At night, a scout covered in blood rode into Wujiang City.
"What?! Tens of thousands of troops? The Tatars are fighting back again?"
Before the scout could say a few words, Wei Qinghong, still looking drunk, jumped up.
Soon, several other generals hurried to the Commander's Mansion. They heard that the Tatar army was actually pretending to surrender and secretly attacked Wanlayer Gorge at night. At that time, everyone's expressions were extremely ugly.
"These sons of bitches have no credibility!"
"That is, don't you all sign a covenant not to invade the Longxia border again this year?"
"Treacherous thing!"
As for Zhang Yufeng, as if he had lost his soul, he walked up to the scouts and asked angrily: "Where is our Shuofang army? Why...didn't they withdraw together?"
The scout looked mournful, with a hint of anger in his tone: "Twenty thousand people have all been killed by the Tatars! How can we withdraw?!"
Everyone thought that with the 20,000 Shoufang army, at least they were still entangled with the Tatar army on the front line at this time, but when they heard that the entire army was wiped out, the remaining generals of the two armies took a breath.
In addition to the shock and fear on his expression, there was also a hint of happiness. Fortunately, the supervisor did not recommend his troops to the front line that day.
Otherwise, they would be the polished commanders now.
Shuofang's army was completely destroyed on the front line, but the commander-in-chief of Shuofang's army stood in the center of the commander's mansion, which was particularly eye-catching.
Zhang Yufeng immediately sat down on the ground, his eyes dull for a long time and he did not regain consciousness.
"No...impossible. Shuofang's army is good at fighting. Now that they have acquired those good knives, how is it possible..."
Before he could finish speaking, Huo Quxie, who had always had a sullen face, stepped forward and kicked him fiercely, regardless of his injury.
"Damn it! I told you not to give alcohol to the frontline defenders. If the 20,000 Shoufang troops had not been drunk, how could they have been killed by the Tatars so easily? Your life was saved, you loser.
Twenty thousand soldiers are dead!"
"No...no, isn't Chen Mu still stationed on Mount Heng? He is so powerful, he should be rescued, right?"
"None of your business!"
It's okay not to say it. As soon as these words came out, Huo Quxie became more angry, frowned, pressed Zhang Yufeng's neck with one hand, and started to greet his face.
"I told you to leave your post without permission!"
"I asked you to deliver wine to the frontline sergeants!"
"Nearly 20,000 lives!"
Until Zhang Yufeng's face was covered with blood, Huo Quxie didn't even stop for a moment. He had been the commander-in-chief of the Shuofang Army for a long time, and his affection for this army was far better than that of the Shu Army.
At this moment, he really wanted to kill Zhang Yufeng directly.
But soon, he was pulled away by the remaining two generals.
When the scene calmed down, Wei Qinghong, who was on top of the throne, waved his hand: "That's enough. If according to military regulations, the general leaves his post without authorization and the whole army is destroyed, I should chop off your boy's head tonight and pay tribute to him."
The souls of thousands of soldiers."
Zhang Yufeng just stood up. When he heard this, he was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground again. Then he didn't bother to care about his face anymore. He knelt on the ground and began to beg for mercy.
"But you are a general sent by His Majesty the Emperor himself. I have no right to decide your life or death. Pack your things and go back to the capital. I will go to His Majesty to read a copy of your book. People like you can just stay peacefully as a dandy for the rest of their lives.
Well, the politics of the DPRK and China and the military affairs on the battlefield are not worthy of a second son like you to get involved."
"Okay, okay... I'll go back to Chang'an right now..."
At this moment, Zhang Yufeng was trembling with fear. He still had the original ambition in his heart, and fantasized about becoming a marquis or a nobleman? He just wanted to return to Chang'an as soon as possible. The Monan area was too terrible, and he was afraid that he would never enter the front line again in this life.
.
Following another fierce kick from Huo Quxie, Zhang Yufeng crawled to his room to pack his things. He didn't want to stay in this place for a moment anymore.
"Now that Wanlayer Gorge has been breached, tens of thousands of Tatar troops may attack Wujiang City tomorrow morning. This is the last line of defense north of the Yellow River. Please share your opinions."
Now the most capable Shuofang army has been completely wiped out, and the fate of the Shu army is unknown.
The Jizhou Army merged with the Prefecture Army, and the commanders of the two armies were actually similar to Zhang Yufeng. They were both sons of aristocratic families who wanted to go to the front line to gain military exploits. Now when the Tatars actually came, they were already too frightened to say anything.
They did not think that with equal strength, they could defeat the Tatars, who had always been brave and good at fighting.
"Since we're defeated...if we don't retreat, then we'll have to retreat."
Just as the Jizhou military leader was about to speak, Huo Quxie picked up a teapot and threw it at his head.
The force was so strong that in an instant the teapot turned into pieces and scattered on the spot. The general's head was also struck, and blood instantly dripped from his forehead.
I wanted to get angry, but when I saw Huo Quxie's murderous eyes and cursed inwardly, I immediately withered away.
As for the other general, he also thought about withdrawing to the south of the Yellow River, but when he saw the miserable condition of his colleagues, he suppressed his words.
"Retreat? Did you know that once the Tatars invade Wujiang City, Bingzhou Jizhou, and some people in Shuofang Sili, they will be burned, killed, and looted by the Tatars? The purpose of joining the army is to protect the people of Li.
For a moment, I, Huo Quxie, will never retreat!"
Wei Qinghong, who was in the main seat, still had a sad expression on his face, but he couldn't help but feel a little relieved when he saw Huo Quxie's spirit of caring about the righteousness of his family and country.
"Then do you have any strategies to defend yourself against the enemy?"
Huo Quxie sneered, and then looked at He Guan, who had been silent for a long time: "Jian Jun, when I discuss strategies with my uncle, don't you always like to interrupt and give advice? I would like to ask you, but there is something else.
Countermeasures?"
In addition to the daily small and medium-sized battles, He Guan would indeed undermine Wei Qinghong's uncle and nephew's strategy, resulting in huge defeats every time, making them, the main combatants, unable to win battles and not being valued by His Majesty.
But in this crucial battle at the moment, he did not dare to do anything. Knowing that after the defeat, the people north of the Yellow River were invaded and ravaged by the Tatars, and all the blame would be placed on him.
He cannot bear such a big responsibility.
He glared at Huo Quxie with a sinister expression, then bowed his head and stopped talking.
"Okay, since you don't have it, I do."
Then he looked at the two generals and said coldly: "You two, hand over all the troops in your hands to me for mobilization."
"what's on your mind……"
"I am the general of Jizhou, how can I hand over military power to you?"
"Well, tomorrow morning the Tatars will march to the city. Then you and I will lead the army to defend against the enemy. If you dare to huddle inside the city, you will be punished as a crime of cowardice in battle!"
"you……"
The two of them were angry, but how could Huo Quxie be afraid of them? In terms of beating, even if he was injured, he could beat the shit out of them.
In terms of background, he is the nephew of Sima, the second generation of the top officials in the court. Except for the royal family, he never asks about the identity of the person he wants to beat.
In the end, the two handed over the 50,000 people in their hands.
At that moment, Lin Qiye took the transfer order and walked towards the military camp.
"The officers and soldiers of the Second Army of Hebei Province have listened to the order and ordered you to quickly go to Wujiang City, demolish the houses, and move them to the top of the city as long as they can be used to hit people!"
Under Huo Quxie's command, 50,000 sergeants soon headed for the city.
This was also part of the content of the letter Chen Mu sent him - stick to the city and wait for things to happen.
In the handsome manor before, he seemed confident, but in fact now he is also extremely confused.
Chen Mu told him to stick to the city and wait for things to happen, but now that tens of thousands of Tatar generals are approaching the city, is there any chance of a change?
But Chen Mu had created miracles before. Even though Huo Quxie was extremely confused and helpless now, there was a voice in his heart telling him to just believe unconditionally.
