This time, Gu Nianchen just listened quietly without saying a word, which made Bai Luoyu uncomfortable. He glanced at him several times, as if he was afraid that Gu Nianchen would do something bad.

After everything was arranged, Bai Luoyu asked everyone to go out and prepare, then asked, "Brother Chen, do you have any objections?"

"No, I don't understand either. I'm just listening for fun." Gu Nianchen sat there and waved his hands.

"I don't believe you. If a fight breaks out, stay close to me and don't run around. Bullets have no eyes on the battlefield. It's different from a fight between you bandits." Bai Luoyu couldn't help but remind him.

"Don't worry, I will be your personal guard captain. I will follow you even when you go to the toilet." Gu Nianchen teased.

"That's not necessary." Bai Luoyu slammed the table angrily and walked out. Gu Nianchen followed him out, just as he said, not leaving his side for a moment.

Bai Luoyu only had a brief moment of discomfort, but then he got used to it. He had to get used to it because Gu Nianchen followed him too closely.

The people from the second regiment here have gathered at the city gate, and will rush out directly when the enemy's attack is within range.

Yu Shui's troops were coming for Bai Luoyu this time. They had already done the reconnaissance beforehand, so they brought all the siege cannons and other equipment with them.

Bai Luoyu cannot defend the city wall like Li Dapao did at that time. He must take the initiative to attack, otherwise once the city wall is knocked down by cannons, he will be in an even more passive position.

Gu Nianchen felt that all these arrangements were the best choices, so he just listened without giving any opinions and would respond accordingly during the war.

At the same time, Gu Nianchen also sent out 218. At this time, 218 could only be used as a drone, otherwise it would be too difficult to seize the initiative in this era of slow information transmission.

Yu Shui's troops were resting near a fork in the road. 218 was lying on a big tree, watching the movements of Yu Shui's troops, feeling very depressed.

There is nothing delicious in this world, no rabbit food or canned rabbit food, so it doesn't want to come out at all.

But it turns out that this world is the one where it is most active, and the signalman bunny 218 has navigated for you on the front line.

An hour passed and it was completely dark, but Yu Shui's troops still hadn't arrived. Bai Luoyu and Wang Xi were both a little confused.

"What's going on? It's already dark, and they haven't come yet? You know, they have to march a long distance to fight. What good will it do them if they don't end the battle quickly?" Wang Xi scratched his head. He really didn't understand the meaning of the other party's actions.

"Want to come back when we're slacking off?" one of them said.

"Nonsense, we are not blind. We all know they are not far away. How could we let our guard down?" another person retorted.

"Then why do you say that?"

Several people were talking at once, making a lot of noise. Bai Luoyu slammed the table and said, "Quiet."

Everyone shut up at the same time. Gu Nianchen just sat there. He was also a little confused, so he shouted 218 in his mind.

【Go to their camp and listen to what they want.】

[Okay, Nianchen-kun.] 218 then wandered over.

Bai Luoyu saw Gu Nianchen sitting there with his eyes closed, thinking that he was tired and that it must be uncomfortable for him to sit like this with injuries on his body. Just as he was about to ask him to go and rest, he saw Gu Nianchen suddenly open his eyes.

"They're sending troops to Pear Tree Town. Hurry, or it will be too late."

Gu Nianchen's words shocked everyone present. Firstly, he spoke suddenly, and the news was such explosive.

"How do you know? Do you have clairaudience or clairvoyance?" Wang Xi questioned.

"They're keeping their distance now because they know we have spies watching us, but they wouldn't dare get too close. From where they're stationed, they can only see the troops in front. They've also deliberately set up tents to conceal the cavalry battalion in the rear. Once night falls, one brigade will pretend to attack Hushan City, but in reality, the cavalry company will have already taken men to attack Lishu Town. If Lishu Town is captured, we'll be held hostage, with disastrous consequences."

Gu Nianchen stood up, pointed to the map on the table, and explained that he had listened to all the front-line reports just now, but just did not participate in the discussion.

Now he is using the report just received from the spy to support his judgment.

218 arrived at the camp, and the arrangements inside had come to an end, but Gu Nianchen still deduced the other party's strategy from sporadic words.

"Your inference is possible, but it's just an inference. If the army sends some people to protect Lishu Town because of your inference, and the enemy takes advantage of this opportunity to launch a large-scale attack, wouldn't we be at risk of dispersing our forces and being wiped out one by one by them?" One of the older regimental commanders questioned.

The distrust in his tone was obvious. He had always had a grudge against Gu Nianchen and felt that the siege that day was just Gu Nianchen's luck. Military orders are like mountains, and having such disobedient people in the army will sooner or later become a disaster.

Now that the war is approaching, and Gu Nianchen is making such far-fetched inferences to disrupt the morale of the army, he bluntly refutes him. He has fought in wars for many years and he doesn't believe that so many people are not as knowledgeable about military tactics as a bandit like him.

"Old Liu is right. This is indeed possible." Someone echoed.

"Master Chen, I know you have good martial arts skills, but leading troops in battle is not like your bandit fights. It requires rules and regulations, and you have to be responsible for the team. It's not as simple as you say."

"That's right. Fighting a war depends on gathering military intelligence and making pre-battle plans. You can't just rely on guesswork."

"That's not..."

Several people were arguing with each other, refuting Gu Nianchen, but Gu Nianchen ignored them.

After all, although some of them followed Bai Luoyu to fight, it didn't mean that they shared the same ideas as Bai Luoyu. They just followed Bai Luoyu so that they could eat meat.

Lishu Town has nothing to do with them. They don’t care whether it is destroyed or not, so they don’t want to make any unnecessary moves.

Bai Luoyu didn't say anything, but thought in his heart. The moment Gu Nianchen said that, he also felt that this possibility was very high, otherwise it would be difficult to explain the other party's purpose of resting in the same place for such a long time.

But as Captain Liu said, there was no actual evidence to support Gu Nianchen's judgment, as the spies ahead had not discovered any news of the other side splitting up and setting off.

If I only listen to Gu Nianchen's words at this time and believe what he says, it will be difficult to convince everyone.

We are at a stalemate and cannot make any judgment.

"Give me a horse. I must return to Lishu Town immediately so that the main force can hold on again. I will bring the brothers from Baoxing Village to defend it again." Gu Nianchen knew Bai Luoyu's difficulties, but time waits for no one. 218 has sent back news that the enemy's cavalry has begun to sort out ammunition and prepare for a light assault.

If he didn't set off quickly, it would be too late. The reason he needed a horse was to hide from others.

In fact, he had to use the teleportation talisman to go there in order to deploy defenses in advance. Otherwise, if he really rode back on horseback, he would probably see an empty city.

"No, it's too dangerous. I'll send someone to investigate again. If we find any movement from them, we'll take a shortcut back to Lishu Town." Bai Luoyu flatly refused.
