Chapter 1271 The Way Forward Is Broken

The battle of Wang Ben's army to break out of the encirclement was a tempering of blood and fire. Facing the enemy's siege and interception, the soldiers of the Qin army with less than 40,000 soldiers could only desperately break through.

At noon, the army finally broke out.

After rushing out of the encirclement, Wang Ben glanced at the scattered soldiers around him, and a trace of grief flashed in his eyes. The number of 70,000 sons at the time of the expedition was less than 20,000.

"Boys, let's go home!"

The enemy was still pursuing, and Wang Ben had no time to sigh.

In the next two days, one of the warring parties chased and the other fled, and they continued to move towards the ancient Tang-Fan Road. On October 23rd, at two o'clock in the afternoon, Wang Benbu finally arrived at Hantam Pasha Castle.

"Open the door, open the door quickly, we are the Great Xia Army!"

The generals of the Qin army shouted for a long time, but the gate of the ancient castle remained motionless. When they looked up, they saw Mongolian soldiers standing on the wall of the ancient castle, without answering, just looking at Wang Ben and his party playfully.

Wang Ben was so smart, his heart sank immediately, he had a bad premonition, he patted his horse and stepped forward, and asked, "I am Wang Ben of Daxia, if you don't open the door, aren't you afraid that the empire will punish you?"

"..."

What responded to Wang Ben was deathly silence.

Wang Ben's eyes were fixed, and the situation was already obvious. In just a short period of ten days, something must have happened within the Mongol Empire, and they were blatantly shut out.

"Young commander!" The deputy general walked over anxiously, "The enemy is about to catch up."

Wang Ben took one last look at the castle, and turned around brazenly, "Shall we go?"

"Where are you going?"

"Go straight to the east and join the main force of the right-wing army." Wang Ben made up his mind.

"This……"

The lieutenant-general was worried, hesitant to speak.

This place is thousands of miles away from the front line, and the way is full of enemy territory. There were interceptions in the front and pursuers in the back. With only 20,000 of them, and no food supply, it was really difficult to break out of the encirclement.

"We have no choice!"

Wang Ben is very rational. When there is no other choice, the only choice is the best choice.

The Hantampasha Castle in front of us is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is difficult to take it down. Moreover, the enemy troops behind may catch up at any time, and there is no time.

Taking ten thousand steps back, even if they forcibly captured the Khantampasha Castle, with the attitude of the Mongolian soldiers today, they would not even think about passing through the Wokuotai Khanate smoothly.

"Walk!"

The 20,000 army turned and retreated eastward.

Seeing the guards of Hantam Pasha Castle, they finally couldn't hold back and laughed unscrupulously. The laughter was so ear-piercing that Wang Ben wanted to turn around and go back to deal with these bastards.

But Wang Ben didn't, he just went east with a gloomy face.

…………

Tubo, Amdo city.

Upon receiving the message from his son Wang Ben, Wang Jian's face turned livid.

"You bastard, if anything happens to my son, I'll never let you down." Wang Jian rarely lost his demeanor, wishing he could lead his troops to rescue immediately.

Fortunately, the perennial military career allowed Wang Jian to maintain a semblance of reason.

Wang Jian knew very well that the right-wing army alone might not be able to rescue Wang Ben's troops, and he would also be charged with the crime of disobeying military orders and dragging all the soldiers of the Qin army into the abyss.

Without hesitation, Wang Jian immediately contacted coach Li Jing.

Li Jing was also very surprised when he got the report, "There is such a thing, is the Mongol Empire crazy?"

Wang Jian said: "Commander, please order me to lead my troops westward to meet Wang Ben's troops."

Li Jing didn't hesitate, and said: "Don't worry, general, Wang Ben's troops are going to carry out the mission of the empire, and the empire will never abandon them. Not only your right-wing army, but the left-wing army will also march westward together."

"Thank you, Marshal!" A trace of gratitude flashed across Wang Jian's eyes.

If the left and right wings attack together, the possibility of success is much greater. Wang Jian did not expect that Li Jing was so forthright, and finally had a little bit of approval for the empire in his heart.

More than that, Li Jing went on to say: "I will report this matter to His Majesty immediately, the Wokuotai Khanate dared to do such a treacherous thing, it is simply asking for death."

As one of the Big Three in the Imperial Army, Li Jing spoke with full confidence.

"Thank you, handsome!"

Wang Jian clasped his fists together again, and the empire would surely give Wang Ben and the others justice.

With the military order from the command headquarters, Wang Jian led the entire right-wing army and marched westward without further delay. Saving people is like fighting a fire, there is no room for delay.

"Ben'er, you must persevere." Wang Jian was so anxious that he prayed silently in his heart.

At the same time, Tian Dan, the commander of the left-wing army, also received a military order from the headquarters, and led his troops to march westward, supporting each other with the right-wing army, and entered the hinterland of Tubo together.

The only difference from the military order obtained by Wang Jian is that Li Jing also asked Tian Dan to wipe out the enemy's vital forces as much as possible while advancing westward, so as to create conditions for the Chinese army to capture Luoxie City.

Tian Dan naturally understood.

Li Jing is worthy of being a first-class general. Although the incident happened suddenly, he was still in a crisis. He immediately caught a glimpse of a fighter, and firmly grasped it, preparing to deal a fatal blow to the enemy.

Strictly speaking, Wang Ben's department has overfulfilled the combat tasks assigned by the high command, not only disrupting the enemy's food supply, but also maiming the 500,000 troops newly sent by the Ashoka Dynasty.

In this way, the war situation will be good for Daxia.

Right now, the armies on the left and right wings are advancing westward, not only to meet Wang Ben's troops, but also to sweep the hinterland of Tubo, officially cutting off the external support of Luoxie City.

In this way, these cities have become the turtle in the urn.

Under the explicit order of the High Command, the Central Route Army and the Central Guard Army immediately stepped up their offensive against some cities.

If there is no accident, the battle of Tubo will soon be decided.

…………

On October 24, the capital.

Early in the morning, Ouyang Shuo received an urgent report from Li Jing, and his face instantly became gloomy, even more inconceivable. Because just yesterday, Hara and Lin came to report that they would send envoys to the capital in the near future to discuss the issue of surrender.

Never thought that such an embarrassing thing would happen in the blink of an eye.

"Come on!"

"exist!"

"Send Zhang Yi!"

"promise!"

Soon, Zhang Yi, who had just entered the Yamen, hurried to the Imperial Study Room, "See Your Majesty!"

Ouyang Shuo talked about Hantam Pasha Castle, and asked, "What does Ai Qing think about this matter?"

Zhang Yi was also shocked, hesitated for a moment, and said just now: "I have heard that Genghis Khan Temujin intentionally passed the position of Khan to his fourth son Tuo Lei, will this cause Okuotai to hold a grudge, and this is why Hantan Mupa Xia Castle garrison refused to let go?"

Ouyang Shuo sighed, "The Mongols are really rebellious."

Zhang Yi's heart trembled, he didn't know how this matter would affect the Mongolian Empire's surrender, let alone whether His Majesty would change his strategy towards the Mongolian Empire because of this matter.

"Ask what's going on in Mongolia and give an explanation to the court as soon as possible," Ouyang Shuo ordered.

"yes!"

Zhang Yi didn't dare to be negligent, and immediately turned around to do it. He had a vague premonition that Mongolia was about to blow up.
