"Master, subordinate..."

In the Tucheng, Fan Li knelt in front of Xiao Yuandong with a guilty look on his face. In the Huainan army, etiquette has always been simple, and such a posture is quite serious.

But this time he failed to observe and introduced the disaster into the jujube. Fan Li really couldn't calm down. Fear and punishment were the second. The deepest heart was that he was regretful and afraid. Although their cavalry had achieved great achievements, their situation was also extremely dangerous. It would take more than two days for the Huting army to reach the jujube as soon as possible, and during this period, they had to defend the city alone.

Without the task of defending the city, the cavalry came and went calmly, and the situation was not considered dangerous. Although the enemy was several times more than itself, they lacked established cavalry and could escape even if they could not defeat them, and they would not suffer too much loss.

But now the governor personally led the Huting army to come towards the defensive city. Before that, they would never allow the city to fall and change hands. Otherwise, the Huting army would no longer accept the city, but to attack the tough ones. Without the advantage of geographical advantages, and the military strength between the two sides was not huge to multiple differences, so the outcome was really unpredictable.

If such a situation occurs, their cavalry will not only not make a great contribution, but will not be a great mistake. Because their own initiative disrupted the original deployment, once the war is drawn in an unpredictable direction, these people will be extremely guilty!

So in the past few days, since Xiao Yuandong surrendered, everyone was trembling, fearing that they would make mistakes. Fan Li was no exception. In fact, he still had a little indescribable thought in his heart. First of all, he was the governor's village party, and secondly, he led his troops to join the army. However, after joining the army, the troops were unable to retain them, and he also made up his merits to become a cavalry lieutenant.

Fan Li can't say anything about this in the entire Huainan Army, but young people will inevitably have some arrogance and hope to achieve something. People like Shen Yun, Yu Manzhi and others have both the help of their family background and have accumulated merits for many years. Fan Li sighs as bad as him. However, their owner Xiao Yuandong, Fan Li thinks that he can catch up with him. He doesn't want to overwhelm, but he also wants to equalize his beauty.

This time, the light advancement is mostly lucky to recover the jujube. Fan Li also hopes to have a brilliant performance in the future defense. The recruitment of this refugee team has strengthened the Huainan cavalry itself. After all, they have advanced lightly and have not carried the power. Although these people cannot form combat effectiveness, with them taking on common tasks, they can greatly recuperate and liberate the combat effectiveness of the cavalry.

Previously, Xiao Yuandong was wary of these refugees, and Fan Li was a little dissatisfied, thinking that Xiao Yuandong was a little too sensitive or had some intention of suppressing him. But now the hidden dangers have indeed erupted, which made Fan Li unable to calm down, and some desire to compete for courage disappeared, and replaced by deep guilt.

Now that I think about it, there is something strange about this matter. The coincidence of the refugees along the way was simply to solve the predicament of the Huainan Army. If we look at it from a normal mind, Fan Li would not be deceived by him, and at least he would be wary of it. Now, he not only wanted to make progress and lost his normal mind, but also he was also immature and lacked experience.

I used to think that Xiao Yuandong, the master of the banner, was lucky, but when I saw him calmly resolving hidden dangers and even turning them into help, Fan Li had to sigh that he was really lucky. The Xiao family of Lanling was really not worth mentioning among the overseas Chinese sects. Their master of the banner was not worthy of attention, and it was not just luck and old love.

Xiao Yuandong didn't know Fan Li's thoughts, or he didn't realize these things at all. He was a pure warrior. He has been following the governor until now. He was in war and resting when he should be residing. In addition to the increase in the number of troops he was in, he didn't even think that the situation was different. Who knew that in the eyes of the people of the time, he was a poor overseas Chinese, and now he has not only become the leader of the young generals of the Huainan Army, but also was granted the title of Duxiang Marquis. It is already a success and enviable.

"It is not the time to hold accountable. The clever way of the soldiers is already hard to defend. Yue can attract hundreds of people to use, which has alleviated many difficulties in our army. Moreover, since I am the commander of the army, my vision should be more capable than you."

Xiao Yuandong was in a good mood at this moment because the leaders reported that more than 20 spies hidden among these refugees were cleared out, and even if there were two or three omissions, it was not enough to cause trouble. The enemy general used this strategy to not only send more than 300 Ding Li, who was currently in short supply to the Huainan Army, but also learned about the military situation of the enemy by interrogating the spies, and then passed on a false news to tempt it.

By this calculation, this matter is really more gain than loss. The most important thing is that Xiao Yuandong really feels a sense of superiority in IQ this time. He has always felt that he should be the wise general like the governor who is not good at everything and always tries to win thousands of miles. He is not a reckless and brave man like Yu Manzhi and Shen Yun. But his understanding is not recognized by others. He often argues, but is slandered by others because of his good luck.

So this time, he also avenged his shame. When he returned to the town after the war, he would boast about it and see if those idiots dare to underestimate him!

To suppress the darkness in his heart for the time being, Xiao Yuandong looked at the increasingly thick night outside the city and frowned: "The enemy is dark and I am bright now, and there are cities tied up. The enemy may attack tonight, and it will inevitably be fierce in the future. You must be energetic and do not defame my reputation for fighting bravely in Huainan!"

When several other soldiers and other soldiers heard this, they all agreed, but Fan Li still knelt down and said in a deep voice: "I would like to ask two hundred soldiers to go out of the city and attack the bandit army in half!"

Although the owner of the pagoda did not blame him, Fan Li himself could not forgive himself. Although these spies did not cause great trouble, he was attracted by him after all. If Wuguan was erupted, he might have to explain this to the thousands of cavalrymen. Therefore, he asked for a fight now, and he was determined to fight to apologize.

Although the cavalry advantage is obvious in field battles, the comparison of troops and environmental factors must also be considered. The spies revealed that the enemy troops in the north had at least 4,000, which was several times that of the Huainan Army. Moreover, the mobility of the cavalry at night would be limited. To fight thousands of troops with two hundred people, it was simply to hit stones with eggs.

When Xiao Yuandong heard this, he shook his head. His military strength was not superior. If he divided his troops, his disadvantage would be even more obvious. Although the enemy's chief general was seen through and used, it can be seen that he had a great idea. Like Xiao Yuandong, he regarded himself as a wise general. He will not care whether the strategy is good or not, but it will inevitably bring great variables to the battle.

By judging others by oneself, Xiao Yuandong felt that even if the enemy launched an attack tonight, he would definitely not follow common sense and would definitely want to play some tricks.

So after a little thought, he made a arrangement. Although the spies were removed, it was still doubtful whether it was credible. However, the Huainan army was at an absolute disadvantage at present. Xiao Yuandong did not intend to abandon these human resources. He was soon driven to the camps around Tucheng, and then placed bonfires in front of the camps, and many simple flags were erected in the camps. From a distance, the momentum was really strong.

Seeing this, the other Huainan soldiers could not help but tremble. They felt that their master was really fantastic. The spies who were deliberately let go during the day had been here for two days. They naturally had the fullest control of the Huainan army, and even counted the troops to single digits. What is the meaning of this bluff? It would be better to dig a few trenches outside the city, and at least they could slightly block the enemy.

Xiao Yuandong did not explain, with a stern face, looking mysterious and riding a horse and wandering among the camps where fires are soaring into the sky but empty, carefully reminding the refugees to pay attention to adding firewood to maintain the fire. As for what the meaning is, he knows! He just felt that it was too boring to just wait for the enemy to attack, and at least make some preparations to highlight his image of the wisdom bead.

Time passed quietly, and the refugees were scattered in various empty camps, carefully maintaining the fire, while the soldiers of the Huainan army were holding their bows and swords in the earthen city and quietly cultivating their strength, waiting for the war to come.

"Master of the pagoda, the enemy shows up in the wild!"

Under the quiet night, the sound of horses and horse hooves was extremely eye-catching. Soon the scouts rushed into the city to report the results. In fact, there was no need to investigate carefully at this moment. Standing on the Tucheng Tower and looking north, you could see that there were many fire points flashing from the night sky in the wilderness. The fire points were distributed very wide, almost covering the entire space north of the jujube. It was obvious that the enemy also made the same arrangement as the Huainan Army and bluffed.

"It seems that the enemy's chief general named Chen Shi is not a common person."

Feeling the gazes of the soldiers' commanders, Xiao Yuandong's expression was barely calm. In fact, the Huainan Army had almost understood the military situation of the enemy. After all, it was impossible for ordinary soldiers to be sent to perform spy missions. After some questioning, all the things they should say should not be said.

So whether it is the Huainan Army or the army that is pressing for the sinewance at the moment, they already have a deep understanding of each other. The so-called bluff is completely unnecessary.

Relatively speaking, the Huainan Army is even more unnecessary to cheat here, and the enemy can at least confuse the public, making it difficult to understand where the main force of the army is effective. Because of the different types of troops, the Huainan Army currently has the initiative in offensive and defensiveness. If you want to go out to fight, you can offset a considerable amount of mobility without knowing where the main force of the enemy is.

The Huainan Army is just looking for trouble. The enemy is very clear about how many troops they have. The bluffing cannot deter the enemy. The opponent can ignore it. As long as it rushes into a city or camp, the combat goal can be said to be half completed. As long as there are camps to defend, it will offset the mobility of the Huainan cavalry. With the advantage of the number of people alone, it can force these thousands of cavalry out sour days.

So Xiao Yuandong is in a bad mood at the moment. He used the spy to convey a fake move. He could be said to be playing with the other party in his palm. However, now both sides choose to bluff, and the two sides' plans are reduced to the same level, which makes Xiao Yuandong feel a sense of humiliation.

Xiao Yuandong was really unwilling to stop here. Seeing the opponent's fires scattered, he smiled and said, "The enemy's formation is scattered. It can be seen that it is a scattered food that fills the army, and it is inevitable that the order will not be repaired. There is still much food in the camp, and it will be poured over before the camp. When the front line becomes chaotic, it will be the time for our army to attack!"
