"It always feels like something is wrong." Chen Fei looked at the cheering soldiers on the city wall, feeling a little uneasy, and his right eyelid began to beat wildly again.

"What are you thinking!" Cheng Chumo laughed and patted Chen Fei's shoulder, he seemed very happy to defeat the enemy army again.

Chen Fei rolled his eyes at Cheng Chumo, his premonition had always been very accurate, this time his right eyelid began to beat wildly again, and at the same time he was restless, what might happen, but he himself was still in the dark, without knowing at all!

"You're just thinking too much." Cheng Chumo smiled and shook his head.

Chen Fei frowned and said: "Brother Chumo, you are not right, we are not sure whether the enemy has follow-up troops, and it is too early to draw conclusions." I always felt that this enemy attack was not so attentive, and it seemed to be a feeling of probing our roots. ”

Cheng Chumo touched his chin and frowned for a while, then stretched his brows. "Don't think too much, it's been four days, and the enemy's backup force doesn't even have a shadow, and we haven't seen our scouts report back, maybe the enemy really has no backup? Peace of mind! ”

"We can't take it lightly, we don't send out many scouts, and it is possible that we have not encountered the enemy or been killed by the enemy, in short, we must not underestimate the enemy until the arrival of the imperial reinforcements! Hey? There was a sound of fighting under the city wall, and the wall began to roar, and some soldiers threw arrows down, Chen Fei thought that the enemy had killed a horse pistol, and immediately went to the city wall to watch.

"Damn! It turned out to be the enemy's corpse collection team! Nima scared Lao Tzu to death! Chen Fei patted his heart and breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that the enemy sent a team of 100 people to collect the corpses at the foot of the city wall, and naturally met with the men and horses below the Tang army, and the two sides fought instantly.

The number of people on both sides was about the same, and the Tang army still had the support of the soldiers on the wall, and the enemy's corpse collection team soon couldn't bear to fight against the Tang army, and retreated, and when the Tang army finished cleaning up and swaggered into the city, they cautiously stepped forward, and under the cold gaze of the soldiers on the wall, they put away the corpses of their companions and quickly evacuated.

After a while, Cao Ming hurriedly stepped forward with a piece of paper and handed it to Chen Fei. "Lord Chen, this is the number of casualties and the loss of materials, please take a look."

Chen Fei took the paper and said with a smile: "Master Cao, you are higher than me in terms of qualifications and official positions, so you don't have to be so polite." ”

Cao Ming shook his head and insisted, Chen Fei couldn't say anything, picked up the paper and watched it carefully.

It's a string of bad data.

Even though the opponent's attack was not very fierce and he left thousands of corpses and fled in defeat, the casualties of the Tang army still made Chen Fei feel a tightness in his chest.

The death toll was a little better, with only seventy-six killed by the rain of arrows. But the number of wounded reached a full five hundred and thirty-six.

Most were wounded by bows and arrows, and a small number were wounded while resisting enemies who climbed the walls.

Don't look at the casualties that add up to only more than 600 people, which seems to be inconspicuous compared to 13,000 people, but you must know that of this 13,000 troops, there are only more than 6,000 real army soldiers, and the rest are improvised strong men.

Moreover, more than 6,000 soldiers were standing at the forefront of the battle to resist the enemy, which was the most important combat effectiveness, and the casualties reached one-tenth at once, which is a very terrifying number! Chen Fei was a little painful and a little worried. He always felt that the number of enemies should not be so small.

In fact, he was right to be worried. One of the scouts sent a few days ago quietly bypassed the Jade Gate Pass, intending to explore the outside of the pass.

As a result, as soon as I went around the boundary of Yumen Pass, I saw the yellow sand in the north, and it was suspected that there were a large number of people and horses walking.

The scout couldn't help but be frightened, and resisted the fear in his heart, rode up from the side, found a rock, and hid behind to quietly watch the moving yellow sand.

When the yellow sand approached, the scout finally saw the specific situation clearly, and couldn't help but be shocked, overwhelming, and the endless enemy was heading towards the Yumen Pass! There are three times more enemies than under Dunhuang City!

It's horrible! I didn't expect so many soldiers and horses to be dispatched from the Western Regions!

The scout hurriedly stepped on his horse and ran towards Dunhuang without looking back, this important information must be notified to the people in the city as soon as possible!

"Whoosh!" As soon as he stepped on his horse, an arrow flew past his ear.

Damn it! Someone found him!

The scout gritted his teeth, leaned against the horse's back, and kicked the horse in the belly with both feet, causing the horse to run back quickly.

At the same time, the enemy divided more than a dozen people and chased down the scout frantically.........

In Dunhuang City, Chen Fei always felt uneasy, and when he was not at ease, he sent more than a dozen scouts to bypass the enemy's camp and explore in the direction of the pass.

At the same time, he found Yin Ping.

Not for anything else, just because Yin Ping has a magic stick master, and a mysterious friend "Bao inquire".

"Brother Yin, this time I came to the Western Regions, did your master explain anything to you?" Chen Fei asked expectantly. Believe it or not, at least he found that many of the things that Master Yin Ping said were still very accurate and worthy of reference.

Yin Ping shook his head: "I didn't see the master before leaving." ”

Chen Fei........

"But..."Yin Ping changed his words and said, "But the master didn't come to me, which means that we are not in a fatal situation this time, you can rest assured." ”

"Don't worry! What if your master miscalculated, or didn't give us the calculation at all? No, that's unreliable! Let's ask which bag to change, did the letter he left last time say that the Holy Mother Sect and the Western Regions will move, have you heard other news during this time? ”

Yin Ping shook his head: "No, I can't contact him during this time." ”

"Damn! Gone? Why is it so unreliable? Chen Fei was disappointed.

Yin Ping was very calm: "My friend walks the rivers and lakes, naturally he won't stay in one place for too long, if there is something, he will have a way to contact me." ”

Seeing Chen Fei's sad face, Yin Ping added: "Don't worry, even if there is really danger, I will escort you out and rush out." Don't forget what you promised me, you were a guard for a year, and you can't owe this account! ”

"When did you become so shrewd? It's so clear. Chen Fei muttered, but with Yin Ping's promise, the burden in his heart is much lighter, with Yin Ping's skills, it should be worry-free to protect his life, but Dunhuang doesn't know if there will be danger.

If Dunhuang is lost, the life and death of these tens of thousands of people in the city will make him feel guilty for the rest of his life.

At nightfall, Cao Ming brought a good piece of good news, Chen Fei had collected all the materials he needed, and found a few skilled craftsmen in the city.

Chen Fei was looking for the materials to make the thunderbolt fire, and after several days of searching, he finally collected all the materials, of course, there were many materials that were redundant, and there were also some materials such as sulfur saltpeter that were more difficult to find, which were found by soldiers from outside the city at the risk of their lives.

"The night is not suitable for making thunderbolts, but tomorrow will start, and Lord Ben will personally go into battle to make thunderbolts!" Chen Fei also fought hard to defend the city!
