Chapter 174 Want to cry without tears
Today is the holiday, and there will be no updates, and no one will watch it! Hehe remember to vote all the votes before midnight!
In the southeast corner of Miyun City, Xilin Academy is located there. It was originally a mountain, and the location was selected by Tianchou. It was naturally built according to the drawings provided by the system. This design will definitely not be bad. All the buildings are built around the mountains and are arranged in a staggered manner. There are also mountain springs and streams around it, which is already a pretty good view.
After Mr. Lin took over, he made a lot of changes, including a stone carving here, a pavilion there, planting trees, flowers, and raising fish in ponds. There are not many students in this academy now, but the scenery can be said to be beautiful. If Fang Zhiwen saw it, he would definitely suspect that Mr. Lin was pretending to be public and private, but in fact he was building a huge villa for himself.
At this moment, in the pavilion on the top of the mountain, several old men were cooking tea and chatting.
"Lao Lin, I didn't expect that you, an old guy, could even fool you into playing NPCs, and you actually created such a large villa group for you, awesome!"
"What is a villa group? This is the Academy, Xilin Academy. It's okay if you want to come and live there. No, the yard with the golden roof over there belongs to you, how about it?"
"You want us to work for you, right?"
"Tsk! Love will come or not. I have invited Zheng Xuan, Xun Shuang, Shen Tu Pan, Xiang Kai and Han Rong to give lectures at the beginning of next spring. How about it? Is it so powerful? Are you interested?"
"Hiss! Really fake? You guy isn't mean to cheat us!"
Old Man Lin smiled cunningly without saying anything. He picked up the teacup in front of him and sniffed it. The fragrance filled his nose and his chest, his bones were lighter. He squinted his eyes and sighed comfortably.
Old Man Lin's artificiality caused the elderly around him to laugh. They had been experiencing Old Man Lin's cunning for a long time, but Old Man Lin was disdainful of lying. The string of names just now was enough to make these old people who were keen on ancient Chinese culture consider the suggestions that Old Man Lin asked them to stay.
"I said Lao Lin, what else is there in your place besides the scenery and the air? Look, as soon as you leave the gate of this academy, you will either be a merchant or a military general outside. This is obviously not suitable for academic research, right?"
"Haha. You haven't learned enough yet! I came here because it is close to the grassland. Do you want to go and see the grassland? Do you want to ride a horse on the grassland? Do you want to lead the cavalry of the brigade of the cavalry to experience the heroic spirit of the Thousand Cavalry and Hiraoka? Do you want to feel the thrilling battle of tens of thousands of cavalrymen on the spot?"
"I think! I really want to! But our old bones..."
"Haha... idiot, this is a game, the body is data. It's very strong. If you are still interested, it's OK to have seven times a night!"
"Well....."
"Ha ha......"
"Is it really OK? I mean seven times a night?"
"I'll go! You are really interested!"
....................................................................................................
Tadun received two bad news in the morning. The first was that the siege under Fengning City failed yesterday and lost more than 30,000 soldiers. It was a heavy loss, but this result was basically within Tadun's expectations. In addition to the large number of casualties, the result was barely acceptable.
As for another bad news, it came from the camp on the west side of the forest sea. Last night, fires surged into the sky in the east camp. The camp on the west side was worried that the camp on the east side would be attacked, so it sent a support team of 6,000 people. However, by dawn, no news was heard from the support team. The grain collection team sent a few days ago also had no news, and there was no response to sending messages to the camp on the east side.
When the news came, Tadun felt that he was cold from the inside to the outside. The camp was a wooden camp. Even if the Han army had strong attack power and was not suitable for cavalry attacks at night, it would have to conquer the camp overnight and to divide the troops to eat up thousands of cavalrymen to support in the future. So how many available soldiers are there in Fang Zhiwen's hands? And where did these soldiers come from?
Could it be that from beginning to end, this ten thousand miles of pursuit was a huge trap. Fang Zhiwen had ambushed his troops near the forest and just waiting for him to fall into the trap? Thinking of this, Tadun's mind was robbed. It was so frustrating to confront such an opponent. What's even more hateful is that he has completely fallen into the opponent's trap.
A deep sense of powerlessness instantly spread to Tadun's whole body. He suddenly felt that his strength seemed to have been taken away, and he was a little weak. Looking at the soldiers who were struggling forward in front of him, these steadfast subordinates were still moving towards the trap set by their opponents. Thinking about it, Tadun felt discouraged and lazy.
He closed his eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and Tadun straightened his waist to encourage himself. After all, he was not alone, and there were still tens of thousands of soldiers with him. Even if this was a huge trap arranged by his opponent, even if it was no longer to eliminate this heart-wrenching opponent, even if it was no longer to unify Wuhuan, just to allow these tens of thousands of soldiers to return to the Wuhuan grassland alive, even if he could only take a look, Tadun must cheer up for this small purpose.
"Warriors, hurry up! The abominable enemy is fighting our brothers right in front! Let's use the scimitar in our hands and the seated horse to smash them!"
"Roar!Roar!"
The roars of the soldiers shocked the snow on the trees. Fortunately, it was flat here, otherwise there would have been another avalanche. Tadun breathed a little relieved, feeling that he was better, but he was a little weak in his heart.
The gray-brown flying eagle in "Plala" looked so hateful. Tadun used a trembling hand to remove the message tube on the flying eagle's feet, twisted it a few times before opening it, slowly unfolding the thin sheepskin inside. Tadun's eyes suddenly shrank, and then expanded, with a strange expression on his face, and he was stunned.
"Master.Master..."
"Uh, what, oh... Let the soldiers fix it on the spot and restore their physical strength. The battle will come at any time."
Tadun was awakened and looked carefully at the sheepskin letter in his hand again, and responded absent-mindedly.
"King..."
Tadun looked at the several trusted generals around him, raised the parchment in his hand, opened his mouth, but did not make any sound. After a while, he let out a heavy sigh and said, "Dongdaying was captured, and the troops heading to the Xidaying to respond were also annihilated. The Han army and Fang Zhiwen are besieging Xidaying. There is no news about the troops collecting grain. There is more than 4,000 Han army troops besieging Xidaying. Well, that's all."
"King! This is impossible. Even if he has five thousand people. Even if he can annihilate our grain-collecting troops by surprise, it is impossible to attack Dongdaying and annihilate ten thousand with five thousand. I don't believe it! There must be a problem here."
"Taji, don't the king know this? Will the soldiers stationed in Dongdaying lie?"
"Unless Fang Zhiwen has more than this person in his hands, he wants to do this. How can he not have 30,000 or 20,000 people... King, did this Fang Zhiwen put the ambush here early in the morning? This...This..."
"It's too incredible, isn't it?" Tadun looked at the astonishment and horror on his subordinate general's face, and suddenly felt like he was lifting his burden. Perhaps some things were really not something that one person could bear, including the future of Wuhuan.
“No…No…”
No one is willing to believe this guess, because once this guess is true, that is to say, the tens of thousands of soldiers in the forest and sea have fallen into a huge trap, and suddenly they go from hunters chasing prey to prey that falls into traps. This idea is indeed not easy to change.
However, if you want to continue to live and escape from this deep trap, you must acknowledge this in your mind, recognize the reality, and make the right choice.
"King, what you said just now will have a fight, is that the other party will enter the forest sea again to attack us?"
"Well, after the continuous battles, even if our warriors failed, I believe that they also caused huge casualties to the damn Han people. Therefore, he might be a little helpless to quickly win the Xidaying, and our team became the key to his plan to succeed or fail."
"Then we should speed up! Why do we have to stop and rest instead?"
"Stop and rest is to speed up the journey. Don't forget that we may immediately put into battle after we arrive. How can we do this without sufficient energy? I guess that Fang Zhiwen will send a harassing team to delay our actions. Once the harassing team is discovered, Taji, you lead two thousand warriors to entangle them for me. We must quickly get rid of these entanglements and go straight to Xidaying. If we can bite the Han people in time, we may be able to turn defeat into victory and reverse the entire situation. But if the Xidaying is also captured, our 20,000 people will immediately fall into a state of food and grass. Even if there are only a few thousand people left on the other side, we only need to wait for us to starve to death on the road, and even save battle."
"We understand, king!"
Tadun glanced at the general. These subordinates who had followed him for many years were loyal to him. But he didn't know that this hurdle was still unbeatable. He shook his head bitterly, and Tadun barely smiled and said:
"Haha, every time we go into battle, everyone will lose their lives at any time. Every time we go to battle, it is a risk of life or death. Even if the situation we face this time is very dangerous, it is nothing more than life or death. Remember, if you want to survive, believe in the knife in your hand, believe in the horse you step down, and believe in the brothers around you. Apart from that, we can only pray to the gods, and there is no need to think about anything else. Our relatives are still waiting for us to go home on the Wuhuan prairie. Everyone, we can only move forward and there is no way out."
"I wish to drive for the king, but I only die!"
"Okay, block the news, don't spread these contents again."
"promise!"
Tadun looked up and through the gaps between the trees, he found that the clouds in the sky began to condense, and the weather seemed to be deteriorating again. If it was snowing heavily, he might be trapped in the forest. He could only watch the Xidaying being destroyed, and then watch his soldiers die of starvation. Is it going to be the god of my life?!
No! This definitely doesn't work! (..)
