The suppression of the Red Phoenix Army in Taiyuan City was still calm, but the Mongol army outside the city began to be restless. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Since yesterday, Yuan Ye has always obeyed the orders of the lord and has been monitoring the movements of the Mongolian army. Recently, he looked at the lifeless tent from a distance, but he felt a little curious. After all, according to the time, in the morning, the other party should start to make a fire to make food, so as not to go hungry.

But now that the sun is on the rise, the other party has never moved, which makes Yuan Ye very strange.

A soldier next to him poked him and asked, "Hey, why isn't there any movement there?"

"I don't know, let's take a look?" Yuan Ye opened his mouth and said, since he survived from the Mongolian army that day, because of his heroic performance in the defense of Taiyuan, he was promoted to squad leader, and he also brought several people with him.

Hearing this, the rest of the people were stunned and wondered: "But that's the Mongolian army, if you approach rashly, will you die?"

"It's just a bunch of barbarians, what's there to be afraid of?" Yuan Ye was a little impatient, and when he raised his hand, he raised the gun in his hand and shouted: "And I have just been awarded this gun, even if more than a dozen people from the other side rush over together, I am not afraid." No matter how bad it is, I will order others to use tiger squat cannons in the back to give you strength, okay?"

"In that case, let's go over here?"

Seeing the black and shiny gun, the group settled down in their hearts.

They had seen the power of this gun, but unfortunately the production of this gun was too small, and among the thirty-person squad in the entire Red Phoenix Army, only the captain, deputy captain, and those instructors who were given official positions were officially equipped with guns, and the rest of them used cold weapons such as captured plate armor, spears, bows and arrows as protection, this is the current situation within the Red Phoenix Army.

A standard combat team, equipped with ten guns, three tiger squat cannons, plus other spears, plate armor, shields, and bows and arrows, formed the core foundation of the entire army of the Red Phoenix Army.

And such a squad is completely capable of shaking a 100-strong Mongolian cavalry squad on a frontal battlefield.

After determining the basic tactical form, three men with shields in hand and strong armor walked slowly towards a Mongolian military camp in the distance. The air was a little stagnant, and they felt like they were being watched by wolves, trying to suppress the fear in their hearts, and they could only fasten the shields in front of them to avoid being killed by the sudden attack.

Soon, the three of them stepped into the defensive range of the Mongol military camp.

"Still haven't moved?"

Yuan Ye was stunned for a moment, and his heart was even more confused.

The imaginary attack did not exist, so what were the Mongols thinking?

Not far away, the three men were also stunned, they were afraid that the enemy would appear at this time, and they had already put the shield in front of them, but except for the sound of the wind, the tent camp in the distance still did not move. Tortured by this strange scene, they felt extremely confused, and immediately gestured to Yuan Ye behind them, which was looking for what to do next. Yuan Ye also replied and let this group of guys move on.

Seeing that the Mongols were not reacting, the three of them became emboldened, and immediately continued to approach the Mongol tent.

Soon, they came to the outside of the camp, but they were immediately stunned, only because in this camp, there was no one moving between each of the military tents, as if the people in it had suddenly disappeared.

Seeing a few people with strange expressions, Yuan Ye immediately stepped forward, and when he saw this strange scene, he was also stunned: "What's the matter, it really disappeared?" Looking at the tent next to him, he immediately stepped forward and lifted the curtain, but except for some discarded things, there was no trace of humanity.

With a blank look, Yuan Ye immediately ordered: "Search all the military camps for me immediately." ”

So all the soldiers walked in and opened the yurts, but there was no trace of them except for the leftover bones and broken porcelain dishes.

That is, this barracks was completely abandoned.

Yuan Ye felt strange and immediately reported this matter to his father-in-law.

"Retreated?"

Hearing the news, Xiao Feng was also confused.

At this critical time, if the Mongolian army retreated, she was naturally overjoyed, but if this retreat was a trick played by Shi Tianze, then she had to be cautious, so as not to be peeped out by the other party about her flaws, which would lead to extremely tragic consequences.

"That's right. My subordinates and I searched several nearby military camps and found that the soldiers inside had retreated. And the temperature inside the campfire hasn't completely dropped, so it should have retreated yesterday. Yuan Ye immediately told all the information he had gathered.

"In that case, what is the purpose of the other party?"

Xiao Feng pondered carefully, but he looked at Zhao Zhi, Yang Hui and others in the General Staff, if you want to guess the other party's movements at this time, you need to work together.

Zhao Zhi immediately replied: "In my opinion, it should be because the other party can't support it." ”

"How can this be said?" Xiao Feng's eyes moved, and he immediately stared at Zhao Zhi.

"It's simple. Our army is currently plagued by drought, and it is a miracle that the grain in the fields will not be harvested, and it will be a miracle whether the grain in hand can be sustained until the autumn. In this case, the other side should be the same as us, also affected by this high temperature, and was forced to withdraw the army in desperation. Seeing Xiao Feng like this, Zhao Zhi also opened his mouth to explain: "Of course, it is not ruled out that the other party's purpose is to create a trap so that we can fall into it."

"Even so, if the other party really retreats, then relieving the pressure on our Red Phoenix Army is also good news. Yang Hui added on the side.

Seeing that the two of them were answering each other, Xiao Feng was a little relieved: "Even so, what do you think should be done?"

In order to promote this staff in the Red Phoenix Army, she really wasted a lot of effort, not only transferred Zhang Shijie and Wang Yunde, who were most likely to pose a threat, but also gathered all the heroes, and carried out all kinds of battle situation reasoning day and night, and also wrote the combat tactics of how the squad dealt with the Mongolian cavalry, the application of guns and tiger squat cannons and captives, and even how soldiers should practice, etc., all of which were included in the staff and handed over to these young people for implementation.

And as it stands, the system can be described as a success.

"Although the other party began to retreat, we can't rest assured. The fort should be guarded in case the other side takes the opportunity to sneak attack. That Shi Tianze has designed several times, and he will be cheating, and he must guard against the other party. ”

"And the other side may take this opportunity to confuse us, so I think it is appropriate to send cavalry to conduct a large-scale search of the vicinity to make sure that the other side does not have the intention of attacking the city. ”

Zhao Zhi and Yang Hui said in unison, reassuring Xiao Feng at the moment, but one of them opened his mouth and said: "But what if the other party really retreats? Should we take the opportunity to attack? After all, this is a perfect opportunity for us to break the blockade of the other party, if we give up, I don't know when we will have another chance." ”

This person is called Qiu Lie, the son of a wealthy man in this Taiyuan city, because his family was killed by the Mongols in the defense of Taiyuan, so he joined the Red Phoenix Army in order to take revenge. Xiao Feng also wanted to appease a wealthy gentry in the city, so she arranged this person in the staff academy so as to attract more talents to join her Red Phoenix Army.

"If that's the case, then you should take advantage of the victory. After all, Shi Tianze has not been eradicated yet, and if he makes a comeback, it will be bad. Yang Hui immediately replied: "Monk He's matter is not far away, if you don't defeat this guy in one go, then my Red Phoenix Army will never have peace." ”

He had been by Zhang Shijie and Wang Yunde's side before, assisting the two to seize Fenzhou and Pingyang Mansion, because He and Shangba were completely annihilated, so those remaining generals did not resist much, and surrendered.

Zhao Zhi shook his head, a little hesitant: "No, that Shi Tianze has always been cunning, even if he retreats, he will definitely not let us attack, he will definitely be full of traps along the way, just waiting for us to attack." Moreover, our Red Phoenix Army is weak, if the door is opened wide because of this, allowing the other party to peek into our emptiness, then our army will definitely fall into a catastrophe from which it will never recover. ”

Since the Taiyuan Conservation War, he knew that the enemy he was facing was not very human, even his own lord was in danger of death, and even the former chief of the General Staff Li Zhi and others were sacrificed because of this, he really didn't dare to underestimate the veteran generals for many years, so as not to overturn in the gutter and completely bury the future of the Red Phoenix Army.

The dispute between the two immediately made everyone start arguing about whether they should pursue or not, and the whole hall was also full of noisy sounds, and the two of them had already stood up from their seats, arguing with each other, spitting stars flying wildly, and they almost spit on each other.

Xiao Feng listened on the side, and saw that Qiu Lie not far away looked distracted, and immediately asked, "Since this is the case, what is your opinion?"

"Me?"

This Qiu Lie was stunned for a moment, and there was still a little horror in his eyes.

"That's right, it's you. Xiao Feng bowed: "Since this is what you proposed, then you should also put forward your own opinions, right?" Raising the teacup next to her, she moistened her lips and tongue, and then commanded Zhao Zhi and Yang Hui: "And there is no end to the dispute between the two of you, why don't you sit down and have a cup of tea." ”

Zhao Zhi and Yang Hui immediately sat down and drank the tea that had just been brewed in front of them.

"In my opinion, since Shi Tianze is a famous general in the world, even if he retreats, he will definitely lay out many means to prevent himself from being attacked by others. Therefore, I think we should defend Taiyuan City and not continue to attack. Being stared at by Xiao Feng, Qiu Lie was even more nervous, and he stammered when he spoke.

"I see. In that case, let me convey my order and order the whole army to hold the fortress without relaxation. Also, Zhao Zhi and Yang Hui, the two of you led the Third Regiment of the First Brigade to attack, remember to retreat immediately once attacked, and you must not engage in a fierce battle with the other party, and be sure to find out the situation of the other party for me. Got it?" Xiao Fenghe saw that everyone was quiet, and immediately said his order.

"I see!"

Although they were full of dissatisfaction, since it was the lord's order, Zhao Zhi and Yang Hui had no choice but to retreat, preparing to dispatch troops and start arranging the next things.

After deciding on the next policy, the rest of the people dispersed and began to take charge of their own affairs.

Xiao Feng was about to leave, his eyes skimmed over the slightly withdrawn Qiu Lie, and immediately stopped him: "By the way, why were you so nervous just now?"

"It's only the first time I've seen the lord, so I'm a little timid, so I can't control my body. This Qiu Lie's body shook again, and he immediately replied in a low voice.

Xiao Feng's eyes were a little scrutinized, and he looked the guy in front of him up and down: "Is that so?"

In the general staff, most of them have followed her out since the incident, it can be said that they know the roots, and they are completely trustworthy, only the person in front of them is the first and only existence like an old man, and Xiao Feng is not enough if he is not a talent in the army, so he is not willing to let someone like Qiu Lie join in.

"No, that's right. ”

Qiu Lie was submissive and continued to reply, it seemed that because Xiao Feng's aura was too strong, he even bent down in fear, not daring to look at Xiao Feng.

Xiao Feng nodded, looking thoughtful, and then took a step to return to his bedroom. Looking at this scene, Qiu Lie also breathed a sigh of relief, and when he was about to step out, the familiar voice from behind sounded again.

"In that case, then tell me, why did you have a murderous aura before?"

The whole person froze in place, Qiu Lie's eyes were a little stunned, and then he whispered: "It's because of my father! My father was killed by those Tartars who broke into the city, so I want to avenge him." Speaking of his father, his fingers clenched, his nails immediately embedded in his muscles, and a few drops of blood splattered to the ground, revealing an ominous red.

"Father?"

"That's right!"

Hearing this, Xiao Feng immediately understood, sighed and said, "Alas. I didn't expect you to be a hard-working person. But don't be so enchanted in revenge that you forget who you are. After all, in addition to being your father's child, you are also a staff officer of the Red Phoenix Army, so don't let hatred fool your eyes. ”

"The good words of the Lord must be taken to heart. ”

turned around, Qiu Lie's waist was still hanging down, making it difficult to see his face clearly, but the teardrops splashed on the ground, only the voice was still quite ordinary, and it was not affected much.

Looking at this scene, Xiao Feng sighed: "Since this is the case, then you can withdraw it." ”

Hearing this, Qiu Lie immediately turned away, walking in a hurry, as if he had not yet come out of his previous sorrow. Xiao Feng has no way to deal with his situation, after all, there are not a few such existences in her Chifeng Army, if you think that the other party is a spy just because of the identity of the other party and the murderous aura that is accidentally revealed, it will be too ridiculous.

"I didn't expect me to start being suspicious, is this a suspicious criminal?"

Xiao Feng shook her head, and suddenly felt very tired, probably because she was too nervous before, she always unconsciously wondered if there were enemies lurking around, this kind of behavior even made her wonder if she was nervous, and she would actually have this association with her subordinates.

Back in the boudoir, Xiao Feng just wanted to rest and relieve his fatigue. (To be continued.) )
