Ruan Zhiqing slowly watched them finish their dinner, and then said leisurely: "According to what you just said, Liu Yuexi gathered an army several times your size and suddenly appeared from the Maya Pass, catching Ruan Hong by surprise.
, Liu Yuexi also has very powerful power armor, an Elephant Killer that can be destroyed with just one move, and two Tigers, and their throwing spears are as fast as a rain of swords."
There were other officers in the tent who were surprised to hear such a description, but most of them expressed disbelief. Deserters have their own selfish motives, and people often choose to exaggerate about things they cannot fight against. This is normal. These few
The officers who escaped really had no desire to survive. Ruan Hong was the only member of the Ruan family who held a senior position in the army. Marshal Ruan valued this brother very much. Now that Ruan Hong was defeated, these desperate deserters dared to take responsibility.
Putting it on Ruan Hong’s head, he has no desire to live.
One of the more alert officers wiped his mouth and said: "General Ruan Hong has been resisting vigorously, but there are too many enemies, too strong and too sudden. They are a group of monsters. We got separated from the general and couldn't find him, so we had to
Come back and report the situation to you, Commander-in-Chief."
Ruan Zhiqing nodded, "It was Ruan Hong who asked you to come back to report the news? Where are the others?"
The officer pretended to cry and added: "General Ruan was trapped in the enemy's formation. We were really unable to rescue him and finally got separated."
Ruan Hong looked at the officer and said, "Then Ruan Hong gave the order to retreat."
"No, no, General Ruan Hong is very brave, and we fought back vigorously, but Liu Yuexi is too powerful."
Ruan Zhiqing got the answer he wanted: "Well, very good. The general did not issue a retreat order, but you escaped privately. According to my New South Military Law, what should be the punishment?"
Ruan Zhiqing's adjutant replied: "If you escape before the battle, you will be punished according to military regulations."
"That's it. Come here, take these guys to the ferry, give them a boat, and see if they can get to the other side of the river smoothly. Since they can escape from such a terrifying monster army, they must be lucky. Let them
Go try it."
The officers were dragged out by the guards, and soon no more cries and begging for mercy were heard. The tent was eerily quiet. Everyone was looking at Ruan Zhiqing, who was looking at the military map on the wall and muttering in a low voice.
No one dared to disturb him. After waiting for a long time, his most trusted top lieutenant stepped forward and asked cautiously: "Sir, do you want us to send someone to intercept, and maybe there is a chance to rescue Ruan Hong."
Ruan Zhiqing looked at the map and said: "Currently, only the people from Fuwa are guarding the inner city of Holy Light Fortress. The situation in Yichun is similar. According to our estimates, there will be no more than 5,000 people. The whereabouts of King Yan's main force are unknown.
, Liu Yuexi’s main force here is suspected to have appeared in Maya Mountain and can eliminate Ruan Hong’s tribe. At least it will not be too different from Ruan Hong in terms of scale. Deguang seems to be extremely honest when it comes to Guangso Picton. It’s interesting, you say.
Tell me what they want to do and what their purpose is."
After listening to Ruan Zhiqing's analysis, the deputy general said: "Commander, maybe they want to attack our army's main formation."
"It doesn't mean much. King Yan and Liu Yuexi are the most powerful mobile troops. The terrain near Deguang is not conducive to the advantages of mobile troops. It is too flat and the target of the attack may be easily found by throwing a phaser cannon. No matter it is
Both Liu Beiye and King Yan are known for being coquettish.
With the goal of robbing our army of food and fodder, Liu Yuexi doesn't look like a fool. He must have a big plot to make such a big bet, but for what purpose, I still haven't figured it out."
The deputy general was very worried when he heard this and shouted: "Commander."
Ruan Zhiqing stretched out his hand and said, "Contact Li Yin as quickly as possible. Since Liu Yuexi dares to go out with all his troops, then go and touch his lair. The words must be harsher. He is too cautious."
The deputy general got the order and went to do it quickly. Ruan Hong turned around and stood in front of the sand table, "Give me the order. Each battalion should stop attacking the various ferries in Deguang, retreat three miles, enter our preset position, and dig the anti-horse canal deeper.
.”
It turned out that Ruan Zhiqing had been preparing for a sneak attack, and Liu Yuexi was in trouble.
In the afternoon of that day, Liu Yuexi was the first to arrive at Huwang Mountain, a hill near Deguang. Liu Yuexi stood on a high place and looked from afar. Ruan Zhiqing’s camp was arranged in a very orderly manner, and it was not unethical.
Light the front line and retreat. With the fortifications and obstacles he has built, Liu Yuexi's mobile troops will definitely not be able to do well.
He asked Liu Beiye, who had had several brief contacts with Ruan Zhiqing and fought several small-scale battles, how he evaluated Ruan Zhiqing's tactics.
Liu Beiye gave a very pertinent evaluation, like a tarsal maggot, once it bites, it will be chased and beaten until death.
Liu Yuexi took a breath. The attack was so fierce. Before it was over, Liu Beiye added: "Ruan Zhiqing is probably like Ajie, a special talent with high-level telepathy. So he commanded
The infantry phalanx is much stronger than the average person, and can temporarily change orders while marching without chaos. When fighting against him, it is easy to be fooled by his fake tactics, and by the time you discover it, it is already too late."
Liu Yuexi nodded, "I see. No wonder you only dare to rob his logistics and don't dare to confront him head-on. Okay, follow the plan and plant our army's battle flags all over the facing mountain. If there is any movement,
You have to be bigger and wipe the flower demon clean. It will be our turn to perform in a while. I hope Ajie’s judgment is not wrong."
After a while, Ruan Zhiqing in the camp opposite saw the Han Yulong flags all over the mountain, and frowned. What was this guy going to do? However, not long after, there was a lot of movement on another Dingshan Mountain. It was caused by King Yan.
The banner of the Ministry, what is this for, a confrontation? Logically speaking, the opponent is not so stupid. Ruan Zhiqing’s troops have a clear advantage. If they surround any hill, the opponent will be finished. I am about to try it, and the Du Quang Fortress is
There was a sound coming from the side. Picton, who had not been seen for a long time, also drove out with a group of cavalry in a power armor. Almost all the protagonists of this protracted war have already appeared.
Ruan Zhiqing's adjutant came up to ask for a fight: "My subordinates request to go to war. I will only bring my own troops. I will definitely annihilate Liu Yuexi's men and avenge General Ruan Hong."
Ruan Zhiqing shook his head, "Let's look again, don't worry, it's hard to say how many soldiers Liu Yuexi has hidden in Duangwang Mountain. Don't attack rashly at this time, time is on our side, they can't escape. Send out reconnaissance
Soldier, let me investigate carefully."
On Wangwang Mountain, Liu Yuexi jumped on a tree to look around, and then used a special communicator to contact Liu Jie in Deguang, "Ajie, will Ruan Zhiqing really be fooled? I think your strategy is a bit radical.
, what if you find out."
Ajie, who is serving as a communication node, is busy.
Overjoyed, he said confidently: "Brother Yue, it should be fine. My prediction was not wrong. Ruan Zhiqing has been fooled. Everything is under my control. You can go up and provoke him. Anyway, it will cause some trouble."
Aren't you the best at making noises and scaring him? I'm going to deal with things in Yichun. The distance there is quite far, so I have to concentrate, so you can hold on first."
After saying that, he ignored Liu Yuexi and Wuli stood aside and asked, "Sir, what should we do?"
Liu Yuexi let out a long sigh, "Let them wave the flags harder and sweat more and bleed less. Wuli prepared the flower demon, and asked Aguang, Xiezi and others to prepare too, and we went to call a formation.
.”
On the other side, Ruan Zhiqing, who was discussing tactics with several lieutenants in the military tent, was informed that Liu Yuexi had sent an envoy.
"Oh, where are they?"
The guard replied: "We are waiting in front of the camp gate."
Ruan Zhiqing never had real face-to-face contact with Liu Yuexi, but Liu Yuexi ruined Ruan Zhiqing's good deeds several times. Ruan had a profound influence on him. He could meet Liu's envoy and get to know Liu Yuexi from the side.
This person.
"Okay, bring me my cloak." Several guards were busy for a while. Ruan Shuai strode out of the barracks in formal clothes. When he walked to the entrance of the camp, he was dumbfounded. A middle-aged man in slovenly clothes was squatting in the camp tent.
At the railing, he was nibbling a piece of cake, and his beard was full of cake crumbs. When he saw Ruan Shuai, he stood up quickly, put the remaining cake into his waist bag, patted the cake crumbs on his body, and then wiped it with his mouth.
The movements are natural and smooth, as if there is no one around.
He saluted Ruan Zhiqing and said, "Are you Marshal Ruan?"
Ruan Zhiqing replied: "Exactly."
Then he said: "My Lord Liu asked me to submit a letter for the commander-in-chief to read." After saying this, he handed over the document.
Ruan Zhiqing's personal attendant went over and took the document. Ruan looked at it and said, "I don't know what to call the envoy."
The middle-aged man saluted again, "Sir, my name is Gula, and I am the captain of the Guards Regiment under Mr. Liu."
Ruan Zhiqing said: "Two countries are at war, and you are here to represent the image of one country. The way you dress is undoubtedly like a beggar. It seems that your country is really suffering from external and internal troubles. It was once a country of interests and a country of great kindness, but it has fallen to this
It’s gotten to the point where we don’t even have basic etiquette anymore, which is really sad.”
Gula said: "Our Han Yulong Republic has its own etiquette, and different people have different treatment standards. If they are great sages and heroes from foreign countries, our country will have its own sound of bells and drums, and modest and elegant people will be treated with courtesy."
After all, it’s just a meeting with Marshal Ruan, a peasant soldier like me who has made mistakes. It’s just a letter, that’s enough.”
"How dare you insult my commander-in-chief." The followers around Ruan Zhiqing couldn't bear it. They drew out their swords from their waists and pressed them against Gula's neck, vowing to kill him to relieve Ruan Zhiqing's anger.
Gula was not afraid at all, "My Lord Liu told me before he left that he said a lot of bad things about you, Ruan Shuai, in his letter, basically about your evil deeds in our country. You will probably get angry after reading it,
Kill me."
Ruan Zhiqing asked: "Since I knew you were likely to die, why did you come anyway."
