Chapter 441 Guessing the Situation
Xiao's army crossed the river and headed south, arriving at the last quarter of the evening on the twelfth day!
Three miles south of the beach, there is a deserted village where we can stop for a rest and take shelter from the rain!
In the thatched cottage, Xiao Wei was trying to find a way out. Thinking about all the subsequent arrangements, he looked very worried.

Suddenly, Yuan Ping made a rare speech, saying that Qi Gang's pre-buried wire piles were outside the city of Jinan!
When Xiao heard this, he responded with a wry smile.

"Hehehe"

"Brother Yuan has a good memory!"

"Yes! It's true!"

"Well, just before we entered the village, I had already sent Chang Ting to go there personally!"

"When he comes back, maybe we'll have some clues, or at least a definite plan!" Xiao Wenlai said.

But when he heard it, Leng Huchen, who was standing next to him, turned around and interrupted.

"Hey!"

"So that's it!"

"Hey! I'm talking to the commander-in-chief!"

"Since it has been arranged in advance, then... then why are you still frowning and worrying about it now?!" Hu Chen said rashly.

"Humph!"

"Who can be as tolerant as you?"

"You're still trying to persuade me!"

"When has our commander ever fought an unprepared battle?!"

"If everyone is like you, not knowing how to do anything but charging headfirst, humph!"

"If our entire army is stationed on the north bank, it will be wiped out in one battle!"

“How could this day come to pass?!” Peizhong saw the opportunity and moved 10%!
"Hey! You" Upon hearing this, Heisi Huchen was choked and his eyebrows were raised!

But it can be engraved like this!
Just when Sun and Li were arguing, General Xiao Lang was about to step in to stop them!
Suddenly!

Amid the sound of heavy rain outside, someone called out to come into the house!

"warlord--"

"warlord!"

"We're back!"

Following the sound, Xiao Jingchuan no longer cared about the fire in the house. He stood up, opened the door again and looked outside!

Just look outside the courtyard in the alley not far away through the rain, and you will see the unlucky star, Mr. Liu, and a small team of scouts rushing back to the village!
He dismounted in front of the yard and walked towards the house!
"Hehehe!"

"You two, after all this time away, you finally come back!"

Seeing the two generals getting closer, Xiao Jingchuan went inside the door to greet them, made way for the entrance, and pulled the two men in one by one.

"hey-hey."

"Hey, Commander!"

"It was windy and rainy on the road, so our journey was delayed a bit!" Death Star panted heavily and responded at the same time.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter!"

"quick!"

"Tell me quickly, is there any unusual movement outside the city gate of Jinan right now?!"

Xiao was anxious to get the news, and ignored everything else for the time being.

Hearing the commander-in-chief's urgent words, Death Star did not delay and stood still to respond.

"Ah! Commander-in-Chief!"

"We followed orders and walked east and west to see the defenses of Jinan from the north, east and west!"

"Sure enough, we found traces of the enemy attacking the city!"

"Well, before we go, the commander-in-chief has also given orders!"

"Don't let the city guards know where we are!"

“I remember all this!”

"So, when I got to the gate, I crawled around to avoid being exposed, and finally got to the bottom of the gate with two good men!"

"Everywhere I looked, there were corpses and pieces of flesh, a mess!"

"And I've seen that there are still many dead bodies that haven't completely stiffened yet!"

"I think it will only take three to five hours for him to die at most!"

"In order to ensure the accuracy of the information, Mr. Liu and I met in the north and then searched for the enemy's hoof prints and wheel tracks, and ran west for more than 20 miles!"

"We didn't see any enemy activity, so we rode back!" Death Star reported truthfully.

After hearing and seeing this, Xiao Wei was thinking about it, but unexpectedly, the careless Heisu Huchen took the lead and rushed over to shout!

"oh?!"

"Fuck it!"

"It seems that Bahana has really found a boat and raft to cross the water!"

"warlord!"

"How do you do that?!"

"We are going west to find out the truth!"

"Let's quickly join forces in Jinan and then make plans later?" Hu Chen said rashly. Xiao frowned and waved his hand to stop him.

"Don't worry, brother Huchen!" They turned their heads and looked at the two generals who were about to go out.

"Death Star, how is the defense situation of the four passes in Jinan?!"

"Is there any damage to the city walls?!"

Xiao Lang was thoughtful and did not rush to make rash plans, but instead followed up to inquire about the details!

Upon hearing this, the star of misfortune came to help.

"Ah! Back to the Overseer!"

"From what we have seen, the city walls of Jinan are fine!"

"The defenders on the city wall look very alert from a distance!"

"Even if the enemy attacks the city, the scale of the attack is not expected to be that large!"

“Jinan is fine!”

"Don't worry!" Death Star replied.

After he finished speaking, Xiao Jingchuan nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.

"kindness!"

"That's great!"

"To the west." He raised his eyes and looked at the heavy rain outside the house with worry.

"Ugh!"

"Generals Duan Hongcai and Gao Hu were originally sent with 500 soldiers to guard the northern bank of Changqing!"

"But judging from the situation now, Hongcai and Gao Hu might have been attacked a long time ago!"

"If they really retreat westwards calmly, it will be difficult for Bahana to raise the boats and equipment to send the soldiers across in a short time!"

"call--"

"I hope they are safe!" The lives of the two deputy generals of the Xiao faction are in danger.

Upon hearing this, Hu Chen became even more impatient. He took two steps forward and continued to fight for his chance!
"warlord!"

"If it doesn't work, how about I take five hundred and go west to explore?!"

"Seeing the enemy's movements clearly will give us more confidence in the remaining deployments!" Hu Chen volunteered blindly.

But Xiao Yi was determined not to give in.

"Not urgent!"

"Uh"

"Since the enemy is heading west, Changqing, Feicheng and other places are no longer safe!"

"We have limited manpower right now, and our men and horses are exhausted. We all need to rest urgently!"

"It's better not to divide our forces in vain any longer!"

"Wait a little longer, wait a little longer."

While speaking, Xiao Lang couldn't help locking his eyes on the courtyard outside the door, intending to wait for Changting to come back!

But this time, both Huchen and Peizhong couldn't keep their composure!

The two of them were like two stubborn donkeys tied to a millstone, not getting along with each other, glaring at each other, and making circles in the room!

Time flies by!

It took about another quarter of an hour!
In front of the courtyard gate, Gu Changting's figure finally appeared!

Under the torrential rain and storm, puddles of varying sizes accumulated in many places in the village!
It followed the ditches created by the trampling of vehicles and horses, and poured down horizontally and vertically into the nearby low-lying areas!
"drive--"

Suddenly!
At the entrance of the village alley, a rider came riding back!

The four hooves dotted the puddles, splashing mud all over, and it galloped towards the thatched cottage where Xiao Lang and the generals were, approaching quickly!

"warlord--"

"General!" Chang Tingkan arrived at the courtyard, jumped off his horse, and shouted in the rain!

"quick!"

"come on in!"

"."

"Oh, forget about that horse for now!"

"Be quick!"

Xiao Jingchuan looked anxious and eager to find out what was going on!

Seeing that it was Changting who had returned, he hurriedly shouted at him to quicken his pace!

At the same time, the Death Star in the house saw that it was the commander-in-chief who was getting impatient, and he also showed his insight. He quickly slipped out of the house and ran into the yard in the rain, took the reins of Changting's horse, and pushed the silly Changting inside!

Chang Ting was slightly stunned and still didn't understand what was going on!
But seeing that Xiao Lang was calling him urgently, he simply stopped talking and hurried into the house!

"Ah! Overseer!"

"I'm back!"
