"Look at your nonsense one by one, what are you talking about regrouping and fighting again, I'm afraid you are all crazy. Can you win if you fight again? Who can guarantee it? Who of you can guarantee that your opponent will have no firearms in his hands? Did you see? Or did they tell you about it themselves? If we fight again tomorrow, and the other side will come up with more powerful firearms, which of you will stand up and be responsible? Ali Bai glared at the group of generals and asked sharply.

A group of generals looked at each other speechlessly. Yes, who can guarantee that the enemy will run out of firearms? Will we be able to win tomorrow? These people just don't want to be called pus, so they just shout and give themselves courage. In fact, it did not help the war in the slightest.

"Brother Alibai, what should we do now, according to your meaning?" Yaru frowned.

Ali Bai looked at Yalu Buhua and sneered: "Yalu Buhua General, you don't have to ask knowingly." You know in your heart that this battle is no longer fought, and you just won't say it. If you want it to come out of my mouth, then it's okay for me to say it. ”

"Brother Alibai, why can't I understand what you are saying?" Yalu didn't spend a little embarrassment. He was a little embarrassed because Ali Bai had insight into his inner thoughts. He really hoped that the suggestion of retiring from the army would come out of Ali Bai's mouth, so that there would be a reason to prevaricate from Wanyan Aguda, and it could be said that he was forced by Ali Bai to withdraw from the army. But Ali Bai obviously saw through his thoughts, and he could only pretend not to know and vaguely understand the past.

Ali Bai didn't dwell on this matter, but continued in a deep voice: "Of course you understand. You and I both know very well in our hearts that this time the operation of attacking Niu Mountain has really fallen into a trap. It is already a fact that the Luoyan Army is obviously ready to intercept us here. Of our 70,000 soldiers and horses, four or five thousand were killed or wounded yesterday, and tens of thousands of casualties are lost today. Fight again tomorrow, I don't know how much it will be lost. Do you really want to fight with this gang of fallen geese to break the net? Even if you win, what's the difference between losing and losing? ”

Yaru didn't say anything, pinching the beard on his chin and twisting his beard unconsciously. After a while, he said softly: "Brother Alibai, when it comes to this, I naturally don't have to hide it. This time we seem to have really fallen into the trap. I did have the idea of quitting the army. But you know, I'm riding a tiger now. I made a military order in front of the great chief, and I want to set foot on Funiu Mountain. Now that there are so many casualties, but I ordered the withdrawal of troops, how can I explain the past from the big chief? ”

Ali Bai rolled his eyes and looked at Yalu Buhua for a long time, and said in a deep voice: "Yalu Buhua, let's take a step to talk." ”

Yalu Buhua nodded and got up, and walked into the inner tent, and Alibai followed him in. The two stood still in the inner tent, and Ali Bai said in a deep voice: "Yalu doesn't spend, whether you pretend to be or not, I'm not in the mood to play dumb riddles with you." Let's withdraw our troops now is called withdrawing at the opportune moment, and most of the soldiers and horses are preserved. You also know the mind of the Great Chief, if it is to pay a large number of casualties in exchange for victory in this battle, the Great Leader will definitely not be willing. The premise of our army attacking the mountain is that the big leader thinks that we can destroy the Funiu Mountain and there will not be too many casualties. But in this situation, do you think even if we win, how many of our 70,000 people will be left in the end? arrive

Then you will not be able to explain. I know the big leader, although he has a tough temperament, he may not admit that he fell for Lin Jue's scheme. But if you can take the initiative to withdraw your troops and save the troops, the big leader will thank you from the bottom of his heart. Maybe he will reprimand you a few words, but he is happy in his heart, let alone any military orders of yours. It will not be pursued at all. ”

Yalu frowned and pondered: "What you said also makes sense, but, but...... Who can guarantee that? ”

Ali Bai said angrily: "No one dares to guarantee you, if you are really afraid of death, you really have to fight for the lives of those brothers, and you can do it." I'm afraid that in the end, you won't be able to retreat if you want to. I'll tell you the truth, I'm really scared of that Lin Jue now, and we're not his opponents at all. Didn't you notice? Before he appeared, everything went smoothly and we won every battle. Since that guy appeared, none of us have gone well, how many soldiers and horses have my army been eaten by him? If you don't have 100,000, you have 80,000, right? This time, he deliberately exposed his flaws and made the big leader fall for him. I don't believe that Lin Jue has no other arrangements. You know what? I'm panicking now, I'm afraid we're not going to face the same number of soldiers and horses in front of us. If there are other soldiers and horses coming here for reinforcements, we will really lose our lives here. ”

Yalu was stunned for a moment, took a breath and said, "Other soldiers and horses? What other soldiers? ”

Ali Bai said: "Don't forget, in the battle outside Bianliang City, although the Northwest Army of the Great Zhou was defeated, there were still tens of thousands of horses. So far, they have not returned to Lu Zhongtian. Even if it's not them, what about the soldiers in the southern state capital of the Great Zhou? So many days have passed, and those soldiers in the south of the Great Zhou have already gathered to the north for reinforcements. Don't forget, they now have a new emperor, if they are loyal to their new emperor, is it possible for them to send troops to show their loyalty? ”

Yalu didn't say more, Ali Bai's words made him break out in a cold sweat. If what Ali Bai said comes true, his tens of thousands of soldiers and horses are a piece of meat that Lin Jue tricked to come here, and they will be eaten here alive. That Lin Jue was trapped on the top of the ten-mile long post, if he could really plan and arrange this poisonous plan, then this person would be too terrifying.

Whether it's true or not, Yalu Buhua has already decided to withdraw his troops immediately. As long as there is the slightest possibility, I will perish here.

"Brother Alibai, you are right. I'm not as good as you, you think better than I do. I have decided that no matter what the Grand Leader does with me afterwards, I will also order the withdrawal of troops. I can't let my brothers die here, and I can't risk even the slightest chance. I can't risk the big chief's hard-earned possessions, and I can't risk the lives of my brothers. It's so decided, early tomorrow morning. No, we will withdraw our troops tonight, what do you think? Yalu said in a deep voice.

Alibai nodded and said, "I completely agree. Brother Yaru, don't worry, if the great leader blames you, I will speak for you. Although you and I are not on good terms, you and I are brothers who fight together after all. Noisy and noisy, in big things, we still work together. ”

Yalu nodded heavily, reached out to hold Alibai's hand and said, "Good brother, you are better than me." ”

……

In the middle of the night, 10,000

It's silent. At this moment, on a hillside among the dark mountains northeast of the Fangcheng Mountain Pass, Lin Hu and a thousand soldiers of the Luoyan Army were sleeping soundly in a temporary shelter built among the dwarf trees and shrubs.

In the past two days, Lin Hu and his soldiers have lurked on the hill next to this official road. For two days in a row, they watched the Jurchens' attack from afar. The Jurchens' attack was fierce, and although it was far away on the hill, the clairvoyant mirror could see it clearly.

Lin Hu saw all the battles on the first and second days. When the battle was going on the next day, Lin Hu was quite sweaty for Gao Muqing and the others, because he saw that the other party had advanced to the point where he was about to break through the mountain pass and the hillside, and the number of bees and grenades was not enough to stop the other party, and Lin Hu was almost ready to rush back with people to rescue. But in the end, the scene of the landslide made Lin Hu overjoyed. After the other party withdrew, Lin Hu's forehead was also sweating profusely, and he was weak, as if he had personally experienced this thrilling battle.

After dark, Lin Hu and the others ate some dry food and drank some cold water to sleep, these two days hidden on this hillside did not eat and sleep well, but tonight, witnessing their victory, everyone was happy, so they slept extra sweetly.

"General Lin, General Lin, wake up, wake up." A hurried call woke Lin Hu up. Lin Hu hurriedly got up and got out of the bushes, and several soldiers of the Luoyan Army on night duty on the top of the mountain were running quickly to the front.

"What's wrong? What happened? Lin Hu hurriedly asked.

"There is movement in the enemy camp, we see movement in the enemy camp, it seems that there are soldiers and horses moving." Several soldiers hurriedly replied.

Lin Hu was startled, waved his hand, and said, "Let's go, take a look." ”

The soldiers of the Luoyan Army who were sleeping in the surrounding bushes were also woken up, and they rushed out with Suosuo, and everyone followed Lin Hu to climb to the top of the mountain. Soon after, the crowd came to the top of the starry mountain. There is a big rock on the top of the mountain, which is the highest point of this hill, Lin Hu jumped on the rock and looked in the direction of the Jurchen camp in the west col, and sure enough, he saw the torches swaying in the Jurchen camp, and the soldiers and horses came and went, a busy scene.

"What are they doing here? What's going on in the middle of the night? Lin Hu frowned.

"I don't know, do they want to attack the mountain in the middle of the night?" A lieutenant named Wang Huai beside him frowned.

"It's possible, they must have suffered a loss and want to sneak attack in the middle of the night." Consent was expressed.

Lin Hu thought for a moment, slowly shook his head and said, "It's unlikely, if they want to sneak attack, why is there such a big fanfare?" Shouldn't we be acting quietly? Why is it so noisy? Aren't you afraid that our defenders will find out on the hill? I don't think it's trying to sneak attack. ”

Everyone nodded suddenly: "That's true, how can anyone sneak attack with a torch." If you want to sneak attack, you should go up the mountain quietly with a black light. ”

"So what the hell are they doing? The tossing people in the middle of the night neighed and barked, and the wind was convulsed? Another lieutenant, Li Dapeng, said suspiciously.

Lin Hu lowered his head and thought for a moment, and suddenly his expression changed drastically, and he said in a deep voice: "Could it be ...... Are they running away? ”

All the soldiers were shocked and looked solemn.
