Chapter 246: Observation
Guo Qifeng wanted to turn the horse's head around and leave the city, but it was too late.
Outside Baya City, by the Shicha River, Su Jiudong was also worried after Guo Qifeng led 70,000 elite troops to attack Baya City.
It has been two quarters of an hour since Guo Qifeng led the army to attack Baya City, but the movement outside Baya City is confusing one by one. First the cheers shook the sky, and then the killings were everywhere, which made people confused.
Guo Qifeng, who was in a panic, obviously didn't remember the words that Su Jiudong had instructed before leaving, and if something happened, he would send a flame signal to the camp for help.
At present, Guo Qifeng is also like an outlaw, making the last resistance to Su Jinjun, and he has no time to free his hand to pull the flame barrel on his waist to launch a distress signal.
Although Su Jiudong, who was far away in the camp, did not see that Guo Qifeng had ever launched a flame signal, he could also hear the shouts of killing in Baya City.
After pondering, Su Jiudong finally rushed back to the camp tent and put on his armor again, found Guo Qifeng's adjutant He Xiaoming, and seriously proposed: "There is movement in Baya City, and I ask General He to send a team to the front to investigate." ”
Su Jiudong himself guessed that the sound of fighting and killing the enemy he heard in the barracks in the past did not have the experience of cheering and cheering in the middle of the battle and then continuing to fight the enemy after cheering.
He Xiaoming also heard the movement in Baya City, but the angle he was thinking about was much more optimistic than Su Jiudong:
"Isn't the movement in Baya City only the movement of General Guo killing the enemy army? Doesn't the cheer just now mean that General Guo has broken through the defense line of Baya City? ”
"Didn't Miss Su stay in General Su's Middle Route Army before? You must have some understanding of the dynamics of the war, right? That's just a normal killing sound, Miss Su doesn't have to worry. ”
"It turns out that General He also heard the cheers, can't you notice what's wrong?"
Su Jiudong asked: "General He said that it was a normal sound of killing the enemy, dare to ask General He if there was a situation where he let out an unknown cheer in the middle of killing the enemy, and then continued to kill the enemy?" ”
"Since the cheers just now are real, there must be a reason. Dare to ask General He if he can answer the little girl, what happened during the war that made the whole army boil and cheer? ”
He Xiaoming replied: "It must be the joy after winning the battle that makes the whole army rejoice." ”
"Good. If it was the cheers of victory, why were there murders after the cheers? ”
"Didn't you already kill the enemy and win the battle? What is the sound of killing enemies again? ”
Su Jiudong's serial cannon asked He Xiaoming to stop.
Su Jiudong invited He Xiaoming into Guo Qifeng's main account, planning that the two would talk privately before making a decision.
Su Jiudong was willing to continue to say to He Xiaoming after paying attention to the fact that there was no one around:
"General He may not be able to think of an answer for a while, so you might as well let the little girl answer for you."
"When the battle is fighting, the sound of killing is shocking, it is the movement of the two armies fighting. There were cheers first, and the side that should have been one of the two armies won the victory. ”
Su Jiudong came to the sand table and deduced to He Xiaoming. Su Jiudong first pushed the red dragon head symbol representing the Yin army to the front of Baya City on the sand table, and analyzed:
"We are still a long way from Bayar City. If it is the victory of Su Jinguo's side, their cheers will not be heard in Baya City. ”
"And the sound of cheers can clearly reach our ears, indicating that the person who made the cheers is outside the city, and is closer to us than General Su in Baya City, so we can conclude that the sound is from our army."
He Xiaoming nodded, but he was still a little unimpressed. They are from the Great Yin Dynasty, of course, they will think that the Yin army has won, and they are naturally inclined to believe that the cheers just now were sent by Guo Qifeng after winning the battle.
Su Jiudong saw that He Xiaoming didn't care about her analysis just now, and might even think that her analysis of the cheers was meaningless...
Su Jiudong calmed down, staring at He Xiaoming's eyes while seriously analyzing:
"However, after the cheers, there were then killings, indicating that the victory just now was only temporary, and there are two possibilities for the recurrence of killings, one is that the temporarily defeated side has reinforcements arriving to rescue in time, and the two sides are fighting together."
"As things stand today, the first scenario is unlikely." Su Jiudong said firmly.
"Why is the first case impossible?" He Xiaoming had already sensed from Su Jiudong's analysis that she did have a brain, and she was not bad at marching and fighting, so she began to pay attention to what she said at this time.
Su Jiudong continued to analyze: "If our side was defeated, General Guo would have already launched a flame flare to request support. However, we didn't get a distress signal, and we didn't need to send reinforcements, so this was ruled out. "The whole book
"If the Sujin army is defeated, the defenders of Baya City are already the last trump card of Arislan, and it is impossible for troops from other places to reinforce them in the future."
Su Jiudong cleared the logo representing Su Jinjun from the sand table, leaving only six military marks, representing the only remaining 60,000 troops in Baya City.
"So the situation can only be the second one."
He Xiaoming respectfully bowed his hand to Su Jiudong and said solemnly: "Please also ask Miss Su to talk in detail." ”
"In the second case, it may be that the temporarily victorious side has strayed into a trap, and the defeat of the other side just now is only for a later plan, so it has caused the situation of the original victory to change."
Su Jiudong's eyes were nailed to the military mark representing the Yin Army, and his face was heavy.
He Xiaoming was frightened by Su Jiudong's analysis, and said in surprise: "Miss Su is so smart, just relying on the common sounds on the battlefield, she can analyze so many meanings behind it..."
Su Jiudong replied to He Xiaoming's praise with a modest attitude: "General He praised it falsely, the little girl just used the common elimination method to add a little analysis. ”
He Xiaoming wiped the thin sweat from his forehead in fear, and sighed: "Originally, the last general didn't realize that the cheers just now were different, but it was the sound of General Guo's victory, and after Miss Su's reminder, what a terrible reversal there was under careful inspection..."
Su Jiudong's face sank like water, and even his voice couldn't help but be a little lower: "Existence is reasonable, many things will happen, and there must be a reason behind it." The cheers just now followed by the slaughter, and that's what worries me the most. ”
He Xiaoming is now asking Su Jiudong for advice with a thirsty attitude: "In the second case, please ask Miss Su to be more detailed." ”
"Miss Su just said that the second situation is that the temporarily victorious side has strayed into a trap... I don't know if it was General Guo and our sergeant who hit the full set, or Azhislan? ”
The answer to this question... I'm afraid to disappoint us if I say it. Su Jiudong glanced at He Xiaoming deeply, and said, "I suspect that General Guo and our army have strayed into a trap, so I want to ask General He to send someone to the front line to investigate." ”
He Xiaoming couldn't help but start to be impatient: "Why do you conclude that General Guo fell into a trap with us?" ”
"General Guo is also a battlefield general, although he is not as experienced in a hundred battles as your father General Su, Miss Su, but he also has some little wisdom, is it possible that General Guo set a trap for Su Jinjun?"
"It's less likely." Su Jiudong had to tell the truth: "I believe that General Guo has his own experience in leading troops to fight, but this time he insisted on leading his troops to attack Baya City, which was already an impulsive move. ”
"Under impulse, people don't even have ordinary thinking, how can they come up with a rational strategy to control the enemy and lure Su Jinjun into a trap?"
He Xiaoming was suddenly depressed, and muttered to himself: "Could it be that there is really something wrong with the general?" …”
Su Jiudong also made his own guess:
"I'm afraid that General Guo was impulsive and fell into the trap of Arislan without noticing... General He, now is not the time to be upset, and I ask you to send someone to the front line as soon as possible to investigate the situation. If something really happens, we can immediately send troops to help General Guo. ”
The panicked He Xiaoming hurriedly wanted to rush out of the camp, but was quickly stopped by Su Jiudong: "General He! You rushed out like this, so that the soldiers would see it and they would join in the chaos. Please sort out your emotions before going out. ”
Su Jiudong's tone became more and more serious, "As a general, the most taboo thing is recklessness and impulsiveness. You are General Guo's adjutant, and you also represent the image of General Guo in the eyes of the soldiers. Therefore, you must lead by example and not lose your temper in front of the soldiers. ”
He Xiaoming looked at Su Jiudong, who was "reprimanding" himself in front of him, with a similar appearance, similar movements, and similar tone to Su Fenglan... As if he saw the real Su Fenglan standing in front of him, He Xiaoming only felt that Su Jiudong's whole person was exuding coldness.
Su Jiudong supervised He Xiaoming before he was willing to let him out of the main account after he sorted out his clothes and emotions. He Xiaoming remembered Su Jiudong's advice, and his walking speed was much slower than usual, and what he asked for was the word "stability".
He Xiaoming calmly ordered ten scouts to go to Baya City to inquire about the news, and if something happens, he will come back immediately to report it.
Su Jiudong saw that the scout skillfully loaded the flame signal flare into the cloth bag he carried, so he stepped forward and stopped in front of the captain of the scout, and calmly and earnestly admonished:
"If you find that there is something wrong on the battlefield, you must hurry back to the camp and report the news, this time you must not be greedy to send signal flares to notify us, that will only startle the snake. It not only attracted the attention of the enemy, but also exposed its own position, and the gains outweighed the losses. ”
The captain of the scout subconsciously looked at He Xiaoming, wanting to see what he said about Su Jiudong's requirements.
He Xiaoming immediately ordered all the soldiers in the barracks: "Miss Su is the aid sent by General Su Fenglan to our army. Miss Su means the general. Do what she says from now on. ”
The soldiers in the barracks replied with a "yes" in unison, and the captain of the scout team also led the nine scouts to set off quickly.
Su Jiudong and He Xiaoming were like two "Wangfu Stones" guarding the gate of the camp, waiting for the news of the expedition. Both of them were eager in their hearts, but they still had to remain silent on the surface.
About a quarter of an hour later, when Su Jiudong saw the scouts galloping back towards the camp on horseback, he knew that the guess in his heart had become a reality.
