"In this way, for Meng Yangcheng, isn't this reinforcement very important?" When Ah Yu heard Ah Zheng's analysis, he suddenly felt the importance of what he was witnessing.

Ah Zheng nodded: "The defense of Mengyang City should be in urgent need of this support army from the Mansi Village Battalion, which may be the key to the battle of the entire Mengyang City for the military master." ”

"That's why he was so anxious to have people send letters overnight, in order to deliver the news to the Barbarian Temple Village as soon as possible." Ah Yu felt that he had fully understood this matter now, although he had not seen the information content of the letter with his own eyes, but based on what he saw at the moment, combined with speculation, the result should be seven or eight out of ten.

Ah Zheng glanced at Ah Yu affirmatively, and added with a serious expression: "But now, Ah Yu, Duo Zi'an has not come for a long time, how should we report to the military master?" ”

"If Duozi'an doesn't come back, we can't be sure what happened in the Mansi Village, and the specific arrangements of the army in the Mansi Village camp." Ah Yu thought about it, and also felt that things had become a little more troublesome than he had originally thought: "Under normal circumstances, after Duo Zi'an comes back, we should have to reply to Meng Yangcheng and Mang Ancient Castle. ”

"And now are we going to reply?" Ah Zheng asked.

"You shouldn't be able to reply casually, if you don't know the specific situation, that is, the actions of the Barbarian Temple Zhai Barracks, you rashly provide the wrong news to Mang Ancient Castle, this kind of thing will bring trouble to everyone, and the military master will not tolerate this kind of mistake." Ah Yu was a little timid, the military master was a gentle and elegant person, but he didn't think that the military master was a tolerant enough person to be magnanimous to this level of mistakes.

"But ·······" Ah Zheng heard Ah Yu's decision, and his face became a little ugly, as if he was hesitating something.

"But what?" Ah Yu persuaded: "The transmission of information is a matter of Duo Zi'an, he has not come back now, and if he does not come back, we have no way to enter the Mansi Zhai camp, we cannot get specific and conclusive information, we do not transmit information to Mang Ancient Castle and Mengyang City, we are abiding by the rules, not a mistake; But if the wrong information is passed on rashly, it is our responsibility. ”

Ah Zheng still shook his head: "Although Duo Zi'an is the person in charge, we are also members of the Barbarian Temple Village Reception Point, and it is our task to transmit information. ”

"I want to choose not to make mistakes, Duo Zi'an can't come back now, obviously something is wrong, I don't want to mess with this mess." Ah Yu still shook his head: "Next is you on duty, I went back to rest, I waited all night, and I didn't see half a shadow of Duo Zi'an coming back, I don't know what went wrong in the Mansi camp." ”

"Ah Yu!" Ah Zheng saw that Ah Yu actually left himself and walked towards the stairs below the bamboo building, and hurriedly persuaded him, wanting to stop him.

But Ah Yu's obviously showed a lot of determination, he has always adhered to a truth, there is always nothing wrong with doing things according to the rules, which is also what the military master has repeatedly emphasized, and now there is no accurate information that Duo Zi'an brought back from the Mansi Zhai camp, so he will judge in vain that he will have to bear a lot of responsibility to report back to Mang Castle and Mengyang City.

Ah Zheng saw that Ah Yu had already started to go downstairs, gritted his teeth, and chased after him, and finally stopped Ah Yu when he walked out of the door of the bamboo building and was about to walk in front of another bamboo building where they were about to take a break. He panted and said, "Ah Yu, do you know how many troops have left the barbarian temple camp in my estimate? ”

"How much?" Ah Yu asked subconsciously.

"Fifteen thousand people, about this number, at most five thousand people can come and go, but the number of cavalry is a few thousand, and at least two or three thousand." Ah Zheng replied.

"So much?" Ah Yu was stunned by this number, he just felt that the team coming out of the barbarian temple village was surprisingly long, but he didn't make a specific estimate because of the shock, and when he heard this number, he stopped for a while: "Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?" ”

"I've never missed information, you know, I've got a good eye." Ah Zheng smiled. Ah Yu understands this, before joining the Secret Academy, both of them were members of the hunting team, and they were responsible for hunting all kinds of small animals on weekdays.

Unlike other hunting teams that fight large beasts or set traps for hunting, people like them who hunt small animals are lightweight, but also very good at shooting from a distance, and in the words of the master, they are "snipers".

These so-called "snipers", after the establishment of the Secret Academy, many of them joined the Secret Institute and were responsible for intelligence work, which is inseparable from their two characteristics, one is naturally lightweight, not easy to expose or make other mistakes in reconnaissance and operations, and the other is the basis that supports their shooting ability: eyesight and judgment.

Ah Zheng is one of them with the best eyesight, if it is not for his physical fitness is relatively thin, his grades are not good in cultural learning, especially Mandarin is not very good, he may also be able to become the person in charge of a place and serve as a branch secretary.

"More than fifteen thousand, that's a lot of numbers." Ah Yu felt that this time, he couldn't be alone.

Different from the Luchuan army, the Ming army is better than the Luchuan army in terms of equipment, materials and training level, and the price is relatively small in the number of troops, often in actual battles, the ratio of troops between the Ming army and the Luchuan army can reach the point of one to three.

At first, when the troops were selected to stay in Mengyang City, it was estimated that the Luchuan people could still take out a maximum of 20,000 troops, so they left about 7,000 experienced veterans of the Qujing Four Guards as a garrison.

But at the moment, Mengyangcheng is obviously unable to hold it, and the number of reinforcements asked for is actually 15,000, but this 15,000 people can resist about 40,000 Luchuan troops, so according to the rules, the Luchuan army that threatens Mengyangcheng is obviously more than 40,000.

Ah Yu originally thought that this fifteen thousand people was enough, but after calculating it like this, he felt that the threat of the possible Luchuan Army made people's scalps tingle.

It's no wonder that the military lord would ask for help so urgently, is the power sent by the enemy this time so amazing.

"Ah Zheng, you say, can we still defend Mengyang City this time?" Ah Yu was a little panicked, he felt that the sleepiness accumulated overnight had disappeared, and he was completely sleepy, so he stopped and asked Ah Yu.

"If the reinforcements can arrive, it should be possible, this is the elite soldiers of 15,000 battalions, I don't believe that the Luchuan army can come up with so many people to be our enemy." Ah Zheng replied, and hesitated a little: "It's just..."

"Just what?" Ah Yu asked.

"If the reinforcements can't arrive, I'm afraid Mengyang City will be difficult to hold." Ah Zheng shook his head: "The troops sent by the big battalion are several times the strength of the entire defense line of Mengyang City at the moment, and it takes so many reinforcements to resist the attack of the Luchuan army, and it is difficult to hold it on your own." ”

As a member of the Secret Academy, Ah Yu also knew a lot about the military deployment in the Mengyang area, and after listening to Ah Zheng's words, he nodded a little dejectedly: "You are right, there are still more than 5,000 defenders in Mengyang City, but scattered throughout the defense line, there is no place with more than 2,000 people, and because of the rout of several defense lines in Heping Town and Indoji Great Lake, the defense line we have is actually just Bilu Village, Nanma Village and Mengyang City, and there is not much buffer. ”

"With the defense of Mengyang City, how long can it resist the Luchuan army? Presumably, the military lord will be called up and lead his troops to defend the palace. Ah Zheng took over: "I'm afraid our Mang Castle will not be spared." ”

"And what do you mean?" Ah Yu vaguely seemed to understand what Ah Zheng meant.

Ah Zheng saw that Ah Yu seemed to understand what he meant, so he slowly spoke out his deeper thinking and analysis: "Therefore, the existence of reinforcements is the key to whether Mengyangcheng can be defended, if the reinforcements are not available, Mengyangcheng will not be able to hold it, and if the reinforcements arrive, Mengyangcheng will have a certain chance to be able to hold it." ”

"You mean that the intelligence of the reinforcements may affect the judgment of the military master?" Ah Yu and Ah Zheng have been working together for a long time, and they are also smart people, so they chatted and basically figured out what Ah Zheng meant.

"Not only the military master, but also all the other high-ranking officers in Meng Yangcheng, as well as their subordinate troops." Ah Zheng said: "If they can receive the news of the reinforcements in time, they will be able to arrange tactics and strategic choices with the Luchuan army according to the intelligence of the reinforcements." What I am worried about is that because the military lords did not receive news of reinforcements, they chose to give up and flee in the garrison of Mengyang City, so that the first consequence was that the efforts of the Luchuan army in order to hold Mengyang City for half a year were in vain; The second thing is that our Mang Castle may fall into the hands of the Luchuan people, and everyone has nowhere to go; The last thing is that the military master will also be in danger, whether it is the danger of fleeing, or the danger of being punished by a higher general, the reinforcements have been sent, the price has been paid, but the due harvest has not been received, the military master will naturally not be happy at that time, and we, as the parties to this matter, if the military master finds out the identity, we will not be let go. ”

"You've got it, it's really thoughtful." Listening to Ah Zheng's warning, Ah Yu's face has completely stiffened, and he realizes that he is now in an extremely critical and embarrassing situation, on the one hand, he has found key information, but there is a great ambiguity in the information.

If you submit this information, you may be responsible for making mistakes, but if you don't submit it, you may make even bigger mistakes, not only to yourself, but also to more others.

"So, what is your choice?" Ah Yu sighed deeply, he didn't think about it so deeply, and he felt that he could push everything on Duo Zi'an, he didn't have to bear too much, he didn't have to think too much, just follow the rules, but now it seems that it is precisely because of Duo Zi'an's absence that he should take on more obligations.

This is an unavoidable obligation for him as the secret army of the Secret Academy, the most trusted and powerful subordinate of the military master.

"Immediately in the name of the Mansi Zhai receiving point, send back information to Mengyang City, the reinforcements of the Mansi Village have set off on the twenty-first day of June, of which the cavalry is estimated to be 3,000 people, and the infantry army is estimated to be 15,000 people, and the number of people in and out is 5,000." Ah Zheng replied decisively.

After listening to Ah Zheng's answer, Ah Yu closed his eyes, and slowly opened them after a long time: "Just do as you say, the horse that delivered the letter last night was tired, so change it." ”

"Okay, I'll go myself." After getting Ah Yu's consent, Ah Zheng showed a faint relief on his face. Unlike Ah Yu, who does things according to the rules, he has a more enthusiastic pursuit of the goals set by the military master, and as an intelligence officer, he has to pass on all valuable information back.
