Back to Daqin to be Emperor

Chapter 314 Out of the fortress
Fusu kept looking at the distance on the map. In the past two days, this map was the one he turned the most.

Looking at the distance on the map shortened little by little, Fusu's heart tensed.

If according to the plan, Wang Li should be able to block the Hu people within the Great Wall and create conditions for the encirclement and annihilation of the Hu people.

"Young master." Ying Bo said with a serious face, "General Wang Li didn't stop him. Most of the Hu people have broken through the Great Wall and returned to the grassland."

"How is this going?"

Fusu's face was ugly, this plan has been planned for so long, but unexpectedly, it will not go smoothly in every way, since the very beginning, it has been full of twists and turns.

I thought that after going through so many twists and turns, I had come to the last moment, when it was time to reap the fruits, but I didn't expect that after all, it would be nothing.

Yingbu waved his hand, and immediately, a soldier was brought in front of Fusu, who cupped his hands and said, "My lord, since General Wang Li set out, there has been heavy rain, the march has been slow, and mountain torrents have broken down many sections of the road. .”

"General Wang came here with his army. Most of the Hu people had already crossed the Great Wall. General Wang led his army to fight fiercely with it. More than [-] people were beheaded. Most of the Hu people escaped."

Fusu clenched his fists tightly, and his eyes were full of anger. What he heard already proved that this strategy failed completely.

It seems that God made a big joke with him this time, and never stood by his side from the beginning to the end!
All luck is on the side of the barbarians.

Yingbo's expression darkened, looking at the calm Fusu at the moment, he knew that Fusu's heart was far from being as simple as it appeared on the surface, and he was carrying too many things inside.

Everything was supported by Fusu's efforts, and Mo Chu's departure two days ago once again added a huge stone of ten thousand catties to Fusu's heart.

He didn't know if Fusu could still hold on after going through all this?

"Yingbu, call all officers and soldiers, I have something to say."

Fusu's words were flat, as if he was talking about something casual. A moment later, [-] Qin troops stood neatly in front of Fusu.

Looking at the 40 Qin soldiers, some of them still have youthful vigor on their faces, some have unshaven beards, are already [-] to [-] years old, and have become fathers, and some of them are wasting their time here and have never married yet.

"Those who have parents at home, come out!"

Following a military order from Fusu, some members of the army stood up.

"Whoever has a wife and children at home, come out."

Another group of people stood in front of the army.

"The only child in the family, come out." Following the last military order, Fusu took a general look, and about half of them remained in the field.

"All the soldiers who go out stay here to gather camp, waiting for the general's order. The rest of the soldiers, get on their horses, follow me out of the fortress, and chase the barbarians." Fusu took the lead in getting on the horse, and turned to look at the crowd.

A smile appeared on the corner of Yingbo's mouth. The difficulties in front of him did not knock Fusu down, but made him more tenacious.

Yingbo cupped his hands and said, "Young master, Yingbo has never repaid you since we met. This time, Yingbo is willing to go out with you to chase the barbarians."

Gao Chong flashed in front of him, and said: "Master, when you were in Jiujiang County, Mr. Meng was kind enough to allow me to follow you and trust me. Wherever you go, Gao Chong will go."

"Monto swears to follow the young master!"

Looking at the scene in front of him, Meng Tuo's chest was agitated, and he stood up to express his heart.During this period of getting along, Meng Tuo and Yingbo and the others have become one with each other. They also know what kind of abilities Yingbo and the others have, but they are all willing to lie dormant under Fusu and obey Fusu's orders.

For Fusu, Meng Tuo also admired him from the bottom of his heart!
Meng He cupped his hands and went out, saying: "Everyone in the Meng family army is a strong man, willing to follow the son to the death!"

Immediately, Menghe got on his horse, and more than 3 soldiers behind him stepped on the horse together in unison.

"set off!"

On this day, [-] Qin troops went out of the fortress and rushed to the grassland!

…………

Sitting in the military tent, Wang Li was also quite distressed.

If the marching speed could be increased to one line faster, it would surely be able to block the barbarians returning to the grassland. However, by the time they arrived, most of the barbarians had already passed, leaving only one tail still inside the Great Wall.

But under his command, there is no army that can pursue them. Although some of the troops he carries are equipped with horses, they are still a minority, and most of them are infantry.

With only a little cavalry, it is extremely easy to get caught in a blind pursuit.

Wang Li also knew that he would bear a great deal of responsibility for the failure of this strategy. It can be said that if he could arrive in time, it would never be like this.

Wang Li felt a little ashamed to execute such a wonderful strategy in the end.

And for this strategy, in order to be able to wipe out the Hu people who invaded this time, the price paid was unprecedentedly high.

Not only the counties in the north were invaded by the barbarians, countless people were plundered by the barbarians, and the court spent countless sums.

Wang Li has heard that His Majesty even stopped the construction of the imperial mausoleum and the new capital, and fully supported the front line.

But the final result is so pitiful. It can be said that the entire Qin army guarding the Northland is guilty from top to bottom.

After all, the emperor had given such high expectations, but the answer sheet he handed over was so unsightly, anyone would be filled with unknown anger!

When Wang Li was secretly distressed, suddenly, a soldier ran in in a panic, which made Wang Li feel even more upset.

Wang Li'an restrained his temper and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Report to General, Fusu leads [-] Qin troops out of the fortress!"

One sentence immediately made Wang Li stand up, and looked at the messenger in surprise, as if the news from the messenger seemed like a joke.

"Is this absolutely true?" Wang Li asked again.

"Indeed." The orderly replied again affirmatively.

"When will you leave the fortress?"

"About an hour ago."

"Quick, no matter what, send someone to find the young master!" Wang Li immediately ordered.

After the messenger left the big tent, Wang Li stroked his forehead with his palm, obviously having a headache.

For him, this can be regarded as worse!

Originally, the battle on the front line was unfavorable, so His Majesty wanted to hold him accountable, but now, if something happened to Fusu, even if he had the title of Marquis of Wu Cheng, he would not be able to keep himself.

The vast prairie was inherently dangerous, and among them, the Hu people were even more elusive, and the Qin army had no experience in fighting outside the fortress. Therefore, in Wang Li's view, Fusu's move was undoubtedly courting death!

The loss of [-] Qin troops is indeed heartbreaking, but if Fusu dies in battle or is captured, Da Qin will lose all face!
If Fusu could not be found, not to mention Wang Li, even Meng Tian would not be able to afford it. The Qin army in the entire northern region would bear the wrath of the first emperor.
