can do now is to change our current situation and strive to reverse the situation. This is what we should do .If you can’t complete this step, forget about the others.”
Gong Lang nodded.
However, I was still extremely worried.
The situation is too unfavorable.
Gong Lang stopped talking, thinking about the next direction and various things that might happen.
Qi Feixiong glanced at Gong Lang and said nothing more. In times of national calamity, he thought of his loyal ministers and good generals, and he was better able to judge other people's hearts.
While Qi Feixiong was waiting, Murong Ba and Mu Lingyun came back.
Both of them looked very cold and solemn.
Murong Ba said sternly: "Lieutenant, the main casualties in this battle were my elite troops, and more than 21,000 people died in the battle."
Mu Lingyun said: "The troops under my command have also lost more than 10,000 men. Our current military strength is equivalent to the loss of more than 31,000 men. Of course, judging from the normal situation, it may not really be so many losses. There are many people who have fled and will come back to join us later. Even so, it can be inferred that in this battle, we lost more than 20,000 troops, at least almost 25,000."
A look of exhaustion appeared on Qi Feixiong's old cheeks.
Twenty-five thousand people.
This is two and a half percent of the strength, not a small number.
Qi Feixiong said in a deep voice: "How is the fighting spirit of the soldiers?"
Murong Ba sighed: "The condition of the soldiers is very bad. All the soldiers were panicked when they learned that the food and grass were lost and that Xu Shangshu was dead. Next, if you want to fight the Xia Kingdom head-on on the battlefield, you have already It’s difficult.”
Mu Lingyun said: "Lieutenant, as General Murong mentioned, we are going to fight the Qin army head-on. It is impossible to win and we will definitely lose. I suggest that we retreat to the Yangcheng defense in the rear to wait for the opportunity. The situation is not favorable. , the only thing we can do is to wait for the opportunity.”
Gong Lang said: "I'm afraid Yangcheng can't stop it. Should we just withdraw to Anyi?"
"no!"
Qi Feixiong answered directly without thinking.
His eyes were sharp and he said: "Once we retreat back to Anyi, all places along the way will be under the rule of Qin. Even Qin's army is approaching Anyi, and our Xia State is in danger. Follow Mu Lingyun's suggestion and retreat to Yangcheng Town. Defending is the most appropriate plan."
"On the one hand, Yangcheng still has a certain amount of food and grass; on the other hand, Yangcheng's city is relatively strong and can be used for defensive operations."
"Although the Qin army led by Bai Cejun and Lin Feng is powerful, facing a strong city, it is not easy for them to capture the city. At least, it is absolutely impossible to capture Yangcheng without paying the death of tens of thousands of people. "
Qi Feixiong said: "Staying in Yangcheng is our only chance."
Gong Lang nodded and said no more.
Qi Feixiong is the coach.
Qi Feixiong has the final say in everything.
"Report!"
At this moment, a soldier hurriedly came over and reported: "Lieutenant, there are two people outside, saying they came under His Majesty's order."
"Please."
Qi Feixiong gave an order.
He was also curious in his heart, who did the emperor arrange to come?
The soldier went to notify him, and not long after, Tie Yifan came over with Fan You. After he left Anyi, he went all the way west. As soon as I arrived nearby today, I discovered Xia's defeated troops. After some inquiring, I found out that Xia's troops had been defeated for a while.
Tie Yifan's face was slightly cold, and he cupped his hands and said, "I, Tie Yifan, is the great master enshrined by the royal family."
Qi Feixiong stood up immediately.
Great master!
His Majesty actually arranged for the Grand Master to come.
This is a good thing.
There was a hint of joy on Qi Feixiong's old and tired face, and he quickly said: "The Grand Master has arrived just in time. We are fighting against Da Qin, and we are worried about how to deal with it? With the Grand Master sitting in charge, we will rely on the Yangcheng garrison to help us. It’s that simple.”
"guard?"
Tie Yifan shook his head and said, "I will not go to Yangcheng, nor will I assist you in guarding it. My mission is to sneak into the Qin army camp and assassinate Bai Cejun. By the way, if you can kill Lin Feng, then kill Lin Feng." "
Qi Feixiong disagreed in his heart and quickly advised: "Grand Master, the Qin Army has hundreds of thousands of troops camped. The number of people is extremely large, and the Qin Army must be fully prepared. Whether it is Bai Cejun or Lin Feng, they are both cunning and cunning people. , are all extremely powerful.”
"It's impossible for them to have any defense."
"Among countless armies, it is not easy for you to find Bai Cejun's commanding camp or even kill him. Why not come with me and return to Yangcheng City to defend it. As long as you defend it, everything will be easy."
Tie Yifan said stubbornly: "I can't go to Yangcheng. This will not change. As for finding the commander, why is it difficult? With the commander's banner, it is enough to judge everything. You don't have to worry."
Qi Feixiong said: "Grand Master, please believe me. I know Bai Cejun very well and I know Lin Feng very well. If you want to assassinate, it is impossible to succeed. There may even be a Grand Master in the opponent's army, waiting for you. Go and assassinate now, That’s throwing yourself into a trap.”
"Hahaha……"
Tie Yifan laughed loudly.
Laughter, showing disdain.
Throw yourself into a trap?
He, Tie Yifan, has been in the Grand Master Realm for many years, but he has never heard anyone say, who can deal with him?
The great grandmaster of Great Qin?
He had never heard of it.
He is even more unafraid.
Even if there is a great master of the Qin Dynasty, he can be killed directly. This is Tie Yifan's confidence and confidence.
After Tie Yifan stopped laughing, he said: "Qi Feixiong, I came to the army firstly to see how you are commanding the army, and secondly to understand the appearance of Bai Cejun and Lin Feng. Presumably, you have met Bai Cejun and Lin Feng Yes, give me two portraits so that I can find the right person to kill."
Qi Feixiong wanted to persuade him, but when the words came to his lips, Tie Yifan glared at him.
Qi Feixiong's back was like a light and he didn't dare to say any more.
He is the commander-in-chief of the army, but Tie Yifan is also a servant of the royal family. Even the weight of the royal family's offerings far exceeded him and was stronger than him.
Qi Feixiong immediately called someone, drew the faces of Bai Cejun and Lin Feng, and handed them to Tie Yifan.
Qi Feixiong said: "Grandmaster, be careful of everything."
"You don't need to worry. I'll come back as soon as I go. During this time, you prepare your army for war. When I return after killing Bai Cejun and Lin Feng, you lead the army to fight back overnight, decide the outcome in one battle, and defeat the Qin army."
Tie Yifan put away the portrait and left.
Fan You followed and left.
Qi Feixiong looked at Tie Yifan's leaving figure with deep worry on his face.
Gong Lang said with relief: "Commander, there is actually no need to worry too much. The strength of the Grand Master is difficult to estimate. Tie Yifan is worshiped by the royal family. Over the years, Tie Yifan's strength has already become extraordinary."
"He took action personally. In my opinion, he might be able to kill Bai Cejun."
"We have nothing to worry about here."
Gong Lang said: "In short, I believe that if the Grand Master takes action, we will definitely win. I think we should be ready to send troops. Once Tie Yifan is assassinated and returned to Bai Ce's army, we can send troops."
Murong Ba had a horrified look on his face and said in shock: "In front of Tie Yifan, I feel that it is difficult to continue the movement of Qi. The power of the Grand Master is unparalleled, so I also believe that the Grand Master will win."
Mu Lingyun said: "Commander, I agree with my humble position. The capabilities of the Grand Master have already exceeded the limits that we mortals can imagine. The Grand Master can fly into the sky and escape from the earth. With such strength, he can assassinate a Bai Cejun and capture him with ease."
"I even think that it is impossible for the Qin army to have any great master, and I have never heard of any great master in Great Qin in recent years."
"If so, isn't Lin Feng showing off?"
Mu Lingyun's eyes also glowed.
In my heart, I have expectations.
It is already difficult for them to defeat the Qin army head-on. Just like this, Tie Yifan came with great hope.
Murong Ba agreed: "Yes, Lin Feng is extremely cunning and cunning, and he uses information to the maximum extent. If he has a great master, he will definitely use this to suppress our military morale to the maximum extent."
Gong Lang said: "Commander, let's prepare to fight back."
"good!"
Qi Feixiong was still worried, but when he saw that all the generals agreed, he nodded and said: "I'll take a gamble and everyone prepares for battle. We will attack directly when Tie Yifan comes back."
"The handsome and wise man!"
Murong Ba, Mu Lingyun and Gong Lang answered in unison.
The three of them were full of confidence in Tie Yifan. The Grand Master was like a land god, aloof from all things. Compared to the trust of Murong Ba, Mu Lingyun and others, Tie Yifan himself was even more confident.
He is the Grand Master.
This is the invincible man on land.
As a grand master, it would be easy for him to kill a mere Bai Cejun without any difficulty.
Tie Yifan led Fan You quickly, heading west. Although it was night, it was almost fifteen, and a full moon rose into the sky, illuminating the sky and dispelling the darkness at night, making the night quite bright.
The scenery is nice in the hazy night.
Tie Yifan was not in the mood to enjoy the night view, so he rode quickly on his horse. Going west, near early morning, Tie Yifan arrived outside the Qin army's camp.
The campground is extremely quiet.
Tie Yifan stood outside the camp and observed from a distance, and found that except for the soldiers on patrol at night, there was no other movement in the camp.
The entire camp was quiet.
Tie Yifan knew something about the layout of the military camp. He determined the time interval between the Qin army's night patrols, left Fan You outside the camp, and sneaked directly into the camp. For Tie Yifan, this was extremely easy.
He headed towards the Chinese army's tent. As he approached the center of the camp, Tie Yifan saw the big flag set up outside the Chinese army's tent.
This is the flag representing the coach.
In the Chinese army's tent, the oil lamp was still on. The lights burned, dispersing the darkness. Looking from the outside, one could see a figure sitting in the tent.
Tie Yifan had a smile on his face, his chance had come.
This must be Bai Cejun.
Tie Yifan saw two soldiers standing guard at the entrance of the camp. He was not afraid at all. His true energy was flowing and he took one step forward. He was extremely fast, and in an instant he was in front of the two men and took action. Two palm knives fell, and the two soldiers standing guard fell to the ground.
Tie Yifan did not deal with the soldiers. He raised the tent curtain and entered directly into the tent, where he saw Bai Cejun who was dealing with government affairs.
A smile appeared on his face.
"Amitabha!"
Suddenly, a Buddha's name came.
In the corner of the tent, Xu Chen stood up, looked at Tie Yifan who entered, with a smile on his face, and said lightly: "Donor, poor monk Xu Chen, you have been waiting for a long time."
brush!
Tie Yifan's expression changed drastically.
Xu Chen!
As far as he knew, Xu Chen was the abbot of White Horse Temple, so how could he be in the Qin army's camp?
Tie Yifan's eyes were sharp and he never had any intention of retreating. He said in a deep voice: "Xu Chen, you can't protect Bai Cejun."
"Amitabha."
Another deep voice came.
Zhishan then entered the tent and said calmly: "Donor, poor monk Zhishan, I have been waiting for you for a long time."
Zhishan was resting in a nearby camp, not far from the Chinese army's tent. And outside Zhishan's camp, there was someone specifically responsible for keeping an eye on the situation at the entrance of Bai Cejun's camp. Once someone takes action against a soldier standing guard, the person watching from a distance will immediately be discovered and then notify Zhishan.
So Zhishan arrived just in time.
Tie Yifan looked back at Zhishan, his heart skipped a beat, and his expression changed drastically.
Zhishan!
This is the great master of Dalin Temple. Why is Dalin Temple involved?
Tie Yifan was a little confused.
He just came to assassinate Bai Cejun, why did the great masters of Baima Temple and Dalin Temple come, and they clearly laid a trap waiting for him.
I think highly of him.
