Chapter 47

"Chase!"

The roar of anger rang through the poison fog army.

The long spearmen and sword and shield men in the middle array are busy dealing with the baggage carriages that collide with fire. The heavy task of pursuit is naturally handed over to the most mobile cavalry.

However, after the fierce cavalry rushed into the woods, a series of screams and the wailing of painful horses also sounded at this time.

"Old... Boss, the brothers are in ambush!"

After a while, the little fat old man saw his men flying back, and his face was frightened. He replied: "Lin... When there were many more stumbling ropes in the forest, many brothers were recruited!"

"What?!"

As soon as the slightly fat old man heard this, his eyes widened quickly, his eyes protruded, and his veins soared on his neck.

These cavalry soldiers are his men, and they are also the chips for him to fight for his own interests after he defeated Xiyun city. At present, they failed to win the battle, but fell into the woods first. If they don't make him frightened and angry.

What is more hateful is that at this time, the night is approaching, and the dark woods are even darker. I don't know how many stumbling ropes are hidden in them.

The horse trip rope is made of black steel wire. It is difficult to be found in the dark environment. It is extremely sharp. If it is set low, it can cut off the horse legs. If it is set slightly higher, it can break the human neck!

In this forest environment, if the cavalry wanted to pursue, they had to slow down their horses or even get down directly from their horses and lead their horses to explore the past bit by bit.

In this way, the speed advantage of cavalry is gone. How can it be useful?

After hearing the movement on this side, the cavalry gathered and rushed to the other side to chase around. When they passed through the woods, they were afraid that they could not see anyone.

Anyway, I can't catch up.

General Fang's face was iron green. Instead of forcing the fat old man to send his hand to pursue Guo Zi's ambush, he clenched his teeth and ordered people to escort the surviving soldiers of the baggage army.

The chaos in the middle and rear array has not subsided. The elite soldiers of his Zhu Yan empire finally picked up five disheartened soldiers, one by one, kicking and kneeling in front of general Fang.

"How many enemies?"

Resisting the idea of chopping the five trembling soldiers, general Fang asked angrily.

Intelligence is obviously more important than venting your hatred at the moment!

"Back... Back, general, the other party has at least 500, ah no, 800 to 1000!"

The soldier kneeling on the far left trembled violently, and the number of people reported in his mouth was changed again and again, more and more.

"How much is it!"

General Fang was so angry that the sharp sword on his waist was already choking out of its scabbard!

"800! At least 800 people!"

Another soldier quickly shouted, "general, the other party suddenly rushed over. It's hard to distinguish the villains at a time, but the large number is true. There are at least 800 people!"

"Do you think so?"

Then he stabbed his left and right companions with his hand, and tried his best to open a pair of innocent eyes and look at general Fang.

"Yes, yes, yes!"

"General, the villain also saw it. It's really no less than 800. Those people... Are so fierce!"

The left and right companions woke up like a dream and quickly agreed in unison.

Actually, how can there be so many?

General Fang is also unlucky. If you ask a real soldier, most of them will answer truthfully, but who are the five kneeling on the ground and who make up the whole army?

Those are serious criminals who committed crimes in Qingyang Empire and are wanted by the government!

If you are not smart, how can you escape the sentry of the blockade and run to the forest of poisonous fog to save your life?

These people think very clearly that for an army, the matter of food and grass is no small matter. They are responsible for protecting their luggage. At present, the food and grass are burned, of course.

Therefore, the only way to do this is to exaggerate the number of opponents. The more the number of enemies, the fewer they are, the lighter the crime of dereliction of duty will be?

However, they didn't know that they gave general Fang a wrong message because they wanted to excuse themselves.

"800 people?"

General Fang frowned and mused. He didn't punish the five people for a moment. He just bowed his head and meditated.

Nearby, sect leader Xu couldn't help but look worried and said, "general, what should I do now?"

"What should I do?"

General Fang stared at him and said angrily, "of course, we continue to attack the city. What else can we do!"

"Still attack?"

Leader Xu didn't understand: "but our food and grass are gone, otherwise... Camp on the spot first and send someone back to his hometown to transport another batch. Anyway, it's close. How about attacking the city early tomorrow morning?"

He has also been admitted to the military rank and knows the importance of food and grass. Moreover, the army came out of the forest of poisonous fog and delayed here for so long. It was time to bury a pot for cooking. Now he can only be hungry for a while. When a new batch of food and grass arrives, he can have enough food and drink to have the strength to fight!

This is the consideration of leader Xu and his suggestion. There was nothing wrong, but it can be heard in general Fang's ears

Are you stupid?

If he didn't have to rely on these people's men to attack the city for himself, general Fang would like to poke him on the forehead.

But now I can only take a deep breath and patiently say, "the other party has been thinking about our food and grass from the beginning. Do you think they will let us transport another batch of food and grass?"

"Did you forget the ambush that disappeared after sneaking into the baggage army?"

Leader Xu hesitated when he said this.

General Fang said again, "those ambulances didn't go back to Xiyun city after burning grain and grass. Besides, they can't go back even if we are here. Guess where they will go?"

Not only leader Xu, but also the leaders of the six forces behind him, changed greatly after hearing this problem, and looked at the direction of the poison fog forest.

"Good!" General Fang gritted his teeth and said, "these damn people must have lurked into the forest of poisonous fog, waiting for us to send someone back to get food and grass!"

"The enemy is dark and we are bright. Leader Xu, how many people do you think are appropriate to send back for food and grass?"

Xu Gang leader was silent. After a moment, Fang sighed, "there are 800 enemy people. If we want to transport food and grass safely, at least 2000 people must go back."

General Fang hummed, "withdraw one-third of his troops at once. Do you think the other party will miss this opportunity?"

Sect leader Xu was silent.

When there are fewer people, they can't carry back food and grass, and when there are more people, they weaken their own forces.

Although there are as many as 7000 people here, they are a turnip and a pit. All arms are indispensable. If they withdraw 2000 people at once, the formation will inevitably reveal flaws.

If Xiyun city takes this opportunity to launch a raid in the middle of the night

The other side has been waiting for work in the city, but they are tired teachers who are tired. How can we fight this war?

After thinking deeply, leader Xu's back was sweating. At this time, he was surprised that they had no way back.

"What does general Yifang mean..."

"Two choices!" General Fang gritted his teeth and said, "the first is to retreat immediately. Everyone will return to the forest of poisonous fog and make a comeback after sufficient supplies."

"Second..."

He pointed at Xiyun city with a long sword in his hand, and said, "take advantage of our complete strength to win Xiyun city!"
