The whole army was wiped out?! Lie Xiangyang's eyes widened, how could this be possible! He didn't believe it, he would never believe it would be such a result. Three hundred thousand troops were wiped out by thirty thousand troops. How could this happen?
possible!
"Is it true?" Nanmenya suddenly stood up from the chair. That was a quarter of their troops! Even Xuanyuan Aotian couldn't sit still at this moment. Who doesn't know that when troops are sent out,
Their men and horses are also inside, all deployed in a unified manner.
Lie Xiangyang woke up suddenly at the sound. He looked at the soldier below and said loudly: "Nonsense! Are you a spy sent by Feng Qi to confuse me?"
The soldier trembled and said quickly: "Your Majesty is aware that even ten thousand generals would not dare to do so."
"Come here, drag this man down for me. He dares to mislead the military. I will kill him as a warning!" Lie Xiangyang shouted violently. Someone came in immediately and dragged the soldier down. The soldier shouted loudly.
Shouting, "The general will be wronged, the general will be wronged!"
Looking at all this, Dugu Yiming felt even more uneasy. He would not believe that this person was lying. Thirty thousand people wiped out an entire army of 300,000 people. If it were others, he might not believe it, but
, those were people under Feng Qi, he had to believe it.
"Report!" At this time, another voice sounded. Xuanyuan Aotian looked up and looked outside. He knew that this was a report from the direction of the siege. The situation seemed to be getting worse. If Gui Ji hadn't had this idea at the beginning,
If he comes, he won't come so easily. Now everything depends on the situation of the siege.
Looking at the soldiers coming in, Lie Xiangyang said impatiently: "Speak quickly!"
"Your Majesty, Qingyang Pass has been unable to be attacked for a long time. Our army..." the soldier paused and continued, "We have already been defeated. The soldiers are now out of men and horses. I don't know if we can retreat today and attack again tomorrow!
"When he said the next words, the soldier's voice lowered unconsciously.
Attack again tomorrow? Lie Xiangyang's eyebrows instantly twisted. How is it possible? He has no time. The date agreed with Guiji is coming soon. He is bound to capture Qingyang Pass today, and 300,000 people will die.
So what, isn’t Feng Qi’s side also suffering from battle damage?
Nan Mengya couldn't help it anymore. She stood up and said: "Lie Xiangyang, the situation is not optimistic at the moment. If we continue to attack forcefully now, we may really be completely defeated. Don't attack today and retreat!"
Xuanyuan Aotian also echoed: "We have already lost so many people in Danfeng Valley. If these negative news spread to the front line, I am afraid it will also destabilize the morale of the army. I also suggest retreating first."
However, Lie Xiangyang still refused to give up. He looked at Dugu Yiming and said, "Brother Dugu thinks so too?"
With a slight smile, Dugu Yiming glanced at Lie Xiangyang. Does he still want to attack now? It seems that his ambition is really not small, but what should he do in this situation?
"I also suggest withdrawing the troops!" Dugu Yiming whispered.
Hearing this, Lie Xiang raised his brows and said in a cold voice: "If we don't work hard, I'm afraid it will be difficult to break through Qingyang Pass again."
"Difficult? It's better than dying. Lie Xiangyang, you have to understand that these troops are not just yours. An army of 300,000 people. Do you think it's as simple as just talking? We have lost three people because of you.
We have an army of 100,000, and I don’t want to tell you anything else now, withdraw the troops!” Nanmenya’s attitude was tough and her tone was extremely unkind.
Xuanyuan Aotian frowned. Although Guiji asked him to help Lie Xiangyang, how could he help in this situation? He couldn't let his people die. Lie Xiangyang was too eager to win.
"Brother Lie, why are you so anxious? You and I both know that these people are our lifeblood. Without soldiers and horses, where would we be in this world?" Dugu Yiming advised from the side, but his tone was extremely serious.
.
Is this forcing him? Lie Xiangyang clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and said loudly: "Withdraw troops."
In the Qingyang Pass, in the tent, Feng Qi was sitting on the front seat with a solemn expression. Nangong Zhaoran was telling the story of the battle, and Feng Lang was frightened.
"Your Majesty, your plan has been successful. Our 30,000 men destroyed their 300,000 horses. Moreover, I also spread the news to the ears of the commander of the siege. The soldiers who attacked the city all know that,
It can be regarded as disrupting the enemy's military morale, and they are already defeated." Nangong Zhaoran looked a little happy.
Feng Lang looked at Nangong Zhaoran in shock and asked, "What's the plan?"
When Nangong Zhaoran saw that Feng Qi had no intention of speaking, he quickly said: "We accidentally learned that there are grains and grass stored in Danfeng Valley. These grains and grasses were secretly prepared by Lie Xiangyang. The emperor guessed that he wanted to conquer the city in the future and not worry about the grains and grass.
It was prepared, but this was done without telling the others, so Lie Xiangyang’s selfishness can be imagined. We
We sent our most elite cavalry, the Xiaoqi Battalion, to attack there. Lie Xiangyang was worried that his food and grass would be burned, so he would definitely send troops there, and relying on his large number, he dared to act recklessly. He wanted to completely annihilate our Xiaoqi Battalion.
, to protect his food and grass, which is why the emperor has not ordered the burning of those food and grass until now."
"Those grains and grass are a temptation!" Feng Lang said to himself.
Nangong Zhaoran nodded, "Those 30,000 brave cavalry men and horses died in the right place. Not only did they destroy the enemy's 300,000 men, but they also disturbed the hearts of the siege soldiers. I think the time mentioned by the emperor has come."
Timing? Feng Lang looked at Feng Qi doubtfully. Indeed, the third brother said he wanted to attack, but never did. Could it be... He was shocked. It was indeed wonderful. In this way, victory was not impossible.
Outside Qingyang Pass, after giving the order to withdraw the troops, Lie Xiangyang sat slumped on a chair. So many people had died, and his confidence now had to be shaken. If the project resumes tomorrow, is there any certainty of victory?
He doesn't know.
Nan Mengya waited anxiously and looked outside the camp. She was waiting for Sima Kongming to come back, and there was a faint feeling of uneasiness in her heart.
There was silence inside the camp, which was eerie and a bit scary.
At this time, another voice came, "Report!"
Lie Xiangyang said impatiently: "Speak!"
"Reporting to your lords, the enemy troops suddenly opened the city gates, rushed out, and attacked our army! Our army was defeated steadily, with countless casualties!" When he said this, the man's voice couldn't help but tremble, and there was blood everywhere.
