Chapter 476

Cangyuan, an open plain outside the great wall of Yili, is now full of marching tents, large and small. Hundreds of thousands of troops have moved here, and the consumption of food and grass alone is a terrible number.

However, in and out of these blue marching tents were mostly wounded soldiers, all of whom were soldiers of the Qin heavenly army in blue armor. It is just that these former victorious divisions, at this time, have a decadent, war like atmosphere in these camps.

In fact, it can't be blamed on them. Since half a month ago, the 1.2 million troops of Cangyuan's he people launched a rapid attack on the Yili defense line, the Qin heavenly army, which had not been defeated for more than 20 years, was like a fat man who had been ill. No one had attacked him before. Maybe they couldn't see it, but they were lying on the ground like dogs, He jumped up and threw a heavy fist on Qin Tianjun's face. He knocked the fat man to the ground. All the negative emotions broke out at this moment.

Kuitun was lost on the first day, and the first line of defense collapsed on the second day. Altay was lost on the second day, and the second line of defense collapsed on the second day. If there were elements of active retreat in the first two days, the soldiers of the Qin heavenly army still believed that they could win over the he people riding camels, so their morale was not affected, Nearly all the superior forces were contracted to defend, and more than one million troops of the Khmer people were resisted day and night. After more than ten days of crazy attacks, Yining, the core city of the third line of defense, also fell down, and the last line of defense completely collapsed. The defeated 300000 Khin troops gathered on the flat land outside the Yili Great Wall.

In order to prevent spies from entering the fortress, Hou Guyun of Pingyuan strictly forbids any army to enter the city, and officers at the level of deputy commander or above enter the city to discuss countermeasures.

However, the 300000 defeated troops were forced to stay on the open plains. At night, the cold wind in the northwest took the lives of many wounded soldiers. Although the military doctors transferred from Yili fortress were busy running like dogs among countless military tents, the non combat casualties were still like the plague of death, riding the night and the cold wind, It spread around the whole Yili fortress.

Those soldiers who lost their lives because of the lack of medicine and quilts seem to have turned into the undead, circling their bodies and unwilling to leave. The shrill wind resonates with the bleak trees strangely, which seems to make the whole neighborhood of Yili fortress fall into an atmosphere of fear and uneasiness!

"Are we really going to lose?"

"Will we still win?"

"What if we lose?"

"Will he kill us? As we did when we killed their captives? "

Not only the ordinary soldiers of the qintian army, but also the generals of the qintian army who hold military power, from centurions to commanders, also have this kind of mood. Some officers are even deeply involved in it and can't extricate themselves from it. As a result, negative emotions such as depression, chagrin, and even madness erupt.

It was in this atmosphere of panic that a man in white flying in the imperial air came to a military camp. The man was wearing a pure white robe and covered most of his face with a hood. It was difficult to see his face clearly. The man asked to see Gu Yu, the Fenwu captain of the Shenmu Department of the imperial army. The Qin heavenly army named the five divisions after the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, so the Qin heavenly army is also called the five elements.

The guard saw that the man in white was introverted and seemed to be an expert, so he didn't dare to neglect him and informed Gu Yu.

Gu Yu is still thinking about when he met a monk in white. He sees a man in white step into the camp under the guidance of the guards.

"Excuse me, you are..." Gu Yu at first glance, but did not recognize who it was, just feel that the figure is very familiar, can not help but ask.

"Sir? Er... It's hard to answer that. " When the man in white saw Gu Yu, his tone suddenly changed, but he pulled off the hood, revealing a face that Gu Yu could not be more familiar with.

"Bang!" Gu Yu put a fist on the man's shoulder and felt that he had been fooled by others. He said, "what's the matter with you? What's more, I've got this set of clothes to pretend to be a ghost! "

Needless to say, the hidden white monk described by the guard was Gufan.

Gu Fan said with a smile: "at a special moment, of course, we have to use a special method." Gu fan took off his white robe and hung it on the clothes rack in the tent. He was not polite to Gu Yu. He sat down on Gu Yu's March bed and said, "I heard that Cangyuan had suffered an unprecedented defeat here, so I immediately wrote to the military department and asked for my cloud wing Department to be transferred here, but the imperial court didn't approve, I had to run here alone from Weifeng city in the northeast. This is an urgent situation. It will take at least a month if you come here on horseback. But if someone recognizes the identity of the commander of our cloud wing department and spreads it to the hostile forces, it will be a crime of disobeying orders and leaving duty without permission. That's why I took a robe that can only be worn by the elder level of the BEIYAO palace and flew all the way

Gu Yu laughed at Gu fan's words, sat on a chair opposite to Gu fan, patted his thigh and said, "you really have a good idea. Who is free to check the elder of BEIYAO palace? Besides, the elder's strength is generally good, and his temper is also eccentric. Most people don't find it boring, and some bandits dare not kick these steel plates, so you must have a good time on your way? "

Gu fan also echoed with a smile: "yes, otherwise, how could it be possible to run from northern Xinjiang to Cangyuan in a week?" Gu Yu can hear that Gu fan is also worried, but after all, now that the father and son have arrived at the same place, it's much more reassuring. Gu Yu looked at Gu fan and sighed, "you've finally come. It's hard to control Cangyuan's situation."“ What's the matter? " Gu fan seldom sees Gu Yu show such dignified expression, can't help but ask in a voice: "can't the Marquis of the plain suppress?" Gu Yu shook his head. Gu fan was about to breathe a sigh of relief when he heard Gu Yu say: "father, he didn't want to fight directly with the main force of he people before. He almost gave the first and second line of defense to he people. When the third line of defense wanted to fight to the death, he couldn't hold it. That's why you see this situation now."“ Why? " Gu fan had rich experience in leading soldiers in his previous life, but now he has been fighting on the battlefield for a long time and won a lot of battles. But he can't figure out why Hou Guyun of the plain wanted to give up the first and second line of defense which were as solid as gold. If he wanted to shrink his troops, it would be better to let out the last line of defense and take all the supplies back to the Yili fortress, Why should we defend the last line of defense? As a result, we had to retreat to Yili fortress after causing a lot of casualties. It doesn't make sense... Gu Yu just shook his head and said, "I can't guess my father's real intention. Although we are father and son, there is no father and son in the army. We are still superior and subordinate. As a Fenwu captain, I can't see my father directly and I can't ask him face to face." Gu fan nodded slightly, as if he could understand Gu Yu's difficulties. Then he stood up and asked Gu Yu, "Gu Yu, do you think he is waiting for someone or when?" When Gu Yu heard Gu fan mention this, he nodded and replied: "yes, I think it should be the same. Zhan Qunxiong of Shenmu Department came back these days and told us that the Marquis is waiting for an opportunity. Winning or losing is a matter of military affairs. Let's cheer up. How did you guess that, Gufan Gu Fan said with a smile: "more soldiers, intuition..." with Gu fan's words, Gu Yu was silent. It's not that Gu fan's rank and strength are higher than him, which makes his brother suffer from red eye disease. It's because Gu fan's words touch his pain. There are more soldiers to lead... Gu Yu, as a Fenwu captain, has no right to lead his own troops. For example, the Shuntian army in the southwest of Gu fan used to lead his troops to fight against Lincang City. This kind of thing can only happen because Ming Hui and Guan Haotian protect Gu fan. Gu Yu is in the army of his father Gu Yun. Instead, Gu Yun is more selfless. He is afraid that his subordinates will say that he has shielded his son and connived at what he has done. In this way, Gu Yu's life was the worst among all the Fenwu lieutenants. In the past, even though he was in the charge of his mother, Mrs. Yujue, he could drink wine several times secretly. When he arrived at the Imperial Army, he didn't even have to drink wine. As for going beyond his authority, he didn't dare to do such things.
