Chapter 183: Proof
Qiu Peng was unmoved, pointed to the map in front of him and said: "If I were the commander of the other party, and now you have set up camp here, my first army must be placed on your retreat, just like playing chess, which means that you can't do anything." β
"This can't be! This can't be. Guan Da said stubbornly, shaking his head vigorously.
Qiu Peng had no choice but to say without moving: "If you have any doubts, we can do an experiment." However, it should be noted that if you do the verification, you may delay some time and miss the best time to escape. β
Guan Da laughed and said, "Can you prove such a ridiculous statement?" Okay, if you can prove you, let me kowtow to you." β
He Ping said cautiously: "Zixuan, how do you need to prove it, you say." β
Qiu Peng turned his head to look at Dou Jianhou, Dou Jianhou's expression nodded solemnly, Qiu Peng continued: "Now, if my expectations are correct, the back road of the Thunder Fire Hall should have been cut off at this moment, then, it should be time to close the siege." Tomorrow at the latest, as early as this evening, there will be a contingent of enemies passing through the nearby area. β
Qiu Peng traced the area around the map with his hand, "If the enemy's strength of 30,000 is calculated and evenly distributed among these areas, then we will send ten people and put a scout every five miles, so that we can reconnoiter the area within thirty miles distributed in a fan pattern, I dare say, in such an area, at least two soldiers of the opposing side will pass by, and each army will not be less than three hundred to five hundred people." β
Hearing Qiu Peng's words, Guan Da's god also became solemn, and said, "Okay, just do as you say." β
After saying that, Guan Da immediately sent several soldiers on the scene, arranged for them to wait in the corresponding positions, and told them to take cover, if they saw enemy people, do not alarm, hide in place, wait for the enemy soldiers to pass by, and come here to gather.
At this time, Qiu Peng called He Ping over and whispered a few words to He Ping, and everyone only saw He Ping nodding again and again. Then the two of them turned their heads and walked back, Qiu Peng pointed to the woods next to him, and continued: "The rest of us, let's go to the woods over there and wait for the news." β
It was a long night. It's completely different from the excitement and anticipation of arriving home last night. Everyone's hearts were heavy, panicked, and there was a sense of impending disaster.
About midnight, two gangsters who were reconnoitring from a distance drove back in a rage, and reported what they had seen: "A group of about five hundred enemy soldiers, dressed in neat armor and uniforms, had just passed a short distance. β
Upon receiving this news, the shocked Guan Da even forgot to let the other soldiers who were still reconnoissance in the distance come back, and his face was still as dark as a ball of black coal.
Qiu Peng waved his hand and asked the soldier to inform the remaining soldiers, took a deep breath, and said easily: "It's okay, everyone can light the torch,"
The torch was lit, but what came out was He Ping's pale face, "What should I do?"
Dou Jianhou and Guan Da came over sincerely together: "Brother Zixuan, what should we do now?"
Qiu Peng smiled and said, "We now have three paths to go. I divide it into three strategies: upper, middle and lower. β
At this time, Qiu Peng's repeated speculations had been verified, and all the soldiers and mercenaries present had a look of sincere admiration and trust in their eyes, and they pricked up their ears to listen to Qiu Peng's method.
"The first way is the best policy, we still have dry food on us, and we can hide here for three to five days, and I estimate that within three or five days, the matter should be settled. At that time, the wind and tranquility of the past must be restored here, and we will go to the Han Pass together at that time, although the property has been lost, but the life is still there. This is the best policy. β
Speaking of this, Qiu Peng sighed and said, "It's a pity that I know you definitely can't accept it. β
Guan Da said unhappily: "What kind of best strategy is this? Hide here, no matter if I win or lose when I go back, I will be dealt with by the gang rules." "Don't worry," Qiu Peng continued, "I still have a plan. Up to now, I believe that the enemy has not yet closed up, and if we go to Hanshu Pass overnight now, we should be safe and arrive at Hanshu Pass as long as we are more attentive along the way, drive quickly, and rush overnight. β
Qiu Peng sighed and continued: "Originally, this was the best policy, but unfortunately, in order to verify and win everyone's trust, it was delayed for half a night, and the danger increased greatly, so it was reduced to the middle policy." β
Guan Da said disappointedly, "What's the difference? In the end, I don't want to be dealt with by the gang for escaping on the battlefield?"
Qiu Peng said: "Wrong, think about it, now the Thunder Fire Hall is surrounded by the enemy, if you can go to the Han Clan Pass in time to ask for help, then not only will you not be dealt with by the gang, but you will make a great contribution." β
Dou Jianhou said: "What about the next step?"
Qiu Peng continued: "Is there a strategy? It's very simple, there is a distance of about thirty or forty miles from here to the camp of Sunset Mountain. The enemy encircled overnight, only to reach the predetermined location, and it will probably not be until dawn to truly complete the encirclement, and we will set out at once, following behind the enemy's encirclement force, so that we can have time to join the main army of the Thunder Fire Hall. β
He Ping was surprised and said, "Why is this a good idea?"
Qiu Peng sighed slightly and said, "I distinguish between the upper, middle and lower strategies, which are divided according to the danger of Cheng DΓΉ. You must know that money is something outside of the body, and if you really value life, you should never choose a strategy. Of course, if it is for the so-called wealth and danger, if you want to win fame and fortune, then the time is right! The next policy naturally becomes the best policy. β
The crowd was silent. Guan Da said: "Actually, this is a strategy, but it is not without a chance, if we can reach the camp before dawn, and notify the hall master of the Thunder Fire Hall in time, Chen Biting Jin, the hall master Chen Yanjin, can break through before dawn and get out of the enemy's encirclement before the enemy's long-range galloping encirclement force is really encircled." Or maybe you can turn a defeat into a win, but you don't have to have no chance, right?"
Qiu Peng nodded and admitted: "There is indeed such a possibility. β
Speaking of this, Guan Da turned his head to look at Dou Jianhou: "Then we have all made great contributions, maybe you will be absorbed into the Thunder Fire Hall without exception, and maybe you can also recover Boss Dou's goods, what do you say?"
Dou Jianhou thought to himself, these goods are related to my net worth and life, in order to do these goods, not only used all my savings, but also had financing from other people, if I can't get back these goods, even if I have the life to go back, I can only face the fate of losing my family's DNG property.
In desperation, Guanda's words seemed to be a life-saving straw, although it was only a slim hope, but he would rather follow this slim point. So he nodded in agreement.
The employer agreed, and the mercenaries naturally did not object, and they all expected that something good would really happen.
Qiu Peng saw that everyone agreed, so he had to nod helplessly. At this time, everyone came out of the woods, sorted out the vehicles, and found that everything was refueled and ready to go.
Dou Jianhou glanced back at He Ping in surprise, he already knew that He Ping was leading a few mercenaries to be busy just now, and he didn't know what he was doing, but now he knew that he was preparing to make a move. Could it be that he had long expected that they would use hovercars for long-distance galloping?
In my impression, He Ping seems to have never had this kind of talent?
Several mercenaries. I don't know when I'm waiting in front. A few miles further, another mercenary waited in front, reporting to He Ping the time and route of the enemy's cavalry.
Dou Jianhou was greatly impressed, and in the gallop, he quietly drove forward, came to He Ping's side and said, "Brother He, you can hide clumsiness." Now I know that you are actually a great general who strategizes and decides thousands of miles. Along the way, my old eyes were dizzy, and I didn't even see it. β
He Ping smiled awkwardly: "Why did Boss Dou say this?"
