"I've met Lieutenant Liu."

"You guys get up."

"Lieutenant Xie." Xia Chuantao, Renault and Danff saluted and stood up.

"I already know that because you led your troops to fight bravely to the enemy and defend a corner of the village wall. After this battle, you will be in the forefront of the eight soldiers who killed the most enemies in your troops. I will also punish the soldiers who refuse to support him if they do not obey the orders of Wei generals." Liu Qi said first.

"The lieutenant is so serious that his subordinates and others are not brave enough to make meritorious and rewarded, but to avenge their relatives." Xia Chuantao responded.

"Who is not trying to avenge your relatives? If you, the Broken Ye people, would have aroused their revenge, the Anxi Army would have probably never been able to invade Khurashan. But you also have to give you rewards. You don't have to argue. The rewards and punishments in the army must be fair, and you should be rewarded if you have any contributions." Liu Qi finally said in an unquestionable tone.

"Yes." Seeing that Liu Qi's tone was so firm, Xia Chuantao and the other two had to bow and agree. Of course, their refusal was just a habitual statement, not a sincere wish to give it.

"The reward is discussed after the war is over." Liu Qi turned to the topic: "I also heard that the movements of the Dashi Army are a bit strange?"

"It's true." Xia Chuantao replied: "The subordinates and others led hundreds of soldiers to a corner of the village wall and repelled the Dashi Army. After that, the Dashi Army did not rush up and compete for that place again, did not retreat, did not fire stones at us, nor did they rotate, and stayed twenty feet away from that place."

"It's really strange." Liu Qi murmured softly, thought for a while and asked again: "How did the big cannibal do it when a corner of the village was just lost?"

"Lieutenant, it was his subordinates who led their troops to seize a corner of the village wall, and the soldiers of Kang State cooperated. However, the soldiers of Kang State were all killed in battle." Danfu first expressed his merits and then said:

"After the subordinates defeated the Dashi soldiers and seized a corner, it felt like a Dashi soldiers were sent over soon. The centurion led by the leader said a few words to boost morale and led the soldiers to kill us. The subordinates and the soldiers fought for their lives to block it.

But after a while, new big-foot soldiers came again, and the big-foot soldiers fired stones to bombard the reinforcements on our side. The subordinates fought with the big-foot soldiers for a while, and when they were about to die in battle, Renault rushed to support them, and then they could hold on. Later, Captain Xia Chuantao and others supported again. After the big-foot soldiers were defeated, they became what Captain Xia said just now."

"The previous practice has always been normal, why did it suddenly change?" Liu Qi muttered again, and after thinking about it, he could only conclude: "The general Afev, a major food general, believed that it could not be recaptured before the sun completely set, so he planned to fight at night; or escape at night.

You retreat. Hold on in the corner of the village for a while. After a maximum of three cups of tea, I will send three complete groups to replace you." After reaching the conclusion, he raised his head and said to the three.

"Yes." Xia Chuantao and Danfu agreed and were about to retreat.

"Lieutenant, my subordinates ask for something from the lieutenant." But Renault said.

"What's the matter?"

"Lieutenant, my subordinates want to ask the lieutenant that the master of the food, Afev, and two thousand men under his command, Adil and Alayi, if these three men are captured alive, my subordinates request to perform a lingchi trip on them and execute it immediately!" Renault said gritting his teeth.

Afev not only served as the chief general of the garrison of the Thunder Ye Town after Bingbo Silin led the main army to attack Oluzhou, but also one of the culprits of the slaughter of the Thunder Ye City with Hou Meide and slaughtering in the city. Renault hated this man to the core, and in his opinion, Lingchi was not enough to cleanse the man's sins.

"If I can capture him alive, I will definitely execute him Lingchi on the bank of the Wuhu River." Liu Qi agreed immediately.

"The lieutenant's kindness is great, and my subordinates cannot repay it. They can only repay it by killing more soldiers in the future." Renault bent down and even choked up his tone.

"This is not my grace to you, it is what I should do. You don't have to thank me like this. Go back quickly, and dinner will be prepared for you, and you will be able to eat it after you take it down from the wall of the village. In order to reward your hard work, I specially ordered a few more pigs from the other side to only give you soldiers who have made contributions."

"Yes." The three of them agreed and left the tent.

"Lieutenant, the big cannibal's behavior is indeed strange. Most of the subordinates want to escape, but we surrounded the camp and occupied a corner of the village wall. They couldn't even run away." After the three of them left, Zhang Xingquan walked out of the back tent and said to Liu Qi.

After two years of fighting since the Battle of Oluzhou, Zhang Xingquan has been promoted to the commander and become one of the generals in the army. In this battle, he was appointed as the deputy general and "commanded with Liu Qi."

"I also find it very strange. So it's probably because of the night battle to retake it?" Liu Qi was not surprised and said along.

"I think this is most likely."

"Forget it, I won't guess Afeif's thoughts. Let's be prepared for both ways and guard against both situations. Anyway, we have many soldiers." Liu Qi felt it was too brain-intensive and simply didn't think about it.

"What the lieutenant said," Zhang Xingquan laughed and said, "There is a saying in "Sun Tzu": Therefore, the method of using troops is to surround them ten times the number of troops in the Great Veterans. No matter how they fight against Great Veterans, they have no chance of winning."

"Okay, since you have made a decision, there is no need to say more. Go and take my dinner with Duwei Zhang back." Liu Qi said to a guard beside him.

"The lieutenant doesn't have to worry about guarding you." Zhang Xingquan said again: "My subordinates have already ordered people to get it."

As soon as he finished speaking, a guard guarding outside the tent came in and saluted, saying, "Lieutenant, a guard Zhang Duwei asked for a visit, and he was holding a very small object in his hand."

"It must have been delivered to dinner," he smiled.

"Since you are here to deliver supper, just let him come in. I'm just hungry." Liu Qi said with a smile.

...

...

"I finally retreated from the village wall. The wind is so strong that the sun is fine. It's okay during the night, and the wind blows in the wind. Although it's only the end of August, it feels cold. Fortunately, we are not on duty at night." Cao Fangfeng said.

"I told everyone to take a bowl of hot soup and eat it first. I heard that the mutton soup tonight can drive away the cold." Xia Chuantao said.

"It's really mutton soup? You have to eat a few more bowls." Danff said.

"You can't eat too much. Your stomach is so big, and you won't have to eat a few more bowls." Mitt teased.

"You still have the face to talk to me? It seems like you have a small belly." Danff retorted, but because he was indeed the highest among the eight people, he quickly changed the topic: "Mit, I remembered that you were transferred to the 102nd Regiment to command the stone casting cart. Why did you rush up with Uncle Xia and the others to fight with the Great Food Soldiers?"

"The command of the stone throwing cart has no meaning at all." Mitt said: "I just kept shouting slogans and ordered the people to bring the stones. The soldiers pulled the ropes and threw the stones out, repeating them over and over again. It was boring. It would be better to lead the infantry and the Great Food Army to fight in person.

Isn't it interesting to train? You ordered your soldiers to compete with each other, and place a large basket thirty or fifty feet away in front of you. Whoever can throw the stones into it will win? Can't you do this during a battle? Anyway, you won't be too nervous if you don't rush to the front line." Danfu asked again.

"It's completely different. In fact, the catapult cart has no accurate head at all. It can only aim at an approximate position, and the further the distance, the greater the deviation. If it throws thirty feet away, the deviation will be about 2 or 3 zhang; if it throws 50 feet away, the deviation will be about 7 or 8 zhang; if it throws 100 feet away, the deviation will be twenty or 2. No matter how much you practice, it's useless, it's just that the throwing speed is faster."

"So many deviations?" This was the first time Danff knew this.

"Why do you have to throw many catapults in one piece every time? It's because the accuracy is too poor, and you can only make up for the accurate one. One hundred catapults can throw at the same time, and one or two of them are accurate. Once, Lieutenant Liu inspected my ball and muttered something about 'geometry', 'cannon' and other words, but I didn't understand."

"Since you don't have the correct idea and practice is useless, why do you let your soldiers compete?" Cao Fangfeng asked curiously.

"Just have some fun. Otherwise, it would be too boring to throw stones repeatedly."

They were talking, and had returned to the temporary camp. They were about to ask about their residence tonight, and one of them had already come up and said to them: "You are Captain Xia Chuantao, Captain Danfu..."

"That's right." Xia Chuantao walked over and said.

"Come here with me, the lieutenant's headquarters is located on the east side of the camp."

"Thank you, this person," Xia Chuantao asked hurriedly.

"I am Lieutenant Liu's escort, and you don't need to know your name." The man said, and had already walked eastward.

"Thank you, thank you." Xia Chuantao thanked again and asked for his name again, but looked up and saw that he had walked away, so he had to give up his plan and hurriedly follow him.

The guard quickly took them to the base and left immediately.

"This man feels so strange, not like Lieutenant Liu's guard. I have no impression of him either." Cao Fanghao said when the man left.

"What if he doesn't matter who he is? As long as this is our base, it's good." Danff didn't care about this person. He looked around and confirmed that no one was living there, so he began to settle down. Others no longer thought about it when they saw this.
