Liu Fan said in his heart, alas, now you can't talk nonsense.

After thinking about it, he slowly said: "Actually, when the command gave me the task of defending the southern end of the western city wall, I thought of two questions, 'One is the question of how to hold on, this is easier; The other is the issue of a safe exit from Ganzhou City in a timely manner. ’”

"From the very beginning, I have been thinking about not letting the enemy stick to us when retreating, if we can keep a safe distance from the enemy, then we can basically withdraw from Ganzhou City without loss."

"Yesterday, when I was defending the city, I saw that the use of fire oil not only repelled the enemy's attack, but also separated a wall of fire on the side of the city wall, effectively delaying the enemy's attack."

"It immediately occurred to me that this method would work, so I had been using rolling logs and stones to defend the city in the morning, saving the little oil I had. After the command sent someone to convey to me the order to retreat at the beginning of Shen, I immediately replaced the rolling wood and stones with the prepared fire oil, and splashed all the fire oil to ignite it, so that a good barrier was immediately formed on the side of the city wall, temporarily blocking the attack of the Khitan soldiers. This short period of time was enough for all the troops of the First Brigade on the western city wall to retreat under the inner city wall. ”

"But this is not enough for us to completely get rid of the enemy, because the time of the fire oil barrier is very short, maybe we have just withdrawn the city wall, and the enemy army has already gone to Ganzhou City, so we are still being hung and beaten by the enemy."

"What other way can effectively hold back the enemy forces without us suffering heavy losses?"

"I thought of the repeater again, the shooting of the repeater is very accurate, but the problem is that it is more precise, I heard that there are not many of them in the right army, and it is impossible to give them all to us. I had to retreat to the second, as long as we can delay the pursuit of the enemy in the rapid retreat, we don't need to have much accuracy, at this time I thought of throwing guns, it just meets the requirements, the lethality is very strong, and because of the barrier of fire oil, there will not be many Khitan soldiers who are pursuing us for a while, how can five hundred people throw at one time can wipe out a small number of pursuers or most of them, sure enough, we used a total of four throwing guns, and basically withdrew from Ganzhou City without losses. ”

After Liu Fan finished speaking, everyone looked pensive, and Qi Boyuan and the first thin old man on the right nodded slightly.

I only heard Guo Huaide say softly and slowly: "Well-thought-out and interlocking, Brigade Commander Xiao Liu is really good, not only can he deduce a large-scale battlefield situation, but also grasp important details." ”

After that, he said to the dry old man on the right, "Alas, you old man Chen knows, if my youngest son is still there, he is almost the age of Xiao Liu now." ”

As soon as this sentence came out, the generals and colonels sat down in their hearts, and secretly pondered in their hearts that the general of the army on one side actually told everyone about his deceased son during the military discussion, which was a bit strange.

In the silence, the dry old man on the right said slowly in a hoarse voice: "To put it bluntly, your old man Guo is still a showman who has fallen off the list, and he has been a counselor of military affairs by the side of General Manager Li for more than 30 years, from a small clerk to an important forbidden army Sima, and a general who commands the front army all the way, but he can't change the sour smell, and he talks around the bush, what's the matter, this young man is hot?" ”

Guo Huaide couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "It's really you old man Chen who understands me, but occasionally feel nostalgic, how can there be so many twists and turns." ”

After that, he turned his head and whispered to the general named Shijun.

Liu Fan glanced at Li Min on the side, and then glanced at the other side with his eyes, Li Min glanced at Liu Fan strangely, and then said quietly, "You don't even know my deputy brigade commander, right?" He is the old man of the Shenhu Army, my father's scholarly servant since childhood, and he was only transferred from the Shenhu Army to the Shenwu Army this year. ”

"Oh." Liu Fan responded casually and thought: "The Northwest Camp is also a family business!" ”

He asked again: "Commander-in-Chief Guo has only one son?" ”

Li Min shook his head and said: "Uncle Guo has a total of two sons, Guo Lingchen's brother is a Jinshi and the first, and he is currently working in the Ministry of Officials, and the other son died when he was very young, and the most rare thing is that Uncle Guo has a world-famous baby daughter. ”

Liu Fan said: "More powerful than you?" ”

"This and that, Ling Han studied under the contemporary Confucian Su Hongyu, not only is he familiar with piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but he is also good at astronomy and arithmetic, and Song Changshi, who is in charge of heavy matters in the army, also sighs to himself. And I only like swords, guns and halberds, and I can't compare to that. ”

After speaking, he winked at Liu Fan again, and said with a teasing smile: "Uncle Guo has a heart of love for talent, you kid may not have a good thing." ”

Seeing that Liu Fan was still stunned, he thought to himself: "Is this kid really confused or fake, don't be deceived by his honest appearance." ”

"Okay, I have asked Shi Jun to write down some of the practices and strategies of Brigade Commander Xiao Liu in the defensive battle in Ganzhou, and when the war is over, report it to General Manager Li for approval, and send it to the military department to see if it can be incorporated into my Great Qi Armament Compendium."

At this time, Qi Boyuan whispered a few words to Guo Huaide, and then spoke: "Just now, Commander-in-Chief Guo spoke highly of the overall performance of the Jincheng Army A Brigade in this Ganzhou defensive battle, but I have a little different opinion here, I just want to remind Xiao Liu, not that you have any mistakes in the city defense battle, some good ideas and strategies still have to be shared with the brother troops, if your retreat strategy can be shared with the Shenwu Army in time, I think at least the Shenwu Army's broken troops will have fewer losses, Of course, yesterday, when there was a crisis at the northern end of the western city wall defended by the Shenwu Army, the command headquarters was very sure that you stepped forward. ”

As soon as Qi Boyuan finished speaking, Wang Kai stood up in a panic and said in a low voice: "Deputy commander-in-chief, this is not to blame Brigade Commander Liu, it is... Be... It's that I'm not doing a good job. ”

Guo Huaide also said in a deep voice: "I also agree with Lao Qi's opinion, for the sake of the generals, they must have the friendship of compatriots, and they can't hide their secrets, Brigade Commander Liu, you must remember, don't take it as an example!" ”

Liu Fan immediately stood up and said, "Yes, commander-in-chief, remember your subordinates." ”

As soon as Wang Kai saw that Guo Huaide also spoke out in support of Qi Boyuan's statement, he didn't care about interrupting others at this time, and immediately said loudly: "Commander-in-chief, deputy commander-in-chief, it's me who is wrong, wronged Brigade Commander Xiao Liu, this morning Brigade Commander Xiao Liu asked Liu Dong to inform me of his retreat strategy, but I thought that it was not good to throw a gun, so I didn't adopt the retreat strategy of Brigade Commander Xiao Liu, which... This... It's my fault, please punish me! After speaking, he bowed his head to Guo Huaide.

After listening to Wang Kai's words, all the generals showed a surprised expression on their faces, and Li Min next to him almost immediately whispered to Liu Fan: "Is there such a thing?" Why didn't you just say that? I thought to myself, "I really can't look at the surface, this person is not only calm-hearted, but also thinks about others everywhere, and he does not defend when he is misunderstood." Suddenly, I felt a strange feeling in my heart.

Almost at the same time, Guo Dehuai also asked slowly: "Little Brigade Commander Liu, why didn't you say it just now. ”

Liu Fan had no choice but to stand up and say: "It is possible that Liu Dong's words are not clear, and Wang Lvshuai does not hear them very clearly. ”

slandered in his heart: "I'm embarrassed to defend this to my face." ”

Wang Kai hurriedly said again: "No, the retreat strategy that Liu Dong said is exactly the same as what you just said, but I didn't adopt it, Brother Liu Fan, the old brother can't help it, and I have let down your kindness." To put it bluntly, I still despise you a little, thinking that the combat strategy you proposed last time in the military conference was just accidentally blinded. Alas, I obey you, that is, Shengyu He Shengliang, I think I Wang Kai has set lofty ambitions since he was a child, and compared himself to the champion Hou Huo to get sick, the Huns have not been destroyed, and there is no home. So far, there are fifty-five in thirty, and even the lady has not passed the door, and in the end, even Liu Fan and you can't compare, so why should I face the sky! ”

At first, everyone felt that Wang Kai spoke sincerely today, but the more they listened, the more they didn't taste it, and a few people even puffed out their cheeks and tried desperately to hold back their laughter, Li Min couldn't help but laugh out loud.

I saw Guo Huaide say to Wang Kai with a dark face: "Don't say it, sit down."

was interrupted by Guo Huaide all of a sudden, and Wang Kai felt that he might not have said the right thing again, so he had to sit down awkwardly.

After listening to Wang Kai's explanation, the big tent was quiet for a while, Guo Huaide turned his head to look at Qi Boyuan, and both of them saw relief in each other's eyes.

At this time, it was Qi Boyuan who spoke: "Although it is very good that young people can be calm, pampered and not surprised, and think about what the other party thinks, sometimes it is easy for others to misunderstand." ”

Liu Fan had no choice but to stand up again and said: "The deputy commander-in-chief looks up to me again, I just feel a little embarrassed to say it, and I really didn't expect anything else." He smiled and scratched his head.

When Liu Fan sat down, Guo Qi and the others did not dwell too much on this matter.

At this time, I only heard Guo Dehuai's tone change, and said in a low voice: "Because the command command order has been issued to all departments during the last military meeting, now I will explain the task of attacking the East City Gate tonight." ”

As soon as the generals heard that Guo Huaide had turned to the main topic of today's meeting, they immediately sat up straight.

I only heard Guo Huaide continue: "Just now I have discussed it privately with Lao Qi, Wan Nian, and Old Man Chen, because the Jincheng Army Brigade A and the Shenwu Army Brigade B have been fighting in the city for two consecutive days, especially the casualties of the Shenwu Army Brigade B have been nearly half, these two brigades are still reserves, but there is a small adjustment in the middle, the East City Gate is mainly undertaken by the Shenwu Army A Brigade and the C Brigade to undertake the main attack task, but considering that the Jincheng Army A Brigade Xiao Liu has been more familiar with the Ganzhou city defense situation in the past two days, and the battle is also brave, I order you to lead the ugly battalion of the Jincheng Army A Brigade to assist Brigadier Li Min of the Shenwu Army A Brigade to undertake the task of attacking the East City Gate. ”

Speaking of this, he whispered a laugh and scolded the head on the right: "Now you bad old man, you should rest assured." ”

After that, he continued: "The remaining troops of the A Brigade of the Jincheng Army are led by Brigade Commander Sun and the Second Brigade of the Shenwu Army to share the task of the reserve, and Wang Kai will not go tonight." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Wang Kai: "You have an injury and have a good rest, just let the deputy brigade commander lead the team." In addition, Lao Qi, Old Man Chen, the three of us old guys also went to the East City Gate to suppress the formation. ”
