If you can't stand it, you have to stand it, and you have to die to stand it. Gao Tang made up his mind in his heart. But the current situation made him feel that he had nowhere to go. It's like a mess of punches, but it can't hit the enemy at all.

This feeling made him impatient. He began to pace again.

Chen Cheng went for a long time this time before coming back, and it was already afternoon.

"The Tatars haven't attacked yet?" Gao Tang asked.

Chen Cheng nodded and said, "No, if there is, the spies will come to report." ”

"yes, you see I'm confused." Gao Tang patted his head and said.

Chen Cheng said: "General Gao, you can't be confused! Here you are the backbone. ”

"Yes, yes, Brother Chen is right. I can't panic. Gao Tang said calmly.

Chen Cheng said again: "General Gao, don't be too anxious, no matter how bad we are, it's not a problem to keep it for ten days and eight days." ”

"I hope so!" Gao Tang said lightly, as if he was not confident.

Chen Cheng saw this, so he asked, "General Gao, what are you worried about?" ”

Gao Tang said: "I now have a feeling that I can't use my strength in the face of the Tatar army. I don't know where to hit him. It's just impossible to exert power! ”

Chen Cheng nodded when he heard this, sighed and said, "Yes, now the Tartar slaves are using the array." We can't guess what is real and false! ”

"That's what upsets me. Even if the Tatar army said that they were going to attack the land of Pingdu. Even if a million people come, I'm not afraid. It's like this that makes you scratch your head is the most headache. Gao Tang said with an almost sad face.

Chen Cheng said: "But General Gao, upset can't solve the problem. Now that we have deployed it, we can only wait for the Tatars to attack. ”

"That's all there is to it now." Gao Tang said a little helplessly.

"General Gao, I'll go on patrol now, you're waiting for news in the big tent." Chen Cheng said.

"Okay, thank you Brother Chen." Gao Tang arched his hand and said.

Chen Cheng also arched his hand and turned around and went out.

Gao Tang frowned again.

Chen Cheng mounted his war horse and took two small soldiers straight to the land of Pingdu in the north. He's going to patrol from that side first. The three of them galloped on the road, and billowing dust and smoke rose behind them.

When they arrived at the land of Pingdu, the guards were in full formation, and the muzzles of the cannons were facing outward, and they were already ready to attack. Chen Cheng was a little relieved when he saw these cannons and muskets. After all, this power will also cause heavy casualties to the Tarnu army. But he also knew that the Tatar army was ferocious, and he didn't care about life or death. This is also the terrifying part of the Tatar army.

At this time, Chen Chengli was on his horse and shouted to the soldiers: "Soldiers, listen well, as long as the Tatar army comes, serve them with your shells and guns, and beat me hard." ”

"Yes."

"Yes."

All the soldiers replied in unison. The sound was earth-shattering.

Seeing the morale of the soldiers, Chen Cheng was a little relieved. The so-called two armies fight and the brave wins. Come, Tatars! After the inspection, Chen Cheng inspected the east and south along the border of Pingliang Prefecture.

Passing through the mountains, all of them were arranged with patrolling cavalry. Although the mountains here are high in the sky, I am still afraid that there are some secret paths that can be crossed.

Along the way, when Chen Cheng met the patrolling cavalry, he asked about the situation, and the answer he got was that there was no change.

Chen Cheng felt relieved again, and his heart was almost at peace along the way. But my heart is still tight. Continue to the south. Arrived at the newly discovered mountain road. Seeing that the artillery and musket corps were already on standby. There were 20,000 people here, still camouflaged by the surrounding grass and bushes, and if the Tatar army came down from the mountain, they would not be able to detect the Han army at all, which would give the Tatar army a surprise attack, and when they were in disarray, the musketeer army would pursue.

Seeing that this was also unharmed, Chen An continued south to Heihuling. The defense here was personally deployed by him, and he only asked if the spies had spotted the Tarnu army.

The answer was no, and the spies were still probing.

Chen Cheng raised his eyebrows, and he also had a chaotic feeling of Gao Tang in his heart.

"What the hell are these Tartars going to do?" He muttered to himself.

Continuing south, we reached the border of Gyeongju, where 20,000 soldiers and horses were ready to gallop to the aid of Black Tiger Ridge and the mountain road north of Black Tiger Mountain. There is also Lijiazhuang in the west and opposite the Black Tiger Ridge.

Chen Cheng explained to them again, and then ran to the west, passing by Lijiazhuang, and was a little relieved to see that he was safe. He asked if the spies sent to the west had returned.

"Back to the general, it should be soon." The soldier replied.

Chen Cheng dismounted and prepared to wait for the spies here. Now that there is no Tatar army to attack in the west, it is very important for the whole situation. The western part of the country was relatively weak, and it would be easy to conquer if a large army of Tatars came to attack. This is also where Chen Cheng and Gao Tang are most worried.

Chen Cheng got off the war horse but couldn't stay, pacing back and forth in place, just like Gao Tang.

After waiting for about half an hour, the spies finally returned.

Chen Cheng hurriedly asked, "Tell me quickly, what's the situation." ”

The spy replied, "Sister Hui, the little one has explored fifty miles away, and has not found any trace of the Tatar army. ”

Hearing this, Chen Cheng's nervous expression relaxed. Then he said, "Let's go again." Just get twenty miles away. If there is any hostility, report it quickly. Got it? ”

"Got it, General." The spy arched his hand, mounted his horse and went away again.

It's not easy to be a spy, all kinds of horses galloping, galloping on horseback all day long.

This time, Chen Cheng could get on the war horse with a little peace of mind, motivate the soldiers, and take the two soldiers to continue galloping north. This way to the land of Baishan, there is also a defense, because there is no need. First, this is by the west. Second, these mountains are not easy to climb. Chen Cheng also sent someone to find a way. Nothing was found, it was not suitable for the march at all.

Baishan was also easy to defend and difficult to attack, and only 5,000 people were released. Then Chen Cheng returned to the big tent of the Chinese army in Pingdu. By this time the sun had set, and the sky was gradually darkening.

As soon as he met Chen Cheng, he hurriedly asked, "Brother Chen, there is nothing wrong!" ”

Chen Cheng poured himself a bowl of tea and drank it dry. Then he said, "No, it's business as usual." ”

When I heard this sentence, I didn't know if I was happy or worried.

Chen Cheng said: "General Gao, although I don't know what the Tatar army wants to do, as long as they don't attack for a day, they will give us more time." ”

Gao Tang listened to Chen Cheng's words, and thought in his heart, yes. It's better to have a five, seven, or six day without attacking.

"Then I hope that the Tatar army will continue to besiege and not attack!" He thought for a moment and said.
