BXBX NOVEL Chapter 443 - Great Victory
General Hu nodded his head with half-closed eyes: “That’s right, it is him.”
Zhu Yuan slowly put down the wine cup, which made his actions looked to be light and gentle: “This Marshal Wang seemed favored Prince Jin in the past. If he learned that the Iron Cavalry Camp and Black Battalion Army are gone, will he blame us?”
General Hu waved his hand: “No, no, what crime he will put us? Dispatching soldiers is our duty, aren’t the Iron Cavalry Camp and Black Battalion Army great? Aren’t they invincible? We let the two teams fight the enemy, isn’t that the right decision? If they can come back, they have the ability. If they can’t, then they don’t have the ability. Besides, by the time Marshal Wang gets here, those two camps will no longer exist. Even if he wants to convict us, who will he ask?”
When General Hu laughed wildly, General Shi also laughed. Zhu Yuan smiled, but his face was stiff.
At this time, a young soldier came in from the outside and shouted at the three of them: “Reporting!”
General Hu immediately regained his spirit, and said to the young soldier, “How is the battle?”
The young soldier reported loudly: “Answering back to the generals, our brothers in the Iron Cavalry Camp and Black Battalion Army were very brave. First, they sent a small group of people to sneak into the enemy’s big camp and burned their forages, making them fall in disorder, and then they sent the army on both sides of the weakest offensive. They strike straight the enemy’s heart, killing several generals. Now, the Xiye Army is in chaos, they suffered heavy casualties. At this time, the Xiye Army retreated 30 miles away.”
The wine cup that General Hu held in his hand fell to the ground, his opened mouth didn’t close for a long time: “What did you say? Xiye Army retreated?”
The young soldier nodded his head: “Answering back to the general, the Xiye Army retreated 30 miles away. The Iron Cavalry Camp came back early and brought a lot of captives. The captives have been sent to the East 7th Camp.”
Zhu Yuan was also shocked, he almost thinks that there was something wrong with his ears: “How many died and got injured in the Iron Cavalry Camp and Black Battalion Army?” Zhu Yuan asked.
General Hu returned to his senses and quickly said: “Yes, yes, how many died and got injured?”
The young soldier said: “Answering back to the two generals, according to Leader Mu, there were not more than 500 casualties.”
General Hu immediately stood up: “What? Not more than 500 casualties? How is this possible? How can this be?”
The young soldier was puzzled, shouldn’t General Hu be happy? Why was he getting angry? Isn’t it a good thing that there were only a few casualties?
When General Hu learned the matter, he immediately waved his hand toward the young soldier: “Get out, you have no business here.”
After leaving, General Hu immediately turned his head and looked at Zhu Yuan: “Zhu Yuan, say, is this possible? The Iron Cavalry Camp and Black Battalion Army, together, they have more or less 20,000 people, the Xiye Country sent 100,000 elite soldiers. This, this is impossible!”
Zhu Yuan suppressed the excitement in his eyes and pretended to be depressed: “Is it because they are desperate to come back alive so they killed all the enemy and won by surprised?”
General Hu shook his head: “No, it’s impossible. Before, they also joined the battlefield. Why didn’t we see them so brave?”
General Shi on the side said: “I don’t think it’s about being brave, but a trick. They have no chance of winning at all. The victory this time is a coincidence, and also a very clever one.”
General Hu asked: “What do you mean? Make it clear!”
