It turns out that what the scouts just brought back was bad news. The result of Yu Ji's extraordinary patience this time was that the march was unusually cautious. The number of scout horses released every day was ten times that of the normal march. If anything happened to Yu Ji,
can respond quickly.
Although Niu Er's face didn't change at all, he was extremely anxious. The cavalry battalion only had more than a thousand cavalry. According to Niu's plan before World War II, Yu Ji came with a large army. According to the distance, it was almost to Jinzhou, so he should be the most lax.
At that time, attacking at night will definitely cause great chaos. Yu Ji will definitely stop and make corrections at that time.
What Niu Er wanted was to use this effect to delay as much time as possible. But this time Yu Ji didn't know what he was doing. Feng Xingjun was unusually cautious and divided the army into two parts, widening the distance between them.
It is impossible to bypass the army in front. The army in front seems to know that someone is going to stop them. In the past two days, the marching speed has been reduced and the number of scout horses sent has increased.
According to this situation, it is impossible for Niu Er to bypass the leading army. But even if he attacks this army, it will not have any impact on the overall situation. Yu Ji can still lead the army behind to attack Jinzhou.
The officers below were already making a fuss. Niu Er put away his thoughts and then coughed. Hearing Niu Er's cough, the officers who were still there just now stopped their voices and turned to Niu Er.
Niu Er said: "Tell me, is this battle still necessary?"
After hearing Niu Er's question, the officers below also frowned and began to think carefully. It took a long time for someone to say: "The purpose of this battle is to gain time, but..."
"Now we don't recognize the opportunity at all." The voice of the officer who spoke after him had become deeper.
Some officers who were the first to eat crabs also began to express their opinions. The general meaning of these officers who expressed their opinions was that there was no need to fight this war.
When the last officer sat down, the whole battalion commander fell into silence again. These officers' eyes were once again focused on Niu Ershen, waiting for Niu Er to make up his mind.
Niu Er said with difficulty: "It is true that we have no need to fight this battle again. Please inform the Erlangs that we will be well prepared and leave overnight."
"Is it necessary, Captain, to leave overnight?" the officer who was the first to stand up and express his opinion asked again.
"Since this battle is not going to be fought, we can't drag our feet. We must go back and think of another way as soon as possible, so we can't waste a moment." Niu Er said.
"Go down and get ready." Niu Er's slightly tired voice sounded again.
"It's my lord." A group of officers left the camp one after another and prepared to leave. When all the officers had exited the camp, Niu Er closed his eyes in pain.
Niu Er came out this time with a death wish, but the current situation made it impossible for him to do anything. It was like punching cotton with force, which was very uncomfortable.
Soon Niu Er led the cavalry battalion to withdraw overnight...
Jia Zhi was exhausted physically and mentally over the past two days and was increasingly helpless about the situation at hand. Wan had just fallen asleep in a daze when he was awakened by the voice of the guards outside: "My lord, your lord, your lord..."
Jia Zhi, who was woken up, was also angry and stood up in a hurry. He really didn't think the guards on duty outside would wake him up at this time unless it was something important.
The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became. Jia Zhi hurriedly walked out of the tent and asked, "What happened?"
The guard said: "Captain Niu has sent someone back."
When he heard that Niu Er had sent someone back, Jia Zhi was shocked and then ordered: "Bring the people here."
After thinking for a while, Jia Zhi continued to give instructions: "Quickly go and get some captains here."
After giving instructions, Jia Zhi turned around and went back to the tent to start dressing...
In the middle of the night, Li, He Song, and Hou Ji were all called up. Although they were reluctant, they immediately became aware of the actions of Jia Zhi and the three of them. Because they all knew that it would be too late for them to go there at this time.
Something big happened.
I hope it won't be a bad thing again. The three of them thought silently in their hearts on the way to go. Soon the three of them arrived at the camp.
Li was the first to speak: "What news did Colonel Niu ask you to bring back?"
When the man heard Li's question, he didn't dare to hide anything and explained everything Niu Er had told him. After waiting for a long time, Jia Zhi waved his hand and said, "You go down first."
The man followed his instructions and went down. After the man left, Jia Zhi slowly said, "What should you do next?"
When Jia Zhi saw everyone coming, he went straight to the topic without being polite and said: "Niu Xiaowei has sent someone back."
When they heard that Niu Er had sent someone back, the three of them cheered up. He Song asked, "What news did you bring back?"
Jia Zhi shook his head and said, "I haven't had time to see the person yet."
After saying that, Jia Zhi said loudly: "Bring him in."
Soon a man in military uniform was brought in. When he saw the four of them, the man quickly saluted. Then the firelight revealed that the man's hair was still slightly dewy and his legs were slightly bent.
All four of them knew that this was the reason for riding all night. Jia Zhi said, "No need to be polite."
Li asked first, "What news did Captain Niu want you to bring back?"
When the man heard Li's question, he did not dare to neglect what happened on the front line. After the man finished speaking, Jia Zhi's face remained unchanged, he waved his hand and said, "You go down and rest first."
The man hurriedly went down after hearing Jia Zhi's words. After the man left the tent, Jia Zhi's face changed and became particularly gloomy.
Jia Zhi said: "You all heard what I just said..."
He Song, Li, and Hou Ji nodded. Jia Zhi continued: "Now the situation has changed again and Captain Niu can't help me buy time at all."
The three of them nodded again, and Jia Zhi continued: "So we don't have time. We must decide on a specific strategy now to avoid being at a loss when the time comes."
At this time, Li said with murderous intent: "What else is there to say? He doesn't want to be inspected? Let him be arrested when he is inspected. If he doesn't come in person, then we will stay behind closed doors. If he leads the army to fight
We will fight them off."
Jia Zhi did not object to Li's words this time but said calmly: "We have to consider all the circumstances. For example, if he comes to us in person and captures him, who will he send to capture him, what should we do after we capture him?"
Deal with him..."
Then the four people began to discuss some specific things. Now there is only one way before them, and that is to fight until Yu Feng comes back.dd
