Chapter 398: Crossing the River in White
When the ghost deacon saw that Chen Ning had already captured Zhucheng and had come to support the stone python with a large army, he felt that the general trend had gone, and there was no need to stay here to help, so he didn't even say hello, and retreated with his group of dark cultivators.
The supreme commander of the 120,000 rebel army is called Wang Yabiao, and he already knows about the departure of the ghost deacon and the arrival of a large number of reinforcements from the enemy on the opposite river.
He immediately convened an emergency meeting with the other leaders, and many people said that Chen Ning's handsome banner had appeared here, and the main force of the Black Legion had also appeared here, and it was obvious that Zhucheng had been broken by Chen Ning, and now it was meaningless to cross the river to support Zhucheng.
Wang Yabiao has been fighting in the southern provinces in the south and the north all these years, he has naturally heard of Chen Ning's prestige, he didn't expect Chen Ning to be so powerful, he has already captured Zhucheng in one day, and he is now concerned about Sun Yaoyang's life and death. If Sun Yaoyang is dead, it's fine, if Sun Yaoyang doesn't die and he doesn't bring troops to support, then Sun Yaoyang will sue the big leader Sun Shuojie, then he will be finished.
Therefore, Wang Yabiao couldn't pay attention for a while, should he continue to cross the river to attack, or should he retreat?
Wang Yabiao was silent for a long time, and finally said in a deep voice, let's go and see the situation of the enemy on the other side first.
Wang Yabiao led a group of rebel leaders out of the big tent of the Chinese army, climbed a low slope, and took advantage of the twilight to look at the enemy troops on the opposite side of the Taotao River. I saw that the army on the opposite side was lined up, and the tents in the rear were dense, looking at this scale, I am afraid that Chen Ning brought at least 40,000 soldiers, plus tens of thousands of soldiers of the stone python, Chen Ning's strength was estimated to be 80,000 at this time.
Wang Yabiao sighed and said: "In terms of soldiers, we are slightly more than the enemy, but in terms of fierce generals, who on our side can defeat Chen Ning, who is known as the god of war?"
A group of rebel generals were speechless, most of their strength was at level 9 and level 10, and none of them reached level 11 at all, just one Chen Ning was enough for them to have a headache. If you want to kill Chen Ning on the battlefield and use the sea of people to tactic the opponent Chen Ning, I don't know how many soldiers you have to sacrifice before you can consume Chen Ning's Force and kill Chen Ning?
Just when Wang Yabiao and the others didn't know whether to fight or withdraw, a general suddenly shouted: "Look, someone from the enemy has crossed the river." ”
Sure enough, everyone used the binoculars to see a small boat on the opposite side, rowed by an old man as a boatman, and the boat crossed the river. And on the bow of the boat, stood proudly a man dressed in white, this man was tall and handsome, and his clothes were blown by the river wind, and he looked heroic.
Wang Yabiao was stunned and asked, "Who is this guy?"
Someone immediately replied in shock: "Chen Ning, this guy is Chen Ning, he actually only brought a boatman to row, and crossed the river in white single-handedly to meet us?"
In an instant, many rebel generals became angry and said: "Arrogant, this guy is so arrogant, not only did he come to see us single-handedly, but he didn't even wear armor and military uniforms, but he wore a scholar's white robe, which is simply despising us." This is absolutely unbearable, Commander Wang, we will wait for his ship to approach, and immediately fire a salvo of guns and cannons, first destroy his ship, even if we can't kill him, we can't let him escape back, and then we will select 10,000 elite soldiers to attack him and kill him at all costs. ”
Wang Yabiao shook his head: "No, the two armies will not kill each other, and killing Chen Ning will bring us a bad reputation." Besides, we may not be able to kill Chen Ning in a short period of time, but we are afraid that when we are besieging him, the Black Legion and the Wings of Freedom on the other side of the river have already begun to cross the river to attack us. ”
"Then what should I do, let him be arrogant?"
"We don't know the situation in Zhucheng now, since Chen Ning crossed the river in white clothes and wants to talk to us, then let's just talk to him, at least have a chance to understand the situation on General Sun's side. After Wang Yabiao finished speaking, he ordered: "Let's go, everyone go with me to meet Chen Ning, we can't let them underestimate us." ”
It was indeed Chen Ning who crossed the river, but he did not cross the river alone, but took Fang Zheng with him.
Fang Zheng was dressed in an old peasant's clothes, disguised as a boatman.
It didn't take long for the two to cross the mighty Pearl River and arrive at the opposite bank.
Immediately, countless rebel fighters in bright armor and armed with guns and knives surrounded them.
Chen Ning took Fang Zheng down from the boat, as if he was blind to the murderous enemy, and said lightly: "I'm Chen Ning, let the people who can talk to me come to see me!"
"Chen Ning, so bold, he dared to cross the river alone!"
As a loud and powerful voice like a bell sounded, Chen Ning saw the opposing army's army split on both sides, and a short-bearded general came out with a group of generals.
Chen Ning asked Diao to collect all kinds of information that he had collected for a long time in the rebels, so he also knew a lot about some famous figures in the rebels, so he recognized this Wang Yabiao as soon as they met, and said with a slight smile: "It turned out to be General Wang Yabiao, and I have heard of the name for a long time." ”
Wang Yabiao knew that Chen Ning was very arrogant, even Sun Yaoyang didn't pay attention to it, and even dared to disobey Fu Shuai's orders. For a difficult and domineering guy like Chen Ning, the other party actually spoke politely to himself, and also said that he had heard of his name, which involuntarily satisfied Wang Yabiao's vanity.
Wang Yabiao said quietly: "Chen Ning, Fu Shuai issued an order to let Major General Sun go to the corps that was absorbed, why did he disobey the order and attack General Sun's defense area, if General Sun made any mistakes, I am afraid it will be difficult to explain to the military department, and I will also have to face the monstrous anger of Lieutenant General Sun Shuojie." ”
Chen Ning smiled slightly: "Hehe, General Wang is playing tricks, and if you want to know the situation between Zhucheng and Sun Yaoyang, you can ask me directly, why bother with my words?"
Wang Yabiao was slightly embarrassed when he heard this, he was indeed deliberately tricking Chen Ning's words just now, because he wanted to know Sun Yaoyang's current situation, whether he was alive or dead?
Chen Ning looked around and said lightly: "General Wang doesn't need to worry, I will tell you if you want to know." It's just that this doesn't seem to be the place to talk, standing and talking, it's not like General Wang's hospitality!"
Wang Yabiao glanced at Chen Ning, then stepped out of the way and said in a deep voice: "Please come to our Chinese army tent and sit down and talk." ”
Chen Ning smiled slightly: "Please!"
Wang Yabiao and a group of generals, surrounded by his personal army and countless rebel soldiers, surrounded Chen Ning and walked towards the Chinese army's tent, of course, it can also be said to be surrounding Chen Ning and Fangzheng. After Fang Zheng got off the boat, he held a square wooden box in both hands and followed Chen Ning expressionlessly. This made Wang Yabiao and others secretly guess what was in the box, could it be that the treasure brought by Chen Ning wanted to buy people's hearts?
Soon, Chen Ning and Fang Zheng followed Wang Yabiao and his party to Wang Yabiao's Chinese army tent, not only was the big tent full of senior generals, all of them were strong, and the knife and axe hands and elite soldiers were densely hidden outside the big tent.
The guest and host sat down, the little soldier served tea, and Fang Zheng stood behind Chen Ning honestly.
Wang Yabiao spoke: "Chen Ning, let's say, how is Zhucheng doing, and how is General Sun doing now?"
Chen Ning smiled slightly and instructed Fang Zheng: "Give the gift to General Wang." ”
Wang Yabiao frowned slightly, thinking that if you want to buy my heart, you don't need to give me gifts in public, and even if it is a rare treasure, it is impossible for me to withdraw my troops. If Sun Yaoyang is not saved when he sees death, then I can't afford to blame Sun Shuojie in the future.
Wang Yabiao looked at the wooden box that Fang was placing on his desk, and looked at Chen Ning suspiciously: "What does this mean, is it to buy me, or to install machine explosives in it, and want to play tricks?"
Chen Ning said with a smile: "Don't dare, what's inside, General Wang will know when you open it, Chen Ning does things above board and will not play such despicable tricks." ”
Wang Yabiao snorted coldly, but Chen Ning offered a gift, he didn't even dare to open it, it would be too embarrassing in front of his subordinates.
So although he was a little apprehensive, he still cautiously opened the wooden box on the table, and when he opened it, he and the people around him were instantly stunned, because inside the wooden box, Sun Yaoyang's head was quietly placed!
