When he entered the camp, he saw Zeng Tong lying on the ground, his body already stiff. He had obviously been dead for a long time, his face was like the bottom of a pot, and there was a solemn look in his eyes.
Cheng Mao knelt down and looked at Zeng Tong carefully. He looked at Zeng Tong's cut neck and the dark red blood on the ground. He sighed, waved his hand and said, "Take the military advisor down and bury him."
"yes!"
The soldiers received the order and immediately brought people to move Zeng Tong away.
Cheng Mao, with his hands behind his back, went straight back to the Chinese army's tent. When he returned, Liu Xun and the soldiers under his command had all returned, with solemn and even panicked expressions on their faces.
They all got the news that the granary was burned down.
One by one, six gods have no master.
Liu Xun took the initiative and said: "Commander, now that the granary in the rear has been destroyed, what should we do now?"
Cheng Mao said: "What else can we do? Do you have any strategy to defeat the enemy at the moment?"
Liu Xun gritted his teeth and said: "Commander, the only way is to make a desperate move and attack Linzi. There is Lu Shengqi's granary in Linzi City. As long as we break Linzi City, we will still be the winner."
Cheng Mao said: "Of course I know that by breaking Linzi City, we can reverse the situation. The problem is that when the news of the burning of the granary spread, each of you panicked, let alone the soldiers? The soldiers have no fighting spirit. Under such circumstances, it is not easy to break Linzi."
Liu Xun fell silent.
The rest of the people are like this too.
The expressions on each face are worried and hesitant.
After all, the situation is unfavorable at the moment.
After Liu Xun was silent for a while, he suddenly said: "Commander, what you just said is indeed reasonable. Our army's morale is indeed unstable and its combat effectiveness is weak."
"The problem is, we have no choice."
"This time there was turmoil in Qingzhou, and the imperial court arranged for us to suppress the bandits. We did not succeed in suppressing the bandits. Instead, all the grain in the granary was burned and had to be returned to the imperial court. If the news spreads back to the imperial court, we will all be accused."
"Everyone will be implicated."
Liu Xun said: "Especially the commander-in-chief, you are responsible for the army. So at the moment, I think we have no choice but to fight."
The others were thoughtful when they heard the words.
Liu Xun¡¯s words make sense.
They now have no choice at all.
If you want to retreat, the court will ask questions.
We can only fight again.
After Cheng Mao heard this, his solemn expression became more solemn and more acknowledging.
He cannot retreat.
Once you retreat, it¡¯s over.
Cheng Mao was not an indecisive person, so he made a decision immediately and ordered: "All generals, listen to the order!"
Everyone stood in solemn silence.
Everyone looked at Cheng Mao, waiting for Cheng Mao's order.
Cheng Mao ordered: "Call all the troops and assemble in the army. I want to give you a lecture."
"yes!"
Everyone then retreated.
They are all going to mobilize soldiers to assemble.
In this battle, they have no choice but to fight.
The soldiers went to make arrangements, and within a short period of time, all the soldiers gathered.
Nearly 100,000 people gathered in the school grounds, the crowds were overwhelming, and the crowds were so dark that one could not see what was happening behind them at a glance. Fortunately, all the soldiers were arrayed next to each other.
So although there are 100,000 people and the area is very vast, at least in this extremely silent scene, many people can hear Cheng Mao's words.
Cheng Mao himself, although not a master, is still a first-rate master. His Qi was circulating, and his voice was loud and loud enough for everyone to hear.
Cheng Mao is now standing in the center of the crowd.
He has soldiers on all sides.
"If Cheng Mao stood at the front of all the soldiers, and there were hundreds of thousands of people in formation, the soldiers at the back might not be able to hear him.
Now, at least most soldiers can hear it clearly.
Cheng Mao wore a helmet and armor with a solemn expression. He turned around and glanced at all the soldiers, took a breath, circulated his true energy, and shouted: "Soldiers, I have just received the news that our granary in Jiushan Ridge was burned down. Two hundred thousand stones of grain were burned by Lu Shengqi The people were burned to the ground. Our army only had four days of food left."??
Wow! !
The entire army was in an uproar.
All the soldiers were extremely shocked.
In fact, news had spread among the army before, and many soldiers knew that there was a fire in the granary in the rear and the food was burned.
It¡¯s just that now, Cheng Mao admits it directly.
The news is confirmed.
Everyone looked extremely panicked because they were starting to run out of food.
Cheng Mao looked at this scene and was not surprised. He knew this result when he summoned all the soldiers. Once the news came out, there must be an uproar.
Cheng Mao stood quietly without saying a word.
Let the soldiers speak.
Let the soldiers vent their anger.
The current situation is extremely unfavorable, so it is extremely normal for the soldiers to panic.
Because Cheng Mao has been silent, time gradually passed, and the buzzing noise at the beginning gradually began to become smaller, and pairs of eyes began to fall on Cheng Mao.
They were all waiting for Cheng Mao to speak.
Let¡¯s see what decision Cheng Mao makes.
At this time, Cheng Mao shouted for silence, and everyone stopped talking.
There was silence in the school grounds.
At this moment, there was only a faint sound of breathing in the school grounds, and no one spoke anymore.
Cheng Mao took a breath and said: "Our granary has been burned down. And many bandits have appeared in Yanzhou. We are facing two choices now."
"The first option is to retreat immediately."
"Exit Qingzhou."
"This choice is the simplest. We can escape back. But with this choice, once our army returns to the court, all of us will be sinners."
Cheng Mao talked eloquently and continued: "Starting from me, and then to every general in the army, they will be questioned. As for all your soldiers at the lowest level, they will not escape the blame."
"Although you will not be killed if you are questioned, you will be marked as a loser."
"Even, he was looked down upon by countless people."
"There is also a possibility that they will be sent to build rivers, the Great Wall, etc. Anyway, if you want to change your identity, it will be difficult."
Cheng Mao said: "In short, as long as we retreat, we will lose the battle in Qingzhou. Everyone in the court will be angry and target our army. From now on, we will never be able to raise our heads. As soon as you say it out, say it's me Cheng Mao's soldiers will be looked down upon."
After saying this, many people started talking again.
When Liu Xun and others heard this, they were also thinking about Cheng Mao's intentions.
They all know now that Cheng Mao must be preparing for a desperate fight. But the key is to get all the soldiers to cheer up and fight to the death again.
Only in this way can there be a glimmer of hope.
Breaking through Linzi, everything turned around.
If they cannot break Linzi, they are losers. Even if they evacuate Qingzhou, they will be punished.
Cheng Mao raised his hand and lowered it, signaling all the soldiers to be quiet. Then, Cheng Maogao said again: "Of course, we have a second choice now. This is our last chance." (Remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com
