Chapter 499: Exhausted to the End
"Brother, the counterattack of the Feng Qi army is becoming more and more orderly, we have nothing to take advantage of, let's withdraw?"
"I think it's about the same, you and Hope withdraw first, and I'll give you the queen!"
"Brother, have you forgotten what you promised me when you came out?
"It's so troublesome to fight with you! I'll leave with Hope first, and you'll have to teach us a good lesson to this group of Fengqi bandits!"
"Just take a look!" Seeing Diarra and Hope away, Li Zijun took out the few magic scrolls he had made last night from his arms.
Li Zijun looked at the 'Feng Qi elites' who were charging at him and smiled slightly, and then he threw the magic scroll in his hand out one by one.
"Boom, boom!" With a few loud bangs, Feng Qi, the elite team that had just been formed, suffered a heavy blow under such a magical attack.
After Li Zijun ordered people to light the camp gate full of debris and poured fire oil, he led the soldiers around him to leave.
Looking at Li Zijun who gradually disappeared into the night, Aubrey hesitated again and again, and finally gave up the idea of pursuit.
Not long after Aubrey returned to the Chinese tent, Yarlin also rushed back in a rage.
"Is the loss of the rear camp big, how about the grain and grass?" Seeing Yarlin's expression, Aubrey couldn't help but be shocked, and asked in a low voice.
"Back to the deputy marshal, the number of people in the camp after the sneak attack was not large, they only set fire to one granary, and due to the timely discovery and rescue, this granary did not suffer much loss. ”
"Comparatively speaking, the losses in the camp were a little higher, and the back camp had nearly a quarter of the camp. All have been damaged by different Cheng dù. Seeing that Aubrey had misunderstood what he meant, Arrin hurried forward and reported carefully.
"What about casualties?"
"The number of casualties should be around a hundred. It's not much of a loss. ”
"And what are you?" Hearing Arrin say this, Aubrey became more and more confused as to why he was the way he was. I couldn't help but ask with a frown.
"Little one," Arrin was about to explain why he was the way he was, when there was a knock on the tent door, and another man rushed in from outside, indignantly.
"Yarlin, don't tell Lao Tzu behind your back, if you have anything to say, let's say it in front of the deputy marshal. I'm going to ask the lieutenant to give me a critique, what am I doing wrong?" the man had been babbling on and on since he had entered the account, and Aubrey looked at it to see that this man was none other than his subordinate Gülen, who was in charge of taking care of the grain and grass.
"Lieutenant Marshal, you should tell me. After the attack on the rear camp, what was wrong with me doing my best to protect the grain and grass? Why did I become passive and slack off when I got to Yarlin?"
"Gülen, you have 2,500 soldiers and horses, but you sit and watch dozens of people set fire and destroy them everywhere, this is not a passive slack, what is this?"
"Yarlin, don't forget your identity! No matter how bad Lao Tzu is, he is also a willing deputy general under the deputy marshal's account. Why do you call Lao Tzu by his name?"
"Besides, what's wrong with Lao Tzu protecting grain and grass? You said there were only a few dozen of them. How do you know if there's anyone out there to answer them, and what if someone rushes in once I order the whole army to surround them?"
"If they set the granaries on fire, who will bear such a big responsibility? Don't say that you have already disappeared by then, even if you have the courage to stand up. How many days can you eat for an army with your small body?"
"When did I want your whole army to surround them? As long as you send 500 men to intercept those men in black, they won't burn down so many of our tents! And what?" Seeing that Aubrey did not stop himself, Arrin continued to sneer at Gülen.
"Alright, alright!" Aubrey probably understood the reason for the argument between the two. It's nothing more than that Gülen only cares about food and grass, and does not effectively control the actions of the people in black. caused a lot of damage to the man in black.
"Yarlin, don't say any more! General Gülen is right in this matter! His task is to protect the grain and grass, and in the face of the enemy's sudden sneak attack, he has nothing to blame for doing so!" Aubrey also knew that he was biased in saying this, but in this special period, he must ensure that the whole battalion of soldiers work together. In desperation, he had to grieve Yarlin!
"Glenn, how are the men in black doing now?" Aubrey asked Gülen after reprimanding Arlin.
"Back to the deputy marshal, with the joint efforts of me and Yarlin, the group of men in black has also been hit hard. It was only because I cared about food and grass that I could not completely block their retreat, so that the remnants of them escaped from the barracks at night. And ask the lieutenant to punish him?" Gülen looked at Yarlin and smiled coldly, and bowed down to ask Aubrey for guilt.
"You" Arrin tried to argue something, but under Aubrey's stern gaze, he finally swallowed the words back.
"The general was able to keep our grain and grass in such a chaotic situation, not only without fault, but also with merit! I will write this down for the general, and when I see Marshal Victo, I will definitely ask for credit for the general!"
"Vice Marshal Xie!"
"There's still some things to take care of over there, so I won't bother the lieutenant here!" Gülen had already achieved his goal, and after taking his own initiative to say goodbye to Aubrey, he turned and left.
"Lieutenant Marshal!" Looking at Gülen's triumphant look when he left, Yarlin couldn't help it.
"Shut up! Let you go and destroy the Man in Black, why did you quarrel with Gülen?"
"Deputy Marshal, you didn't see the scene at that time, it's really infuriating! The man in black was wantonly destroying in the camp, but Gülen was standing still there, and he didn't mean to contain the man in black at all, he simply turned a deaf ear to the man in black!"
"When the man in black saw us, he didn't bother us too much, and almost immediately began to retreat. Just imagine, if Gülen had dealt with the man in black earlier, the situation in our rear camp would not have been as bad as it has been now. ”
"Although the man in black was slashed by us, it was far from the point where Gülen said he was 'badly wounded'. He didn't send a single soldier to help us, and he just said that in order to take the credit for us!" Arrin told all the situation in the rear camp in one breath.
"This matter is over here, don't mention it to outsiders again! In any case, after all, Gülen has kept our grain and grass, and on this basis, it is also appropriate to ask for credit for him!"
"At present, the most important thing for us is unity! Only if we are united, we will have a greater chance of winning in the next battle!"
"Lieutenant Marshal, I understand! How is the battle at the front camp gate?" Yarlin also understood Aubrey's difficulty at this time, nodded slightly, and casually changed the topic.
"Diarra and the man are gone, but Gris has lost two fingers!Go and see him, he lost both fingers for you!" Hearing Yarrin ask about the situation at the front of the camp, Aubrey immediately felt a deep tiredness rise in his heart.
"Okay, I'm a little tired, you go down. Aubrey waved his hand to Arrin with a tired expression.
"Deputy marshal, can you build a small one?"
"I'll talk about it tomorrow, I'm really tired!" said Aubrey as he stood up, turning to return to his bedchamber.
"It's too late to talk about this tomorrow!"
"What's so urgent? Can't you wait for hours?!" Aubrey frowned impatiently.
"Little think: you should assign a team to pursue Diarra and his gang now!"
"Why? You were a strong opponent of the division of troops just now, why did you change your mind now?" said Aubrey with a puzzled face when he heard Arlin's proposal.
"The reason why the little ones were against it before was because they were afraid that we would fall into the trap set by that person. Now that they've withdrawn from the battle, their trap should be removed by now. They have just won a small victory at the moment, and they are bound to relax mentally, so we just took this opportunity to give them a hard time!"
"Even if the outcome is not so good, we can find a way to remedy it, so that you can better explain to Marshal Victo!"
Hearing this, Aubrey fully understood what Yarlin meant: it would be best if the pursuit team could give Li Zijun a stick, but it really didn't work, and he could also get some civilians to make up the numbers. In this way, Aubrey was able to maximize the negative impact he caused in the first game with Victor.
To be honest, Aubrey was a little impressed by Yarlin's 'fake' idea, but he thought about it and dispelled it.
After this period of contact with Victor, Aubrey discovered that 'Victor' was not only a very shrewd person, but also had an extremely powerful intelligence team behind him to serve him.
On the surface, Victor was 'ignorant' or even 'blind' to the deception of some generals. In fact, he knows almost everything!
The reason why he made this choice was purely to make the generals rally around him and win this great battle that would probably decide the life and death of the Aojin Empire. And then establish his absolute prestige as the heir in the Fengqi Empire!
Once Victor achieves this goal, it will inevitably be time for him to 'counterattack backwards'.
Aubrey has already seen this, although he doesn't have to worry about being too much of an impact at this level, he doesn't want to leave Victor with the impression of 'bullying and concealing his subordinates' and being marginalized in the future!
As for the so-called pursuit of Diarra and Edlaide, that was something that Aubrey did not even want to think about! He had already made up his mind to fight Edlaide without dividing his troops.
Aubrey knows very well that as long as he is not greedy, does not rush forward, and does not divide his troops, it is difficult to do anything to Edlaide with the strength he has now. He made up his mind and spent it with Edlaide to the end!(To be continued......
