There is no doubt that the enemy was perfectly defeated, and it does not look like a premeditated, planned retreat by any means.

"Let's keep up too, the benefits can't just let Lao Wang take advantage of them!" Commander Shang said this, and he gathered his troops and horses, and he also had to follow.

"But I always feel ......" Commander Qian is still a little uneasy.

"Okay, when have you ever been relieved?" Commander Shang and Commander Qian are also old comrades-in-arms for many years, and he knows this old friend who is suspicious by nature and can ponder for several days when his wife cooks an extra bowl of rice.

"......" question, Commander Qian really couldn't answer, he also knew that he was always too cautious.

"Okay, it's okay, there are so many of us, even if we are against the main force of the rebels, we can at least retreat." Seeing that Commander Qian was asked by himself and had nothing to say, Commander Shang stepped up his urging, he also wanted to get a credit, and he didn't want Lao Wang to share this huge credit alone.

"It's also ......" was said by Commander Shang, but Commander Qian dispelled some suspicions, and he also gathered his own soldiers and horses.

After all, the advantage in numbers is huge, and the strength of more people is not necessarily greater, but the courage of more people is definitely greater. No matter how cautious and timid Commander Qian was, in the face of rare military exploits, he gradually let down his defense. What's more, Lao Wang had already gone first, and Commander Shang also felt that there was no problem, and the cautious and timid Commander Qian was finally moved.

When the encirclement was first formed, the troops in many places did not have time to be carefully deployed, and they were temporarily concentrated in the wild boar forest. Therefore, the three commanders of Wang, Shang, and Qian had nearly 30,000 troops in their hands, and even against the main force of the rebels, they were indeed worthwhile.

Self-preservation has become the hardest confidence in their hearts.

After leaving a part of the "unlucky" soldiers to guard the base camp, Commander Shang and Commander Qian also led their troops to keep up with the speed of a rapid march.

"Wild Boar Forest...... Wild Boar Forest ......" Not long after the three commanders led the troops to chase and kill, Lin Ji finally arrived at the camp of the wild boar forest - he was not very fast on the mountain road.

"What about people?" Looking at the empty camp, Lin Ji was taken aback, and he hurriedly asked a soldier.

The soldier was regretting that because he was not qualified enough, he was ordered to stay and not be able to get military merit, and he recounted with a sad face the story of the rebels who had inexplicably run over and sent thousands of lives before fleeing.

"Commander Wang, Commander Shang and Commander Qian led the troops to chase and kill, I have been in the army for less than two years, and I was not selected, can you take me with you if you want to go?" The soldier looked at Lin Ji and suddenly had hope again.

"Oh yes, the rebels are still shouting things like 'we've been lied to.'" The soldier became attentive when he learned that Lin Ji was also a commander, and after careful reflection, he added again.

"Scammed?" It's just this sentence, and Lin Ji can't analyze anything.

"Wait!" Lin Ji seemed to have grasped a clue, and he hurriedly asked, "You just said that most of the rebels were killed and wounded, and you also said that only a thousand people died?" ”

"That's right!" The soldier replied, "There are probably more than 4,000 rebels this time, and more than 3,000 are still on the run!" ”

Lin Ji didn't care about the extra words of the soldier who was thinking about making military merits, but why was there only more than 4,000 people in his mind? This is not the large army of the rebels, but what about the remaining more than 10,000 rebels? Where will it be?

Lin Ji had a cold earthquake and turned the tiger away from the mountain? Are these more than 4,000 people just bait? So in which direction will the rebels break through?

Lin Ji took out the map again and spread it out directly on horseback, Lei Shan? Ferry? Still is......

Lin Ji quickly denied countless locations, and he couldn't guess where the main force of the rebels was, until his eyes fell back to the wild boar forest.

To be precise, it's the silver water beach south of the wild boar forest. The word Silver Water Beach is so small on the map that Lin Ji almost ignores its existence.

Silverwater Beach is not a lake, nor is it the name of a wetland, it is just a small meadow that is relatively flat between several hills. Because of the rain in this generation, and after each rain, the rain does not have time to penetrate the ground, forming a shallow water network on the ground, and it looks like there is a silver light from a distance.

Silverwater Beach!

Seeing these three words, Lin Ji suddenly had a bad premonition, he seemed to have ignored something before, and he called the accompanying herald to ask.

"You said you found out that the rebels were massing...... A large number of troops? Lin Ji's memory is good, he thinks it shouldn't be his mistake, is it a mistake?

"Yes." The herald was also curious, and he explained, "We did find that the rebels had gathered a large number of troops...... Definitely more than four thousand. ”

It's broken, something happened! Lin Ji scolded in his heart, he calculated everything, thinking that he was foolproof, but in the end, he still missed a little, it was this silver water beach. Silverwater Beach belonged to the territory of the rebels, so Lin Ji didn't count this small silverwater beach at all.

"In which direction did they chase them out?" Lin Ji asked a little hurriedly.

Don't be south, not east! North! West! Don't be south......

"Over there." The soldier pointed.

South.

This time, Lin Ji really seemed to have fallen into a bottomless abyss, and he got the answer he didn't want the most, which was still south.

"Damn it!" Lin Ji said eagerly; "Something's wrong! Something is wrong! ”

Lin Ji didn't expect that the rebels were so bold that they would dare to do the opposite at this time. Facing the encirclement laid by Lin Ji, no, it was simply an encirclement network, they did not choose to break through, but decisively carried out a counter-encirclement.

If Lin Ji did not guess wrong, then the "defeated" 4,000 rebels should be just a decoy, the purpose of which was to lure their forces to their territory and counterattack. What a simple ruse, why no one can see it!

Lin Ji couldn't even count the others, and he had just realized it.

"What's wrong?" The soldier who was asked was still confused, and did not understand why the person in front of him was so flustered.

"Hit the mark! How many people are still in the camp? Hurry up, assemble now! Lin Ji ordered.

"Huh? Can we also go to the military for merit? The soldier was excited.

Lin Ji's eyes were cold, and he couldn't see a trace of joy, he said, "Let's go save people." ”

Lin Ji guessed correctly, a huge conspiracy was brewing on the silver water beach, it was like a huge trap, waiting for the arrival of its prey, and it threw itself into the net.

Silverwater Beach is small, and even smaller than this one, as inconspicuous as its inconspicuous logo on the map. But when you really step into the boundary of Silverwater Beach, you will find that this place is actually quite empty.
