Chapter 246: Border Pass
Another ten days passed, and Chen Yifan and the others finally arrived at their destination, the border pass. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The general guarding the city came to greet Chen Yifan with his injuries, and the moment he saw Chen Yifan, he seemed to see a savior, holding Chen Yifan's hand and greeting him non-stop.
"General Chen, you are finally here, if you don't come again, I won't be able to hold the city, fortunately, you are here, we can rest assured, I don't know how many soldiers General Chen brought with him this time?"
When he looked behind him, he felt a lot more at ease when he saw the soldiers, but when he saw that there were only a few thousand soldiers, and when there were no more, his heart sank.
"General Chen, there won't be only such a few soldiers, right? Is there no one in the back? General Chen, you're not kidding me, are you? ”
The general who guarded the general was called Ma Long, that is, the one in front of him, not a tall and burly man, but a general about one meter six, who insisted on holding the border gate for a period of time, so that the enemy on the opposite side could not enter a step.
I have to say that this person still has some strength, Chen Yifan glanced around, it was very miserable, there were many wounded soldiers, and it seemed that he had just experienced a fierce battle.
The surrounding houses, as well as the people, have walked a lot, and have been plagued by the battle, looking at the lack of many people, Chen Yifan looked at the sky again, and it had gradually entered the twilight, it seemed that tonight was another sleepless night.
"You two, take someone up to have a look, and a few of you, get familiar with the surroundings as soon as possible, you just stay where you are, do a good rest, there may be a tough battle tonight."
"Meng Hao, you take someone to prepare, remember, be careful, it's best not to be exposed."
"Yes, General." Meng Hao bowed and left with the people, watching the people in front of him leave quickly and arrange everything, Ma Long began to complain: "General Chen, you people, you can't hold the enemy, the place opposite is too crazy, these days have been besieging the city, more than half of our army has died, if it goes on like this, we will all die here." ”
"How many enemies are there?"
"30,000 infantry, 3,000 cavalry, about a few thousand dead, strong combat effectiveness, the leading general on the opposite side is the great diligence of the Tang Dynasty, this person is not enough to attack, more than enough to defend the city, this time I don't know why this person was sent, the last general looked strange."
Ma Long told me what happened these days, the enemy has always used the same pattern of siege, every day to attack, halfway to retreat, and then the next day, the third day, the fourth day, every day, such days, for five days.
Today is the evening of the fifth day, after Chen Yifan listened, his brows furrowed, is it like this for five days? If something goes wrong, there must be a demon.
"General Marlon, are you aware of it?"
"What? Checkmate. Ma Long looked at the man in front of him in a daze, he was strangely young, but he would not look down on him because he was young, he could lead the army here, and he was also a general, there was no one he could look down on.
And he heard that this person is the current celebrity of His Majesty, and he cannot be offended.
"Don't you notice that they're tempting all these days? I think there's going to be a big move tonight, and you get your men ready. Chen Yifan looked at the sky and gradually entered the night sky, Ma Long was stunned for a moment, thought about it carefully, as if it was really the case, he hurriedly went to order, recuperate, and prepare for battle.
At night, the night sky at the border is pitch black, and there is no light.
The people gradually left, and the people who remained either couldn't leave, or didn't want to go, Chen Yifan stood on the city wall, looking at the darkness outside, and the quiet atmosphere made people feel frightened.
Ma Long stood beside Chen Yifan, he didn't say anything about this new general, but there was always a disdain in his heart, so I just watched you quietly and pretended to be forced to see if tonight would be like what you thought.
After waiting for a long time, he didn't see any signs, and the enemy seemed to be quiet, Chen Yifan waved his hand, the torches on the city wall were half lowered, and those soldiers sat down one after another, leaning against the wall, holding their weapons, ready to attack at any time.
The night gradually deepened, Chen Yifan's eyes also became deeper, looking outside, Ma Long beside him couldn't help it, and stepped forward to ask: "General, will the enemy really come?" ”
"Yes, you just follow the order, you don't need to ask too much, how is the enemy, will it come, you just need to watch." Chen Yifan's eyes were motionless and looked ahead, and Ren Hanfeng's cheeks were cold.
Suddenly, Meng Hao came up, he said something in Chen Yifan's ear, Chen Yifan looked at him, lowered his voice and said, "Really? ”
"People have been caught, more than a dozen people, all the people who resisted have been killed, and there are still three left, who want to bite their tongues and commit suicide, but we stopped them, and under torture to extract confessions, they confessed, and the enemy will definitely come tonight."
"In that case, let's kill them, it's useless to keep them, we don't have much food to feed them." Chen Yifan waved his hand and said flatly.
"Yes." Meng Hao went down, as for what he was going to do, Ma Long knew it, and he was shocked in his heart, someone had mixed in, and he was still going to sneak attack, he looked at Chen Yifan's gaze, it became different, strange and shocked.
As soon as he entered the border pass, he was able to catch those people, and if he hadn't come and guarded the border pass himself, he would have found that it had been broken.
Suddenly, countless soldiers appeared in front, it should have been after seeing the fire inside, they came to attack, it was Chen Yifan who ordered Meng Hao to create a signal to confuse the enemy, he raised his hand, and the archers who were squatting stood up one after another.
Tightened the bowstring and stared ahead, in the darkness, you could see their cold killing intent, Ma Long stared at the soldiers who appeared in front, vigorous, more terrifying than before.
It seems that the opposite side wants to take the border pass with one blow, he looked at Chen Yifan, waiting for his order, Chen Yifan looked at the front calmly, in the dark, his eyes emitted a terrifying cold light, as if the enemy on the opposite side was dead.
Ma Long held his breath, he didn't dare to give orders at will, looking at Chen Yifan, the enemy was getting closer and closer, and when he reached the attack range, Chen Yifan hadn't given the order yet, Ma Long couldn't help but be anxious in his heart, but he didn't move, waiting.
"Shoot the arrows."
The hand fell, Ma Long shouted, the bows and arrows on the city wall let go one after another, shot out, countless bows and arrows, falling like rain, all over the place, and then there were screams everywhere.
After one radiation, Chen Yifan raised his hand, and the second radiation, the bow and arrows were dense, and they took a lot of lives at once, and the opposite side was still moving forward, Chen Yifan looked out coldly.
"Shoot the arrows."
The bow and arrow rained all over the world, taking the lives of countless people, and the opposite side obviously found out that something was wrong, so he hurriedly retreated, but unfortunately it was too late, most of the soldiers were divided, the back could retreat, but the front could not, Chen Yifan pressed his hand, the bow and arrow stopped radiating, and the city gate opened.
Meng Hao led the cavalry to rush out, holding a spear, followed by two teasers, rushed out, fell into the soldiers, shook the weapon in his hand, and took a life.
Through the neck, interspersed with the chest, a knife and a sword, a gun and a halberd, the screams are endless.
"Kill."
There was a roar, the cavalry rushed over, scattered the soldiers, the weapons fell, and the soldiers died.
Rushed back again, twice in a row, all the attacking soldiers, dead and wounded, looking at the record in front of him, Meng Hao did not linger, took the cavalry back, closed the city gate, Chen Yifan above, after seeing the soldiers outside retreating.
"Let's go down and clean up the battlefield."
Dead people should not be stacked for too long, otherwise, it is easy to spread the plague.
Ma Long ordered the soldiers to go down and burn the corpses, they couldn't bury them, there were too many people, burning could reduce the generation of many epidemics, he followed Chen Yifan, looked at Chen Yifan, and admired it in his heart.
Just came, has broken the enemy's plan, let the enemy fold here, this battle, the other side died two thousand people, it seems that it is not much, in fact it is already a lot, compared to the previous few days of siege combined, more than the previous few days combined.
Moreover, this time, they took the initiative to attack, with few casualties, almost one for a hundred, this kind of record is something he has never had.
"General, how do you know that they will do it?"
"Is that hard to guess? Five days in a row to try, today will definitely make a move, even if you don't make a move today, you will shoot tomorrow, and the reason why I calculated that they will do it today is not for other people, intuition. ”
Gut feeling? Malone was confused, is this really just intuition?
He doesn't believe in this explanation, if the enemy attacks, if it is just based on intuition, it is too child's play, right?
"Don't believe me?"
Malone nodded, it's ridiculous, intuition, if that's the case, then you're a god.
"Hehe, I don't believe it either."
“……。” You don't believe it yourself, how can you let others believe it, Ma Long's mood at the moment may be a little better than that of the other party's generals, at least his side is victorious, and over there, he has failed, and so many people have died.
The reason why Chen Yifan saw that they would attack was because Meng Hao had discovered the traces of the other party, and the enemy had already appeared, so it would definitely not be too late to attack, and on the way here, he had already begun to send people to collect information from here, as well as the news of the other party's generals, all of which were in Chen Yifan's heart.
He knows what the enemy will think, how to do it, whether he is attacking or testing, he knows himself and his opponent, and he will win a hundred battles.
Of course, he won't tell Marlon these words, let him guess more, so that he can have a little more mystery.
With a sense of mystery, he naturally doesn't ask so much.
"What? Two thousand people died, what did you eat? ”
In the Tang camp, the roaring Qin Neng stared at Cheng Lao in front of him, eager to slap it over, everything was ready, but this person let himself lose two thousand soldiers, that is two thousand soldiers, not two hundred, not twenty, two thousand soldiers, these days the temptation has not died so much, and the other party has not lost much, this is where he is most angry.
