After suffering heavy casualties, the Northern Yan army finally retreated.
There were only about a thousand cavalrymen left.
Half of them were dead or injured, and basically everyone was injured.
Especially the adjutant, who was covered in blood and looked extremely miserable.
On the other hand, Li Shan Quan, who was good at escaping, was unscathed except for some dust on his body.
"When we return, I will definitely impeach you.”
The adjutant said fiercely to Li Shan Quan. Then, he led all the soldiers back.
Now that they had suffered heavy casualties, they no longer had the ability to chase after the First Prince of the Northern Barbarians.
Even if the reinforcements arrived, there would definitely be a trap ahead.
This time, they could be said to have returned with a great defeat!
It was simply a humiliation!
Even if this deputy general was not from Northern Yan, he knew.
In the past, the Northern Yan Army had always been victorious under the leadership of the King of Northern Yan.
But now, they didn't expect that 2,000 cavalrymen would actually be beaten to a pulp by a few thousand infantrymen.
Just thinking about it was humiliating.
If it wasn't for Li Shan Quan's stubbornness and his reckless pursuit of the Northern Barbarian First Prince, they wouldn't have ended up like this.
At this moment, the cavalrymen of the Northern Yan Army who were still lazing around when they had just set off glared fiercely at Li Shan Quan. They wished they could kill him directly.
Li Shan Quan felt goosebumps all over his body, but he couldn't say anything. After all, it was his fault this time.
However, this was his first time leading an army to battle. It was understandable that he failed.
Everyone was silent along the way.
Soon, they encountered the infantrymen rushing over from behind.
The 3000 infantrymen were all shocked when they saw the 2000 cavalrymen retreat in defeat.
They didn't understand why the two thousand cavalrymen had been defeated.
The elite cavalry of the Northern Yan Army were all top-notch.
The King of Beiyan knew the power of the cavalry, so he had been constantly training them.
However, they did not expect the powerful Northern Yan cavalry to be defeated.
They looked at Li Shan Quan with the same resentful gaze.
Li Shan Quan was silent and did not dare to say anything. He just hid in a corner.
The group of people walked out lazily.
Then, he came back dejectedly.
For a moment.
The Northern Yan Army was filled with all sorts of curses towards Li Shan Quan.
"I didn't expect that the commander of our Northern Yan Army would be such a good-for-nothing.”
"If it was the former King of Beiyan, he would definitely be able to give them a good beating even if he couldn't capture the First Prince of the Northern Barbarians.”
"I didn't expect our Northern Yan Army to be defeated so badly. It's all because of this trash.”
"He actually abandoned his own troops and ran away first. What kind of trash commander would do such a thing!”
"The imperial court is really muddle-headed. Even if we were led by a pig, we would not have suffered such a tragic defeat.”
......
The Northern Yan army was defeated.
There were no casualties in the Northern Barbarians, but they had nearly a thousand casualties.
Soon, it was sent back to the Great Zhou.
Not only was the Imperial Court shocked, but even all the commoners in the Great Zhou Dynasty were also very shocked.
He did not expect the undefeated Northern Yan Army to be defeated.
They were only facing thousands of Northern Barbarian soldiers.
In the past, Lu Yu, the King of Northern Yan, could easily deal with these barbarians even with 500 Northern Yan soldiers!
......
In the Qilin Hall of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
"Bastard, the Northern Barbarian diplomatic group actually attacked our Great Zhou. This is outrageous.”
"And what happened to the Northern Yan army? They actually returned in defeat.”
Emperor Yuan Tai cursed angrily.
The First Prince of the Northern Barbarians had suddenly backstabbed him, and he was mentally and physically exhausted.
He had not expected the Northern Yan Army to return in such a miserable state.
It was really like a house leaking and suffering from continuous rain.
"Your Majesty, in my opinion, it was because the new commander was not capable enough that the Northern Yan Army suffered a crushing defeat.”
"The Northern Yan Army used to win every battle, but now they have suffered a crushing defeat.”
"This is definitely not because of the soldiers themselves, but because of the commander.”
"In my opinion, it's better to abolish the current commander of the Northern Yan Army.”
A military official in the imperial court suggested it.
Emperor Yuan Tai frowned.
Thinking that Li Shan Quan was his old friend and the power behind him, he waved his hand and said,"This is Li Shan Quan's first time leading an army, so he naturally has his shortcomings.”
"No one is born to lead troops to war. We have to give him some time to temper himself.”
......
Many people complained in their hearts.
There were clearly people who knew how to lead troops to war in their lives!
That person is currently locked up in the imperial prison by you!
" The main problem now is that the First Prince of the Northern Barbarians is attacking our Northern Borderline," Emperor Yuan Tai continued.”
"Their intentions are simply despicable. We have to make them pay the price.”
"Military and Political Affairs Office, write a letter now and denounce the Northern Barbarians.”
"Let them explain what they want. If they want to start a war, our Great Zhou will accompany them to the end!”
This was a slap to his face!
Emperor Yuan Tai was furious!
Wen Cifu, who was standing in front of the officials, did not speak this time.
He just lowered his head, thinking about something.
......
When the citizens of the Great Zhou heard that the Northern Barbarian diplomatic mission had wantonly burned, killed, and plundered their northern borders on their way back, and even defeated the Northern Yan army, everyone was extremely shocked.
The Northern Barbarian diplomatic mission actually attacked our Great Zhou, and it was just after the marriage.
Isn't this slapping our Great Zhou in the face?
"I told you that the Northern Barbarians were wild and ambitious.”
"Your Majesty is really muddle-headed. I didn't expect you to really believe the nonsense of the Northern Barbarians.”
"Our Great Zhou has really lost all face after this incident. It's simply a national humiliation!”
"His Majesty even sent troops to suppress us.”
"I didn't expect the mighty Northern Yan army to be defeated. What happened?”
"It's all because the Imperial Court sent General Lu to the imperial prison and changed the commander. I heard that the new commander is called Li Shan Quan.”
"Li Shanquan? Wasn't that the famous profligate son of the capital? Ugly and despicable. How did such a person become the commander of the Northern Yan Army?”
"Such trash can become the commander of the Northern Yan Army. His Majesty is indeed becoming more and more muddle-headed.”
"Of course. Look, since His Majesty ascended the throne, has he experienced anything good?”
"Shh, you can't say that."
"Sigh, something is going to happen to the Great Zhou."
......
At this moment, Emperor Yuan Tai didn't want to care about the people's opinions anymore.
After all, he was also furious!
He was the one who made the peace negotiations happen.
The princess was also married off.
In the end, this barbarian had slapped him in the face in the blink of an eye.
After the first letter from the Military and Political Affairs Office was sent out, he sent three more letters of accusation.
Eight hundred miles to the northern barbarians.
If the Northern Barbarians couldn't give him a satisfactory answer, he wouldn't let it go!
