Conferred God: High Priest of Yin and Shang Dynasties

Chapter 31 Retreat
Daji walked into the big tent carrying lunch, only to see the wool blanket on the ground stained with blood, and Baiyao, with a weak face, sitting tremblingly on a stool holding a sword.

"Owner!"

The girl was so frightened that her face turned pale, she threw away the wooden plate in her hand and rushed towards Baiyao, saying hurriedly:
"What's wrong with you?!"

Daji's eyes were red, as if the sky had fallen.

She was about to ask someone to pass it on to the imperial physician, but Baiyao raised her hand to stop her.

"Cough cough..."

Baiyao coughed and said softly:

"When the soldiers see the imperial doctor, their morale will be shaken. I'm fine. I'll immediately notify the commanders of each battalion to see me."

"Can……"

"Go quickly."

Interior: The spiritual disorder caused by the furnace explosion makes Baiyao weak all over. There are constant stabbing pains in his abdomen, and his face is a little distorted.

Seeing this, Daji had no choice but to obey the order.

After Baiyao calmed down for a while, he returned to the main seat step by step and read the latest battle reports.

In the scene of the deduction, the enemy has already rushed into the camp.

He saw Badai, saw Su Hu, and saw many people who shouldn't be in the Chinese army camp.

During the march, the Chinese army camp was at the core.

If he is attacked by a surprise attack, the generals of the front and rear armies should rescue him from the outside instead of surrounding him and resisting with difficulty.

Baiyao's eyes were gloomy.

It wasn't a surprise attack, but the enemy hit us right in front of our eyes. This only meant one thing.

Defeated across the board.

The 30-strong army was defeated like this...

His breathing was a little unsteady as he struggled to compare the recent battle reports from the former army.

[On the sixth day of July, I was attacked by a small group of enemies and killed 81 enemies]

[On the tenth day of the seventh month, the scouts encountered the enemy. General Su Quanzhong led three thousand cavalry to defeat the enemy.]

[On July [-]th, the front army was ambushed and the enemy troops were completely wiped out, killing more than [-] people in total]

...

Baiyao turned his head to look at the map with difficulty.

He found that the enemy forces he encountered recently were small groups of enemies.

One crop after another.

If Yuan Futong had not divided his troops, all this would make sense. It would be impossible to encounter a large group of enemies on the way to Beihai City.

If he divided his forces...

The image of his soldiers dying one by one lingered in his mind for a long time.

The cold wind penetrated through the gap in the big tent, and Baiyao remained silent.

With the troops divided, how can we devour our own 30-strong army?

At the end of the deduction of the future, he looked down at the earth, and there were wars in all directions, which meant:

surrounded.

"He actually added more troops."

Baiyao took a deep breath to calm down.

The recent encounters were all Yuan Futong's bait, in order to get him deep into the snowfield and into the encirclement.

The more he looked at the map, the more he felt it was a dragnet.

The man from Xi Tu received an order in his hometown to attack him. He didn't know how many soldiers came from Xi Tu.

One hundred thousand?

20?
How much increase did it take to have the courage to surround it?
Baiyao did not dwell too much on this issue.

The most important thing now is to retreat.

The scene deduced is what he will encounter in the next month.

Maybe tomorrow.

Maybe tonight.

Not long after, the military leaders came to the big tent.

The former army commander Lu Xiong is old but has rich combat experience. In the original work, even Jiang Ziya did not dare to compete with him in the art of war. Even if he were to serve as the commander of the Northern Expedition, it would be more than enough.

The evil coming from the left wing has a fierce general.

Yin's right wing was defeated, and Emperor Xin's personal generals were defeated.

The commander-in-chief of the rear army was originally Dongbohou Jiang Huanchu, but he was replaced by Baiyao with Su Hu after two days.

"See the great blessing——"

All the generals handed over their hands, and Baiyao was given a seat without mentioning it.

Before the generals could sit down, the commander on the throne said straightforwardly:
"We are surrounded by Yuan Futong." E Lai and Yin Po Bei stared at each other with expressions of disbelief.

Only Lu Xiong pondered for a moment and asked:

"Did Zhu find out through divination?"

Baiyao nodded.

Lu Xiong looked serious:

"Then the enemy forces we encountered recently were all decoys."

He looked at the map and expressed his opinion:
"Let's not talk about where Yuan Futong got his troops. If his purpose is to surround us, then we are already in his pocket."

He stood up and cupped his fists and said:

"The strength of the enemy's troops is unknown, so I would like to ask you to withdraw the troops!"

This is the first time for everyone here to fight this kind of battle where the coach is uncertain.

Su Hu felt lucky like everyone else.

If something happens to Da Zhu, no one can bear the wrath of the royal family.

Several people stood up and echoed:
"Please give me your best wishes for the withdrawal of troops!"

Baiyao nodded gently and said:
"We really can't take risks. Send an order to change the rear army into the front army. Immediately withdraw to Xuemen Pass and send out practitioners. We must get the enemy's troop allocation."

Everyone bowed their heads and said yes.

At this moment, the sound of rapid horse hooves sounded outside.

"Best wishes!"

As the sound of armor colliding sounded, Ji Fa, whose face was red from the cold, ran in excitedly and shouted:

"Three hundred miles northwest! This is Yuan Futong's camp!"

Baiyao's spirit was already a little sluggish. When he heard these words, he felt as if he had been poured a basin of ice water on him. Regardless of his injury, he suddenly stood up and said in surprise:

"How do you know that?!"

Ji Fa was out of breath and said excitedly:

"The last general was leading his troops to clear the way, but he encountered a wave of enemy scouts. After killing them, he forgot to leave any one alive. I guess his hands were itchy..."

Lu Xiong hurriedly lowered his voice:

"Say the point!"

Hearing this, Ji Fa took a breath, clasped his fists and said:

"The general followed the traces left by the enemy's horses and found a large group of enemy troops thirty miles away. After catching a scout and questioning him, he learned that they were Yuan Futong's troops. He followed the military order to set up an ambush. Yuan Futong Just to the northwest!"

Baiyao's eyes darkened, but he did not take back the order to withdraw.

Retreat is necessary, I'm afraid we are surrounded now.

What Ji Fa encountered was still bait.

The information obtained may not be true.

Because I haven’t changed the future yet.

Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves came from outside again.

Su Quanzhong excitedly opened the tent and held in his hand a Taoist whose lower body had been chopped off at the waist. The wound was wrapped with clothes, leaving only half a breath left.

"Great congratulations! I found Yuan Futong!"

Seeing that all the generals were there, he was stunned for a moment.

Baiyao glanced at the Taoist and said softly:
"What evidence?"

Su Quanzhong mentioned the Taoist priest like a chicken and replied:
"The last general led his scouts to look for the enemy. He lost his way for a while, and suddenly saw this guy flying in the sky, so he shot his halberd and broke his waist."

He grabbed the Taoist's hair and said viciously:
"Say! What do you do?!"

The Taoist's breath was weak and his voice was hoarse as he said:

"Pindao...Pindao is just conveying military orders for Yuan Futong..."

"Where is Yuan Futong!"

"Northwest...three hundred miles..."

Ji Fa looked Su Quanzhong up and down and said disdainfully:

"I told Da Zhu the news a long time ago."

Su Quanzhong looked at Baiyao after hearing this.

"He just finished."

Baiyao chuckled.

Su Quanzhong couldn't help but glared at Ji Fa. He cupped the Taoist's hands and walked to Su Hu without saying a word.

Baiyao glanced at everyone and said:
"Whether or not this news is true, we have to leave."

He paused, his eyes flashed with coldness, and said:
"There is no need to retreat to Xuemen Pass, immediately go west to join the Grand Master and capture Chongcheng!"
