big dry son-in-law

Chapter 1563 Gamble!

Li Sixun stepped forward and said, "Thank you for escorting Duke Liu's body. Li Sixun is grateful. However, the two sides are still at war, so Mr. Li will not let you drink."

When the war stops in the future, I will have a drink with you all! "

The general who escorted the body also returned the salute, "That's easy to say, I'll take my leave then!"

"Drink a glass of water before leaving and express your feelings. You might as well save your lives so that you can show mercy when we meet on the battlefield in the future!" Li Sixun said.

The general couldn't help but laugh, "No need, the duty of a soldier is to protect the homeland and the country, and his destiny is to be shrouded in horse leather. If he encounters someone, there is no need to show mercy. Naturally, he will show his true nature.

Thank you General Li for your kindness. The others took their leave! "

With that said, he waved his hand and led everyone away.

They came with magnanimity and left with magnanimity.

The smile on Li Sixun's face faded, and he walked to the coffin, feeling very sad.

Half a month after the war started, one of the generals was lost.

If the situation cannot be opened again, the battle will be lost.

It is extremely rare for a county prince to die in battle since the founding of Daqian.

"Come here, carry Duke Liu's coffin into the tent. Everyone in the camp will come to express their condolences to Duke Liu!" Li Sixun took a deep breath. After condolences, let's retreat!
"Li Shuai, why?"

Everyone looked at Li Sixun in confusion.

"Those people who just escorted Duke Liu's body all the way have clearly seen the layout of the main camp. If we don't withdraw, are we still waiting for them to come up?" Li Sixun said.

"Li Shuai, I will catch up and kill them!" a general said through gritted teeth.

"Confused!" Li Sixun scolded: "I ruined Duke Liu's reputation and escorted him at the risk of being attacked and killed. This is loyalty.

War is indeed ruthless, but people are not ruthless.

If they talk nonsense, Duke Liu's reputation will be ruined.

If we don't even have this kind of mind, how will others see us if word spreads?
When the news reaches Ming Dynasty, do you think they will torture and kill our people?

You know, we still have many brothers in their hands.

Is it just for the sake of quick success or is it considering the overall situation? "

The general was so scolded that he couldn't even raise his head, "The general will finally realize his mistake!"

"Not only cannot these people be killed, but they cannot be injured here. Send someone to escort them away!" Li Sixun said.

This war couldn't have been fought, so why start it again?

Isn’t it because the Ming Dynasty’s envoy died?

Therefore, he must not make a second mistake.

Qin Mo has already drawn a line. They can fight whatever they want in the Western Regions, but the war will not spread to the Central Plains.

This is the consensus of the two countries.

Once this bottom line is exceeded, the Ming Dynasty will usher in ruthless revenge!

Li Ankang took a deep breath, "General, I will escort them away!"

"After sending them off, the road ahead will be paved with landmines. Don't give them a chance!" Li Sixun said.

"Yes, I will obey your orders!" Li Ankang replied.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Gui's coffin was carried into the military tent, and then the entire army expressed condolences.

After the condolences were over, Li Sixun had to write an urgent report to convey the news of Liu Gui's death back to the capital.

At the same time, he also wanted to send someone to escort Liu Gui's body to Beijing for burial.

Liu Gui's death was a big blow to them. Although many people were aroused to anger, they were in the minority.

On the 18th day of the war, news came from Li Shuang'an that they led a team and encountered Zheng Fengnian's people, and Zheng Fengnian's people became even more crazy. They swept through three small countries in three days, interspersed with raids on them.

The 2-strong army lost more than [-] people.And the small country that was originally persuaded by them had a few backstabs and played a game of Mission: Impossible.

The momentum of westward expansion was curbed.

On this day, the casualties exceeded 9, and among these [-] people, more than [-] were captured.

More than 2 people died, and half of the 4 people lost the ability to fight again. The rest either had their arms or legs broken, or were blown blind.

After these people were treated and their injuries were controlled, they were all transferred to the Astronomical Kingdom.

This is also the best way Li Ankang can think of. Instead of bringing supplies here, it is better to send them to Tianxiang.

It's safe over there and has abundant supplies, so there's no need to worry about them becoming a burden.

In the past three days, they retreated eighty miles, which meant that they had lost eighty miles. This retreat made their morale even worse.

A quarter of his combat power was consumed, and Li Sixun was under too much pressure.

The toughness of Ming people is beyond imagination.

He even hoped for a heavy rain to stop the fighting.

There were not many landmines left. He didn't know where Ming Dynasty could get so much ammunition. It was almost endless.

He did some calculations and found that in eighteen days, he lost nearly ten million taels of silver.

If this was done ten years ago, all the national reserves would have been wiped out.

Finally, on Day No. 19, the fighting stopped.

After asking around, I found out that today is the Ming Emperor's birthday, and they stopped fighting for a day to celebrate.

As for Daqian, he finally had a chance to breathe, and it felt sad to say it.

Li Sixun was wondering whether to make a desperate move and launch a 30-strong army to attack and take human lives to make up for it.

As long as the Moxun base is captured, the merits and demerits will be offset.

If it continues to drag on, one will wax and wane, and it will be even more difficult to wait for Ming's help.

But he didn't dare to make a decision.

If they can't attack by force, then they will completely lose this battle.

He didn't even have the shame to return to Beijing, so he could only imitate Liu Gui and die.

Anxious, melancholy.

He held Qin Yan between his arms, his eyes full of struggle.

He was even thinking about taking advantage of the other side's truce to launch a sneak attack.

Soldiers are crafty. Why should we keep your emperor’s birthday?
Thinking of this, he hurriedly called all the generals in, "I plan to attack by force and try every means to capture the Meixun base.

If the fight continues like this, we will lose! "

Hearing this, everyone was shocked, "Li Shuai, we should have attacked by force long ago. The Ming Dynasty relied on the power of guns and artillery to consume us. One thing is going down, the other is going up, and sooner or later we will lose the opportunity to win."

We are not afraid of death, but we are afraid that death is worthless! "

"Yes, attack by force and capture the Moxun base. As long as we have the Ming Dynasty's artillery, we will definitely win!
In the future, it is only a matter of time before we can build the Ming Dynasty's artillery and counterattack the Ming Dynasty! "

"Let's attack with force, Li Shuai, we are not afraid of death!"

"Avenge Duke Liu, avenge our brothers!"

In the military camp, the generals were full of morale and roared angrily. They wished they could rush to the other side of the bay now and kill all the Ming soldiers who had destroyed the Xun navy base!
"This is a big gamble. If we win, it will be easy to say. If we lose, we are all sinners!" Li Sixun said: "If we can't win the Xunda base, we won't be able to return to Beijing.

Secondly, if we want to attack, we must attack quickly. Today is a good opportunity for us to celebrate the birthday of the Ming Emperor at No. Xun Base.

Attacking during the day is definitely not possible, so we attack at night.

Even if you kill the last person, you have to win! "
