Duan Lingtian was also shocked when he walked out of the camp with Xiao Yu and Xiao Xun.
A group of nearly 90,000 soldiers were suppressed in darkness, kneeling in front of the central tent. They were filled with grief and anger. Waves of sound swept up and spread almost throughout the entire "Shaoxing City", making the city of Shaoxing seem to be shrouded in a layer of gloom.
The residents of Shaoxing City are now gathering in the streets and alleys, all with gloomy faces.
"I originally thought that when the 'Red Dragon Army' came, they would be able to cooperate with the border troops to defeat the 'Nanzhao Kingdom'... I didn't expect that they would be defeated in a disastrous defeat!"
"Hmph! This matter has nothing to do with the Red Dragon Army. It was all the blind command of that bullshit military advisor, which led to the death of tens of thousands of soldiers in the border army!"
"How do you know?"
"I have a cousin who is in the border army. Now he and his brothers are asking General He for orders to kill that bullshit military advisor!"
"A military advisor who tricked tens of thousands of soldiers to death deserves to die! Why do you need to ask for orders?"
"The identity of that military advisor is not simple. He is the son of the Prime Minister of our Chixiao Kingdom, and his name is 'Gu Xuan'!"
…
Similar remarks were spread throughout the city of Shaoxing.
For a time, there was a lot of excitement outside.
He Wei'an stood in front of the central tent, with tears in his eyes, looking at the nearly 90,000 soldiers in front of him, with a sad face and speechless for a moment.
"General! If you are worried that 'Gu Xuan' is the son of the prime minister, we can take action personally, we are not afraid!"
"Yes! We are not afraid!"
"General, although we cannot avoid casualties when marching and fighting... this time, if we also kill tens of thousands of people in the Nanzhao Kingdom, we will admit it! But this time, we have killed tens of thousands of brothers, and the Nanzhao Kingdom has killed and injured more than ten thousand people."
But there are no more than a thousand people!”
"Brothers cannot die in vain!"
…
A group of soldiers, their eyes were red, and their momentum was soaring into the sky.
"We have tens of thousands of dead on our side, but the other side has only a thousand casualties?"
Duan Lingtian frowned.
Although I expected that Gu Xuan's plan would not work, I didn't expect it to be so 'tricky'...
He knows it in his heart.
Even if this Gu Xuan survives today, I'm afraid he will be infamy for thousands of years.
Not to mention inheriting the position of ‘Prime Minister’!
Xiao Yu and Xiao Xun were also stunned.
Before, they only knew that tens of thousands of soldiers died on the side of Chixiao Kingdom, but they did not know the specific losses of the other side.
Now that I heard about the other party's losses, I was speechless for a moment.
"Tens of thousands of people died in exchange for less than a thousand lives of the other party?"
Xiao Yu and Xiao Xun looked at each other and could see anger in each other's eyes.
"This Gu Xuan, it is not a pity to die!"
Xiao Xun's face darkened.
More than 10,000 strong men were tricked to death by 'Gu Xuan'!
It’s simply ‘people and gods are outraged’!
Inside the central tent.
Gu Xuan's face turned pale and he sat down on the ground. His feet were weak and he couldn't stand up for a long time.
He could realize the anger of the group of border army soldiers outside, and he had no doubt that if he ran out at this time, he would definitely be torn into pieces!
"I want to leave here, I want to leave here..."
Suddenly, Gu Xuan's eyes lit up, as if he had grasped the last straw.
"Brother Gu Xuan...you, go out and apologize."
The two people who had been following Gu Xuan hesitated for a while and then spoke slowly.
"Apologize?"
Gu Xuan's face darkened, his eyes slightly cold, "It's impossible for me to apologize!"
Outside, no matter how He Wei'an tried to persuade them, a group of soldiers just refused to retreat.
"If Gu Xuan doesn't die, we can't afford to kneel down!"
"Yes! If Gu Xuan doesn't die, we can't afford to kneel down!"
…
A group of soldiers spoke decisively.
In the end, He Weian really didn't know how to persuade him, so he could only look at Nie Fen aside for help, wanting to see what Nie Fen could do.
Nie Fen nodded to He Wei'an and stood up.
"Brothers, I am 'Nie Fen', the commander of the Red Dragon Army!"
Nie Fen looked at the nearly 90,000 soldiers of the border army with a sad look on his face, "For the tens of thousands of brothers who died in the war, I, General He, am as sad as you are! But the dead are gone, so why are you making trouble here?
Where is the general?"
"I promise you, as long as you all stand up and go back now, we will expel Gu Xuan from Shaoxing City and let him go back to the Imperial City! Also, in three days at most, we will send troops again to fight for the tens of thousands of people who died.
Brotherly revenge!"
Nie Fen's voice was clanging.
Seeing that a group of border army soldiers seemed indifferent, Nie Fen continued: "I know that you have doubts about my promise... but you all saw what happened yesterday. Do you know why I was able to make it in time yesterday?
If you notice that the situation has changed, why don't you lead the tens of thousands of brothers in the Red Dragon Army to cover your evacuation?"
Nie Fen's words made the border army soldiers present suddenly light up and look at Nie Fen.
Nie Fen continued: "Actually, this is not because I have foresight, but because a student from Shengwu Academy's Xiang Xingxing reminded me before I went on the expedition... If you notice a certain situation, you must evacuate resolutely!"
"General Nie, aren't all the students from the Shengwu Academy's Xiang Xingxing involved in the planning of this 'war strategy'? Since he knew there were flaws in advance, why didn't he tell them in time to avoid this disaster?"
A military advisor standing behind He Weian frowned, a little angry.
"He was not in the camp at the time and did not participate in the planning."
Nie Fen looked at the military advisor with calm eyes.
"Could it be?"
He Wei'an seemed to have remembered something and his pupils shrank.
He still couldn't believe it.
If that's the case, he must be blamed!
Duan Lingtian was standing in the distance when he suddenly heard Nie Fen's words and found that Nie Fen was looking at him...
He knew that Nie Fen must be planning to 'sell' him!
Duan Lingtian shook his head, walked over with Xiao Yu and Xiao Xun who looked confused, and stood beside Nie Fen.
"It's you!"
The expressions of the two military advisors behind He Weian changed and they looked incredulous.
Could it be that the 'Xianxing Xing' students that Commander Nie reminded him of were these three first-year students? Were they the first-year students who were despised by them and expelled?
Their faces became a little ugly.
"The person next to me is the peerless genius 'Duan Lingtian' who has been making a lot of noise in the Chixiao Kingdom recently! Others only know that Brother Lingtian is extremely talented in martial arts, but they don't know that he also has extremely brilliant and unique insights into war strategies! I
Before the expedition, it was he who told me to beware of two situations. If one of them occurs, I must evacuate as soon as possible..."
"In those two situations, I thought he was exaggerating at first. It wasn't until one of them actually happened that I realized that his original judgment was wrong! So, I made a prompt decision and led the soldiers of the Red Dragon Army to cover your evacuation...
Otherwise, you will not only lose tens of thousands of brothers, but you may even lose 30,000, 40,000, or even 50,000!"
Nie Fen's voice was high and contagious.
"General Nie Fen, you saved us, we are all grateful to you! However, there is one thing you said that I don't understand. Since this little brother is also a student of the 'Xianxing Galaxy', since he has seen the flaws in the strategy formulated by Gu Xuan
, why do we still have to attack according to Zhao Xuan's strategy?"
A border army ‘Captain of Ten Thousands’ kneeling at the front asked the thoughts of most people present.
Duan Lingtian raised his eyebrows and stood up, "I can tell you this!"
For a moment, everyone's eyes fell on Duan Lingtian.
Duan Lingtian's tone was calm, as if he was recounting something that had nothing to do with him, "On that day, the two people behind me and I were also involved in the strategic planning against 'Nanman City'... However, later Gu Xuan said,
We will only be in the way and useless! Without us, he is still sure to break through Nanman City."
"At that time, your General He was also confused by Gu Xuan's words. He felt that we were young and that we were just first-year students of Shengwu Academy's Xiang Xingxing, so he expelled us! Later, although I saw
There was a flaw in Gu Xuan's strategy, but that flaw would be hard to convince without actual combat... Moreover, given our 'status' at the time, even if we said it, no one would believe it."
Duan Lingtian said slowly.
"I can testify to this!"
Nie Fen added: "At that time, even I didn't quite believe in the so-called 'flaws' mentioned by brother Ling Tian. Otherwise, I would never let the tens of thousands of brothers in my Red Dragon Army take risks!"
Duan Lingtian's words caused a group of border army soldiers to build up a huge amount of anger in their hearts.
Nie Fen's words were like a fuse, igniting their anger and causing them to completely explode!
"It's that Gu Xuan again!"
"I have no ability, yet I am jealous of my talents and exclude this wise and brave brother Ling Tian!"
…
For a moment, a group of soldiers from the border army expressed their sorrow and anger again.
Plop!
Suddenly, the scene fell into dead silence, except for the sudden sound of kneeling on the ground.
But He Weian's face turned red and he knelt in front of a group of soldiers, "Brothers, I didn't think well about this matter... It's all my fault, He Weian!"
"General He, why are you doing this? You are also being provoked... After all, no normal person would be convinced by our age and experience."
Duan Lingtian smiled faintly and his voice spread.
"Yes, Brother Lingtian is right, this matter has nothing to do with the general!"
"It has nothing to do with the General!"
…
A group of soldiers shouted loudly.
He Weian saw Duan Lingtian speaking for him, with a trace of gratitude in his eyes and a look of guilt on his face.
"Duan Lingtian!"
Inside the camp, Gu Xuan gritted his teeth with a look of hatred on his face.
When Duan Lingtian said this, didn't he put all the responsibility on him?
Although, he had to admit that it was indeed his responsibility.
Soon, another sentence from Duan Lingtian came from outside, which made Gu Xuan's eyes light up:
"Everyone, I understand that you want to kill Gu Xuan. But I still hope that you can calm down and think about it, General. After all, Gu Xuan is the son of the Prime Minister and has a distinguished status... If he died in Shaoxing City, you
Maybe it’s okay, but General He will definitely be affected!”
