After Ge Tong and Cao Feng led the last group of people to pass through Zuojin Valley, Wu Meng sacrificed the two earth-shaking talismans that he had been holding in his hands for a long time at this time. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The two Xuan-level top-grade earth-shaking talisman seals unleashed a terrifying impact force like a landslide and tsunami, rolling the wind and clouds, tearing the earth apart from two hideous and terrifying cracks, extending to the roots of the cliffs on both sides at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Cen Yunfei and the others felt that the ground under their feet was trembling violently, and in a blink of an eye, they saw that the stone walls on both sides were already covered with cobweb-like traces, and a large number of falling rocks rumbled down, stirring up smoke and dust in the sky.

At this time, Cen Yunfei, Chen Qing and others shot together again, the sword light halberd was criss-crossed, the stone was cut like mud, and there were two earth-shaking talismans that shook the rock formation at the root of the mountain.

Cao Feng stared at the scene in front of him in amazement, so far he didn't understand why Chen Hai made such a determination, the rebels of the exiles did not besiege and kill them on a large scale, they actually wanted to personally take action to completely block the only way to retreat, leaving no room for anything.

When the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, the narrow gorge that was more than 100 steps wide before was already full of boulders that had broken and rolled down, and the accumulated ruins were two or three hundred meters high, although they were not as huge as the ruins of Qintong Pass, and it was not possible to clear the passage in three or five days.

Although it is still easy for a soldier with a martial arts foundation to climb out of the rubble and ruins, the retreat of ordinary generals and soldiers is completely blocked, either they die in battle, or the reinforcements who stick to the Taiwei Mansion arrive, and there is no third way to go.

Cao Feng can't understand it, but if he can't understand it, he has to implement it. He followed Wu Meng, Ge Tong, Qian Wenyi, Cen Yunfei, Chen Qing and others to gallop to the camp five or six miles to the south.

The hastily built battalion in three days was rudimentary, and along a low ridge forty or fifty meters high, a wooden wall was cut down and buried, but between the two rows of high wooden walls was filled with sand and gravel, and a layer of miscellaneous wood was laid on top of it, so that the soldiers could stand up and shoot the approaching rebels.

The rebels are still gathering dozens of miles away, and this side is also seizing the time to dig more and deeper trenches outside the wall, and a large number of wooden nails are inserted into the trenches or sandy soil, these measures seem useless, but as long as they can create a slight obstacle for the attacking rebels, the battalion will do its best to do it.

A watchtower was built in front of the gate of the big camp, and it was raised high, wanting to enter the sky; the big camp was relatively high, and countless soldiers standing in the big camp also saw that the passage of Zuojin Valley had been completely blocked, and their expressions were solemn and complicated, and Cao Feng couldn't guess what they were thinking in their hearts.

Perhaps many people thought that Chen Hai would divide his troops to defend the dangerous place of Zuojin Valley, but cover the main force to retreat to the south, who would have thought that he would make a decision to block all the horses north of Zuojin Valley?

Entering the camp, Cao Feng turned over and dismounted, he wanted to go to see Chen Hai with Wu Meng and Ge Tong, and just about to hand over the horses to the soldiers around him to feed, more than a dozen old soldiers of the baggage battalion armed with bone chopping knives ran over and wanted to take away the horses of Cao Feng and others directly.

Cao Fengyu asked, "What do you want to do?"

"Except for specific xeno-riding beasts, all horses must be led to the baggage camp for slaughter!" said the old soldier at the head with an extremely complicated expression.

"This is a war horse!" Cao Feng said angrily, snatching the reins at once, protecting the war horse behind him, glaring angrily at the old men of the baggage battalion to take his mount away.

Over the years, he has led the homeless people to various places to survive, and cultivated in the north of Taohuawu, an ordinary mule and horse that can pull goods from a plow is regarded as a treasure, and a war horse that can be hired on the battlefield can be worth ten ordinary mules and horses.

Although the black-maned war horse behind him was less than a month old with him, he served him as his own son, and the old guard of the baggage battalion ran over to take him away and slaughter him, how could he not be angry.

"This is the military order of the Captain, we are just acting on orders, if you have anything to say, go to the Captain to complain. The old man's face was as thin as the bark of an old tree, and he said expressionlessly.

"Chen Hai will never give such an order, you wait for me!" Cao Feng said angrily, letting his two soldiers stare at his black-maned horse, and he was about to rush to the big tent to find Chen Hai's theory.

Wu Meng pulled Cao Feng back.

The scope of the camp is not large, the scope of the baggage camp is a shallow valley on the low ground, Wu Mengla Cao Feng walked to the high place, they could see the situation over there, and saw a piece of sturdy war horses being neatly led to the stake, blindfolded with cloth, but one by one slaughtered and bloodletting-and the generals who depended on the life and death of the war horses, there were many people standing outside the baggage camp and shouting unwillingly, but the camp strengthened the guard of the baggage camp, and Zhou Jun personally led people to guard outside the baggage camp to prevent anyone from making trouble.

Cao Feng saw that he was chilling, angry and angry, trembling all over, sitting on the ground with his buttocks, and muttering over and over again: "These are all war horses, why is Chen Hai so ruthless?!"

"The main force of the Xiyuan Army was defeated, and all the small amount of grain and grass we took was lost to the rebels, and we tried our best to bring enough grain and grass, but we contained more than 20,000 routs, and it could only support seven days when evenly distributed. And you can see that the autumn grass on the left and right sides of the valley has been set on fire by the rebels, and so many war horses can't collect fodder at all! At this time, slaughtering and storing it as meat can still be enough for us to support until the reinforcements arrive! It is not easy for the captain to make this determination. Wu Meng said.

"But these are war horses! Why don't you start with the mules and horses pulling the carts from camels, maybe after ten days and half a month, the reinforcements will arrive!" Cao Feng said, "More than a thousand mules and horses, which is enough for the army to support for ten more days, the war horses are hungry first, if there are no reinforcements after ten days, they are destined to die, and they can't be slaughtered ruthlessly at this time!"

Cen Yunfei, Chen Qing and others also felt that Chen Hai's decision was too hasty, and secretly felt that if the Taiwei Mansion dispatched troops quickly, how could the first batch of reinforcements arrive within half a month, and thousands of war horses were slaughtered like this, not to mention that the generals couldn't bear it in their hearts, and how terrible the loss was.

However, Chen Haijun's order has been issued, and they have already begun to slaughter war horses on a large scale, and it is no longer Cao Feng who can disobey the military order.

Wu Meng and Ge Tong comforted Cao Feng and said, "We still have to go to the big tent to pay the order!"

Cao Feng's cultivation is not high, but together with Ge Tong and his son Cao Shan, they are the main generals of the eight thousand people who have gathered in Zuojin Valley at this time, and they have a place in the big tent.

Cao Feng was silently speechless and walked with Wu Meng in the direction of the big tent, and Cen Yunfei, Chen Qing and other disciples of the Hexi Taiwei Sect were also designated to gather in the tent.

***********************

"Lord Yao may have an opinion about me personally, but Chen Hai has to act arbitrarily, but the situation is so critical that Chen Hai has to make a decision. And Wei Shuai and Lord Yao can't interfere with their injuries at will, Chen Hai can only discuss many things with General Tu, Zhao Rong and the generals of the battalion first. If Lord Yao thinks that Chen Hai has made a mistake at this time, please point it out that Chen Hai can correct it in time......"

As soon as Cao Feng followed Wu Meng and Ge Tong to the outside of the big tent, he heard Chen Hai's voice coming from inside, and a group of battalion generals who had gathered in front of the big tent were not in a hurry to walk in, and seemed to be patient to wait for the dispute inside to finish before speaking.

Although Cao Feng led the three thousand Minyong to enter Tongbei Mansion before sealing the valley, there were battle reports delivered to him in time along the way for him to decide the advance and retreat and advance speed of the three thousand Minyong, and he would not ignore him because he didn't even have a cultivation foundation.

Cao Feng knew that Wei Yuzhi and Yao Qitai and the remnants had also retreated to Zuojin Valley, and logically speaking, the Xiyuan Army assembled in Zuojin Valley at this time was still under the control of Wei Yuqi and Yao Qitai, but he didn't know what they were arguing with Chen Hai in the big tent.

"Of the 25,000 remnants, more than half of the seventh will be collected, so that's it, but why do you want to mix 8,000 people with Minyong, and in the end there are less than 5,000 remnants left to hand over to us, what does it mean?" Yao Qitai asked in a gloomy voice, not minding that the many battalion generals outside the big tent would hear their disputes.

"The rebels are about to besiege together, and they still want the remnants to be able to exert their combat power, and the complete military attache system is the primary condition, I believe that Lord Yao has served in the Taiwei Mansion for many years, and he will also agree with this," Chen Hai said slowly, "The 50,000 soldiers and horses of the Xiyuan Army were defeated in Leiyang Valley, of course, this is not the fault of Wei Shuai, it is actually that the rebels are too vicious, and they set up a poisonous plan against heaven and harmony to harm Wei Shuai, but the five chariots and horses of the Xiyuan Army are captains, The cavalry lieutenant and most of the battalion generals were either killed in battle, or they didn't know where to flee, and in the end, only more than 50 military attachés above the tiger attendant loyally followed Wei Shuai and Lord Yao to fight their way out of the encirclement. In such a short period of time, only five battalions of soldiers and horses can be reorganized, and Chen Hai must not detain the excess soldiers to be commanded by Lord Yao. ”

"But what is the matter of mixing 8,000 remnants with Minyong, should Minyong's military attache system be more complete?" Yao Qitai questioned.

"The people are brave and grassy, the military attache system is incomplete, and Tu Chongjin and others were demoted to their generals because of the crime of losing Qin Tong Pass, Chen Hai and Lord Yao have no right to reappoint Tu Chongjin and others as generals here, Chen Hai can only draw more than 500 experienced veterans from the right to be incorporated into the Minyong at this time, so as to be able to accommodate 8,000 remnants of soldiers and quickly reorganize their combat strength to resist the siege that the rebels are about to pounce on," Chen Hai said in a flat tone, "But all this is an expedient measure, if Wei Shuai feels that there is anything inappropriate, Chen Hai and the generals will immediately correct it." ”

Only then did Cao Feng understand that the dispute over the big tent turned out to be the ownership of more than 25,000 remnants.

In Cao Feng's opinion, more than 25,000 remnants were rescued by Chen Hai, even the lives of Wei Yuqi and Yao Qitai were saved by Chen Hai, and Chen Hai was quite generous in agreeing to hand over five or six thousand people to Yao Qitai, the generals of the defeated army.

Although Wei Yuqi is a general of the chariot cavalry, and Yao Qitai is the Zuo Sicheng of the Taiwei Mansion, the dehaired phoenix is not as good as a chicken, and if they are still dissatisfied with anything at this time, they can be invited out to set up another camp.
