But, what surprised everyone.
The figure that was thrown away like a broken sack was not Huo Ming, but Yan Shan!
Huo Ming stood there, staring blankly at the long knife with a gap in his hand, feeling a little dazed.
Then he looked at Yan Shan, who was lying on the ground like a dead body, unconscious, and became even more confused.
Feeling the pure and vast Qi in his body, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
When did you become so fierce?
wrong! Someone help me!
Huo Ming turned around suddenly and saw a handsome face with resolute features.
As the other party withdrew the hand on his back, the pure energy disappeared.
Huo Ming once again returned to his previous depressed state.
"Thank you!" Huo Ming cupped his hands and said solemnly.
Hearing this, Gu Beichuan nodded, and then shouted: "Old Li!"
boom!
A fiery figure like the noon sun descended from the sky and landed straight next to Yan Shan.
Click!
The next moment, Yan Shan's neck was broken and became Li Dongbi's trophy.
He raised his head high, his anger dropped from his Dantian, and his voice was as loud as thunder: "Your generals are dead, our reinforcements have arrived, and those who surrender will not be killed!"
Gu Beichuan thought that the matter would end here. After all, all the enemy defenders were killed by them in one blow.
But what he really didn't expect was that these fifteen hundred people with mysterious origins, instead of panicking and fleeing after hearing that their commander was killed, retreated in an organized manner.
Gu Beichuan looked at this scene and narrowed his eyes slightly.
With such qualities, this is by no means an ordinary army!
Where did Prince Yuan train from?
"Kill! Don't let them go!" Zhao Dong, who was already red-eyed, shouted sternly, as if he was determined to fight to the death.
Gu Beichuan held his chest, shook his head, and said, "Don't chase after poor bandits."
"Aren't you reinforcements sent by His Royal Highness? Now that we have the advantage, why can't we pursue them?" Zhao Dong asked.
When Gu Beichuan heard this, he felt a little helpless: "It's true that we are reinforcements, but this time it is not Fengzi Camp, but the elite of Kunzi Camp. The marching speed is not fast, not to mention that we encountered an ambush on the way and were delayed. A lot of time.”
"I sensed that something might happen to you, so I rushed here in advance."
Zhao Dong and Huo Ming were stunned when they heard this, and said in unison: "So, there are actually no reinforcements?"
"That's right." Gu Beichuan nodded.
Zhao Dong and Huo Ming were stunned, and then secretly sighed that this guy was really brave, and they dared to trek here alone.
"Pretend to pursue for a while, then retreat, find a place to recuperate, and deal with the blood stains. I have something to ask you." Gu Beichuan looked solemn.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Dong and Huo Ming nodded and began to organize their troops to pretend to attack and actually prepare to retreat.
…
After a while, Lang Yakou.
After temporarily scaring away the 1,500 people, this place became a temporary station for Gu Beichuan and others.
After all, this gap is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Even if those people leave and come back, they can easily hold it by virtue of the geographical advantage.
And as soon as Gu Beichuan's Eight Hundred Kun Character Battalion arrives and both sides join forces, they will naturally no longer be afraid.
"Did you find food in the granary?" Gu Beichuan asked in a deep voice.
Zhao Dong shook his head and looked a little miserable: "Let alone finding food, we didn't even enter the granary and were ambushed halfway."
When saying this, both Zhao Dong and Huo Ming felt somewhat ashamed.
The military order they received was to go to the nine granaries to search for food.
As a result, I didn't even finish reading any one of them, and I was almost wiped out.
It's really not that glorious to say it.
As expected, when Gu Beichuan heard this, he immediately frowned.
Without going to the granary, he could not give useful information, and Gu Beichuan could not judge whether there was food in the granary.
This is critical, because if it can be confirmed that there is no food in the granary.
Then they can just go directly to the homes of local households, but if there is still food in the granary, they will inevitably have to fight with those 1,500 people.
Moreover... Gu Beichuan had a hunch that these 1,500 people were not all King Yuan's manpower in Jiuyuan County, and the other party should have reinforcements.
Things are a little tricky.
Gu Beichuan shared his thoughts and wanted to hear the opinions of others.
Zhang Biao grinned while covering the wound on his abdomen: "Why is it so troublesome? Let's just divide the troops into two groups, go to the farmer's house openly and secretly, and go to the granary secretly. Wouldn't we get the best of both worlds?"
However, before Gu Beichuan could speak, Zhao Dong glared at him fiercely.
Huo Ming also shook his head and said, "No."
"The current situation is that the enemy is in darkness and we are in the clear. There are risks in making any decision. My suggestion is that whether you choose to go to the granary or search for local farmers, you should concentrate your forces."
"If we divide our troops, it will actually give the opponent an opportunity to defeat them one by one."
"It's not a good idea."
Zhang Biao curled his lips, but didn't care much.
His position as captain was obtained in exchange for his bravery when charging into battle.
As for brain-intensive tasks such as discussing strategies, he has never had a say.
I don’t mind being a backdrop for Huo Ming either.
On the contrary, Gu Beichuan looked at Huo Ming, his eyes brightening slightly.
When he rescued people just now, he only thought that Huo Ming was brave.
Now it seems that he still has good military qualities.
It's a descendant of the Huo family again... What a talent!
But now is not the time to dwell on this. Gu Beichuan pondered for a while and finally made a decision: "Abandon the granary and search for local farmers!"
After hearing this, everyone looked at each other. Zhao Dong and Huo Ming were hesitant to speak, but in the end they didn't say much.
In fact, they still felt that the granary was more secure. After all, if there was nothing in the granary, how could they be ambushed?
In comparison, the idea of hiding food in the homes of local farmers is a bit absurd.
However, Gu Beichuan had just saved everyone's life, and he was the one who proposed the idea, which meant that even if something went wrong, he should be the one to take the blame.
No one said much.
Gu Beichuan looked around and took in everyone's expressions. Without explaining much, he just said slowly: "I bet King Yuan is smart enough!"
Is King Gambling smart enough?
What's the idea?
Everyone was unconvinced.
"Save your strength. At three o'clock tonight, I will personally lead the troops to search for farmers in Yashan County!" Gu Beichuan gave the order.
After everyone heard this, they stopped talking and turned to conserving their physical strength and recuperating.
This operation was particularly important to them. After all, they had almost been wiped out before even seeing the granary.
This is a big mistake!
Now, it's a great opportunity for them to make meritorious deeds!
