Chapter 2 The king's capital prepares for war
The royal capital.
Military Chamber.
The dull and neat pace resounded heavily in the corridor, and the face of the leader was like water, and a majestic aura of the king slowly dispersed.
"See the Commander-in-Chief!"
The guards on both sides saluted.
The military chamber is relatively spacious, the layout is simple, and all the equipment is available.
Xuanyuan Xue and the others were looking at the terrain on the sand table with solemn expressions, and when they saw Ye Gucheng coming, they quickly saluted.
"How is the war now" Although Ye Gucheng was asking, his eyes were firmly fixed on the sand table.
"Commander Hui, according to reliable sources, the total number of enemy troops is 600,000, and the name is to march into Fancheng, but in fact it intends to attack Incineration City. "It was Xuanyuan Jianhong who spoke, and the army was not like the court, and the generals were superiors and subordinates, so they were only called subordinates, not ministers.
"Incineration City?" Zhang Yi was stunned for a moment, and said suspiciously: "How is this possible? Judging from the Guangcheng emergency report, there must be a detailed infiltration in our army, and the distribution of troops in each city should be very clear to the enemy, Chen Ping is not a mediocre person, why should he choose the most difficult city to attack? It is impossible for him not to know, if he can't quickly take the incineration, he will definitely counterattack, and besides, even if he can really capture the incineration, if he wants to enter the royal capital, incineration is by no means a shortcut. ”
"The right minister doesn't know, this is the insidious place of the enemy, they expected that our army would defend Fancheng with heavy troops, and lure all our reinforcements into Fancheng with suspicious tactics, at that time, the incineration city must relax its vigilance, they just took the opportunity to capture in one fell swoop, and the enemy army in Panyu City was also intended to involve our troops. These Beiyi, who killed a thousand knives, will definitely cramp and skin them when I arrive with my army. "Xuanyuan Xue has been pressing a fire in her heart since she learned that Guangcheng had fallen and her relatives had died in battle.
"Is this news reliable? How can our army know the enemy's secrets?" Zhang Yi was still deeply skeptical.
"The news is absolutely reliable, a scout of our army was arrested, accidentally learned the secret, and was later killed, but fortunately, he was killed, and he failed to pierce the heart with a sword, and went straight to the incineration report with a sigh of relief. ”
"Walking?" this time it was Ye Gucheng who spoke.
Xuanyuan Xue was stunned for a moment, and said truthfully: "This... The subordinates have not yet examined it carefully. ”
"Check, check carefully, don't miss any details. ”
"Yes!"
"Order, all the reinforcements secretly rush to help Fancheng, remember, secret, I want to keep it absolutely secret, incinerate the nearest army to strengthen the incineration city as usual, and the cities are only allowed to hold on, not to fight. ”
"Commander, what does this mean?" Xuanyuan Xue was taken aback and hurriedly said: "If there is no reinforcement to help, in the face of the enemy's main army, it will be difficult for the incineration defenders to hold on. ”
"Who told you that the main forces of the enemy army are incinerating?" Ye Gucheng's eyes finally withdrew from the sand table and slowly fell on Xuanyuan Xue.
Xuanyuan Xue was stunned.
"Xiang Zhuang's sword dance is intended for Pei Gong! It seems that there are handsome talents in the Northern Netherworld Alliance!"
Of course, Ye Gucheng is just a guess, but if it is really a secret and does not leak out, it must be confirmed that the scout will definitely die, and how can he not investigate it in detail? Moreover, the enemy army is still a few days away from Fancheng, and the scout must report before the enemy army arrives, and he must be faster than the enemy army, and the way to be faster than the enemy army is to speed up the horse, and the war horse in the army is strictly controlled, especially during the combat period, how can an enemy scout steal the war horse, it must be deliberate!
"Commander, what do you mean by that?"
Mo said that Xuanyuan Xue and others were confused, and Zhang Yi, who was full of reading poems, was also confused, this sentence was unheard of, and he couldn't understand the meaning.
"Herald. Ye Gucheng didn't explain much, and said in a deep voice: "The royal capital quickly reorganized the army in the vicinity, and three days later, he will go out with the commander to lead the army." ”
"Obey!" Xuanyuan Xue and the others immediately received the order.
Seeing this, Zhang Yi hurriedly admonished: "The commander can't lead the army, the army has its own General Xuanyuan Xue, and the commander's top priority is to sit in the court and appease the people." ”
"I've made up my mind, and I don't need to say more. Ye Guchengtou did not go back.
Seeing that Ye Gucheng was so resolute, Zhang Yi's face became even more ugly, and he couldn't help but look at Xuanyuan Xue.
"Don't count on me, I can't persuade the commander. Xuanyuan Xue refused without thinking about it.
Zhang Yi suddenly chopped his feet a few times and sighed.
The sun is scorching, and the mountains are stacked.
Xuanyuan Junhou was very tired, but this exhaustion was far less than the sorrow in his heart.
10,000 soldiers!
In order to ensure the safe escape of the people and the large army, 10,000 soldiers were willing to stay behind the broken back, and the outcome of the broken end can be known without guessing!
The road is still very long, the feet are like lead, heavy, difficult to step forward, the people are firm, without a word, they know that they can still take steps, is the result of countless soldiers in exchange for their lives.
"How much time is there left in Fancheng?" Xuanyuan Junhou's lips were shriveled and he was very thirsty, so he could only rely on beads of sweat to quench his thirst.
In order to speed up their journey, they did not even have the opportunity to find water.
"One day to go. The lieutenant general was also thirsty, but he could only endure it.
"One more day!" Xuanyuan Junhou smiled bitterly, with the enemy's marching speed, it is estimated that they can catch up in a few hours, not to mention, they are walking on a mountain road at the moment!
For no reason, Xuanyuan Junhou looked at Huangpu Hua and said in a deep voice: "Sir, is there still a way to delay the enemy?"
Huangpu Hua gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "The villain does have a plan, but... ”
"Sir, but it doesn't hurt. "Xuanyuan Junhou seems to be mentally prepared.
"At the moment, the mountain road is narrow, which can be used as an obstacle for soldiers to cut down trees and boulders. When Huang Puhua said this, he took a deep breath and continued: "However, in this way, there must be some soldiers left behind. ”
Xuanyuan Junhou was stunned, and there were not many of his soldiers left!
"After his subordinate Xuanyuan Gao is willing to lead three thousand soldiers, please ask the major general to promise. A general fell to his knees and begged for his life.
Xuanyuan Junhou looked at the deputy general deeply, saluted solemnly, and said in a deep voice: "Accurate!"
"Major General Xie!" the adjutant general quickly got up and turned away. "Order, quickly cut down trees, move boulders, fill in all the mountain paths, and not a single flying insect will be allowed to let me go. ”
For a time, the 3,000 soldiers selected dragged their tired bodies, felling logs, and digging boulders.
The townsfolk knew that they should speed up their pace at this moment, but they still turned their heads frequently and involuntarily, and a tall back was like an unattainable mountain in their eyes at the moment.
"Father, I also want to be a soldier, I want to be like them, protect everyone, protect our homeland. ”
The speaker was a child, about 12 years old, with tears in his eyes and an unusually firm tone.
"Okay! When Gai'er can join the army, father, I will personally send you to the barracks. The middle-aged man wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, still retracted his gaze, gritted his teeth and took steps.
The sun was covered at some point, and the gloomy sky made the three thousand soldiers look uplifted.
It's going to rain!
Thinking of this possibility, the soldiers couldn't help but stick out the tip of their tongues, and their Adam's apple slid for a while.
Xuanyuan Gao saw that the soldiers were struggling to block the last boulder, and said loudly: "Brothers, bear with us, we will soon get together with the general, and on the Temple of the God of War, we can all pat our chests and say to the general, we are the real warriors of Huaxia, worthy of the general, worthy of the commander! Defend Huaxia until death!"
"Defend Huaxia until death!"
For a while, the expression was excited, and all the soldiers, regardless of their surnames, shouted loudly.
The earth trembled, and the neighing of war horses came from far and near.
Xuanyuan Gao's expression was cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Prepare for war." ”
The archers quickly took up their task to stop the enemy troops from moving the boulders at all costs.
When Li Yunlong saw the several meters long obstacle blocking in front of him, his face turned green with anger, and he roared violently: "Kill me." ”
The embarrassing side has appeared!
Although Li Yunlong has hundreds of thousands of troops, cavalry, infantry, and archers, he can play a very small role on the narrow and crowded mountain road, even if they shoot at each other, because the position affects the range, the lethality is very limited, which seriously affects the progress.
Li Yunlong didn't care about this time, and his goal was not to completely annihilate the enemy army, but he couldn't tolerate hundreds of thousands of troops being congested on the mountain road by thousands of enemy troops. In a fit of rage, he ordered the obstacles to be forcibly removed without counting the casualties.
Seeing that the obstacles were rapidly decreasing, Xuanyuan Gao kept roaring: "Archer, don't waste arrows, aim and shoot." ”
The rain of arrows on both sides shuttled back and forth, compared to the endless enemy army, on the Huaxia side, every person who fell meant that the defensive force was one point less!
There are very few archers left, and there are very few of their arrows!
The most lethal thing is the physical exhaustion, many people can barely pull the bow, the obstacles are getting fewer and fewer, the enemy army is getting closer and closer, and finally, the last arrow breaks through the air!
Li Yunlong's expression was lifted, and he roared violently: "Quick, move all these damn things away for me." ”
For a moment, the coalition forces were like chickens, and they buried their heads in moving away from the rolling wooden boulders.
Xuanyuan Gao's expression was silent, he slowly drew his sword, and said in a loud voice: "Soldiers, it's time! Use our swords and our bodies as the last barrier! We must let them know that even if there are no boulders and rolling logs, they should not try to step into our land for half a step." ”
"Defend the kingdom until death!"
The roar shook through the mountains and forests and reached the nine skies.
Click-boom!
The sky was furious, and the rain was pouring down.
Coincidentally, the soldiers of Huaxia stretched out their tongues one after another, greedily absorbing the last mouthful of nectar, and gradually recovered their long-lost strength.
The gap in the obstacle was finally opened, and the enemy troops rushed through the gap.
"Hold it off for me, even if you still have a breath, you won't be allowed to lie down for me, kill!" Xuanyuan Gao's roar made the two armies officially collide.
The screams and the clashing of weapons resounded on the narrow mountain road.
The rain-washed earth was stained with bright red blood, and the green mountains and green leaves were gradually covered with layers of terrifying scarlet.
Li Yunlong's anger at the beginning slowly turned into silence, and then, his eyes were inadvertently dyed with a faint horror, for no reason, he began to regret it!
Huaxia Kingdom may not be as unbearable as the temple says!
Thousands of soldiers actually made their hundreds of thousands of troops stand still for several hours, if they faced a Huaxia army of comparable strength, I am afraid that they will really be defeated!
The fight is still going on, stalemate, and Li Yunlong's heart is becoming more and more bottomless.
