Da Song: Possessed by Overlord at the beginning

Chapter 208
The three of Shi Dingkun and the others could be regarded as loyal and loyal. When they were in danger, they took the lead and immediately led an army of [-] troops. After the end, it took a lot of effort to send the crown prince He Anbang out of the barracks.

However, Shi Dingkun, Tang Dingming, and Shen Dingshan died in the rebellion. Only 3000 of the [-] Qilu army remained and surrendered to Chao's army.

After a night of hard work, although Chao's army won in the end, the loss was not small due to the night attack on the camp. The tent was basically destroyed. Fortunately, the food and grass were not burned.

Chao's army suffered more than 3000 casualties, of which more than 5000 were killed and less than 100 were seriously injured.

Looking at the devastated Chao family army camp, Chao Tian's face was gloomy and terrifying, and the veins on his forehead popped out, like a lion about to go crazy.

"My lord, although our army suffered heavy losses in this battle, we still won a complete victory." The military adviser Liu Bowen comforted softly beside him.

"The Chao family army doesn't need such a big victory."

Chao Tian shook his head, and said in a deep voice: "This battle has exposed too many problems. Arrogance, complacency, underestimation of the opponent, lax defense, these are fatal problems."

Liu Bowen nodded in agreement and echoed, "My lord's words are very true. Since ancient times, arrogant soldiers must be defeated, but this battle has woken us up."

"Hahaha…"

"My lord, this time the last general will lead the Beiwei iron cavalry and kill more than 5000 Qilu troops."

The sharpshooter Gao Chong walked over overjoyed, and begged Chao Tian for his merits, not paying any attention to Chao Tian's gloomy face and the constant winking of the military advisor Liu Bowen next to him.

Hearing Gao Chong's words, Chao Tian glared at Gao Chong with gloomy eyes, and the latter realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly smiled and bowed his head in silence.

"Everyone go to the tent of the Chinese army." Chao Tian left a cold sentence and walked away.

"Master, what's the matter, my lord? Didn't we win a big victory?" Xiong Kuohai next to him was also a little puzzled, and asked Liu Bowen, the military adviser next to him.

Looking at the bewildered generals in front of him, Liu Bowen sighed and shook his head slightly.

"You guys, you only know how to win a big victory, but when the opponent attacked the camp at night, where are our defenses and whistles?"

"The lord is so angry, you underestimate the enemy too much, the arrogant soldiers will surely lose." After finishing speaking, Liu Bowen also walked away.

Leaving Gao Chong behind, Xiong Kuohai and the others looked at each other in blank dismay, indeed they were dazzled by the victory.

"Let's go, let's go to the big tent of the Chinese army." Dou Xiantong sighed, greeted him, and walked towards the big tent of the Chinese army.

"The last general pays his respects to the lord!"

When they came to the big tent of the Chinese army, all the generals clasped their fists together and saluted Chao Tian.

"Who is in charge of guarding the barracks tonight?" Chao Tian asked coldly with a gloomy face.

"Report to my lord, the last general is in charge!"

As soon as Chao Tian finished speaking, Fan Chenglong walked out with his head lowered and replied.

"Push it out and behead it for public display!" Chao Tian looked at Fan Chenglong who was kneeling on the ground, and shouted.

"Yes!"

Several soldiers from the Tiger Guard Camp in the Chinese army's tent responded and dragged Fan Chenglong outside without any explanation.

Fan Chenglong knew that he was lax in defense, so that he was attacked by someone sneaking into the camp. He lowered his head and did not speak or resist.

"Wait a minute!"

Zhen Xianglin came out eagerly, stopped a few soldiers from the Huwei Battalion, and clasped his fists heavily at Chao Tian.

"My lord, Fan Chenglong's defense is lax, but he is not guilty of death. I beg the lord to be merciful!" As he spoke, he kowtowed heavily to Chao Tian a few times.

"Sin without death?"

"Because of him, in the battle tonight, our army suffered more than 3000 casualties, and more than 5000 brothers died in the battle. This is not a crime not to die? What about the [-] brothers?"

Chao Tian angrily reprimanded Zhen Xianglin speechless. Chao's army has strict military discipline, so Zhen Xianglin can't say anything, but he and Fan Chenglong are as close as brothers and have a good relationship, so it is impossible to watch Fan Chenglong be killed kill.

"Brother Xianglin, stop talking. This matter is my responsibility. My lord kills me without any complaints." Fan Chenglong whispered at the door.

"My lord, now is the time to employ people. Although General Fan Chenglong has made some mistakes, but because of his past achievements, he will be extrajudicially merciful. Let him spare his life and let him take the blame and make meritorious service."

The sharpshooter Gao Chong also stood up, clenched his fists heavily at Chao Tian, ​​and begged.

"My lord, Brother Gao Chong is right. Now is the time for employing people. Killing a general before the battle is not good for the morale of the army." Liu Bowen, the military adviser, also stood up to intercede for Fan Chenglong.

Chao Tian glanced at everyone, then at Fan Chenglong, snorted coldly, and sighed.

"Since this is the case, Fan Chenglong can be exonerated from the death penalty, but he cannot escape the crime of living. He has passed fifty army sticks, and he has made meritorious deeds."

"Thank you, my lord, for not killing me, thank you all!"

When Fan Chenglong heard Chao Tian's words, he immediately thanked him as if he had received an amnesty.

"report one by one"

At this moment, a small school, full of travel and dust, hurried into the large tent of the Chinese army.

"Report to my lord, General Li Cunxiao has a letter to present to my lord." The junior said hastily.

Chao Tian took the letter and read it carefully, his face became more and more livid.

Li Cunxiao wrote above carefully, he didn't listen to Luan Tingyu's suggestion, which resulted in letting go of [-] cavalrymen of the Qilu Army, and some words of apology.

"Humph!"

"Second order, Li Yuanfang quickly goes to Li Cunxiao's place and escorts the guy back to me. Li Cunxiao will be relieved of the command of the Flying Tiger Cavalry and will be led by Xiong Kuohai."

Chao Tian ordered coldly to beat Li Cunxiao to the end.

"Yes!" Li Yuanfang replied, not daring to neglect.

"My lord, in the battle tonight, only a mere 1000 people from He Anbang escaped and returned to Zhangqiu City."

"That is to say, He Anbang's reinforcements are still on the way, and Zhangqiu City still lacks troops and horses, so breaking the city is much easier." At this moment, military advisor Liu Bowen stood up and bowed to Chao Tian, Have a well-thought-out plan.

Hearing the words of military advisor Liu Bowen, Chao Tian immediately thought of a strategy to break the city, and his mood improved a lot.

"Does the military division want to send someone to pretend to be the reinforcements of the Qilu army, so as to deceive Zhangqiu City?" Chao Tian asked.

"Master Mingjian, this is what I mean." Liu Bowen nodded.

"Fan Chenglong, I will give you another chance to make meritorious deeds."

"Lead an army of [-] horses, pretend to be reinforcements from the Qilu army, open Zhangqiu city gate, and break through Zhangqiu city." Chao Tian thought for a while, then turned his eyes to Fan Chenglong who was on the side.

"The end will be ordered!"

Fan Chenglong was overjoyed when he heard the lord's order, and stood up, fisting towards Chao Tian heavily, with a resolute expression on his face.

"The final general is willing to go together." Zhen Xianglin also stood up beside him, asking for a fight.

Chao Tian nodded, and agreed to Zhen Xianglin's request, and let the two of them go to Zhangqiu together.

He Anbang escaped from the Chao family's camp after a narrow escape, and ran for an hour at a stretch, only to heave a sigh of relief when he saw that no pursuers came.

"His Royal Highness, now we have 1000 cavalry, only more than [-] are left, and the other brothers are besieged in the Chao family army camp."
