Chapter 389 The tragedy of Banbu

Beihuan.

Since Yunzheng successfully led his troops to break out of the encirclement, Bambu became ill again.

This time, it's more serious than before.

Bambu understood that his previous improvement should just be a reflection of his past.

Just because he wanted to defeat Yunzheng so much and captured Yunzheng alive.

It was that little bit of faith that supported him and made his body miraculously improve.

But now, his hopes were completely dashed.

As that glimmer of faith dissipated, his life was coming to an end.

Looking at his mentor who seemed to have run out of oil, Gayao had already burst into tears.

How could my mentor from six years ago be so high-spirited!

At that time, he was the hero of the entire Beihuan!

But now, his mentor has become haggard.

Inexplicably, the scene of meeting her mentor for the first time ten years ago appeared in her mind again.

At that time, she had just turned nine years old.

"National Master, can I become your master?"

"Oh? Princess, didn't you just become your disciple a few days ago? Why do you want to become your disciple to me again?"

"I worship Bu Du as my teacher because I want to learn archery from him. I worship the National Master as my teacher because I want to learn how to lead troops and fight from him! My father said that the National Master is the smartest person on the grassland. Gayao I also want to become a smart person like the national master, so that when Ga Yao grows up, he can take care of his father's worries."

"Is that so? Then I will test the princess on a question. As long as the princess answers correctly, I will accept you as my disciple. How about that?"

"Please ask the National Master to come up with the question."

"If there is a rare horse in the world, but the horse has a very strong temper and cannot be tamed no matter what, what will the princess do?"

"Then kill him!"

"Oh? This is a rare BMW in the world! Why did the princess kill it?"

“Keeping a horse that cannot be used by people will only waste food!”

"Haha! From today on, I am the princess's teacher..."

Her mentor's smile still appeared in her mind.

But there was no smile on the face of the teacher in front of him, only endless sadness.

"Princess, don't... don't cry, everyone... will have this day, ahem..."

Banbu tried hard to raise his hand to wipe away the tears from Gayao's face.

But now, he doesn't even have the strength to raise his hand.

"Okay, Ga Yao don't cry!"

Gayao wiped away the tears on his face carelessly and held Banbu's hand tightly, "Teacher, please stop talking. You... you will definitely get better!"

When he said this, Gayao himself didn't believe it.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Bambu is on the verge of running out of gas.

"Lao Chan's situation, Lao Chan... is clear, the princess does not need to... comfort him."

Bambu shook his head with difficulty, and said feebly: "We can...not retreat now, but leave 30,000 to 40,000 people to hold on in the shoals in front of Gubian. We...should have food and grass for 30,000 to 40,000 people." ... I should be able to barely afford it. As long as we hold on there, once the Baishui River thaws, Da Gan will be... unable to attack..."

"No way!"

Jia Yao shook his head slightly and said with a face full of pain: "We have been defeated in a row and now we have no morale. If we stay there again, if the enemy troops charge, many people will probably flee directly. We need to retreat and regroup to regain morale." …”

Listening to Jia Yao's words, Banbu's pupils shrank suddenly, "Could it be that...there are deserters...in the camp?"

Jia Yao nodded lightly and continued: "In our current situation, even if the enemy turns the Fire Ox Formation I used against us, it will be difficult for us to resist it, and... a cunning person like Yun Zheng, There will definitely be other ways to break through our defenses..."

If their morale is high, the method mentioned by their mentor may still work.

But right now, they have no morale at all.

In just a few days, there were thousands of deserters in the camp.

These are actually not the most serious problems.

The most serious problem is that these soldiers are now frightened by Da Gan, and they are like a tight bowstring at any time.

At the slightest disturbance, the bowstring may break.

When the time comes, it won’t be a question of whether we can hold it or not!

It's a question of whether to blow up the camp or not!

If it were her, she would have many ways to make the enemy bomb the camp!

She believed that a cunning person like Yun Zheng would definitely find a way.

The consequences of bombing the camp are simply not something they can afford.

Listening to Gayao's analysis, Banbu couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

"Ugh……"

Yes!

Blow up the camp!

In the current Beihuan Army, there is really a possibility of bombing the camp at any time.

As long as the enemy takes advantage of the darkness and quietly sends dozens of people to kill them, bombing the camp is almost inevitable!

Once they blow up the camp, people in Daqian will probably go crazy with joy.

No need to defend anymore!

We really have to retreat!

If they don't revive their morale, they will kill Bei Huan'erlang!

"Then withdraw..."

After a long time, Banbu sighed feebly.

In this situation, retreat is really the only way to go.

"Teacher, don't worry."

Gayao held Bambu's hand tightly, "It's not like we don't have any chance!"

"Although Yunzheng and the others successfully broke through, one of Yunzheng and Wei Wenzhong will definitely die!"

"Once Yunzheng seizes the military power of the Beifu Army, even if Emperor Daqian is concerned about the natural dangers of Beilu Pass and does not directly send troops to attack the Beifu Army, their food and salary will be cut off!"

"At that time, the Beifu Army will also be unable to fight anymore..."

Fighting requires money and food!

The consumption during wartime was much greater than usual!

It is impossible for one Shuobei to support so many people in the Beifu Army.

Once the Beifu army fell into a situation of shortage of food and pay, no matter how cunning Yun Zheng was, he would not be able to attack Beihuan.

As long as the Beifu Army does not attack, they will have a chance to breathe and regain their strength.

"Yep……"

Banbu forced a smile on his face, "When we... have passed the crisis and regained our strength, we will... seek revenge from Yunzheng again! We... still have a chance... ahem..."

Bambu coughed as he spoke.

hope!

There is still hope for Beihuan!

As long as Daqian doesn't completely beat Beihuan to death, Beihuan still has hope!

It's a pity that he is destined not to see that day.

After thinking about it, Banbu feebly said to Jia Yao: "Trouble... the princess sent Old Man... back to the Royal Court, Old Man... Old Man still wants to... take another look at the Royal Court, even... once..."

"it is good!"

Jia Yao nodded vigorously and said with red eyes: "I will personally send my mentor back to the royal court right now!"

"No... no trouble princess..."

Banbu shook his head with difficulty, "Princess... still needs to lead... the army to retreat. We can't do it for the sake of old age..."

"must!"

Gayao interrupted Bambu and looked at Bambu with wet eyes, "The army is retreating, and there is no need for Gayao to lead it!"

"Jia Yao failed to catch Yunzheng for his teacher, Jia Yao is sorry for his teacher!"

"I beg my mentor to let Jia Yao accompany my mentor through the last part of the journey..."

As he spoke, the tears in Gayao's eyes fell like broken beads.

Banbu looked at Jia Yao with dull eyes, hesitated for a long time, and finally nodded with difficulty...
