Gal Mingren led 8,000 men and horses on a light night march to Dafeichuan to attack the camp. However, as soon as the army arrived at the Han army camp, they realized something was wrong. The Han army camp was empty and no one was guarding it. Gal Mingren shouted that it was not good and quickly ordered the entire army to retreat. Just when the Tibetan army turned their horses and prepared to flee, they heard fire everywhere, and the Han army came out of nowhere and rushed towards them. The two armies fought together in the light of fire, and the shouts of killing shook the sky in the dark. Within a few moments, most of the Tibetan army was dead and wounded. Akihito held a long spear and led his men to rush left and right, and finally found an exit. However, he stopped another Han general, who was An Shiqing.
"Where to go..." An Shiqing shouted and led a group of people to block the way.
Akihito had no choice but to rush forward with his spear drawn and his horse leaping forward. An Shiqing didn't show any weakness. He wielded his steel knife and slashed at Akihito. The two sides fought back and forth for seven or eight rounds. More and more Dabo soldiers followed Akihito in his direction, so An Shiqing's troops gradually became unable to withstand them. When Akihito saw that his men had found an exit, he quickly used a flaw and followed the crowd with his spear. Ran.
An Shiqing felt dissatisfied when he saw that the enemy general was escaping through his own gap, so he picked up the bow and arrow from his waist, opened the bow and shot the arrow towards the back of Gar Minghren. However, Mingren had quick eyesight and quick hands, holding the spear to block the arrow. Block it, and then retreat towards the direction of Qishan surrounded by his men.
An Shiqing slapped his horse and was about to catch up, but Chen Tuizhi from behind shouted loudly, "General An, the marshal has an order, don't chase the poor bandits..." An Shiqing gave up.
By this time it was already daylight, and Garminren led the remaining defeated soldiers to flee all the way before returning to Dafan's camp in Qishan. Xiruo Zandhuo looked at the disgraced Gar Mingren, tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, and then hid his face and sighed. Just when everyone in the camp thought that the coach would take advantage of Akihito, Xiruo Zandhuo smiled coldly and stepped forward. He helped Akihito, who was kneeling on the ground, to stand up, and then quickly pulled out the sword from Akihito's waist. The gleaming sword instantly startled the generals sitting there. Is the coach about to go on a killing spree?
Just when everyone was stunned, Xiruozhenzhuo suddenly put the sword in his right hand across his neck and was about to commit suicide. Before he could say it, Galminren grabbed the sharp sword in his hand with his backhand. , and then quickly put the sword back into its sheath. At this moment, the generals present were so frightened that they all stood up and knelt down on one knee, shouting in unison: "It's the subordinates and others who are incompetent!"
Garminren also knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, "Marshal, this time it was my subordinate who did something wrong, which caused half of the eight thousand brothers to lose. It is not your fault. I am willing to be dealt with by military law."
Xiruozandhuo helped Akihito up again, patted his shoulder, and said seriously: "This matter has nothing to do with you. You also advised me not to act recklessly. The attack on the camp was too hasty. It shows that you are a talented person. It is all my fault." Shuai went his own way and didn't listen to your opinions, which is why he failed like this."
At this time, the subordinates said in unison: "It is the subordinates and others who have neglected their duties."
"Okay!" Xiruozandra waved to them, "You all get up."
After everyone looked at each other, they slowly stood up. Garminren said: "Marshal, what should we do next?"
"This sneak attack failed. It seems that we can only retreat to Wuhai for the time being."
"But even so, I'm afraid the Han army will pursue and fight fiercely! If we move reinforcements inward now, I'm afraid those people from the peace faction will advance to slander His Majesty!"
A hint of fatigue appeared on Xi Ruozandra's face. The 40-year-old coach seemed to have aged a lot overnight. He turned around and staggered towards the front seat. The legs that he originally tried to hide seemed to be no longer there at this moment. I couldn't stand the severe pain anymore. Although he did not say why his left leg was injured last night, Gal Mingren understood that it must be the injury he sustained when he escaped from Shanzhou City. The reason why he endured the severe pain was because he was afraid that others would know. I came here to calm down the morale of the army, and secondly, I didn’t want the court to know that I had lost so hastily. But now it can be seen that the coach is gradually unable to support himself. The people under his command also seemed to find something strange about the marshal's legs, but no one dared to say anything. Xiruozandra slowly sat back down, opened his eyes slightly, and said coldly: "Now I can only defend Wuhai. I will study on my own in the middle of the court. Of course, someone will mobilize..."
Just as they were talking, a scout came galloping to report, "Report to the marshal, Gao Jun and others are leading a large group of troops towards us."
Everyone was astonished and turned their attention to the coach, but at this time, Xiruozandhuo was uncharacteristically calm. He closed his eyes and remained silent. He seemed to be thinking and suppressing his anger. It seemed that he could feel the pain on his forehead. The veins are throbbing.
After a while, Xiruozandra finally spoke, "Have you found out how many enemy troops are coming?"
"I don't know the specifics, but what is certain is that there must be no less than 60,000 troops."
"How far is it from Qishan?"
"I'll probably arrive in half an hour."
After Tan Ma finished speaking, there was another uproar in the camp. At this time, someone finally came out and said: "Marshal, let's retreat to Wuhai quickly! This is not a place where we can stay for a long time. I'm afraid something will change later!"
Xiruozandra remained silent, just waving to Tanma to signal him to go down. Seeing that the coach was silent, the others all agreed and hurriedly evacuated. Suddenly, the camp became a mess. Xiruozandra started to get a little impatient with the noisy quarrel, and suddenly roared: "Shut up, everyone!"
This sudden roar caught everyone off guard, and they all retracted their necks and did not dare to make a sound. When everyone was quiet, Xi Ruozanzhuo sneered: "If it's too late, there will be a change. I hope it's your husband who will change!"
After hearing the marshal's reprimand, everyone took a step back and stretched their ears to listen to the marshal's instructions. However, Xiruozandra did not continue to scold, but called softly: "Akihito!"
"My subordinates are here!" Gal Mingren stepped out and bowed, clasping his fists.
"How do you think we should handle this?"
"My subordinates dare not speak nonsense."
"It's okay, but it doesn't matter!"
Gar Mingren has lost his mind. Obviously, if he goes by what the marshal said to him last night, then the marshal will definitely not back down. But in a head-on confrontation with the Han army, our chances of winning are not great now. After all, the Han army is equipped with Excellent and well-trained, but if he persuades the commander to retreat, he will go against the marshal's wishes. Akihito rolled his eyes and the plan came to his mind, "Forgive me for speaking frankly, I feel that since the other party used an empty city tactic, why don't we also use an empty city tactic!"
Xiruozandra's eyes shone, "Oh? Please tell me and listen."
"We sent one group of troops to pretend to retreat first, and then sent two groups of troops to ambush in the bushes on the mountain. When they came to pursue us, we lured the enemy deep, and the ambushed soldiers intercepted and killed them from behind. Then we If we try to kill him again, although the odds of winning are hard to say, at least we can give them a try."
"Well..." Xiruozandra nodded and thought deeply, "This is a good idea. Let them see how powerful we are this time, so that they will never come back!"
