Chapter 59: Bringing Reinforcements
Judging from Shi Yuan's reaction, Jing Yifan knew that there must be something hidden from him. As a veteran, Shi Yuan has been following Chen Haoyan for a long time, and he must have seen something from this letter, but if Shi Yuan didn't say it, it was difficult for Jing Yifan to guess.
"Brother Shi Yuan, I don't know how many troops Jin Jinjian has left?"
"In addition to the old, weak, sick and disabled, there are less than 80,000 people left. ”
Eighty thousand, it seems like a lot, but in fact, if a big war really breaks out, it can only be the bottom. In another place, the defenders will be several times more than here, and the number of people here is so small, it is completely dependent on the topography of Jinjinjian.
However, even in the castle that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, there is a day when it will be broken, and if the enemy comes, how long can it resist with the terrain of Jinjin Stream and this mere 80,000 people. Jing Yifan didn't believe that he could figure out something, and Chen Haoyan, as a veteran of the battlefield, couldn't think of it.
Could it be that the war has already reached such a point? Jing Yifan couldn't help but wonder.
"Brother Shi Yuan, if you want to use only 50,000 people to guard Jin Jinjian for half a month, can you do it?"
"This ......" Shi Yuan thought for a while, and said confidently: "Yes, but I'm afraid that the whole army will be wiped out." ”
Even with the advantage of Jinjinjian's terrain, Shi Yuan can't guarantee that he can hold it, but if he just wants to hold it for half a month, he can still do it.
However, what Jing Yifan was waiting for was this sentence, Chen Haoyan was fighting alone, and if there was no military advisor by his side to assist, he was afraid that he would eat the enemy's strategy. Since there has been no news of the defeat so far, that is to say, Chen Haoyan is still in a stalemate with the enemy, this is Jing Yifan's opportunity, after reading so many military codexes, he knows that it is time for him to make a move.
"Brother Shi Yuan, then you immediately order the collection of troops and send 30,000 soldiers to follow me to reinforce Brother Chen. ”
"No, you ......" Shi Yuan's eyes widened, and he was surprised, and he didn't even think about refusing directly. Let him send 30,000 people to reinforce him, how can this be done? The army is already insufficient, and if a part of it is divided, it will not put Jin Jinjian on the tiger's mouth. and Jing Yifan is young, let him lead the troops for reinforcements, how is it possible, how can leading the troops to fight be child's play, he will never agree.
"This is for Brother Shi Yuan to know, are you still going to stop me now?"
Forced into desperation, Jing Yifan could only take out the Golden Dragon Order again. Shi Yuan's face was gloomy, and he opened his mouth but couldn't speak. Jin Longling's power is very important, let alone dispatching soldiers, even if he lets Jin Jinjian out of his hands now, he doesn't dare to say a word.
Disobeying the Golden Dragon Order is disobeying the current saint, and he can't afford such a big crime.
"The villain doesn't dare!"
Shi Yuan hurriedly knelt down, he didn't want to kneel Jing Yifan, but to bow down to the Golden Dragon Order. The golden dragon order represents the emperor, and when he sees the order, he is a small soldier, how dare he make a mistake.
"Brother Shi Yuan doesn't have to be polite, get up. Go and gather 30,000 soldiers and horses to wait outside the camp now, and I'll pack up and set off at once, and you help me find the man who sent the letter with me, and I need his help in something. ”
Jing Yifan returned to the camp and saw He Xin'er. Because she was pulled back halfway, this little girl was still full of resentment towards Jing Yifan, and she didn't bother to pay attention to Jing Yifan when she saw it, and she was playing with the goods she just bought today.
Jing Yifan knew that He Xin'er was just sulking, and he didn't take it seriously. After cleaning up, I told her about what I wanted to go to the front. Hearing the news, of course He Xin'er wanted to follow, but she was scolded by Jing Yifan, who had always talked well with Yan Yuese, but this time she was scolded by Jing Yifan, this little girl was angry, and ran out crying.
The battlefield is not a place where you can go if you want to, this reinforcement, Jing Yifan has no score in his heart, to be honest, whether he can come back alive this time is a question, how can he Xin'er go with him. This little girl followed her here with all the difficulty, Jing Yifan was already very self-blaming in her heart, and now she couldn't let her put herself in danger.
Jing Yifan would rather she resent herself than let her be hurt in any way.
The war was urgent, Jing Yifan knew that now was not the time to talk about his children's private affairs, until another occasion, he didn't see He Xin'er's figure, and he didn't know where this little girl went to sulk. Jing Yifan had no choice but to ask Shi Yuan to help take care of He Xin'er, and then set off with an army of 30,000.
This is Jing Yifan's first time leading troops, and there is an indescribable apprehension in his heart. Looking at the high city wall behind him, the breeze blew across his face, blowing thousands of green threads.
At this time, Jing Yifan finally realized the artistic conception contained in this poem.
Out of the Jinjin Stream, Jing Yifan knew what it meant to be desolate, the endless yellow sand was rolling, the flat terrain could see through dozens of miles at a glance, and in this desolate land, there was not a single tree that could not be seen, except for dead grass and wild vegetables, there was nothing else.
How can people survive in such a barren land?
"General, the enemy army is camped ten miles away, and no movement has been found. ”
Chen Haoyan sat in the camp tent, his brows furrowed, a whole day had passed, and the enemy army had not moved, which was quite weird. This time, the enemy army came with an army of 100,000 troops, and it was more than enough to deal with them, but since he led the troops to resist for a while a day ago, the enemy army retreated, and now there has been no movement for a whole day, this situation makes Chen Haoyan can't think of what the other party wants to do.
"Continue to monitor the enemy's every move, and report to me as soon as there is any disturbance. ”
"Yes, General. ”
What do you want to do? The disparity in forces but not attacking is by no means as simple as it seems. The quieter the enemy army was, the more worried Chen Haoyan became. He wanted to attack, but the difference in numbers was huge, so he could only retreat here and defend passively.
After passing through a desolate place, a great river and mountain finally appeared in front of me. The mountains stretch for thousands of miles, and flowers and plants can be seen everywhere. After being introduced by others, Jing Yifan knew the reason for this.
Legend has it that hundreds of years ago, Jinjin Stream was also a good place for splendid mountains and rivers, and although it was located on the border, it was also a holy place where many literati and scholars often visited. It is said that at that time from the sky and two immortals, the appearance of immortals should be a good thing, but these two immortals are a big fight, at that time it can be said that the sky is dark, the sun and the moon have no light, after the war, the mountains and rivers are broken, the sun and the moon are reversed, the four seasons are chaotic, originally a beautiful splendid mountains and rivers, just destroyed in one fell swoop, continued to the present, has completely become like this, the trees do not grow, the mountains and rocks are not seen, and even the birds do not want to stay here.
A battle between heaven and man made a hundred miles of desolation, although Jing Yifan lamented the methods of the immortals, but he was more sad about this area.
