The general who led troops to retreat from the outpost without permission was called to the camp by Wu Siyuan. Judging from his nonchalant look, he seemed to be very confident.
"Who is he brewing? How confident is he to return it without a fight?" Lei Er simply couldn't believe it.
In his opinion, such a person does not need to be recalled to the camp for questioning. It would not be too much to just push him out and behead him.
Yi Road, Luopo Camp.
In the Yuanning Mountains in May, everything was as cold as water, but there was an unspeakable anxiety in Wu Siyuan's tent.
He pulled on the armor on his chest, biting his teeth again and again as he watched Jin Yongge in front of him, and finally sighed silently.
"No wonder there is an old saying in Yun Chui that people can't help themselves in the world."
Wu Siyuan also wanted to kill Jin Yongge who retreated without authorization to show his military power. However, after careful consideration, he silently endured it.
"General Jin, I will give you a chance. Before the Japanese pirates can gain a foothold, immediately lead troops to recapture the outpost."
"Otherwise," Wu Siyuan pointed to the west, "just go back to the capital."
Jin Yongge's face looked very ugly.
It was a sleepy day and the mountains were deserted. He didn't even dare to leave the camp, let alone lead his troops to regain the lost position.
It's just that after arriving at the Yuanning Mountains, he hasn't made any decent achievements yet. If Wu Siyuan drives him back to the capital at this time, it will be extremely embarrassing.
"General Wu, there are so many Japanese pirates and it's getting late. It's not conducive to fight if you can't see anything. Why don't we all go out together tomorrow..."
"There is strength in numbers?" Wu Siyuan interrupted him with a loud shout, "How dare you say this!"
"Jin Yongge, don't you know how many men you have? The Japanese pirates only sent 5,000 men for a tentative attack, and there were no reinforcements behind them. You actually made a hasty contact and ran back with your team!"
"Who gave you the courage?"
Jin Yongge snorted, "General Wu, what you said is wrong."
"The Japanese pirates have no reinforcements now, but that doesn't mean they won't have reinforcements in the future. The main responsibility of the outpost is to detect the enemy's situation as early as possible. Now that the task has been completed, why don't you withdraw it and leave it there to die?"
Wu Siyuan was stunned, "There are three thousand people in the outpost. Who told you that its duty is to retreat as soon as it detects the enemy? That is the first line of defense on the post road."
"That's right." Jin Yongge nodded, "Three thousand against five thousand, we are outnumbered. In order to save the lives of the three thousand soldiers, I did not make unnecessary sacrifices, so I led them back. Is there anything wrong?
?”
Wu Siyuan's face turned red with anger. He put his hand on the sword and almost pulled it out.
"We can retreat when the enemy is outnumbered?" He pointed bitterly to the south, "Did you know that they are currently reclaiming wasteland and growing food on the three major offshore islands?"
Jin Yongge blinked.
He really just found out about this.
"When the Japanese pirates have enough food base, we will not only face 5,000 people who are hungry and tentatively attacking, but 50,000 or even 100,000 or 200,000 people who are well fed and drunk."
"When the time comes, can we keep retreating, to the capital or to the Yunchui border?"
Jin Yongge's face turned red and white, but he was very unconvinced.
"General Wu, I have always been good at defending the city. But you asked me to guard the unobstructed outpost, which is difficult for me. Now that I can't see outside, you asked me to lead troops to attack the Japanese pirates. This is improper command...
…”
"Shut up." Wu Siyuan finally couldn't bear it anymore.
"I'll count to three, and you make your own choice. Either lead a team to recapture the outpost, or go back to the capital to retire."
"one!"
There was silence in the big tent.
"two!"
Jin Yongge opened his mouth, but remained silent.
"three!"
Wu Siyuan let out a long sigh, "Someone came and took off Jin Yongge's sword."
"Which one of you dares?" Jin Yongge opened his eyes in disbelief, "I didn't say not to go, I just plan to go at dawn tomorrow."
snort!
Wu Siyuan waved his hand with a cold face.
The guards looked at each other.
As soldiers, what they dislike the most is such a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. Several personal guards immediately pounced on him like wolves and tigers, and took off his sword during Jin Yongge's struggle.
Wu Siyuan's eyes fell on the taciturn lieutenant beside him, "General Jiang, you take over Jin Yongge's position."
Jiang Xuesong was stunned for a moment, then responded loudly: "Yes!"
Wu Siyuan nodded with satisfaction and pointed to the east, "Go!"
"Yes!" Jiang Xuesong took the sword, "The last general will definitely live up to the general's trust and recapture the outpost as soon as possible."
After saying that, he strode away with his bodyguard.
"Wu Siyuan," Jin Yongge was furious, "I am the general of the Eastern Expedition appointed by Your Majesty. No one has the right to take my position. You are just a hugger of the princess, what qualifications do you have to treat me..."
Wu Siyuan frowned in disgust.
"Stop his stinking mouth, take him away and keep a close eye on him. Send him back to the capital early tomorrow morning. If something goes wrong along the way, I will take it upon you."
"yes!"
The news soon spread to Dachun Valley.
It’s just that none of the Xingluo soldiers could understand the messy Baekje dialect, so they could only pass on what they saw.
Ren Ning read the news and was silent for a while.
"This movement should be that the general stationed at the outpost has been captured, and Wu Siyuan is preparing to replace him to regain the position."
"Ninety percent of it is like this." Lei Er and others nodded in agreement.
Ren Ning measured the distance in several directions and said, "Do all our soldiers know the way?"
"Of course I do." Lei Er and others understood what he meant and couldn't help laughing.
For more than a month, they climbed all over the surrounding mountains. They knew clearly where they could walk and where they couldn't.
"Send a message to Liang Rushi of the First Battalion."
"There are no Japanese pirates approaching in Rock Valley now. Let him immediately lead a battalion to the mountain on the left side of the post road and wait for my order." Ren Ning clicked on the location of the outpost on the map and "kill these five thousand people together."
The news spread quickly.
Soon I received another message from Liang Rushi.
Ren Ning picked up his weapon and took the lead in leaving the Dachun Valley camp.
In the Yuanning Mountains in early May, the sky was dotted with stars and the ground was as dark as ink.
The two places are only separated by two hills, which doesn't sound too far away.
But mountains come in different sizes, and the mountain road is winding and winding. When Ren Ning led his men to the mountain on the right side of the post road, it was already the ugly time.
On the post road in the valley, flames shot into the sky and the sound of killings filled the ground.
Ren Ning and Lei Er raised their binoculars and looked down.
On the narrow post road, the two sides were fighting fiercely.
Everywhere you could see soldiers from both sides lying down, spurting blood, and the men and horses from behind both sides rushed up one after another.
The defensive front of the outpost was facing east.
The Japanese pirates captured the position without any resistance, and for a moment they could not help but wonder if this was some kind of trick by the Baekje people. Later, after it was confirmed that their opponents had simply escaped, they quickly built westward defenses.
However, the time is too short, and it has not yet formed a large scale, so it is difficult to use it for a long time.
At this time, Jiang Xuesong led his men to fight from the west, and the two sides were almost blocked on the narrow post road and fighting each other's heads on the hillsides on both sides.
Lei Er said, "General, there is news from the windmill that the first battalion has arrived."
Ren Ning nodded.
Although it was dark, the fire was raging on the post road. The rockets coming and going almost formed a bridge of fire, lighting up the entire valley.
He had already seen the dense green dots on the mountainside opposite.
However, Ren Ning remained silent, handed over the command to Lei Er, and fled eastward.
Lei Er was not surprised, nor was he worried about Ren Ning's safety.
He looked around and then led his men to quietly touch the back half of the Japanese pirates.
