Chapter 108: Continue to Resist

"Guys, do you see that?"

Sweeping over the generals around him, Bo Yan asked coldly.

"How so?"

Staring at the corpse in the distance, Hedan could not hide the consternation in his eyes.

His body was quite strong, but his hair had turned white, and the beard under his cheeks was as hard as a steel needle, but he was trembling at the moment, and the arm holding the scimitar at his waist was also covered with scars, these were the medals he had won on the battlefield, but the arm could only hold the handle weakly, as if the scimitar would fall to the ground in the next moment.

"That Red Phoenix Army really has a set, and it can defeat our most powerful cowardly Xue. ”

On the other side, the same old general was also frowning, obviously full of fear of the scene in front of him.

He was the son of Chagatai, Baithar, and because he was ordered by Ali Buge, he was sent here to defend against the invading Red Phoenix Army.

Following him, a young man in his twenties asked, "Father, how do you think we can defeat each other?" and looked angrily at the battlefield in the distance, where the despicable southerners were busy at the moment.

These people stripped off the armor and longbows worn by the warriors of their clan, and even the clothes on their bodies were not left, and they were directly gathered and thrown into the big pit dug next to them and buried them.

He wanted to take revenge, but he also knew that he couldn't fight the other party with his own strength.

"I'm sorry Brie, I don't know!" Shaking his head, Baidaer remained silent.

He was a good cavalryman, and all who knew him said so, including in the eldest son's expedition to the west, and the same was true of those who dared to fight him.

But when facing the Red Phoenix Army composed of guns and artillery, Bai Da'er realized that the riding skills he was proud of were actually penniless!

"Then let those red thieves continue to show off their might outside the city?"

Tu Xuan clenched his fists and looked at the Red Phoenix Army in the distance with resentment.

He was the son of Torre, and although Torre was only a minor when he died, he was raised by Möngke as his closest person, but his brother Möngke died at the hands of the other party years ago, which has always made him doubly uncomfortable.

"How else?"

Shaking his head, Bai Daer replied, "You have also seen that our cavalry has failed, completely failed. The strength of the other side exceeds our estimates, and with the strength in our hands alone, we simply cannot fight against them. ”

"But uncle, have you forgotten that they are the ones who killed our dearest, so let them continue to be arrogant?" said Ba Xuan, a little excited, opened his mouth and scolded.

Nabri shook his head lightly and sighed, "It is for this reason that we must be more cautious, so as not to lose our lives in vain like those soldiers who died. Do you understand that?"

He was shocked, and then looked at Hedan, Xiban, and Tang Wuxi, and he continued to plead: "But you have also seen it, and our soldiers are lying there. And they were also unscrupulously insulted by the Red Phoenix Army. How can we, too, watch them continue to insult our people?"

As soon as he was plucked, Hedan, Xiban and Tang Wuxi all fell silent.

They didn't give a glance, but just looked at Ba Xuan lightly, with pity in their eyes.

Ba Xuan looked stunned for a moment, and then he noticed everyone's rejection, and the scene of Meng Ge flashed in his mind, and he opened his mouth to reprimand: "Hmph! After all, you are just a bunch of cowards." In that case, let me go alone. Either way, I'm going to make that guy pay. ”

Looking at Xiao Feng in the distance, he saw that the other party looked indifferent, and he didn't put himself in his eyes, which was simply treating himself as an ant. Clenching the long knife in his hand, he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, but he suddenly took a step forward, as if he was going to challenge alone.

But his outstretched hand grabbed his shoulders and stopped him from moving on.

"Uncle, don't stop me!"

Turning his head, he glanced at the person behind him who was stopping, and shouted directly.

Kuo Liejian shook his head and persuaded: "Child, don't be impulsive!"

"But that guy is there, just kill that guy and we'll be dealt with here. Ba Xuan insisted on his thoughts, and pleaded again: "Just give me 20,000 cowardly Xue Jun, and I will definitely take off that guy's head and comfort my father and brother's souls in the sky!"

"Confused!"

Kuo Lie scolded sharply, and suddenly made Ba Xuan look stunned, and he couldn't figure out why he who had always been treated gently was so hideous now?

Kuo Liejian shook his head and replied directly: "The previous 10,000 cavalry, haven't you taught you a lesson? That Red Phoenix Army is no longer the Red Phoenix Army it used to be. They were now armed with guns strong enough to shoot through iron armor, as well as artillery capable of annihilating heavy cavalry. You go alone, just send to death!"

"But the man who killed my brother is close at hand, how can I be restrained? Uncle, you just let me go. He pleaded loudly, just as he had asked Ali Buge at the beginning, and pleaded directly to Kuorejian.

But Kuo Lijian shook his head firmly and replied, "This is impossible!"

"Why?"

Ba Xuan looked stunned, and his eyes were unwilling.

Kuo Lijian's heart was gloomy, and he said, "You should know me." I grew up with your father and witnessed the growth of your two brothers, and after their deaths, you were raised by my own hands. Do you remember the Han classics and Taoist techniques that your father took in? I personally collected them all because he wanted them, so I found them. ”

"I know!"

Hanging his head, he finally showed some weakness.

Kuo Lejian continued: "So my affection for them is by no means worse than that of you. They died, and I was grieved. But you have to understand that you are their younger brother, their sustenance. If you die like this, what will you do to your two brothers?"

"But me!"

Ba Xuan looked stunned, and couldn't help but raise his head, wanting to justify.

But when he saw the deep eyes of Korejian, he could no longer speak, after all, those eyes contained feelings deeper than Baikal.

Kuo Lejian whispered: "Listen to me, don't act alone, you know?"

Only then did Ba Xuan let go of his belief in revenge and replied, "I understand!"

Seeing that Kuo Liejian let go of his thoughts, the tight strings in Boyan's heart were loosened.

He turned to everyone and asked, "In that case, I wonder how you think we should deal with the Red Phoenix Army next?"

"Red Phoenix Army?"

Bai Da'er took a deep look at the battlefield in the distance, and sighed: "An oversight of the former Khan, I didn't expect to create such a formidable enemy today? With a roll of his eyes, he looked at Na Hedan again and asked, "According to your opinion, what do you think you should do?" After all, when the eldest son went west, I still remember your exploits. ”

He Dan was stunned, and when he saw the expectant eyes of all the soldiers, he had to reply: "If it is according to my thoughts, maybe we have to retreat at this moment!"

"Retreat?"

Ba Yu was shocked and shouted, "We haven't defeated the Red Phoenix Army yet, how can we retreat just like this?"

He Dan's eyes condensed slightly, and he glanced at Kuo Liejian with some anger, as if he was complaining about why he hadn't restrained him, and said, "Otherwise, after all, the Red Phoenix Army is best at attacking tough battles in the name of firearms." Although we have been familiar with the method of riding training since childhood, when it comes to foot combat, we are really not the opponent of the southerners. If we continue to stalemate here, it will only make more sons and daughters sacrifice in vain!"

When he said this, many generals breathed a sigh of relief.

They weren't afraid of the Red Phoenix Army, but because the previous battle situation was too shocking, they didn't want to die directly without any meaning.

Seeing that the generals were lucky, Ba Xuan was anxious in his heart, and before the rest of the people could react, he already raised his head and replied: "But what about the hatred of the rank khan? If we continue to retreat, it will only make the Red Phoenix Army laugh at our incompetence." Even those other tribes that are attached to us will have many different intentions because of this, and even begin to challenge our position. Retreat?

He Dan looked stunned, and retorted a little angrily: "You guy, but a hairy boy who has not dried up, how dare you accuse me like this?"

Because of the grievances between Ogedai and Torrey, as the son of Ogedei, he really suffered a lot when Meng Ge and Ali Buge were in power, but today he was accused by such a kid, so he was naturally a little displeased.

At this moment, Xiban on the side interjected and said: "What Hedan said, but there is some truth!"

"I think the reason why we have been able to grow from a tribe in the past to today's great empire is not by relying on swords and horses, and annihilating all the enemies who dare to oppose us? Now the Red Phoenix Army dares to provoke us? In my opinion, naturally only by suppressing it can we get away with the style of our former empire. Tang Wuxi also helped.

The two of them spoke together, which also made all the soldiers present nod thoughtfully.

If they fight all the way, if they go back in shame like this, what would it be like?

What's more, although the Red Phoenix Army was powerful, it only caused them certain losses, and these losses were still insufficient compared to when they attacked the Jin Dynasty and Western Xia, how could they retreat because of this?

Batu replied, "In that case, shall we continue to garrison this place?"

Although he is the commander of this place, these people in front of him are not small, or after the founding heroes, or the sons of the Great Khan, no one can be offended by him, so he can only be respectful.

"Of course!"

The generals replied in unison.
