"General Yuan Rang, retreat with me quickly!" Peng Haochu grabbed Shangguan Yuan Rang's arm and pulled him to retreat.
Shangguan Yuanrang stood still, looked back at the enemy phalanx, gritted his teeth and said: "How can I retreat without beheading the enemy commander?" As he spoke, he flicked his arm, shocking Peng Haochu.
He opened it, dragging the three-pointed two-edged sword, and wanted to continue rushing towards the enemy's formation to continue fighting.
Peng Haochu sighed and said urgently: "General Yuan Rang can't do it. Now there are many enemy troops and they have set up battle formations. If our army is outnumbered, we will not be able to win!"
Shangguan Yuanrang shouted angrily: "With me here, what are you afraid of?"
Peng Haochu was also anxious at this time. He grabbed Shangguan Yuanrang's arm again, pointed behind him with his other hand, and asked: "Is it not enough that General Yuanrang's insistence on killing three thousand brothers does he want to kill more brothers?"
?”
This sentence made Shangguan Yuanrang's heart tremble and his mind clear. He looked in the direction of Peng Haochu's finger. Now the Central Army had retreated to the vicinity of the Central Army's tent, leaving corpses all over the ground. Most of them were
Among the Tianyuan Army officers and soldiers, none of the three thousand soldiers led by Shangguan Yuanrang were spared. They were all killed in the melee just now.
After looking at it, Shangguan Yuanrang was stunned, and secretly took a breath of cold air. Seeing this, Peng Haochu pulled him back and said at the same time: "Don't delay any more, wait for the enemy to react, we want to withdraw the capital
We can't evacuate!" While pulling Shangguan Yuanrang back, he ordered the entire army to withdraw from the enemy camp immediately and return to Guannan County.
It was easy for them to come in, but now it's not that simple to retreat. The Central Army's phalanx followed closely behind the Tianyuan Army, pursuing them step by step. At the same time, eagle feathers kept flying out of the phalanx, and fell on them.
From time to time, screams could be heard from the Tianyuan Army camp.
The retreat that was chased and beaten by the enemy was the worst retreat. The Tianyuan Army had to throw corpses all the way before reluctantly exiting the camp. At this time, Shangguan Yuanrang saw that the enemy was unwilling to give up, and looked like they were going to chase their own troops into the pass.
Nanjun, he gritted his teeth and said to Peng Haochu: "General Peng, you lead the others and leave first, I will stay behind!"
After saying that, regardless of whether Peng Haochu agreed or not, he immediately turned around and ran straight to the rear of his own camp. After passing the soldiers of the Tianyuan Army, Shangguan Yuanrang stood alone in the road and shouted loudly towards the phalanx of the Central Army.
: "If you want to enter Guannan County, you must pass through me first!"
The Central Army was deeply afraid of Shangguan Yuanrang. When they saw Shangguan Yuanrang coming out to block the road again, the march of the phalanx immediately stopped. As if facing a formidable enemy, everyone felt their hearts in their throats. There was no answer.
Upon receiving Zhong Wen's order, the commanders of each regiment dared to suspend the pursuit privately. The generals shouted loudly: "Go forward, keep going! Let the rear army shoot arrows!"
Under the orders of the corps leaders, the central military formation slowly moved forward, and at the same time, the arrows were fired more quickly. Shangguan Yuanrang stood there and let the opponent shoot. He took a deep breath and blocked with his sword.
With arrows in hand, he rushed forward with all his strength to meet the enemy. Soon, the two sides came into contact again.
Shangguan Yuanrang was not polite, he used his Spiritual Slash to return, opened a flesh and blood passage for himself with his sharp spiritual waves, and then rushed into the enemy camp with his sword.
He fought with the enemy again until they reached a certain point. How could Peng Haochu leave him alone and retreat first? In desperation, he had no choice but to lead his troops to withdraw again and meet Shangguan Yuanrang.
As soon as they retreated, the Central Army also retreated and continued to reorganize their formation to prepare for a battle with the Tianyuan Army.
The two sides fought intermittently until they reached the border of Guannan County. At this time, Zhong Wen finally gave up his plan to pursue the enemy and ordered the entire army to return to the camp.
His order made Commander Tianyuan breathe a sigh of relief, and it was also a relief for the Central Army. As long as they no longer had to face the vicious Shangguan Yuanrang, that was better than anything else.
In this battle, the casualties on both sides were not heavy. The Tianyuan Army lost more than 5,000 people, including 3,000 soldiers who followed Shangguan Yuanrang to steal the camp. Zhong Wen also lost more than 5,000 soldiers, but
Almost all of these people died at the hands of Shangguan Yuanrang, the losses on both sides were equal, and the final result was all in vain.
Shangguan Yuanrang wanted to steal the camp and kill Zhong Wen, but he failed. Zhong Wen planned to annihilate all the enemies who came to steal the camp, but the leader Shangguan Yuanrang retreated unscathed. Neither side achieved the planned goal.
.
However, through this battle, the Tianyuan Army can get an important piece of information. Zhong Wen is by no means a coward and a coward, but a handsome man who is good at strategy and proficient in military tactics. Regarding this point, Lian and Zhong Tian are in the same court.
Liang Xing, Wu Yu and Ziyang Haochun, who had been officials for so many years, were unaware of this.
Instead of ambushing Zhong Wen and his men, they chose to steal the camp, resulting in the loss of more than 5,000 soldiers. Shangguan Yuanrang and Peng Haochu led more than 50,000 soldiers under their command and returned to Sanchi City listlessly.
Now, Tianyuan Army has withdrawn from the camp in the forest and stationed the army outside Sanchi City openly.
After Shangguan Yuanrang and Peng Haochu returned to the main camp of the army, they immediately went to see Tang Yin and gave orders to resume their orders without even changing their clothes.
At this time, Tang Yin had received news about the results of his sneak attack on the enemy camp, and he was discussing countermeasures with Qiu Zhen and others in the big tent.
This battle shows that Zhong Wen is much more difficult to deal with than they expected. What is even more troublesome is that the Central Army is brave and experienced in fighting. Although there are only 150,000 people, it will be difficult to defeat them if they occupy the camp. Now
While everyone was making suggestions to Tang Yin, Shangguan Yuanrang and Peng Haochu approached from outside.
Although the battle was fierce, Shangguan Yuanrang's clothes and armor were still clean due to the spiritual armor protecting his body. However, at this time, he no longer had the same vigor as when he went into battle. First, too much spiritual energy was consumed in the battle and his physical strength was empty. Second, the results of the battle were too great.
It was not ideal. It was clear that the whole army could retreat, but the lives of more than 5,000 brothers were in vain, and the bodies of some of the fallen brothers were not brought back.
"Sir, my subordinates are here to give orders!" The two of them knelt on one knee and stepped in to salute.
Tang Yin stood there, his eyes scanning the two of them. It was difficult to tell what he was thinking from his unchanged smile.
After looking at the two people for a while, Tang Yin suddenly asked: "How?"
Shangguan Yuanrang and Peng Haochu looked at each other inexplicably, not understanding the meaning of Tang Yin's sudden words.
"Oh, sir..."
"Let me ask you two, what are the consequences of acting hastily?"
Tang Yin's face darkened, but the naturally raised corners of his mouth still looked like he was smiling. He said coldly: "I patted my head and came up with an idea. I thought it was a good idea, but I didn't know that my bullshit idea could kill those around me."
How many brothers? Five thousand soldiers died in the enemy camp, how can they have the dignity to come back and resume their lives?"
Both bodies were shaken. Shangguan Yuanrang lowered his head, licked his dry lips, and said: "Sir, this battle is all my idea, and any mistakes are all my fault. It has nothing to do with General Peng...
"
Before he could finish his words, Tang Yin strode up to him, pointed at the nose of Shangguan Yuanrang, who was kneeling on one knee, and said angrily: "I'm talking about you! I'm not talking about anyone else!"
Tang Yin has always been calm, and rarely gets angry or angry. Shangguan Yuanrang shrinks his neck when he scolds him, and lowers his head. No matter how close he and Tang Yin are in personal relationships, and how often they can joke around, when it comes to official business, the two of them are just like each other.
There is a master-slave relationship, not to mention that it was indeed his fault this time.
"Since you are the commander-in-chief, you are no longer alone. You have to be responsible for your brothers. When you go to the enemy camp with only 3,000 men, have you ever thought that not all of these 3,000 brothers are Shangguan Yuan?
Jean, how do they save their lives? Have you ever thought about how much loss it will cause to our army if you also die in the enemy camp?"
The more Tang Yin talked, the angrier he became. He couldn't bear to go up to Shangguan Yuanrang and slapped him twice to wake him up.
How lucky you are to have such a brave general as Shangguan Yuanrang under your command. If he died so meaninglessly in the enemy camp, it would be equivalent to breaking an arm of the Tianyuan Army. The loss would be too great.
.
Shangguan Yuanrang couldn't even lift his head after being scolded by Tang Yin, and his face turned red. However, he did not complain in his heart, but felt very warm. From Tang Yin's words, it was not difficult to hear that he valued and cared about him.
After heaving a sigh of relief, Tang Yin looked at Shangguan Yuan Rang who was bowing his head and said nothing, and then asked the generals on his left and right: "According to military law, what should be done to those who do not obey military orders?"
Hearing this, everyone was shocked. If they disobey military orders, they will of course be killed. However, how can a general like Shangguan Yuanrang be killed at will?
Everyone looked at the angry Tang Yin and frowned, but no one answered.
Tang Yin raised his eyebrows, looked around everyone, and asked, "What? You don't know?"
Qiu Zhen smiled bitterly, cleared his throat, and whispered: "Those who disobey military orders will be... killed according to military law!"
Should you kill him? After hearing this, Tang Yin was secretly speechless, muttering to himself: Why is military law so important?! He was reluctant to kill Shangguan Yuanrang. He groaned and said: "Do it according to military law! Someone, drag Shangguan Yuanrang out.
, heavy responsibility for thirty army sticks!"
flutter!
When they heard this, everyone almost choked on their own saliva. Since Shangguan Yuanrang was not going to be severely punished, why did he ask the military law? Just ask people to beat him. The momentum was quite scary, but in the end he was just punished.
Thirty military sticks are really making people dumbfounded. Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and they all shook their heads and laughed silently.
The guards outside the tent obeyed the order and walked into the tent one after another. They looked at Shangguan Yuanrang who was kneeling on the ground. The guards looked embarrassed and whispered: "I'm sorry, General Shangguan!" As they spoke, everyone grabbed Shangguan Yuan.
Jean's arm took him out.
After everyone left, Tang Yin seemed to think of something again. He walked quickly to the door of the tent and said to the guards who had not gone far: "Thirty army sticks are too many, so it's better to hit ten army sticks."
The guards were all stunned. They waited for a moment before they came to their senses, nodded and said, "Yes! Sir!"
Now is the time when the two armies are facing each other, and Tang Yin is also worried that Shangguan Yuanrang will be seriously injured and unable to go to the battlefield.
He has never paid much attention to military law and discipline, so when he wanted to enforce military law and discipline, he treated it as a joke and had no concept that there should be no jokes in the military. This was Tang Yin's long-standing criticism.
