At night, in the north of Jingle City, Wang Dehua and Wang Kun paced back and forth in the camp tent, restless.

After a long time, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside, and Zeng Caofei and He Sheng came in.

"How? Is it clear? ”

Wang Dehua and Wang Kun greeted them with a look of hope.

Zeng Caofei didn't say anything, just sat on the chair next to him and sighed, He Sheng said with a bitter face: "Two fathers-in-law, make it clear, we still have 7,200 troops, of which 1,200 are wounded, and only 6,000 are capable of fighting, and most of the 4,000 servants have fled in the chaos, and there are less than 2,000 left." ”

Wang Dehua's face changed greatly: "How can it be so little?" ”

"I don't know, we only found six hundred corpses, and it is estimated that there are also six or seven hundred corpses in the area of the Dongnian River in the south of Jingle City, that is, about one thousand and three soldiers who were killed in battle, and about seven hundred people were captured by Qin thieves, and the rest are estimated to have escaped."

"What about the artillery?"

"Sixty cannons, all of them fell into the hands of Qin thieves."

"This ...... How good is that? ”

"Princess, this Jingle City can't be beaten."

Wang Dehua and Wang Kun's faces turned pale, they glanced at each other, and sat on their chairs weakly.

After a long time, Wang Dehua suddenly stood up and asked, "Where is Xue Dongting on West Road?" How's the battle going? ”

Zeng Caofei, who had been silent, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The road between Jingyou and Jingle has been blocked, and I can't even get a letter." ”

"The road is blocked? How was it sealed? ”

"There are several border soldiers under the Qin thieves who do not collect deserters at night, one is called Zhao Wu, the original Zhen'an Fort does not collect the flag at night, and the other is called Liao Sangun, the best marksmanship of the Xuanda border army is this person, and there are a few night guards and a few sword and shield men under Zhao Wu, this group of people killed a general flag officer because of the problem of arrears of wages, and then escaped from Zhen'anbao."

"Originally, there were more than a dozen of these people, and a few died when they were intercepted in the Huailai area, Zhao Wu took Liao Sangun and others all the way out of the encirclement, and since then there has been no news, some people they went to cast Liukou, but I didn't expect to vote for Qin thieves."

"Now, a few of them led fifty horsemen to shuttle back and forth between Jingyou and Jingle, and several waves of sentry horses sent out by the lowly position were intercepted and killed by them, and it is estimated that the sentry sent by Xue Dongting on the West Road was also folded in their hands."

"This ...... Then send more people, they are only fifty horsemen, why don't we send a hundred, two hundred, or even five hundred horsemen? ”

"I've already sent two hundred horsemen out, so there should be no problem, but it's just ...... I'm afraid we can't count on Xue Dongting, since the Qin thief can sit firmly in Jingle City, Jingyou will definitely be solid. ”

"Are you, Xue Dongting can't beat Jingyou?"

"The guards under him are vulnerable, and I'm afraid they can't be defeated."

"This ...... How good is that? ”

Wang Dehua slumped on the chair again.

Zeng Caofei and He Sheng lowered their heads and said nothing.

After a long time, Wang Kun's eyes suddenly lit up and said, "Why do we want to die in Jingle City?" Why don't you go straight south, attack Jingyou with Xue Dongting on both sides, and then attack Lou Fu? The Qin thieves will inevitably send troops to rescue each other, let's set up an ambush halfway, can't we strangle the Qin thieves? ”

"Take a step back, even if the Qin thief doesn't send troops to rescue Jingyou and Lou Fu, we can also make a contribution to recovering the land."

"That's right."

Wang Dehua also stood up suddenly, his face full of excitement: "That's right, let's drive straight down and attack Jingyou, the Qin thief is bound to come to the rescue, he is just more than a thousand soldiers and horses, and when he is in the wild, no matter how strong he is, he will never be the opponent of our 6,000 army." ”

"No."

He Sheng hurriedly got up, hugged his fists and said: "Two fathers-in-law, you can only go south along the Fen River, the two banks of the Fen River are located between Yunzhong Mountain and Luya Mountain, the terrain is narrow, if the six thousand army goes south along the river bank, the team is two or three miles away, and the Qin thieves will inevitably attack the weak points of our army with firearms and javelins from the opposite bank." ”

"Our army has lost artillery, there are only more than 200 bird guns left, and there are less than 100 archers, it is difficult to cover everything, and it is bound to be difficult to take care of the end and the battle is in chaos."

"If our army divides into two routes and marches along the east and west banks of the Fen River, the Qin thieves will inevitably attack the weak side, and in the meantime, the army of 6,000 will probably only ...... It's just going to be a thousand miles away. ”

Wang Kun frowned: "The Qin thief's strength is less than 1,000, and our army still has 6,000 capable soldiers, even if the soldiers are divided into two roads, each road still has 3,000 troops, twice as many as the Qin thief, are you afraid that he will not succeed?" ”

"If it was before today, I would naturally not be afraid, but now that the soldiers have suffered a sudden defeat, their morale is low, and the superiority of troops may not help."

"That'...... What if we only divide one part of our troops and go south, and the other remains in Jingle City to contain the Qin thieves? ”

"By all means, the Qin thieves have dozens of cannons in their hands, and we only have 6,000 soldiers left, even if we leave 4,000 troops, I'm afraid they will be broken by the Qin thieves in one fell swoop."

"So what are we going to do?"

Wang Kun was a little annoyed, so he simply sat back in the chair and drank tea with a straight face.

He Sheng hesitated for a moment, and said: "According to the humble position, we should immediately pull out the camp, withdraw to the Ninghua Institute overnight, and then send people south overnight to find the supervisor Master Zhang, and ask him to transfer Zuo Liangyu from Fangshan Fort in Yongning Prefecture into Luliang Mountain, attack Lou Fu from the west road, and then find the governor of Shanxi, Lord Xu, and ask him to transfer Cao Wenzhao from Taiyuan or Jiaocheng to Luliang Mountain, from which east road to attack Lou Fu." ”

"The four-way army is attacking at the same time, and the Qin thief has three heads and six arms, and I am afraid that it will be impossible to escape."

"Ridiculous!"

Wang Dehua suddenly slapped the coffee table and drank coldly.

He Sheng frowned, and hurriedly lowered his head and didn't dare to squeak.

Wang Dehua said coldly: "Hmph! Now Shanxi and Henan bandits are in a hurry, Cao Wenzhao Zuo Liangyu generals are chasing after the liukou, if these two are sprinkled to Lou Fu, wouldn't they want to let the bandits go? If the rogue is powerful, how can I afford such a heavy responsibility? ”

Wang Kun also took over: "The emperor handed over the heavy task of suppressing bandits to us, the two armies have a total of 13,000 soldiers and horses, and the Qin thieves have less than 3,000 troops, so the disparity in strength is so great, if we can't take the Qin thieves, what kind of face do we have to go back to see the emperor?" ”

He Sheng lowered his head and didn't dare to say a word.

Zeng Caofei couldn't make a sound, only looking at his nose and his nose at his heart.

Wang Dehua picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, then asked in a soothing tone: "General He, how many horsemen do I have now?" ”

"Only a thousand left."

"Okay, pass the order, the army will make food in the fifth watch, and at the dawn of the camp will be drawn south, divided into two divisions along the banks of the Fen River, each division is divided into two, and advance alternately in two sections, one is in response to the enemy's posture to cover, and the other is to march quickly, so alternately, horsemen, bird gunners and archers are in the rear cover, ready to bear"

Hearing his words, Zeng Caofei took the lead in getting up and holding his fists to receive his life, and He Sheng had no choice but to stand up and respond.

"The prince uses soldiers like a god, and the formation is appropriate, and the lower officials admire and admire."

Wang Kun stretched out his thumb and sighed in reverence.

"Hahahaha, it's just a carving insect technique."

Wang Dehua waved his hand, then picked up the teacup and took a sip.

……

At night, after he was full of wine and food, Qin Chuan stood under the lamp and unfolded a letter and read it carefully.

It didn't take long for him to smile with relief, handed the letter to Luo Daniu on the side, and said with a smile: "Liu Youzhu is good, he has grown." ”

Luo Daniu took the letter, stared at it with wide eyes for a while, then blinked and handed the letter to Li Dingliang next to him.

There were several lines on it, and he only recognized two of them.

Li Dingliang looked at it for a while, then sighed helplessly and handed the letter to Ren Liang next to him.

Ren Liang's eyes widened and he looked at the old half.

"Look at your naïve, do you understand?"

Luo Da Niu picked up a piece of horse meat, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it loudly, and asked vaguely.

Ren Liang had already been convinced by Luo Da Niu in Tieshigou Mountain, and he was not angry, he only shook the letter in his hand, and said with a smile: "The letter was written by Xue Dongting, the commander of Zhenxi Wei, to the gelding dog Wang Dehua, and their West Road army of 5,600 people was stopped by Liu Youzhu in the Longquan River, the Longquan River is deep and wide, Liu Youzhu led a thousand Guan Emperor troops to guard the opposite bank, he couldn't cross the river, so he had to confront each other across the river, and asked Wang Dehua to go south and fight him on both sides." ”

"You just brag, there are so many words on it, you can recognize Qi Caicai."

"If you don't recognize it, you can recognize most of the words, and you can understand the meaning."

Luo Da Niu's face was a little unnatural, he muttered a few words, and then continued to gnaw on his horse meat.

Qin Chuan smashed him on the head with a bone, and scolded angrily: "Tell you to read and write with Mr. Wang, it's good for you, as soon as you run into the inner courtyard a few times, your soul will be taken away by Li Anru's mother's skin." ”

"Hey, hey."

Luo Da Niu touched his huge head and smirked a few times, and continued to eat meat with his head down.

The lynx on the side took over: "The big boss, he has a sachet in his pocket, he often takes it out and smells it in the school, and he smirks dumbly, and the smell on the sachet can be smelled in the whole school." ”

"My day, your mother's goodness, you don't learn, just learn those girls to chew the root of their tongues."

Luo Da Niu kicked on the bobcat's ass and flew him out.

The latter got up from the ground and inhaled the cool air and rubbed his buttocks.

Qin Chuan looked amused, and stretched out his hand towards Luo Da Niu: "Take it out and take a look." ”

"The big boss, this ...... It's my stuff. ”

"Don't force the brothers to do it."

Luo Da Niu opened his mouth, and finally muttered, and reluctantly took out a sachet from his pocket.

Qin Chuan took it and saw that the word "An" was embroidered on it.

Obviously, this is Li Anjou's thing.

"Where did you get it? You did her? ”

"Nope." Luo Da Niu touched his head, "Then after seeing the reservoir, I took her to a place where I didn't spare her on the mountain and snatched it from her." ”

"It's all taken captive to no spare place, and you still don't want to deal with her?"

"She won't let it."

Qin Chuan looked at Luo Da Niu fixedly, and suddenly sneered.

Li Dingliang, Lao Huang, Lynx and others let go of their throats and laughed, and even Ren Liang lowered his head and sneered.

Luo Daniu was a little annoyed, and suddenly asked, "Big boss, didn't you also take Sister Wen up the mountain that day?" Did you get her? ”

The smile on Qin Chuan's face froze.

Li Dingliang and the others laughed loudly, and it instantly turned into a sneering smile that was extremely suppressed.

Qin Chuan was a little annoyed, and kicked on Luo Da Niu's sturdy ass.

"Hurry up and eat, go to sleep when you are full, and go out of the city at night to attack the Ming army at night."
