Hearing the cheers from behind, Shen Tujian felt even more ashamed.
He looked at Wanyan Shaoning, whose face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. The latter noticed his gaze and said in a deep voice, "Let's talk about it when we get back!"
"yes……"
Obviously, Wanyan Shaoning is in a bad mood right now.
Not only because of Shen Tujian, but also because of Li Ruyi.
He knew that Li Ruyi was powerful, but he didn't expect that she was already so strong.
He is no match at all.
Back at the base camp, Wanyan Shaoning first asked his generals to count the losses.
"Marshal Qi, in this dispatch, we lost a total of... one thousand soldiers, and fifty-three soldiers were seriously injured and are currently being treated."
The general who entered the camp to report secretly complained in his heart.
One thousand soldiers sounds like a small number, indeed, but don't forget that the battle between the two sides did not last long, and they stepped forward to call for battle fully prepared.
But there were still so many losses.
In the final analysis, there are two reasons.
One is that the Black Armored Army of Daxia is too powerful. Their ordinary soldiers are no match at all and can only be suppressed and beaten in front of the opponent.
Another factor is Qin Yun.
Yes, it seemed that Qin Yun was just a general and could not have a key impact on the battle situation, but he defeated Shentu Jian.
Shen Tujian's defeat disrupted the morale of the Southern Barbarian soldiers, giving the Black Armored Army an opportunity to attack them crazily.
That's why the current situation has occurred.
"...I understand, go down."
Wanyan Shaoning took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in her heart.
He also knew that this failure was not entirely due to Shen Tujian's fault. The strength Qin Yun displayed really surprised everyone.
Because of this, Wanyan Shaoning could not lose his temper randomly on Shen Tujian.
If other soldiers saw this, what would they think of him?
As a marshal of an army, Wanyan Shaoning knew what he should do.
Now is not the time to lose your temper.
But not losing his temper does not mean that he has forgiven Shen Tujian.
As soon as he entered the camp, Shen Tujian knelt down.
"Marshal, my subordinates are responsible for the failure of this battle. I ask the marshal to punish me!"
Seeing his sincere attitude, Wanyan Shaoning didn't make things difficult for him.
"stand up."
"marshal!"
"I told you to wake up!"
"……yes."
Shen Tujian stood up with a guilty expression.
"After all, he is my southern barbarian general. Have you never heard of the saying that a man has gold at his knees? How does it look like to kneel down at every turn?"
Wanyan Shaoning lightly scolded him.
"What the marshal said is true, but I do have a big responsibility for the failure of this battle, and you also did it because of me..."
Shen Tujian didn't dare to say any more.
Wanyan Shaoning frowned.
"Sit down first. You are a general under my command. You want to win. At least this idea is correct. After the battle, you can also summarize your faults and come to me to receive punishment... Just this attitude , I won’t punish you.”
"Thank you Marshal."
Shen Tujian smiled bitterly and sat on the chair.
"What do you think?"
"Qin Yun is very strong, I am no match for him."
Shen Tujian said frankly.
He is a very magnanimous person, unlike Helian Yaru, who is narrow-minded and unwilling to admit it even if he is not Qin Yun's opponent.
Shen Tujian was different. In order to win the battle, he had to admit his shortcomings.
This way, it would be more convenient for Wanyan Shaoning to arrange his troops.
Once he tries to be brave, Wanyan Shaoning will arrange for him to deal with Qin Yun again. Not only will Shen Tujian himself lose his life, but the opportunity to fight will also be delayed, which is a thankless effort.
After hearing this, Wanyan Shaoning's expression softened slightly.
"Yes, I can see it too. It's good that you can admit it to yourself."
He crossed his fingers, narrowed his eyes and said, "You think Qin Yun is difficult, I think Li Ruyi is difficult. In the brief confrontation just now, I have fully felt her power."
"Could it be that he is stronger than you, the marshal?"
Shen Tujian's eyes widened in disbelief.
He had personally experienced Wanyan Shaoning's power.
A general more powerful than this Nanman Marshal... Shen Tujian couldn't imagine it.
"Not to mention stronger than me, he's about the same as me."
Wanyan Shaoning could not say in front of Shentu Jian that he was not Li Ruyi's opponent. That would be too demoralizing. Even if Shentu Jian was his confidant and his most trusted general, Wanyan Shaoning still had reservations about him.
"Xiang Jiequn, let's increase our efforts."
"yes."
Shen Tujian felt awe-struck.
It seemed that Wanyan Shaoning really felt threatened.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to place his hopes on another person.
Shen Tujian chewed on these two names silently.
Li Ruyi, Qin Yun.
It's really not simple.
At this time, the Daxia military camp was very lively. Li Ruyi won the first battle after his arrival, which undoubtedly boosted morale and made many soldiers feel confident about this battle.
"General Qin Yun can knock down Shentu Jian, what are we afraid of?"
"Not even Wanyan Shaoning is a match for Marshal Li!"
"We Daxia will definitely win this battle!"
"That's right! We will definitely win!"
Qin Yun and others were sitting in the tent and couldn't help but smile when they heard the cheers outside.
"Hey... I have endured that Xiang Jiequn for so long, and I can finally feel proud for once."
Yi Rui said sighing while holding a cup of tea.
"That's right, without your order, Marshal Li, none of us would dare to do anything to Xiang Jiequn. This guy is rubbing his nose and face, acting like he's the boss and I'm the second child all day long. It's unpleasant to watch."
Xia Mu also echoed.
"Now is a war period. At this critical moment, Xiang Jiequn is indeed very ignorant."
After all, he is also a veteran of Daxia, and he actually brought his personal grudges to the battlefield...
Li Ruyi couldn't help but clenched her fists when she thought of the secret message Qin Yun asked the royal messenger to bring to Xia Zi.
The current battle is just about to begin.
At this time, Xiang Jiequn was in his tent.
"General Xiang, aren't you going to celebrate with the soldiers?"
The soldier who followed Xiang Jiequn most often frowned when he heard this and yelled: "What did you say? Who are we, General Xiang? How can we mess around with those reckless men?"
"Ah...yes."
The soldier carefully observed Xiang Jiequn's face, and then said to the soldier: "Get out."
There were only two people left in the camp.
Now, Xiang Jiequn's heart is very peaceful.
The soldier originally wanted to comfort him a few words, but seeing his expression, he suddenly felt that there was no need to comfort him.
"I know what you are going to say, no need to say it, I understand it."
Waved to Jiequn.
"You should also go out and leave me alone."
"Well... then, General, I will take my leave."
