Chapter 175: Defeat

Last night, when Li Deming was about to rest, his adjutant hurried back to his tent and brought him some very bad news.

Except for the grain transport team from Qingyuan County, the other grain transport teams were unable to arrive here on time. Those grain transport teams had problems and encountered troubles. They either encountered a large number of beasts contaminated by demonic energy on the road, or were ambushed by the rebel forces and the grain was robbed, or they encountered bandits and robbers.

In short, all the grain transport teams had problems, and some even had the entire grain transport team wiped out, with no food and no people.

This shocked Li Deming and made him confused.

If only one grain transport team encountered this situation, it would be easy to explain, just an accidental situation, but now all the grain transport teams have encountered troubles, even the grain transport team from Qingyuan County that has arrived successfully, also encountered troubles on the road, which made Li Deming have to wonder if there is any conspiracy behind this matter.

However, now is not the time to consider the conspiracy behind this matter. Li Deming needs to make a decision immediately, whether to continue to defend here or retreat.

Even with the food and grass support from Qingyuan County, they can't hold on here for too long. At most three days, the food and grass in the camp will be exhausted. At that time, they will starve and collapse on their own. People will starve to death and deserters will appear. Therefore, Li Deming must make a decision immediately.

After discussing with several generals, Li Deming decided to launch a final attack on the city built by the people in the demon world. If the city can be taken down, then everything will be easy and all problems will be solved. If it is still the same as before, they can't take down the city, then they will immediately choose to retreat and leave here before the food runs out. Evacuate to the rear.

In order to ensure the success of this attack, Li Deming even wrote a letter to the army in the other three directions. He hoped that everyone could attack together and take down the city built by the people in the demon world in one fell swoop.

After receiving the letter sent by Li Deming, the commanders of the armies sent by the three countries also agreed to this action, which made Li Deming look forward to this action a little more.

However, Li Deming never expected that what awaited him was not victory, but failure, and it was a miserable defeat.

This made Li Deming a little unacceptable, and at the same time, he was confused.

Things shouldn't be like this.

His attack was carried out very suddenly, and the attack was launched early in the morning. The enemy should not be prepared. However, the fact is that the enemy not only prepared for a long time, but also arranged a large number of ambushes around them. When they were busy attacking, the ambushes on both sides immediately launched an attack and defeated Li Deming's army that was not prepared.

The reason why Li Deming didn't expect there would be an ambush on both sides was that there were armies from Maple Leaf Country and Tianji Country on both sides, and it was impossible for the people in the Demon Realm to quietly break through the defense of those people and ambush there.

However, Li Deming was still ambushed.

"General, the armies of the three countries did not attack as agreed before!" During the escape, Li Deming's adjutant came to him and reported the situation to him.

"These bastards!" Li Deming was so angry that he gritted his teeth.

Although there are occasional conflicts between the four countries, especially in recent years, there have been more and more conflicts between several countries, but when it comes to the people in the demon world, their attitude has always been consistent. This is the human world, the human world of humans, and no matter how many people from the demon world come, they must be driven away.

Therefore, Li Deming hoped that the armies of the four countries would join forces to attack the city. Even if they could not completely take it down, at least they could severely damage the army of the demon world.

However, Li Deming did not expect that those people would break their promises, and they broke their promises at the same time. Thinking of the ambushes from two directions that he had encountered before, Li Deming had reason to suspect that the two armies of Maple Leaf Country and Tianji Country had reached a tacit understanding with the army of the demon world, which led to the current situation.

If it was just that the people of those three countries were unwilling to cooperate in the attack, Li Deming would not be so angry. The key is that those people also provided convenience to the army of the demon world, causing huge casualties on his side, which could not help but make Li Deming angry.

It can be said that although the direct culprits of their defeat were the army of the demon world, the armies of the other three countries were definitely accomplices!

However, now is obviously not the time to scold those people. The army of the demon world is chasing them fiercely. He must find a way to take the remaining troops out of danger and get rid of the pursuers behind him.

Li Deming looked at one of the generals and said, "You lead a part of the army to stay behind. In addition, the prisoners in the camp are also under your command."

They are now on the run, and they definitely don't have the energy to take care of the prisoners in the camp. Instead of letting them escape and continue to rebel, it is better to stay as cannon fodder, which can also delay the enemy's attack.

In fact, if the Feiniao Battalion had not already set out, Li Deming would even want to leave the Feiniao Battalion behind to cover the rear. After all, in front of the regular army, the ragtag army had no status. If sacrificing the Feiniao Battalion could help more regular army soldiers escape, Li Deming would abandon the Feiniao Battalion without hesitation.

However, the Feiniao Camp had already set out, and in front of them, it was unrealistic to ask the people of the Feiniao Camp to stop and stop the enemy at this time.

The general was ordered to stay and stop the enemy, while Li Deming led a large force to get rid of the enemy's entanglement and quickly evacuate. Their food and grass could not last long, and after the failure of this attack, they just evacuated.

Wu Fan and his men were also fleeing. The entire battlefield was in chaos, and there were people everywhere, especially when the regular army soldiers caught up. Now it was even more chaotic, and there were people everywhere.

Wu Fan and his men were also dispersed in this situation. When evacuating, Wu Fan drove the carriage himself, and the members of his team sat in the carriage, because Wu Fan was the only one in the team who could drive the carriage, so the job of the groom naturally belonged to Wu Fan.

Wu Fan's riding skills some time ago were not practiced in vain. Although there is a difference between riding a horse and driving a carriage, Wu Fan quickly adapted to it, controlling the carriage, and moving forward flexibly among the crowd like a fish.
