Bright Sword: Stop pretending, I am the most powerful warlord

Two hours later, there was a hint of paleness in the sky.

The rising sun began to disperse the coldness of the night, and the breeze blowing from time to time took away the gunpowder smoke left outside Qingxu City.

Wu Qianli, who walked out of the headquarters, went straight to the tower, with light steps, not wanting to wake up any of the soldiers.

"Wu Tuan."

The soldier on duty saw Wu Qianli coming and wanted to say hello, but Wu Qianli stopped him.

After several days of fighting and the long journey, all the soldiers were exhausted.

But everyone knew that the real battle had just begun, and the time left for them to rest was actually only a few hours.

He waved at the soldier and called the soldier to his side.

"Has there been any news from the forward observation post so far?"

Although the large forces have entered the city now, it is far from the time to relax.

Outside Qingxu City, Wu Qianli set up a forward observation post every two miles. Once they found the enemy approaching, they would send a reminder to the rear through signal flares.

In addition, the cavalry battalion, which hadn't played much role in these few battles, was also sent out by Wu Qianli.

They were ordered to disperse within a ten-kilometer range of Qingxu, and if they found any traces of the enemy, they would come back and report immediately.

"Not yet!" The soldier shook his head and said, "Commander Wu, our regiment commander said that this time our task is to stick to Qingxu for five days, right?"

Wu Qianli patted him on the shoulder: "The superior ordered it like this, but everything depends on the actual situation."

The soldier nodded: "Commander Wu, I'm a rough man, I don't know the art of war and strategy."

"I heard from our regiment leader that the deputy commander-in-chief is playing big chess this time, but I don't understand why we came all the way here to fight devils this time."

"Even if we win this battle, we won't be able to hold on."

Wu Qianli chuckled and sat down cross-legged.

"Sometimes fighting is not just about conquering lost cities, sometimes it's an attitude, it's a determination."

"I ask you, if someone bullies you, but everyone knows you can't beat him, what would you do?"

The soldier was silent for a while and said: "If I can't beat him, then I have to fight him hard, otherwise he will continue to bully me in the future."

"I'd rather be beaten to death by him than be bullied by him all the time."

Wu Qianli nodded: "Isn't that the truth?"

"Now the little devils are bullying us, and the Western powers are also watching us. They call us the sick man of East Asia, and they all think that China is easy to bully."

"Jin Sui Army, with bald heads, although they talk about beating devils, but in fact we have all seen it, it's just lip service."

"The current China is suffering from internal and external troubles, and the people of the whole country are shrouded in the dark clouds of war, so we have to fight this battle, use the guns in our hands, the cannons in our hands, and use a big victory to break through the dark clouds."

The soldier blinked his eyes and looked at Wu Qianli half understanding.

Wu Qianli smiled and patted him on the shoulder without explaining too much.

At this moment, there was a rush of horseshoes, and Wu Qianli got up and walked to the edge of the city to check.

At this time, Sun Desheng and several cavalry were galloping towards them.

Wu Qianli's face darkened, he knew that something serious must have happened to Sun Desheng when he came back at this time.

"Commander Wu"

Wu Qianli turned around: "Be vigilant, follow the signal flares."

After finishing speaking, Wu Qianli quickly walked down the tower and came to the gate of the city.

"Appreciate~"

Seeing Wu Qianli standing at the gate of the city, Sun Desheng quickly grabbed the rope and got off his horse.

"Captain."

Just as Sun Desheng was about to finish speaking, he was interrupted by a look from Wu Qianli.

The soldiers are still resting now. If Sun Desheng's information is revealed at this time, the soldiers at the gate of the city will definitely spread it immediately.

At that time, the fighters who have just rested will be awakened immediately, without sufficient rest, which is not conducive to the next battle.

"Go back to the headquarters first, and go and call Commander Ding and Commander Li."

"Yes!" Sun Desheng replied, and then mounted his horse again.

When Wu Qianli returned to the headquarters, Ding Wei, Li Yunlong and Sun Desheng had already arrived. At this time, the expressions on the faces of the three of them were very heavy.

"Tell me what you have found?" Wu Qianli walked to his seat and asked.

Sun Desheng stood up: "The enemy is coming, and they will reach the territory of Qingxu before noon today."

"Is the deployment of troops and firepower clear?" Ding Wei asked.

Sun Desheng glanced at Wu Qianli, and then said: "The strength of the army is about two regiments. Besides, there are three tanks, and there are heavy firepower!"

"The tanks have been dispatched, the little devil has done a lot of tricks this time!" Ding Wei said with a frown.

Wu Qianli nodded: "Qingxu is too close to Taicheng, now we are like a nail in Yoshio Shinozuka's heart."

"Yoshio Shinozuka will not leave us alone, and it is reasonable to dispatch such a force."

Li Yunlong nodded slightly: "Fortunately, we have Qing Xu as the backing, three regiments, more than 6000 people before and after, such a force to fight against the devils and two regiments, in the case of not losing to the devils in light and heavy firepower, it still has some advantages .”

"If it's just an ordinary battle, I completely agree with your idea!" Wu Qianli said: "But the problem is that we need to persist here for five days, and this time is likely to be extended."

"This is a battle with an uncertain time and no support, so in every battle, we have to keep casualties to a minimum."

Ding Wei echoed: "Wu Qianli is right!"

"Now there are two wings, but there may be two brigades, or even two divisions in the future. If we don't plan carefully, we won't be able to survive when the superior orders us to retreat."

"Then what do you say now? Take the initiative to attack or not hold on?"

Ding Wei immediately said: "Does this need to be said? If it is me, I will choose to stick to it."

"We are defending the city this time. As long as we defend the city, it's okay to be a bastard once. We have to think about the overall situation."

Li Yunlong turned to look at Wu Qianli: "Wu Qianli, you are the commander-in-chief among us, what's your attitude?"

Wu Qianli frowned. From the perspective of the overall situation, Ding Wei's suggestion is the most suitable for the current situation, and he also agrees.

"Since there is a city as a guarantee, I also think it's better to wait for work at leisure, so I support Captain Ding's proposal."

Just as Wu Qianli finished speaking, another cavalryman hurried in.

"Commander, there are enemies!"

Wu Qianli was taken aback: "An enemy again?"

The soldier nodded: "A large number of devils suddenly appeared in the direction of Taicheng. It is conservatively estimated that there are at least two brigades of troops."

"What?" Ding Wei and Li Yunlong stood up at the same time with serious faces.

Wu Qianli's face darkened, and his expression became serious.

Enemies coming from two directions at the same time, this is quite a test for them!
