Chapter 205: Don’t say it so bluntly
Ji Rentu was thoughtful when he heard Zhang Heng's words.
None of the soldiers in the camp dared to interrupt. After all, it was better to leave such strategic matters to the commander and staff for discussion. As a general, it is your duty to charge into battle, but sometimes you should do what you should do and take care of what you should take care of. This is a principle that every official and general knows.
"So according to what Mr. Xi said, the fighter plane has appeared at this time?" Ji Rentu asked with some confusion.
The middle-aged scribe nodded silently and said: "I wonder if General, have you ever paid attention to what General Yao said? According to what General Yao said, at noon today, nearly a hundred soldiers in Yinren Village were led by three strong warriors in the chivalry realm, and they attacked me near the border. Ride Confrontation.”
The bald man nodded slightly, obviously recalling what the young cavalry officer said.
Zhang Heng paused for a moment and continued: "However, have you noticed that Helian Tiexin was seriously injured at that time, but he still reprimanded one of the knights. According to General Yao Qi, that person was Zeng Zhao Feng, Yinrenfang's secret agent lurking in Tiexin Village. And those hundred or so men are not wearing coir raincoats and bamboo hats worn by strong men, nor are they the iron rope inner armor used to protect iron clothes."
At this point, Ji Rentu said tentatively: "Sir, do you mean that those soldiers are all newly surrendered soldiers from Tiexin Village?"
As soon as these words came out, all the soldiers in the tent began to whisper, but the middle-aged scribe still nodded.
At this time, Zhu Wen, who was wearing white armor, took a step forward, cupped his hands and said: "Mr. Zhang, you have always been the counselor of the county magistrate, and you are not proficient in our military affairs. Even though Mr. Zhang's reasoning just now is reasonable, it is not consistent." logic."
The middle-aged scribe raised the corner of his mouth slightly, cupped his hands and said, "Oh? Please ask General Zhu Qi to teach me."
"It is a common practice in the army that a newly surrendered general cannot go into battle immediately, not to mention that there is still an old master!" Zhu Wen said in a deep voice. All the surrounding soldiers nodded in agreement.
Ji Rentu obviously knew this common sense, but he didn't point it out in person because he wanted to see what the other party had to say.
"Oh? Then I have a question, and I would like to ask General Zhu Qi to clarify it." Zhang Heng bowed and said with a smile.
The white-armored young man thought to himself: How dare a scholar tell you what to do here with your grandpa Bing?
However, Zhu Wen straightened his back and said politely: "Sir, please speak."
"What if there are no soldiers available in the Yinren camp? What will happen to the newly surrendered soldiers?" The middle-aged scribe's words were like a warning bell, which shocked all the soldiers on the field into silence.
Without waiting for the young man in white armor to reply, Ji Rentu asked eagerly: "Sir, what do you mean? This Yinren Camp is an empty camp?"
Zhang Heng smiled and did not answer, but someone from the general in the tent said: "Our previous spies have investigated that the northern camp of Yinren is located on a hillside. There are more than thirty queues with flags flying behind the hillside, and There is smoke everywhere in the camp every day, it doesn’t look like an empty camp!”
Apparently Ji Rentu's spies had reported the situation nearby before they arrived.
The middle-aged scribe turned back and glanced at the soldiers, and asked in a deep voice: "Let me ask you, how many troops will be sent in total when our army comes to hunt?"
The man who had just retorted loudly replied: "Two thousand cavalry!"
"Then does the enemy know that we have two thousand?" the middle-aged scribe continued to ask.
The man scratched his head and muttered: "I must know this matter. After all, we had no intention of concealing our whereabouts."
"Haha, okay, then how many people do we estimate in Yinren's camp?" Zhang Heng continued to ask.
At this time, other generals followed suit and replied: "There must be more than 300 people in the thirty ranks!"
"In this case, let's put it into perspective, if our enemy has two thousand people, and we only have more than three hundred people in our hands. What will you do? Will you line up the formation in an upright manner like them, letting the other party know that we are here? Where?"
…
Ji Rentu's expression slowly turned ferocious, and the bald man gradually realized that things might really be as the middle-aged scribe said, and the camp in the northern part of Yinren Village might really be empty!
After all, Yinren Village raided Tiexin Village and breached Helian Fort a few days ago. Where did they come with so many armed forces to surround the northern border?
After all, Ji Rentu was a general of the first generation. Thinking of this, he could roughly guess the method Yinren Village used to successfully surprise Helian Fort and destroy it.
The bald man suddenly stood up and murmured in a low voice: "What a Yinren Village! What a borrowed knife to kill people! All soldiers obey the order! Set off immediately and attack the northern camp of Yinren Village!"
All the soldiers looked at each other, bowed and said in unison: "No!"
………………Dividing line………………
Yi Xifeng looked back at the northern camp that gradually disappeared from sight, feeling a little confused. Since you have successfully blocked the opponent's vanguard, why not pursue the victory and defeat Ji Rentu in one fell swoop?
However, the fair boy did not discuss these questions with his companions. After all, there are seven of them. Although they have good talents, they are still young. They can use their talents to explain martial arts, but the various forces and the marching and fighting are not skills that they can possess at this age.
As for discussing with Zhou Di, Zhang Yanshi and others, Yi Xifeng thought to himself that he was not that curious. After all, if the sky fell, there would be taller people holding it up. Besides, there are two cunning guys, Qingzhu and Zhao Feng. They are the only ones who can scheme against others, and it is really difficult for others to scheme against them.
"Senior, do you think they can raid our Beida camp? Can we evacuate now? Should we hold on a little longer?" Zhao Feng looked at the middle-aged mountain patrol in front of him and asked several questions in succession. .
Qingzhu smiled and said: "It's really hard to say this! But it's better to believe that it exists than to believe that it doesn't exist. If the enemy can't see it, that's better. Our retreat this time is not a retreat in defeat, but a strategic one." Transfer.”
"Strategic transfer?"
Zhao Feng touched his chin and said with a smile: "This is a good name! In the future, if I fight with someone, if I can't beat him, I will strategically shift."
The middle-aged man said helplessly: "What do you mean we can't defeat you? Don't say it so bluntly! It's not that we can't defeat you, it's just that we are outnumbered now. If we don't retreat, will we die?"
Zhao Feng immediately echoed like a chicken pecking at rice: "Yes, yes, you can't die! It's too stupid to die!" As he said that, the young man felt that he was at the front of the team and said to the soldiers: "Everyone, speed up, Captain Qingzhu said! Get to the vicinity of Liangchengang before dark and eat meat at night!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone cheered, and the speed of the group's advance was indeed much faster than before.
"You're calling this a false military order!" Qingzhu lowered his voice and yelled at Zhao Feng.
Fortunately, the surrounding soldiers were still immersed in the news just now, and only the two of them could hear the noise around them.
The handsome young man said nonchalantly: "What do you mean by falsely passing military orders? Don't say it so bluntly! I just want to inspire everyone. Didn't our Yinren Village just finish the martial arts competition? When we get to Liangchengang, why don't we get some pigs? That’s it?”
