Poor family mother and son

Chapter 77 Kill him! (two)
At night, in the loud tent.

With his mouth full of foam, Hong Liang walked back and forth quickly in the tent.

Because they were eager to go to the border, the 12 troops only brought two days' rations.In other words, his army has only two days, and the first day has passed.

If Voss soldiers and horses cannot be expelled tomorrow, then they will have to drive straight in.The northern part of Eastern Lun just occupied is about to fall.At that time, even if they don't die in battle, they will face the end of starvation.

"Come on!" Hong Liang shouted.

"General!" The general Ma Da, who had been waiting outside the account, raised his hand to stop the soldiers who brought the tea, and took the tea tray into the account himself.

"Why are you?" Hong Liang was annoyed.

"General, you don't have to worry about food," Ma Da said, "Although the soldiers in front of us only have one day's ration left, we still have bean cakes."

"Didn't you finish eating a few days ago?" Hong Liang wondered.

"Just now someone from the secret investigation department said that another batch of bean cakes is already on the way, and it will probably be delivered tomorrow morning."

"Why are there still? Last time I heard that Lord Chu's place has been emptied."

"It was Master Chu who loaded the bean cakes for us, and sent everyone out the next day to buy soybeans in further villages and counties."

"This time the bean cakes were sent out after the food delivery team, but they went through the channel of the secret investigation department, so they will arrive tomorrow morning."

"I really know how to do things. To tell you the truth, if it weren't for this saber, I might not be able to kill Zhuohan today. This saber was also made by Master Chu." Hong Liang's mood finally improved.

"General, you drink water." Ma Da pushed the teacup forward.

"Tell me." Hong Liang took a sip of his tea, and when the hot tea hit the foam on his mouth, he couldn't help frowning.He knew that this nephew must have something to say.If there were no outsiders in the tent in normal times, Ma Da would definitely call him "uncle".But today, it has been called "General".

"General, nearly ten thousand people have been lost today, and there are countless injuries." Ma Da licked his lips, feeling that today's conversation was a bit difficult.

In today's battle, huge losses are not the most important thing.The point is that they are stuck in a dilemma.If you advance, you can't fight; if you retreat, you will throw away the northern part of Donglun in vain, and it will also give the country of Voss a chance to attack Daxuan along the way.

In terms of personal gains and losses, if you continue to fight, you may lose more than today, because Daxuan's [-] cavalry has lost nearly [-], and the infantry has lost nearly [-].Today, a total of [-] cavalry participated in the battle.Voss only sent out [-] cavalry, and only lost [-].This battle loss ratio is ten for one.To put it bluntly, this is enough to punish Hong Liang.

But now he had to fight, and if he continued to fight, the consequences would be disastrous.There is no difference between punishing Hong Liang and punishing Da Da, because Da Da's [-] soldiers and horses are among them, and it is impossible not to fight.

Ma Da came today because he couldn't think of a way to break the situation, but he wanted to minimize the loss of personal interests.

"Uncle," Ma Da said with difficulty, "Tomorrow, I will lead the army to battle."

Hong Liang instantly understood what his nephew was thinking.Ma Da is going to sacrifice himself to keep Hong Liang.Tomorrow's battle, if Ma Da leads the army, he will make a gesture of disobeying the general's orders and sending troops recklessly, and then there will be losses, and the main responsibility will fall on Ma Da.

And Hong Liang has the credit for winning the first battle, regaining lost ground, and shrinking the border, which can be offset by the crime of serious damage in today's battle.The law of the imperial court is like this, meritorious deeds must be rewarded, mistakes must be punished.It's just that punishment is always higher than reward.

Ma Da was convicted, and there was a second-rank general Hong Liang covering him, at least he could save his life; if Hong Liang was convicted, no one would be able to survive alone.

"No!" Hong Liang resolutely said.If Ma Da is allowed to fight, in order not to implicate his uncle, he may die in battle directly.

"Uncle, don't worry, I won't act recklessly." Ma Ma said while organizing his thoughts.For a moment, he seemed to think of something.

"Uncle, the advantage of the cavalry lies in their mobility, followed by their speed and height. But this must be an advantage only on the plains. The valley we are fighting today is very beneficial to their cavalry, but after the valley, there is only one road leading to it." To the interior of Donglun, and this road is not wide, it can barely accommodate two horses in parallel." Ma Da's thinking became clear.

"If I lead the troops tomorrow, I will order to retreat when the failure is revealed. Uncle, you must ambush the soldiers and horses behind the valley, and intercept and kill them in the woods behind the valley. When you enter the woods and mountains, there will be no cavalry. How useful it is."

Hong Liang's index finger drew a circle along the edge of the teacup, thinking about the feasibility of the motor strategy.After a while, he clasped his hands on the teacup and said, "Tomorrow you set up an ambush, and I will lead you into the urn!"

"Uncle, no!" Ma Da urged urgently.This kind of retreat will cost your life!Voss' cavalry are all sharpshooters, and they don't just chase but don't shoot arrows.Ma Da can use his own life as a bait, but he cannot put his uncle in danger.

"Lang'er," Hong Liang called Ma Da, "I killed Zhuohan today, and I will definitely become a thorn in Voss' side. Tomorrow, their targets will all focus on me, and I will be more likely to be fooled by them. Let our soldiers save some lives."

"But..." Ma Da insisted on fighting by himself, but Hong Liang stopped him with a wave of his hand: "That's it!"

The next day.

The cold wind howls sadly, the sun is dim, the flying canopy is broken, the weeds are withered and gloomy, the wind is sad and the sun is dying.The grass is dry and the grass is dry, as cold as the frosty morning.Birds can't fly down, and beasts perish.

Camel drums clang in the valley, and three battle flags flutter in the wind.

"The soul of the Nine Princes has gone to visit the Immortal, but it's too early! We want to avenge the bravest warriors of Voss! The Immortal will not spare them!" Chief, said loudly.

"Revenge! Revenge! Revenge!" shouted the soldiers.

This time, the leaders of the three tribes of Virat, Hesot, and Tuhuert have all arrived.These three tribes are the largest tribes in the country of Voss, and they are also the main source of combat power in the country of Voss.

In yesterday's battle, the nine princes of Vos were killed, and the leaders of the three tribes were in a state of panic.King Voss was quick-tempered and would not kill, but he loved his ninth son very much.

The three leaders were afraid that King Vos would severely punish their tribe, so they decided to temporarily hide the news of the death of the Ninth Prince, and captured the northern part of Donglun Kingdom first, so as to make up for it.

The pre-battle speech just now was actually a pre-war warning with the leader of Sauter: Don’t hide it, everyone. Yesterday my three thousand cavalry lost one thousand, but you didn’t contribute at all. If the king really blames it, If I am convicted, you will not be able to escape, your crimes are greater than mine!
The leaders of Virat and Tuhuert looked solemn.Now is the season when aquatic plants begin to flourish, and it is time for the tribes to recuperate.The long winter has made their war horses, cattle and sheep lose weight, and it is really inappropriate to start a war at this time.Even in two months.

But no, the Ninth Prince is dead, and they can't explain it when they go back.Their people are in the hands of King Voss.The land of Voss is so large, and they are the largest tribe, King Voss must have control over their tribes.

What I said to the leader of Sauter is right, they don’t know that Changshengtian will not let the Xuanguo people go, but it is certain that King Vos will not let him go.

"Kill them all! Immortal will not allow dirty Twolegs to defile his warriors!" Virat and Tuhuert's leader shouted.At this time, the tone must be unified.

"Kill them all, kill them all!" the soldiers shouted in unison with their spears on the ground.

The voices outside the valley were heard by the Daxuan soldiers in the valley, but they did not have any pre-war mobilization.Because there is no need.They knew that beside the war drum at the high place behind them was General Hong Liang.

"Boom, boom, boom..." The loud drumming sounded slowly and loudly, from slow to fast, and the atmosphere of the team became more chilling with the drumming.

　Hong Liang clasped his fists: Thank you for your votes, half of the baked bean cakes will be shared with you!
