"Hahaha."

A burst of hearty laughter rang out in the meeting hall at Jianmenguan, where a large group of Beiliang generals were sitting on both sides with laughter.

"General Yue, General Li. These two Modao soldiers who have been practicing for several months really opened our eyes today, haha." Lang Yi stroked his beard and laughed.

Lang Yi, who was born in the cavalry army, always felt that it was easy to fall into a disadvantage when fighting against cavalry on foot, but today's Mo Dao army actually showed a momentum of gaining the upper hand.

"I made all the generals laugh, haha." Yue Zhanpeng cupped his hands. Although his tone was modest, his face was still proud.

After fighting fiercely with Jin Bing for several hours today, Yue Zhanpeng was able to shake off the grievances in his chest and let Mo Dao Army reappear, which could be regarded as realizing one of his wishes.

"If we are given enough time to train more than 10,000 Mo Dao troops, they will be even more powerful." Li Siye said with confidence.

Everyone believed Li Siye's words, and it must have been extremely shocking to imagine the tens of thousands of soldiers advancing like a wall.

Six thousand soldiers can kill 4,000 enemies. The Mo Dao army with over 10,000 people may have a hard time breaking the formation even with 20,000 cavalry.

Chen Yue smiled and said: "Now that there is a big battle ahead, the two generals can fight while taking time to train new soldiers. You can choose as many soldiers as you want from the infantry in Beiliang and Liaodong to join the army."

Chenyue was smiling all over his face and said frankly that it was a wise move for the Mo family to build Mo Dao on a large scale.

"promise!"

They both drank together.

After all, the Modao Army has very high physical requirements for its soldiers. It is difficult for ordinary soldiers to continue fighting while wielding a long sword weighing dozens of kilograms.

Chu Yucheng said: "After this battle, Wan Yanliang is afraid that he will return to Yanzhou to gather his army and start a war with us again."

"I guess so. Let the crossbowmen always pay attention to the movements of the golden soldiers and make sure they don't make any mistakes!" Chen Yue said in a deep voice.

"promise!"

The night was dark, the Jinbing camp was gleaming with fire, and teams of scouts were scattered around the camp, cruising back and forth to guard against sneak attacks by the Beiliang army.

Since Chenyue arrived at the front line, the Jin soldiers' awareness of precautions has become several times stronger. Now is no longer the time to attack the city wantonly. If they are not careful, all the bones and dregs will be eaten by Beiliang.

The atmosphere in Wan Yanliang's handsome tent was a little dull. Seven or eight trusted generals all bowed their heads and remained silent. Pucha Rongbao had another scar on his body. It was the one scratched by Mo Dao during the day. If the blade penetrated deeper

So little by little, Pucha Rongbao died.

Wan Yanliang, who was leaning on the chair, felt very depressed. It was not because another three or four thousand soldiers died today, but because now he had no way to defeat the Beiliang Army. How should the battle be fought?

"Everyone, please tell me what you think." Wan Yanliang waved his hands in a rather unmotivated manner.

The generals in the room looked at each other and said nothing.

Finally, it was Pucha Rongbao who said in a deep voice: "General, now that the matter has come to this, we can only retreat to the territory of Yanzhou first, gather our troops, and rely on the terrain to fight the decisive battle with the main force of Beiliang."

Many generals nodded slightly. They didn't want to stay in this damn Jianmen Pass for a moment. Since everyone came to this Jianmen Pass a few months ago, no one has been able to move forward.

"Withdraw troops?" Wan Yanliang frowned, feeling a little unhappy.

Shunzhou has been lost, Tanzhou has been lost, now Jianmen Pass must also be withdrawn? Although he experienced a small defeat today, Wan Yanliang did not feel that he could not fight Beiliang.

"We cannot withdraw!" Wan Yanliang said in a deep voice: "The strength of our army is almost the same as that of the Beiliang Army. Once we retreat, what will be the face of our Daikin, and how can I explain it to His Majesty!"

"General, the terrain at Jianmen Pass is so narrow that it is impossible for large groups of cavalry to deploy. Our withdrawal into Yanzhou does not mean defeat, it is just a strategy."

"That's right, General. The army has been besieging Jianmen Pass for a long time and needs to go back for some repairs."

"We cannot retreat, we must fight to the death with the Beiliang Army here!"

…

Soon, the generals in the big tent began to discuss each other's words, and the majority of the generals supported the withdrawal of troops.

Just when Wan Yanliang was getting irritated, a scout who was out on patrol broke in.

"Report! General, the Northern Liang Cavalry has been spotted dozens of miles southwest and is on its way to this place. It is estimated that they will arrive in a day or two."

"Southwest?" Pucha Rongbao's heart tightened. It should be coming from the direction of Suicheng, and he quickly asked: "How many people are there?"

"The number is unknown, between thirty and forty thousand, all cavalry, and some of the cavalry are wearing silver-white armor, which is very conspicuous." The scout quickly replied.

When he heard that it was indeed the Beiliang army he met in Suicheng, Pucha Rongbao became a little anxious and turned to look at Wan Yanliang: "General, look, there are reinforcements in Beiliang, and they are fresh troops. If we don't withdraw,

In Yanzhou, I am afraid that the army will be attacked from two sides here."

Pucha Rongbao was already wary of the Daliang Dragon Riders. In his eyes, those ten thousand people were worth tens of thousands of golden soldiers.

The big tent suddenly became quiet, everyone was waiting for Wan Yanliang to make a decision.

At this moment, Wan Yanliang was finally a little shaken.

"General!" Pucha Rongbao shouted again: "It doesn't matter the temporary defeat. As long as we preserve our strength and reorganize the team, the final victory will eventually belong to us!"

"Alas!" Wan Yanliang finally relented: "Then I'll listen to you and withdraw the troops."

All the generals in the room immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Wan Yanliang stood up slowly: "Instruct each battalion to retreat alternately. Send cavalry scouts along the way to guard against pursuit by the Northern Liang Army. The entire army will withdraw to Yanzhou!"

"promise!"

After receiving the order, the generals filed out and hurriedly returned to their respective camps to begin mobilizing troops. Withdrawal was also quite a troublesome matter.

Only Pucha Rongbao was retained by Wan Yanliang.

"General? Is there something wrong?" Pucha Rongbao asked with doubts on his face.

Wan Yanliang waved, and Pucha Rongbao sat down next to Wan Yanliang.

"There are two things you need to do." Wan Yanliang raised two fingers and whispered.

"Please give me your orders, general!" Pucha Rongbao cupped his hand.

Wan Yanliang pointed in the direction of Yanzhou and said: "You go back to Yanzhou first, mobilize the garrison troops and red-headed soldiers from each city, and join the army. In addition, I will write a battle report for you to take away. You will send people back to the imperial capital overnight.

.”

"Send back to the imperial capital?" There was some hesitation on Pucha Rongbao's face.

After all, the front line was defeated one after another. If this news came back, His Majesty the Emperor's nose would be so angry that he might even have to issue an edict to punish him.

"It's such a big thing that we can't hide it. Let's report it first and then talk about it." Wan Yanliang smiled bitterly. Even if he was from the royal family, he couldn't afford to be charged with concealing military information.

"promise!"

Seeing that Wanyan Liang had said this, Pucha Rongbao had no objection.

"Go quickly, it's an emergency." Wan Yanliang waved his hand tiredly.
