The First Tyrant of Daxia

For a moment, all the generals who participated in the battle today could not help but express their own thoughts on fighting.

Most of the generals were complaining that Bachmann's army was like crazy, rushing forward recklessly, like a gambler who was forced into a corner.

This was certainly because Bachmann's army had collectively "gone crazy", but more importantly, these generals wanted to shirk their responsibilities.

After all, they suffered a great defeat this time, and Qin Yun seemed to be in a bad mood and about to get angry. They did not dare to anger Qin Yun at this time.

Most of them are not Qin Yun's subordinates.

Most of these generals were commanders of soldiers in the armies of Grantham, Gavin and others.

The reason why these people serve Qin Yun in Qin Yun's tent is simply because their masters, Grantham, Gavin, Jonah, and Lowell, are all under Qin Yun's control.

They had to obey Qin Yun's words because their master ordered them to serve Qin Yun, so they could only choose to obey Qin Yun.

Otherwise, given Qin Yun's character, if there was any resistance, the four people of Grantham would definitely not survive.

But there is a subtle problem here.

These generals were not Qin Yun's direct subordinates. Although they obeyed Qin Yun's orders, they did not have much sense of belonging in their hearts. Many of them even had opinions about Qin Yun.

After all, it was not Qin Yun who paid them food and wages, but the four people of Grantham. They had to be loyal to Qin Yun, and they had no sense of responsibility in their hearts.

Of course, they didn't dare to do anything that was hypocritical. After all, this was in Qin Yun's military camp. If they dared to do so, Qin Yun would simply destroy them.

They don't want to die, so they dare not resist openly.

However, many of them were typical pretentious people, pretending to be desperately commanding the troops to fight, but in fact it was not the case. They were secretly very afraid of their lives and did not fight with their full strength at all.

This is a typical case of working without putting in any effort. They didn't fight this battle seriously at all. They were all just slacking off and trying to appease Qin Yun.

But when Qin Yun was about to discuss the reasons for the defeat in this war, they couldn't help but shift the blame, fearing that they would be caught and questioned by Qin Yun.

After listening to the summaries of those Western generals, Qin Yun's face remained calm, and there was no change in his heart.

Qin Yun then turned his gaze towards the generals leading the Shenji Camp and asked, "What about you? Tell me what you think about this defeat? Why was it that beating them yesterday was like a father beating his son, but today the result is the opposite, and we are being chased and beaten?"

Several generals of the Shenji Camp immediately lowered their heads in shame.

Mu Le's face didn't look very good either. Since he became more mature, he rarely experienced such tragic defeats.

An army of 200,000 went into battle, and fought a fierce battle with Bachmann's army of 200,000. More than 70,000 of them were killed by the local troops. Together with those who were killed while fleeing, the death toll reached 80,000.

There were quite a few injured soldiers, and the 200,000-strong army suffered heavy losses.

The soldiers of the Shenji Camp were very powerful and there were basically not many deaths. Most of them were injured soldiers.

In fact, many of the soldiers who died in the battle were soldiers like Grantham, who were commanded by Western generals who were not in harmony with them.

But this defeat actually belonged to him, Mu Le, because this war was led by him, Mu Le. If he was defeated, it would be a shameful record for him.

This made Mu Le a little unbearable. If the soldiers he led into battle today were all soldiers from the Shenji Camp, there would never have been such a disastrous defeat today.

There were some things that were stuck in his throat and he didn't know how to say them.

"Speak! Are you mute?!" Qin Yun slammed the table in front of him, and it shattered instantly, with wood chips flying everywhere.

Everyone was shocked.

A general stammered, "Your Majesty, I think the reason why this battle was so tragic is that we underestimated the enemy before the war started."

Qin Yun nodded slightly. "Finally, someone has something useful to say. What about you? Don't you have anything to say?!"

He turned his gaze towards the other several Shenjiying generals.

Upon seeing this, the other generals quickly expressed their thoughts.

"Your Majesty, I feel that in the middle of this battle, we were already being led by the enemy, causing our battle to collapse like a landslide."

"Your Majesty, I feel that our fighting spirit does not seem to be as high as the opponent's for some reason?"

.........

Several generals from the Shenji Camp expressed their feelings one after another.

Qin Yun nodded slightly. His men were more loyal and pointed out all the problems in this battle. Unlike those Western generals, they were just wasting time and talking about all kinds of nonsense that had little to do with this battle.

Then he looked at Mu Le, who had a gloomy expression.

Mu Le lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, I am the commander-in-chief of the army in this battle. No matter what the problem is, as the commander-in-chief, I did not discover it in advance and solve it immediately. This is my fault. Please punish me, Your Majesty!"

Hearing Mu Le's words, Qin Yun did show a gratified smile on his face, "Ah Le, I am very pleased that you can stand up and take the blame for this battle alone, because you are a person who is brave enough to take responsibility."

"But I won't execute a general before a battle. You are the commander of the army. If I punish you, who will lead the troops to fight? Let's put aside the issue of responsibility for now. I will allow you to make meritorious contributions while serving your sentence."

Qin Yun raised his head and swept his eyes over everyone with an indifferent look, "Do you have any opinions?"

"no!"

The Western generals quickly smiled and shook their heads.

Qin Yun wanted to let today's defeat pass. They were not fools, so there was no need to confront Qin Yun head-on. It would not be good for anyone.

As for the generals of the Shenjiying, they are all our own people, so there will be no problem at all.

Qin Yun pressed his hand and motioned for Mu Le to sit down.

He said slowly: "I guess everyone must have felt very frustrated in today's battle, right?"

“Isn’t it?!”

"feels awful!"

"I wish I could just charge over there and destroy their lair!"

A number of generals spoke up in agreement.

But in fact, what these Western generals were thinking in their hearts was that they were not injured in this battle, which was really lucky.

Qin Yun said: "The fighting power of the Bachman army today is indeed very fierce. It is indeed very different from the fighting power of yesterday, which was like a little lamb."

"It really is!"

"That's it!"

"We would fight desperately, but in the end we didn't win."

Western generals continued to echo.
