The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 1824 Retreat across the board
Soon, the soldiers of the Tianping Army also gave up their attack on the camp of Xiangguo Temple and retreated towards the south gate of the city.

The Yuan army from Xiangguo Temple also chased them out, trying to bite the tail of the Tianping army.

The situation in the southern part of the city deteriorated a lot in an instant.

The scouts of the Tianli Army went to the barracks in the city and finally found Wen Qi who was still commanding the army to attack. When they reported that the Tianli Army had no support and retreated, Wen Qi's eyes turned red instantly.

He was furious, his eyes widened, and he roared, "Withdraw? Who told him to withdraw?"

In his rage, he didn't even care that Yu Xingwen was much older than him.After all, he is the commander of this battle and the supreme commander of all Song armies here.

The scout lowered his head and replied: "The Yuan army came from the east and west sides to encircle us. If we don't withdraw, we will all die inside..."

"..."

Wen Qi stared and wanted to say something more, but was grabbed by Du Yuhou of the Tiangang Army next to him.

Marquis Du Yu waved his hand and said to the scouts: "Okay, we already know, you go down! Let President Yu Xingwen do his best to keep the soldiers alive."

The scout ran outside.

Wen Qi said to Du Yuhou, "What are you doing?"

Du Yuhou shook his head and sighed, "It can't be blamed on President Yu Xingwen. The sky is so bright that it is inevitable for the Yuan army to find out that we are false. Even if the Tianli army does not withdraw, other troops will always be forced to Retreat. Whether we retreat or not is not up to us, but whether the Yuan troops in the battalion will come out of the battalion... As long as they come out, who can stop them based on the strength of our armies alone? No matter the cost How long can we delay if we resist to the end?"

He looked deeply at Wen Qi, "President Du President, I suggest that you order the entire army to retreat. We are afraid that we will not be able to win this battle. If we continue to fight, we may not even be able to make a profit."

Wen Qi remained silent.

In fact, he might not understand what Du Yuhou said.He knew very well that as long as the sky brightened, there would be no chance of winning this tough battle.

It was only when the sky was still dark that there was hope at the barracks in the city, so he didn't order the whole army to retreat.

Now it seems that it is too late after all.

He joined forces with Tiangang Army, Lin'an Mansion Garrison Army, and Luzhou Mansion Garrison Army, but they couldn't eat up the barracks in the city quickly. His hope was already shattered.

Now there is no chance to concentrate superior forces to defeat them one by one.

The Yuan army came out of the camp, and the reality has been revealed, and the situation in Kaifeng Mansion will inevitably change greatly.

If the Yuan army in the city launches a counterattack across the board, with the strength of the Jiankang Military Region, it is definitely not an opponent.Unless it is a guerrilla fight with the Yuan army in the city.

But this is not their base, but the Kaifeng mansion that has always been occupied by the Yuan army.How could this guerrilla fight?
Wen Qi covered his face, pondered for a long time, then tilted his head and asked Du Yuhou, "What time is it?"

Du Yuhou replied, "Zisi has just passed."

Wen Qidian nodded, and said to the scouts beside him: "Send Tianying, Tianfu, and Tianman troops to retreat as quickly as possible! Wherever you can, retreat!"

The Yuan army in the southern part of the city has already come out of the camp, so it may not be the best place to retreat.As long as the yuan army forms a defensive line here, it may be dragged to death inside.

Therefore, he did not plan to concentrate his forces to retreat from the south gate.

Anyway, by this time, many of the Yuan troops who had previously guarded the city walls of Kaifeng Mansion had also joined the battle.It doesn't make much difference where you withdraw from.

Whether they can withdraw or not depends on the impromptu performance of the generals of each army and their luck.

Sometimes it is harder to withdraw than to attack.

A scout led the way and ran away.

Wen Qi ordered the scouts to notify Hou Wuyou and the others to leave the city.

Now that they are planning to retreat, there is no need for Hou Wuyou and the others to continue guarding outside the government office.What will happen in Kaifeng Mansion later, it is safe to let Hou Wuyou and the others follow the army out of Kaifeng Mansion.

As soon as the scouts left, Fu Junneng and the others also came back.

Fu Jun asked someone to return to Wen Qi with his back on his back, "President Du President, we are back. Of the 600 people, only... 63 people remain."

Wen Qi patted him on the shoulder, looked at his leg injury, nodded and said: "Thank you, go down and recuperate!"

Fu Junneng was carried down, and a military attendant rushed to help him treat the wound.

After Wen Qi left, he also issued an order for the entire army to retreat.Only the main force confronting the Yuan army head-on will not withdraw for the time being, and wait for the special team inside to come out.

Although it is said that the military camp has an advantage in this city, since the entire Kaifeng Mansion cannot be taken down, there is no need to continue to fight here.

The military camp in this city doesn't have much meaning.With the current situation, at most it can last until all the Yuan troops in the barracks in the city are wiped out, and the Yuan army will definitely have reinforcements arriving.

At that time, the Tiangang Army, the garrison of Lin'an Mansion, and the garrison of Luzhou are all likely to be surrounded to death, which is not worth the candle.

……

Time passed in a blink of an eye.

The Yuan troops in the Taichang Temple camp and Xiangguo Temple camp were still chasing the Tianli Army and Tianping Army, and Yu Xingwen and Lu Yuwen were also willing to take these Yuan troops around in circles.

But it is estimated that these Yuan troops are about to come to their senses.

Some scouts have already come to the military camp in the city to inquire.

Fortunately, by this time, almost all the special teams fighting in the depths of the camp had returned after seeing Ling Jian.

Wen Qi issued an order for the entire army to retreat.

The Tiangang Army, the garrison of Lin'an Mansion, and the garrison of Luzhou Mansion completely abandoned their positions in the barracks in the city, and retreated in the direction of Wangyang Gate.

At this point, all the troops of the Jiankang Military Region in Kaifeng Funan City have all begun to retreat.

This battle against Kaifeng Mansion can be declared a failure in advance.

In the east and west of the city, the Tianying army and the Tianfu army also gave up their attacks before Wen Qi and the others retreated, and retreated towards the east gate and west gate of the city respectively.

In fact, they had already confronted the Yuan army defenders on these two city gates last night.

It was only because the Yuan troops in the east and west of the city were not elite, and their strength was not large, and the Yuan troops in the barracks did not come out, so it did not cause any trouble to the Tianying and Tianfu troops.

After paying a lot of price in the confrontation with the forbidden army, these guys who were originally the defenders of the Kaifeng mansion with little combat effectiveness to speak of withdrew.The whole night after that was honest.

They probably knew the gap between themselves and the Song Army, and at the same time, they were not necessarily willing to work hard for the Yuan Dynasty.

But at this moment, when Tianli Army and Tianping Army were about to withdraw, these guys appeared again.Their lieutenant generals are best at judging the situation like this.

If you don't stop these Song troops, you will be charged with passively fighting.Look, always have to do it.

Moreover, there must be a reason for these Song troops to withdraw suddenly.If they made some military exploits by stopping them, it would be even more beneficial.
