Chapter 510 Change of formation
The situation on the Ever-Victorious Army Yun Yi's side is exactly the same as that on Wang Biqing's side.
When the troops led by Amir attacked like a storm, Yun Yi's army was immediately thrown into chaos.
The soldiers, who had originally been determined to fight, were caught off guard by the sudden attack and were unable to organize an effective counterattack.
In the tent, Yun Yi was preparing to enjoy breakfast when he suddenly heard deafening shouts and cries of killing coming from outside.
His face suddenly changed, he hurriedly put down the dishes in his hands and rushed out to check the situation.
The camp was filled with soldiers fleeing in panic, shouting and screaming. In the distance, Amir's troops surged towards them like a black tide, unstoppable.
Yun Yi secretly thought that something was wrong and immediately shouted loudly: "Hold steady! Don't panic! All camps quickly assemble and prepare to meet the enemy!"
However, in this chaotic situation, his voice was quickly drowned out by the noise.
The soldiers were in a panic and many of them were dispersed by Amir's troops before they even had time to pick up their weapons.
Yun Yi watched helplessly as his defenses quickly collapsed, feeling extremely anxious.
At this moment, a messenger came running in breathlessly and reported in panic: "General, General Wang Biqing has retreated!"
When Yun Yi heard this, his heart sank, knowing that the situation was hopeless.
If Wang Biqing's team withdrew, his side would be isolated and helpless and would be unable to resist the attack of the Huns.
In desperation, he had to grit his teeth and give the order to retreat: "The entire army retreats! Do not fight any longer!"
The main purpose of the Huns' raid was actually to seize food, and they had no intention of completely annihilating the enemy.
After successfully occupying the camps of the Jin Army and the Ever-Victorious Army, they were pleasantly surprised to find that a lot of food had been confiscated in the camps, and a large number of artillery and other weapons were left behind.
Looking at the mountains of food and brand new weapons, the soldiers' faces were filled with excited smiles.
The original plan was for the Hun soldiers to just leave with the food on their backs.
But at this time, they found that there were many carriages and a small number of war horses parked in the military camp.
Yuwen Zhou and Amir looked at each other and came up with an idea.
Yuwen Zhou waved his hand and said, "Since we have these means of transportation, let's completely remove them! Load everything we can take away onto the carriages!"
Everyone responded, and for a moment, the camp was bustling with activity, with soldiers busy loading food and weapons onto the carriages.
Yuwen Zhou, Amir and others returned to the city with a full load of spoils and equipment.
Gaddafi, standing on the city wall, saw the crowd from afar and a happy smile suddenly appeared on his face. He quickly walked down the city wall to greet the crowd.
At this moment, a soldier came running up and reported: "Chief, a messenger has come from Huai County and specifically wants to see you."
Gaddafi was confused and asked casually, "What's going on?" Then he strode towards the messenger.
When the messenger saw Gaddafi, he respectfully handed the letter to him with both hands, but did not say anything.
Gaddafi took the letter, opened it quickly and read it carefully.
The content of the letter was actually very simple. On the one hand, it asked about the battle situation in Jinzhou, and on the other hand, it entrusted Gaddafi as the supreme commander of Jinzhou.
Gulizar was very worried about the situation in Jinzhou at this time, so he wrote this letter specifically.
After reading the letter, Gaddafi summoned Yuwen Zhou and Amir, raised the letter in his hand, and asked, "The leader asked me to manage Jinzhou. What do you want to say about this?"
Although Amir was from Jiaozan, they were both Huns. In this situation, he knew that only by joining forces with Gaddafi could they deal with the situation together, so he expressed his support without hesitation.
After this battle, Yuwen Zhou realized that it was impossible to take these slaves away.
But he had to go, because Yu Wenhua had agreed with him to cross the river to develop, and military orders were like mountains, so he had to obey.
Yuwen Zhou said helplessly, "My commander has given orders that we must cross the river. I have to obey military orders."
When Gaddafi heard Yuwen Zhou say this, he felt helpless.
He really wanted to force Yuwen Zhou to stay, but he was worried that it would cause unnecessary disputes. After all, they were still allies on the surface.
Then he turned to Amir and asked, "What do you mean?"
Amir knew that Gaddafi was still fighting in Huai County and would definitely need his support, so he said firmly: "We are of the same blood. Naturally, we must defend Jinzhou and wait for the leader to return."
With Amir's support, Gaddafi was emboldened and said to Yuwen Zhou, "Originally, we formed an alliance and marched south for our own benefit. But you have the general's order, and I cannot force you to stay. Please go."
Upon hearing this, Yuwen Zhou was delighted and immediately stood up to say goodbye.
Seeing this, Gaddafi said again: "Can you keep your 2,000 men? Don't worry, I will give you another 2,000 slave soldiers."
As he spoke, he reached out and gently patted Yuwen Zhou's shoulder, saying sincerely, "You know, we really need these brothers to defend the city now. Do you think it's feasible?"
Yuwen Zhou knew that Gaddafi's move was just to keep the two thousand people under the pretext that they needed weapons to defend the city.
But seeing that Gaddafi was adding more men to his staff, he felt too embarrassed to refuse and had to pretend to agree cheerfully: "Okay! Since you've asked, I can't refuse this favor."
"Okay, when I go back I will definitely return these people intact," Gaddafi promised solemnly.
Yuwen Zhou felt that there was no point in delaying any further, so he walked out of Gaddafi's tent and hurried away with his guards.
Amir looked at Yuwen Zhou's departing back and couldn't help but spit on the ground, cursing, "What the hell? We're all fighting to the death here, and they only know how to take advantage."
Gaddafi smiled and said, "Well, stop complaining. We now have more captured weapons and enough food to last ten days."
Go back and train the people you have, and if you perform well, you can directly deregister the slaves and incorporate them into our army."
Gaddafi used their usual reward mechanism for slaves and spoke meaningfully to Amir.
Amir nodded, indicating that he understood what Gaddafi meant.
……
On the other side, the messenger sent by Gulizar returned soon and brought back the news that Gaddafi was in Jinzhou.
Gulizar was very happy when he learned that the situation in Jinzhou was stable.
He turned to the people around him and asked, "How many reserve troops are left?"
The one who answered him was the chief of the guards beside him. The chief said respectfully: "Your Highness, excluding the guards, we still have 12,000 people."
Gulizar thought for a moment and said, "Send all these people out today and have them support the troops at the South Gate. At the same time, order Luo Haiqing to hold on for a while and withdraw tomorrow."
Although the chief of the guards did not understand Gulizar's intention, he did not ask any questions and just carried out the order as military orders were like mountains.
At this time, Jiao Zan was fighting an extremely hard battle at the South Gate. Facing the enemy's stubborn resistance, his team suffered heavy losses.
Just when he felt a little overwhelmed, more than 10,000 reinforcements arrived.
Following Gulzar's instructions, Jiao Zan immediately organized a lane-clearing operation. He brandished his long sword and shouted, "Brothers, reinforcements are here! Follow me and drive the enemy out!"
The soldiers were encouraged and their morale was boosted, and they followed Jiao Zan and marched forward bravely.
Ren Chaohui's side was already on the verge of collapse, and faced with Jiao Zan's sudden counterattack, he was unable to withstand it.
He watched his soldiers retreat step by step, his heart filled with helplessness and unwillingness.
Finally, he sighed and reluctantly ordered his men to evacuate Huai County.
