Tubok's face was pale, and his scorching eyes were like hot coals roaming in front of Dubuk and Yan Tong, so hot that they couldn't help but hang their heads and clamp their legs tightly, ready to meet the leader's stormy reprimand.

"Third child, you can really do it, just like that, 13,000 people will be left for me and there will be less than 10,000 left, and Xifengkou has also fallen into the hands of others, you say, what the fuck are you for?!" Probably overly angry, Tubok was also a little speechless in the presence of outsiders.

"Big brother, this really doesn't blame us, who knew that the enemy had already occupied Xifengkou? Before leaving, didn't you tell us that the officers and troops were still entangled with Shentuhua's troops in Xiangshanji? Who would know that they would suddenly appear at Xifengkou?" Hanging his head and glancing at Tubok who was in a rage from time to time, Dubok still mustered up the courage to defend himself.

Tubok was stunned, and then he became even more angry: "When did I tell you? The situation on the battlefield changes three times a day, and as an army commander, won't you, as an army commander, analyze and consider that the situation will change? I see that your head is really blindfolded by lard!"

Yan Tong quietly leaned in to Dubuke, signaling him not to explain anymore, the leader is on fire, no matter how you explain it, he won't listen to it at this time, not to mention that this time he should have taken a considerable responsibility. Dubok also obediently closed his mouth and stopped talking

"And you, Yan Tong, Du Lao and the three were careless, so don't talk about it, why don't you have any defense, and you were caught off guard by others?" Tubok's tone towards Yan Tong was much more relaxed, after all, Yan Tong was not the main general, and he was able to save the main force, thanks to Yan Tong's quick decision.

"Great Chief, we were indeed a little negligent this time, I didn't expect the officers and soldiers to dare to march so far in such bad weather and rush ahead of us. We do have a great deal of responsibility to bear. "Yan Tong is neither humble nor arrogant and takes responsibility.

"That's it, even if it is about responsibility, it should be Du Laosan's responsibility, and I also have a certain responsibility, it seems that Li Wufeng's troops really live up to their reputation! We really have to be careful in the next step. Tubok's face softened slightly, "Second brother, what do you think we should do now?"

The short middle-aged man sitting on the left hand side unhurriedly stroked the short beard under his chin and cleared his throat: "The purpose of this army must be to drag us here, so that we can't take out to meet Shen Tuhua for a while, and their main force over there must also want to use this period of time to wipe out Shen Tuhua's troops, and the enemy has already seen through our purpose, so they will come here." I know the combat effectiveness of Shen Tuhua's troops, and even if they hold on, they won't be able to hold out for a few days, which is really tricky. ”

"Second brother, you don't have to go around in circles here, what should we do, you just say. "Tubok is getting impatient.

"According to my opinion," after a moment's hesitation, the short middle-aged man glanced at the young man on Tubok's right again, and then gritted his teeth and said: "Let's ignore Shentuhua, while the enemy's main force has not yet come up, first retreat north, out of the enemy's pursuit range, and then say, compared with the opponent's combat effectiveness, there is indeed a big gap between the combat effectiveness of our troops and the opponent's, and if we continue to entangle here, I am afraid that we will not be able to get out." ”

"What? Just leave? Jiang Han, I think you have also exaggerated the combat effectiveness of Li Wufeng's troops, aren't you frightened by the defeat of a skirmish? Even if the third leader of Du fought a defeat, it was a sneak attack by the other party, and this battle was insignificant. As you said, the enemy is just an interception force, their main force is still in the Xiangshanji area, as long as we concentrate our forces to quickly take the Xifeng Pass, we can completely meet with the Shentuhua troops, when the time comes, our forces far exceed them, even if we can't win, retreat, then it's not too late to retreat. The yin and yang voice came from the young man on the right hand of Tubok, who was very dissatisfied with the suggestion of the second leader, Jiang Han.

"Zhu Gongzi, I don't need to brag about the combat effectiveness of Li Wufeng's troops, I beat the main force of the Luobei people's iron cavalry twice, this is always a fact, underestimate the enemy, and the last one who will suffer must be himself, I, Jiang Han, have self-knowledge, how capable my subordinates are, I know better than you!" Jiang Han had long been unaccustomed to this guy who was pointing fingers in front of him, and at this time he was even more unceremoniously ridiculed.

Seeing that the two were about to argue, Tubok hurriedly stopped the two, "Okay, Zhu Gongzi, second child, let's not have any more infighting now, now that our troops are all pulled here, we just fled in disgrace, I'm afraid it can't be said, well, besides, how many troops the enemy occupies Xifeng Pass, we don't know yet." Third brother, you can be regarded as having a confrontation with the other party, how many troops does the other side have?"

"It seems that there are not many people, just four or five thousand people, but their combat effectiveness is really extraordinary. "Dubouk was very impressed with the combat effectiveness of the enemy.

"If there are only four or five thousand people, even if they are gods, we are not afraid, in this way, we are still sure. When Tubok heard that there were only four or five thousand people on the other side, he felt much more at ease, and immediately made a decision, "Third brother, you put your troops in order, Gao, Zeppelin, you two bring your troops to cooperate with Dubok's troops, and prepare immediately."

Attack Xifengkou, and you must take Xifengkou before dark tomorrow!"

"Wait, boss, I don't think the enemy can send just four or five thousand men to stop us. We also have nearly 40,000 troops, the enemy must know our strength, although our combat effectiveness is not as good as theirs, but these four or five thousand people to deal with us, it is too outrageous, I think the third will be their striker?" When he heard Dubok say that the other party only had four or five thousand people, Jiang Han beat a drum in his heart, this is absolutely impossible, the other party's plan is so tightly arranged, how can there be only a few thousand people, and hurriedly spoke out to stop it.

When Tubok heard Jiang Han's words, he couldn't help but hesitate again, Jiang Han has always been the brain trust of this army, and the reason why his troops have been able to develop to this point is inseparable from Jiang Han's careful planning.

The young man sitting next to him on the right side was a little hesitant when he saw Tuboke, and immediately cheered him up: "Boss Tu, according to our intelligence, the total number of troops sent by Li Wufeng to Bonan this time is only 50,000, and now the 30,000 people of Shentuhua are stationed in Xiangshanji, if they want to eat these 30,000 people, they must leave at least 40,000 people, so how many troops can come here?" At best, there are no more than 10,000 people, and we still have 35,000 people in our hands, and Xifengkou is not a dangerous checkpoint that cannot be opened by one man, so will it not be able to overcome it? Then your combat effectiveness is not too sparse!"

The young man surnamed Zhu made an incisive analysis and encouraged the generals, and even Jiang Han had to think that he did have a very strong incitement surname, and finally dispelled Tubok's concerns, but for the sake of insurance, Tubok still made supplementary arrangements: "Second brother, you also bring 5,000 men and horses as a reserve team to follow behind, and I will bring the other horses to arrive later." ”

Jiang Han, who was sitting in the tent, always felt a little uneasy, maybe the battle situation during the day was too depressing, Dubuk was killed, Yan Tong's whereabouts are unknown, and the entire forward force can be said to be exhausted, and now only the troops of the Chinese army Gao Gao and Zeppelin are still intact and are on the front line. What is it to talk about conquering Xifengkou, and it is a blessing to be able to escape from the enemy's pursuit safely. cough in such a situation, there dare to retreat casually, once the army is unstable, the enemy takes the opportunity to attack, and the only outcome is the annihilation of the whole army.

The oil lamps flickered on and off, and the shadows that illuminated everything in the tent became more and more dim. Recalling that in the short two or three years since he joined Tubok's command, he has grown from an underworld organization to a rebel army, from a few hundred to tens of thousands, and the expansion of his power is not unpleasant, but the rapid expansion of his strength has also brought many evil consequences, such as chaotic military discipline, lack of necessary training in the troops, low combat effectiveness, extreme lack of logistical materials, and no stable logistical support, relying entirely on looting as a supply, and this is probably the biggest weakness of the rebel army.

"The second leader, the high leader, and the Zeppelin leader, beg to meet!" came the voice of a sentry outside the tent.

"Let them in!"

Jiang Han was a little puzzled, these two people were not guarding in the position of their own troops, what were they doing here at this time? Gao Gao was a native of Bonan, it should be said that he had joined the Tubok organization for a longer time than himself, and he had been in contact with him several times, and he was quite shrewd and sleek, and he was a rare talent in the chaotic army in terms of talent, so he took the position of leader before he was thirty years old. Zeppelin had only recently joined the rebel army, but he was quite talented in military affairs, and the combat effectiveness of his unit had improved rapidly, and he was one of the ace troops under Tubok, and he won the trust of Tubok, and in a few months he was promoted from a captain of a hundred to the commander of a force of 4,000 men.

"I've seen the second leader!"

"Your own brother, you're welcome. Jiang Han hurriedly beckoned the two to take their seats.

Gao glanced at Zeppelin, saw that the other party nodded slightly, and coughed lightly, "Second leader, the Ming people don't do dark things, I and the leader of Qi are here to tell you that Brother Berlin and I have led our troops to surrender the official army, and the official army has been stationed in our position, and has already marched east through here." ”

Just a few words were like a thunderbolt on a sunny day that stunned Jiang Han there, and he couldn't make a sound for a long time, "I see, so it is, no wonder it's ''''''" It took a long time for Jiang Han to spit out a few words or two. No wonder Dubuk's army collapsed so quickly, no wonder the other side did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, it turned out that they had already been confident.

"Tubok treats you well, why are you ''''''?" Jiang Han's voice was low, as if it was coming from the ground.

There was not the slightest shame on the faces of the two of them, "Don't hide it from the second leader, I am a disciple of the Snow Mountain, and Brother Berlin used to be an officer under the command of Lord Li Wufeng. Gao replied calmly.

"What do you want?" Jiang Han raised his eyes tiredly and stared at the two.
