Gao Zunyu was already confused and wanted to make up for his mistakes, without even thinking about what the Xixia people would do.

After hearing what Zhong Yi said, if he were the coach of the Xixia people, he would definitely not let go of this opportunity to attack.

Fortunately, fortunately, the water flow has not completely stopped at this time, and the Xixia cavalry cannot attack from Yaode City. Defenses must be deployed, and there is still time.

"Shou Weng, I will send someone else to take charge of the rescue. Let's go back to the headquarters!"

Gao Zunyu couldn't tell whether he wanted to win over Zhongyi as an ally, or find someone to take the blame, or he was really at a loss what to do. The general decided to drag Zhongyi back to the headquarters.

Zhong Yi took a look and saw that there were no soldiers splashing in the water or that could be seen still splashing. There was no use in staying here.

"Commander, all soldiers on this side of the stream should retreat, choose specific terrain, arrange defensive formations, and make full use of their chariots. The general thought that the Xixia people in Yaode City were already prepared to attack.

.”

"The current morale is not suitable for fierce battles. The soldiers need to be repaired and adjusted, so there must be a solid defense. Otherwise, the Xixia people will be defeated in one blow, which will be a greater loss for our department and a grave sin for everyone in our command department.

Irredeemable guilt!”

At this time, Zhong Yi said whatever he said, and Gao Zunyu had no objection.

The headquarters had already been packed up. When the generals returned to the headquarters, it once again became the core of the army.

Zhong Yi has already said everything that needs to be said. He was busy just now and talked about a series of battle plans in an emergency. But when he entered the headquarters, he didn't know what to say anymore.

Everyone was speechless. They were shocked just now. Now they are scared, and even started to consider the responsibility for causing this situation.

The entire command center suddenly became depressed.

······

"Report... to the commander, the team retreating to the west has been blocked. A large group of Xixia cavalry has been deployed in front. There are trenches all over the ground, and the cavalry is all over the mountains and fields..."

Sure enough! Zhong Yi finally guessed it right.

"Shou Weng, what should we do?"

In fact, Zhong Yi had explained all the strategies clearly, but Gao Zunyu couldn't calm down at all and was unable to perform the duties of a head coach.

"Commander, the general believes that our troops should all retreat, shrink all the troops to a radius of ten miles, build fortifications, and be ready!"

"Commander, get ready for a fierce battle. The front of the retreat to the west is probably the Jingsai Army Division of Xixia. I believe that a large number of cavalry from the Jianing Army Division to the east are also coming to encircle and suppress our troops..."

"Commander, we are in a trap this time. From the very beginning, our army is the prey that the Xixia people want to hunt."

It goes without saying what Di Qing is in the eyes of the Xixia people. Isn’t Zhongjia and Guo Kui a famous marshal who fought countless battles with Xixia? Even Xiongmoto, in the years since Zhongjia and Guo Kui retired to the martial arts hall,

It is also famous in the northwest.

Only Gao Shuai in this way, everyone knows Gao Shuai's origin, but how many people praise Gao Shuai's ability to command and fight? In addition, none of his own generation has yet to lead an independent army, so the Xixia people took a fancy to them.

This way.

"Order all our troops to retract across the board, establish defense lines, and prepare for war!"

Gao Zunyu finally sent out the military order, trying his best to pretend to be confident, but he was really frightened.

It should be said that the entire headquarters was furious. No one, no matter ministers, military generals, or supervisors, had not received a letter to withdraw the troops, but each of them saw the ground-breaking contribution to the victory of Xiping Mansion, so they ignored it.

After hearing the imperial edict, he wanted to use the normal withdrawal process to frustrate the imperial court.

The current situation shows that they are all wrong. It is not only a matter of accepting punishment from the court, but also falling into siege by the Xixia people.

Okay, everyone found that their coach was squatting on the ground and sobbing... It shouldn't be a big deal, right?

Taking a closer look, Gao Shuai dropped a letter in his hand! Someone was stupid and handed the letter from the head of the Gao family and the queen to Gao Zunyu.

To be honest, Gao Zunyu was not too worried when a small number of soldiers were swept away by the current. He was just frightened by the scene. Even when he was surrounded by the Xixia people, he was not too worried. With the current ability of the country to carry supplies, he was so worried about his troops.

The supplies he was carrying now could withstand the Xixia people's siege for a month... He believed that this month would be enough for Di Qing and Zhongja to make a sudden advance to alleviate their predicament.

But the letter from his niece Taoniang really frightened him.

No one is more familiar with the methods of the official family than the Lao Liu family, and no one knows the behavior of the official family better than the Lao Liu family. Gao Zunyu believes that if the official family is really serious, let alone him, Gao Zunyu, as the queen

Tao Niang is of no use at all. It may even affect her popularity as a queen as her niece said.

I still remember that when my uncle was in charge of the family, the official family was still the crown prince, and the power of King Pu was still unparalleled in the court. My uncle decided that the Gao family would respect the official family. At that time, Tao Niang was not the crown prince...

·My uncle was impressed by the decisiveness shown by the officials at that time, let alone now!

Maybe it's really over this time! Gao Zunyu couldn't control his emotions anymore. With the fear he saw in his eyes just now, plus the fear in his heart at this time, he couldn't hold it anymore.

Zhong Yi was the closest and the second-in-command of the team, so he casually picked up the letter that Gao Zunyu had dropped on the ground unconsciously.

I shouldn't have read this by myself... Zhongyi saw it and knew that it was a letter from the Empress.

"The commander-in-chief is grieving because the water has swept away the soldiers. Everyone, please follow the commander-in-chief's orders. Please return to your respective defensive positions as soon as possible, organize the soldiers to build defenses, and fight randomly. No Xixia people are allowed to attack any place.

Collapse!"

"Everyone, our materials and military equipment are enough to withstand the Xixia people's siege for more than a month. Now we need to work together to stop the Western thieves' tricks and buy time for other parties to advance! Everyone, take action!"

"In addition, Ji Yiwen must count the number of soldiers swept away by the current, and register the lives of soldiers swept away by the current..."

Zhongyi didn't say anything else, he couldn't go on. He didn't know how many pension documents he needed to write!

"Commander, it's not appropriate to think too much at this time. Although our unit is surrounded, this may not be a bad thing for the overall situation."

"The Western Xia people want to encircle and annihilate our army of 60,000 soldiers. If the participating troops do not have 200,000 troops, it is impossible to encircle and annihilate our army equipped with gunpowder chariots. This will win opportunities for other armies of the country and the dynasty."

"Commander, there is no need to blame yourself. Even if our troops withdraw in time in accordance with the imperial edict, it is inevitable that our troops will be surrounded. This was already doomed when our troops advanced."
