"Shhhh You don't want to die? Didn't you see what happened to Gito before? Arrogantly talking about the commander of the army will be punished by military law! Don't say any more, no matter what, Lord Tuoba has already decided, we just have to do it. The other leader, after looking around, reached out to cover the leader's mouth and whispered to him.

After the leader was covered in the mouth, he heard the words of the other leader, so he pulled the hand covering his mouth with his hand and continued: "Why have you become so timid now? I don't know what you've been through, but I'm really ashamed of your father, who was a recognized warrior on the steppe during his lifetime, how did he become such a coward to his son? ”

"Whether I'm a coward or not, I don't need your evaluation. All I know is that no matter how brave a person is, he is responsible for his own life. A man who dies in battle can be called a warrior, but a man who dies in civil strife can only be called a reckless man. Why am I so afraid of Tuoba Shishu, I will tell you, but you don't tell others. I received information that the Khan's health may not last long, that the Khan's children were too young to inherit the throne, and that his younger brother Philesher had no intention of taking the throne. So judging from the current situation, the next Great Khan is likely to be Tuoba Shishu, what good is it to offend him? Therefore, it is better to honestly show an attitude of loyalty to him, so as to save your own life, why not? After hearing the leader say that he was a coward, the other leader also smiled and shook his head, and said to the leader without anger.

"Oh? Who are you listening to? Is there really such a thing? Don't be a discordant plan by some people with ulterior motives, those Han people are the best at this kind of thing. The leader said with some surprise when he heard the words of the other leader.

"Don't you know me? When have I ever told you something that I may not believe, and if I dare to tell you, it must have been obtained with definite information. Besides, you and my father have known each other for a long time, and we are also brothers who have played since childhood, so why should I lie to you? What good can I get from lying to you? So, I'd advise you to take a little overthink of something. When you really don't know what to do, you just think of it as a dumb person, which is only good for you, and there is no harm in it. I take the risk this time to remind you that it is also for the sake of you and my father that there will be no such thing in the future, and you must do it yourself. After the other leader finished speaking, he ignored the leader who stood there in a daze at the news, and turned and walked away.

Looking at the distant back of the leader, the leader suddenly felt some itching on his forehead, so he stretched out his hand and wiped it on his forehead. Only then did he realize that his forehead had been soaked with cold sweat, and then he turned his head to look at the tent of Tuoba Shishu behind him, and found that no one had come out of it. This can be regarded as a sigh of relief, and after looking around again and seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he also quickly left Tuoba Shishu's camp and hurried back to his military camp.

"How's the front line? Is the line of defense still in our hands? Seeing that the military owl in front of him almost broke in from outside the house, Zhuang Fudi directly put the work at hand on the table at this time, got up and asked the military owl anxiously.

"Don't worry, Chief of Staff. At this time, the defense line is still in the hands of our army, and those Eastern Turks can no longer bear the painful casualties and withdraw their troops, and tonight this defensive battle should be won by us. The soldier steadied his breath and said to Zhuang Fudi.

"Ah, good. Well. Just keep it. What about our casualties? ”

"Back to the chief of staff, this time because the Turks raided at night, and there were more recruits on the defensive line, the time to enter hand-to-hand combat was much earlier than the budget time given by the staff. Therefore, before the support of the Black Armor Mo Sword Army arrived, the casualties of the troops on the defense line were still relatively large. However, after the Black Armor Mo Sword Army stabilized the battle on the front line, it hurriedly transported all the wounded for medical treatment, and we estimate that at least half of the people can return to the army to continue fighting, and the rest of the people in addition to the war dead are still some disabled people who can only retire. The military owl said to Zhuang Fudi with some solemnity.

"Alas, these brothers are all good. I will explain this to the Governor, and give these warriors the treatment they deserve, and I will definitely not treat them badly. Zhuang Fudi sighed, but said helplessly. After all, once the battle starts, it is impossible to be free of casualties, and all you can do as a staff officer is to keep the number of casualties as small as possible.

When the soldiers on the front line saw that the Turks had finally retreated, they also regained their formation and re-established their defensive lines. But before they could rest for long, they suddenly saw what seemed to be a number of horses running out of the Turkic camp in the distance, heading straight to the south. When they felt the slight shaking of the earth, the soldiers of the Western Regions Army who were defending on the front line were also stunned for some reason, not knowing what kind of trick the Turks on the opposite side were playing.

It didn't take long for someone to finally react to what they were supposed to do. So he hurriedly reported the news to the staff officers on the front line, and the staff officers on the front line did not analyze what these Turks wanted to do after learning the news, so they could only report the matter to Zhuang Fudi as it was.

Zhuang Fudi had just arranged for the previous military lord to rest, and he got such a piece of news again. So he returned to the sand table in front of him, carefully studying the things marked on the sand table, and at the same time constantly comparing and analyzing what the Turkic cavalry was trying to do as they marched south. At this time, the territory of Wuwei County had already completed the work of clearing the wilderness, and if it was said that the cavalry of these Turks set out to raid the villages to collect military rations, Zhuang Fudi would not believe it anyway. But if they weren't, they came out to collect rations, then what were they doing? Zhuang Fudi's gaze swept around the sand table, and finally landed on a point. A blue flag was then planted on it, indicating that it was the target of the Turks' next attack, and a line of Chinese characters was placed below the flag as a location mark, and the name of the flag was the county seat of Wuwei County.

Thinking of this, even Zhuang Fudi couldn't suppress the horror in his heart, after all, in addition to the new soldiers, there were some old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers around him, and for a while, the county town of Wuwei County had become the most vulnerable place on the entire Eastern Front.
