Volume 5 War and Peace Chapter 40 Shi Cundao’s Choice

I was by his side when Dan Tailang spoke, but I didn't expect to stop him. When I realized it, it was too late. I shouldn't have told him to say this.

The Heijis army was in a big uproar and had the intention of rushing up to steal people. Zhang Danhu directed the Feifeng Army to intercept them from both sides. Dan Tailang said loudly again: "Let you retreat and retreat, don't think about me, this is an order!"

The Feifeng Army had 20,000 troops in the middle, and Dan Tailang was farther and farther away from his subordinates. The Heijis soldiers looked at the old general with a gloomy expression, knowing that it would be useless to be with them, so they had to retreat north.

I felt quite unbearable and subconsciously said, "It seems that you Heijis people also have feelings."

Tan Tai Lang said: "That's natural."

I couldn't help but say, "General Dan Tai, there is a saying that I have always wanted to ask you Heijis - why do you have to destroy the Federation continent and get there soon? Don't you have to die?"

Tan Tai Lang said: "What do you say about Shi Cundao?"

I said, "I'll just ask you now."

Dan Tai Lang said lightly: "As generals, it is the duty to serve the country in the east and west. Shi Cundao and Zhao Fanghua are the same. They don't come to attack me Heijis, but they are not strong enough. Let them be in a place with me Heijis. Do you think they are willing to be fair? I only answer you in one sentence: If the two continents are not unified, there will never be peace."

I was speechless, and Shi Cundao said this sentence.

Zhang Danhu repelled the enemy. When he learned that we had captured Dan Tailang, he was surprised and happy and said, "Let's go and tell the general this good news. She has not seen the fire for a long time and thought something happened to you."

Su Jing said: "General Zhang, there is a battalion of sisters behind us who are probably trapped in order to cover us, and we have to trouble you to lead troops to rescue them."

Zhang Danhu patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Su, Lao Zhang will go now."

Zhang Danhu went to save the person, and we finally met with our mother smoothly. Ma Jing missed how we found the grain and grass camp but didn't do it. He accidentally discovered what Dan Tailang had done in detail. His mother said, "You did a good job. Although you didn't burn the enemy's food and grass, capturing the opponent's head coach Ma Jing is still the first thing to do."

Ma Jing hurriedly dismounted and knelt down and said, "Thank you, General, but I didn't do anything in a humble position. We can only escape by relying on Lord Su on the way." Seeing me, she kept curling her lips and smiled, "Of course, Shi Jianshen also put a lot of efforts."

My mother smiled and said, "Their credit is calculated separately. You can go and rest for a while."

Dan Tailang was blindfolded and raised his head and said, "Is it Zhao Fanghua? I have long admired your name."

My mother signaled her subordinates to take off his scarf and bowed slightly, "General Dan Tai, don't be polite. When you became famous, I was just a pawn. I should pay my respects to my seniors."

Tan Tai Lang said calmly: "I dare not, there are talented people in the world. Isn't this old guy just a waste in your hands?"

My mother just smiled and stopped talking.

Only then did I have the time to ask General Wang and others who we met halfway. It turned out that they were from the Zhongzi Army of the Left Army. Guo Dingyuan sent to the south to block the central part of Wusi. General Wang and his team were stationed in Hong Lie Army. Two other troops were also working together to fight with them. After blocking the enemy for an hour and a half, they were withdrawing the defense according to the customs. General Wang and his troops came to find the large army, but unexpectedly they met us halfway.

I asked him, "Can you still stand it?"

General Wang said with a look of distress: "When you go back to the Major General, you can hold on, but the losses are heavy. Wu Sizhong chased us and bite us. The only ones who have 9,000 people in our army have retreated."

I looked around and said, "Where is General Guo Dingyuan?"

My mother said, "He brought the cavalry of the Left Army to cooperate with the Feifeng Army on the front line." My mother said to General Wang apologetically: "Sir, I'm sorry for letting my brothers suffer, but our Feifeng Army suffered a lot, otherwise our army would have been responsible for the support."

General Wang sighed, "It is precisely because of this that the brothers have no complaints..." As soon as he said this, a loud rumbling sound suddenly came from the north, followed by a series of horse neighing and people screaming. After a while, the sound of soldiers and iron intersecting sounded, and all the words Wang said afterwards were covered up.

My mother looked north and calmly said as usual: "It's nothing, the Heigis army launched a counterattack again, and our people should be able to deal with it."

I asked in a low voice, "What's going on now?"

My mother said, "We have now reached Dan Tai Lang's central army camp. The troops in the south have collapsed. At least 500,000 people are in chaos with no leader. The commander in the north is Zhang Xiqiao, and there are still 200,000 main forces under his command. The fierce attack just now is probably the reaction after learning about Dan Tai Lang's capture."

I said, "What are we doing next?"

My mother pulled me aside and said, "I want to take advantage of the opportunity of Dan Tailang being captured. Heijis's army's morale was shaken and completely eliminated the enemy outside Xinzhou City. However, it is not possible to rely on the Feifeng Army and your more than 100,000 left-wing army alone. Sooner or later, the left-wing army will not be able to withstand it. Feifeng Army is not strong enough, and can only mess up the enemy's hinterland and be unable to encircle and annihilate it. In addition, if Qin Yiwu wants to come outside Lizhou City at this time, then we will become a risk of stealing chickens but losing rice, but will be in danger of annihilation of the entire army."

I hurriedly said, "What should I do?"

"It depends on Shi Cundao now. It would be easier if he could send Xinzhou soldiers to do anything."

I waved my hands repeatedly and said, "You're so sad. The soldiers in Fuzhou were all deceived and deceived me. Shi Cundao would never send a soldier."

My mother grabbed my hand and said, "Think about a solution!"

"There's no way. I know this old man too well. He has no sincerity in forming an alliance. He is not obedient. He is afraid that he will gloat in the Feifeng Army when it is in trouble."

My mother said, "But there are your left army outside the city. Fuzhou has become an empty city. He wants to let Heijis turn the situation around. Not only will the 130,000 left army be eaten, but Fuzhou will also be lost."

I sighed and said, "What if he doesn't want it if he fights with the Left Army and Fuzhou? At that time, he will just push his mistakes to the Kingdom of Women. Feifeng Army and Heijis will both suffer losses. They will have to take the blame and settle the general account. This result is completely acceptable to Shi Cundao."

My mother looked at me with admiration and said, "You think about the problem is much more mature than in the past."

"Hey, who made me be his grandson for so long? I don't say that Shi Cundao is so insidious. I know his military philosophy very well. I will never fight unsure of battles and seek victory while steadily. But I will never be ruthless when I should be cruel. The old man is old. Your current approach is indeed too crazy for him."

My mother said, "Okay, even if Feifeng Army and Left Army can ignore it, what about you? Will he be willing to send troops for you?"

I thought for a long time and only eight words appeared: "It's 80% unwilling to do so, I can only try."

"Then try it." My mother looked up at the sky and said quietly, "I hope he will, otherwise I will become a sinner in the Kingdom of Women."

I shouted: "Zhang Shilei!"

Zhang Shilei hurriedly urged the horse to come over: "Here! The young master told me."

I said, "I will give you an important task. You should immediately take someone to Xinzhou to see my grandfather and ask him to send troops to support him quickly."

Zhang Shilei stammered: "Do you want to tell the original words to the old marshal?"

"right."

Zhang Shilei reminded me tactfully: "Young Master, you are ordering the old marshal."

"It's just an order. Just tell him that if he wants to see me, his grandson, he will send troops immediately. You say that I have cut it into a blood gourd."

Zhang Shilei said, "Who in the world has this ability? Besides, isn't this young master cursing?"

I said, "Anyway, the more you say I am, the better. If this matter becomes the young master, I will give you a commander!"

Zhang Shilei said seriously: "I don't care about being an official, but..." He glanced at his mother and lowered his voice, "But I think General Zhao is really a bit risky to do this. I think the best way now is to ask her to retreat to Xinzhou with us, and then change the route to Fuzhou. Dan Tailang's 800,000 troops were all broken up by us. It is said that he should stop when he sees it. Why bother to be right?"

I glared and said, "Stop talking nonsense, just go if you want to go. You must dare to talk nonsense to the marshal. I'll cut you off!"

Zhang Shilei rarely saw me really getting angry, so he had to say, "Yes."

My mother said, "You can take Dan Tai Lang to Xinzhou together. It is really inconvenient to bring such an embarrassing person in the chaos."

Zhang Shilei was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, General." He understood that his mother was rewarding him with a great contribution. He escorted the old man back to Xinzhou. Shi Cundao's reward would definitely not be too small. Besides, he personally participated in this operation. In fact, capturing Dan Tailang alive was the power of Feifeng Army and Su Jing. In theory, there was no reason for the Kingdom of Women to hand over such a large spoil to the Hong Lie Empire.

My mother said to Zhang Shilei: "There should be no enemy troops along the way to Xinzhou. Go and go back..."

I jerked and said, "If grandpa doesn't agree to send troops, you don't have to come back."

Zhang Shilei didn't take me as a lie and asked his mother: "What should I do if someone comes to rob Dan Tai Lang?"

Dan Tai Lang said anxiously: "This is simple, kill me."

My mother said calmly: "I have to do this, remember that before Dan Tai Lang's tribe was broken, he must not be robbed back!"

Zhang Shilei responded and prepared to set off with his people. Before leaving, he said to me: "Young Master, take care of yourself. If the old marshal refuses to send troops, I will come back and die with you." After that, he left without waiting for me to reply.

My mother said, "These guards have a lot of feelings for you."

"Yes, we fought a few battles together, which is considered a life-and-death friendship." After I said that, I thought to myself, "I am the same with the Shi family. Although this is fake for me, it is hard to say about feelings. Our only hope now is that Shi Cundao cares about family affection and forces him to send troops."

After Zhang Shilei took Dan Tai Lang away, his mother commanded the Feifeng Army to continue attacking north. There was also the 200,000 Heijis army in Zhangxiqiao, which had been waiting for a long time. Since the Feifeng Army launched a raid in the early morning, it has been around the evening, and it has been 12 hours. These girls have been running around and fighting without a moment of rest. However, my mother also has difficulties. She must let the army keep changing locations in Heijis' camp and attacking the east and west. These 200,000 people are like rabbits trapped in the mud. Only by running around can they not be trapped. Dan Tailang's 800,000 people suffer losses and are ineffective joint combat. They are eroded by the Feifeng Army. If they remain in a place, there will be a catastrophe.

Fortunately, the Feifeng Army can fully streamline the government. My mother's gesture, a word, like a finger, a feint attack, and a cover, all of them are perfect. The Heiges Army is like catching a flying mouse in her bedroom. She cannot consulate at every turn and achieve twice the result. She gradually falls into a collapse. Moreover, the haze of Dan Tailang's capture slowly enveloped the army. The middle-level generals were dissatisfied with each other, the lonely army could not be rescued, and the relatively complete army did not dare to leave the territory without permission and only seek self-protection. These gave the Feifeng Army an opportunity to take advantage of it.

Along the way, there were large corpses exposed to the wilderness, including Heijis, Hong Lie Empire, and Feifeng Army. There were wounded soldiers wailing from time to time in the pile of dead people. Feifeng Army had a special rescue team, but they also had no choice but to help. They were not allowed to encounter minor injuries or hope for treatment. The most fear was the kind of comrades who were inactive but were sensible. Although they couldn't bear to save them, they wanted to save them but had no choice but to comfort them. The girls could only hold their hands and whisper until they died. I was filled with smoke everywhere. The sound of fighting in the distance was higher than a moment, but they were all crying around me. Before I knew it, I felt a cold sweat in my palm. This was the most tragic battle I had ever seen since I came to the Federal Continent.

At this time, a war report came from the front, saying that it was very slow to face the fierce resistance of Zhangxiqiao's troops.

Zhang Danhu, who had returned to the team, looked north and murmured: "Sisters can't beat you..."

My mother said bluntly: "Let Li Wei lead her spear team to push up and replace Zhao Shanling with half a stick of incense. After half a stick of incense, he couldn't rush in and let Zhao Shanling come to see him!"

Zhang Danhu said anxiously: "General, let me go!"

My mother said, "Your task now is to help me build my strength. If Shi Cundao really wants to die and refuse to save us, we will break through the encirclement and fall on you."

Zhang Danhu said: "I think the old guy surnamed Shi will definitely not send troops anymore. Let's make a fuss early on, General!"

My mother said, "Tell me the order, and turn around immediately after Zhao Shanling rushes to the front of Zhangxi Bridge, and the entire army will return to the same route and kill you again."

"Ah?" Zhang Danhu was shocked.

At this moment, I was anxious and said, "Mom, are you crazy?"

My mother said, "Heijis army would never expect that we would kill a retaliation. If we kill to Wusi Zhongying, Shicundao, and before we send troops, we will turn to the Black Forest and detour back to the Kingdom of Women. From then on, we will die to form an alliance with Hong Lie." My mother held my hand and whispered, "You can go back with my mother at that time. We will not do this gray grandson anymore. Whether the Hong Lie Empire dies or lives, it has nothing to do with my Kingdom of Women."

After hearing this sentence, I felt a little relieved. Finally, it was time to have a result. I nodded and said, "Okay!"

"Let's go, I'll go to supervise the battle myself!" My mother urged the horse to come to the front of the army. At this moment, Li Wei had already taken Zhao Shanling to rush up. Zhao Shanling was wrapping up his wounds. Seeing the general coming in person, he couldn't help but feel anxious and ashamed: "I'm incompetent. I won't rush in next time. I don't need the general to do it. I'll die in their formation!"

My mother pulled Zhao Shanling's arm and wrapped her wounds in her heart, and said softly: "I know it's not your fault. We all like sisters in private, but in private, the army is in military, if you can't take it down, the morale of the army will inevitably change. I can only make a gesture, don't worry, when you really can't get it, I'll let Zhang Danhu help you."

Zhao Shanling was instead aroused and said, "No! The general insisted on doing this, I will die in front of your horse now!" I was very moved. The women in this country of Women not only did not worse than men when fighting wars, but also more fierce than that.

Zhang Xiqiao was guarding the northern line on this day, and all he heard was the enemy's power. Dan Tailang asked him to take over the command. Heijis' army was in chaos. He naturally had no way to start. Now he only wanted to defend the last position, so he did not dare to underestimate the enemy at all. He built a line of defense with stone sacks in front of the front, and then laid 50,000 infantry, and personally led the remaining troops to suppress the position. He was ready to treat the Feifeng Army as an unprecedented strong enemy.

Li Wei jumped into the enemy formation first, and instantly swung his sword and cut out a small open space. Hundreds of people surrounded her and were so overwhelmed by her single sword that she could not breathe. Each sword was swung out with thunder.

My mother said, "Master Kumei's high footsteps are indeed extraordinary." It turned out that Li Wei was also Kumei's disciple.

It’s a pity that although Li Wei’s martial arts skills were high, her subordinates were unable to follow up for a long time, and the two sides started a fight in front of the position.

Ku Mei was so excited that she slapped Su Jing and said, "Will we master and apprentice go and fight for a while?"
