Yan Xing was also stunned after hearing Zhao Yun's words. What was Yuan Shu doing here?
"I can only blame His Majesty for being so brilliant. He briefly appeared in the city. Maybe the enemy saw that he was different, so they desperately sent out cavalry to intercept His Majesty. In the final analysis, I was careless. I didn't expect it.
They really dare to do this."
Zhao Yun was also depressed for a while. In the final analysis, he was careless.
"Haha, if you say so, His Majesty's responsibility is really great. Don't talk about it. As long as His Majesty is fine."
Yan Xing smiled slightly. If the other party really said that, it seems that Yuan Shu has a really big responsibility, and he should be the first to bear the brunt, haha.
"You're right. No matter what, your Majesty is fine at last. It's all worth it. If you don't let your people help clean up the battlefield, if it takes too long, I'm afraid the infantry of the Kushan Army will also come out.
That’s when it gets difficult.”
Yan Xing smiled, and Zhao Yun also smiled slightly, patted the other party's shoulder directly, and motioned for him to quickly ask someone to help clean the battlefield.
"I'm afraid they won't come out. The cavalry in the camp are already killing us in a steady stream. If they really come out to fight with us, then let them never come back."
Yan Xing looked into the distance. If the opponent's infantry dared to leave the city, the Chinese cavalry would definitely make it impossible for them to come back.
The Kushan cavalry rushed to the gate of Gambilas City in great embarrassment. When they saw the soldiers who had gone out returning, the defenders immediately opened the city gate and welcomed everyone in.
"You two, let's go and come with me to see His Majesty."
Looking at the two wilted eggplant-like generals around him, Mifret also sighed. This attack not only failed to capture Yuan Shu, but also lost his troops. Next, he had to face the wrath of Vesutiva I.
"Hey, let's go, what's supposed to come will come."
"What needs to be faced must be faced."
The two of them were also depressed for a while. It wasn't that they didn't work hard this time, but that they really didn't have a chance. After all, this place is only five miles away from the Chinese camp. The road is too close. If they can be given some time, Yuan Shu can definitely come.
No reply.
The three of them ordered the soldiers to return to their respective camps, rest where necessary, and receive treatment where necessary, while they quickly ran towards the palace.
"Your Majesty, General Mifret is back."
At this time, the palace of Vesutiva I was already filled with generals from various ministries, and everyone was waiting for Mifulet to return in triumph.
"Let him in quickly."
Upon hearing Mifulet's return, Vesutiva I also anxiously let him in. He now wanted to know whether the other party could achieve his strategic goals.
"Your Majesty has ordered General Xuanmi Fleet to enter the palace."
Hearing the attendant's call, the three Mifulites looked at each other, and then walked into the hall together with their heads lowered.
"Mifret."
"Chihabna."
"Kambrakzi."
"Meet His Majesty the Emperor."
The three of them entered the hall and knelt on the ground together, saluting each other.
"Get up, look at the looks on your faces, are you going to get off to a bad start?"
Looking at the frustrated faces of the three people, Vesudeva I immediately understood that they must have failed this time.
"Your Majesty, Mifulet was incompetent and allowed the enemy to escape. I hope he will be punished."
"Your Majesty, please punish me."
"Your Majesty, please punish me."
After hearing what Vesudev I said, the three of them directly put their faces to the ground and begged each other to be punished.
"Okay, everyone, get up."
There was no joy or sadness on Vesudev I's face, and there was no hint of loss.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Although Vesudeva I did not criticize them harshly, the three of them still had chills down their spines. As the saying goes, the calmer the sea surface, the more rough the waves may be underneath.
"Since the pursuit of the enemy commander has not been completed, let's discuss the news brought by the Chinese. They said that Lou Baisha was besieged. What do you think of this matter?"
Vesutiva I didn't dwell too much on that. Since it didn't matter that he didn't catch Yuan Shu, his next focus would be on Lou Baisha.
"Your Majesty, I think this may be a Chinese strategy to disrupt our military morale. After all, Loubaisha is the imperial capital. Any disturbance there may affect the entire war situation."
Hearing Vesudev I's question, Raftel stood up directly and expressed his thoughts.
"I think there may be something really wrong with Lou Baisha."
Regarding Raftel's thoughts, Mifulet stood up and expressed his different thoughts.
"How to say?"
Vesudev I glanced at the other party, he wanted to hear what the other party was thinking.
"Your Majesty, the Chinese side now has an absolute advantage, and we can only rely on the defense of Gambilas City to resist the opponent. As for our defense, it seems that it is very tough now, but with the technological level of the Chinese people, it is absolutely not possible.
If you will sit still and wait for death, you will definitely be able to come up with countermeasures.
When that time comes, it will be time for them to launch a decisive battle. It is completely unnecessary to send this false news now.
So I think there must be a problem in Loubaisha now. You know, we took most of the elites with us when we left. Now there are only 20,000 weak soldiers in the city, so the city is definitely in danger."
It can be said that the situation has reached an extremely critical stage now, and they must think carefully. After all, Loubaisha is of great importance, and if something goes wrong there, it may really be the end of the world.
"Your Majesty, what General Miffleit said makes sense. I also think that the Chinese people will not do such useless efforts. After all, paper cannot cover the fire. They are now saying that something happened in Lou Baisha. As long as we send people to investigate, the rumors will come true.
Sometimes it will be self-defeating without attacking, which is useless effort."
Another general stood up. He also agreed with Mifulite's words. Lou Baisha's question paper could not cover up the fire. The Chinese people would not be stupid enough to let out such a lie that could be easily exposed.
"Your Majesty, no matter what the Chinese people have in mind, the current situation is like this. What we have to do now is to block the news. We must not let the news of Lou Baisha being surrounded spread. This will definitely have a huge impact on our morale.
The second step is to immediately send people south to Loubaisha to confirm the news. If there is really a problem there, we will consider dividing our troops for rescue."
Raftel turned his attention to Vesutiva I. What they will do now is to minimize the negative impact of this news, and at the same time confirm the authenticity of the news. If that is the case, Lou Baisha will be in danger, and they will definitely
You can't sit still and wait for death.
"Well, Raftel is right. The soldiers on the city wall who heard the news have already issued a gag order, and they have also been placed in the military camp. They will not be contacted for the time being. They should not disclose it in a short time.
Get out, Chihabna."
Vesudeva I nodded at Raftel, what he said was right, and he had also made preparations for this.
"exist."
When he heard that he was being called, Qihabna stood up directly and saluted to the other party.
"You immediately make arrangements to go south and go to Loubaisha to confirm whether the news from the Chinese is true or false."
"Yes, I will immediately arrange for someone to go south to investigate."
Qihabna nodded and said he would arrange it immediately.
"Okay, now that the discussion has been clearly discussed, you can implement it according to the plan. Before Lou Baisha confirms the news, you must stop the soldiers' mouths for me. Whoever has a problem, I will let him take it.
Life will come back."
Vesudeva I stood up directly and said everything that needed to be said. The next step was to execute it.
"yes."
"yes."
"yes."
The group of people saluted again, then left the hall and went down to arrange the orders of Vesudeva I.
Under Qihabna's arrangement, hundreds of cavalry left Gambilas City directly and headed south toward Loubaisha.
After a change of soldiers on the city wall, the new soldiers were still the same, meticulously carrying out patrol and guard work.
"Your Majesty, General Zhao Yun is back."
As more and more Chinese cavalry came out of the camp, Yuan Shu did not return his account, but waited at the gate of the camp.
"Well, I'm back."
Looking at the smoke and dust in front of him, Yuan Shu also nodded.
"Zilong, look, His Majesty is there."
Yan Xing's sharp eyes saw Yuan Shu and others waiting at the gate of the camp at a glance.
"Let's go see His Majesty."
Zhao Yun nodded, the white horse on his crotch accelerated directly, the wind on his four hooves took him away from the army and ran towards the camp.
"Wait for me."
Seeing Zhao Yun speeding up, Yan Xing was also a little depressed. The opponent's war horses were among the best in the whole of China. Although his own horses were also carefully selected, they were still inferior to the opponent, so he could only follow.
The opponent's butt is covered in dust.
"His Majesty."
Zhao Yun reined in his horse, got off the horse, knelt on one knee and saluted Yuan Shu.
"His Majesty."
Yan Xing was not slow either. He arrived just after Zhao Yun and dismounted from his horse and knelt down on one knee to salute Yuan Shu.
"Okay, let's all get up. How was the fight?
The loss of the troops is not great."
Yuan Shu directly helped the two men up. What he was most worried about now was the loss of troops.
"The enemy has been repulsed and the troops have suffered considerable losses, but in a war, there must be some sacrifices."
Zhao Yun did not reveal the specific injuries. This battle was sudden and extremely tragic. Death is death. It is meaningless to talk about casualties.
"Well, I didn't think well this time. I should bear the main responsibility. This battle could have been avoided. Alas, it was a good idea to appease the soldiers, cremate their bodies, and then send their ashes to China."
Yuan Shu glanced at Zhao Yun, then shook his head, left the camp directly, and returned to his camp. This sudden encounter was entirely because he underestimated the enemy. If he hadn't insisted on going his own way, he would have gone to Gambilas City in person.
, such a result will not occur.
"Your Majesty, what's going on?"
Yan Xing glanced at Yuan Shu's back and couldn't help but feel a little confused.
"Your Majesty, everything is fine. The two generals have worked hard. Take the time to let the soldiers rest. There are still many battles to come."
Tian Feng also patted the shoulders of the two of them, telling them not to think too much, and then left the door and walked towards the military camp.
According to Yuan Shu's instruction, Yuan Shu also selected nearly a thousand soldiers with loud voices, and taught them in Kushan language that Lou Baisha was captured and asked the soldiers to surrender early, and then started the second wave of offensive.
Under the escort of 10,000 cavalry, these soldiers were arranged to the foot of Kushan City, and then began to shout together, don't you want to hide the news?
