Chapter 68: The Raptors Cross the River
γBroadcastγPay attention to "Reading at the starting point", get the first-hand news of 515 red envelopes, and students who have not grabbed red envelopes after the Chinese New Year can show their skills this time.
Soon after Jing Yifan's disappearance, Chen Haoyan sent an emergency letter to Yi Que, hoping that Wang Du would send a new military advisor to garrison him. However, because of Jing Yifan's disappearance for no reason, Nalan Hongyi did not dare to send a military advisor to come. Every chess master is the precious wealth of the Hongtian Dynasty, and if one is assassinated, there will be one less, and Hongtian can't afford to consume it.
As a result, Chen Haoyan only received the news he was waiting for, and as for the affairs of the military division, there was no news at all.
Seeing that the enemy army was already approaching the city, Chen Haoyan could only fight with his back and fight with the enemy.
After listening to Chen Haoyan's story, Jing Yifan was the most angry. The territory that he worked so hard to regain was lost in the blink of an eye, and the cooked duck could still fly, how could Jing Yifan accept it.
"Brother Chen, how many soldiers does Jin Jinjian have available now?"
"Excluding the disabled, there are less than 80,000. β
After pondering for a while, Jing Yifan said: "Brother Chen, the enemy is menacing, and only 80,000 people can barely hold Jinjinjian, if the enemy army is desperate to capture Jinjinjian, we can't stop it." So we can only take the initiative to attack and catch the enemy by surprise. β
Due to the lack of a military advisor, Chen Haoyan has been very aggrieved in the past six months, retreating again and again, although he has ensured the casualties of the soldiers, but as a general, he would rather die on the battlefield than steal his life, who can know the bitterness in Chen Haoyan's heart?
The uselessness of heroes, and the helplessness of having more than enough strength to do so, made Chen Haoyan add a few wisps of hero-like loneliness.
Jing Yifan's words were like flames in the ice and snow, igniting the bonfire that was extinguished in his heart. Let him see the dawn, he has seen Jing Yifan's ability, and he has a blind confidence in Jing Yifan, because he knows that with Jing Yifan's existence, it is more difficult for the enemy to take Jin Jinjian than to ascend to the sky.
After enduring it for so long, he can finally show his skills, and of course Chen Haoyan agreed to all of Jing Yifan's requests.
Jing Yifan once again took command of the army, and a brutal war was coming.
Jing Yifan's return, Chen Haoyan did not leak the news. When Jing Yifan returned to the camp where he originally lived, he learned the news that He Xin'er had left.
After inquiry, I learned that Chen Haoyan sent someone to send her back, and a woman lived in the barracks and was always inconvenient. In the past, it was because of Jing Yifan, there was nothing to avoid. Since Jing Yifan's disappearance, He Xin'er has been sad for a long time, and there are a group of big men in the barracks, so that they can deal with mountain birds and beasts, but they can't coax people. In the end, Chen Haoyan found out He Xin'er's identity and sent her away.
It was also a good thing for Jing Yifan that He Xin'er went back, and finally got rid of this little burden, and it was too late for Jing Yifan to be happy.
It's cold, and the wind is cold.
The battle flag fluttered in the wind, and the sound of rustling was endless. In this cold winter approach, the two armies finally got on the head.
The enemy soldiers are approaching the city, and the outside of Jin Jinjian has become a desert because of the battle between heaven and man, even if Jing Yifan has a plan full of brains, it is useless here.
Jing Yifan has been thinking of a way to force the enemy army back, as long as the enemy army retreats from the desert in front of him, the enemy's advantage will become useless.
The time and place are favorable, and Jing Yifan is only one of them.
Maybe God is also helping him, the weather has cooled down significantly in recent days, it is located on the edge of the desert, the temperature difference between day and night is even greater, with the easy defense and difficult attack of Jin Jinjian, the enemy army is difficult to overcome, Jing Yifan believes that as long as the enemy's military division is not a fool, he will definitely retreat.
"Brother Yifan, it's cold, you better go back and rest. β
Above the city, Jing Yifan stood at a wall, watching the movements of the enemy army.
He turned his head, smiled slightly, and said, "Brother Chen, this kind of weather may last for half a month, and the enemy army will definitely retreat within three days." β
"Great, the soldiers below can't bear it anymore, so they wait for these turtle grandsons to retreat, and finally wait for this day. Oh, and the padded jackets you asked me to prepare are ready, and the army can set off at any time. β
"Well, I still need Brother Chen's help with something. β
"What's the matter?"
"I need a lot of hay and wood, and Brother Chen tries to help me collect it, the more the better. β
"This ...... All right. Chen Haoyan frowned, he couldn't figure out what Jing Yifan wanted these hay to do, even if it was cold and he used hay for warmth, it wouldn't work.
Three days later, the enemy retreated, as Jing Yifan expected.
The enemy army that has withdrawn from the desert is like a poisonous snake that has lost its fangs. A gladiatorial battle between hunters and beasts began.
It's getting colder and colder, and winter is coming!
The snow is falling, everything is quiet, and the thick snow covers the whole land, so that the whole world is dressed in a white coat.
The whole Hongtian was silent in a silence, the king was in a hurry, not a single figure could be seen on the streets, every house was confined and closed, except for a few small birds that came out to forage for food, and occasionally touched the branches of the trees frozen in snow, everything fell into a dead silence.
The gates of the Royal Palace.
"Huhu, it's really cold this day, there is not a single ghost on the road, I said brother, do you want to wait for a drink?" said one of the guards, rubbing his hands.
"Come on, on such a cold day, I'd rather go home and hug my daughter-in-law to sleep, how can I be in the mood to drink. Another guard leaning to the side replied.
"Li Xiaogou, I heard that you married a beautiful daughter-in-law, and you will bring it out to show your brothers one day, and it will also make us swell our eyes. β
"Go, go, die, just like you, my daughter-in-law will definitely be scared by you. β
"Haha......"
......
"Tuk Tuk ......"
The sound of horses' hooves came from afar, and in the distant streets, a man and a horse loomed. The person who came was dressed in armor, dusty, tall and mighty, and at first glance it was not a horse that ordinary people could domesticate, this was a war horse, which could only be owned in the army.
"Tuk-tuk... Tuk Tuk ......"
"Open the door, open the door. The horses came to the gates, and the soldiers in armor rolled down and knocked on the gates.
"You...... What do you do?"
"Frontline battle report, open the door for me. β
"Okay, good, good, wait a minute. β
Looking at the war horse in the distance, the guard who opened the door just now only felt the hot sweat behind him, and the cold disappeared.
"Hurry up, something big is wrong. β
"What's it called, what can happen to it?"
"Did you see it just now, it was Jin Jinjian's war horse, and I haven't received a battle report from Jin Jinjian for half a year, this time it won't be Jin Jinjian being broken by the enemy. β
"Won't it?"
"It's terrible, it's terrible, hurry home and pack your things. β
"Hey, what are you doing when you go home and pack your things?"
"The enemy army has come over, and if you don't run now, you won't have a chance. β
"Hey, wait for me, I'll go too. β
In the blink of an eye, the people at the city gate were all gone.
Early the next morning, the ministers faced the heavy snow and went to court.
Even though the snow was falling, Nalan Hongyi never delayed the morning court, and he still started to go to the court every day before dawn.
"Do you have anything else to do?" After dealing with the allocation of resources to survive the cold winter in various places, Nalan Hongyi asked as always.
"Your Majesty, Li Xiaogou and others, who guarded the city gate yesterday, left their posts without permission, and their families disappeared, so please ask the emperor to decide. β
"How can it be reasonable, such a thing happened at the feet of the Son of Heaven, wouldn't it be made fun of by him when the rumors went out. Immediately order the arrest, and if there is resistance, kill him. β
"Yes!"
After waiting for a while, no one in the hall stood up to start the performance, and Nalan Hongyi coughed lightly and said: "I have good news to tell you, yesterday there was a battle report from Jinjinjian, and the lost territory of Jinjinjian was recovered again, and the front line was victorious!"
"Congratulations to the Emperor!" the ministers hurriedly said.
"I have decided to celebrate the whole country, what do you think?"
"Your Majesty, the old minister is against it. Now that the treasury is empty and it is not suitable to hold a huge grand event, the old minister suggested that the celebration banquet be held at the time of the triumphant return of the army, and I hope the emperor will think twice!"
"Okay, I'm ready. Nalan Hongyi did not force it, and now in order to survive the cold winter, a large amount of money from the treasury has been used for disaster relief and rescue, and it is indeed not suitable for holding large-scale banquets.
"The emperor is wise!"
It snowed heavily, and the pace of the march had to be suspended.
In this expedition, the reserves of grain and grass were well prepared, and an army of 50,000 people could be used to survive this cold winter. Therefore, after discussing with Chen Haoyan, Jing Yifan decided to drive the enemy army out of Hongtian's territory at one time.
After several months of hard fighting, all the invaded areas were recovered, and the results achieved were not insignificant.
Stepping on the snow, looking at the familiar but unfamiliar scenery around him, Jing Yifan had a feeling like falling into a dream, which could be regarded as his revisiting the old place this time. A year ago, he was assassinated here, and the army of Hongtian was also defeated from here, and after a year, he came here again, and the only thing that changed was the surrounding scenery.
At present, in addition to the army being blocked by heavy snow, Jing Yifan has encountered another problem. That is, for some unknown reason, in such cold weather, the river did not freeze, which made it difficult for the army to cross the river. As the snow began to melt, the river became wider and it was more difficult to cross the river, so the only way to cross the river was to get ahead of the thin ice on both sides of the river.
Winter is the dry season of the river, when the water flow will be small, which is a good time to cross the river.
Jing Yifan had already prepared the props for crossing the river, and the licorice and wood prepared in advance also came in handy, and before the enemy army could understand what was happening, Chen Haoyan had already led the army to kill the enemy army. The enemy was so overwhelmed that they had completely lost their resistance and fled with their armor thrown away. Jing Yifan did not stop like this, and put forward the idea of capturing other people's territory, this time Chen Haoyan did not object, and strongly agreed with Jing Yifan's idea.
As a result, the army was led by Chen Haoyan, and under the command of Jing Yifan, it was like a sharp sword plunged into the hinterland of the enemy country.
