At noon.
There were bursts of noise outside the tent. Liu Feng was awakened by the noise. Rubbing his eyes, he saw the two brothers of the Linghu family coming in angrily.
"What's going on?"
"Reinforcements are coming."
"The most crucial battle in Tianyong City has already been fought. What's the point of them coming here?"
Liu Feng said this unhappily, rubbed his eyes and was about to go back to sleep.
"Reinforcements are coming, but their commander is a piece of shit. He's causing trouble in the Fengling Army camp right now."
Liu Feng suddenly woke up.
"What's he making such a fuss about? Is he going to leave the city and chase the northern barbarians?"
The two brothers of the Linghu family gave Liu Feng a thumbs up, saying he was simply a god.
"General, you are truly a prophet. You can even guess this."
"Hurry up, go to the Fengling Army camp immediately. Such a good opportunity cannot be missed."
"I want to see how this noble concubine's younger brother, the son of the old Grand Tutor, acts."
Liu Feng hurriedly packed up and left the tent.
The openings of his clothes were still open, which showed how excited he was.
"That's good now. With the general's presence, that little General Pang shouldn't rashly lead his army out of the city."
"Yes, this General Pang is really reckless. He chased out so recklessly and fought a battle with the Northern Barbarians. I wonder how many of our soldiers will be killed or injured."
"Besides, the situation is very good now."
"Yes, this is a good situation, we can definitely defend it."
Listening to the discussions behind him, Liu Feng suddenly turned around.
"You two."
"I went to persuade him?"
"You're overthinking it. I'll just fan the flames, support him, and encourage him."
"Is it easy for a dandy boy like me to become a general? I've endured so much hardship all the way to get here, and you guys can't even show some sympathy for me."
"This is a tremendous achievement. How can I be willing to let such a great military achievement go to waste?"
"You generals are so ignorant. Xiaoshan is really so ignorant."
"Why should we persuade them? We should just support them openly."
The two brothers of the Linghu family were stunned for a moment.
It was a long time before Linghu Chongshan reacted. He gave Linghu Yuanshan a look while walking out.
"No, brother, don't you think it's strange for the general to say that?"
"It's very strange."
Linghu Yuanshan also heard something unusual.
"But I think that every decision the general makes may seem irrational, but the final result is perfect."
"The general must have a deep meaning behind this."
"Let's not speculate too much, it's hard to guess."
Linghu Yuanshan nodded meaningfully. The two had reached an agreement. Without saying anything, they just followed Liu Feng silently, galloping on horseback, and soon arrived at the Fengling Army camp.
At this moment, inside the Fengling Army tent.
"It's true that the Northern Barbarian army has retreated, but they still have over ten thousand elite soldiers ready to fight. If you chase them like this, the army will inevitably suffer unimaginable heavy losses."
"Don't forget, the Northern Barbarian Army is best at field battles. They use cavalry on a large scale, and we are no match for them."
"Besides, General Pang, you have come from afar, and your army is exhausted. How can you fight against the Northern Barbarian army that has rested all night?"
"Leaving the city now would mean taking our brothers to their deaths."
Linghu Xiaoshan was very excited. She could never imagine why the court would send such a brainless general.
It's all because of his family connections and the influence of that imperial concubine.
He didn't care about Pang Shouyang's life, but the 10,000 people he brought were all living lives, and they were the hope of their parents, wives and children.
After Pang Shouyang received the news that the northern barbarians had begun to surround Tianyong City, he set off with his army.
If we don't leave, we will miss the opportunity to take military action. So we set up camp again halfway through our journey.
Until the scouts reported, the Fengling Army had defended Tianyong City and the Northern Barbarian Army had retreated twenty miles.
Only then did he order the army to break camp and set off, and they marched quickly to Tianyong City.
He was afraid that he would come too late and not gain any military merit.
As soon as I entered Tianyong City this morning, I started my own cool moves.
Without asking about the casualties of the Fengling Army, he went straight to the training ground, clamoring to reorganize the army and go out of the city to fight a decisive battle with the Northern Barbarian Army.
This made Linghu Xiaoshan very angry.
"The Northern Barbarians are losing their morale. You said so."
"You said that the Northern Barbarian army's commander was killed by that guy and a few others."
"In yesterday's battle, the Northern Barbarian army suffered a crushing defeat. Not only was they nearly annihilated, but the cavalry also suffered heavy losses. This is beyond doubt."
"I just don't understand. With such a good opportunity, why can't we pursue it?"
"The Northern Barbarians' cavalry is formidable, but does that mean our Dali cavalry is inferior? Are we afraid of death?"
"The three thousand cavalrymen I brought with me are all elite soldiers in the army. I think you are only boosting others' morale and destroying your own prestige."
Pang Shouyang became more and more excited as he spoke.
Linghu Xiaoshan was very helpless.
Pang Shouyang was just a playboy in Kyoto. Although he was a general, he had never been on the battlefield. Naturally, he didn't know that the pursuit at this moment would inevitably lead to a disastrous failure.
The Northern Barbarians have retreated twenty miles and are now fifty miles away from Tianyong City. By the time you lead your army to attack them, their men and horses will be exhausted, but they are well-rested and waiting for you to tire yourself out.
In this situation, the three thousand cavalrymen were living targets for the Northern Barbarians, waiting to be killed.
