Chapter 987

Even if aripu went to the Wara army's main account and saw the leader first. "My Lord, the city is high and the walls are strong. If there were no heavy weapons, the battle would really not continue. But I don't know where the Beiming artillery shells we need have been transported?"

"Oh, prime minister, our leader is worried about this matter," he said with an ugly face first, "According to general tengshu's previous report, they should have arrived at the barracks yesterday. Just because the rain stopped, they were afraid that it would take two nights a day, but it doesn't matter. Now the heavy rain has stopped, and our leader sent a response team. It must not be long before the shells will arrive at the barracks. At that time, our leader must inform the prime minister at the first time."

Seeing this statement first, arip couldn't force him again, so he had to nod, "well, if so, I'll wait here for the good news from the leader."

"Ha ha, there will be good news," he said confidently at first. But soon, the news came that the cavalry had gone, but he still didn't see half a figure at the foot of Saihan mountain.

"It's impossible." when the news was returned to the master account, a worry flashed in my eyes, but I would never admit it. "You must have gone the wrong way and staggered with general tengshu. In this way, send someone to look for it and give me inch by inch land to look for it. You can't let go of any suspicious place."

After leading the army for many years, I knew clearly what it would mean if there was an accident on the battlefield. But tengshu was carrying 10000 cavalry. How could he disappear without interest? There must be something wrong with one of these links.

The fact soon proved Yexian's guess. After receiving the order, the scouts searched carefully. Sure enough, they found a place at the foot of Saihan mountain where the soil was very loose. With suspicion, they dug it up and exposed the bodies of 10000 cavalry soldiers inside. The news was quickly reported to Yexian. Surprised, he asked people to invite arip to discuss the matter together. Why So the other party also paid 20000 war horses, which must be explained.

After getting the news, Prime Minister arip quickly came to Yexian's main account. As soon as he entered here, he lost his composure in the past, but said with a worried face: "chief, what happened? I heard that general tengshu was in danger?"

"Yes." he lowered his head first, his face heavy and angry.

"What's the matter? We spent 20000 war horses to buy those shells." arip confessed everything first and asked. This time, the siege was waiting for these shells to respond, but now he was told there was no more. What should he do next?

Seeing that arip wanted to ask for guilt, he first raised his head and said with an unhappy face: "prime minister, please remember that we not only lost 10000 war horses, but also killed 10000 cavalry. As for the loss, we are much larger than yours."

After getting angry, arip thought that there was something wrong with his attitude, and his tone eased a lot, "Yes, I deeply sympathize with your department for such a heavy loss. It's just that there should be an explanation of what's going on. It's 10000 cavalry. How can it be said that they will be destroyed if they are destroyed? What's more, no one has come back. It's not normal."

"It's really abnormal." he first agreed with this view, and then asked with a trace of doubt, "prime minister, do you think the five-star army did it?"

"Five Star Army?" arip first looked stunned, then shook his head and said, "haven't they determined that their main force is in the direction of Mobei city and Shicheng city? How can they spare no effort to arrange people to ambush US South of Shicheng? If they really have such great ability, why do they have to defend the city? I don't think so."

Arip is a smart man. It is said that he will not express any views directly on some things. However, as long as he understands the current things, he can see that the five-star army has long been weak and has no strength to fight back.

Not only was he thinking like this, but he also held the same idea first. But he really couldn't think of any other reason, so he made a random test. Listening to arip's answer, he also nodded, "Yes, the five-star army should not have this strength. Although the 10000 cavalry brought by tengshu are not the most elite strength, they are not furnishings. If you want to kill all of them without leaving them, it will take several times the strength to do it. The five-star army does not have this strength."

After excluding the possibility of the five-star army committing crimes, arip and first thought of another force, the northern Ming army. Comparatively speaking, Saihan mountain is not far from Dalu city. They have long heard that 200000 reinforcements from the northern Ming Dynasty have come from the capital. Is it possible that they suddenly attacked and killed tengshu and others?

Although we are now allies, anything can happen when there is a conflict of interests. It is not surprising that with so many artillery shells, it is possible to do anything.

This is the truth that there are no eternal enemies and friends, but only eternal interests. Who can tell what the northern Ming army will do for interests?

Just when the two smart people have something in mind, but they still lack evidence. The scout who went to explore the corpse came back and brought the evidence they wanted, that is, a small amount of Beiming military uniforms were found in the burial pit. It was only because the other party was afraid of leaving evidence and set fire to them, so that even the bodies were dilapidated and could not see how they died. Even those northern Ming military uniforms were held in the hands of Warsaw cavalry warriors, which left some evidence and hope.

"Asshole, I didn't think they did it." Mr. Ye was angry and hit the wooden table in front of him with a heavy fist. There had been speculation before, and now there was evidence. He had no doubt about it.

Arip was also angry. Although 10000 war horses can lead the northern Ming army to take such a big risk, it seems unreasonable. But the fact was there, and he couldn't let him not believe it. Then the problem came. The northern Ming army had already moved behind them, and they were no longer safe. Between the northern Ming army and the five-star army, they may be attacked by two sides at any time. If so, they must take action, otherwise it will be too late to wait for the overall situation to be determined.

"What should I do? Don't wait for me to send someone to answer the question about the situation in Lu city?" he asked conservatively first.

"The city of Dalu has been closed for a long time. Our people couldn't get in before. Now something like this happened again. If they can get in, they must not let it out. Such an investigation is meaningless." arip shook his head. Under the idea of foresight, he thought that all investigations had become unnecessary. On the contrary, doing so would only delay the withdrawal of the army.

"Yes, what are we going to do? Withdraw?" when he said this, there was a trace of uneasiness in his tone.

"We have to withdraw. But before we leave, we have to take some things. I have sent someone to inspect. Some of the 300000 Mu grain fields in the north of Shicheng are mature. If we move fast enough, we can still take some. This can not only solve the problem of insufficient food and grass, but also devastate Shicheng and make them fall into trouble in a short time Food shortage has delayed their development, "arip said reluctantly. That is, it has been confirmed that it is difficult to capture the original city. I'm afraid it's also an adventure to go to Mobei city again. That can only be followed by retreating and robbing what can be robbed first.

This is the best way and the only thing you can do. First of all, although the food and grass we brought this time is not small, the more things to protect our lives, the better. Even when we nodded, "well, I agree with this opinion. In this way, we each sent 10000 cavalry to grab food and only gave them seven days. As for how much we can grab, it all depends on our ability?"

"Well, after we grab our own food, all the others that can't be taken away will be burned. In any case, we can't leave them to the five-star army," arip added.

"That's good. Well, in these seven days, we can just bring back the cavalry on the Northwest Line and be ready for the withdrawal of the whole army at any time." that's what I said first, which has confirmed everyone's decision to retreat. A thunderous siege was doomed to failure.

After the two leaders reached a unity of thought, they sent 10000 cavalry to the grain base north of Shicheng. But the next thing didn't go well. In the face of yellow and orange food, they even made it difficult.

This does not mean that there are many five-star armies defending here. It is really because there are too many mines. They each pay hundreds of riding costs after advancing a distance of two or three miles. According to the report, it seems that there are still many mines buried under the ground that can lift their soldiers into the air. If you want to finish it, I'm afraid it's far from what you can do in a short time.

When the news came back, he scolded Yang Chendong's cunning with arip. Obviously, this is a situation that should have been set up long ago, just because they always wanted to wait for the grain to mature and make up their mind, so they didn't know to ignore it.

"If you can't get it, destroy it. Don't we still have some explosive catapults? Drive them and blow it to the ground." holding the idea of losing both sides, he also made a cruel move first.
