North of Lijiang River.
Yanjun camp.
The guru sat in the big tent, looking at the sand table in front of him, glancing at the map from time to time. In front of him, a group of generals and staff were waiting quietly.
"Commander Gu, the Li army has tentatively crossed the river in the past two days."
"Especially the Guanshan army that Dayu came from was so elusive that we could only be beaten passively!"
"Commander, please give me orders to continue going south!"
Figures came out one after another, all asking for orders to continue going south. The ancient scholar's eyes were deep and he said lightly: "Has Dali ever broken through our defense line?"
"Never!"
"Um!"
The guru looked around and said in a deep voice: "There is no need to mention the matter of going south. Now Dayu has sent out troops. If we advance rashly, we may be in danger of being attacked from both sides!"
"Commander Gu, hasn't General Chen already led his army north?"
"Besides, if the imperial court dispatches the nine guards of the capital, they will definitely be able to regain Dongyan City, and even directly counterattack Dayu!"
"Arrogant words!"
The guru's face darkened and he said coldly: "Did you become arrogant after winning a few battles?"
"Soldiers are most afraid of eagerness for quick success."
"Yu's military prowess is by no means comparable to that of Dayu."
"If you still have this attitude, our Nanyan Army will surely follow in the footsteps of the Guard Army!"
After the guru reprimanded him, all the generals responded submissively, but they didn't care in their hearts.
Although Dayu defeated Dayan in several battles, he did not face their Nanyan army directly and only fought against the rabble.
"Report!"
"Commander Qi, General Chen Qian..."
Seeing the scout's hesitant expression, the guru's heart suddenly sank: "Failed?"
"Lead more than 10,000 remaining troops and return to camp!"
"What!"
Even though the guru had been prepared, he couldn't help but feel shocked, with a look of horror on his face!
How long did it take for Chen Qiancai to send troops?
From the time we left the camp to now, it took only five days to count, but now, only more than 10,000 remnant troops are left to return to the camp?
"How can this be?"
"General Chen led an army of 200,000 to the north!"
"Could it be that the damage during the siege was too great?"
All the generals also looked shocked. Thinking of the rumored Dayu, the range of the catapult and the sharp weapon of the crossbow, they calmed down a little.
However, the guru looked a little solemn and looked at the general in front of the tent: "Go and let Chen Qian come in."
"promise!"
Not long after, I saw a disheveled figure staggering into the handsome tent, and everyone's expressions froze.
A burly general bent down, looked at Chen Qian's face, and stared: "Are you really...Chen Qian?"
"Commander Gu, please forgive me!"
Chen Qian walked directly in front of the guru, knelt on the ground with a bang, and kowtowed his head deeply in front of the guru, with a look of grief and anger on his face.
This Bai Qi and that Zhao Yun were simply unworthy. He led his army to flee all the way, and finally reached Nagano, but the Yu army was like driving a flock of sheep, chasing and killing for a while, then letting a group go, and then continued to chase!
When he arrived in Nagano, Bai Qi directly ordered his army to attack the city!
Even Zhao Yun's spear point had already pierced his throat, but he took it back and taunted...
"Tell me, what's going on?"
Guru's face remained calm, looking at the embarrassed Chen Qian in front of him, with a look of disappointment that could not be concealed in his eyes.
Chen Qiannai is a veteran who has followed him for many years and has made great military exploits. Although he is occasionally greedy for life, he is also a rare and strong general.
But now...
Hearing the Guru's question, Chen Qian recalled all the things he had done along the way, and the grievances in his heart suddenly burst out. He couldn't help but burst into tears: "Commander..."
"When the general leads his army to the south of Dongyan City, they will enter a canyon."
"The general became suspicious, so he sent people into the valley to investigate. Sure enough, there was an ambush of Dayu in the canyon."
"Unexpectedly, this group of Yu troops saw that the ambush failed and rushed out of the canyon!"
Speaking of this, a general couldn't help but asked: "How many soldiers and horses did Dayu use?"
"Since General Chen knows that there is Dayu's ambush in the canyon, he must be prepared?"
The person who spoke was Lu Qian, another general under Gu Ru's command. The Lu family and the Chen family had always been at odds, so naturally they would not let go of this opportunity to add insult to injury!
"Yes, I will immediately order the entire army to defend against the enemy!"
"A group of black-armored infantry from Dayu rushed out of the canyon, with only 70,000 troops, and directly broke through our army's formation."
"What!"
All the generals looked horrified, and they all started to criticize Chen Qian verbally and writtenly!
"A 70,000-strong army overwhelmed your 200,000-strong army?"
"Chen Qian, you are really going back more and more!"
"It's absolutely ridiculous!"
"Commander, please punish Chen Qian!"
There was also a look of concentration on Gu Ru's face. He was not in a hurry to reprimand, but asked: "Go on, if Yu's army only has 70,000 people, how can it defeat your 200,000 army?"
"Commander, this Dayu infantry... is simply terrifying!"
"Whether it's military formation, morale, or combat power, they are far superior to our Nanyan Army!"
"What's even more frightening is that the commander of this infantry is simply a pervert!"
"Um?"
"Tell me more about the perversion!"
Chen Gan couldn't help but feel a hint of fear in his heart when he thought of Bai Qi's calm face and his abyss-like eyes.
"That Bai Qi didn't wear armor, he just wore a white gown and held a long sword. He went into battle to kill the enemy in person!"
"The general will immediately give the order to encircle and suppress Bai Qi!"
"But Bai Qi is also a peerless military general. He kills step by step, and the aura on his body keeps rising. From the beginning, he entered the ranks of peerless generals and directly killed to the peak military general level!"
"The last general immediately went out in person to kill Bai Qi!"
"But then Bai Qi..."
As Chen Qian spoke, tears of grievance fell unconsciously on his face: "Then Bai Qi is still killing our soldiers, and the aura on his body is still rising!"
"The final general...is no match for him!"
"The 70,000 troops under his command are even more like wolves and tigers. Our Nanyan army was beaten to the point where we were unable to fight back!"
As soon as Chen Qian finished speaking, Lu Qian retorted again: "Since the morale of the military is already unstable, why not withdraw the troops?"
"snort!"
Seeing Lu Qian attacking him again and again, Chen Gan suppressed his anger and said, "You can think of all the generals you can think of. After the last general ordered the withdrawal, another infantry came out from behind!"
"Thirty thousand infantry and Bai Qi's 70,000 infantry, attack from the front and back!"
"The general can't take care of the head and tail at the same time, so he sends a large army to stay behind and lead the army to break through the encirclement!"
As Chen Qian spoke eloquently, the ancient scholar's brows were already furrowed: "Where did this black-armored infantry come from?"
"Could it be that they are trapped in the rumored camp?"
"Absolutely not!"
Chen Qian shook his head vigorously: "It's not that you are trapped in the camp!"
