"Protector, my subordinates have just spoken and are very rude and apologized to the Protector." When Li Gong said that he would not do this again, Liu Qi breathed a sigh of relief, and realized that the tone of his speech just now was very inappropriate, so he quickly apologized.

"But even if the Protector wants to punish his subordinates, the Protector will not be able to send the protected soldiers away from his side in the future." But before Li Gong could speak, Liu Qi himself said: "The safety of the Protector is related to the entire Anxi, which is far more important than the few soldiers, no, than all the generals and soldiers here at this time, and must not fall into a dangerous place."

Just now, when those seriously injured people were brought up, Liu Qi looked at it and found that Danfu was in the list. His heart immediately raised, worried that Danfu would die in battle, and that several other people he knew were seriously injured. He was grateful to Li Gong for sending people to save them, the soldiers who rescued Danfu and others, and even more praised Li Gong for caring about the lives of the soldiers. But even so, he didn't think Li Gong was right to do this.

"I understand." Li Gong could only agree one more time, and to avoid him continuing to say this, he quickly changed the subject: "Liu Qi, what should I do in the future? Should I withdraw from here immediately, or what?"

"I caught a prisoner on the way down. The man said that the battle was commanded by Saleh himself. My subordinates knew about Saleh's character. Although the strategy of capturing and killing the Protector failed, he would never retreat like this, but instead caused more casualties to our army as much as possible. It was not easy to withdraw under the entanglement of the Great Cannibals, so we had to deal with the attack of the Great Food Army until dark.

But this is exactly what I want." Liu Qi gritted his teeth and said, "This time he was attacked by the Great Cannibal, and he was disturbed by a good worship. The Protector was once in danger. How could he let the Great Cannibal withdraw easily?"

"What are you going to do?" Li Gong asked again.

"The subordinates have sent people to return to the camp, transfer cavalry and naval troops, and ordered the rest of the horses in the camp to gather. The Wang Duwei arranged for infantry who knew horsemanship to come on horseback." Liu Qi replied: "The infantry walks slowly, and I am afraid that they will not be able to arrive until tomorrow morning, so they can only transfer horsemen and naval troops.

Now most of the surrounding hills are still under the control of our army. The Great Food Army only occupies a few, and most of the Great Food soldiers are on that small piece of flat land and along the river road. The subordinates intend to defend the high ground that is still under control, and even send troops to regain the land occupied by the Great Food people, block them from evacuating the road, and annihilate them on the flat ground after the cavalry arrives.

As for the navy, it was to destroy the Great Pirates. Although the Great Pirates could not build large ships for a while, even some small boats were enough to cause trouble to our navy. The subordinates would sink their ships and kill them by the sailors."

"We really need to attack the Dashi Navy." Li Gong echoed, "I am not willing to let the Dashi soldiers go; but our army can dispatch troops to help the war? If the Dashi Army also sends reinforcements, the reinforcements sent far exceed the number of our soldiers? Our army's situation becomes even more unfavorable? What should we do?"

"The distance between the Dashi Army Camp and this place is longer than the distance between our army camp and this place? Our cavalry must arrive first than the Dashi Cavalry. As for the navy, not only is the number of ships far less than our army? It is also small? Even if the entire army arrives, there is no need to care." Liu Qi replied.

When Li Gong heard Liu Qi's words, he had something to ask, but thought that he was not as good as Liu Qi's command, so he swallowed the questions he wanted to ask.

"Do you wave the order flag immediately? Ask if the highlands are attacked by the Dashi Army. If they are attacked by the Dashi Army, then ask if they can defend the highlands." Liu Qi saw that Li Gong no longer asked? First, he ordered the Pujian. He should judge how he should use troops based on the situation of the highlands.

"Yes." Pubing agreed and began to send orders.

"An Wanli, you immediately lead the soldiers of the 66th Regiment back to the 229th Highlands that were originally stationed. I expected that Saleh would not have a surprise attack and see the empty heights again?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   �

"I understand." An Wanli also agreed, turned around and walked down the mountain to execute the order.

"Where is the 219 Highland Guard here?"

"Mu Guangxi, the 43rd Regiment Captain Mu Guangxi? He has met the Protector and Liu." Hearing the screams, the lieutenant immediately came over to salute.

"How are your group of casualties?"

"Nine people died in the entire group of subordinates just now? Twelve people were injured."

"It's quite complete." Liu Qi murmured softly? The idea of ​​sending the 43rd Regiment to retake the 262 Highlands flashed in his mind.

But just one regiment has too few people, and the Great Cannibal must have a tight defense and may not be able to be recaptured; especially he guessed that Saleh was on the 262 high ground at this time, and the garrison would be more tight than he thought, and a regiment could not be recaptured. Although he brought two and a half regiments, the 66th regiment was taken away by An Wanli, and the rest must be protected by Li Gong and cannot be moved lightly.

Thinking of this, he said to Li Gong: "Protector, let's go to the top of the hills to have a wider vision and more conducive to command."

"I think so too." Li Gong said, heading side by side with him.

The two soon arrived at the top of the mountain. Li Gong stood on the edge of the cliff wearing armor and looked around.

The terrain of this place is very interesting. Just now, from the east to the north to the west of Li Gong's worship clearing, more than a dozen hills formed an irregular semicircle to surround it. The eastern end of the semicircle is the 218 highland, almost close to the river bank, and the northwest is the 219 highland where he was at this time, and the 220 highland to the northwest.

But to the northwest, the name will no longer be arranged according to the rules, namely 227 highlands, 228 highlands, 229 highlands, and 232 highlands; to the west, there will be 263 highlands, 262 highlands, 261 highlands, and 260 highlands, and then to the southwest, there will be 277 highlands, 278 highlands, and 279 highlands, all the way to the 280 highlands near the river bank.

He looked for a while and found that at this time, Heights 262 and 261 had been controlled by the Great Food Army, and he was attacking Heights 263 and 260. The number of troops stationed and attacked in various high grounds was not clear. At the same time, there were about 1,500 Great Food Army soldiers in the middle and five regiments led by General Zhao Bie, and more than 1,000 troops were fighting.

"Where are you chasing the Great Food Army of the Protector just now?" Liu Qi asked hurriedly without seeing the Thousand-Man team from his position.

"I can't observe!" everyone said one after another.

‘Saleh must have issued another order to transfer the troops away. It was about to attack the 263 or 260 high ground. The attacks of the Dashi Army in these two high grounds were very unsatisfactory, and the defenders could defend their rewards.’ Liu Qi thought to himself.

"Protector, Liu Dudu, An Bie General, the Dashi Army is indeed attacking the 229th and 232th Heights. Because there are few left-behind soldiers, they have been rushed to the high ground by the Dashi Army. He is fighting with the 229th Heights behind the Hall of the 229th Heights at the foot of the mountain, and wants to attack and destroy the 229th Heights." A pao soldier suddenly shouted.

"The Great Food Army attacked the 229th and 232th highlands at the same time? It's really a big appetite." Liu Qi looked at the two highlands and said to himself: "If these two highlands and 263th highlands are seized, the Great Food Army will occupy five or six highlands connected together and take the initiative. Even if reinforcements come, they will not be able to annihilate them here."

Thinking of this, he would order the 43rd Regiment to rush to support and defend the 232 Highland.

But before his order was expressed, he suddenly heard the Budian say, "Protector, the Great Food Army is attacking the 220 Highland!"

"Highland 220!" Hearing this, Liu Qi immediately turned his head and looked over. The Highland 220 is not only adjacent to the Highland 219, but also the two hills are very close. Looking from his direction, he did not see any attack from the Dashi Army. After a closer look, he found that a man wearing a low-level general-style armor on the hill was waving the order flag, which probably meant that he was attacking by the enemy and requesting support.

'The Dashi Army should have launched an attack on the other side. Maybe I was wrong. The Dashi Thousand People team who was pursuing the Protector just now was transferred to attack the 220 Highlands.' he thought.

"Personnel Mu, you should immediately lead the 43rd Regiment to support." Liu Qi called Mu Guangxi and told him about his revised order. Since the 220th Highland is close to the 219th Highland, there is no need to lose.

"Yes." Mu Guangxi immediately agreed and turned to go down the mountain.

"Tell General Zhao to order him to transfer a regiment to the 219th Highlands." Liu Qi thought for a while and ordered the Pu Bing. General Zhao was the general who led the Zu Army. Just now, the Dashi Army captured the 262th Highlands and rushed into the middle to capture and kill Li Gong. It was he who led the troops to intercept the Dashi Army to pursue him. At this time, General Zhao still led his troops to fight with the Dashi Army on the flatlands, but it was not as fierce as before.

"Which high ground do you want to regain?" Li Gong asked when he saw this. At this moment, all the high grounds that were attacked by the Dashi Army sent troops to support him. At this time, the soldiers were drawn and they were drawn from Zhao Biejiang's command. In his opinion, Liu Qi should have wanted to fight back.

"I asked Zhao Biejiang to transfer a group, not to use this group to regain some high ground." Unexpectedly, Liu Qi actually answered like this.

"Why is that?"

"No matter what the situation is, unless it is at the last moment or has to be sent out, you must have a heel army in your hands. If there is a mistake in some place, you can immediately send troops to support you." Liu Qi said.

‘It was a mistake to send all the troops out in a hurry to rescue you. It was a matter of course. It was very normal to take back a regiment at this time.’ He thought again.

"Also, when my subordinates saw the 220 highland being attacked by the Dashi Army, they always felt something was wrong. The 220 highland was not important except close to the 219 highland, and it was not connected to the highlands controlled by the Dashi Army. There was no need to seize the 220 highland. Unless..."

Liu Qi was just talking when a shop soldier suddenly ran to them and said without even saluting: "Protector, the 218 highland on the southeast side was attacked by the Great Food Army!"
Chapter completed!
