Defeated?

Li Shuangan was anxious to report, feeling extremely complicated.

He and Yuchi Hedao led an army of 150,000 people on land, and also united with several countries, and the force once reached 200,000 people.

But when advancing westward, he was betrayed.

Subsequently, they were attacked by the Third Navy of the Western Regions of the Ming Dynasty. They were attacked from both sides and suffered more than 30,000 casualties.

In other words, including the people at the headquarters, their losses have reached half.

The army of 400,000 was reduced sharply to 200,000.

Among these 200,000 people, many were injured.

Now Li Sixun asked him to withdraw his troops and take over the military power in his hands, but he returned to Beijing to plead guilty.

They have already lost this battle.

It's just that the war is not over yet, they have not surrendered yet, and the next step is grinding.

Rely on delaying tactics and occupy the high ground to make up for the gap in weapons.

Anyway, the Ming Dynasty did not raid the Western Regions, and there is a high probability that they will not attack the Western Regions in the future.

Then this corrupt situation may remain for a long time in the future.

And these 200,000 people are related to Daqian's control over the Western Regions in the future.

You can suffer defeat, but you cannot admit defeat.

Once they admit defeat, Da Qian's influence in the Western Regions will shrink significantly.

It will be difficult to expand westward in the future.

"General, what do you say?" Yuchi looked at Li Shuang'an domineeringly, his expression full of helplessness. His father hadn't even rushed over, and the battle was lost.

To be honest, he has participated in many wars, but this is the first time he has seen such a powerful enemy.

"Withdraw!" Li Shuang'an sighed, "There's no point in continuing the fight. We can't stand it if we use up all these people!"

"Damn it, I've long said that Qin Mo has evil intentions and hides all the good things!" Yuchi scolded domineeringly.

"If it weren't for my brother-in-law, would Daqian have these weapons?" Li Shuangan looked at Yuchi Domineering coldly.

Yuchi gave a domineering laugh, "General, things are different now!"

"Who has no selfish motives?" Li Shuang'an said: "The Ming Dynasty stopped fighting to celebrate the saint's birthday, and even carried out sneak attacks..."

Li Shuangan didn't say the rest, but Yuchi's overbearing power was already clear.

The raids were unsuccessful, and at the critical moment, they stopped and asked them to surrender.

This war is not a crime of war.

The great Ming Dynasty has done its utmost to be benevolent and righteous.

If your skills are inferior to others, what else can you say?

"Take your troops and go back. From now on, these territories will belong to the Ming Dynasty!" Li Shuang'an sighed heavily, "Return to defend the fortress. It's not that easy for the Ming Dynasty to break the fortress!"

As the trumpet sounded to withdraw troops, the cavalry returned to the defense.

This battle was too complete a defeat.

Although it also caused damage to the Ming Dynasty, compared with the battle damage, it was insignificant.

Soon, the news of Li Shuangan's withdrawal reached the Third Navy Base.

Zheng Fengnian clenched his fist and said happily: "Okay, we won this battle. From now on, the Western Region will be our Ming Dynasty's back garden!"

Immediately, everyone in the camp congratulated him one after another.

Zheng Fengnian was also happy, but he had not yet been carried away by the joy: "Continue to follow them to see if they have really retreated, and to guard against the other side's tricks."

The next day, the scouts came to report and confirmed that the Daqian cavalry had retreated. Only then did Zheng Fengnian send a telegram to tell the news to Meixun Base and Nanguo Base.

Then the three bases began to report damage.

The final statistics showed that there were more than 10,000 casualties, more than 30 battleships were damaged, and 50 million taels of silver were lost.

In less than a month of war, the Ming Dynasty's treasury revenue was wiped out for nearly half a year.

The next pension will be a huge expense.

But it doesn't matter, they have as many as 100,000 prisoners in their hands.

Let the other party provide money to redeem the person.

Subsequently, the three bases began to continue to be reinforced, and the battle between Daming and Daqian gradually turned into a local war and an intelligence station.

The Ming Dynasty's national prestige was greatly shaken, and the countries in the Western Regions even bowed to it.

No one expected that the Ming Dynasty, less than ten years after its founding, would defeat the Eastern giant in one battle.

Although in their eyes, the giant Ming Dynasty was split from the east.

This also proves that the only ones who can defeat them are our own people!

Chai Rong, the Cheng family brothers, and Dou Yiai also returned to the Moxun base.

"I'm going back to my country to report the news first." Chai Rong said: "This battle is basically won. Even if Daqian still wants to go to war, it won't be that easy to mobilize hundreds of thousands of people.

We have so many prisoners on our hands, and they have to weigh them."

Qin Tian nodded, "We are still under great pressure to raise these 100,000 prisoners, and most of the artillery shells have been lost, so we need to replenish them urgently.

This is a list of supplies. I didn’t even include some items that can be purchased in the Western Region!"

Chai Rong took the list and nodded, "Two months at most. The time required for large-scale deployment will definitely be longer than ours."

"General Chai, can you build an arsenal in this base so that we can also produce some simple firearms, such as reloading ammunition, and also reduce the pressure on the court!" Qin Tiandao.

"I will play this," Chai Rong said.

After deciding what to do after returning, Chai Rong boarded the ship and sailed back without taking too many people with him.

I saw too many acquaintances this time, and many acquaintances died in this battle.

He thought he would be happy.

After all, he took revenge on Da Gan, but in fact, he was not happy about it.

His former teammates were at each other's throats, and he couldn't even make a move.

I hope there won’t be another fight in the future.

Soon, news from the Western Regions reached Daqian.

When news of the scouts entered the palace, Li Shilong was in a good mood.

As the weather got warmer, he got rid of the oxygen tank and his breathing became much more comfortable. Although his lungs still felt a little stuffy, he no longer felt uncomfortable.

But this good mood completely shattered after the scouts arrived.

"Report, your majesty, urgent report from the Western Regions. Duke Lianghua led 30,000 naval troops to raid the Ming Dynasty Southern Navy Base. Unfortunately, they were ambushed. In order to achieve a breakthrough, they used themselves as bait and died in the sea!"

At that moment, there was deathly silence in the Tai Chi Palace. Li Shilong felt like he couldn't breathe. He held the document and asked in an unbelievable tone: "What did you say?"

"Your Majesty, the Duke of Lianghua County died. Of the more than 30,000 soldiers, only less than a thousand escaped.

In addition, the casualties at Dashi Base have reached 60,000, and if you add one more, it will be close to 90,000!"

boom!

Li Shilong pressed his hands on the desk, breathing heavily, his eyes round, his lips trembling, "Send the urgent report!"

The scout didn't dare to breathe, he knelt on the ground and raised the emergency report above his head.

The big dog was overjoyed when he heard this, but his face remained calm, even pretending to be anxious, and he hurried down to get the urgent report.

Li Shilong didn't even check, he tore open the envelope and looked at the urgent report written by Li Sixun, almost unable to stand still.

According to the time in the letter, it had only been half a month since the war started, and it had already lost 90,000 people.
Chapter completed!
