system of princes and generals

Chapter 78
Gongsun Ao's head buzzed, like a bolt of lightning slashing from the back of his head, 8000 people wandered in the desert, only 40 people mixed into the besieged Han army.But Tayan has [-] elite soldiers.

Are the soldiers saved?Fart, there are a few more to die.

In fact, it is said that 40 people sneaked into the encirclement encirclement secretly. At this moment, less than ten people have reached the Han army camp, because they are moving simultaneously from four directions and have no contact with each other. Only a small group of people has arrived, and the rest have not yet arrived. Life and death are still uncertain.

The glimmer of hope that had just emerged was ruthlessly killed.

The smile on Gongsun Ao's face before he could take it back turned into a sad expression again. Since he is not going to rescue them, why send a few more people in to die? It will be a matter of time before the Huns encircle and wipe them out. What opportunity are you waiting for? It's just a matter of time.

Gongsun Ao was still a little unwilling, did the emperor really give up on them?Even so, General Hussars would not treat his soldiers like this.

But no one said that it was General Hussars who led the army this time!Thinking of this, Gongsun Ao's heart was empty. Could it be that the reinforcement coach who came from Chang'an this time wasn't Huo Qubing?
He hurriedly said, "Who will be the commander of the reinforcements this time?"

Zhongli was stunned for a moment and then said, "Your Majesty ordered General Hussar to lead [-] elite troops to relieve General Gongsun's siege and attack King Hunxie County.

Gongsun Ao frowned, his pupils tightened, he took a breath and continued, "Where is the Hussar General now?"

"General Hussar personally commanded more than [-] people to directly attack the lair of Hunxie King County. It is estimated that there will be good news soon." At this point, Zhongli raised his chin proudly. He did not notice that he had a dead look on his face. Gray Gongsun Ao.

Gongsun Ao's feet were weak, and he took two steps back, trying to hold on to something to stabilize his steps, but his hands were empty and he couldn't catch anything, and he almost fell down.

"General Gongsun, what's wrong with you?"

what happened?
If it is said that Gongsun Ao’s heart was just scarred by a knife just now, all hope is lost now, and even the slightest hope has been completely crushed, even Huo Qubing has given up on them, what hope do they have, and what is he, Gongsun Ao? Take these remaining Han soldiers home.

Thinking of this, Gongsun Ao could no longer control his roller coaster emotions, and two hot tears fell down his cheeks.

Gongsun Ao let out a long breath. He, Gongsun Aohe, was afraid of death, but he was ashamed of the soldiers who followed him through life and death. In the most critical time, they did not give up and followed him to the death. And he gave them the only promise Just take them home.

However, his last promise has also become empty words, no more face to face his soldiers, no more face to live in the world.

Gongsun Ao pushed Zhongli, drew his sword sideways, and prepared to kill himself to apologize.The moment the sword edge touched his neck, the movement stopped in the air.

Gongsun Ao shook his head vigorously, no, he can't die yet, he wants to take the soldiers home, even if it is the last bit of strength, he will die on the battlefield.

Thinking of this, Gongsun Ao didn't look at Zhongli again, but held his sword tightly and said, "Soldiers."

Everyone had heard that the reinforcements had arrived before, and they had all gathered around. When they heard Gongsun Ao's words, they all turned their attention to him.

"I, Gongsun Ao, am a sinner. I failed in command and let everyone fall into such an unbearable situation with me. I am ashamed of the people who are waiting for us to return home with victory, I am ashamed of the emperor's trust in me, and I am ashamed of the soldiers who swore to the death." Sui. I'm sorry everyone. Today we have no hope. We can only fight against the enemy and fight a bloody road. The sinner Gongsun Ao has no face to make a promise, but I just ask everyone to join me, break out of the siege, and let's go home together."

After Gongsun Ao finished speaking, he knelt down on one knee and clasped his hands into fists.

The soldiers were silent, and could only hear the whistling sound of the military flag being blown by the hot desert wind behind them.

Outside the camp, there is no smoke of war. Inside the camp, there are Han soldiers who are always ready to fight, sweat and blood intertwined.

Accompanied by the muffled sound of Gongsun Ao's knees falling to the ground, all the soldiers present made the same action in unison, and a loud voice resounded in the crowd, "We will definitely follow the general to the death!"

swear to follow the general
swear to follow the general
There was another sound of hoofbeats, Gongsun Ao looked up and saw several Han cavalry coming on horseback.

Just like Zhongli's team just now, there were less than ten people. It is estimated that they successfully avoided the encirclement of the Huns and sneaked into the barracks. There was no trace of fighting.

If Gongsun Ao was excited when he saw Zhongli and the others just now, his mood became a little complicated at this moment.

Gongsun Ao frowned, walked through the soldiers who had made way for him, and walked to the small reinforcements.

Before he could speak, the soldiers led by the team spoke first, "Counselor Huo is really clever, so we managed to escape the Huns' ambush and sneak into the camp."

Gongsun Ao was confused. Counselor Huo?Didn't it just say that General Hussars led more than [-] elite troops to directly attack the old nest of King Hunxie County, so who is this Counselor Huo?
A bold guess crossed his mind.

It was a name he used to disdain to mention, but recently he kept thinking of it.

Huo Guang!

Gongsun Ao just remembered that he didn't seem to ask clearly, there must be a reason for this, why the army bypassed them from the rear and directly attacked Hunxie Wang County, but sent 40 elite soldiers to confront Tayan head-on, these [-] elite soldiers Bearing such a big risk, these people were all wandering in the desert, and only [-] people were sent to divide into four groups and sneak into the besieged Han army camp.

It seems that all this is not so simple.

Is it
Gongsun Ao knew that Huo Guang was smart and resourceful, and he always came up with ideas that they couldn't think of. Could it be a trick?

As soon as this idea came to his mind, Gongsun Ao couldn't wait to turn to Zhongli, "Did Huo Guang also come?"

Zhong Li actually always wanted to say that they came in with a mission and had many things to explain, but Gongsun Ao didn't know which nerve was wrong, so he started to pretend to die heroically, which made him also two feet tall. The monk is puzzled.

At this moment, Zhong Li was finally given a chance to speak, and he hurriedly replied, "Yes, the emperor's personal military adviser. This time, Counselor Huo led [-] elite soldiers to fight Ta Yan head-on to break the siege of General Gongsun."

Gongsun Ao didn't understand more and more. There were only eight thousand soldiers. Although he was an elite soldier, it seemed too few to face Tayan's thirty thousand cavalry.

Zhong Li saw Gongsun Ao's concerns, and said with a pursed smile, "Counselor Huo sent four of us to sneak in to cooperate with General Gongsun. Initiate a breakout."
