"General Ge, thanks to you risking your life to save me today, we will definitely repay you today's kindness in the future!" But after the six generals arrived at the safe area, they said gratefully to Liu Bang at the same time.
"They are all those ungrateful untouchables. Everyone knows that the untouchables should not even appear in front of us. Now we are just asking them to give up a few miles of land. They dare to disobey our orders. We deserve this." Killed all by the Scourge Legion!"
"Yes, even if they come back alive, I will kill them all as a warning to others!" Several generals said angrily.
There is no way, today's situation is really too dangerous. As the untouchables outside rebelled, all the guards of the generals were quickly killed.
After all, as nobles who can never look at untouchables, their guards must also be nobles. For example, the guards of the public clan are all composed of nobles, and at least they must be Chen clan.
But since he was a noble, one could imagine that person's ability. Anyway, he was no match for these untouchables who fought with wild beasts every day, and he was quickly killed completely.
Seeing these untouchables with red eyes, just when they were about to boldly massacre the noble nobles, Liu Bang appeared. With his 1,000 elite soldiers, he successfully broke through the siege of these untouchables and rushed into the six people. Inside the general's camp.
Then he put a golden cloth over their heads and ordered people to carry them out.
How he rushed out specifically, because his head was covered, the generals couldn't understand. Anyway, they heard a fierce clash of swords and guns, and the shouts of the Scourge Legion. In the end, everything calmed down. Above them, After the cloth cover was taken off, Liu Bang was already covered in blood, and only a few of the elite soldiers he brought with him were still with him.
According to Liu Bang, these people were all brave soldiers who died on the battlefield, but they were lucky enough to live up to their fate and rescued all the generals.
These generals were also very moved. After all, Liu Bang saved their lives, and they still understood the weight of life-saving grace.
Moreover, Liu Bang was very considerate. He even put hoods on them to prevent them from seeing the untouchables with their naked eyes, thereby preventing their own eyes from being contaminated. Liu Bang was indeed very considerate.
The only problem is that Liu Bang seems to be a pariah, but since he has become a general, his level must be different from other pariahs. The generals are kind enough to treat him as a dust tribe.
So there was the opening dialogue. These generals were filled with gratitude to Liu Bang.
"My lords, it's not advisable to stay here for a long time. It's better for us to go back as soon as possible!" Liu Bang said. The six generals nodded hurriedly, and then followed Liu Bang all the way around. Finally, they returned to the water province and reported the battle to the superiors. Case.
After learning that the million-strong army had been wiped out, all the princes in the seven provinces were stunned, and then became madly angry.
After all, it took them a year of hard work to gather this million-strong army. Not to mention whether they still had a year, it would be difficult to get so many more people just for the one-million-strong army.
Some people may be surprised. The seven provinces together have a population of tens of millions, so why can't they get the second one million?
That's because far more than 1 million was lost before.
In the previous year's battles, although the armies of the seven provinces had more victories than defeats, most of their soldiers were lost in each battle. If they wanted to replenish their soldiers, they had to recruit from various villages.
As a result, nearly 5 million people were recruited into the army in one year. Therefore, if you want to rebuild a coalition army with a scale of one million, the total number of people recruited will reach 6 million, which is almost equivalent to seven One-tenth of the total population of the province.
As a result, the difficulty of recruiting troops can be imagined. Even the princes of the seven provinces who did not take human life seriously were completely unable to sit still at this time and sent special envoys to question the seven generals.
After learning this result, several generals were naturally on pins and needles. Fortunately, Liu Bang appeared again at the critical moment. He took the initiative to find the six generals and asked them how they planned to report the situation of this battle.
The six generals were hesitant and didn't know how to speak, so Liu Bang took out a report he had written and handed it to the six generals and said, "This is the war situation report written by the last general. Generals, please See if there is any discrepancy with the actual situation!"
These generals immediately took the report in their hands and saw that the report said that they would lead an army of one million people to fight the enemy with high morale. However, I did not expect that the enemy army did not respect martial ethics and had promised to fight a million-strong army. In the end, tens of millions of people gathered, and the army was at the disadvantage of being absolutely surrounded by the enemy.
But the six generals did not have the slightest fear or fear. The soldiers they bravely led fought fiercely with the enemy and did not retreat even to the last soldier.
In the end, the 1 million-strong army killed and injured 9 million of the enemy. However, the Scourge Legion followed through with their conspiracy and tricked all the soldiers into rebelling.
The six generals still showed no fear and used their own strength to break out of the encirclement. Unfortunately, all the guardsmen died during the breakout, but the six generals came back unscathed.
Although the initial strategic goal of recapturing Ding Province was not realized, it annihilated a large number of enemy troops, frustrated the enemy's spirit, and promoted Zhou's military power. In the end, despite facing a desperate situation, he was still able to successfully break through and fully It reflects the strong command ability and personal strength of the six generals.
So overall, it was a win.
After reading the report, the six generals were stunned for a moment, and then asked ecstatically, "General Ge, have we really won?"
"Of course we won!" Liu Bang said without hesitation, "We used 1 million people to kill 9 million of the enemy, and in the end we had to retreat due to the enemy's conspiracy. In the end, we broke out of the siege safely. If If this is not considered a victory, what other battle on that day can be considered a victory?"
The six generals quickly reached an agreement and signed the suspension report one after another. When the envoys from their respective provinces came to question, they naturally answered according to the unified rhetoric.
Do the seven major princes know that there is a problem?
This is uncertain, but one thing is certain, that is, for the common people, winning a war is definitely better than losing a war.
Although the battle was won, the men and children of the family did not come back. After all, winning the battle also resulted in death!
Therefore, this report was immediately unanimously recognized by the seven provinces. Emperor Zhou even praised the six generals in the edict, criticized Ge Bang, and then ordered him to reorganize the army of the seven provinces and coordinate all the military affairs in the seven provinces. Military supplies were used to train millions of troops again within a year.
Everyone was happy for a while.
The seven major princes were very happy, after all, they had won the battle.
Emperor Zhou was also very happy. After all, he successfully took away the military power of the seven major princes and handed it over to his own people who he had supported.
Liu Xu was also very happy, after all, now even all the enemy troops were his own.
The only one who was unhappy was probably Liu Bang.
