Chapter 09: A small fall
Although Song Que lost Dugu Remnant's move, but in this duel that unfolded under the Tiger Prison Pass, he defeated Dugu Remnant in the end.
After all, if the clumsy sword is used, it is really a bit too uncomfortable, not to mention the extremely heavy, Dugu Remnant can't exert any special power of this sword, which is equivalent to wielding an overweight big stick and fighting against the smooth and light Heavenly Sword in Song Que's hands.
This is a very physically demanding thing to do, but it is also very exhausting.
Therefore, the more Dugu Remnant fought, the more he fought, the more passive he became, and in the end, after his skill had been consumed by seventy or eighty percent, he still couldn't control Song Que, and he knew that it would be difficult for him to win if he continued to fight, so Dugu Remnant shook his sword and took the initiative to end this battle, which was also a very painful contest for him.
There are Dugu remnants dragging Song Que, Guo Zihe, Kou Zhong and other generals of the Northeast Army, but they all got rid of the pursuit of the White Tiger Guard, but the 200,000 Northeast cavalry were chased by the 50,000 White Tiger Legion like dead dogs, and finally fell one, a full 120,000 soldiers and horses...... , the tragic end of being a captive!
Guo Zihe, Kou Zhong and others want to rebel, of course it is impossible, and there is no need to say anything to the low-level soldiers below.
Therefore, in fact, even within the Northeast Army, there are only a few people who know that their boss and young marshal have become out-and-out rebels, and they are still happy to join the ranks of rebellion.
However, it is good that the soldiers don't know about it, and it is precisely because they are all kept in the dark that the soldiers of the Northeast Army all think that they are ...... at this time , that is, conducting military exercises.
So, all the cavalry of the Northeast Army who were slapped over by the White Tiger Janissary immediately surrendered happily with their heads in their hands, and happily became the prisoners of the White Tiger Guards, which was absolutely not even the slightest thought of continuing to resist.
The reason why this is the case is very simple, how good the treatment of the captives is, they don't have to do anything to eat and drink every day, and they can still receive a good military salary, which is far better than running around like now.
Therefore, when it was completely safe, Guo Zihe looked at the defeated remnants of his own army of less than 80,000 in front of him, and he was really ...... , want to cry without tears...... , liver pain.
I think that when I led my troops south, it was like a storm sweeping away leaves in half of the shrimp country, how majestic it was; the first battle of Puyang took only one night, and in one fell swoop, the entire Puyang camp was burned to the ground, and a full 300,000 soldiers and horses were captured.
It's good now, the 200,000-strong army is forcing mules and sheep, and they haven't done anything yet, and they have directly lost nearly 130,000 people, what a tragedy is this...... It's a shame!
However, the matter has come to this point, even if you want to slap yourself sadly, it is already useless, the most important thing now is to quickly find an escape route, and wait until the White Tiger Legion chases, and finally put all the remaining less than 80,000 soldiers and horses into it.
"Xiao Zhong, what should we do now? Whether you want to go or stay, you'd better get an idea quickly. Guo Zihe furrowed his brows and said to Kou Zhong in a low tone.
As soon as his voice fell, everyone turned their attention to Kou Zhong, waiting for him to put forward their opinions.
So, after Kou Zhong pondered for a while, he also frowned and said, "The White Tiger Legion is not continuing the pursuit now, obviously not daring to leave the Tiger Prison Pass too far, for fear that we will have ambush soldiers to take the opportunity to attack the mules and sheep. Therefore, we should be safe for the time being. When everyone heard this, they all breathed a sigh of air and relaxed a little.
Then, after thinking for a while, Kou Zhong said slowly: "Now we have too few soldiers and horses in our hands, and we can no longer afford the second defeat! Therefore, if we continue to stay here, not only will there be no point in it, but we will also face the threat of the White Tiger Legion at all times. In my opinion...... Alas...... , let's hurry back to the southern line to meet Pei Xingjian, and get our 20,000 dragoons back again. After speaking, he looked at Guo Zihe, waiting for his final decision.
80,000 cavalry seems to be quite a lot, but it also depends on who the opponent is.
In the face of the ordinary Beisui Legion, even if it is those elite legions that have gone through great battles, the 80,000 Northeast cavalry is definitely not scared, and they have the courage to fight to the end with the other party, but the 50,000 White Tiger Legion that will cripple the entire 200,000 Northeast cavalry in one fell swoop is obviously not an ordinary legion.
Therefore, instead of staying here and continuing to waste time, it is better to take the opportunity to return to the southern front, and wait until you regroup, and then come back to fight the White Tiger Legion, and lose face all over the ground now...... , to re-find it again at one time.
As a result, Wukong, a soy sauce party audience who was completely idle and only had nothing left to do to eat melons and watch the show, mixed with the 80,000 remnants of the Northeast Army and rushed to the north again.
However, it is precisely because the team has suffered a big defeat now that it feels a bit chaotic and mourning, so of course, no one will find out that there is a master who is very good at cultivation...... , is no longer among the 80,000 remnants!
This person did not follow the brigade to the north, of course, he did not run away alone when he saw that the situation was not good, on the contrary, he was very bold, and after sneaking away alone, he returned - Tiger Prison Pass.
Song Que won a big victory in the first battle, and also defeated Dugu Remnant, who was higher than his own cultivation, his current mood, of course, is excellent.
And at this time, a White Tiger guard suddenly entered the room and reported to Song Queyu: "Master Qiyu, there is a person named Ouyang Feng outside the gate, saying that there is important news and wants to report to you in person." After speaking, he lowered his head and waited for Song Que's decision.
No matter what Song Que said, it could be regarded as half a person in the rivers and lakes, so of course he knew Ouyang Feng, the lord of Jade Toad Mountain, but he really couldn't figure out what important news Ouyang Feng could have about Ouyang Feng, a figure in the rivers and lakes, and wanted to tell him face to face.
So, after bowing his head and muttering for a while, Song Que asked the White Tiger Guards to bring Ouyang Feng to see him, anyway, if he wanted to kill Ouyang Feng, it was just a matter of a knife, of course, he was not afraid of Ouyang Feng and what tricks he would play.
In this way, after about ten minutes, Ouyang Feng, who looked very arrogant, entered the room with his head held high and looked very arrogant.
is the so-called third-rank official in front of the prime minister, Ouyang Feng now thinks that he himself is an important subordinate of Wukong, so ...... , can he put Song Que in his eyes?
As soon as he saw Ouyang Feng's dragging appearance, Song Que immediately snorted coldly, but his cultivation was excellent, but he couldn't see any anger at all on the surface.
In Ouyang Feng's heart, Song Que is just a soldier under Wukong, and he can't compare to him and Wukong at all, he doesn't even have the slightest freedom, life and death are all between Wukong's thoughts...... , intimate master-servant relationship.
Therefore, after discovering that Song Que ignored him, Ouyang Feng didn't bother to pay attention to Song Que, and directly took out the secret letter given to him by Wukong, raised his hand and threw it at Song Que.
Holding the envelope between his fingers and glancing at Ouyang Feng lightly, Song Que looked extremely calm, and opened the secret letter in his hand without saying a word.
I saw that the letter was just a simple one, and a few words were written: "The Northeast Army has been reversed, wait and see what happens for the time being, and no one is allowed to act rashly - Du Xiaodan." Although the content is very small, Wukong believes that as long as Mao Wenchen reads it, he will definitely understand his thoughts and help him start to lay it out later.
And this letter is absolutely fake, because whether it is the font, seal, and the pen and ink used, cinnabar, all of them are Wukong's unique things, handwritten, if Song Que can't even distinguish these, then he doesn't have to mix it up.
However, it was precisely because the letter was true that Song Que felt even more shocked and angry after reading the letter, and finally understood that Mao Wenchen sent him to the Tiger Prison Pass this time...... What the hell does it mean!
