"Victory! Victory! ”

Watching the Tatar army and the Ningxia army withdraw one after another, thunderous cheers erupted from the Ming army's position. In this battle, the Ming army destroyed more than 2,000 enemies, and there were one or two thousand wounded Tatars, while the Ming army only suffered some casualties when the Tatar cavalry shot arrows and when Xiao Ruxun led the troops to attack, a total of about 100 people. At such a small cost, achieving such a big result can be regarded as an unprecedented victory.

When Xiao Ruxun and Su Hao initially decided to go out of the city to meet the enemy, most of the officers and soldiers were nervous, after all, the other party was a fierce Tatar cavalry, and the total strength was as many as 20,000. Now, the Tatar army and the Ningxia army fled in disgrace without making any money, and everyone fell to the ground with a stone, and their emotions were unusually high.

"Queue, go back to the city!" Xiao Ruxun gave an order to the whole army.

"General soldier, do you want to cut off the heads of the Tatars?" A general ran up to ask for instructions.

Xiao Ruxun raised his eyes to look at the messy battlefield, shook his head, and said, "Although the Rabbit has withdrawn, we still have to guard against him suddenly giving us a return rifle." These heads don't have to be cut, just stay here. When you completely defeat the Rabbit and recover Ningxia City, the general army will ask you for credit, and everyone's credit will not be able to run. ”

"Xie Zongbing!" All the officers and soldiers shouted in unison.

The generals of each department commanded the men and horses of their headquarters and slowly retreated into the city in order. Xiao Ruxun walked last, and after entering the city, he ordered the city gate officials to close the city gate, and ordered the city wall to strengthen the defense to prevent the enemy from sneaking attack.

Su Hao led his troops back to the station of the Kanyu Camp, and as soon as he arrived at his residence, Lu Xiu'er, Cheng Yi, Ge Ling and several other girls surrounded him together. looked Su Hao up and down, and looked at Su Hao all over.

"Are you all alright?" Su Hao asked.

"Brother, you're not hurt, are you?" Lu Xiu'er was the first to ask.

Su Hao said with a smile: "I have always been in command in the back, and I haven't personally gone into battle to kill the enemy, how can I be injured." ”

"Amitabha. The Bodhisattva in the temple is really spiritual, bless my brother unscathed. Lu Xiu'er said happily, "Tomorrow I must go to the temple to make a vow." ”

"No, you really went to the temple to ask for a Bodhisattva?" Su Hao couldn't cry or laugh. There was a small temple in this Pingyu city, which he had also visited before, and it is said that every time the officers and soldiers of Pingyu went on an expedition. Some superstitious family members will go to the temple to make wishes to keep their families safe. Unexpectedly, Lu Xiu'er had only been here for a few days, and she had learned this custom.

"Brother, you don't know, we're worried about you, especially Sister Cheng Yi. I'm almost scared to death. Lu Xiuer took Su Hao's hand and said.

"How can I ......" Cheng Yi blushed, and quickly turned his head, not daring to look at Su Hao.

"I prove that Sister Cheng Yi is the most worried about General Su, and Sister Xiu'er is second." The singer is not too big to watch the excitement, and adds oil and vinegar to the side.

Su Hao looked at Cheng Yi's embarrassment, and suddenly felt a wave of warmth in his heart. It's been more than a year. Cheng Yi has been working as a bookkeeper in his camp, and he is actually equivalent to Su Hao's secretary. Although Su Hao's emotional intelligence is not high, he can't see Cheng Yi's attachment to him. Thinking that he was fighting in the front, and there were red faces like Lu Xiuer and Cheng Yi in the rear who were worried about him, he couldn't help but be a little moved.

"Cheng Yi, thank you for your concern." Su Hao said to Cheng Yi sincerely.

The general is fine, and Cheng Yi is relieved. I just hope that when the general is about to fight, remember that there are still people at home who are worried about you, so be sure to take care. Cheng Yi lowered his head. Said softly.

"Su Hao remembered."

"General Su, Sister Cheng is so worried about you, you don't have anything to say?" The singer continued to tap Su Hao.

Su Hao glared at Ge Ling, did not continue the topic, but turned to Lu Xiu'er and said, "Xiu'er." Today, in one day, we have used up nearly 500 shells and propellants, and the flintlock pistol has consumed nearly 20,000 rounds of ammunition, and almost three-thirds of the supplies you have brought in have been used. How much inventory is there in Jingshi's factory, and can it supply our consumption? ”

"Oh, so many shells and bullets were used up in one battle!" Lu Xiu'er's eyes widened, "Over there in the factory, there is still some inventory, and some more should have been produced these days." However, if we continue to use it like this, no matter how large the production is, it will not be enough, and besides, these shells and bullets are all silver. ”

Su Hao said: "Don't worry, it's definitely impossible to use it like this every day, think about it, how many soldiers are there in total?" However, just in case, I am afraid that I have to ask the Beijing division to send a batch of ammunition here, as well as artillery and flintlock guns, which are also attrition and need to be replenished. ”

"I'll go back to this right away!" Lu Xiu'er said without hesitation.

Su Hao shook his head and said, "You rush back now, and then escort the ammunition over, it's too long." I wanted to ask who else in the capital is more reliable and can take on the task of escorting ammunition. I asked General Xiao to send a fast horse to Beijing to deliver the letter, you don't have the ability to rush eight hundred miles. ”

Lu Xiu'er thought for a while and said, "There are a few reliable people in the factory in the capital, all of whom we have recruited for more than a year. In this way, I will write a letter to them, and you can make a list of the things you want, and ask the messenger sent by Brother Xiao to send them to the capital. ”

"Okay, you can start arranging it." Su Hao said.

As soon as he finished talking about this, Xiong Minfan, the captain of the pro-soldiers, ran in and reported to Su Haoyu: "Report to Deputy Chief Soldier Su, Chief Soldier Xiao is here and is waiting for you in the hall." ”

"Oh, didn't you come to invite me to a celebratory drink again?" Su Hao smiled and muttered to a few girls, and then walked towards the hall with Xiong Minfan.

When he came to the hall and saw Xiao Ruxun sitting there waiting for him, Su Hao bowed his hand and asked, "Brother Xiao, if there is anything you want to tell the younger brother, just send someone to call the younger brother to go to the General Military Mansion, and Brother Xiao will come to the house in person." ”

Xiao Ruxun stood up and saluted: "You and I are like brothers, why pay attention to this kind of politeness." Breaking the enemy today is the first merit, and it is natural for Xiao to come to visit. ”

"Haha, Brother Xiao is serious. However, since we are here, let's have a few drinks at the little brother's place that night to celebrate our defeat of the Rabbit. Su Hao said.

Xiao Ruxun said: "Change it." I'm not busy with drinking, I'm here to discuss something. ”

"Brother Xiao, please speak." Su Hao saw that Xiao Ruxun's face was serious, so he also put away his smile and sat down and waited for Xiao Ruxun to speak.

Xiao Ruxun said: "Change it." Although we have dealt a heavy blow to the Rabbit today, his vitality has not been damaged. According to the scout's report, Zhu Litu brought 20,000 people to Pingyu City this time, and he only used 10,000 people to fight today, and was finally defeated by us. It's only 4,000 of them. According to my calculations, after deducting the number of dead and wounded, there are at least 16,000 people in the hands of the Rabbit, and with the Biyun Division, the strength of the thieves is four times that of ours. ”

"That's true, what does Brother Xiao think?" Su Hao asked.

Xiao Ruxuan said: "Xiao thinks. The enemy is outnumbered, and if we wait for the enemy army to rest and recuperate, and then attack the city with all our might, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to hold it. Therefore, the current plan should be to repeat the old trick......"

"You mean, the one who dealt us with Biyun. Take it out again to deal with the power rabbit? Su Hao understood what Xiao Ruxun meant. After they defeated Biyun a few days ago, they went out of the city at night to harass Biyun's camp, which dealt a great blow to Biyun. Xiao Ruxun said that the old trick was repeated, and he naturally wanted to attack the camp that disturbed Litu again.

Xiao Ruxun nodded and said, "That's right, do you think it's feasible to change it?" ”

Su Hao said: "I have no experience in war, this kind of thing, it is better to ask Uncle Xu and Chen Langzhong to discuss it together." In my opinion, the Rabbit is not Biyun, he has many cavalry, once he is harassed. He should be able to quickly go out of the camp and counterattack, and we will use the same method to deal with Biyun against him, which may not work. ”

Xiao Ruxun said: "That's natural, we dare to attack Biyun at night, just because he lacks cavalry." Don't dare to go out of the village to fight. The difference between the Rabbit and him is that all of them are cavalrymen. However, if we are ready to pay some casualties and fight with the rabbit, we are in the dark, he is in the light, and he will definitely be the one who suffers. ”

"This ......" Su Hao hesitated a little. Xiao Ruxun's meaning is to be ready to sacrifice some people in exchange for greater casualties on the other side. As a frontier general, it was natural for him to think this way. But for Su Hao, it seems a bit cruel to do so. Of course, Su Hao also knew that there would definitely be casualties in a war, and it was understandable to be able to exchange small casualties for large casualties on the other side, especially in the current severe form, this kind of sacrifice was even more necessary.

Xiao Ruxun saw Su Hao's hesitation, he smiled and said, "Change is like a soldier, Xiao knows it." You can rest assured, Xiao's sneak attack only used the men and horses of the headquarters of the Pingyu Institute, and did not use the officers and soldiers of the survey battalion. Today, the brothers of the Kanyu camp have made great contributions to the enemy, and they have all worked hard, so they will not be tired of the night battle. ”

"This ...... Not so good. Su Hao said insincerely.

"Xiao has already selected five hundred daredevils in the army, and he will go out of the city tonight to attack the camp of Litu." Xiao Ruxun said.

Su Hao was surprised: "Brother Xiao is here to inform me about this?" ”

Xiao Ruxun said: "In addition to reporting this matter, Xiao also has a reluctant request, I don't know if I can agree to it." ”

Su Hao said: "Brother Xiao said that it doesn't matter, as long as the younger brother can do it...... Well, of course, we'll have to see what's going on. ”

According to the usual saying, Su Hao should say that as long as he can do it, he can agree. But after thinking about it, Xiao Ruxun is a person who is keen on adventure, in case he has any crazy ideas that he needs to cooperate with, he will weigh it anyway, so he quickly added a footnote, saying that he would listen to Xiao Ruxun's request first and then make a decision.

Xiao Ruxun was also accustomed to Su Hao's caution, which he attributed to Su Hao's scholarly temperament. He smiled and whispered to Su Hao: "Xiao will not let Gaizhi and your generals go on an adventure, Xiao just wants to borrow some objects from you." I remember last time you said that you still have a sharp weapon in the army, can you lend it to Xiao, Xiao will definitely let the rabbit taste it well. ”

"That's totally fine." After listening to what Xiao Ruxun wanted to borrow, Su Hao agreed.

"Okay, with this sharp weapon, even if all my five hundred people are exhausted, it will be worth it, and I will definitely be able to beat the Rabbit to the ground, and I will no longer have the strength to attack the city." Xiao Ruxun said happily.

Su Hao said: "Brother Xiao, I still hope that these brothers can return safely, and this kind of thing of exchanging lives for lives is really a bit cruel." ”

Xiao Ruxun said: "If there is another way, Xiao will not make this decision." Now, apart from this method, what other way can break the morale of Li Tu and shake his determination to attack the city? There is no need to be sad to change it, our border army has always put life and death out of the way. Not all of the soldiers who went to the camp tonight were damaged, but if they could fight well, perhaps most of the brothers would have returned safely. ”

"I hope so." Su Hao said, "Brother Xiao, let's go to Chen Langzhong and Veteran Xu, listen to their opinions, and see how our survey camp cooperates with the brothers in the Pingyu camp." ”

Xiao Ruxun said: "Okay, if there is the cooperation of the survey battalion, our army's chances of victory will be five points more." ”

Su Hao was about to call someone to invite Chen Dao and Xu Guangzu, when suddenly a soldier from the Pingyu Institute hurriedly ran in and reported to them: "Report to General Xiao and Deputy General Su, there is a person outside the city gate calling the door, saying that there is something important to discuss with the two general soldiers." ”

"Outside the city gates?" Xiao Ruxun and Su Hao glanced at each other, and Xiao Ruxun asked, "Who is it?" ”

"It's our Ming army, I don't know where it came from." The soldier said.

"Let's go, let's see." Xiao Ruxun said.
