Chapter 244: Into the Breeze
With the escort battalion and the scout battalion, I chased the butt of the defeated tribal army, and swept towards the Golden Horde camp three miles away.
The Golden Horde had already discovered us, but they had lined up 10,000 cavalry outside the camp, and when we were still a mile from them, they began to counter-charge.
I made a whistle, and the two battalions of cavalry of the guard battalion and the scout battalion suddenly separated, I took the escort battalion to the left, and Chen Qinglong took the scout battalion to the right, and surrounded the cavalry of the Golden Horde from the left and right.
The two battalions of Feisha and Feihu behind him had already formed a charging formation and were heading towards the Golden Horde.
A dense array of arrows flew out of the camp, but they were all directed towards the charging Flying Sand and Flying Tiger battalions.
Soon we were flanked by the Golden Horde cavalry, and the men of the escort battalion drew their bows and arrows and shot at the charging Golden Horde cavalry.
A cavalry army of several thousand men rushed out of the Golden Horde camp and headed straight for the guard battalions and scout battalions on the left and right.
I smiled, turned my horse and left.
The cavalry, which was coming towards us, numbering about two thousand horsemen, pursued us closely, and when they reached a mile from the main battlefield, the escort battalion dispersed, formed a large semicircle, turned back, and began to counter-charge the pursuing cavalry.
Five thousand against two thousand, almost one in the face, the opposite side fell for the most part, and only a few hundred horsemen penetrated the encirclement, and returned to their horses behind us to stand.
The officer on the other side raised his saber and shouted, "Golden Horde, charge!"
I pursed my lips and said, "Silly fork!"
It's really stupid, and the cavalry of the five thousand guard battalions has already pulled up their strong bows and waited.
There was a burst of fire, and none of the remaining hundreds of Golden Horde cavalry were on horseback.
I looked back at the Flying Tiger and Flying Sand camps, they had already rushed into the Golden Horde camp, and Chen Qinglong was still flying the kite of the Protoss Cavalry with the scout camp, and immediately shouted with a smile: "Sons, rush into the Golden Horde camp and light their tents. ”
......
......
When they returned to Qingfeng City, the Workers' Battalion and the Taozhi Battalion had already taken up their positions under the city.
An old man in a top hat and a splendid costume rode on a tall horse, looking forward to us, and behind him stood a hundred and ten soldiers in armor and armor, lined up in a procession, holding their swords.
I rode up to the old man and looked at him.
He smiled and arched his hand: "Taoyuan General Xu Jinyue?"
I arched my hand and said, "Didn't ask?"
The old man smiled and said, "I am Chen Gongjin, the second assistant of the cabinet, and I specially came to welcome Taoyuan Tieqi into the city. ”
I nodded, the name I had heard somewhere.
He smiled at the moment and said: "It turned out to be Lord Cifu, and we only had 5,000 musketeers and 3,000 artillery from the Engineer Battalion this time, as well as 100 cannons. The infantry and cavalry will return to the Sunset Mountain defense line in a while. ”
Chen Gongjin was stunned for a moment, and looked back at the industrial camp carrying muskets and pushing artillery, and his face was obviously a little unhappy.
I waved to Wu Youliang behind me, and Wu Youliang hurriedly stepped forward.
I smiled and said to Chen Gongjin: "This is the chief of staff of my Taoyuan Army, the industrial battalion that galloped to Qingfeng City, led by him. ”
Chen Gongjin waved his hand, there was no smile on his face, and he said with a straight face: "Under such a difficult situation in the Jingdong Army, 50,000 cavalry troops have been sent to help Qingfeng, and there is no war in the direction of Sunset Mountain, so you will send such a few people?"
I smiled and said, "Lord Cifu, the Fengwu Plain has just been ravaged by the Protoss Army, and it is still in the recovery period, there are 400,000 Protoss troops outside this Qingfeng City, if they don't stick to Sunset Mountain, what if they send an army to attack the Fengwu Plain again?"
Wu Youliang continued: "Lord Cifu, there are already 200,000 troops in Qingfeng City, even if we send 50,000 people, where will we be stationed?"
Chen Gongjin sighed and said, "The Qingfeng defenders have been fighting with the Protoss army for several months, and the rest is less than 50,000. ”
I was taken aback and looked at Chen Gongjin with some confusion.
This Qingfeng City is several feet high, and the equipment to defend the city is sufficient, how can it lose so much?
Chen Gongjin looked at us with a puzzled expression, and had no choice but to say: "What General Xu said is also reasonable, so let's do it, General Xu personally led the army to stay in Qingfeng City, and let this Chief of Staff Wu go back to Sunset Mountain." ”
Chen Qinglong listened to it in the back, and hurriedly said, "General Xu, don't." ”
Wu Youliang also said: "Lord Cifu, General Xu is the commander of the Taoyuan Army, you can't leave the defense line!"
I smiled and waved my hand, and said, "Just do as Lord Cifu said, the escort camp and the scout camp will stay, and Wu Youliang will lead the infantry cavalry army, and immediately set off and return to Sunset Mountain to defend it." ”
Wu Youliang wanted to say something more, but I returned to the horse and whispered: "It seems that Qingfeng City, or the cabinet, is not very at ease with the Taoyuan Army, so you go back and speed up the training of recruits." ”
Wu Youliang was stunned, saluted my chest, and turned back.
I turned around and smiled at Chen Gongjin and said, "Then, Lord Jifu, let's go to the city?"
Chen Gongjin looked at me, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "General, please!"
I smiled and stretched out my hand and said, "Jisuke-sama, please!"
......
......
After entering the city, the army was taken to the barracks, and I took Huerte with me, but I followed Chen Gongjin to the inner city.
When I first arrived, the cabinet must have to go, after all, I came by order, according to Chen Gongjin, when the army entered the city, it was necessary to go to the military department to pay the order.
"The country is broken by mountains and rivers, and the spring grass and trees in the city are deep!"
I rode on my horse, looked at the ruined scene in the city, and couldn't help but sigh.
Chen Gongjin stared at me with interest and said, "The general is also interested in the poetry of the human world?"
I smiled and said, "Lord Jifu, I am from the human world, and naturally I have received a formal nine-year compulsory education. ”
"Nine-year compulsory education?" Chen Gongjin was a little puzzled.
I smiled and said, "This is an education system that has been practiced in the human world for nearly a hundred years, stipulating that every child in every family must receive education. ”
"Oh, it's the New Life Movement for Literacy that I've put in mind, I know. Chen Gongjin smiled and said.
I smiled and didn't speak, but I couldn't help but have some doubts in my heart.
Could it be that in recent decades, except for Li Xuefeng, there has really not been a single person in the human world who has soared to the Three Realms? So much so that they don't even know about the nine-year compulsory education?
Even if there are no people in the realm to ascend, and the kingdom of God has muskets and artillery, why are the two realms of immortals and gods still so backward?
I was thinking about it, but I saw that I had entered the inner city in front of me, which was similar to the layout of Taoyuan Town, but the streets were neat and the flow of people was like weaving. It is a world of difference from the dilapidated scene of the outer city.
It's just that there are more beggars, groups of unkempt beggars, big and small, lying on the side of the street basking in the sun.
Qingfeng City is very large, Chen Gongjin took me in a straight line, and walked along the road into the city for half an hour before I saw a city wall, it turned out that in this inner city, there is also an inner city.
Chen Gongjin stopped at the inner city gate, turned to me and said, "There is a magic circle in the inner city, and this guard of yours is not a native and cannot enter." ”
I turned my head and smiled and said to the somewhat ugly Juerte: "Adults are timid, you are murderous, it's really not good to go in, just wait here." ”
Ju Erte grinned and said, "It's all up to Second Brother Xu." ”
When I entered the inner city, I found that there was a palace-style building in front of me, and there was a large hall and a square in front of it.
Chen Gongjin looked at the palace with a smile when he saw that I was a little strange, and said with a smile: "This is the city lord's mansion, if it weren't for the city lord's resolute opposition, this would have been the palace a long time ago." ”
I feel at ease.
Qingfeng City, Qingfeng City, in fact, it should be Qingfeng Country, I want to come to this Qingfeng City Lord to seek the Tao, so I don't want to be the emperor.
Chen Gongjin led me along the stone path on the left to the side, bypassing the palace, followed by several palaces, until the third palace was next to a two-story building in the style of a long corridor along the city wall.
When he arrived at the front of the building, Chen Gongjin smiled and said, "This is the cabinet house." ”
On the second floor, Chen Gongjin first took me to the innermost room, the door was open, he knocked lightly, but heard a calm voice inside: "Come in." ”
I walked in, and I saw that the office was very large, but the layout was very simple, just a desk, and a row of bookshelves behind it.
Behind the table sat a short old man, holding a brush and writing hard.
"Wait a minute, right away. ”
The old man said without raising his head.
After a while, the old man finished writing, picked up the paper with both hands and blew it, then folded it up, put it in an envelope, and then raised his head, saw Chen Gongjin, smiled, and said, "Gongjin, you are back!"
He looked at me again and said with a pleasant face: "This is Taoyuan General Xu Jinyue?
As soon as I said these two sentences, I seemed to return to the days of begging for a living on Shunhe Street in an instant.
How similar is the tone of his voice and the way he looks at people to my leader?
Before I could speak, Chen Gongjin said with a smile: "Lord Shoufu, this person is Xu Jinyue, he led five thousand musketeers, three thousand artillerymen, and one hundred cannons to reinforce Qingfeng City. ”
Lord Shoufu said with a smile: "Okay, okay, Qingfeng besieges the city, the people are poor, all towns should learn from Taoyuan and Jingdong Army, without Qingfeng City, the fairyland will become a place where the gods are wreaking." ”
I smiled and said: "Leader, defending Qingfeng is defending Taoyuan, and the soldiers are very clear about this. ”
Lord Shoufu laughed, stood up and walked to me, stretched out his hand to me, and said, "What you said is very good, I heard that you are from the human world, then we are fellow countrymen, my name is Zhang Yucheng, and it has been thirty years since I ascended from the human world." ”
I was shocked, Nima, I just thought that no one had come from the human world in recent decades, isn't this the only one?
And looking at it like this, it should have been a leader before!
So he hurriedly bowed down, held Zhang Yucheng's hand with both hands, showed some excited expression on his face, and said: "Thank you to the leader, the leader has worked behalf of the Taoyuan Army, on behalf of the people of Taoyuan Town, thank the leader for his encouragement!"
Ignoring Chen Gongjin's contemptuous eyes, my hands trembled slightly, acting in a full set, which is exactly the practice of life is like a play, all rely on acting skills.
Zhang Yucheng was very useful, laughed, and said: "Xiao Xu, when I see you, I am very kind, as if I have returned to my youth." ”
He looked up, and there was a little sparkle in the corner of his eye.
Nima, this is a master of acting.
"Don't say anything!"
Zhang Yucheng waved his hand and said, "Tonight, there will be a banquet in the Drunken Immortal Building, and I will treat my little fellow villager well!"
