After Li Xiaofeng and Li finished briefing, Nie Lang was stunned for a long time before he whispered with some embarrassment: "The number of people who fought this time is 2,164, and the losses are relatively heavy. Two hundred and seventy-nine were killed and sixty-three were seriously injured. ”

Hearing Nie Lang's battle damage, Lin Feng, Li Xiaofeng, and Li Jian were all stunned, but Lin Feng reacted first and comforted Nie Lang: "General Nie, don't blame yourself, after all, it is a head-to-head confrontation with the enemy, and it is inevitable that there will be damage!" And our two cavalry just attacked from the flanks behind, so naturally the losses were relatively small! ”

Nie Lang shook his head and replied, "Master Hou, don't comfort you!" In fact, it's all my fault, because of the momentary underestimation of the enemy, the vanguard was cut off from the army and went deep into the enemy's ambush! Saying that, Nie Lang glanced at the vanguard behind him who had already begun to march on the Caoyang Slope, and continued: "After being ambushed by the enemy, under the impact of the enemy's cavalry, at least three or four thousand soldiers were killed and wounded! These are my inevitable responsibilities! ”

After listening to Nie Lang's self-blame, several people present were silent. In fact, the situation is obvious, if it weren't for Nie Lang's easy advance, it wouldn't have led to such a big loss now!

"It's come to this, General Nie shouldn't blame himself too much!" Li Jian opened his mouth lightly on the side, glanced at the vanguard behind him, and Li Jian continued: "General Nie, the first task now is to station the vanguard troops, build a camp, and wait for the arrival of the army!" ”

"Well, I'll take someone to find a suitable spot right away. As soon as the vanguard arrived, I organized the craftsmen to start building, and by the time the army arrived, it would be almost there! Nie Lang nodded, then said hello to a few people, then turned around and got on the horse and left.

。。。。。。

At noon, Uncle Li led 100,000 troops to the camp that had been roughly built.

Uncle Li Huang had a calm face, didn't say anything all the way, and went straight into the handsome tent that had been built. Lin Feng glanced at Li Jian, Nie Lang and the others, and quickly followed.

Inside the handsome tent, Uncle Li Huang put his hands behind his back, his back to all of them, and it could be seen from his undulating body that he was angry, and he was very angry.

"Where is the pioneer general Nie Lang!" Suddenly, Uncle Li Huang turned around and roared angrily.

Seeing this, Nie Lang hurriedly took two steps forward, knelt down on one knee and shouted, "The last general!" ”

Uncle Li Huang glared, stretched out his hand and pointed at Nie Lang, then angrily threw his hand behind his back and asked loudly: "I ordered the whole army to slow down!" Why don't you decrease but increase? Did I pass the wrong order, or did you deliberately resist the order?! ”

"Back to Li Shuai, it was the last general's carelessness that caused the vanguard to be ambushed! The last will be punished! Nie Lang replied without raising his head.

"Punishment! Penalize! What do I fine! Uncle Li Huang said angrily, and after pacing back and forth in place for two steps, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Nie Lang and said, "As a pioneer general, this time you have protected the craftsmen in the camp to build the camp!" Have you ever thought about it, if you fall into an enemy ambush and the craftsmen are all killed by the enemy, how will my 100,000 army still settle! ”

"The last general is derelict in his duty and is willing to be punished!"

At this time, Li Jian took two steps forward, hugged his fist at Uncle Li Huang and said: "Marshal Li, although General Nie lightly penetrated the enemy, he performed quite well in this battle, and he insisted on rushing to the front line to kill the enemy with an arrow in his right arm, which is really a rare talent among the vanguard of our army!" Moreover, nearly 8,000 enemy troops were annihilated in this battle, and the enemy's main general, Yu Wenshang, was also beheaded by General Nie himself. Therefore, the last general thinks that General Nie is not only without fault, but has merit! ”

What Lin Feng didn't expect was that Li Jian not only came out to intercede for Nie Lang, but also gave Nie Lang the great merit of slashing the enemy's main general.

Sure enough, Nie Lang raised his head and glanced at Li Jian, and then looked at him as if he was going to say something to Uncle Li Huang.

Lin Feng hurriedly took two steps forward, pressed one hand on Nie Lang's shoulder, and then said, "Marshal Li, what General Li Jian said is good, and I also agree with General Li Jian's statement!" Nie Lang is not only without fault, but meritorious! ”

"Oh?" Uncle Li Huang glanced at them, squinted and sneered: "Hehe, then you can tell me, why Nie Lang is not only without fault, but meritorious?" ”

Lin Feng glanced at Nie Lang, who was kneeling beside him and was trying to struggle to get up, and the hand pressing on his shoulder added a little more strength before he said, "Although General Nie Lang advanced lightly, he was almost ambushed by the enemy and annihilated. However, without General Nie as a decoy on Caoyang Slope, it would be impossible for our 700 elite troops to easily defeat the enemy army ambushed in the woods north of Caoyang Slope. And in the subsequent confrontation with the enemy cavalry, if it were not for the shield array set up by General Nie to exhaust the enemy's combat strength, it would be impossible for our department to defeat two enemy thousand-man cavalry regiments in a row! ”

After finishing speaking, Lin Feng turned his head slightly and glanced at Li Jian, and saw that he had no expression before continuing: "Later, when our seven hundred cavalry needed to retreat due to protracted fighting, General Nie even sent a thousand-man bow and crossbow regiment to cover, and then personally wounded and led a cavalry regiment of two thousand people to cover, so as to meet General Li Jian at the exit of Caoyang Slope and encircle and annihilate the enemy cavalry in one fell swoop!" ”

"Humph!" After hearing this, Uncle Li snorted coldly and continued to ask: "Even if what you said is right, how can Nie Lang answer if he rashly advances against the enemy?" ”

"Hehe, this is better explained!" Lin Feng smiled slightly and explained: "Since we want to counter-encircle the enemy army, we naturally need an army to use it as bait to enter the enemy's established ambush circle, only in this way can the enemy's attention be focused on the bait, then the counter-encirclement of General Li Jian and I can be implemented!" ”

Saying that, Lin Feng stretched out his hand and pulled Nie Lang, who was kneeling on the ground, up, pointed at Nie Lang and said, "And in this battle, General Nie unknowingly took on the important task of bait!" Therefore, I think that General Nie is not only without fault, but also meritorious! ”

Then Lin Feng turned his head to look at Li Jian, and asked meaningfully: "General Li Jian, dare to ask me if I am paying attention?" ”

Li Jian turned his head and glanced at Lin Feng deeply, then turned his head to Uncle Li Huang and said, "What Marquis Zhongwu said is indeed true!" Please also Marshal Li Mingjian! ”

After listening to this, Uncle Li Huang nodded thoughtfully. After a while, he looked up at Nie Lang and said in a deep voice, "Nie Lang! Since there are Zhongwu Marquis and General Li Jian who have come forward to testify for you! This matter will no longer be held accountable to you! Saying that, Uncle Li Huang changed his words and continued: "However, your mistake of underestimating the enemy does exist. Ben Shuai thought about the merit of the enemy's commander in your hand, so I won't pursue it! But you have to remember that if you recidivize, you will be punished severely! ”

"Xie Li Shuai!" After Nie Lang replied, his body was obviously slightly relieved.

"This is the only time, not the next one!" After Uncle Li repeated it again, he waved his hand and said to everyone, "All the generals should go back to the camp for the time being!" Hurry up and garrison your respective camps, rest for a day today, and take turns to attack the city early tomorrow morning! Be sure to win two in three days! ”

After listening to this, the generals looked at each other, but the handsome order had been given, and everyone didn't have much to say, so they each said goodbye and left the handsome account, Lin Feng gave Li Xiaofeng a look and followed everyone out.

Standing outside the tent, listening to the departing generals, most of them were discussing why the boss suddenly changed his mind and ordered to storm the next two within three days.
