Huangfu Yunzhao looked coldly and said calmly: "It is indeed the undead army, but it may not be one of our own."

Several horses arrived at the gate of the city, reined in their horses and stopped.

"This Khan is Bu Liuda Donglin Khan." Yiqi said loudly: "You report to General Huangfu quickly and invite him to see him."

Huangfu Yunzhao said in a deep voice: "This general is here."

"So you are General Huangfu?" Donglin Khan did not dismount, crossed his arms and saluted: "I have heard about General for a long time, and today I finally met him."

Huangfu Yunzhao did not waste any nonsense and asked directly: "Donglin Khan, where is General Dou? Where is Qin Xiao's head?"

"Qin Xiao's head is still on his neck, but General Dou's head may already be in Qin Xiao's hands." Donglin Khan spoke very directly and seemed very upright.

As soon as these words came out, Huangfu Yunzhao's expression changed, and everyone around him was also shocked.

"Donglin Khan, what do you mean by this?" Xu Shen said angrily: "Why are you the only one coming back and not General Dou?"

Donglin Khan said loudly: "General Anton told this Khan that a trap was set to annihilate Qin Xiao and his Long Rui Army. The Undead Army will coordinate with General Dou's cavalry regiment to ambush Long Rui Army's main reinforcements.

, and annihilate them in one fell swoop.”

He was so energetic that even though the walls of Shunjin City were tall, the people above could still hear clearly.

"That's right." Huangfu Yunzhao said in a deep voice, "Didn't you act as planned?"

Donglin Khan sounded dissatisfied and said coldly: "But Long Ruijun not only did not fall into the trap, but instead set a trap. We all fell into Qin Xiao's trap. General Huangfu, are you not aware of Qin Xiao's trick?"

arrive?"

Huangfu Yunzhao suddenly changed his color, pressed his hands on the battlements, and said in horror: "What did you say?"

"Qin Xiao did not arrive at the place we expected." Donglin Khan said: "They stopped at Longba and used Longba as a high point to hold on. After General Dou learned about it, he ordered the entire army to attack.

Siege Longba. The Immortal Army assisted in the siege on three sides and helped General Dou contain most of the Long Rui Army's troops, making it impossible to attack for a long time."

Huangfu Yunzhao's face was even more ugly.

"Not only did General Tang fail to capture the county town, he was defeated by them." Donglin Khan said: "And the Long Rui Army secretly colluded with the Zhenyu people. They ambush thousands of cavalry and took advantage of us when we were unable to attack for a long time.

, attacked from behind, General Dou was caught off guard and fell into a bitter battle."

Huangfu Yunzhao and Xu Shen were both shocked and pale.

"How is General Dou doing now?" Xu Shen asked anxiously.

"I'm afraid he has died in the battle." Donglin Khan said.

Huangfu Yunzhao said coldly: "Donglin Khan, General Dou has not come back. Why did your troops and horses come back in good condition? Could it be that you abandoned General Dou and evacuated without authorization?"

Donglin Khan said solemnly: "General Huangfu and General Wang's deployment was to have the Undead Army coordinate with General Dou to ambush Long Rui's army. But the situation has changed. We still cooperated with General Dou to besiege Longba. But Long Rui's army did lay out a plan

It’s a trap, so of course I have no choice but to evacuate.”

Although Xu Shen belonged to Huangfu Yunzhao's faction and was not in harmony with Tang Kaijia and Dou Xiong, he also knew that this military plan was unusual and directly related to the life and death of the Liaodong Army.

If it wins, the Liaodong Army can completely eradicate Long Rui's Army in a short period of time and regain control of the four northeastern counties.

But if this plan fails, the consequences will be disastrous.

More than half of the main force of the Liaodong Army participated in this military operation. Now Tang Kaijia and Dou Xiong have suffered devastating blows. In the entire Yingping County, there is now only this lone army in Shunjin City. For the Liaodong Army, the situation is precarious.

The undead army withdrew from the battlefield and refused to save the dead. Xu Shen was naturally furious and said sternly: "Donglin Khan, you refused to save the dead and evacuated without permission. If General Dou's entire army is wiped out, can you bear the responsibility? You...

...You are simply audacious."

Donglin Khan also had a bad temper and said angrily: "Who are you? You didn't find out the trap set by Long Rui's army, which caused the undead army to be in trouble. If I hadn't evacuated in time, the consequences would have been disastrous. I came with my army."

I'm not a slave to be manipulated by you." After a pause, he said loudly: "The men under my command are very tired. General Huangfu, please open the city gate now. Our troops are going into the city to recuperate. Prepare food and wine.

Let the children have a good meal."

Xu Shen and the others around him were all angry and felt that this barbarian was really unreasonable.

On the battlefield, they watched their friendly troops fall into a bitter battle. Instead of rescuing them, they abandoned their friendly troops and evacuated. Now, they didn't feel any guilt at all. Instead, they asked to enter the city, and even asked for food and wine to be prepared in the city. It seemed like they were returning from a great victory.

To reward soldiers and horses.

Even Huangfu Yunzhao's face was extremely ugly.

However, he knew very well that the defeat on Jiping's side was irreversible. At this time, he had to come up with a response strategy as soon as possible, otherwise the next situation would only be even worse.

The undead army evacuated without authorization. Huangfu Yunzhao was naturally angry and wished he could kill Donglin Khan with one arrow.

But he also knew that at this moment, he really couldn't break up with these barbarians.

Although he despises this group of barbarians, he also knows that the Undead Army is brave and good at fighting. If he and Dong Lin Khan break up at this time, these barbarians might turn against him on the spot and turn from friendly forces directly into enemies.

No matter how much you hate it, you can only suppress your anger temporarily and settle the accounts later.

He knew that there was still one last chance to save the situation.

Gu Baiyi!

Outside the West City, thousands of Gu Baiyi's troops were still there. If Qin Xiao arrived and concentrated their forces to quickly annihilate Gu Baiyi's troops, it might be possible to reverse the situation.

There are six thousand people in the city, plus two thousand undead cavalry. Facing Gu Baiyi, they are not inferior in terms of military strength or strength.

At this point, we can only give it a try.

Rather than sit back and wait to be killed bit by bit by Long Rui's army, it is better to fight this battle. As long as the undead army can fully assist, the chance of winning this battle is not small.

The most important thing is to seize the time.

Since the Immortal Army has withdrawn, Dou Xiong's side must be in trouble.

After Qin Xiao annihilated Dou Xiong, he would definitely come to Gu Baiyi's aid quickly, so time was waiting for no one and there was no time to delay.

"Donglin Khan, according to what you said, it is indeed a wise move for you to evacuate quickly." Huangfu Yunzhao said calmly: "Don't worry, if the general asks questions in the future, I will report this to the general with you.

It's not your fault Donglin Khan, it's Qin Xiao's fault."

Xu Shen was stunned, not expecting Huangfu Yunzhao to say this.

Donglin Khan's tone also softened and he said: "General Huangfu is a sensible person, and I am very happy."

"Actually, wine and meat have been prepared in the city." Huangfu Yunzhao said loudly: "The brothers of the Undead Army have worked hard and should be rewarded. But... Donglin Khan and Qin Xiao must have defeated General Dou.

They will not be stranded in Jiping. If nothing else happens, they will quickly gather troops and horses to come to Shunjincheng. I know that you are all working hard, but if you enter the city now, if you continue to delay, Qin Xiao's troops will arrive soon.

." He raised his hand and pointed to the west and said: "There are six or seven thousand Long Rui troops outside the West City. Once Qin Xiao arrives and joins forces, the situation will be extremely dangerous."

Donglin Khan asked: "What does General Huangfu mean?"

"Even if Qin Xiao wins in Jiping, it will definitely take a while to clear the battlefield and assemble troops." Huangfu Yunzhao said seriously: "And this is the opportunity we can use. Donglin Khan, this general's plan

, now quickly launch an attack on the enemy troops outside the city. I will now gather the soldiers and horses in the city. Donglin Khan will lead the undead army to go around the enemy's flank. When the general sends a signal at the top of the city, you will immediately attack the enemy's formation from the flank.

, I will also personally lead the soldiers and horses in the city to kill them. In this way, we will definitely win in one battle."

"General Huangfu means to take action tonight?"

"Exactly." Huangfu Yunzhao said: "Without further delay, I will order the troops to assemble now. Donglin Khan can also set off now. What do you think?"

Donglin Khan immediately shook his head and said: "No. The children besieged Longba for two days and did not eat or sleep well. After evacuating from Longba, they walked non-stop and almost didn't eat on the way. We are already exhausted and we are going to fight at this time.

Absolutely impossible. General Huangfu, your plan is very good, but it is very difficult to implement it now. Ben Khan wants the children to go to the city tonight, drink and eat meat, and then have a good night's rest after they are full.

There are also war horses. There must be plenty of horse supplies in the city. We will feed our war horses and wait for the horses and humans to regain their strength before going out to fight tomorrow."

Huangfu Yunzhao frowned and said, "If we wait until tomorrow, I'm afraid the enemy's reinforcements will also arrive."

"There's nothing we can do about it." Donglin Khan seemed very stubborn, "We can't fight now. Open the city gate quickly!"

Xu Shen whispered: "General, we cannot let them enter the city. The people of Bu Liuda have betrayed their trust and refused to save General Dou. Have they been bribed by Qin Xiao? If two thousand cavalry enter the city, they will definitely be in trouble if they cause trouble.

"

Huangfu Yunzhao thought for a moment and then said: "Donglin Khan, since you have to wait until tomorrow to go out to battle, the celebration banquet will wait. You can rest outside the city tonight, and when you regain your strength, we will work together to annihilate the enemy forces outside the city.

When the time comes for you to enter the city again, I can guarantee that the city will have as much wine and meat as you want. Moreover, I will also give heavy rewards to the soldiers who have made great achievements in battle, and I will never let you down."

"What do you mean?" Donglin Khan said angrily: "You want us to freeze outside the city? We have not prepared a tent, how can we rest?"

Xu Shen couldn't help but said: "Your Modong Grassland is a bitter cold land, and the climate is much worse than here. And I heard that the training of the Undead Army is harsh. Can't you overcome this difficulty? It's the middle of the night, and entering the city at this time will only disturb people.

The people in the city...!"

"General Huangfu, if you think about it carefully, should you let us enter the city or keep us out of the city?" Donglin Khan's tone was extremely calm.

Huangfu Yunzhao said calmly: "I'll feel aggrieved tonight. If you want to eat meat and drink wine, you can go to battle now. Maybe by dawn, the enemies outside the city will have been annihilated."

"Very good." Donglin Khan said: "General Huangfu, this is your decision, not that we don't go into the city to help defend. We came to help in the battle, but it's not our fault that you closed the city gate and kept us out.

"But he turned the horse's head in a circle, shouted, and led several of his men to gallop away.

"A mere barbarian can be so angry." Xu Shen also said angrily: "General, you must let these barbarians know what the rules are in the future."

But soon, the sound of people shouting and horses neighing was heard, and under the moonlight, the undead army was vaguely seen starting to move to the east.
