From the departure of the army from Yuanguang to Dongjiang County, if you gallop on horseback, half a day is enough.

But on foot, it will take two or three days.

However, when troops march to fight, it is not as simple as walking, and when they arrive at the battlefield, they start fighting.

The whole army was burdened, and the speed of march could not be fast.

In addition, the terrain environment is complex, and it is necessary to be vigilant at all times, to listen to the reality ahead, to make sure that there is no ambush, etc., before advancing, in addition, it is necessary to adjust the marching route at any time according to the feedback from all sides, etc.

The sky is bright.

It snowed all night, and although the snow was not very big, the sky and the earth still turned into a white expanse.

Outside the dilapidated town, there are temporary fortifications everywhere, and there are soldiers with their necks bent rubbing their hands on guard, while cursing in a low voice that the commanders don't know what they are crazy about, and actually let everyone go out to fight the Dongjiang River on this cold day, while looking forward to changing the guard or looking forward to breakfast, so that they can go back to warm up.

This is the place where the coalition forces of Yue Hongshan Gao Chonghai, which marched towards the Dongjiang River after assembling in Yuanguang County, were temporarily stationed.

In a house that was used as a temporary headquarters, a hot breakfast was already on the table, and golden millet porridge and buns were exuding an enticing fragrance.

But where are Yue Hongshan and Gao Chonghai in the mood to eat, looking at the snowflakes that are still falling outside the window, sighing, the mood is like pressing a boulder, heavy.

"Two captains, why don't you have breakfast?"

Gu Kang, who was ordered to oversee the army, wore a straight military uniform and pushed the door in a proud manner, looked at the fragrant rice porridge buns on the table and sneered: "Could it be that the two captains are used to being the emperor of the soil, and they usually have fine clothes and jade food, but this kind of food is no longer in the mouth?" ”

Not to mention that look, just this yin and yang weird tone had already made Yue Hongshan and Gao Chonghai extremely unhappy, but now that they were under the eaves, they had to hold back their anger and laugh: "Adjutant Gu, you are joking, where are we still in the mood to eat now......

As he spoke, he told his worries.

On the one hand, the weather conditions have suddenly deteriorated, and the view of the road is difficult to see, and on the other hand, the spies sent to the Dongjiang River before, since last night, there has been no news back!

"It can't be that your spies are afraid of the cold, hiding in which kiln and lying on the belly of the girl and refusing to get up?"

Gu Kang sneered: "Since there are no spies to report back, can't you send spies again?" You can't just wait here, do you? ”

"It's already sent!"

Gao Chonghai said angrily, "We didn't get the news of Dongjiang County in the middle of the night last night, so we immediately sent a large number of spies to Dongjiang to investigate, but until now, the spies have not returned...... Adjutant Gu, what we mean is that now that the enemy situation in the Dongjiang River is unknown, and the weather conditions are not ideal, it is better for us to be stationed here first, and wait and talk! ”

"No way!"

Gu Kang refused without hesitation: "I see that your spies didn't send back the news is fake, you are trying to make excuses, and it is true to be passive and sabotage - to tell you, I, Gu Kang, was ordered to supervise the army, if you dare to delay the fighter, I will immediately report to the regiment commander, and when the regiment commander starts a fire, you know the consequences!" ”

"You ......"

When Gao Chonghai heard this, he immediately trembled with anger, and he was about to scold!

Yue Hongshan hurriedly made his eyes calm Gao Chonghai, and then said with a smile: "Adjutant Gu, we are really not passive and sabotage, we are really unclear about the enemy, then Yang Yi and Xu Song are scheming, if we just rush forward, in case we are ambushed, who is responsible?" ”

"That's yours!"

Gu Kang snorted coldly, but his tone was slightly loose.

After all, the two of them can be regarded as the forward position of the Lingjiang Estuary, if they really suffer unnecessary losses and their strength is greatly damaged, the Lingjiang Estuary defense line is bound to be cold, and Li Qingtai will never be too happy.

Yue Hongshan observed his words and discussed: "Then at least, wait until the secret agent we sent out last night comes back?" ”

"At noon at most!"

Gu Kang snorted: "Don't blame me for not reminding you, no matter whether the spies you sent out come back or not, you must give me a kick-the soldiers are fast, solve the Dongjiang Security Regiment as soon as possible, let's finish it as soon as possible, and forget a matter of our Commander Li, otherwise wait any longer, but the snow will close the mountain, do you still want to keep the Dongjiang Security Regiment for the New Year?" ”

"This damn guy!"

As soon as Gu Kang went out, Gao Chonghai slammed his fist against the wall, his teeth gritted loudly, as if he wanted to bite off Gu Kang's neck.

"Calm down, huh? Who made us reluctant to pay for this guy before? ”

Yue Hongshan smiled bitterly and said with emotion: "I'd rather offend a gentleman than a villain—the ancients didn't deceive me...... Regret not being at the beginning! ”

Less than noon, two fast horses foaming at the mouth finally brought back the news of Dongjiang County again!

But when Yue Hongshan Gao Chonghai heard the news, not only did he not feel happy, but his face was like a mournful woman, and he immediately sent someone to invite Gu Kang, so that the spies could report the situation to Gu Kang in person!

"The Dongjiang Security Regiment was pulled out of the city separately when it was dark last night!"

The spy drank a gulp of tea before wiping his mouth and said, "Because it is snowing, all the traces of these guys after they left the city have been covered, and now no one knows the whereabouts of the Dongjiang Security Regiment......

"What?"

When Gu Kang heard this, his expression also became solemn, and he snorted, "What about those secret agents before you?" You didn't contact them, what do they have to say? ”

"No one can be found!"

The spy said with a gloomy face: "If my estimate is correct, it is estimated that those brothers should have been intercepted by the people of the Dongjiang Security Corps!" ”

"Adjutant Gu, what should we do now?"

Yue Hongshan Gao Chonghai said: "The security group is so deliberately hiding their whereabouts, they are definitely ambushing on our way, if we continue to go deeper, there is a danger of breaking into the encirclement at any time!" ”

Gu Kang groaned, thinking that Bailongzhai had already discussed with the regiment and cooperated with the combined forces of the two to attack Dongjiang County before and after, and suddenly roared: "The one surnamed Yang and the one surnamed Xu must be using a suspicious tactic, obviously trying to take advantage of our unknown factors to delay us as much as possible - order the troops, immediately pull out, and advance at full speed in the direction of Dongjiang County!" ”

The coalition forces quickly gathered in the town, and after a short time, they ran out of the town, braving the snow in the direction of Dongjiang County.

On the distant mountain, when the coalition forces were pulling out, a few white dots suddenly moved, and when you looked closely, you found that it was clearly a person covered with snow!
