Chapter 120 Deserter
Seeing Captain Qian coming out, the patrol soldier immediately stepped forward to salute and reported to Captain Qian that Ye Xiaoyong had escaped in the middle of the night.
"You are courting death! My warning to you last time was not enough. You actually dare to run away again?!" Upon hearing this, Captain Qian felt a black screen before his eyes. He was also responsible for not disciplining his soldiers properly since they did such a thing.
"Sir, I was bewitched by Captain Song. It's not my fault, sir..."
At this point, he still dared to quibble. Qian Qianhu was so angry that he kicked Ye Xiaoyong in the heart and knocked him to the ground. "Being a deserter is a death penalty. Do you know that the death penalty!"
Ye Xiaoyong's eyes widened immediately, and cold sweat broke out on his back. He was really scared this time. Regardless of the dull pain in his chest, he immediately knelt down and crawled to Qian Qian's feet: "Sir, Qian Qian, please save me. I really didn't mean to run away. Please save me..."
"You've made such a big noise, how do you expect me to save you this time?!" Qian Qianhu looked at him like this, and his anger grew even stronger. "Tie him up first, and let the general make the decision at dawn!"
"Captain Qian, I really didn't want to run away. It was Captain Song who forced me to run away. I was bewitched by him. It was Captain Song... He wanted to defect to North Vietnam, he wanted to take revenge on Ye Ze, well..."
Before Ye Xiaoyong could finish his words, the soldiers covered his mouth and took him away.
Captain Qian frowned. It turned out that the person who escaped with him was Song Minghao. Not only did he want to defect to North Vietnam, but he also wanted to take revenge on General Ye?
With such a big thing, Qian Qian would naturally inform General He Chengfeng as soon as possible.
At daybreak, the patrol soldiers who went to chase Song Minghao returned to the barracks dejectedly. It was too dark and there were trees in the mountains and forests blocking their way. In addition, Song Minghao's martial arts skills were not weak and he wanted to escape. How could they catch him?
In order to avoid being implicated, Deputy General Qin immediately severed his relationship with Song Minghao and promised He Chengfeng that he would personally capture him.
The news of the public execution of the deserter spread quickly in the military camp. When they learned that the deserter was Ye Xiaoyong, the Ye family members felt ashamed. They really couldn't understand why Ye Xiaoyong would run away after the border town was recaptured?
Ye Changqing bluntly said that Ye Xiaoyong was not a member of their Ye family, he was just a stepson. He had no Ye family blood in his bones, so how could he be considered a member of their Ye family!
Needless to say, Ye Xiaoyong's fate was inevitable. If military regulations were not strict enough, it would be difficult to convince the troops, and the only fate for a deserter who was caught was death!
the other side,
After two consecutive mistakes, the border town was captured, and the troops were lost, Xiao Yunting lost all face. How could he easily give up attacking Dayu? If he gave up so easily this time, he would never have the chance to compete with Mu Heng in his life!
In the meeting tent, Xiao Yunting pondered over the tactics of the Yu army that day many times according to his memory, but still couldn't get the point. In frustration, he swept the teacup on the long table, and with a "bang", the fragments flew everywhere.
At this time, a soldier under his command came to report: "General, there is a general of the Yu army outside the camp who wants to surrender!"
Xiao Yunting was surprised when he heard this. Why would the generals of the Yu army come to surrender at this time? Is there a trick? "Bring the people into the tent first!"
"Yes!"
The soldier left the tent and returned in a moment, followed by Song Minghao, who looked disheveled.
"Greetings, General Xiao!" Song Minghao knelt on his knees with his fists clasped.
"You want to surrender?" Xiao Yunting leaned lazily on the back of the chair, and swept his scrutinizing eyes over Song Minghao, "Who are you? Raise your head."
"General Xiao, I am Song Minghao, a captain of the Yu army." Song Minghao looked up and met Xiao Yunting's sharp eyes like an eagle, and his heart couldn't help but become nervous.
"Oh?" Xiao Yunting raised the corners of his lips slightly, "How can this general believe your intention to surrender?"
"General Xiao, I am willing to help you retake the border town!" Song Minghao immediately showed his sincerity and knocked his head heavily to the ground.
Xiao Yunting glanced at him, sneered and said indifferently: "Oh, Captain Song means that there is no one in North Vietnam? I still need a small enemy captain like you to come to help!"
"No, no," Song Minghao explained in a panic, "General Xiao has misunderstood. Victory and defeat are common in the military. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle. I am willing to contribute the tactics of the Yu army to General Xiao and give him a helping hand!"
Xiao Yunting lowered his eyes and said nothing.
Song Minghao had no choice but to bite the bullet and explain the formation and usage of the Long Snake Formation. Finally, he said, "That day when Deputy General Mu was defending the city, the vanguard soldiers used this formation!"
Xiao Yunting suddenly raised his eyes to look at Song Minghao, muttering: "Long Snake Formation? Oh, I didn't expect that after more than 20 years, Mu Heng has become more capable and figured out such a powerful tactic..."
"General, the one who developed this tactic was not Lieutenant General Mu, but someone else, the newly promoted young general Ye Ze of the Yu Army. His ability to lead troops is definitely comparable to that of Lieutenant General Mu. They joined forces to deal with General Xiao, and that's why General Xiao didn't realize their plan for a moment." Song Minghao said hurriedly.
Isn't it Mu Heng? Xiao Yunting was surprised, but he didn't show it on his face, "Young general? Interesting, huh..."
Seeing that Xiao Yunting had taken his words to heart, Song Minghao immediately continued: "General, if we can control Ye Ze to serve the North Vietnamese..." Facing Xiao Yunting's sharp eyes, Song Minghao gritted his teeth and continued: "I have a way to control Ye Ze to join the North Vietnamese, would you like to hear it, General?"
Song Minghao's method of controlling Ye Ze to defect to North Vietnam was extremely despicable, and Xiao Yunting simply disdained to use such insidious means.
But he was really curious about the battle formation, and finally nodded and agreed to Song Minghao's method.
He did this just to attract talents for North Vietnam. Once Ye Ze defected to North Vietnam, he would naturally not treat him unfairly.
Well, your idea is quite nice, but have you ever thought about whether the other person is willing?
......
On the Yu army side, He Chengfeng gathered all the generals to sit in the tent to discuss matters.
He Chengfeng rubbed his forehead in annoyance, "This battle is so damn frustrating. Xiao Yunting is like a loach. He runs away when he can't win. Who knows when he will suddenly get the urge to provoke us. We can't just keep wasting time with him, can we?"
It has been almost two months since the last war. The wounded soldiers in the camp have long recovered from their injuries, and the soldiers who can no longer fight in the battlefield have been given pensions and sent home.
However, there was still no movement from the North Vietnamese side. They neither proposed a truce between the two armies nor took the initiative to provoke a war. Now that Song Minghao has defected to the North Vietnamese, he will definitely reveal the matter about Ye Ze to Xiao Yunting. If Xiao Yunting can think of a way to crack it, then Ye Ze's newly developed formation will lose its advantage.
"General, why don't we ask the Emperor to send more troops to the border so that we can take the initiative and attack?"
"This is a good idea. We can't always be forced to defend!"
The other generals expressed their agreement.
He Chengfeng subconsciously looked at Mu Heng: "What do you think, Deputy General Mu?"
