Chapter 194: Helping the Enemy

Entering the Wild Fox Ridge, the road became more and more rugged and dangerous, on one side was a precipice like a fierce beast pounced, and the gravel continued to slide down, and on the other side was a rift valley more than a thousand feet deep. The so-called mountain path www.biquge.info is barely enough for horses to pass through, but if the horse's hooves step on the sharp gravel, and if you don't pay attention to slipping or parting away, you will fall off the cliff with the people and horses.

The miserable howl and the dull sound of hitting the stone valley after a while made people palpitate.

Chen Hai's pupils were full of light, after nearly a year of hard cultivation, the six veins of Xuanyin were about to be completely cultivated, stepping into the consummation of the Soul Realm, and the perception of the six senses had also been raised to a certain limit, which was about to produce a leap of qualitative changes, which allowed him to clearly see the dimly lit valley floor, and see the accumulated corpses in the weeds at the valley bottom.

The corpses of these years were not starved to death, but hundreds of thousands of rebels who retreated north with countless people a few years ago, and fell down the deep valley and died when they passed through Yehu Ridge.

With such a rugged road and millions of people retreating north in such a hurry, who knows how many people fell to their deaths in this deep valley? There are still some people who have not died when they fall, but who have broken their limbs and bones in the deep valley with steep walls like wells, and who have also died of injuries and pain.

After Fan Cheng led more than 1,000 elite forwards and defeated a small number of black turban thieves, Tu Ziji led 10,000 elites to cross the Wild Fox Ridge in advance.

Also because the terrain is really precipitous, the soldiers and horses of the baggage battalion came all the way, and the fall injury rate was also hundreds of deaths, and the casualties were even heavier than the front soldiers and horses led by Tu Ziji and Fan Cheng.

Finally crossed the Wild Fox Ridge, the terrain was slightly gentle, and a Pingba Valley three or four miles wide and more than ten miles long was sandwiched between the two tall snow ridges.

It was the first mass gathering camp for hundreds of thousands of rebels and a large number of civilians who had been coerced into retreating north.

A small number of strong black turban thieves were either annihilated or fled into the deep mountains and old forests, and there were nearly 100,000 people gathered in this camp, but after Tu Ziji and Fan Cheng led the forward troops to cross the Yegu Ridge, they did not rush to launch an offensive against this camp of the displaced army.

Su Aya rode a beautiful green wildebeest with silky fur like satin, and followed Chen Hai to approach the camp of the Wandering People's Army, and his eyes were full of skinny hungry people, numbly looking at the tigers and wolves of the Xiyuan Army approaching the camp.

There were also a considerable number of the generals of the Wandering Army, who struggled to stand up at this time and gathered in front of the camp, wanting to form a formation against Chong Zhou, who was a fierce soldier of the Xiyuan Army, but they were so hungry that they were left with a layer of old skin wrapped in their bones, and their simple blades trembled in their hands, and they could fall down and hit their legs at any time.

"Tu Duwei, what are you still hesitating about?" Yao Xuan urged.

The deep mountains at the northern foot are too steep, and it is impossible for Fan Chun and Wen Boyuan to transfer the main force of the Xiyuan Army in, but they only sent Tu Ziji to lead more than 10,000 elites first, and transferred a small number of elite guards from Fan Cheng and Yao Xuan to strengthen the combat power of Tu Ziji's department.

Yao Xuan's opportunity to participate was also related to the fact that he first discovered the reality of the homeless camp, and there was no reason for Fan Chun and Wen Boyuan not to let him share more of his military exploits.

However, Yao Xuan followed Tu Ziji to lead his troops to cross the Yehu Ridge, but Tu Ziji was not in a hurry to attack the Wandering Army, first set up a camp on the periphery, built a camp, and dragged it for more than ten days, and waited for the rear baggage convoy to cross the Wild Fox Ridge with difficulty to converge, and then really gathered troops to approach the camp of the Wandering Army.

At this time, seeing that tens of thousands of soldiers of the Liumin army were about to starve to death, and they were still forming a formation in front of the camp without knowing whether they were alive or dead, Yao Xuan couldn't help but urge Tu Ziji to quickly give an order to slaughter these guys who didn't know whether they were alive or dead.

Chen Hai glanced at Yao Xuan and didn't say anything.

Since confirming that the rebels starved to death in Yehuling, Yao Xuan has been in an indescribable excitement, after all, he has to be the first to inspect the enemy, thinking that if he makes another meritorious service, he may be qualified to serve as a middle-level general at the rank of cavalry captain.

"If Captain Tu Du is worried that the rebels still have traps, he is willing to lead his troops forward. Yao Xuan continued to ask for battle.

Yao Xuan led two hundred soldiers to the forward, although there were tens of thousands of generals in front of him, but it seemed that those who insisted on standing for more than a few hours may be one or two out of ten, Yao Xuan was confident that he would lead two hundred elite guards to kill tens of thousands of people on their backs, and then rush into the camp of the wandering army to kill a river of blood.

"Lord Chen, what do you think?" Tu Ziji ignored Yao Xuan, but turned sideways to ask Chen Hai's opinion.

"Heaven has the virtue of a good life, and the Xiyuan Army does not need to deter strong enemies with brutality and force them to surrender!" Chen Hai said as he looked into the distance.

Yao Xuan was angry, and wanted to say that Chen Hai was no longer the chief military general and had no right to interfere in the direction of the war, but looking at Tu Ziji, Fan Cheng, and even Ran Hu, Wu Jinglin and other generals who all thought it was true, he suddenly thought that even if Chen Hai handed over the military power of the first battalion to Zhao Wutai, his influence in the first battalion was still deep-rooted, not to mention the battalion generals below, even Tu Ziji and Zhao Rong would respect Chen Hai's opinion.

As long as the first battalion is not destroyed by a strong enemy, as long as the fierceness of the tiger and wolf division is still retained, it will be difficult for Chen Hai's influence to be weakened.

The first battalion was trained by Chen Hai, and the initial brilliant achievements were also led by Chen Hai, to a certain extent, Zhao Wutai was just a person who picked fruits, as long as Zhao Wutai was transferred, his influence would be quickly weakened, but Chen Hai's influence existed in the spiritual core of the first battalion.

Tu Ziji didn't allow it, Yao Xuan thought of the four blood-soaked execution bronze pillars in front of the gate of Fujiaoling, and he didn't dare to lead the two hundred elites of his department to attack the remnants of the homeless army.

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

Tu Ziji sent two teams of armored cavalry, surrounded by ten light chariots, pulling iron cables horizontally to the battle formation of the Wandering Army, and pulled down the remnants of the Wandering Army who would die at any time, but drove them to the valley on the side and opened the passage into the camp of the Wandering Army.

A large number of those who remained in the camp were ordinary people who had been coerced into retreating north years ago.

The camp was littered with countless dead bodies, and the hungry people had no strength to clean them up.

Fortunately, the terrain in this area is extremely high, the temperature is cold, although it is summer, the remnant snow can still be seen in the camp, and a large number of dead bodies are frozen solidly, otherwise a large number of plagues will spread, and the people in the mountains are afraid that they will die.

Chen Hai entered the foreign world with the Dragon Emperor Cangyu, except for his uncle Chen Lie, who was sincere and caring, and his loyal generals, his feelings for others were really weak.

The land beneath our feet is a foreign land, not a native land.

Chen Hai's many efforts and layouts at this time are to continuously improve the self-protection ability of the descendants of the Zhaoyang Pavilion Marquis's Mansion, if one day, the Rakshasa Demon is about to open the passage from the Rakshasa Domain to the Blood Cloud Wasteland and from the Blood Cloud Wasteland to Yanzhou, Chen Hai is more concerned about self-preservation, and will not think about taking on meaningless responsibilities that have nothing to do with him.

However, when he walked into the camp of the Displaced People's Army at this moment, he was still deeply shocked by the tragic situation in front of him.

This area is extremely high, almost next to the snow line, and the vegetation is scarce, and there is almost no trace of weeds and tree bark that can be eaten as far as the eye can see.

The baggage battalion was directly stationed in the camp of the Wandering People's Army, supporting dozens of large cauldrons to boil gruel, and the slight aroma of rice porridge spread, and those pupils who were numb and waiting for death reacted, and slowly gathered towards the porridge field, but there were more people, and they didn't even have the strength to crawl with their hands and feet, if it weren't for the fact that their eyes were still rolling, and their chests were still slightly undulating, and they even felt their faint breath to the extreme.

Chen Hai looked back at Su Aya, who was following him, and saw that she was stiff, probably deeply shocked by the scene in front of him, took out a medicine bag from his arms and gave it to Ding Shuang, and said: "The medicinal properties of these tonic pills are still too strong for the hungry, just scrape a little medicinal powder and stir and mix each pot of porridge, don't overdo it, you'd better keep an eye on it yourself." In addition, send a message back to Tongbei Beicang, and transfer more medicinal materials that can nourish qi and blood, otherwise, it will be impossible for these people to cross the Wild Fox Ridge again. ”

"Do you want to bring a few black-feathered giant vultures over?" Ding Shuang asked hesitantly.

Chen Hai nodded.

There are only two black-feathered giant vultures in Juquanling, but there are more than a dozen black-feathered giant vultures in Tongbei Okura, which is to ensure that some ordnance materials can be operated urgently, and Chen Hai has the right to call them.

To the north of Yehuling, there are six camps in the Wandering Army, but the roads in the other five camps are even more rugged, especially the tens of thousands of hungry people and prisoners of war here have not yet been settled, and the baggage battalions have not yet left the strength to immediately relieve the starvation in other camps.

The reason why Wen Boyuan and Fan Chun agreed with Chen Hai to come forward to help the hungry people and collect prisoners of war was not to let Tu Ziji directly lead his troops to kill a bloody way, in addition to the fact that at this critical moment, the British king was unwilling to bear the name of brutality, and the main reason was that it took more time to help the hungry people and collect prisoners of war.

When the camps of the exile army are sorted out and officially presented to the Taiwei Mansion, it will be delayed for at least a month or two, and Yao Qitai, Yao Xuan's father and son, and other generals of the Xiyuan Army who may be loyal to the prince Yingdan are still in great shock and incomprehension at this time, and they have not completely recovered for the time being.

Even if it was to delay more time, Wen Boyuan and Fan Chun instructed Tu Ziji not to capture all the camps of the Exiled People's Army too quickly, so the passage from Yehuling to the north would not be in a hurry to clear out.

However, with every day of delay, hundreds of hungry people died, and the only solution was to bring in a few black-feathered vultures to drop life-saving food into the other camps.

Of course, the other camps of the Wandering Army have not been captured, and the generals of the Wandering Army have not surrendered and been captured, so if they surrender at this time, Chen Hai may have to bear the charge of "helping the enemy with food", so Ding Shuang was also hesitant when he suggested.

Chen Hai is not worried about these, the more chaotic picture scroll is about to unfold in the land of Yanzhou, who will hold on to his little braid at that time?
