Chapter 888
On a mountain road outside Wuguan, Chen Yue and Chu Yucheng were anxiously standing on the hillside with their feet on the ground and looking at them. At the end of the road, there were cavalry troops rushing towards them.
The flags in the military formation rustled under the cold wind.
"It's the Red Flame Army and the White Snow Guard!"
The sharp-eyed Yan Hongyi shouted out first, his face full of excitement.
"Huh~"
Chu Yucheng also breathed a sigh of relief and said softly: "Looking at the posture of the cavalry, there are not too many casualties."
Chenyue looked at the rapidly advancing cavalry. They were the army returning from the direction of Pukou, but there had been no movement on the Linyi Valley side so far. He didn't know what the situation was like.
When the cavalry reached the upper slope, Qi Guang and Lin Xian rode out of the battle and headed straight for the hillside where Chen Yue and others were stationed. The large group of cavalry did not stop at all and rushed straight to Wuguan.
.
"Your Majesty!"
Qi Guang clasped his fists in salute, gritted his teeth and said, "The general is incompetent. The army was ambushed by the Yan army at Pukou. We were defeated. We are ashamed of our trust in the prince."
They almost didn't stop along the way, and they pushed the speed of their horses to the extreme before they were able to shake off Totto Buhua behind them. Otherwise, if they were caught up, it would be another fierce battle.
"It'll be good to come back, it'll be good to come back."
Chenyue looked at Qi Guang, who was covered in blood, and felt very distressed: "You are not responsible for the war. The decision to send troops was made by me. It only caused suffering to the soldiers."
The cavalry passing by the hillside were a mixture of red and white. Everyone was solemn and silent, their faces a little downcast.
Lin Xian said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the Yan Army sent a full 20,000 people to ambush the Red Flame Army. If the crossbowmen hadn't discovered the traces of the Yan Army by chance, I'm afraid none of us would have been able to come back today."
"Twenty thousand riders, twenty thousand riders."
Chenyue recited it twice, and then said fiercely: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really generous. He wants to eat our army at all costs."
Qi Guang said silently: "If Bai Xuewei's brother hadn't arrived in time, we would have had no choice but to fight our way out."
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore and go back to the city first." Chu Yucheng patted the shoulders of the two of them, his eyes a little lonely.
Qi Guang turned around and looked around, and then asked with some hope: "Your Majesty, are Han Bai and the others back?"
This is what Qi Guang is most concerned about. He is lucky enough to be back, but there is still no news from Han Bai.
Chen Yue and Chu Yucheng looked at each other and said nothing.
Qi Guang and Lin Xian's hearts suddenly sank to the bottom. As expected, Han Bai and the others hadn't come back yet.
"Why is this happening? Why haven't you come back yet?" Qi Guang looked in the direction of Linyi Valley with a sad expression.
"That's all, let's go back to the city."
Chenyue sighed: "The crossbowmen have been sent out. If there is any news, they will come back and report immediately."
Qi Guang and Lin Xian nodded slightly, but they knew in their hearts that the soldiers in the direction of Linyi Valley were in danger.
…
"General Tuotuo, you can't do this. You actually let Liang Jun escape. You have turned a deaf ear to the instructions of His Highness the Crown Prince and Lord Zhao Pingling, right?"
In the Yan Jun commander's tent, the arrogant Mu Yunba was sarcastic and sarcastic towards Tuo Tuo Bu Hua.
He lost track of the fleeing White Snow Guards. He thought he would be scolded when he returned to the big tent, but he didn't expect that it would be even more stupid to take off without spending money. He actually made no achievements and just let Liang's army run away.
Mu Yunba was really happy now. Comparing one another with others would lead to death, and comparing goods with others would lead to throwing away things. You Tuo Tuo Bu Hua stood here as a backdrop, and he had made great achievements.
There was anger in Tuo Tuo Bu Hua's eyes, but he did not rush to get angry at all. He just clasped his fists respectfully and said: "Your Highness, your subordinate has delayed the military plane, please punish me!"
In fact, Tuo Tuo Bu Hua felt very aggrieved. It could be said that he was following Liang Jun's butt and eating a lot of ashes. Let alone encirclement and annihilation battles, even large-scale cavalry battles only took a moment.
.
There was absolutely no chance of severely damaging Liang's army. In addition, the Snow Guards were too fast and their bows and arrows were accurate. The soldiers under their command had disappeared before they could recover.
When Tuotuofuhua returned to the camp, she expected that Mu Yunba would step on her severely. As expected, she started to act strangely as soon as she entered the commander's tent.
"Hmph, doesn't the general always boast of having led the army for many years and having outstanding military exploits? Why don't you talk about it this time?" Mu Yunba's whisper made Tuotuo Buhua's face darker.
Looking at the two generals in the tent, Mu Yunduankang frowned with dissatisfaction. To be honest, he was not very satisfied with the result.
"Okay, please stop saying a few words." Mu Yunduankang waved his hand with a cold face: "Victory and defeat are common matters for military officers, but we can't ignore it if it delays the military aircraft. General Tuo Tuo went down to receive thirty military merits. As for Mu Yunba, you
You have meritoriously killed the enemy, go and receive the reward."
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
They both cupped their fists and shouted.
When he walked out of the tent, Mu Yunba swaggered and took off his clothes. The expression on his face was extremely happy.
One was rewarded and the other was punished, which made Mu Yunba feel happy.
Seeing Mu Yunba striding away, Tuotuo Buhua clenched his fists, already scolding his ancestors in his heart.
Oh, no, his ancestors are from the Dayan royal family, so he cannot be scolded.
Mu Yunduankang walked to the map unhappily, looked at the positions of Linyi Valley and Pukou and said: "What two wastes. They dispatched an army of 40,000 people, but they still didn't completely annihilate the Liang army, not even half of the enemy."
Do it.”
His Highness the Prince had to be angry. Originally, this battle could determine the victory on the Wuguan battlefield, but now it can only be regarded as an ordinary victory.
"You can't say that."
Baili Shen walked to Mu Yun Duankang's side: "Didn't we kill six or seven thousand enemies? The two cavalry armies, the Red Flame Army and the White Snow Guard, are amazingly powerful. It is not easy to cripple them in a single battle.
"
"What a pity it was such a perfect plan." Mu Yunduankang shook his head.
"It doesn't matter."
Bailishen stretched his waist: "This battle will definitely greatly reduce the morale of the Liang army. Next, we can freely attack Wuguan. If we give them the courage, they will not dare to sneak attack on our rear transportation."
Team up."
"Okay, okay, your mentality is too good." Mu Yunduankang looked at the calm Baili Shen and curled his lips helplessly.
"In a war, nothing goes as planned." Baili Shen looked at it with openness: "Compared with Mu Yunhuan, this good news is still very shameless."
"Hahaha. That's true." Mu Yunduankang laughed out loud. He had achieved such a victory just two months after arriving at the border of Beiliang. Compared with his third brother who had made no achievements in attacking Shuofeng City, it was much better.
.
"Take your time, don't be in a hurry." A smile appeared on Baili Shen's lips.
Mu Yunduankang stared at the map for a while and said in a deep voice: "As soon as the siege vehicles from the rear arrive, we will begin to attack the city. Let Tuotuo Buhua lead the army to supervise the battle and give him a chance to make meritorious deeds!"
