Chapter Seventy-Two: Victory and Defeat

This trip can be said to be very fruitful, but Luo Bai is not happy.

He didn't return to the head army, and the second was to take advantage of the night to come to the medical workshop.

The Blackguard had been hiding from the Black Guard before, and there was no restriction on his movements.

Huo Zong was already asleep, but Lu Ling was reading.

Hearing the sound, Lu Ling calmly closed the book and looked at the door.

A bean candle flame reflected Lu Ling's cold face, which was even more cold and detached.

It's a pity that Luo Bai didn't pay attention to this, he casually said, "Don't sleep yet", and walked to Huo Zong's side and woke him up.

Huo Zong was also an alert person, and immediately opened his eyes.

"Don't speak, I'll leave at once."

Huo Zong nodded.

"I found out the leader of the Benlei Battalion, it's Mu Qinghua!"

Huo Zong immediately frowned, wanting to say something, but was interrupted by Luo Bai.

"I just came back from the Benlei camp, and although it was dark, I could still see the distribution of their camps."

That's the main reason he's here tonight.

When Huo Zong heard this, he immediately quieted down.

"The Benlei camp is wide from east to west and narrow from north to south. I entered it last night from the southeast corner, and saw one tent to the north and one to the west, and then another ten feet apart. In the middle of the two tents, facing inward, is a fire. and there were forty of them round the fire. And that's true of all fires. ”

Huo Zong listened quietly, silently counting the number of people in the Benlei Battalion.

"The camp of Benlei Camp is divided into four parts, southeast and northeast, southwest and northwest. Among them, there are 30 fires in the southeast and 70 in the northeast. Seventy in the southwest and thirty in the northwest. ”

If this is the case, it means that there are 2,08 troops in the northeast, southwest, and southwest, and 12,000 troops in the southeast, southeast, and northwest.

It is understandable that heavy troops are deployed in the southwest, after all, it is close to the nameless mound, but what is the situation in the northeast?

"Finally, I would like to mention one more point. The reason why I can see all the fires at night is not by counting, but by counting. ”

"Figured out? What do you mean? ”

"Because all the tents, fires, and soldiers of the Benlei battalion are very orderly, horizontal and vertical lines, showing a high level of execution. Moreover, the soldiers obeyed Mu Qinghua's words and forbade them. ”

Huo Zong immediately frowned, this is difficult.

"You go back tomorrow and tell Sheng Shige what I said, he may know something about Mu Qinghua. Remember, don't be ostentatious. ”

Huo Zong nodded.

Luo Bai left immediately, and Lu Ling caught up with him outside the house.

"Brother Lu is still in trouble?"

Lu Ling wanted to speak and stopped, unable to make up his mind.

Luo Bai waited quietly, he knew that a person with Lu Ling's character, if he didn't want to say that it was useless for you to force it.

After a few breaths, Lu Ling seemed to have made up his mind, and he still had to say.

"I heard that you were assassinated while participating in the auditions?"

Lu Ling was talking about a lynx, but how did he talk about it at this time?

"Yes."

Seeing that he didn't seem to understand, Lu Ling smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Luo, you owe me a favor." ”

Luo Bai immediately became serious, knowing that what Lu Ling said must be something important, otherwise he would not go against his principle of not mixing to tell him something.

"Then when you were injured at that time, was that person going to kill you or kill Lu Ling?"

Luo Bai was on top at that time, but it was Lu Ling's identity.

At that time, he just thought that the lynx had been around him all along, otherwise he would not have been able to lock onto him. Other than that, he didn't associate anything more.

But listening to Lu Ling's words at this moment, could it be that there are other things here?

He thought about Lu Ling's words again, and he had a flash of inspiration and immediately understood.

When he wanted to ask again, Lu Ling had already turned around: "Brother Luo, find time to invite me to drink!" ”

Luo Bai saw that he didn't go back to the room, but didn't go into the darkness, so he knew what it meant.

He immediately re-entered the house, but where was Huo Zong's shadow?

Damn, why is this kid running so fast?

He ran out again, but outside the house it was dark and there was nothing to see.

Something bad.

In the early morning of the next day, Luo Bai didn't even cook, and went to the agreed place early, but only saw Sun De and the others.

After asking, I learned that Huo Zong and Sheng Shige had rushed back overnight.

"Brother Lu, you are still efficient. The two of us only knew that they trained bows and arrows and melee combat every day in the past two days, but we didn't expect that Brother Luo had already spied on so much information. ”

Luo Bai doesn't know what to say anymore, he can't say it, what he knows is what people want him to know, right?

Intelligence is really a double-edged sword, and if it is used well, it will be a catastrophe for the enemy. If it is not available, it will be a disaster for yourself.

But he didn't understand that only Zhang Shiqi's team and Song Shixing knew about the sneak attack. Does Mu Qinghua know? And can you rely on this to guess his identity?

Unless it's a firehead!

Luo Bai's face was ugly.

But he quickly calmed down, after all, Lu Ling was just guessing, although the guess was very reasonable.

After all, if Mu Qinghua wasn't sure of his identity, how could he possibly agree to let him go to the Benlei Camp?

Thinking that Guo Shouzhi was not happy when he heard that he wanted to go to the camp to participate in the bonfire party, now that he thinks about it, he definitely wants to get away with it.

Damn, careless.

While complaining about his carelessness, Luo Bai began to think of a remedial strategy.

Not to mention the information he got last night, when he came back this time, all the information he obtained related to the Benlei Battalion came from three sources: Mu Yichu, the conversation between the third prince and Yan Wenyuan during the cooking, and the in-depth attack on the enemy camp last night.

Mu Yichu would not lie to him, after all, there was no need to lie to him.

The Third Prince and Yan Wenyuan were also not necessary.

In other words, even if the information obtained last night is not credible, the information obtained from Mu Yichu and the third prince is still credible.

Compared with the three different information obtained, there were only two new pieces of information obtained last night: one was the commander of the Benlei battalion, and the other was the camp layout of their troops.

As for the rest, there is not much difference from the previous information. is credible.

Thinking of this, Luo Bai breathed a sigh of relief.

"Even if Mu Qinghua is not the main general, even if last night's troop deployment is fake, it doesn't seem to have any effect."

At that moment, the sound of drums suddenly sounded in the camp: it was the sound of assembly.

The faces of the three of them changed, there are still two days to fight, what does it mean to assemble now?

In the military camp, the armies of the Benlei Battalion and the Champion Battalion did not return, only Yan Zhen and Mu Qinghua came to the residence of Emperor Wutong and accepted the battle situation.

The confrontation, which was supposed to start two days later, was brought forward directly to today!

Thinking that he had gone to Mu Qinghua's camp to attend the party last night, he suddenly felt that all this was a trap.

"The Benlei Battalion has long known that the confrontation will start today, so a dinner party will be held the day before!"

Standing at the station of the Huotou Army, Luo Bai's heart fluctuated.

These people say that they are fair and do not let anyone interfere, but they are the first to intervene!

"Bastard!"

He cursed, lifted the tent, and walked out.

"Where are you going?"

Mu Yichu stopped him from behind.

"Shall I go to the infirmary to see the injury on my back?"

Mu Yichu seemed to know why Luo Bai was angry, and said with a smile: "Coincidentally, I just wanted to ask Lord Lian for a little dandelion and go together." ”

As he spoke, he ignored Luo Bai's eyes that wanted to kill, and took the lead in leaving.

On the road, Luo Bai kept a gloomy face and didn't say a word.

But Mu Yichu was obviously in a good mood: "Do you know why the confrontation is in advance?" Because our team is about to be sent to Abundance City. ”

If it was before, Luo Bai must be very happy. But now, he just let out an uninteresting "oh" and was gone.

"Damn, I haven't fought in many years, this time I went, I must shoot a few more thieves!"

Luo Bai sneered: "Didn't those people in the imperial court say that they won't attack this winter? Why are you in a hurry to send us there now? Also start the autumn season in advance? ”

Mu Yichu realized that something was wrong, he didn't understand what Luo Bai meant.

Are you dissatisfied with the imperial court's miscalculation of the situation? Or are you dissatisfied with the early start of the autumn festival?

But no matter which one it is, it doesn't seem to be his turn to talk nonsense here, right?

"Boy, this is a military camp, you have to speak in a measured manner, don't you know that trouble comes from your mouth?"

Luo Bai said disdainfully: "Don't let me say it, unless I'm dumb!" ”

Along the way, Luo Bai rarely chattered like a shrew, and Mu Yichu could only smile bitterly.

In the medical hall, Lu Ling and Huo Zong were eating.

Seeing Luo Bai's arrival, Huo Zong was first surprised, and just as he was about to speak, he saw Mu Yichu on the side, so he stopped and said with a smile: "Brother Luo, why are you here?" ”

They already knew each other, so it wouldn't be suspicious.

Luo Bai nodded and said, "I heard that you were injured, so I came to see you, and by the way, I took a look at the injury on my back." ”

Mu Yichu heard them chatting and seemed to feel bored, so he turned around and went out: "I'll go get the medicine, you wait for me here." If I come back and you're gone, then you'll be miserable. ”

Luo Bai watched Mu Yichu leave, grabbed Huo Zong's hand and said, "You sent the information out?" ”

Huo Zong's face turned red with excitement: "You don't know, this time the two of us showed our faces." Now they're following our intelligence and starting to talk about it and see what can be done. ”

Luo Bai suddenly gave up.

Huo Zong didn't notice it at all, and continued: "Sheng Shige's kid is also lucky, he actually found Mu Qinghua's command camp. It's right in the Northeast! ”

No wonder there are heavy troops, it turns out that way.

But if that's the case, it seems that the information he found last night wasn't useless, right?

What the hell is going on?

He looked at Lu Ling, but Lu Ling was about to leave.

Luo Bai grabbed him and said, "Brother Lu, even if you lose, you have to let me lose convincingly, right?" ”

Lu Ling knew what he meant, but he really couldn't say it anymore.

"Brother Luo, don't force me anymore. In fact, losing this time is not necessarily a bad thing. After all, if you lose here, you will lose some face at most, and you may have learned too much. And you are a disadvantage in your own right, and there is no shame in losing. If you lose in the Battle of Abundance City, you won't even have a chance to get angry at me, don't you say? ”

Luo Bai didn't give up and said: "Is there no chance at all?" ”

Lu Ling shook his head.

Luo Bai suddenly fell to ashes.

Huo Zong stood aside and didn't understand what he meant at all: "What are you talking about?" ”

Luo Baidao said dejectedly: "I may have been exposed, and those pieces of information may have been trapped." ”

Huo Zong suddenly showed an expression of "you scolded him for teasing me", grabbed Luo Bai's collar and said, "Are you fooling me?" I ventured back last night to deliver the news, and now you're telling me that it's fake? ”

Luo Bai was speechless.

"It's over, it's over, it's completely over!"

Huo Zong sat down with a look of remorse. Full of anger and not knowing how to vent, he slammed over the table, and the dishes and soups spilled all over the floor.

Lu Ling was prescient and avoided it early.

Just looking at Luo Bai's dejected appearance, he couldn't bear it.

"Brother Luo, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers. Besides, this time itself is not your problem, the disparity between the strength of the enemy and us is too great, otherwise you would not have to choose this way to fight this battle. ”

Luo Bai just smiled bitterly.

He was not angry at his own failures, but at his own incompetence.

was taken advantage of, and he was complacent and thought he had obtained information. It's a shame to think about.

Huo Zong finally couldn't help it at this time, he rushed out, ready to pass on the news first, and the province was really ambushed.

Luo Bai raised his head, looked at Lu Ling who was standing at the door, and said in a low voice: "Brother Lu, am I particularly stupid?" ”

Lu Ling shook his head and said, "You're not stupid, you're a little taken for granted." ”

Luo Bai smiled bitterly again and got up to leave.

At the moment when he missed Lu Ling, Lu Ling said something in his ear, and Luo Bai was shocked!
