In the commander's tent of the Chinese army, Gao Ding has woken up and is enjoying breakfast under the care of his personal guards. He slept well last night, but he was a little worried about the war in Anshang city.
Huh, E Huan and Feng Ying are the same. They haven't sent anyone back to report the military situation after a whole night. Do they really have to wait until the three-day period is up before sending people back to report the victory?
The two of them were so careless in their work, but that shouldn't be the case. It's understandable that E Huan is used to neglecting things. How could a thoughtful person like Brother Feng forget this? Could it be that the battle situation was too smooth to care about this matter?
He was thinking a lot, but he never thought that E Huan Fengying's Second Division had been defeated. He only thought that it was temporarily delayed due to the fierce fighting.
"Your Majesty, it's not good, Feng Ying's people are back."
Just as Gao Ding finished his breakfast and was about to summon Huo Yuan to send out scouts to find out the news, he saw Huo Yuan running into the tent with a panicked look on his face.
"Oh? Feng Ying finally sent someone back to report the military situation." Gao Ding said slowly while wiping his hands with a silk scarf.
It's just that it's a good thing that the spies are back at the camp. Huo Yuan can't say what he wants to do, and his actions are getting even worse.
He turned around and was about to scold Huo Yuan when he saw Huo Yuan kneeling down and reporting in a crying tone: "Your Majesty, something happened. General Feng and General E are all dead."
"What nonsense are you talking about so early in the morning?" Gao Ding was stunned for a moment, then stepped forward and kicked Huo Yuan to the ground.
Regardless of the pain, Huo Yuan got up quickly, came close to Gao Ding, and continued to report: "Your Majesty, this is not just the general's nonsense. There were hundreds of brothers who just escaped from Anshang City, most of them were General Feng's subordinates. Everyone. The last general has selected a few leaders and are waiting outside the tent. If the king doesn’t believe it, he can call them in for questioning."
What he said was clear and coherent, and Gao Ding already believed it in his heart. However, this matter was too bizarre. Gao Ding did not believe that he could be eaten just by having hundreds of officers and soldiers in the city and a large number of people. Six thousand troops.
Gao Ding took a breath, forced himself to calm down, and sternly said to Huo Yuan: "Bring the people in yet!"
"Your Majesty, we are all subordinates of General Fengying, who escaped from Anshang overnight." One of the leading Yi soldiers bowed and said.
Seeing that these people's faces were full of weather, and they didn't look like they were being fake, Gao Ding was shocked and angry, and yelled: "What happened in Anshang City?"
"Your Majesty, I and my generals arrived at Anshang smoothly yesterday noon. After resting for a while, they launched an attack on the south city. It went smoothly at the beginning. The enemies in the south of the city were suppressed by our army and could only parry.
Unexpectedly, more than an hour later, thousands of Han people appeared behind our army's formation. They came very quickly and launched a sudden attack on our army. Our army was unable to respond and was immediately defeated.
At this time, the officers and soldiers in the city came out to kill more generals. Under attack from both inside and outside, our troops had no choice but to flee for their lives. When the villains fled, General Feng was surrounded by people in the south city. He was probably poisoned at this moment. "
After hearing this, Gao Ding asked with confused eyes: "What about E Huan and the others?"
The leader of the Yi soldiers said again: "After our unit was attacked, we soon heard the sound of golden drums coming from the north of the city. Later, according to the brothers who escaped from the north city, they were also attacked by thousands of Han troops. General E He was also surrounded by Han Chinese and could not escape, so it was already a very bad time."
After hearing the report from the barbarian soldier, Gao Ding worriedly asked other people, but all the answers he got were similar. He couldn't help but swayed a few times, and after a while he shouted: "How could this be?"
After saying that, he could no longer stand and fell weakly behind him. Upon seeing this, Huo Yuan and others hurried forward to support him and kept calling, causing chaos in the tent.
After a long time, Gao Ding finally woke up and found that he was already lying on the couch. Huo Yuan was waiting in front of him anxiously. There were still several people standing in the hall, all of whom were his trusted generals, looking at him in panic. Looking at him.
"Your Majesty?" Huo Yuan called.
Gao Ding hummed, opened the silk robe covering his body, and sat up. Huo Yuan quickly stepped forward to help him.
Gao Ding threw his hand away, got off the bed, looked at the generals and said weakly: "You must all know, Feng Ying and E Huan were ordered by me to attack An Going up to the city, this is a top secret, but the Han people got the news from somewhere and made preparations early. Our six thousand army was surrounded by the main force of the army led by Yang Qingxiao'er at the foot of Anshang City. Yesterday, the entire army was wiped out .”
Having said this, he sighed and said, "What do you think our army should do next?"
Not only did his carefully planned strategy fail to work, but it was also used by the government and soldiers to take advantage of the situation, resulting in the destruction of thousands of troops. The sudden turn of the battle situation really made him a little confused, and he didn't know how to deal with it next.
Although everyone had already learned the specific situation from Huo Yuan, they were still shocked when they heard the bad news again from their own king.
Unexpectedly, the king openly left E Huan to guard Qiongdu, but secretly asked him to pretend to be sick to deceive everyone, and then led his troops to take a detour to attack Anshang City.
Unexpectedly, Feng Yingbu quietly set out on the eve of the night just to meet up with E Huan to attack An Shang City.
Unexpectedly, this plan had already been discovered by the officers and soldiers, and the Han prefect Yang Qing used it to annihilate thousands of his own troops in one fell swoop.
Gaoding Fangcun was in chaos, and the generals in the tent were no better than him. They all looked confused and confused.
Moreover, the most resourceful Feng Ying has been killed, and most of the remaining generals are brave and straightforward. It is easy for them to lead troops to kill the enemy, but it is difficult for them to make suggestions.
Especially in the current complex situation, everyone did not know how to deal with it. As long as the king issued a message, everyone could not say a word, so they had to bite the bullet and express their opinions.
In an instant, everyone was talking about generals. Some said that the troops were insufficient and morale had plummeted, so it was better to withdraw. Some said that all the troops should be mobilized to fight to the death with the government troops. Some said that there must be spies in the army and Gao Ding should go first. The hoe...
For a while, there were many people talking and having different opinions in the big tent. Later, everyone started quarreling, everyone said that their own idea was the best policy, and some even took action if they were not convinced.
"That's enough, please shut up."
An angry shout shocked everyone into silence. It turned out that Gao Ding, who was standing in front of the map, finally couldn't stand it anymore and stopped the noise with an angry look on his face.
Gao Ding felt a little tired now, and secretly cursed himself for being so stupid as to trust these few goods. If Li Qiucheng, Feng Ying or even E Huan were here, they would definitely be able to share the worries for him. It is better to rely on these people than on himself. .
"Your Majesty, the general thinks that our army still has eight or nine thousand men. It is still more powerful than the Han people and can still fight. We cannot withdraw our troops so easily, otherwise the tribe will be in trouble."
Just when Gao Ding was about to make a decision on his own, a hoarse voice suddenly came from his voice. He looked around and found out that it was Agunan who was standing at the back of everyone.
He seemed to remember that when everyone was discussing just now, this person just said that he could not withdraw and then stopped talking. Unexpectedly, this person seemed to have some clever ideas now.
Gao Ding nodded. He understood what A Gu Nan meant. He personally led the army to the expedition but ended up in a huge defeat. When the news spread back to Qiongdu and other places, it would definitely cause chaos among the people, and there was no doubt that the Han people under his rule would rebel.
"Agu Nan, please continue, what should we do next?"
