"General Yuan Yu, quickly retreat with me!" Peng Haochu grabbed Shangguan Yuan's arm, pulling him back.
Shangguan Yuan stood still and looked back at the enemy's square formation. He gritted his teeth and said: "How can I retreat if I can't behead the enemy commander?" As he said that, he swung his arm fiercely and pushed Peng Haochu away, dragging his three-pointed, two-edged blade with him. He still wanted to charge towards the enemy lines and continue fighting.
Peng Haochu sighed, and anxiously said: "We cannot let General Yuan Yuan, now that the enemy forces are numerous and have already set up a formation, if our army were to go all out, we will not be able to win!"
Shangguan Yuan let out an angry shout: "With me here, what are you afraid of?"
At this time, Peng Haochu also became anxious, he grabbed Shangguan Yuanyu's arm again and pointed behind him with his other hand, asking: "Don't tell me General Yuan wants to kill three thousand brothers with his own will, and want to kill even more brothers?"
These words caused Shangguan Yuan's heart to tremble, his mind cleared up. He looked towards the direction Peng Haochu pointed, and saw that the Central Army had retreated back to the vicinity of the Central Army Tent, leaving behind a floor full of corpses, more than half of them belonged to the warriors of the Tianyuan Army. The three thousand soldiers that Shangguan Yuan had ordered him to bring, none of them were spared, they all died in the battle earlier.
After he finished reading, Shangguan Yuan was stunned. At the same time, he sucked in a breath of cold air. Seeing that, Peng Haochu pulled him and retreated, at the same time he said: "Don't delay any longer, when the enemy reacted, even if we wanted to retreat, we could not!" He pulled Shangguan Yuan to the side and ordered the troops to immediately withdraw from the Enemy's Camp and return to the Guannan County.
It was easy for them to come in, but not so easy now. The square formation of the Central Army followed closely behind the Tianyuan Army, following it step by step. At the same time, Eagle Feather Arrow s continued to fly out from the square formation, and landed in the midst of the Tianyuan Army camp, emitting miserable cries from time to time.
Being chased and beaten up by the enemy was the most miserable way out, Tianyuan Army only managed to reluctantly leave the camp with his corpse thrown all the way. At this time, Shangguan Yuan saw that the enemy was not giving up, and looked as if he was going to chase them down and enter the Guannan County. He gritted his teeth and said to Peng Haochu: "General Peng, you lead the group to leave first, I'll stay behind!"
After he finished speaking, he did not care about whether Peng Haochu agreed or not, and turned around immediately, running towards the back of his camp. Giving way to the Tianyuan Army soldiers, Shangguan Yuan let them stand alone in the road, then shouted loudly towards the Central Army square array: "If you want to enter the Guannan County, you guys have to pass through me first!"
Central Army's fear of Shangguan Yuan could be said to be quite deep. Seeing Shangguan Yuan let them in the way again, the formation's advance immediately stopped. Everyone felt as if they were facing a great enemy, their hearts raised to their throats. Without receiving Zhong Wen's order, how could the various regiment leaders dare to stop their pursuit for a while, Generals continued to shout: "Forward, continue advancing! "Back army, shoot the arrows!"
Under the orders of the regiment leaders, the Central Army formation slowly moved forward again, at the same time shooting even more arrows. Shangguan Yuan couldn't just stand there and let them shoot him down. He took a deep breath, brandishing his sabre to block the arrows as he charged forward to meet the enemy. Very quickly, both sides came into contact with each other.
Shangguan Yuan didn't hold back and immediately unleashed Spirit Slash, using the sharp Spirit Wave to open a path of flesh and blood for himself. He then brandished his blade and charged into the Enemy's Camp.
He was also fighting against the enemy, so how could Peng Haochu abandon him and retreat first? Helpless, he could only lead his troops to retreat and support Shangguan Yuan.
Once they retreated, Central Army also retreated along with them. They continued to organize themselves in a formation, and started a battle stance with Tianyuan Army.
Just like that, they fought all the way to the Guannan County. At this time, Zhong Wen finally gave up on the idea of killing the enemy and ordered the entire army to return back to the camp.
This order of his caused Tianyuan Army to heave a sigh of relief. It was also a type of release for Central Army, as long as they did not have to face the fiendish Shangguan Yuan making way for them again, it was better than anything else.
In this battle, the casualties on both sides were not considered heavy. The Tianyuan Army side had lost more than five thousand people, including the three thousand soldiers that had followed Shangguan Yuan to steal the camp, and Zhong Wen had lost more than five thousand men as well. It was just that these people had more or less all died by Shangguan Yuan.
Shangguan Yuan wanted to kill Zhong Wen secretly, but it did not succeed. Zhong Wen on the other hand, planned to kill all the enemies that came to steal the camp, in the end, he made Shangguan Yuan retreat safely, and both sides failed to reach their intended targets.
However, from this battle, he was able to give his Tianyuan Army an important piece of information. Zhong Wen was definitely not a coward who could not act recklessly, but rather a handsome man who was good at strategy and military strategy. Regarding this point, even Liang Xing, Wu Yu and Ziyang Haochun, who had been officials for so many years, did not know about it.
He did not ambush Zhong Wen's group, but chose to sneak in. As a result, they lost more than five thousand soldiers, causing Shangguan Yuan and Peng Haochu to command over fifty thousand soldiers to return to the Sanchi City listlessly.
Right now, Tianyuan Army had already been withdrawn from the camp in the forest, openly and honorably setting up the army outside of Sanchi City.
When Shangguan Yuan let Peng Haochu and Shangguan Yuan return to their troop's main camp, they immediately went to see Tang Yin to report to him without even changing their clothes.
At this time, Tang Yin had already received news, and knew that his side's sneak attack on Enemy's Camp had paid off. He was currently in the tent with Qiu Zhen and the others, discussing how to deal with them.
From this battle alone, it could be seen that Zhong Wen was more difficult to deal with than they had expected him to be. What was even more troublesome was his courageous and experienced Central Army, even though it was only one hundred and fifty thousand people, it would be difficult to defeat him. Just as everyone was discussing and giving advice to Tang Yin, Shangguan Yuan let Peng Haochu and Shangguan Ru come in from the outside.
Although the battle was intense, with the protection of his spirit armor, Shangguan Yuan's clothes and armor were relatively clean, but they were not as sharp as when he first fought. First, he had used too much spirit energy during the fight, his physical strength was exhausted, and secondly, the result of the battle was not too good.
"Sir!" This subordinate has come to deliver his order! " The two of them knelt on one knee and interacted as they bowed.
Tang Yin stood in his original position, and swept his gaze between the two of them. From his 10% of unchanging smile, it was hard to tell what he was thinking.
After staring at the two for a while, Tang Yin suddenly asked: "How is it?"
Shangguan Yuan and Peng Haochu looked at each other in confusion. They didn't understand what Tang Yin meant by his sudden question.
"Oh, my lord …"
"Let me ask you two, how is the result of your reckless actions?"
Tang Yin's face darkened, but naturally, the corners of his mouth raised into a smile. He said coldly: "Just pat your own head and think of an idea, thinking that it's a good plan. Five thousand soldiers all died in Enemy's Camp, how could they have the face to return and report! "
Both of their bodies shook at the same time. Shangguan Yuan lowered her head, licked her dry lips, and said, "Sir, this battle was my idea. Even if it was my fault, it has nothing to do with General Peng …"
Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Tang Yin had already walked over to him with large strides. He pointed at Shangguan Yuan who was kneeling on one knee, and said furiously: "I'm talking about you! "No one else was mentioned!"
Tang Yin had always been a calm and steady person, and there were rarely times when he was overjoyed or furious. No matter how close he was with Tang Yin, they could joke around, but in terms of public affairs, the two of them were subjects and servants, furthermore, it was his fault this time.
"Since you are the leader, you are no longer alone. You have to be responsible for your brothers and sisters." Bringing just three thousand people to challenge the Enemy's Camp, have you thought about how these three thousand brothers aren't all Shangguan Yuan to save them? Have you ever thought about how much damage it would do to our army if you were to die within the Enemy's Camp? "
The more Tang Yin said, the angrier he became. He really couldn't go forward and ruthlessly slap Shangguan Yuan so hard that he woke up.
How lucky was he to have such a valiant warrior general like Shangguan Yuan under his command. If he died meaninglessly like this in the Enemy's Camp, it would be equivalent to breaking one of Tianyuan Army's arms.
Shangguan Yuan was unable to raise his head up after being scolded by Tang Yin, his face flushed red, but he did not complain in his heart, instead he was very cautious. From Tang Yin's words, it was not hard to hear how much he valued and cared for him.
Letting out a breath, Tang Yin looked at Shangguan Yuan who was bowing his head without a word, then turned to the left and right generals and asked: "According to military law, what should be done to those who do not obey the military order?"
Hearing this, everyone's hearts shook. They did not obey the order, of course they would execute it. But how could a great general like Shangguan Yuan kill him so easily?
Everyone looked at Tang Yin who was in a rage, and frowned, but no one replied.
Tang Yin raised his eyebrows, he looked at the people and asked: What's wrong? None of you know? "
Qiu Zhen laughed bitterly, cleared his throat and said softly: "Those who do not obey the military order, will be punished according to the military law … "Dang Dang!"
Dang Dang Dang? After Tang Yin heard this, he was also secretly speechless. Why was military law so harsh in his heart? He couldn't bear to kill Shangguan Yuan and give way. He pondered for a moment, then said, "We will follow the military law!" Someone, drag Shangguan Yuan out and punish thirty men! "
"Pu!"
Hearing this, everyone almost choked on their own saliva. Since they didn't intend to punish Shangguan Yuanyang heavily, then why were they still asking about martial law? Just tell someone to go and fight him. The momentum was quite frightening, but in the end, they had only been punished with thirty military sticks. It was really a joke. Everyone looked at each other, silently shaking their heads and laughing.
Hearing the orders, the guards outside the tent walked into the tent one by one. Looking at Shangguan Yuan who was kneeling on the ground, all the guards had an awkward face as they said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, General Shangguan!" As they were talking, everyone grabbed Shangguan Yuan's arm and brought him out.
After everyone had left, Tang Yin seemed to have thought of something again. He quickly walked to the entrance of the tent and said to the guards who were still walking away: "Thirty military sticks is too much.
The guards were all stunned. Only after a moment did they regain their senses and nodded: "Yes! "My Lord!"
Right now was the time for the two armies to fight each other. Tang Yin was also worried that Shangguan Yuan would be severely injured from the fight and not be able to enter the battlefield.
He had never paid much attention to martial law and discipline, so when he wanted to carry out martial law and discipline, it was just like a child's play. This had always been Tang Yin's criticism.
