"Ahem...... cough cough cough ......"

Xu Fangde's face was red, and he patted his chest to calm down while cleaning up things in the yard.

Liu Yi had just ordered that the army would be pulled out in two hours, and he had to bring the things that the young master had explained before the pull, as well as the necessary materials for crossing the snow-capped mountain.

"Are you alright?"

Seeing that he was really coughing badly, Xu Rui couldn't help but ask.

Xu Fang waved his hand and said, "It's not a big deal, I have to cough for a while in winter, and I'm sick." ”

Xu Rui saw that his complexion was not too bad, and thought that it was probably bronchitis or something like that, and when he went back to the capital, he would have to let Mr. Changpo take care of him.

"When it's really uncomfortable, give yourself an injection, the medicine will be handed over to you for safekeeping, and you have learned the method of injection, there is no problem, right?"

The misuse of antibiotics can cause great harm, and Xu Rui has always advocated that antibiotics should not be used if they are not necessary.

Xu Fang shook his head and said with a smile: "Young master, don't worry, the old slave is in good health, and I have to accompany you for twenty years!" ”

"Where is twenty years enough, thank you for your hard work, stay with me for a lifetime!"

"Okay, the young master said that he would stay with him for as long as he wanted."

The two laughed a few words, and Xu Rui suddenly asked, "By the way, where is Zhang Zuofeng?" ”

Xu Fangdao: "It should still be with General Xiao, he has been taking care of General Xiao during this time, and the old slave sends him medicine every day, and General Xiao has improved a lot." ”

Xu Rui nodded, he originally had something for Zhang Zuofeng to do, but since he knew that he wanted to take care of Xiao Jinwu, it was not good to support him again.

After pondering for a moment, Xu Rui said: "The wounded soldiers in the city can't go with the army, there will be a backlash in this matter, although General Liu has taken some measures, but I am still afraid that something will happen."

You go and tell Zhang Zuofeng and ask him to think of a way to bring Xiao Jinwu and Mr. Changpo to the Chinese army in advance, both of them are important figures and must retreat with the army. ”

"Okay, old slave, let's do it."

Xu Fang agreed, put down the work in his hand, and walked towards the wounded barracks.

Just as the three dogs came from outside the yard, they passed by him and said hello.

When Xu Rui saw Sangou, he immediately smiled and said, "Are you okay?" ”

Sangou happily ran to Xu Rui's side, patted his chest and said, "It's okay, no one took care of me after they caught me, just like Brother Rui said, if I didn't want to take the opportunity to be lazy, I would have run out a long time ago." ”

Xu Rui patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction and said, "It's okay, it's okay, I'm lazy if I don't learn everything, it's not a good habit." ”

The three dogs laughed and scratched their heads, looking very much like Xu Rui.

Xu Rui shook his head: "Okay, don't be lazy, I just happened to have something, I originally asked Zhang Zuofeng to do it, but now he can't get out, so it can only fall on you." ”

"What's the matter? Brother Rui, you say, I promise to do it properly for you. ”

"Do you remember the night we burned down the pharmacy in Lingdong?"

Sangou nodded.

Xu Rui said: "I agreed with Mei Chuang, you go to him and ask for a few people, go to the pharmacy to take away the frost and sulfur, and bring as many as you want." ”

"Brother Rui, what kind of treasure are those things, worthy of your concern?"

"It's a long story, I'll explain it to you when I go back after the battle, you just have to remember that it's a treasure related to the life and death of the army, as long as your life is not lost, you can't lose anything, understand?"

Sangou nodded solemnly: "Brother Rui, don't worry, even if I die, I can't lose anything!" ”

Xu Rui poked his forehead with his fingertips and said, "Bah, what stinky farts you put out, you are not allowed to die!" Go for it. ”

Sangou smiled and rubbed his hands, but he didn't move.

Xu Rui was stunned for a moment and asked, "Is there anything else?" ”

Sangou twisted and said: "Brother Rui, last night you promised me that when I went back after the battle, I would invite my family to eat at the best restaurant in the capital, is it true?" ”

Xu Rui nodded and said: "Of course, I have inquired, the best restaurant in the capital is Wentian Pavilion, and your brother Rui will definitely do what he says." ”

"Really?"

"Really!"

"Take my mother and siblings?"

"Bring as many as you want!"

"Great!"

Sangou gave Xu Rui a bear hug, then turned around and ran out of the yard, shouting at the door: "Brother Rui, don't worry, I can't lose my things!" ”

After saying that, he ran away and disappeared.

"This kid ......"

Seeing Sangou disappear, Xu Rui suddenly laughed, he was really similar to himself when he was in the slums, hey, now he can't go back.

He shook his head, went back to his house, picked out a bunch of maps, and walked towards the Chinese army.

The remaining two hours were very tight on his time, because he had to choose a suitable march route through Liuqing Mountain, and the meticulousness of the work would directly determine how many people would survive in the end.

Fortunately, long before attacking Lingdong, he had already used crossing Liuqing Mountain as an alternative, specifically learning about the situation in the mountains from the locals, and even drew a map, but it was temporarily rejected because the cost was too great, but he didn't expect to leave a way back for the crisis at this moment.

In the Chinese army, Liu Yi had already found all the hunters he could find, Xu Rui separated them, inquired about the situation in the mountains one by one, and then corroborated each other to ensure that the most authentic data was obtained, and then used these data to correct the map.

Mei Chuang saw him writing and drawing on the map with a small ruler and a hard pen, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "What are these circles?" ”

"Contours."

Xu Rui said without raising his head.

Mei Chuangqi said: "What is a contour line? ”

"It's the line that marks the height, for example, the circle at the same elevation as the circle represents the height of 800 meters, and if you connect all the circles, you can imagine an abstract mountain range."

"Oh...... I see......"

Mei Chuang nodded abruptly.

"Understood?"

Liu Yi on the side glanced at him and asked lightly.

Mei Chuang shook her head.

Liu Yi rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Then what else do you say?" ”

Mei Chuang smiled: "This kid has too many tricks, and he always says that he doesn't know and is afraid of being laughed at by him." ”

Liu Yi looked at Xu Rui and sighed: "This kid is really lucky, he has learned such a good skill, sometimes even the old man is a little envious of him." ”

As he spoke, Xu Rui had already pointed out many small dots on the map, and then connected these dots together with lines, and a long and winding line appeared.

"It's done, just go this way!"

Xu Rui let out a long breath, put the pen in his hand on the table, picked up the teacup and drank it all.

Liu Yi and Mei Chuang hurriedly surrounded them, but when they saw that the map was densely packed with numbers and marks, they couldn't understand it at all, and they couldn't help but blush.

"Boy, tell me how to get there?"

Liu Yi asked.

Xu Rui put down the teacup, pointed to the long winding line and said: "Liuqing Mountain is full of cliffs, the cliffs are winding, and the altitude difference is very large, if you want to reduce casualties, you must try to avoid these places, but if you go around too far, our materials are limited and we can't support it, so we can only choose a compromise route." ”

Seeing that the two nodded again and again, Xu Rui continued: "According to the Orions, there is a canyon in Liuqing Mountain, the altitude is relatively low, and the road is slightly easier to walk. ”

"How many people do you think will survive this route?"

Liu Yi doesn't really care which way to go, but how many people can survive.

Xu Rui sighed: "It's relative to say that it's good to go, this canyon is actually full of crises, if you're lucky, you may be able to survive a little more, but accidents are always unavoidable." ”

Liu Yi and Mei Chuang also knew that he was telling the truth, but it was difficult to accept such a result, especially since Beiwuwei could retreat with his whole body, but he had to pay such a big price.

Thinking of this, they couldn't help but be even more resentful of Dark Chess and Jinyiwei.

At this moment, a scout suddenly rushed into the Chinese army, and when he saw Liu Yi and the others, he first saluted, and then turned around and closed the door.

Seeing this, several people looked at each other, and their brows jumped, and their hearts sank.

"What's going on?"

Liu Yi asked in a deep voice.

The scout hugged his fists and said: "General Qiyu, the army of the Southern Dynasty has been found thirty miles away!" ”

"What? They came so fast! ”

Liu Yi's pupils shrank, Mei Chuang was shocked, and the two exclaimed in unison.

The scout said, "It's the news that the withdrawn scout just came, and it'...... And ......"

"And what, say it quickly!"

Seeing him spitting and spitting, Liu Yi was suddenly impatient.

The scout gritted his teeth and said in one breath: "And it's not just the three thousand Black Flag Army that comes, but also the banner of the Rhino Horn Army!" ”

"What?!"

This time, not only Liu Yi and Mei Chuang, but even Xu Rui suddenly got up and was shocked.

There are three major pro-armies under the account of King Wuling, and the Black Flag Army is the trump card of the trump cards, with the strongest combat power, but the total number is the least, only 10,000 horses, all cavalry;

The rhino horn army has the largest number, with more than 70,000 people in the whole army, mixed on horse, the best at hard fighting and night fighting, and has repeatedly broken the main force of the Northern Dynasties;

The last army of silence is specialized in siege and defense of the city, the number of people is three to fifty thousand, all infantry, will use a variety of weapons when fighting, is the strongest army in positional warfare, so far, the brilliant record of this army is second only to the black flag, I heard that the king of Wuling once conceited that if you want to break through the city guarded by the army of silence, unless the siege is also the army of silence.

These three pro-armies have their own characteristics, and they also learn from each other's strengths and complement each other's weaknesses, and their combat strength is unparalleled in the world.

At present, in order to pursue Beiwuwei, King Wuling actually dispatched two of the three pro-armies, which shows that he attaches great importance to this battle, and it also makes Liu Yi and the three of them even more headaches.

"It's too late, it's only thirty miles away, and the Black Flag Army can be killed in half a day at most, and the route must be changed."

Xu Rui picked up a hard pen and added a stroke to the winding marching route, directly connecting this line to Lingdong.

"The whole army immediately set out, went directly into the mountains from the north of Lingdong City, and then went around for half a day to go to the planned route, and that's all."

Liu Yi frowned: "Is it too late to take this road?" ”

Xu Rui shook his head: "I don't know, I have to prepare for the worst, by the way, lend me three hundred soldiers, I want to arrange it in advance." ”

Liu Yi made a color at Mei Chuang, and Mei Chuang immediately said, "I will personally bring someone to accompany you." ”

Xu Rui nodded: "It's okay, then please ask the general to immediately reorganize the army and strive to set off as soon as possible, I need at most an hour here, and the army must be drawn after an hour at the latest!" ”
