How could Bai Luoyu not be anxious, but as the commander of an army, he could not let the team fall into a trap for his own selfish desires.
Moreover, he had no one to pass on the news to him, so he did not know the urgency of the situation ahead. His judgment was based on the calm judgment that a commander should have.
However, Gu Nianchen could not wait any longer. If something really happened to Bai's father and mother in Lishu Town, the person Bai Luoyu would never forgive would be himself, and he would live in self-blame for the rest of his life. He absolutely could not let such a thing happen.
"I can't wait any longer. I'll go first." Gu Nianchen said as he rushed out. He had to leave immediately.
"Stop." Bai Luoyu followed him out and wanted to stop Gu Nianchen.
He was really angry. He didn't understand why Gu Nianchen wanted to go against him. He didn't say that he didn't believe him. He just said that he would investigate it first and it wouldn't take long. Why couldn't he wait?
Gu Nianchen didn't stop walking. Bai Luoyu ran a few steps to Gu Nianchen and asked, "What on earth are you going to do?"
"I have to go save Lishu Town. I know you have your difficulties, but I don't want you to regret it." Gu Nianchen stopped and said to Bai Luoyu.
"What are you talking about? How can you be so sure that your inference is correct? I told you to give me some time and I will send troops there after you prove it. Why do you insist on disobeying orders?" Bai Luoyu was almost mad with anger. With so many people watching, he had already made a lot of concessions, but Gu Nianchen was still so stubborn.
"When I come back, I'll let you handle it by military law. Send someone to investigate quickly, because time is running out."
After Gu Nianchen finished speaking, he walked around Bai Luoyu, took a horse, mounted it and ran out of the city. The soldiers did not dare to stop him without Bai Luoyu's order.
"Stop, or I'll shoot." Bai Luoyu raised the gun in his hand and pointed it at Gu Nianchen.
But Gu Nianchen did not stop at all. He knew that the situation this time was much more dangerous than the last time, because Yu Shui must know about the last battle between Baoxing Village and Li Dapao.
So they dared to go because they had made all the necessary preparations, and the troops they sent must be able to absolutely crush Baoxing Village. Gu Nianchen was also a little unsure.
Although Bai Luoyu's tone was fierce, he could understand the worry in it. However, he had no way to tell him the truth. He could only hug him and explain to him after the fight was over.
"Do you want to stop him, Young Marshal?" Wang Xi, who had followed, looked at Bai Luoyu and asked.
"Immediately send someone to check behind the enemy to see if the cavalry is still there, at any cost." Bai Luoyu whispered, retracted the gun in his hand, and turned back to the command room.
"If you ask me, this kind of person shouldn't stay with the young marshal. He will become a nuisance sooner or later." Captain Liu said indifferently.
Everyone else noticed the coldness emanating from Bai Luoyu and didn't dare to argue. Seeing that Gu Nianchen was so determined to leave, they began to wonder if their doubts were unnecessary. Maybe Gu Nianchen really had a natural keen sense of the battle situation.
Besides, everyone knows that Bai Luoyu's parents are in Lishu Town. If the rescue is really delayed because of them, will he still have a good life in the future? Bai Luoyu is not as gentle as he looks.
Captain Liu, however, didn't care at all. Seeing no one paying attention, he continued, "Besides, it was just the last time we helped Lishu Town resist Li Dapao's attack. Li Dapao's soldiers were weak to begin with, so a victory is enough. It's not as impressive as you say."
"It sounds nice to say that they're protecting Lishu Town, but they're actually worried that without Lishu Town's support, Baoxing Village itself wouldn't be able to survive."
"Now that he sees that we have a strong army, he wants to come and join us. Who knows if he is sincere or not? Yu Shui's men have arrived before we have even established ourselves. It's hard to say whether they are colluding with us from within or without."
Seeing that no one paid attention to him, Captain Liu kept talking, and everyone else remained silent.
"Enough." Bai Luoyu shouted loudly, and everyone was startled.
Captain Liu was also a veteran in the army, more than ten years older than Bai Luoyu. He had never been yelled at in front of such a person, and he was embarrassed for a moment.
"Am I wrong? Why are you yelling at me? Is it because he said something bad about the boss Chen that the young marshal is unhappy? I didn't believe it at first, but it seems that the rumors about the affair are true. Bah, it's so fucking disgusting. I quit. I brought the Fifth Regiment here, and we're leaving now. Damn it." The louder Captain Liu spoke, the more he spoke, and he gradually lost his mind.
"You dare? Come here, take away Captain Liu's gun and arrest him to disrupt the morale of the army before the battle. The deputy captain will take over the position of captain and await deployment." After Bai Luoyu finished speaking, the guards at the door rushed in quickly, subdued Captain Liu, and quickly took away his gun.
"Bai Luoyu, you bastard, I have followed you through thick and thin, and you actually took my gun for a whore and want to lock me up. If you have the guts, kill me, bah." Captain Liu was suppressed and cursed.
Bai Luoyu was so angry that veins popped out of his head and his fists were clenched tightly. If he wasn't in this command room with so many people around, he really would have lost control and shot him dead.
He wouldn't get angry when there were different opinions on military matters, but he absolutely couldn't tolerate such irrationality, relying entirely on personal emotions to judge the war, and insulting Gu Nianchen and him.
The soldier simply tore a piece of cloth off his mouth and tied it around his mouth, making it impossible for him to close his mouth. He could only make some inaudible sounds, and then forced him to walk out.
At this moment, the soldiers outside came running over, shouting, "Oh no, Young Marshal! There's movement in the enemy camp. A group of cavalry are galloping towards the north, while others are attacking our house. They're moving very quickly and closing the distance with us."
After hearing the signalman's words, everyone, including Captain Liu who was escorted to the door, was shocked. It was exactly as Gu Nianchen said.
"Notify the cavalry company to set off for Lishu Town, and the third regiment will follow to provide support to Lishu Town." Bai Luoyu did not have time to be shocked by Gu Nianchen's foresight and gave the order decisively.
"The rest of the troops followed the original plan to stop the enemy from attacking the city, spare no ammunition, and fight a quick and decisive battle."
"Yes." Everyone received the order and rushed out to carry it out.
Captain Liu stopped outside the door. The two soldiers were unable to drag him away. He could only hear him shouting intermittently: "Young Marshal, please let me go too. I will make amends for my mistakes."
"Take him away." Bai Luoyu looked at him coldly and uttered three words without any hesitation.
Gu Nianchen was his only exception. Anyone else who dared to disobey his decision would only be subject to military law.
Besides, Gu Nianchen disobeyed orders twice, and in the end the facts proved that he was right. It was just that he could not keep up with Gu Nianchen's thinking.
The most important thing now is not to deal with Captain Liu, but to get rid of the enemies here as soon as possible.
Although it was proven that what Gu Nianchen said was right, the main battlefield was still here. He had to stay here, but he was still anxious in his heart, fearing for Gu Nianchen and Lishu Town.
