Chapter 30: Searching for the Enemy
Niu Ben looked at the warrant that Wang Lang took out and said, "Brother Wang Lang, do you want to secondment our fourteenth squad?" ”
Wang Lang nodded, "Yes, the scouts I am familiar with in the army are only you, and I can't cooperate well with others." ”
"Brother, I'll tell you the truth, the current fourteen squads are all recruits, and the basic skills of the scouts have not been mastered yet. It is estimated that it will be difficult to complete the task. Niu Ben said with a sad face.
"It's okay, I just want you, Qin Yong, and Qin Xiang to stay in the camp." Wang Lang said.
"As long as the three of us are okay?" Niu Ben asked with some hesitation.
"There are fewer people, it's easier to complete the mission, and these recruits are actually a bit burdensome to carry with them." Wang Lang.
"Okay, when will we go, we'll get ready." Niu Ben.
Wang Lang looked at Niu Ben and said, "The situation is urgent, there is not much time, so I will set off immediately." ”
Wang Lang took Niu Ben and the three of them to ride out of the Lion Castle, and at this time, Wufu quickly ran to Wang Lang and said, "Young Master, don't you take me there, I can lead the horse for you." ”
"Five Blessings. Take it with you in the barracks, and I'll go back as soon as I go. After Wang Lang finished speaking, he rode away.
A day later, the three of them arrived at the place where the Root garrison was stationed, and the scene was a mess. After a few people looked around, Wang Lang asked, "Brother, have you found anything?" ”
"Wang Lang, it seems that the Reims people have withdrawn their troops, and they are in a hurry." Niu Ben spoke his judgment.
"Can you determine the whereabouts of the Lancers?" Wang Lang asked.
"It's not difficult, as long as you follow the footsteps of their army, you will definitely find them." Niu Ben.
"Alright, let's get on our horses and go after the army of Reims." Wang Lang said.
As soon as the three of them got on the horse, Wang Lang directly turned on the aura of strong attack, and he was in great need of speed now. Niu Ben and Qin Yong had already felt the effect of the strong attack aura, there was nothing strange, Qin Xiang was taken aback, and just wanted to say something, Wang Lang had already ridden out, and he could only keep up with Wang Lang's footsteps tightly.
Two days later, Wang Lang and the others finally saw the traces of the Lance army, only to see more than 200,000 troops, stretching for dozens of miles, mighty and majestic.
"Wang Lang, the Lance people have indeed withdrawn their troops, and judging from the distance, they are in a hurry." Niu Ben looked at the figure of the army in the distance and said to Wang Lang.
Wang Lang nodded, they drove more than 400 miles in two days, but at the moment, these Lance troops were infantry, and it took at least five or six days to travel more than 400 miles, and they were still marching quickly.
"Wang Lang, I found a problem, that is, the cavalry of the Reims people is missing." Qin Yong stood beside Wang Lang and told what he had discovered.
Niu Ben looked at Wang Lang and said, "I have observed from the footprints along the way and their soldiers, their cavalry must have abandoned the infantry and left first. ”
"Captain, are you sure?" Wang Lang asked.
Niu Ben nodded, "I can be sure of this, the only thing I don't know is what is the reason for the reims people to attack in such a hurry." ”
"If only I could take a prisoner." Qin Xiang said.
"It's useless, this kind of large-scale withdrawal, ordinary soldiers definitely don't know the reason, but senior officers with a few of us will definitely not be able to catch it." Niu Ben.
Wang Lang glanced at the Lance army speeding in the distance and said, "Captain, let's go back, now this kind of information is enough." ”
Niu Ben nodded, and the four of them galloped towards the border.
Three days later, in Cangyun's big tent, Wang Lang and Niu Ben stood in front of Cangyun.
Cangyun looked at a few people and asked, according to the situation you have investigated, the Lance people have really withdrawn their troops. Cangyun glanced at a few people and said.
"Yes, General, the Reims have indeed withdrawn." Wang Lang nodded.
"Can you be sure that all the armies have withdrawn." Cangyun looked at Wang Lang and asked.
"I'm sure." Wang Lang nodded.
"This news is too important, I need to inform the general, and wait for the general's reply." Cangyun said.
"General, what about me?" Wang Lang asked.
"Wait." Cangyun is just one word.
Wang Lang walked out of Cangyun's camp helplessly, and he now had the urge to scold his mother. It took so much effort to probe the information and come back, but only to get one word, etc. This made him feel very unhappy, and he roared loudly as he looked at the sky.
"Young Master, how is it? Did the General let you go back? Wufu rushed to his side and asked.
"Wait." Wang Lang looked at Wufu.
The sun set and the moon rose, Zhenyuan General's Mansion, Xu Bangxing looked at his beloved general and asked, "Cangyun, can you be sure that Wang Lang and their investigation of intelligence is true?" It's not a conspiracy played by Root. Although his scouts had already found out that Root had indeed withdrawn his troops, there were still some things that had not been clarified, and Xu Bangxing did not dare to make a judgment easily.
"General, it's hard to fake this kind of thing, after all, it's hard to disguise hundreds of thousands of troops." Cangyun said.
Xu Bangxing nodded, wanting to let hundreds of thousands of troops evacuate in disguise, wanting to hide from the scout's eyes and ears, this is not an easy thing, but it is not impossible. Now the question is what Root is doing, the earth-shattering conspiracy, or something big has happened to Lance, and they have nothing to live in.
Xu Bangxing walked to the map, checked the withdrawal route of the Reims people, made a gesture, and said, "Something big must have happened in the imperial capital of the Reims, and their army is going directly to the direction of the imperial capital." ”
"It's a pity that there is too little information, I can't judge, what happened to the Lance people, it will make Root run directly to the imperial capital with more than 200,000 troops, according to the past practice, the emperor of Lance will never allow hundreds of thousands of troops to enter the control circle of the imperial capital." Xu Bangxing muttered to himself.
Cangyun thought for a while and said, "General, is it true that Lu wants to go back to fight for the throne, so he goes back with hundreds of thousands of troops to force the palace." ”
"There is such a possibility, but the probability is not high, although our young opponent is ambitious, he does not have the idea of fighting for the throne." Xu Bangxing said,
"That's another situation, there is a rebellion in Ranstidu, and he takes a large army back to quell the rebellion." Cangyun said.
"It's possible, too, but damn it, there's so little information right now, I can't judge at all." Xu Bangxing said with a frown.
After a long time, Xu Bangxing looked at Cangyun and said, "We only have one way to deal with it now, and that is to wait, no matter what the situation is, there will definitely be news coming out, it is nothing more than a matter of time." ”
Cang Yun nodded, "What the general said is that the humble position must make the soldiers ready for battle and respond to possible situations at any time. ”
Xu Bangxing, "Okay, that's it." Intensify the scout's probing, and don't miss the slightest clue. ”
