I’m The King Chapter 865: : Sunrise East (90)

Tian Dan's army started a little later than Huo Si'an's army, but it also left Qingtian County earlier and approached Liaoxi step by step. When the bad news came, Tian Dan, who was almost indistinguishable from Huo Si'an, was shocked , Immediately ordered the whole army to stop advancing, while sending a large number of scouts to the direction of Liaoxi County to inquire about the specific situation, and on the other hand, the whole army was preparing to retreat

But it is not easy for an army of 70,000 to 80,000 to advance, but it is even more difficult to retreat. By the time Tian Dan's army retreated, the 10,000 Donghu led by Agu Wynn had already arrived in Qingtian County, cut off the passage for Tian Dan to retreat, and when Tian Dan came, the defenders of Qingtian County who dismissed it at this time also became a thorn in the side, a thorn in the flesh, standing on their retreat road, and became a stick in the heart. knife

"Forward, forward, forward is life, backward is death, kill all these barbarians!" Qi (pig-pig-island) novel.zud. General Bao Sihao held his spear and galloped back and forth among the ranks Running around, desperately cheering up the soldiers, he was ordered by Tian Dan to lead 5,000 vanguards first, firstly, and secondly, he wanted to contain the defenders of Qingtian County and create opportunities for the army to retreat, but he never Unexpectedly, after he returned to Qingtian County, he saw the endless cavalry of the Eastern Zheng Army before he saw Qingtian County.

Although they were carrying the banner of the Eastern Conquering Army, Bao Sihao knew from their attire, clothing color, and usual clothes that these were Donghu people. A sharp machete hanging over the head of Qi Jun

"Kill!" Five thousand soldiers lined up in a phalanx, shouting and marching forward. As Bao Sihao said, moving forward is life, and retreating or staying is a dead word. Maybe you can fight your way out

Under the flying flag of the East Conquest Army, Agu Wynn looked at the Qi army approaching slowly in the distance. He turned his head and asked the tall cars and wooden bones beside him: "How is it?"

Gao Che shook his head slightly, "Compared to the infantry of the Zhengdong Army, they are much worse. When fighting with the Zhengdong Army, their formation hardly stopped and kept moving forward. But it has been kept very strict. These Qi troops are similar to the standing army of the Yan Kingdom that we fought before. Every ten steps, they have to stop and straighten the queue."

"About 5,000 people. Divided into five phalanxes, two in the front and three in the back, equipped with standard infantry and enemy cavalry, but they came in a hurry and were not equipped with the necessary long-range strike weapons. They only relied on bows and arrows to attack our opponents." Not a big "wooden bone road"

"Okay, Gao Che, you attack the left wing. Mu Gulu, you attack the right wing. I will lead my army to attack from the middle to contain them, and take off their clothes layer by layer. Be careful, don't fall into their liaorong , keep a distance, and defend the enemy with bows and arrows. These Qi people don't have as good armor as the Eastern Army, our riding bows. The threat to them should not be small," Agu Huai'en ordered.

"Yes!"

Seeing that the two were about to leave, Agu Wynn stopped them again, his voice lowered all of a sudden, "Remember, while defeating the enemy, try to reduce casualties as much as possible, these Qi people will also work hard of"

Gao Che and Mu Gulu looked at each other, and there was some inexplicable sourness in their eyes

"Go, the credit is in front of you, go and get the military exploits to your heart's content!" Agu Huai'en raised his voice, pulled out the scimitar at his waist, ten thousand Donghu cavalry, and faced five thousand Qi army vanguards. A battle has not yet been fought, and the outcome has already been decided

Shortly after Tian Dan received the news that Bao Sihao's 5,000 soldiers had been defeated by the Donghu cavalry, he received another, even worse, news that his other army, the 30,000 left army led by Huo Si'an, had been killed. The Eastern Expedition Army was surrounded and defeated. Dozens of generals under Huo Si'an died in battle, and nearly ten thousand soldiers died in battle. The rest became prisoners of the Eastern Expedition Army. Here comes rushing

Tian Dan listened to the scouts' reports with a blank face, but his heart was inexplicably horrified. The army assembled by the Eastern Conqueror Army consisted of 30,000 to 40,000 cavalrymen alone. More than 100,000 people, after Huo Si'an was defeated, he was already at a disadvantage in terms of military strength

"Tian Xiang, before their main force arrives, we should do our best to attack Langya. As long as we pass the Xiaoshan pass, we can meet up with the second son and return to Tianhe." General Tian Kuan panicked. /

"What are you panicking about?" Tian Dan scolded, staring at Tian Kuan with an ugly face, "Let's not talk about the cavalry led by the infantry wandering around us, now in Qingtian, there are tens of thousands of Donghu cavalry , Gaoyuan, there are tens of thousands of other cavalry, can we run with two legs faster than four legs? At this time, if we speed up and flee, it will only create more battle results for their cavalry, and they will be defeated one by one."

"Then what should we do now?" Tian Kuan asked in frustration

"What should I do?" Tian Dan snorted, "Huo Si'an didn't succeed enough, but failed. The 30,000 Qi army's athletes were defeated by Zhengdong Army in just a few days. Gao Yuan wants to fight decisively." , then decisive battle, come, send me a messenger immediately, send an order to Tian Fucheng, use up our army in Langya County, kill to the west of Liaoxi, send an order to our garrison in Tianhe, and the whole army will rush to the west of Liaoxi as quickly as possible Huo Siwei in Hejian , let him stop entangled with Zhengdong Army, but destroy, destroy, destroy again, turn the river into a piece of white ground, burn, kill, rob, loot, and make Zhengdong Mansion feel pain as much as possible"

He looked at the generals under his account, and said proudly: "I, Tian Dan, have fought countless battles in my life, and faced countless times, but I have always saved me from danger. Gentle hair, not to mention that there are 80,000 troops under the truth, in Langya, there are 30,000 people, in Tianhe, there are 30,000 people, it is not so easy for Zhengdong Army to bite me down Didn't he just want to force me to leave in a desperate manner to get out of this battle? Is he trying to profit from the chaos? The truth is not what he wants."

Listening to Tian Dan's rhetoric, the generals in the tent felt a little more at ease. Yes, they still have 80,000 troops. They don't have many more people. If Tian Fucheng and Tianhe's garrison outside arrive quickly, then it is still unknown who will win the battle?

"With Changshou County as the center, build a position and prepare for a showdown with the Eastern Conqueror Army!" Tian Dan sternly said

"Here!" All the generals under the tent responded in unison, and then hurried away and began to prepare for the battle according to Tian Dan's instructions. When the entire tent was empty, Tian Dan's excited expression suddenly disappeared. He collapsed, and his tall and straight figure suddenly hunched down, showing his exhaustion and oldness. Although he was still excited just now, only he knew in his heart that the self he was just now was just to boost morale. , I have already lost

Time is not on my side in the end

What I'm doing now is just to get to the negotiating table with Gao Yuan and solve this problem through negotiations. It's obvious that this time, I'm afraid I'll have to pay a considerable price. I just don't know how big Gao Yuan's appetite is

The main force of the Eastern Expedition Army led by Gao Yuan, whether it is fast or slow, arrived in Changshou three days later, forming a momentum with Tian Dan's tens of thousands of troops

An offensive and defensive battle began immediately, but this time the northern army led by Xu Yuan was the first to attack

At Xiaoshan Pass, five thousand soldiers and horses led by Tian Jingwen escorted hundreds of carts of food and grass. Tian Jingwen inspected these places meticulously, he wanted to peek out some combat skills of the Eastern Conquer Army from these positions

The more ditches, parapets, and ruins of fortresses were destroyed, the more Tian Jingwen looked at them, the more startled he became, and the doubts in his heart became even bigger. , walked to the back of the defensive position, looked at the almost complete defensive position, Tian Jingwen felt chills in his heart, as an experienced general, if he was defending here, he would definitely be able to go on for a while. Time, even if the opponent is Tian Xiang

Xiaoshan Pass is the main road leading to the west of Liaoning. Previously, the East Conquest Army resisted desperately, but why did they give up on their own initiative later? There must be something tricky here, Tian Jingwen's hands trembled slightly, there is only one possibility, that is, they don't need to stick around here, they are already prepared

"Order the whole army to prepare to break out of the camp. Let's go to Qingtian, the sooner the better!" Tian Jingwen turned around~IndoMTL.com~right and followed his own soldiers

Passing through the ruins of a messy position, Tian Jingwen was just about to lead the army to set off, when the scouts he set out had already rushed back, seeing the pale faces of the scouts, Tian Jingwen felt that something was wrong

"General, Qingtian found a large number of Donghu cavalry." The voice of the scout was trembling

"East Hu cavalry?" Tian Jingwen has some ears

"It's the Eastern Hu cavalry, but they are under the banner of the Conquering Eastern Army. It is rumored that these Eastern Hu cavalry wiped out the 5,000 troops led by General Bao Sihao in Qingtian. Now Qingtian has been completely controlled by the Eastern Conquering Army. In addition to the cavalry, in Qingtian, there are still an unknown number of infantry of the Zhengdong Army, whose command is Zhang Hongyu who blocked our army at Xiaoshan Pass."

Tian Jingwen's mind was buzzing, the previous premonition was confirmed, Tian Xiang's main force was sealed in the territory of Liaoxi, Gao Yuan's main force had returned long ago, they set a trap, and the Qi army went all the way stuck in

"Go back to Langya immediately, find General Tian Fucheng, tell him the situation here, and ask him to lead the army to help immediately, as long as we can take Qingtian, we can open the way home for Xiang Tian." Tian Jingwen said harshly Road (to be continued...)
