Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 591: Walking, retreating, collapsing, falling apart
"Report~~"

With a long tail sound, a rider galloped from the road ahead. His horse passed through the jungle, passed by a famous soldier, and reached the center of the army.

This is the heart of a huge army.

Wang Jun sat on the horse and looked at the rider who hurriedly dismounted and rushed over without even thinking about standing firm, his face became more and more gloomy.

At this time, some soldiers came over to stop him, but Wang Jun waved his hand to retreat and let the man come closer.

He naturally knew the origin of this person, this is the person he specially arranged to summon, looking at his appearance, it can be seen that something big happened on the front line again!
"what's up?"

Wang Jun, who was sitting on the horse and looking down from a high position, asked coldly. He had encountered too many bad things recently. His temper was very bad. He couldn't help scolding others if he said more than a few words. In order to Suppressing the anger, these words became shorter and shorter.

The man came quickly and arrived in front of Wang Jun, but he ignored the usual rules and blurted out urgent words: "General Qi, there are big changes in Jicheng! The Yuwen Department suffered a huge defeat and suffered heavy losses. Seven Five of the leaders of the clan have been defeated, and the remaining two are almost completely wiped out, Yuwen begs to be lost in the chaos!"

Fortunately, he also knew the sensitivity of this military situation, so he did not speak too loudly, but lowered his voice, trying to be heard only by Wang Jun, and at most by Wang Qian and other staff around him.

"What did you say?"

Wang Jun was stunned for a moment, and huge waves arose in his heart. He almost fell off his horse in a hurry.

"Tell me clearly!"

In the latter sentence, he almost yelled.

Hearing this news suddenly, the impact was huge. You must know that since Wang Jun got the news a day ago, he didn't even bother to let his soldiers and horses train well. He almost rushed all night just to reverse the situation——

As the news came one after another, it was an indisputable fact that the siege of Jicheng was broken. Not only did Goguryeo's soldiers and horses leave, but the company's Xianbei cavalry also returned early, and the remaining Duan soldiers , are also evacuating.

Under this situation, the only soldiers and horses outside Ji City are Wang Chang and Yu Wenbu. Among them, Wang Chang's vanguard force is limited in number. It is okay to expect him to fight a small group of enemy troops outside the city. A long-term siege of the city is not possible. far from enough.

In the end, he had to rely on Yuwen's men and horses. Wang Jun was counting on Yuwen's begging turtle to hold on for a while longer, waiting for him to lead his men over, re-encircle Murong Jicheng, and fight this battle to the end.

But the news coming now is like a bolt from the blue.

If even the Yuwen Department has been defeated miserably, then the encirclement of Thorny City will completely cease to exist. Even if he leads people there, the situation may not be able to turn around much, and he will fall into a trap.

Moreover, if Goguryeo has left, Duanbu Xianbei has withdrawn, and Yuwenbu has been defeated, then the four-party coalition has ceased to exist in name only. Even if it is in the past, what is the use?
Thinking of such terrible consequences, how could Wang Jun remain calm?
His moans even startled everyone.

The surrounding soldiers and some soldiers not far away all looked over at the sound, but soon turned their heads consciously. However, the soldiers were okay. After all, they had seen a lot, and they were all cautious. He himself turned his head and looked straight, observing the surroundings and guarding Wang Jun's safety, but those ordinary soldiers were not too aware. Although they did not dare to get too close due to their status and Wang Jun's authority, , but each of them was obviously absent-minded, and they had to take a look at Wang Jun from time to time.

But Wang Jun couldn't care about these details at all. He got off the horse and came to the messenger rider with three steps and two steps at a time. He stretched out his hand and grabbed the man's collar. His spine straightened, his muscles trembled, and he exploded with strength. He lifted the rider up into the air, brought his face close to him, and asked in a deep voice: "Tell me again, how is the battle situation in Thorn City?"

The man immediately cried and felt deeply aggrieved. He thought to himself that I was just a messenger. It wasn't me who had defeated the army of the Yuwen Department, so why did I need to carry the collar?

But he was also aware of Wang Jun's worries, so he had to endure the discomfort in his throat, and said: "General, I am just a messenger. The words General Wang asked me to deliver are just that. No matter how much more I say, I do not know!"

"You don't know? I don't know. What are you here for? Just want to tell me such a news? What use do you have!" Wang Jun is also quite restrained on weekdays. After all, he is the one who rules the two states. He knows that the one who is in charge should not be happy or angry. Shape comes from color, and it takes more people to figure out one's thoughts in order to be majestic. In the past, I also had the intention to maintain such an image.But when it came to the entire strategy, he didn't care much about it. He was a little angry, which made the rider who reported the news look pale, and the people around him looked at him sideways.

But at this moment, Wang drove over and tried to dissuade Wang Jun: "General, we are now less than two days away from Jicheng. If there are changes in Jicheng, we will not be able to return the favor." We need to investigate carefully, and our troops need to stop and trim themselves to prevent extraneous problems. In addition, it is not easy to talk about these military information in public."

After his reminder, Wang Jun realized that he had indeed gone too far. This kind of news should have been said in secret. Now, if it is openly discussed in public, the news will be spread to shake the morale of the army. .

Thinking like this, he only had to suppress the anxiety and anger in his heart and follow Wang Chen's suggestion. First, he sent someone to order the army to rest temporarily. Moreover, because of the urgency of the previous persecution, the army rushed all night, so that the whole army was stunned. Knowing that the military situation was raging, there was no hesitation at all. The whole army reached a consensus on this and moved towards the same goal.

As a result, they had just rested there and saw no enemies, let alone the battlefield. The propaganda in the army was still in good shape, but it suddenly stopped just after starting, which inevitably made people suspicious. In addition, the scene of the horse coming to report earlier , so various speculations inevitably spread among the military.

Even Wang Jun's gaffe was spread covertly and quickly among the military.

However, Wang Jun couldn't care less about finding someone to manage it. The most urgent task is to find out the situation on the battlefield as soon as possible.

But after a large tent was set up and separated from the foreign troops, Wang Jun hurriedly asked the messenger knight, but in the end he could not get any effective information.

This couldn't help but make Wang Jun even more annoyed. Fortunately, Wang Jun's spies could not help but draw their swords to greet the governors of the two states. Finally, another news came from the front line.

This intelligence spy did not arrive as quickly as the one reporting the news from the military. It was actually not a surprise. Military information must be delivered quickly. After all, in the current era, carrier pigeons are not yet widely used. What Wang Jun asked Wang Qian to master was independent of the military. An intelligence network may be able to understand everything quickly in normal times, but during this war, there is a deviation in timely transmission.

The person who came to report the news was also a relative of Wang Jun. Wang Li, a famous sect, was specially arranged by him to train with Wang Jun. In Wang Jun's view, this information work is ultimately controlled by his own family members. Hands, the most reassuring.

But Wang Jun doesn't have a good look towards Wang Li now, especially when he listens to Wang Li describing the situation on the battlefield——

"After Goguryeo left, Duanbu Xianbei also retreated. General Wang Chang immediately sent someone to stay there, but he couldn't make sense of Duan Wenyang at all. After this person withdrew with Duanbu's troops, Yuwenbu immediately divided his troops into others. door, but was entangled by that small group of Murong Han's men, and immediately after that, a group of Murong cavalry came out of the east gate with a lot of supplies, and they were about to escape..."

"Yes, if I were a member of Murong's tribe, I might break out of the encirclement and lead people away at this time. After all, there is still my army behind..." Wang Jun said this, and suddenly his heart moved, "You said that Yuwen's tribe was affected Seriously injured, could it be..."

Wang Li smiled bitterly and said: "Yes, it was the soldiers and horses that left the city that confused the people of the Yuwen Department. In fact, this army was just a bait to make the Yuwen Department relax their vigilance. Yuwen begged the turtle to lead the troops in person. He attacked on horseback, saying he wanted to annihilate Murong's tribe and turn the tide of the battle in one fell swoop, but he was ambushed!"

"Too impatient! He is too impatient!" Wang Jun looked like he hated iron and shook his head repeatedly. "At this time, even if you think Murong's tribe is going to break out, you shouldn't underestimate the enemy too much and use all your strength. , attacking in one fell swoop, I think Yuwen Qi Degui must have wanted to capture it with both hands, both to siege the city and to pursue it, but in the end neither side was able to do the job."

After listening to Wang Li's words, Wang Jun finally calmed down. He clearly realized that the Quartet Allied Forces had collapsed. The situation he was facing now was that the Murong tribe had escaped from the siege. Part of this tribe must have been transferred. After going out, the other part is still in the city. If he wants to continue marching, he will face a situation where his own troops have to face Murong's army alone!
As he was thinking about it, he suddenly felt a little confused. He sat on his seat and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

"General, do you still need to contact the Yuwen Department to recover Duan Department?" Wang rushed forward and asked tentatively. He was the only one who dared to disturb him now.

On the side, a lieutenant couldn't help but said: "We must let the people in that department know how powerful they are, punish them severely, and even the Goguryeo, we might as well destroy them!"

Wang Jun came back to his senses, shook his head and said: "Now is not the time to hold people responsible. Let's think about how to fight this war when it has reached this point, and whether we should fight..." While speaking, he paid attention to At that time, Wang Li hesitated to speak.

"What else did you say?"

Wang Li thought for a while, and then said: "General Wang Chang got the news that the defeat of the coalition forces has a deep relationship with Chen Zhi of that generation."
