Chapter 278: Divine Archer
A few days later, Lord Liang returned with the people of the grain transport team, and those who were lightly injured were now basically able to walk.
Those who were seriously injured were pulled back by the wagon, and anyway, there was no food on the wagon, so he took them back.
When Lord Liang left, Xi Chen had already entered the military and followed the hundred generals introduced by Lord Liang.
However, this hundred people did not take care of Xi Chen, and threw Xi Chen to a chief, that is, there were ten people under his hands.
Even if Xi Chen is a small soldier back to Jiangcheng now, they are going to change their guards.
On the position outside Huijiang City, some fortifications have been built, and after the people from the Jin Kingdom come, you will directly use the walls of Huijiang City to defend.
If you use the walls of Huijiang City to defend every time, how many times can you defend it?
Therefore, their position, in fact, is a field outside Huijiang City, which is an open field, and some fortifications have been built.
However, the terrain is not advantageous because of the flat terrain.
But two miles ahead, there is a pass, which can also be used as a defense.
Changing the defense is changing the defense pass, and Xi Chen is the first time to come with the team today.
Xiaodu brought people to change the guard, five hundred people at a time.
After Xi Chen came with the team, he was here at the pass, where there was a camp and a watchtower, which was prepared for them.
After the five hundred people arrived, the remaining five hundred people left and went back to Jiangcheng to repair.
"Guard your post."
Xiao Du confessed, went into the tent, and handed it over to the people below.
Xi Chen is here for the first time, and the terrain of the war is really important now.
Because there are some heavenly curses that cannot be reversed.
The reason why Huijiang City has been able to persist to this day is that this pass has made great contributions.
Xi Chen observed the pass, it was indeed easy to defend and difficult to attack, no wonder the Jin Kingdom had attacked Huijiang City for so long.
Huijiangcheng is now a thorn in their side, a thorn in the flesh, if they want to continue to attack, they must defeat Huijiangcheng.
Huijiangcheng is always waiting for it, the pass here has been opened once, and the enemy troops of Jinguo are already attacking the gate of Huijiangcheng.
But fortunately, the general in Huijiang City had some ability, and he beat the people of the Jin Kingdom out and recaptured the pass.
Otherwise, this time Jiangcheng, I am afraid that it would have fallen long ago.
"Alas, have you heard, I heard that there is a sharpshooter in Huijiang City."
"Sharpshooter? Why haven't I heard, let's hear about it. ”
Everyone stood here bored, so they started chatting, and Xi Chen also pricked up his ears and listened to what everyone said.
A soldier said, "Don't you know, that sharpshooter pierced through Yang in a hundred steps, and I heard that he also killed a hundred generals of the Jin Kingdom." ”
"Really?"
"I can't lie to you, it's just a few days ago."
Hearing the words of these people, Xi Chen suddenly remembered Cao Wenhan in his mind.
Cao Wenhan is not good at marksmanship, there are no guns here, but there are bows and arrows.
However, Xi Chen does not have a bow and arrow now, and the bow and arrow are used by professional soldiers.
The sharpshooter they are talking about, is it Cao Wenhan?
Xi Chen felt that some time ago, it was just when they came over.
Xi Chen opened his mouth and asked, "The archer you are talking about, are we going back to Jiangcheng?" ”
"Yes, it's back to Jiangcheng, it's the people who are back to Jiangcheng's Divine Arrow Camp." One of them said.
Xi Chen has heard of this magic arrow battalion, this battalion is full of archers, is Cao Wenhan in it?
Xi Chen felt that he might be able to wait until he went back to Jiangcheng and then inquired.
Just as Xi Chen was about to go back to Jiangcheng to inquire, another person said, "I heard that the sharpshooter was sent to Maocheng. ”
Maocheng?
Maocheng was the city after they returned to Jiangcheng, the last city occupied by the Jin army.
"Sent to Maocheng?" Xi Chen asked.
"That's right, the general has always wanted to take Maocheng back, so that we don't have to worry about it."
"This time, I sent the archers over, I'm afraid there will be a war on the battlefield."
Hearing their words, Xi Chen felt a little difficult.
If that archer was really Cao Wenhan, he went to Maocheng, but Xi Chen couldn't go.
Xi Chen: They are soldiers who have returned to Jiangcheng, and it is impossible for Xi Chen to say that he wants to go to Maocheng alone.
It seems that in a short period of time, I am afraid that I will not be able to wait for Cao Wenhan.
Cao Wenhan's news was vaguely found, but Fang Siyu and Gu Guanqing still had no news, and Xi Chen could only continue to wait.
In the days of the change of defense at the pass, Xi Chen did not wait for the soldiers of the Jin State.
If the Jin soldiers were to attack in a big way, their spies would come back and tell them the news.
The pass is a place for defense, but there are many spies outside the pass, which are defending against every move of the soldiers of the Jin Kingdom.
Jin Guo also has spies operating outside the pass, also to prevent them from making any moves.
Spies on both sides, also known as scouts, will collide and rub on the outside.
When it was impossible for the army to fight, they would also compete outside, sometimes they could kill some people from the Jin country, and sometimes they were killed by the people of the Jin country, which was a common thing.
Xi Chen: They can change their guard and go back tomorrow, this time their task is completed, they can go back to Jiangcheng, and come back in ten days.
The people who stayed to stand guard at night, everyone else went to rest, and Xi Chen also went to rest.
But as soon as Xi Chen fell asleep, he saw a fire outside, exploding in the sky.
Flares.
This is a signal flare made by the Xia Guoshen Machine Battalion, to put it bluntly, it is similar to fireworks.
The moment they saw the flare, everyone knew something was wrong.
"The spies outside are asking for help, they should have encountered the spies of the Jin Kingdom, and now they are in danger." Xiao Dutong said.
"You can't send a lot of people out, if the spies of the Jin Kingdom think that we are going to attack, it will be trouble." Another said.
They can't send too many people out now, too many people go out to be seen by the people of the Jin Kingdom, and they think they are going to attack in a big way.
can't cause this situation, so Xiao Dutong said: "Let one take people out and see if they can save people." ”
Coincidentally, this chief is Xi Chen.
After receiving the order, Shi Chang did not hesitate, and asked Xi Chen and them, "Do you all know how to ride a horse?" ”
"Yes." Everyone said that although it was not a cavalry, it was no problem to ride a horse.
Xi Chen happens to be able to ride a horse, and he also has equestrian skills, and Xi Chen also nodded.
"Go get the horses, hurry, I hope we can save them." Shi Chang was a little worried about the spies outside, they had already sent a signal flare, and it was very dangerous now, otherwise they would not have alarmed these people in the pass.
Turning over their horses, everyone ran out, and this time they went eleven people.
"In this direction." He remembered the direction of the flare and rushed over with everyone.
The distance is not very far, almost three miles, and their speed is not slow.
It's just that it's getting late, and I can only use the night light, and I'm not familiar with this place, and I can't distinguish many things.
Fortunately, Shi Chang is more familiar with this place, and it is because he is familiar with it that he sent their team out.
