Chapter 215 Dongyi retreats

Eastern Wasteland.

Outside Dongyan Pass.

Dongyi army barracks.

In the big tent.

Rige, the commander-in-chief of the Dongyi Army, was sitting on the main seat, looking at the news he had just received in his hand, his face uncertain.

Originally, the Dongyi Imperial Guard was seriously wounded by a shot from a master sent to Donghuang by the Great Zhou Dynasty, so Li Ge, who was about to break through Dongyan Pass, had to temporarily withdraw his troops, which already made Li Ge feel very bad.

But the news that just came made Rigg's heart sink to the bottom.

The dozen or so Dongyi generals present below saw Li Ge sitting on the throne with a gloomy expression on his face, and they all felt strange.

They knew that their commander-in-chief was in a bad mood after failing to break through Dongyan Pass and the national army was seriously injured.

But just now their commander's expression became even more frightening after receiving a piece of news.

This made more than a dozen Dongyi generals curious about what kind of news could make their commander look even uglier than before when he retreated.

"Commander, what happened?"

A Dongyi general couldn't help but asked.

The other generals also looked directly at Rige in the chief seat.

Rige raised his head, glanced at the generals, and said in a deep voice, "The news just came that the armies of Xirong and Beidi were destroyed by the Great Zhou Dynasty."

"The commander-in-chief and commander-in-chief of Xirong died in the hands of Cao Zhengchun, and the commander-in-chief and commander-in-chief of Beidi died in the hands of Lu Bu."

As soon as these words came out.

The expressions of the more than ten Dongyi generals present here all changed, and they took a breath of air.

The armies of Xirong and Beidi were destroyed?

Moreover, their national advisors are all dead.

This news was nothing less than a thunder, which shocked the generals of Xirong to the point where they could not recover for a while.

"Commander, is this news confirmed?"

"It can't be fake news!"

These Dongyi generals couldn't believe that this was true.

You must know that both Xirong and Beidi have hundreds of thousands of armies.

If Zhou Dynasty wanted to destroy the armies of Xirong and Beidi, how many soldiers and horses would it take to do so?

However, according to the current situation of Dazhou, Dazhou does not have many soldiers and horses at all.

Moreover, the Marquis of Xiliang and the Marquis of Zhenbei secretly colluded with Xirong and Beidi.

How could the Zhou Dynasty still have soldiers and horses to deal with the armies of Xirong and Beidi?

"This news is true."

"The Marquis of Xiliang and the Marquis of Beidi have all been captured by the Great Zhou court, and the power of the Xiliang Army and the Zhenbei Army has also returned to the hands of the Great Zhou Court."

"Take a look!"

Rigg passed the news in his hand to the generals below for viewing.

To be honest, even Rigg couldn't believe it.

However, this news is true.

The Marquis of Xiliang and the Marquis of Zhenbei were captured by the Zhou Dynasty. With the Xiliang Army and the Zhenbei Army, it was not impossible for the Zhou Dynasty to destroy the armies of Xirong and Beidi.

The dozen or so Dongyi generals below took turns looking at the news sent to them by Rige.

When the more than ten Dongyi generals read the news, they all looked solemn.

The news is true.

The armies of Xirong and Beidi were destroyed by Zhou Dynasty.

In this case, their plan of uniting the four parties to hunt the Central Plains was aborted.

Without the armies of Xirong and Beidi, the Southern Barbarians and the Eastern Yi alone would not have the strength to hunt the Central Plains.

"Commander, where is the Nanman side?"

"Wouldn't the army on the southern barbarian side also be destroyed by Zhou?"

A Dongyi general asked.

Rige shook his head; "I don't know, there is no news from the Nanman side yet."

"However, the armies of Xirong and Beidi were destroyed by Zhou Dynasty, so our plan to hunt the Central Plains will be impossible."

"Moreover, the Great Zhou court sent experts, and even the imperial master was injured, as you have seen before."

"What do you think we should do about the current situation?"

Rige looked at the dozen Dongyi generals below and asked.

After the dozen Dongyi generals looked at each other, they all pondered.

In fact, there is no need to think too much, the current situation is already obvious.

The armies of Xirong and Beidi were destroyed by Zhou Dynasty, and their plan of uniting the four parties to hunt the Central Plains was no longer possible.

In addition, Dongyan Pass has not yet been breached, and the imperial court has sent another strong man, who is not even a match for their national advisor.

If we continue to attack Dongyan Pass, the result can be imagined.

"Commander, the armies of Xirong and Beidi were destroyed by Zhou Dynasty, so our plan of uniting the four parties to hunt the Central Plains is no longer possible."

"Moreover, the Great Zhou Dynasty sent another strong man to Dongyan Pass, and the National Preceptor is no match for him."

"If we continue to attack Dongyan Pass, we will lose more than we gain."

"Therefore, the general believes that we should retreat immediately to avoid further losses."

A Dongyi general on the right hesitated for a moment and then spoke cautiously.

"Commander, we have to mobilize a lot of troops, and the cost is not small."

"Coupled with the battles these days, our Dongyi army also suffered many casualties."

"If we retreat like this, how will we explain to the king when we go back?"

A Dongyi general on the left frowned and said.

"Yes! Handsome."

"After these days of fighting, our Dongyi army has suffered a lot of casualties."

"These wounded and wounded soldiers need to be compensated."

"I sent troops to Dongyi, but I didn't get any benefits. In the end, not only did I lose troops, but I also had to provide compensation for these casualties. This..."

The other Dongyi generals present also spoke about this matter.

Their Dongyi army had suffered heavy casualties in the past few days, and they retreated without reaping any benefits.

Doesn't this correspond to the saying, "Stealing the chicken will lose the rice?"

How could these Dongyi generals be so willing?

"Retreat!"

At this moment, Dongyi Imperial Master walked into the big tent.

"The strong man sent by the Great Zhou Dynasty is very strong. With him, we can't break Dongyan Pass."

"And if he attacks you, no one can stop him."

"The armies of Xirong and Beidi have been destroyed by Zhou Dynasty. If we, Dongyi, continue to attack, it will have no meaning except for adding some casualties."

"Maybe our Dongyi army will follow in the footsteps of Xirong and Beidi."

"So, if Marquis Donghuang and the others haven't recovered from today's battle, they should immediately give the order to retreat!"

Dongyi Imperial Master said with a pale face.

The Dongyi Imperial Master was personally involved in the previous shot, and he knew the power of that shot better than anyone else.

Being able to seriously injure him, the Dongyi Imperial Master, with one shot from such a long distance.

This shows how terrifying the opponent's strength is.

With such powerful people sitting in Dongyan Pass, they have no chance.

"National Preceptor."

Seeing the Dongyi Imperial Master entering the big tent, the dozen or so Dongyi generals present all stood up respectfully.

Even Li Ge, the commander-in-chief of the Dongyi Army, was no exception.

The status of the national advisor is very high, even Li Ge, the commander-in-chief of the Dongyi army, must be respectful.

"No need to be polite."

Dongyi Imperial Master nodded at the generals: "You all know the current situation."

"Compared with the risk of being annihilated, those casualties are inconsequential. Retreating is the only option at the moment."

Li Ge nodded in agreement with Dongyi's words.

Rige raised his eyes, glanced at the generals, and said, "You have all heard what the Imperial Master said!"

"My commander-in-chief and the Imperial Guard have the same intention. There is no point in continuing to attack Dongyan Pass now."

"Let's not talk about whether we can break through Dongyan Pass."

"Even if we can break through Dongyan Pass, the price we have to pay is unimaginable."

"What's more, I believe that with the strong man sent by Zhou Dynasty, we basically have no chance of breaking through Dongyan Pass."

"Therefore, rather than continue to increase casualties, I decided to withdraw our troops immediately."

Rigg said decisively.

In fact, before the Dongyi Imperial Army came in, Li Ge had already decided to withdraw.

Because, the current situation is already extremely unfavorable to the Dongyi army.

After weighing the pros and cons.

Lige had only one way to retreat.

As the commander-in-chief of the Dongyi army, Lige was responsible for these hundreds of thousands of troops.

"The generals will listen to the order and immediately prepare all matters for retreating."

"Before dark, the entire army must be ready."

"As soon as it gets dark, our Dongyi army will leave immediately."

Rigg looked at the generals below with a stern expression and ordered.

Retreating is not that simple.

This also requires guarding against the possibility that Hou Donghuang will send troops to pursue him.

Therefore, Lige was extremely cautious about withdrawing troops.

If you can't handle this well, the Donghuang Army will take advantage of the situation and pursue you.

…

Dongyan Pass.

Close the wall.

Donghuang Hou and Zhao Yun stood side by side, looking at the Dongyi camp outside the pass.

"Master Marquis, General Zhao knocked away the Dongyi Imperial Master. The Dongyi traitors should not make any more moves today."

A general of the Donghuang Army next to him saw that there was no movement in the Dongyi camp outside the pass, and couldn't help but speak.

Marquis Donghuang nodded; "General Zhao severely wounded the Dongyi Imperial Preceptor with one shot before, which deterred the Dongyi traitors. The Dongyi traitors should not be able to make any moves today."

"However, be careful with the ten-thousand-year-old ship. If you pass on the order, you still have to strengthen your defenses and be careful of the raids by Dongyi traitors."

Donghuang Hou looked at the Dongyi camp outside the pass and said.

"Yes, Lord Marquis."

The Donghuang general accepted the order with his hands.

After Donghuang Hou gave this order, he withdrew his gaze and looked at Zhao Yun next to him: "General Zhao, there should be no movement from this Dongyi traitor today."

"General Zhao rode all the way to Donghuang, and he probably didn't get much rest either!"

"Let's go to Guanxia to take a rest and eat something."

"It can be considered that I have received the wind and washed away the dust for General Zhao."

Donghuang Hou looked at Zhao Yun and said.

Zhao Yun nodded after hearing this.

He did not reject Donghuang Hou.

Along the way, Zhao Yun was indeed riding high and whipping up his whip without much rest.

Since the Dongyi army was silent now, it was a good time for him to take a rest.

Later, Dong Huanghou took Zhao Yun down to Dongyan Pass.

…

the next day.

Early in the morning.

Zhao Yun walked up to the wall of Dongyan Pass feeling refreshed and refreshed.

I saw Donghuang Hou already standing on the wall of the pass, looking directly at the Dongyi camp outside the pass.

"Master Hou."

Zhao Yun stepped forward and called out.

The Marquis of Donghuang withdrew his gaze, looked at Zhao Yun and said, "General Zhao, why did you get up so early, and why didn't you take more rest?"

"The general has already rested."

Zhao Yun said, looking at the Dongyi camp outside the pass: "Is there any movement from this Dongyi traitor?"

Marquis Donghuang shook his head; "This Dongyi traitor has been silent all this time."

"Moreover, the entire camp of the Dongyi traitors has been very quiet. There is not even any smoke. It feels very wrong."

"I've already sent people out to investigate."

Donghuang Hou looked at the Dongyi camp outside the pass and said with a frown.

Dong Huanghou always felt that something was wrong.

Yesterday there was some movement in the Dongyi camp outside the pass, but after one night, there was no movement at all in the Dongyi camp.

It's a little scary quiet.

Did this Dongyi traitor retreat last night?

An idea suddenly popped up in Dong Huanghou's mind.

At this moment, a general of the Donghuang Army rushed up to the wall.

"Master Marquis, the Dongyi army seems to have retreated."

"The scouts just came to report that there was no movement in the entire Dongyi Camp. It seemed to be an empty camp."

The general of the Donghuang Army ran up to the wall and said hurriedly to the Queen of Donghuang.

What?

Empty camp?

Marquis Donghuang raised his eyebrows, "Are you sure?"

The general of the Eastern Wasteland Army immediately said: "The scouts did not dare to get too close. They were just observing not far outside the camp, so they are not sure yet."

After hearing this, the Marquis of Donghuang pondered for a moment and said, "Let's go out and have a look."

"Master Hou, I still don't know what the situation is in Dongyi Camp."

"What if this is a trick by the Dongyi traitors?"

"General Mo, let's take some people to Dongyi Camp to investigate first!"

Donghuang Hou is the backbone of their Donghuang Army. No one knows what is going on in the Dongyi camp outside the pass.

If this is Dongyi's trick, then it would be dangerous for Donghuang Hou to leave the border directly.

Therefore, the general spoke quickly.

Marquis Donghuang shook his head and said, "No need."

"With General Zhao here, even if the Dongyi thieves have any tricks, they can't do anything to us."

What Donghuang Hou was afraid of was the Dongyi Imperial Master.

Now that Zhao Yun is here, the Marquis of Donghuang no longer has to worry about the Dongyi Imperial Master.

Without the threat of the Dongyi Imperial Master, who among the Dongyi army could do anything to defeat him, the Marquis of Donghuang.

Donghuang Hou and Zhao Yun took Baima Yicong directly out of the pass and ran towards Dongyi's camp.

In fact, Dong Huanghou already had some guesses in his mind.

When Donghuang Hou and Zhao Yun rushed to Dongyi Camp with Baima Yi Cong.

The entire Dongyi camp has become empty camps.

Except for some disguises using brackets to pretend to be Dongyi aliens, the entire camp was empty.

"These Dongyi thieves actually retreated?"

Donghuang Hou looked at the empty camp on horseback and said with raised eyebrows.

Sure enough, as he had just guessed, the Dongyi traitor retreated under the cover of darkness last night.

"Master Hou, do you want to chase me?"

A general of Donghuang Army asked Donghuang Hou.

Marquis Donghuang shook his head; "Although the Dongyi army has retreated, its strength still remains."

"Even if we catch up, we will destroy the Dongyi army."

"Besides, the Dongyi army has been away for who knows how long, so they may not be able to catch up."

"What's more, we have to be stationed at Dongyan Pass. If this is a trick by the Dongyi thieves to lure the tiger away from the mountain, wouldn't we just fall into the Dongyi thieves' trick if we go after it?"

Donghuang Hou said with thoughtful eyes.

Zhao Yun next to him did not speak.

Even if Zhao Yun wanted to chase and destroy the Dongyi army, he had no soldiers and horses, only three thousand white horses and loyal followers.

Although Baima Yicong is strong.

But it is a joke to think that you can destroy hundreds of thousands of Dongyi troops with just three thousand white horses.

The power of the Donghuang Army is in the hands of Donghuang Hou, and Zhao Yun cannot mobilize it.

If there was no Donghuang Army, even if Zhao Yun chased after him with three thousand white horses, he would only be able to kill a few more aliens, but he would not be able to destroy the Donghuang Army.

Besides, Zhao Yun also felt that what Donghuang Hou said was somewhat reasonable.

If the Marquis of Donghuang doesn't pursue him, then Zhao Yun can't say anything more.
