Chapter 732 The Han generals who bless the strength of the army
The moonlight is bright and bright, illuminating everything in the wild fields, deep forests and distant mountains.
The sound of fighting has never stopped since the moon was at the top of the sky. The organized Han army guards came in and out three times, completely killing the resistance of the rebels. The rebels who were not single-minded finally dispersed.
Xie Yun was wrapped up by a group of Xie family confidants from Xie Tang, and left the rear camp and retreated to the back.
Seeing the camp covered in flames and the soldiers shouting and screaming in the fire, Xie Yun felt as sad as blood dripping from his heart.
This is all the hard work of the Xie family. It took decades and countless financial resources to cultivate these elites.
Just like that, it was lost all at once.
"Let's go, General Xie Yun. Keep the green hills and don't worry about running out of firewood. As long as you live, our Xie family will have hope, and our Tang country will have hope."
"What hope is there!"
Xie Yun said almost at the top of his lungs. After decades of hard work, what hope can there be?
It's a pity that after all the hard work, Su Lu was finally driven to the point where he was mentally exhausted, physically damaged, and about to die, but because of his carelessness, he ruined a good situation.
The group of people fled all night, panicking and walking for an unknown amount of time. At dawn, they finally found a place to rest.
The troops stopped to rest because all their food, grass and baggage were lost. As soon as Xie Zhen and Xie Tang gathered together, they ordered their sergeants to kill the horses and cook them for meat.
Xie Yun didn't say anything and found a stone to sit on. She was so heartbroken by this blow.
Wen Jing's robe was torn in tatters and full of holes and black ash. He sat down next to Xie Yun and said comfortingly:
"General Xie, please don't be too sad. Victory and defeat are common matters in military affairs. As long as you are alive, you will have a chance to make a comeback."
"If we are defeated this time, we will return to Qi. I wonder where the general wants to go?"
Xie Yun glanced at Wen Jing and said helplessly:
"Go home and accept your punishment. In this battle, we lost our troops and our generals. The warriors that our family spent more than ten years raising were all lost here. If the great cause of destroying the Han Dynasty could not be fully accomplished because of the loss of these warriors, I, Xie Yun, would be guilty of the greatest sin."
Yan."
Zhao Shuo came over and said impassionedly:
"How can we blame the general alone for this matter? We are all to blame. We did not think of guarding against a sneak attack by the Han army, which led to this defeat. I would like to return with the general and bear witness to the old talker of your family. The general is not responsible for this.
"
Xie Yun smiled and said helplessly:
"General, you are determined. There is no need to be like this. This defeat is a huge crime. I am willing to accept the punishment from my clan when I go back. The great cause of the restoration of the Tang Dynasty has been damaged because of me. I will die without mercy."
Zhao Shuo patted his chest and said:
"No, you all are responsible for these things. How can you let the general take the blame alone? I, Zhao Shuo, will never agree."
"Master Wen, how about you and I go to Tang State to bear witness to General Xie Yun, and then return to Qi State?"
Wen Jing smiled and said:
"Why not? We were originally going back to Tuojiang River and detoured to Tang Dynasty. The route we took was only a dozen miles away. It doesn't matter."
Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, Xiao Zhan had no choice but to say:
"Zhan can also be a witness."
Wei Huzi pinched his gray beard and said with a smile:
"I know the rules of your Xie family, but this time, Xie Tang and Xie Zhen did very well. The reason why they failed was because their opponents were too strong. I, Wei Huzi, am also willing to accompany you all."
Everyone nodded, willing to accompany Xie Yun on the journey.
Xie Yun burst into tears for a moment, what a beautiful gown.
People say that Zhao Shuo is greedy, but now it seems that he is also a man with a warm heart. The rumors are not trustworthy.
Mr. Wen Jing has always had a good reputation, and now it seems that he is indeed a good person.
Although General Wei was the last to speak, he was still willing to accompany him back to his family. They were all good men.
Xie Yun pointed forward and said with a tone full of unwillingness to admit defeat:
"Not far ahead is the camp of our remaining sergeants. We gathered the sergeants there and rushed back to my home. With these three thousand sergeants, the Han army will not be able to do anything to us."
After everyone had finished their horse meat and drank water, they got on their horses and rushed to the military camp in the distance.
Before noon, I finally arrived at the camp and met with the generals and lieutenants in the camp.
Everyone agreed that they should break up camp immediately and disperse to the Tang Dynasty.
After being dispersed, Wen Jing and Zhao Shuo returned to their camp and ordered their followers to pack their bags and prepare to return home.
Seeing that there was no one in the camp, Wen Jing asked Zhao Shuo:
"Why not dissuade them from going back? There are still three thousand rebels here, and there are also many elite members of the Xie family. If we fight a battle, we may not necessarily lose."
Zhao Shuo chuckled:
"We only say the most appropriate words at the most appropriate time, otherwise if Xie Yunwei's beard sees something is wrong, we will be doomed."
"I will follow Xie Yun to Tang Dynasty this time. If I can dig out the roots of the Xie family in Tang Dynasty, I believe that the prince will not be stingy with a title."
Wen Jing shook his head:
"It's a thousand miles away from Tang Dynasty. If something goes wrong in the middle, the credit will be lost. I think that taking these three thousand people and Xie Yun Xietang's heads is the most suitable way to get in.
level.”
While the two were arguing, there suddenly started to be noisy outside.
The confidants rushed into the camp and shouted:
"My lords, something bad has happened. The Han army has entered."
The Han army came in.
The two looked at each other, Zhao Shuo grabbed his sword and left, preparing to meet Xie Yun. He wanted to touch the Xie family's clan land, and Xie Yun was the best guiding stone.
Wen Jing looked at Zhao Shuo's back. After a few glances, he also picked up his sword and followed him.
Inside the camp, there was already a sea of cavalry.
Although there were only six hundred imperial guards, they were galloping, slashing and charging as if there were tens of millions of cavalry charging into the camp.
There were cavalry everywhere, and if they weren't careful, the two of them were almost killed by the cavalry.
After exhausting their efforts, the two of them finally arrived outside Xie Yun's tent with many wounds from cuts and arrows.
The infantry of the brigade formed a formation and defended it. They formed a vehicle formation with the vehicles inside and outside the camp. Food, grass and flags were stacked on the vehicle formation, and arrows were inserted in random directions.
Xie Yun was waving his sword and commanding. When he saw Zhao Shuo and Wen Jing, he hurriedly stopped the sergeant, pulled up the formation, and let them in.
"We have been attacked by the Han army. I'm afraid we won't be able to escape this time."
Xie Yun said with a gloomy face, and his tone was full of desolation. He had been against the Han Kingdom for many years, and faced such a fatal situation for the first time. Xie Yun was a little discouraged.
Wen Jing said comfortingly:
"General, there is no need to worry. The Han troops are small and cannot break our vehicle formation. As long as we hold on until dark, we can escape."
Zhao Shuo also said:
"Victory and defeat are common matters for military officers. I, Zhao Shuo, have been defeated at the hands of the Han army many times. I am not doing well now. General Xie, don't be discouraged."
Xie Tang snorted beside him and said:
"The Han general leading the army is none other than a trusted general beside Su Lu. He rushes to the battlefield and is a first-rate warrior. None of us can be his opponent."
Wen Jing asked doubtfully:
"There are many first-rate generals. What is so special about this man?"
Wei Huzhu snorted coldly:
"It is said that among the Han generals, there is a strong military formation. According to some sergeants, the soldiers led by this Han general have a strong military formation and are the strongest among the generals."
Zhao Shuo's eyes lit up next to him. After saying this, he didn't need the title, as long as he could hold the prince's thigh, and the power of the military formation would be enough.
