The three of them were plotting in the tent, and a tribesman outside reported that the marshal had invited them to come over to discuss matters.
"Handsome, handsome, handsome, dog-footed handsome!" Dangxiong spat, but he still forced himself to be helped up, and went to the handsome tent with Munoniu.
In the commander's tent, there was a dark cloud. Yaozhu and his deputy commander Huo Chi were standing at the top. A group of Yuan army generals were talking quietly to themselves at the bottom. There was no military discipline at all.
When the three chieftain leaders came in, Huo Chi said in a deep voice: "Last night the Ming army launched a shameless sneak attack. Our army was caught off guard and withdrew from the Chinese army camp. The military situation is urgent. Please give me a lecture from the marshal."
Only then did the generals stop talking and looked at Yaozhu.
After two hours of adjustments, Yaozhu seemed to have returned to normal, and he said to the generals in a deep voice:
"You don't have to be depressed. We did encounter a small setback, but it has nothing to do with the overall situation. Because Pingzhang's army is coming soon. As long as we hold on to the last few days, we can turn defeat into victory."
"The marshal is right, winning or losing at the moment is not important, we must be the ones who have the last laugh!" Huo Chi hurriedly agreed.
Unfortunately, the encouragement given by the two generals was not successful. The generals were still dejected and no one responded at all.
Yaozhu and Huochi looked at each other helplessly, and the former had no choice but to think about himself: "Now we divide the work and get through the last few days. The east side has complete defenses and is easy to defend but difficult to attack, so it will be guarded by the three leaders.
"
After a pause, he said: "Now that the defense in the west is weak, we must hurry up and build more fortifications. The task is more difficult, and it will be shouldered by our officers and soldiers."
"What do you think?" Yaizhu said and looked at the generals, mainly the three chieftains.
Dangxiong Mumino didn't say anything. Niu Qi was about to speak, but Dangxiong pulled him back, so he had to turn away and remain silent.
"Okay, since we don't have any opinions, it's settled. Time waits for no one, so we will start to change defenses when we get back." Yaizhu said solemnly: "In the autumn of your life and in times of crisis, you must put aside your prejudices and work together in the same boat. Only in this way can we
Turn defeat into victory.”
"Yes." The generals responded sparsely, then resigned and left the camp.

Returning to Dangxiong's camp, Niu Qi couldn't wait to say: "Let us deal with the main force of the Ming army. I have the nerve to say it is for our own good."
"Yes, he is holding back the bad water. Do you believe it or not, he has no intention of defending at all?" Dangxiong nodded. After having his hand chopped off, he seemed to have opened the seal of wisdom.
"Really?" Niu Qi asked in surprise.
"Didn't you notice that neither he nor the generals of the Yuan army mentioned the lack of food for the camp?" Dangxiong nodded and said, "This is a top priority! But they didn't even mention it. It was clear that they had no plans.
hold fast!"
"It's true." Mino said suddenly: "Normally, we should gather all the food that can be eaten immediately and distribute it in reduced quantities. This is not the intention to fight at all."
"Then what do they want to do?" Niu Qi asked.
"They want us to help them block the Ming army so they can escape." Dangxiong gritted his teeth and said, "Their only hope now is to break out to the west before they are completely surrounded!"
"It makes sense." The two nodded. The middle part of the canyon where Puding Fort is located is the widest section, and that area is also dominated by chieftain soldiers. It is indeed the only direction to escape.
"It's already here, and you still want to pull us away!" Mino finally got angry: "Go to hell with these bastards!"
"Then what should we do?" Niu Qi asked.
"He takes his Yangguan Road, and we cross our single-plank bridge." Dangxiong whispered: "As soon as the defense is changed, someone will contact the Ming army to surrender. Don't delay for a moment!"
"Yes, we must also tell them about the Yuan army's plan to escape. We can't take advantage of these grandsons!" Mino gritted his teeth. When he thought of sacrificing half of the men in the clan, but in exchange for such a result, he wanted to tear him alive.
Biting pillars and fire red.
"That's it. I'll contact the Ming army!" Niu Qi even took the initiative to ask for help. Their Puding Department has no value, so they can only create value on their own.
~~
After changing defense in the afternoon, Niu Qi waited anxiously at the front line.
As soon as it got dark, he couldn't wait to climb out of the village wall, cross the ditch, and run towards the Ming army camp outside the canyon.
Before he had even taken a few steps, he was pushed to the ground by a scout hiding in the dark.
"Don't get me wrong, I'm here to surrender!" Niu Qi whispered quickly.
The scout paused for a moment, then knocked him out with a palm.
When he woke up, he found that he was already in the Ming army camp. A Ming army general wearing a purple robe was sitting behind the big case, looking at him and asking: "What is your identity?"
"Back to the general, my name is Niu Qi. He is Ju Mu, the agent of the Puding tribe. This time, he represents the two Pu'an and Luoshan tribes and has come to surrender." Niu Qi couldn't care less about his confusion and hurriedly explained his purpose.
"In addition, there is an extremely urgent military situation to report."
"What's the matter?" the general asked in a deep voice.
"That bastard Yaizhu... Oh, he is the chief general of the Yuan army. He decided to lead his men to escape tonight!" Niu Qi said urgently.
"Oh?" Jin Chaoxing raised his eyebrows slightly. He was not surprised. Mu Ying had already sent people to climb up the cliff and come along the cliff to report the latest battle situation to him.
"The villain knows that the general must be worried about fraud!" Niu Qi had already thought clearly. If he wanted to increase the value, he had to make great contributions. In order to make great contributions, he had to sell the Pu'an Luoshan Department.
"This is a fool, if we pretend to surrender, wouldn't the army be in danger?"
"Haha..." Jin Chaoxing looked at Niu Qi with interest, but he didn't expect him to be so considerate. "What you said makes sense, so what should we do?"
"The villain has a plan. After I go back, I will persuade the leaders of the other two groups. When the Yuan army escapes, we will immediately switch sides and chase them." Niu Qi then said in a deep voice: "If we can defeat them, we will take the place of the general.
Take care of them without the general taking action. If we can't defeat them, we will withdraw to the side and not block the general's pursuit."
He said with a flattering smile: "No matter what, you can always use up the Yuan army for the general, and it can also save the officers and soldiers some energy, right?"
Jin Chao
"I just want the Puding tribe to be forgiven by the imperial court and return to the Ming Dynasty." Niu Qi choked and said, "As long as we can get through this, we will live back in the mountains and never come out again."
"Let's see how you perform." Jin Chaoxing nodded and asked someone to take him down.
Then he asked his generals: "What do you think?"
"Master Marquis, we can do this." The generals said, gearing up: "At least this way, they will have to give up their defense line to us, and we will save a lot of brothers from dying."
"Yeah, there's nothing to be afraid of. If you really want to cheat, just do it!"
"Yeah. Don't rush to kill the enemy, be sure to keep a good distance..." Jin Chaoxing nodded slowly.
