Chapter 821: Names and Shadows
Regarding his son's impolite behavior, as a father, Agadorji did not think it was wrong at all, but nodded approvingly, "My son is right, now that we have broken the mercenaries, the scouts have also sent news that the number of mercenaries in the city is less than 10,000, and this is the best time for us to pursue the victory." Hehe, there is a lot of grain and grass in the city and 70,000 people, which is all wealth. ”
When it comes to the back, Agadorji already has a greedy look, which is exactly the same as Hara Ruochu behind him, worthy of being father and son.
"Hmm." Sud Khan also nodded his head after hearing this, and he also felt the same way. In his mind, if he could severely damage more than 10,000 mercenaries before, then now there are 10,000 wounded people in the city.
Two of the three members of the union nodded, and it was said that the rules for the matter were set. But for some reason, Fan Yuhai didn't speak, and the two of them didn't rush to raise the account and summon the general to give an order.
Because Fan Yuhai didn't say a word in the big tent, the atmosphere slowly became quiet. In the battle of the capital city, this person has proved his ability with practical actions, and at this moment everyone looks at him respectfully, waiting for his final decision.
Among the crowds, only Hara Ruo showed impatience. In his opinion, Fan Yuhai is nothing remarkable, but he was just lucky and defeated the mercenary once, which does not prove that he is the most powerful, but he didn't even say anything from his father, of course he is not good to stand up and accuse.
As time passed, seeing that Fan Yuhai was still pondering, Su De Khan was also a little breathless, and asked, "General Fan, is there anything wrong?" ”
"Yes, there's something wrong." Fan Yuhai finally raised his head, and his face looked very solemn.
"What's wrong?" Agadorji was quick to speak, leaned forward, and his face was impatient, as if he had not told him why, he would not have taken a break.
"Report." At this moment, the voice of the scout general was suddenly heard outside the big tent, and then a man dressed in typical Mongolian clothing entered the tent, knelt on the ground, looked up and said to Sude: "Khan, the scout has found an army in the southeast, the number of which is about two thousand. ”
"The army? Can you find out who it is? Su De's originally confident smile changed in an instant, could it be that which nearby tribe saw the opportunity and wanted to come out and get a piece of the pie?
didn't let Su De wait too long, and the scout general who was kneeling on the ground had already raised his head and said: "Report to the Khan, it's too far away to see clearly, but looking at the flag raised by the other party, it should be... It should be the military flag of the god of war. ”
"What?" At this moment, not only Su De shouted in surprise, but even Agadorji, who was sitting on the left, was also shocked.
Ancient armies marched and fought, each with its own flag, just like mercenaries, most of them were five-star flags, but it seemed to be a place where Yang Chendong haunted, unless he wanted to hide his identity, otherwise he would even hang out the word God of War to show his military might.
Even if the scout said that the other party was playing the banner of the god of war, needless to say, it should be Yang Chendong who appeared. The so-called name of the person, the shadow of the tree, as soon as he heard Yang Chendong's name, the three people who were also defeated under his command changed their faces, which was a normal thing.
The reason why they dared to set a trap in the capital city before was because they knew that Yang Chendong went to Beiming Jingshi and was not in the first city, otherwise, it was unknown whether they would dare to fight with the mercenaries so blatantly.
Su De and Agadorji stopped talking, and Fan Yuhai, who was sitting on the right, also did not speak at the moment. They all need time to digest the news they just got.
The scouts on the grassland are fast, good at equestrianism, and very vigilant, but they have a fatal weakness, that is, they can only be powerful in their own territory, and they are not so strong that they can stretch their tentacles to other places, to the Northern Ming Jingshi. Regarding when Yang Chendong will come back, they don't have any basis, everything is just speculation. But at such a critical time, the other party appeared and still caught them off guard.
I don't know how long it took, Su De, who was sitting in the first place, finally couldn't help but speak, "Let's talk about it, what should we do next?" To fight or not to fight? ”
"Why don't you fight?" Hara Ruo didn't wait for others to make a statement, and was the first to speak. He was captured by Yang Chendong at the beginning, and he regarded it as a great shame in this life, that is, he dreamed about how to win back this game. Now that they have finally grasped the advantage, if they retreat just because they heard a name, wouldn't it prove that they are afraid of this Ming loyal and courageous man, and they don't even have the courage to fight, so how can they talk about revenge?
"Shut up." Unlike before, allowing his son to interject and mess around, Agadorji finally scolded loudly, and then closed his mouth tightly. At the beginning, the 50,000 army was defeated by Yang Chendong, which was indeed a shadow in his heart, a shadow that could not be erased and even made him afraid when he thought about it.
Agadorji's performance was seen in Sud's eyes, and he was very disappointed. Before, he was so afraid of the sky and the earth, and he looked like he was going to attack the first city. It's good now, just a name is scared like this, such an ally wants to achieve great things, he can only hehe.
Don't have any hope for Agadorji, Su De can only look at Fan Yuhai, this son is calm and calm, and the decisions he makes are still very important.
Fan Yuhai was indeed contemplating at this moment. For Yang Chendong, he knows no less than Su De and others, and even more. Therefore, he couldn't be clearer about what kind of ability this person has. To be honest, he is really not ready to fight with Yang Chendong now, because he does not have the slightest certainty of winning.
Looking at Sud, it was still Agadorji, although he also had heavy troops in his hands, and they were all cavalry. But when facing Yang Chendong, can he really exert his due combat power? He didn't think it was possible, but it would be very difficult to have the courage to rush forward and not escape.
The eldest husband can bend and stretch, even if he knows that he can't fight, then he won't fight. Anyway, the competition has just begun, and if you want to fight, there will be many opportunities in the future. "Withdraw, the advantage of the cavalry is to rush and kill on the battlefield, not to attack the city and seize the land, this time the other party is prepared, it is difficult for us to get any benefits, even so, it is better to wait for the other party to attack us, in that case, under the mobile combat, the power of the musket in their hands will be reduced to the minimum, that is the most beneficial to us."
After some consideration, Fan Yuhai finally made a decision. As soon as he said this, he could even hear the relieved voices of Sud and Agadorji. "Okay, even if that's the case, I agree to withdraw."
As soon as Agadorji finished speaking, Su De nodded, "In that case, we will retreat to the capital city first, and we will be looking for fighters." ”
Originally, the Mongolian coalition army, which was still eyeing Shicheng, and at least destroying the greenhouse base first, retreated, and when Yang Chendong arrived here with Xiao Feng's Leng Feng regiment, he saw the scene of the other party retreating.
"Sixth Young Master, should we rush up and kill." Ma Xiongshan, the accompanying cavalry battalion commander, asked with a murderous look in his eyes.
"No need." Yang Chendong shook his head, Xiao Feng's Leng Feng Regiment had just come into contact with the war horse, and the equestrian training still needed to be strengthened, at this time, he gave up the advantage of the musket and rushed forward, even if he fought, he would not have much chance of winning, once he pressed the other party, he might be bitten back, which was not what he wanted to see. Now it is only right to stabilize the situation in Shicheng and restore the combat strength of the soldiers, and as for the enemy in front of them, let them be proud for two days first.
The enemy withdrew, Yang Chendong had no intention of chasing, and returned to Shicheng with the somewhat "disappointed" Xiao Feng regiment and Ma Xiongshan battalion. At the gate of the city, in the cold weather, Hu Mang was kneeling shirtless, with a few dry branches tied to his back. Behind him, there were also regimental and battalion-level officers kneeling together, among which Su He, Chasing Feng and others were also in the crowd.
"Huh." Looking at this scene, Yang Chendong couldn't help laughing, and even played with himself to take the blame, which made him suddenly feel like he couldn't cry or laugh.
Yang Chendong, who was riding on the white dragon horse, actually laughed, this scene was seen by some officers, and they suddenly didn't know what to do. After such a defeat, shouldn't the sixth young master be angry, or even very angry? What does this laugh mean?
No one can see through Yang Chendong's meaning and thoughts, all everyone can do is to lower their heads, just hope that the sixth young master will not notice himself at this meeting. After all, losing a battle is not a glorious thing, and if it is written down at this time, it will not be boring to find yourself.
Everyone knelt on the ground, without saying a word, until Yang Chendong walked to the city with the army, looking at the kneeling people, he finally spoke: "What? Is that how you welcome me? ”
In the face of Yang Chendong's questioning, everyone didn't dare to speak up, especially Hu Mang, who had the highest military rank, was the first to raise his head, and then said with a painful face: "Young Master, we did something wrong, you punish me." ”
"Okay, okay, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, after all, the city has not been lost, everyone get up." The corners of Yang Chendong's mouth were smiling, and he couldn't see a trace of anger. This extremely abnormal scene made many officers who were originally hanging their hearts let go a lot. That's it, this time it's a lost battle, but everyone has worked very hard, and the enemy is only to blame for being too cunning.
