But at this time, no one dared to speak nonsense, even Ning Hu remained silent.
Because everyone is aware of a more serious problem, that is Jing Qianying. As the core figure of this war, if Jing Qianying follows the expedition brigade and attacks the northern line of Ezhou, then he must have been targeted by the Eagle Brigade at this time. On.
The reality is that this possibility is extremely high.
After all, Beidi has the home field advantage and is better informed. The Eagle Brigade is heading towards the Expeditionary Brigade. In addition to strategic reasons, the more important reason is probably for Jing Qianying.
At this moment, Qin Feng wished he could spread his wings and fly directly to Ezhou to personally command the battle.
When the information was blocked before and he knew nothing about the battlefield, Qin Feng was anxious. Now that he finally got some information, he became even more anxious.
I don't know what the situation is in Ezhou now. Without direct and accurate information, even if Qin Feng is anxious, he can't make corresponding arrangements. If he blindly directs with his eyes closed, it will be counterproductive.
"Xu Mo, it's up to you, don't let me down." Qin Feng whispered, having already bet all his wealth and life on Xu Mo.
At this time, Ezhou was littered with corpses, and the battle between the Beixi Expeditionary Brigade and the Eagle Brigade entered a fever pitch from the moment it began.
Xu Mo stayed on guard and did not dare to relax for a moment, because he knew very well that Qin Feng could not afford to lose this winter war no matter what.
Once defeated, the situation in the world will inevitably reverse.
Not to mention that Sangzhou will be recovered by Beidi, the northern border of Daliang will also be threatened. Without this buffer zone, Daliang will have to send heavy troops to guard the northern border, and the crusade against the wealthy families in the southern border will be extended indefinitely.
The most critical point is that Qin Feng and all the people trapped in Changshui County will definitely die without a burial place.
This battle affects the whole body!
Xu Mo didn't hold anything back and used all his talents to the extreme. While listening to the messenger's report, he judged the situation.
"General, the brothers of the Third Battalion and the Five Elements were surrounded by enemy forces and were unable to break through. All of them, including the goalkeeper, have been killed."
"General, the enemy is trying to encircle our left wing. The guerrilla colonel asked how to respond."
"General, two thousand infantry on the right wing are cooperating with the cavalry to fight the enemy. The situation is not good for me."
"General..."
All the military information coming back from the front line was unfavorable to me. Chen Si frowned and his head was running fast, thinking about countermeasures.
The Expeditionary Brigade, which was supposed to be the most adept at field combat, was forced to this point by the enemy. It seemed that the Eagle Brigade was ready for a bloody battle.
Elites versus elites, when the numbers are not much different, it is unrealistic to defeat the enemy or destroy the enemy on a large scale.
In addition, the opponent has already begun to fight tooth and nail. If he continues to fight, it will be extremely detrimental to his side.
After all, the Eagle Brigade can retreat directly if it is broken up, and the Expeditionary Brigade is also responsible for breaking through the Ezhou defense line. If it cannot achieve a quick victory and falls into a fierce battle, it will definitely affect Qin Feng's entire strategic deployment.
The best way now is actually to recall all the troops and concentrate their strength to make the enemy afraid and not dare to attack easily.
But this method is too risky. Once the troops are assembled, if the enemy also concentrates its forces to launch a general attack, then the war of attrition will become a battle to the death, and the casualties will only be greater.
Moreover, Chen Si's army will definitely arrive before the Qingqi reinforcements.
After much thought, Xu Mo could only choose to retreat.
"Pass my order to leave three battalions behind and continue to deal with the enemy. The main force will retreat south."
Upon hearing Xu Mo's retreat order, Jing Qianying stopped him immediately.
"General Xu, if you retreat now, won't it affect Feng'er's deployment? The prince once said that Feng'er's goal is to defeat Ezhou's defense line quickly."
"We finally got here. If we retreat now and charge forward again, we will waste a lot of time."
Although the opponent was Jing Qianying, Xu Mo remained resolute: "Miss Third, our most important task now is no longer to break through the enemy's defense line."
"From the moment the Eagle Brigade appeared, the battle situation has changed. What we should do most now is to preserve our strength and seek another fight."
"If we insist on holding on to this meaningless position, not to mention whether we can defeat the Eagle Brigade, even if we are defeated, we will definitely kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred, and we will no longer be able to attack the defense line of Chen Si's men."
"At that time, the main attack will change hands, and the main force in the rear will be responsible. And the main force will definitely be involved in a fierce battle with Chen Si, and it will be difficult to decide quickly."
"You are the core of this war, and the expeditionary brigade is the sharp knife on the battlefield. Both are indispensable."
Although Jing Qianying was a little tangled in her heart, she was obviously so close to Qin Feng, and she only needed to touch the door to see Qin Feng.
But seeing Xu Mo's resolute attitude, Jing Qianying had no choice but to retreat.
She looked at the north and couldn't help but sigh: "Feng'er, just wait and hold on, we will meet again soon."
"If Changshui County falls, I will never live alone."
Hearing Jing Qianying's words, Xu Mo ordered the mobilization of troops and organized a retreat while comforting him.
"Fourth Miss, you don't have to be too nervous. Instead of worrying about Brother Qin, we should worry about ourselves first."
"According to the Jin Yiwei's report, there are still a large number of troops gathered around Changshui County, which means that Changshui County has not been lost yet."
"And during this period, there were no large-scale military mobilizations or rapid logistics transportation near Changshui County, indicating that there was no further siege."
"I estimate that Changshui County is already impregnable. The enemy has broken their teeth and no longer dares to attack easily."
If these words were spoken by others, Jing Qianying would only take them as comfort, but when they came from Xu Mo's mouth, it would have a different flavor.
After all, Xu Mo is a general that Qin Feng has devoted countless efforts to cultivate, and he is the undoubted leader of Beixi County.
Xu Mo's judgment on the war ahead must be extremely accurate.
Realizing that Qin Feng would not be in danger of his life in the short term, Jing Qianying's heart dropped. He no longer hesitated and immediately followed Xu Mo to retreat to the south.
Since the Expeditionary Brigade still had a large number of troops scattered outside, the Eagle Brigade attacked them separately. When Xu Mo led the main force to withdraw south, the Eagle Brigade was unable to stop the attack.
When Wu Kang learned that the expeditionary brigade had begun to withdraw southward, he was shocked. Even he could not have expected that the extremely elite expeditionary brigade would be so decisive when retreating.
Wu Kang couldn't help but sigh: "As expected of Qin Feng's right-hand man, he is so decisive and has not been dazzled by the elite advantage of the expeditionary brigade. If it were another general, he would definitely fight head-on and never give in."
