For Amin's judgment, Zierharang disagreed, and calmly explained to Amin: "Uncle, although Niuzhuang is lonely in the interior of the Qing Dynasty, it seems that Lu Hanqiang is surrounded by enemies, and he should retreat after destroying and looting for a while, but uncle, you forget one thing, Lu Hanqiang now has a powerful Shandong Navy Division behind him, and we have no Navy Division to oppose it, so on the ground, as long as Lu Hanqiang ensures the safety of the sea, he will get a steady stream of material support from the rear, if another column is dispatched to climb 6, in the hands of Lu Hanqiang, who is good at building cities, Niu Zhuang will become a sharp knife inserted in the soft underbelly of our Great Qing Dynasty, and it will be difficult to expel him at that time, so we must press Lu Hanqiang from all sides and drive him back to the sea when his foothold is not stable. ”

Why didn't Amin know this? But now the embarrassment is our Qing Dynasty, even if Lu Hanqiang is driven back to the sea, he can come back at any time, and if Niuzhuang wants to garrison the army, then where does this army come from? Being overstretched has become a military drawback of the Qing Dynasty.

So he sighed again: "Then when are you going to come out?" ”

Zilharang thought for a while and said: "I am going to quietly lead the men and horses out at night, and on the city wall, there is still my blue flag, you to confuse the other party to delay time, as long as it is delayed for three or five days, I think the emperor's army will also join me and attack Niuzhuang, and then we will live this game of chess." ”

Amin nodded in agreement: "It's still a virtuous nephew who is young and promising, this method is very appropriate, so let's do it." ”

The two discussed and immediately took action, and in the middle of the night of the same day, Zilharang took his 75oo cavalry and quietly walked out of the east gate of the mountain and slowly approached the cattle village.

Between Panshan and Niuzhuang is a large plain, at this time Liaodong is vast and sparsely populated, in this area, the river is vertical and horizontal wetland, dense and withered yellow reeds are connected to the sky, some of the reeds are as high as one person, people can only show half of their bodies on horses, as far as the eye can see, just a piece of yellow whirring, a gust of south wind blows, there is a huge sound of reed rubbing, just like the yellow ocean waves are undulating and churning, occasionally there are one or two wild ducks and water birds, soaring in this wetland, chirping and rushing to the blue sky, And all this seemed so solemn in Zilharang's eyes.

Zilharang, who was walking in front of the team, suddenly raised his hand, and the team stopped, silently waiting for Zilharang's next command.

Zilharang seemed to sense that something was wrong, and he climbed over and stood directly on the horse's back, and put his hand on the pergola to look around, but his eyes were full of reeds and reeds, and between heaven and earth, except for the sound of the rubbing of the blades of the reeds, there was no other sound.

At this time, the staff leader beside him looked up at the flag owner who seemed too cautious in confusion, and he couldn't help but feel nervous in his heart.

This time the army quietly out of Panshan City in the middle of the night, has been walking for three days without slowness, and now this position, less than half of the distance from Niuzhuang, and during this period of time, the banner owner is always very careful, constantly arranging the patrol to go back to contact Panshan, and constantly release the patrol to the direction of Niuzhuang.

In fact, the patrol post sent in the direction of Niuzhuang played a small role, because the overwhelming reeds limited the line of sight of the patrol post, and the patrol post did not dare to disperse too far, once it was too far away, it would get lost in the reeds, and in the past two days, there have been no less than 20 patrol posts lost and not returned.

"What's the Banner Master?"

Zilharang did not answer the question of the staff around him, but asked another question: "How many patrols were released early this morning?" ”

The leader thought for a moment: "Let go of a hundred." ”

"How much do you get back?"

The chief thought for a moment, then replied, "Sixty back." ”

Zilharang snorted, on the first day he was released 1oo and came back 95, and five people were lost and lost, which is understandable, because they have just left Panshan City, and these patrols are quite familiar with the surrounding terrain. And yesterday I released 1oo, eighty of them came back, and twenty of them got lost and lost, and today I released 1oo, but forty of them disappeared at once, and this distance is not much farther than the original one, such a result made Zilharang's heart jump involuntarily, a kind of ominous omen, suddenly rose in his heart.

Jumping off his horse, he announced in a loud voice: "The whole army has stopped advancing, and we will camp here before we have taken back all the patrols." Then he deliberately added: "When camping, you must pay attention to the fire and don't go to the water." ”

In fact, there is no need for him to specifically admonish, all the soldiers know that their army walking in this vast reed swing is equivalent to walking in the sea of fire.

After receiving the order of Zilharang, all the soldiers began to carefully set up camp to make fires for cooking and tending to the horses.

At this time, the cronie asked Zilharang in a low voice: "Banner master, is there anything wrong?" ”

Zilharang put his hands behind his back and frowned: "It is understandable that we disappeared on the first day, but it is a little worrying that twenty of us disappeared on the second day, and today forty people suddenly disappeared, do you think this is normal?" ”

The staff leader looked around, then looked at the sky, and then said indifferently: "Look at the sky is still far from the dark, maybe the forty patrol posts, still want to go a little farther and reconnoitre, or maybe it is on the way back, in fact, the flag owner can rest assured, our search is all veterans who have been tempered for thousands of years, most of them are born in white armor, and they are experienced, so there should not be too much loss." ”

Zilharang was even more worried: "It is these 1oo carefully selected patrol posts, there are forty people who have not returned, which makes me worry, we know a lot about Lu Hanqiang, he is definitely not a stable person, after attacking and occupying Niuzhuang with an instantaneous thunderstorm, it is impossible for him to stay in Niuzhuang honestly and blindly loot." Then he turned around and stared at the leader: "Our leaders who went out are all white-armored, which is the elite among the elites, but I know better that Lu Hanqiang has a group of patrol sentries under him, called the prison sergeant, and its elite degree is definitely not inferior to our white-armored soldiers, and we walked for three days, but we didn't meet a supervisor of Lu Hanqiang, this is very abnormal, the so-called abnormal things are demons, I suspect that Lu Hanqiang is preparing some moths for us." Then looking at the leaders who still disagreed, Zilharang taught: "The marching formation is a competition between two opponents for wisdom and means, and our opponent is the scheming Lu Han general, we must be cautious and cautious." Then he sighed sadly: "We can no longer afford to lose the Qing Dynasty." ”
