Thunder Blade has long heard that the Fire Eagle Legion's combat effectiveness is not bad. This time, 20,000 people fought against 20,000 people. Although they were attacked from both sides, the basic combat effectiveness should still be there.
However, unexpectedly, the battle only lasted a few hours, and the Fire Eagle Legion was defeated and retreated. This made Lei Ren feel very uneasy. The Fire Eagle Legion was probably deceitful!
"General Su, you see, the battlefield is on our territory now, and the Fire Eagle Legion has nothing to do. But if we pursue it, ten miles away, there will be a forest, and that side is also the border area between the Fire Eagle Legion and us. The terrain there
It’s complicated, if the Fire Eagle Legion ambush there, we will definitely suffer a disastrous defeat!”
Lei Ren took out the map and analyzed it seriously to Su Chenglong.
The army's disastrous defeat was really terrible. Although Lei Ren didn't like Su Chenglong, he couldn't make fun of the lives of 20,000 people. It is always better to be cautious when marching and fighting.
"Asshole!"
Su Chenglong frowned, glanced at Lei Ren viciously, and said: "You are just talking nonsense and misleading everyone!"
"The Fire Eagle Legion did not expect that our army and the Fire City defenders would attack them from front to back, and they were naturally defeated. This defeat was unexpected. How could they have an ambush there? Humph, Thunder Blade, you are a rookie, and I am less qualified than this general.
Pointing fingers in front of you!"
"I tell you, your paranoia is unnecessary. According to your idea, the battle does not need to be fought. There may be enemy ambushes everywhere! Humph, it is simply ridiculous! Hurry up and pursue the army. No way.
Wrong! Otherwise, don’t blame me for engaging in military law!”
Su Chenglong cursed at Thunder Blade, his face looking quite ugly.
Lei Ren did not refute Su Chenglong's scolding, because at this time, he was already heartbroken.
This guy will never give up until his own people are ruined!
"Why, you won't go? Do you think that since you are my assistant, I will not dare to engage in military law against you?" Seeing Lei Ren's indifference, Su Chenglong glared angrily.
Lei Ren forced a smile and said: "How dare you, General Su? General Su is here for the first time, and he is a novice in marching and fighting. This time, General Su wants to hold on to food and grass and wait for General Su to return victorious. How about that?"
Lei Ren continued to explain: "I would like to ask General Su to keep the 1,200 men led by Ni Qiang to guard the food and grass. If he comes back victorious, I will definitely write a letter to Your Majesty and attribute all the war achievements to General Su. I will never dare to have two people."
In my heart, from now on General Su will be the only one to follow suit!"
With no choice, Lei Ren could only flatter him, hoping that Su Chenglong could leave Ni Qiang's 1,200 men to him.
Su Chenglong was stunned for a moment after hearing Lei Ren's words. Then he saw Lei Ren's flattering smile, and immediately laughed and said: "This is what you said. If we win this battle, you want to write to His Majesty to claim credit for me?"
Lei Ren nodded: "That's natural. From now on, I will definitely learn the art of marching and fighting from General Su. I hope I can get some of General Su's true teachings."
Hearing this, Su Chenglong laughed loudly: "You can teach me, haha, Lei Ren, you are right to think so. When I come back victorious, if you are sincere, I will teach you everything I have."
After saying that, Su Chenglong looked at the sky and said: "Time waits for no one. Well, Lei Ren, you will leave Ni Qiang's men and horses to guard the food and grass. In addition, dig as soon as possible, prepare fine wine and delicacies, and wait for me."
Come back and take credit, haha, Zhang Lin, rectify your troops, pursue immediately, and kill the Fire Eagle Legion without leaving any trace behind!"
"yes!"
Su Chenglong, who seemed to have already smelled the victory, happily led his troops of about 9,000 men, advanced lightly, took the lead of the Fire City troops, and pursued the remnants of the Fire Eagle Legion from the side.
Looking at Su Chenglong leading the people away, Lei Ren was stunned for a moment, and after a long while, he only said two words to Su Chenglong: "Stupid!"
Ni Qiang came up at this time and asked doubtfully: "Boss, are you really sure that there is an ambush by the Fire Eagle Legion in the woods over there?"
Lei Ren nodded: "I dare not say 100%, but I am 80% sure that there is definitely an ambush in the woods over there. Look, there are so many routes along which the Fire Eagle Legion retreated, including plains and waterways. Why did they choose to go there?
Retreat into the forest?"
Ni Qiang suddenly realized: "There are so many hidden troops in the mountains and forests!"
Lei Ren nodded: "Yes, this kind of trivial skill is too obvious. The Fire Eagle Legion's acting skills are also too bad. Twenty thousand people were defeated in eight hours. As for whether you believe it or not, I don't believe it anyway. I think only Su Chenglong
Only such a fool would chase after him."
Ni Qiang: "The people from Liehuo City also went after him..."
Thunder Blade: "Those are all a bunch of idiots."
Ni Qiang was speechless, paused, and asked: "Boss, what should we do next? If the Sky Eagle Legion really has an ambush, then Su Chenglong and Chen Chao will probably be in trouble. If they are defeated
, we, more than a thousand people, can’t do much.”
Ni Qiang looked troubled: "And if we go back defeated like this, the emperor will definitely punish us. Oh, boss, you should advise General Su."
Lei Ren smiled bitterly: "I didn't persuade him? I just knelt down for him, but if he didn't listen, then I had no choice. He insisted on going his own way and wanted to grab the battle glory. Hum, but everyone knew that there was hell waiting for him.
Hold him..."
After letting out a long sigh, Lei Ren could only shake his head. He didn't feel sorry for Su Chenglong. This kind of person deserved his death.
Lei Ren just felt worthless for those more than 10,000 soldiers. Following this kind of coach, it was really a waste of time in his previous life.
Lei Ren hoped in his heart that there would be no ambush there and that Su Chenglong would come back to show off his power in front of him. However, the possibility of no ambush was too low.
After lowering his head and thinking for a moment, Lei Ren took out the map and looked at the surrounding terrain again.
"Boss, what should we do next?" Ni Qiang was at a loss at this time. If they were defeated, the rest of them would not dare to enter the Immortal City. With the temper of the Seventh Immortal Emperor, they would probably be beheaded.
!
"here."
After staring at the map for a few minutes, Lei Ren suddenly pointed to a mountain peak thirty miles away from them and said: "Let's go here first, Firestone City."
With the decision made, Lei Ren immediately ordered: "Li Yunlong, you immediately take everyone to Firestone City and take all the food and grass with you. When you get to Firestone City, take over the defense of Firestone City and send more spies to inquire about the situation."
After Lei Ren finished his instructions, he said to Ni Qiang: "Ni Qiang, let's take two hundred people to the edge of the battlefield over there. If anyone escapes, we will rescue them and take them all to Firestone City. Firestone City is now our base.
