The Era of Generals

"Chase!"

　　 An angry roar resounded through the poisonous fog army array.

　　The pikemen and swordsmen in the center are busy dealing with the heavy carriages that are raging on fire, and the heavy task of chasing is naturally given to the most mobile cavalry.

　　 However, just after the aggressive cavalry broke into the woods, the screams and the wailing of painful horses continued at this time.

　　 "Old...Boss, there is an ambush among my brothers!"

　　 After a short while, the fat old man saw his subordinates flying horses back, and his face panicked and replied: "Lin... I don't know when there are too many stumbling horses in the forest. Many brothers have been recruited!"

"what?!"

　　 When the fat old man heard it, his eyes quickly bulged out of his sockets, and the blue veins on his neck were soaring.

　　 These cavalry are all his subordinates, and they are also a bargaining chip for him to fight for his own interests after taking down West Cloud City, but now he is not winning, but first fell in the woods, if he is not frightened and angry.

　　 What's even more hateful is that the night has come, and the dim woods are even more gloomy, and there are still many stubborn horses hidden in it.

　　 The tripping horse is made of black steel wire. It is hard to be found in the dark environment. It is extremely sharp. If you set it low, you can cut off the horse's legs.

　　 Given the environment in the forest at this time, if the cavalry wanted to pursue it, they had to slow down their horse speed or even get off the horse directly, leading the horse to fumble over it bit by bit.

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

　　 The cavalry team came together after hearing the movement on this side again, and turned to the other side to chase after it, and after passing through the woods, it was afraid that the shadows of the people would not be seen anymore.

　　 Anyway, I can't catch up.

　　 General Fang’s face was pale, he did not force the fat old man to send his hands to chase Guo Zi’s ambush, but gritted his teeth and ordered the surviving heavy soldiers to be taken up.

　　The chaos in the middle and back lines has not yet subsided, and the elite soldiers of the Zhu Yan Empire who belonged to him finally pulled five gray-headed soldiers, one on each foot, and all kicked and kneeled in front of General Fang.

　　 "How many people are there on the enemy?"

　　 Forcibly enduring the thought of cutting off these five trembling soldiers, General Fang asked bitterly.

　　 Compared to venting my hatred, intelligence is obviously more important at this moment!

　　 "Go back to... the general, the opponent has at least five hundred, ah no, eight hundred to one thousand!"

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

　　 "How much is it!"

　　 General Fang was furious, and the sharp sword at his waist was choked out of its sheath!

　　 "Eight hundred! At least eight hundred people!"

　　 Another soldier hurriedly shouted: "General, the other party suddenly rushed over in black and white. The villain is hard to tell for a while, but the large number is true, there are at least 800 people!"

　　 "Do you think it?"

　　 said, he secretly stabbed his left and right companions with his hands, and looked at General Fang with a pair of innocent eyes.

　　 "Yes, yes, yes!"

　　 "General, the villain has seen it too. It is indeed no less than 800. Those people...are so fierce!"

　　 The left and right companions awakened like a dream, and hurriedly agreed in unison.

　　 How can there be so many?

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

　　 Those are the felons who were wanted by the government for committing crimes in the Qingyang Empire!

　　How can you escape the guard post of the cordon and run to the forest of poisonous mist to save your life if your brain is not bright?

　　 These people think very clearly. For an army, the matter of food and grass is no trivial matter. They have the responsibility of protecting them. Now the food and grass are being burned, of course, they can't get rid of the relationship.

　　 So the only way to do this is to exaggerate the opponent's number. The more the enemy's number, the smaller their number. Isn't this crime of dereliction of duty less serious?

　　 But they didn't know, because they wanted to excuse themselves, they gave General Fang a wrong message.

　　 "Eight hundred people?"

　　 General Fang frowned and groaned, and he didn't try to convict the five people for a while, he just bowed his head and thought.

　　 Next to him, Gang Leader Xu couldn't hold back, his eyes were worried and said: "General, what should I do now?"

"what to do?"

　　 General Fang glared at him, and said angrily: "Of course we continue to attack the city, what else can we do!"

　　 "Also attack?"

　　The Xu gang leader said in a puzzled way: "But our food is gone, or else... first camp on the spot and send someone back to the hometown to transport a new batch. Anyway, it's close. How about attacking the city tomorrow morning?"

He has also passed the military rank, and he knows the importance of food and grass, not to mention the fact that the army has come out of the poisonous fog forest all the way, and has been delayed here for so long. It should be buried in the pot and cooked. Now he can only be hungry. Yes, when the new batch of grain and grass arrives, I will have enough food and drink to be able to fight!

　　 This is the consideration of the leader of Xu Gang, and it is also his suggestion. There is nothing wrong at first, but it can be heard in the ears of General Fang...

Is 　　 stupid?

　　 If it weren't for relying on these people's men to attack the city for himself, General Fang wanted to poke his forehead to question.

　　 Helplessly, he could only take a deep breath and patiently said: "The other party has been thinking about our grain and grass from the beginning. Do you think they will let us ship another batch of grain and grass?"

　　 "You forgot, the ambush that disappeared after the sneak attack on the heavy troops?"

　　As soon as this word came out, the leader of Xu's Gang suddenly hesitated.

　　 General Fang said again: "Those ambushes did not return to West Cloud City~www.readwn.com after they burned the grain and grass~ Besides, if we were here, they wouldn't be able to go back, so guess where they would go?"

　　 Not only the leader of the Xu gang, but also the leaders of the six forces behind him, their complexion changed drastically after hearing this question, and they even glanced towards the forest of poisonous mist.

　　 "Yes!" General Fang gritted his teeth and said, "These **** ones must have been lurking in the forest of poisonous mist right now, just waiting for us to send someone back to get food and grass!"

　　 "The enemy is in the dark, we are in the light, Brother Xu, how many people do you think are appropriate to send back to fetch food and grass?"

　　 The leader of Xu’s gang was silent, and Fang sighed for a moment: “The enemy has 800 people. If we want to transport the grain and grass back safely, at least 2,000 people must go back.”

　　 General Fang hummed: "Withdraw one-third of his troops at once, do you think the opponent will miss this opportunity?"

　　 Xu Gangzhu was silent.

　　 If there are fewer people, the food cannot be returned. If there are more people, it weakens one's own forces.

　　 Although there are as many as 7,000 people here, but it is a carrot and a pit, and all types of arms are indispensable. Withdrawing 2,000 people at once, the formation will inevitably show flaws.

　　 If West Cloud City take this opportunity, wait until midnight to launch a surprise attack...

　　 The opponent has been waiting in the city for work, but they are tired and exhausted teachers. How can this battle be fought?

　　 After thinking about it a little deeper, the main Xu’s back was sweating, and only then was he surprised that they had no way out.

　　 "Then General Yifang meant..."

　　 "Two choices!" General Fang gritted his teeth and said: "The first is to retreat immediately, everyone returns to the forest of poisonous mist, and they will come back after sufficient supplies."

"second……"

　　 The long sword in his hand pointed at West Cloud City sharply, and said grimly: "While our current strength is still complete, we will take down West Cloud City in one go!"
