The rain was heavy at night and the wind was even stronger.
As successful as Qiu Cheng's troops were in Nanyu County, they were in a mess in Beishang County. As the remaining soldiers gathered, the Ninth Rank Fifth Doctor made a rough count, his face darker than the night. His cheeks were tense, his eyes seemed calm and indifferent, but in fact, even the tips of his carefully trimmed beard trembled with his breathing.
He was in a bad mood.
Very, very, very bad.
Under the cover of darkness, the remaining soldiers waited in a secluded wasteland to regroup. Fortunately, the enemy did not pursue them, otherwise, with the current demoralized army, they would be in great danger. The ninth-rank fifth-rank doctor sat on a bare stone with a golden sword.
No matter the wind or rain.
Not long after, another person came with his troops to join them.
This man was covered in bruises.
The rain washed away the blood from his wounds, and soon new blood flowed out. He didn't have many wounds, the most obvious one was the cut on his right arm. Looking closely, wasn't he the brave warrior who fought with Bai Su
"Where's Lao Tian?" He strode forward, his heavy feet splashing mud and water wherever he stepped, making a clattering sound, and a lot of it even splashed onto his skirt armor, but he didn't care and asked directly, "Why can't I see Lao Tian?"
The ninth-rank fifth doctor had a fierce look on his face.
There was a hint of unrelieved hatred in his tone.
He said viciously: "Old Tian's head has been chopped off."
This answer surprised the visitor.
It seems that this result was not expected.
The Lao Tian they were talking about was the seventh-rank official beheaded by Gong Shuwu. Although seventh-rank officials were not rare among brave warriors, who wouldn't feel sad to see one of them killed, especially a veteran with rich military experience
Old Tian has a good relationship with the two of them in private.
How could I bear hearing this news
He didn't believe it: "How could Old Tian be so easy..."
Old Tian is the most cunning person.
If he really was defeated, he wouldn't force it.
Even if you can't defeat the enemy, you won't die.
The Ninth Rank Fifth Doctor had a gloomy face, threw his helmet to the ground fiercely, and said sternly: "Easy? Do you know who the enemy is? An Eleventh Rank Right Shuchang whose aura is extremely close to that of a Twelfth Rank Zuo Geng! I estimate that he is only one chance away from a breakthrough..."
Would it be difficult to kill a seventh-rank official
The other party also has a scholar of literary talent by his side.
If he hadn't chosen to retreat by taking advantage of the opportunity that Lao Tian had won, he would have been kept by the other party even if he had delayed for a moment. When he thought of the face he saw through the rain curtain, he felt scared. The other party looked at him not as if he was looking at a living person, but as if he was looking at a dead person.
"... This time... we underestimated the enemy..." The brave warrior who fought with Bai Su heard that his opponent was the eleventh-rank right minister. Although he felt sorry for Lao Tian's death, he could only accept the reality, "This is probably Lao Tian's fate, you don't have to..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the furious Ninth Rank Fifth Doctor. He was like a completely enraged and violent beast, his eyes were bloodshot, bloodshot eyes were full of bloodshot, and he opened his mouth and blew out hot air: "What fate? This is clearly someone's inaction!"
The intelligence deviates from reality by more than a little.
Do you expect to win a war with such intelligence
If we could get the approximate data of the real strength of Shen Tang's troops, the troops that attacked Beishang County would not be limited to tonight. There are mid-level and high-level warriors serving under Qiu Cheng. If any of them came out, even if there was still no gain tonight, they would not be beaten to pieces and retreat in embarrassment. Not only did they not gain any benefit, but they also gave military merits to others for nothing.
For a brave warrior, being beheaded is a great humiliation. The thought of this made the ninth-rank fifth-rank doctor very angry. The general who fought with Bai Su also remembered this after being reminded, and his face darkened...
Who is responsible for the investigation
The daughter of the Miao family.
To be more precise, she is the lord's concubine.
From proposing the attack on Nanyu County to planning the attack on Beishang County, she was basically responsible for everything. Because she was born in the Miao family, one of the wealthy families in Longwu County, and her family mainly managed Nanyu and Beishang, her understanding of the two places was unmatched by outsiders.
At first, no one believed her, but the great victory of the Nanyu County delegation proved her ability. In addition, her scholarly way, which had little lethality but was a powerful weapon on the battlefield, gave her more power in the Beishang County operation.
Just then, a voice was heard.
“Who are you saying is inactive?”
As soon as I heard the voice I knew it was a woman.
Miao Shu stood in the rain, looking at the two of them coldly.
If she wanted to maximize her ability as a scholar and ensure the timeliness of battlefield information, she also participated in the operation this time. However, she had not had enough time to concentrate her literary mind and did not have much literary energy. She could only barely maintain her ability as a scholar and find out the distribution of troops in the camp.
I can't spare any extra attention to do anything else.
Even so, it was very exhausting, her face was pale, and she was furious when she heard the two slandering her. While she was angry, she couldn't help but feel wronged. In the end, she bit her lips with her teeth and swallowed all her emotions back into her stomach.
"Hmph, how many of the news you gave me are true?"
Miao Shu clenched her fists in her sleeves.
Gritting teeth: "Rainwater cannot penetrate the granary tent..."
She could only use the scribe's way to find out the people and objects covered by the rain. There would definitely be a deviation in the number of people, but she didn't expect that there would be ambushes hiding from the beginning waiting for them to take the bait. The actual number of people was more than double the number of troops detected...
Among them was Gong Shuwu.
It was obvious that Shen Tang came prepared.
“Haha, isn’t this an excuse?” The Ninth Rank Fifth Doctor looked at Miao Shu coldly. He wanted to vent his anger but he took into consideration that she was his lord’s woman and it was not his turn to scold or beat her. If it was a colleague, he would have just used his fists with his violent temper. He could only say a few disgusting words, “If you don’t have the ability, don’t force it, lest you become a laughing stock for eternity and kill someone… Humph!”
These words were like cold water poured over Miao Shu's head.
Her face turned red with anger and her whole body trembled uncontrollably.
"In that case, aren't you also making excuses?"
Seeing that the two seemed to be about to quarrel, the other person had to raise his hand to stop them and act as a peacemaker: "Now is not the time to argue about this. We should retreat first and meet up with the lord and others. We must let the lord know about this as soon as possible..."
Know what
He knows that his neighbor is not a sheep but a wolf.
Judging from Shen Tang's attitude, it is obvious that he will not tolerate the matter of Nanyu County. He might even raise an army to collect the debt as soon as the autumn harvest is over.
After hearing this, the two of them calmed down a little.
The remaining troops were reorganized and gathered together, and retreated quietly under the cover of the night and the wind and rain. However, the Ninth Grade Fifth Doctor gave up the route in the plan and changed to another one. Miao Shu said coldly: "I'm afraid this route is not appropriate..."
"How is it inappropriate?"
Miao Shu suppressed her anger and said, "I'm afraid there might be an ambush."
The Ninth Rank Fifth Doctor could not tolerate any rebuttal: "The original route is more dangerous, more easily blocked by rain and exploration, and more likely to be ambushed. Since we know Shen Youli is well prepared, wouldn't it be a trap to choose that route?"
On the contrary, he chose a broader path.
The ambushers could not use the natural terrain to avoid the rain.
At the moment, it is safer.
