Chapter 72: Re-entering the Secret Realm (12)
Nanxun Plain.
At the foot of the mountain on the west side, more than 10,000 iron horsemen rushed by, and in the quiet mountain forest on the left, the birds were frightened and flew up.
The iron knight was murderous, and the arrows and crossbows tied to his arms were wound one after another.
Five miles ahead is the tall Nanxun Pass.
There is a black tent on the south side of the Guanfang, and there are many people.
Chang Feilong stretched out his right arm and raised it above his head, signaling to adjust into an arrow formation and move forward at a uniform speed.
The roar of huge horses' hooves stomping the ground and the dust scattered behind the Iron Knight.
Woo~
Nanxun closed a long, low horn and suddenly sounded.
The city pass was quickly covered with archers who were waiting for their bows, and a group of demon soldiers in black armor rushed out of the tent in Guannan, forming a semi-circular phalanx in a moment
The distance is only three miles, and the semi-circular square array that has gathered in front of Nanxun Pass is not chaotic at all.
Chang Feilong raised his right hand and made a gesture of speeding up the formation, and the ten thousand horses behind him instantly increased their speed, and the entire Nanxun Pass felt that the ground was trembling, and the stones exposed on the loess ground were bouncing violently.
A pitch-black beacon smoke rose straight into the sky from the beacon tower on the wall of Nanxun Pass.
The iron cavalry is getting closer and closer, and the speed is getting faster and faster, and the black armor of about 3,000 people is waiting for it.
.......
On the galloping road twenty miles north of Nanxun Pass, the five thousand horsemen led by Jiang Ge were advancing rapidly.
A long horn sounded, breaking Jiang Ge's contemplation, and Jiang Ge, who was riding on horseback and moving forward at a uniform speed, looked up in the direction of Nanxun Pass.
The pitch-black and straight wolf smoke instantly rose into the sky.
Jiang Ge's heart was a little more stable, and at the same time he was more worried, for Jiang Ge, everything in the south was unknown, and the battlefield was changing rapidly, so he could only silently pray for the 10,000 iron horsemen.
After taking a closer look at the distance of the wolf smoke, less than twenty miles, Jiang Ge commanded to Jian Hong, who was riding on a horse next to him: "The whole army accelerates, and in the last twenty miles, rush to Nanxun Pass, take it in one go, and take the people you selected to follow me." ”
As soon as the words fell, Jiang Ge clamped the war horse hard, and the war horse was instructed to run up with four hooves, and then Jian Hong accelerated with five thousand horsemen, and galloped towards Nanxun Pass, the gallop road trampled by the horse's hooves was dusty, and the horse's hooves roared.
........
At this time, Jiang Yibai stood on a small hillside that was not high, looking at the looming wolf smoke in the northwest, and then looking at the quiet in the east where nothing had happened. There was a little itch in my heart, and the scene when I followed the ten generals to break the camp appeared in my mind over and over again, thousands of troops, only to move forward, Nanxun should be very exciting, but unfortunately I can't see it.
.......
Chen Sheng, who had already cleared the enemy post between Qingfeng City and Lingyun City, was bored basking in the sun, muttering impatience in his heart, his whole body and bones itching. muttered in his heart: "It's not comfortable to be a chicken commander at all, after this errand is over, I will resign as a guard next to the general, and a bird will fade out of my mouth." Mother's unpleasant. ”
.......
Li Ji stood on the top of the hill a little nervously and looked at the lighted beacon smoke in the north, and tens of thousands of people behind him were cutting down trees to make siege tools, and then looked in the direction of Nanxun City in the east, although there was also wolf smoke lit, but there was no movement. Li Ji sent out waves of scouts, and all the enemy's attention was attracted by the 10,000 horsemen, and the later the enemy knew about the movements on his side, the better. Li Ji, who was thick and fine, kept listening to the scout's report and looked into the distance, and was also thinking about the general's plan in his heart, hoping that everything would be as the general said and nothing would go wrong.
......
Nanxun Pass.
The ground was trembling violently, the air was filled with an extremely tense atmosphere, and the rumbling sound of horses' hooves trampling on the ground resounded throughout Nanxun Pass.
The three brothers of Chang Feilong took the lead, holding a stainless steel spear, bowing forward, and the war horse under the crotch galloped rapidly, and Nanxun Pass was close at hand.
A hundred steps away is the black armor array, and the two sides are on the verge of breaking out.
Boom~
I only heard the sound of the neatly arranged arrows on the wall of the tall Nanxun Pass, and hundreds of pitch-black feather arrows shot at the cavalry rushing to the front of the pass at great speed.
Roar~
The array of demon soldiers let out a roar similar to that of a beast, and the two rows of giant shields in front of the array quickly stood up, and the shields were tightly together with each other, and there were pitch-black spears sticking out from the reserved position, and the semicircular formation was like a semicircular hedgehog, and it would be pierced into a honeycomb if it rushed up.
The prepared cavalry of the Shence Army raised their left hand shields in front of their heads, and the sound of metal clashing sounded, accompanied by the neighing of a few horses as they fell to the ground with arrows, and the popping sound of arrows piercing through their leather armor.
The first round of arrow salvos did not cause substantial damage to the speeding Divine Army, but instead stimulated the indomitable morale of the Divine Army, just like when a spark fell dry grass, instantly igniting a raging fire in the hearts of everyone in the Divine Army.
Just when the demon soldiers were preparing for the second round of salvo fire, in front of Nanxun Pass, the galloping war horse bravely collided with the giant shield outside the semicircular battle formation of 3,000 people.
Thundered~
After a short period of obstruction, the three brothers of Chang Feilong broke through the big shield with the strength of one person, and the spear was like a star, constantly piercing the demon soldiers in front of them, and the iron horse covered with armor under the crotch did not slow down at all, but stepped on the enemy's corpse more excitedly, and quickly ran wildly, completing an arc-shaped charge in an instant.
Chang Feilong and the three of them were like wolves tearing open the mouths of the sheep, and more than 10,000 iron horsemen followed closely behind them, constantly harvesting the heads.
Chang Feilong, who had already turned his horse's head and was riding a horse against Nanxun, looked at the demon soldiers in front of him who had just sworn to die and were waiting for him, and he was trampled into flesh in an instant, staring at the suddenly rapidly moving figure above the city pass with an unfinished feeling in his heart, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
On the city pass, there was a person holding a spear, wrapped in a faint fluorescent body, and the powerful spear picked up the guards and demons.
Immediately after that, a person held a long sword, his body was elegant, and wherever the sword arrived, there was a stump and a broken arm
Fly out empty.
Then a group of ruthless soldiers poured into the city pass, and a banner of divine strategy was quickly raised.
The three pillars of wolf smoke ignited at the same time, soaring into the sky.
Jiang Ge stood on the city pass, looking at the sound of fighting that gradually disappeared behind him, and his heart was much more steady.
In front of the pass, as if nothing had happened, the ten thousand horsemen lined up neatly, looking at the Shence military flag and the ginger flag raised in the city pass, the blood was surging, and the fighting spirit was soaring.
.......
In the west of Nanxun City, on the horizon of dusk, there are thin clouds dyed blood red.
Li Ji walked anxiously up and down the hillside, sweating profusely on his forehead.
Suddenly, the guards beside him exclaimed: "General, look, the north, three pillars of wolf smoke." ”
Li Ji, who was worried in his heart, looked for prestige, showed a smile on his rough face, and shouted loudly towards the hot camp: "The general occupies Nanxun Pass, the soldiers come on, Nanxun City is just around the corner, and it's up to us next." ”
"Fight!"
Hearing Li Jiru's words, the whole camp boiled, everyone's movements in their hands were faster, their strength was stronger, and their morale skyrocketed than that of the ten thousand horsemen.
......
Jiang Yibai, who has nothing to do and is leisurely, is wiping his beloved bow and arrow, as if stroking his beloved lover, carefully, gently, and happily.
A rush of footsteps sounded, and Jiang Yibai looked up to see that it was the guards who rushed over quickly.
"Report to the general, the spies are coming, in the direction of Nanxun, there are three pillars of wolf smoke rising at the same time."
"What about the east?"
"General, there is no movement yet."
"Order the whole army to march west in half an hour, and rush to the Nanxun Plain before dawn."
"Yes, General."
Jiang Yibai quickly checked the bowstring in his hand happily and said to himself: "I thought it was no fun, but this time it's good, and I have fun again." He is worthy of being a general, amazing. ”
......
Upstairs in Nanxun Pass, Jiang Ge looked in the direction of Nanxun City, and always had some ominous premonitions in his heart, always feeling that everything was not very real, it was too simple, such an important Nanxun Pass actually only had two thousand defenders, and there were three thousand defenders outside the pass who did not enter the pass to defend, so careless? Easily wiped out 10,000 enemy troops.
Jiang Ge's brows were furrowed tightly, everything was going too well, it was not a good thing.
Chang Feilong, who was standing on the side, looked at Jiang Ge, who was frowning, and said, "General, it seems that you are worried about something?" ”
Jiang Ge nodded and said, "Everything is too smooth, besides, Nanxun City is a hundred miles away, and the scouts sent out have not yet returned, so I am a little worried." ”
Chang Feilong said in a deep voice: "Tomorrow morning, I will take my sons and daughters to Nanxun City to find out, and the general will wait for the news in the pass." ”
Jiang Ge said worriedly: "Be careful tomorrow, don't fall in love with war, and if you encounter special circumstances, quickly join Li Ji to avoid unnecessary losses." ”
"Jian Hong." Jiang Ge beckoned behind him.
Hearing the call, Jian Hong quickly came to Jiang Ge's side and waited for orders.
"Early tomorrow morning, I will take a thousand horsemen to follow Chang Feilong, in case of contingencies, you are responsible for guarding Nanxun Pass, no matter whether there are reinforcements in the north, Nanxun Pass cannot be broken."
Jian Hong clenched his fists and took the order, and said with concern: "The current situation in Nanxun City is unknown, tomorrow it is still a subordinate to follow the general, there is a small general in the army who is very recognized, and it should be no big problem to entrust Nanxun Pass to him, his subordinates are swordsmen, leading the troops to attack and defend is not a strong point, or follow the general's heart." ”
Listening to Jianhong's words, Jiang Ge was also interested, there was really a lack of generals around him, otherwise he would not let a swordsman be the main general of the city, he should have stuck to the pass by himself, but he was really worried about Nanxun City.
"Since you approve of it, then call to take a look."
After a while, a young man with a sturdy figure and a handsome face came to Jiang Ge and Jian Hong, Jiang Ge looked up and down carefully, the eyebrows of the person in front of him were like swords, his eyes were sunken, and the Shuangmu hidden in the middle was sharp, and he was cold.
Jiang Ge was funny in his heart, what kind of person likes what kind of sword.
The people recommended by Jianhong are very close to him in temperament, they are all lonely and cold and capable, cold on the outside and hot on the inside, and they are properly handled, and the people and things they identify will be extremely recognized, just like a sharp sword.
Jiang Ge somewhat admired this young man who saw that he was extremely calm and calm, and his eyes dared to brave the cold light, and asked, "What's your name?" ”
"General Huiyu, his subordinate Liu Rujian, who was originally the battalion commander under General Wu Yan, is now temporarily seconded to the guard battalion and commands a battalion."
"Liu Rujian, a good name, is very consistent with your temperament, it turned out to be Wu Yan's subordinate. Tsk tsk, although Wu Yan is a little older, his vision and methods for cultivating the future are all ruthless. The three Chang Feilong brothers were also brought out by Wu Yan. ”
"General Xie praised that General Wu treats everyone equally in the army, is upright, and now he is busy with political affairs, and he is still very good to his subordinates."
"Well, are you a new recruit or a veteran?"
"General Hui, his subordinates were replenished to the Shence Army when the general captured the outpost camp, and later assigned to the Daowu Commander-in-Chief to participate in the surprise attack and siege battle of Qingfeng City."
Looking at Liu Rujian in front of him, Jiang Ge was very satisfied, his temperament was refreshing, he was sharp, and he was still a veteran.
"Okay, this Nanxun battle is not trivial, or there are unpredictable emergencies, you also follow me all the way to attack nearly a thousand miles, surprise attack to capture this Nanxun Pass, since you are the battalion commander, naturally know the importance of Nanxun Pass, tomorrow I will take a thousand horsemen to Nanxun City, Nanxun Pass to leave you with 4,000 people, must be defended, now appoint you as the commander of the Nanxun Pass garrison, the official deputy commander."
"General Xie, his subordinates dare not die, his subordinates are here, Nanxun Pass is here, and the last person in the battle must hold Nanxun Pass."
"If you have ambition, you are the first to capture Nanxun City. Nanxun Pass will be handed over to you, don't let the Shence Army be defeated because of Nanxun Pass. ”
"If Nanxun Pass is lost, it will die in front of the pass like a sword."
Jiang Ge picked up Liu Rujian, who was kneeling on one knee, and after boosting his morale, he ordered him to take over the defense.
willow
After Rujian left, Jiang Ge continued to look in the direction of Nanxun City, and said to Jian Hong beside him: "Since there are people guarding Nanxun Pass, you will go through the Ghost Gate Pass with me tomorrow." ”
Jian Hong hugged his fists and said: "Sword mountain and sea of fire, Jian Hong will not give up." ”
"A fierce battle awaits us."
.......
Early the next morning.
The sky of Nanxun Pass lit up slightly, and the 10,000 war horsemen who had been repaired all night walked towards the hazy south in an orderly manner after Chang Feilong's order.
Jiang Ge, who was standing on the city pass, waited for the 10,000 horsemen to slowly disappear into the early morning mist, as if a boulder was pressed down in his heart, and he was a little out of breath. It was as if there was a monster that could devour life hidden in the mist.
Not long after, the 1,000 guard battalion in front of Nanxun Pass was ready to go, Jiang Ge got up and got on his horse, Jian Hong followed closely behind, and the thousand horses galloped away, but not in the direction of Chang Feilong's 10,000 horses. Instead, he went in a different direction and quickly disappeared into the mist.
.......
According to Jiang Ge's plan, all the troops at present, Li Ji's department, Jiang Yibai's department, and Nanxun Pass's Liu Rujian department, are each responsible for their own affairs, and basically meet the requirements of strategic preparations, especially the smooth capture of Nanxun Pass, which plays a vital role in the entire battle situation.
After Li Jibu received the wolf smoke signal, all the troops had already taken action, and the required siege preparations were completed one after another, and the scouts who dispersed also reported that there was no enemy and no movement.
And Jiang Yibai also arrived at the boundary of the Nanxun Plain, and gradually advanced towards Nanxun City after dispersing scouts.
The 10,000 cavalry led by Chang Feilong set off from Nanxun Pass, and according to the plan in Qingfeng City, they first attacked the enemy outpost camp in the north of Nanxun City.
During this period, if there are enemy troops in the city to chase and kill, Chang Feilong's troops will flee from the sphere of influence of Nanxun City, and find the opportunity to swallow the pursuers. If there were no pursuers out of the city, 10,000 cavalry would be enough to crush the enemy forces scattered in four directions outside the city.
After clearing the perimeter of Nanxun City, wait for Li Jibu and Jiang Yibai to cooperate in attacking the city.
That's the original plan.
And so far, everything is going according to plan, exactly as Jiang Ge expected.
however
When Chang Feilong's 10,000 horsemen arrived ten miles outside Nanxun City to make the final repairs.
The 1,000 cavalry led by Jiang Ge had arrived at the enemy camp five miles outside the west gate of Nanxun City.
It should have been Jiang Ge's retreat, making spying and observation.
At this time, Jiang Ge was riding on a horse, watching his subordinates rampage through the barracks, and he didn't see a single ghost, all neatly dressed dummies were placed in the camp.
hurriedly sent scouts to disperse, whether there was an ambush Jiang Ge, and all the answers he got in the end were the same.
There was no movement for five miles around.
Jiang Ge looked at Nanxun City, which stood lonely on the ground five miles away, waving flags, and there seemed to be figures moving on the city wall.
Jiang Ge, Jianhong and everyone else were a little stunned.
It is estimated that everyone is thinking in their hearts, will there be fraud?
And as it turned out, no.
So, Jiang Ge couldn't wait to divide his 1,000 men into two divisions, go around Nanxun City, and quickly investigate the situation in the military camp outside Nanxun City.
When Chang Feilong's troops, who were fierce and full of fighting spirit, fiercely killed the military camp in the north of Nanxun City, they were all dumbfounded.
Hundreds of cavalry from the guard battalion were inspecting the barracks, and not a single enemy was to be seen.
After getting the news, Jiang Ge and Chang Feilong's headquarters converged two miles outside the east gate of Nanxun City.
Jian Hong, Chang Feilong's three brothers, and Jiang Yibai's department who came from behind.
There are more than 20,000 people, Chen Bing, and the east gate of Nanxun City.
Everyone was dumbfounded, and they couldn't come back to their senses for a long time.
The figures moving back and forth on the city walls are fake, the soldiers standing guard are fake, and all the figures are fake.
Jiang Ge looked at the huge city in front of him and couldn't cry or laugh, and he wanted to die.
The scouts before were all-eating, right?
Jiang Ge angrily yelled at everyone behind him: "Tens of thousands of people here, plus tens of thousands of people in Li Ji, have been played by an empty city for several days, did your scouts all grow up eating?" ”
Jian Hong looked at Jiang Ge, who was angry for the first time, and was also aggrieved in his heart, the scouts didn't dare to get too close, who knew that it was all fake.
Jiang Yibai also thought to himself, with a garrison of 50,000 people, where do the scouts dare to get close, they can't find death, not to mention that this is a plain.
Jiang Ge really regretted that he didn't bring the old blind man and the old deaf man, otherwise he wouldn't have made such a big joke, he personally led five thousand horsemen to run nearly a thousand miles in two days, ran and killed two horses, and finally for an empty city.
Jiang Ge scolded crookedly for a long time.
Scolding and scolding is not scolding, it's boring. Isn't this all due to self-arranged problems?
There is no continuous guarantee of the detection of the enemy's situation and the implementation of the blind selection strategy.
Jiang Ge, who calmed down, was a little helpless.
A little dejected, he said to Jian Hong beside him: "Send someone into the city, and then enter the city when it is safe." Inform Li Jibu to come quickly, and bring all the equipment made. In addition, Jiang Yibai immediately returned to the section of the Nanxun Plain to Cangshan City, and chose a steep area, a place suitable for the construction of passes and fortifications, and did a good job of defense. ”
Jiang Yibai promised with a bitter face when he heard this.
Jiang Ge looked at the reluctant Jiang Yibai and said, "Go quickly, do a good job of defense, the 50,000 enemy troops in Nanxun have all gone to Cangshan City." The Ha Jiajun is difficult now, and the victory is also a miserable victory, and the defeat will be completely defeated. There's nothing we can do to help, it's not an order of magnitude, and it's not enough to even plug our teeth. ”
When Jiang Ge heard this, he thought that he could only explain why Nanxun couldn't see the enemy.
Everyone figured out this section and couldn't help but look in the direction of Cangshan City.
There are mixed tastes in my heart.
Fortunately, the enemy troops of Nanxun went to Cangshan City, so that the Shence army picked up a big bargain. Pity the soldiers of the Hajia army for the big battle they are about to face.
