We are all reborn, let's practice dual cultivation with Master first

The evacuating soldiers soon arrived less than a mile away from the city, and several generals in the city who received the news also climbed to the top of the city wall.

Looking at the fleeing soldiers, the general of Xuanfu frowned and said, "It seems to be all the soldiers of the Right Guard. Why did they flee here? Could it be that the Hu people are attacking?"

The imperial court issued the order to start the war only three days ago. Logically, Lin Danhan should not have come so quickly. Moreover, even if he came, the whole Right Guard should not have been defeated so quickly. They did not even receive any news.

"General, do you want to open the city gate?" asked the deputy general next to him.

Upon hearing this, the general subconsciously waved his hand and ordered the door to be opened.

"Wait a minute!"

However, at this moment a voice interrupted the general's next action.

The general turned around and looked at the person who spoke, and asked in confusion: "What does Admiral Wang mean?"

The middle-aged man with some scholarly habits spoke with some pride on his face: "These people came in a hurry, and the reason is unknown. Is it appropriate for General Ma to give such a hasty order? If these people are prisoners of captives and spies, or have surrendered prisoners, and they cooperate with the barbarians inside and outside, and Xuanfu City is broken, can General Ma bear this responsibility?"

Upon hearing this, General Ma was speechless for a moment.

He was indeed a little anxious.

However, these civil officials were really vicious. When their upper lips touched their lower lips, they would put a big hat on him. How could he dare to respond to such words? In addition, the current situation in the court where civil officials are more important than military officials, he could only reply with frustration: "General Wang is right."

Upon hearing this, Lieutenant General Wang just snorted coldly and did not reply.

The deputy general was extremely dissatisfied when he saw this, but he had to grit his teeth and remain silent. If he argued with the civil official at this time, it would only cause trouble for his superior. This situation was not the first time, and it could even be said that it was not an isolated case. It has been more than 600 years since the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, and the policy has gradually become conservative, and the precautions against military generals who hold military power have increased. It is now normal for civil officials to control military generals.

While they were talking, the retreating defeated soldiers also arrived at the foot of the city.

Immediately, the general ordered his deputy general to talk to the other party and understand the situation.

"The Hu people invaded. The attack was sudden. We didn't even have time to spread the news before the city was surrounded..."

"The weapons provided by the court are all defective, and the quality of the spirit crystals is also greatly reduced. The reserves that were originally able to last for three days can only last for half a day..."

"The general personally covered our retreat in order to allow us to break through, but he has been killed by the barbarians..."

The fleeing soldiers below were talking incessantly, and the people on the city wall also knew what had happened.

However, when he heard those people saying that there was something wrong with the court's supplies and that someone had embezzled them, Lieutenant General Wang immediately jumped out and said, "You are simply talking nonsense. The supplies are provided by the court, how can there be anything wrong with that? I think you are just looking for excuses to exonerate yourself after abandoning the city and fleeing!"

The fleeing soldiers below were stunned for a moment, then they defended themselves: "No... No, it was the general who ordered me to retreat. We did not abandon the city and flee. We are not deserters..."

After a pause, the leading general quickly took out a letter from his bosom and said, "This is the general's handwritten letter. It is indeed he who asked us to retreat. Please read it carefully!"

Admiral Wang didn't even bother to look at it, and continued to shout angrily, "What handwritten letter? I think he is also a man with bad intentions. He probably resold the materials himself, and now that the incident has been exposed, he committed suicide out of fear of punishment!"

"you!"

The soldiers all looked annoyed.

Their own general had sacrificed his life to cover their retreat, and now he was being slandered for profiteering. How could these soldiers tolerate this?

"You fart-"

"You corrupt scholar, you are slandering me!"

"You have to die!"

The soldiers kept cursing and were filled with indignation.

Being insulted by a group of soldiers, how could Wang, a scholar who was high up in the sky, endure it? He immediately shouted, "These stinking soldiers! I think they are spies from the Hu people. General Ma, give the order to kill them!"

"This..." General Ma's face looked extremely ugly.

Everyone knew that civil officials were greedy for money, but he didn't expect this person to be so cruel, killing people when he was hurt. He also called them "soldiers" all the time. He already felt that there was something wrong with the eyes of the old brothers around him.

"Do you want to disobey orders?" Admiral Wang threatened.

General Ma was speechless. It was bad enough that he was insulted, but now he was asked to kill these soldiers. It was so absurd that he couldn't say it.

Seeing General Ma like this, Lieutenant General Wang became even angrier, "Well! Facing the Hu spies and doing nothing, colluding with the Hu people, can you bear this crime?"

General Ma's face looked extremely ugly, and he was struggling with his conscience.

But Admiral Wang had lost his patience and said, "Just wait until you are impeached!"

After that, he looked at the man dressed as an eunuch next to him and asked, "What do you think, eunuch?"

As a military supervisor, he usually doesn't talk, but now that he's being asked, he can't hide. After thinking for a long time, the military supervisor finally spoke: "This eunuch also thinks these people are quite problematic. The city is important, so don't open the gate easily."

As the eunuch supervising the army, he naturally had a share of the toll for the supplies.

Upon hearing this, Lieutenant General Wang immediately stared at General Ma and asked, "What else do you have to say? Are you going to disobey the palace's wishes?"

Under pressure from both the eunuch supervising the army and the lieutenant general, General Ma was unable to cope with the situation alone. He remained silent for a long while, and finally had no choice but to speak and ordered the archery.

The soldiers were in disbelief when they received the order and looked at Brigadier General Wang with anger.

But military orders were as heavy as a mountain and they could not resist.

Then, arrows flew towards the fleeing soldiers below.

Although the soldiers on the city wall tried their best to control the force, many of them were still shot and fell to the ground.

Seeing the arrows shot from the top of the city, the soldiers below looked in disbelief.

When they saw the smug look on the face of General Wang, who looked like a civil servant, many people understood.

They retreated, gritting their teeth, the hatred in their hearts reaching its peak.

They defended the city for the court, risking their lives, and even generals sacrificed their lives for it, but is this the result?

Of the more than a thousand people who fled to the city, after this round of rain of arrows, less than five hundred managed to retreat to the back.

After escaping from the attack range of the bows and arrows, they all clenched their fists and stared at the top of Xuanfu city with bloodshot eyes.

After recovering some strength, they walked back in the direction they came from, their eyes filled with overwhelming hatred.

In the end, more than 300 of these defeated soldiers came before Ligdan Khan.

They no longer care about so many things now. They just want to avenge their brothers who died unjustly and avenge the general.

The enemy is hateful, but the people who stab you in the back are even more hateful.

……

The next day, Lin Danhan's troops arrived at Xuanfu and launched a massive attack on the city.

Several former Ming Dynasty soldiers who surrendered were fearless and climbed directly to the top of the city wall, and then began to incite the soldiers to revolt.

The soldiers were already resentful of the fact that their resources were withheld on a daily basis, and yesterday they were forced to shoot arrows at their colleagues, causing their fighting spirit to drop extremely low, and they were unable to form any effective resistance.

Brigadier General Wang was still cursing at the soldiers, calling them "soldiers" one by one, but the angry soldiers rushed over and chopped off his head.

Xuanfu city was broken.

Xuanfu City, an important city in the north, was captured in one day.

Without this barrier, the Hu people were able to move freely in the north, and the Xuanfu area was completely devastated.

When the news reached the capital, the whole country was shocked.
