Volume 1 Spring Thunder Chapter 128 Chen Mengqi
"Take care of yourself, take care of yourself when you go back. ”
Yi Chen stood side by side with Qiao Xibai on the plain, there were no twists and turns in the past few days, and finally arrived safely in the west, and then there was the first main city in the west, Red Courage City.
"I don't think it's for me to take good care of myself, but to take care of Miao Yan's girl, giggles. Qiao Xi smiled with a narrow smile, she was an immortal what to take care of, and the most worrying thing for the young general was not the delicate wife who had not passed through the door.
Yi Chen smiled, turned around and hugged Qiao Xibai tightly, and whispered in her ear: "Promise me, no matter what, you must take care of yourself, don't be reckless, if you encounter the previous situation again, I will not come to save you again." ”
Qiao Xi's white nose was sour, and he hummed undetectably.
There will be differences in life, and the journey of life has not yet reached the end, and there is still a time to separate.
Qiao Xi's white clothes fluttered, and he violently pushed Yi Chen away and left, even if he was reluctant, he had to let go.
Red Gall City.
Leading the new army into this border military fortress, the atmosphere of gloom and slaughter came to his face, and the faces of every soldier revealed a cold color.
Red Dan City is said to be a city, but it is actually a barrier across the Great Wall in the west and the inland, just blocked on the way to continue eastward, and there are no residents living in it, all of them are large camp tents.
The city and the Great Wall of the Western Frontier were built by the ambitious Emperor Lifeng, which caused waves of civil unrest, but they were all suppressed.
There was no churning of any waves.
And these people are only a few, not enough to endanger the West or the foundations of the Empire.
More than 7,000 new troops, along with Yi Chen and Luo Ning, were arranged in a large camp somewhere in Chidor City, and were stationed here to wait for orders before the Heavenly General Chen Mengqi made arrangements.
However, it is very likely that this temporary legion, which has not yet been formally formed, will be broken up and supplemented into the Western Legion.
But in any case, their arrival still gave the defenders of the western border a reassurance, and there was a steady stream of reinforcements from the other two states to follow.
These days, the Great Wall in the west has been in danger, and the attack of the Xuan Mang army has become more and more violent, and several city heads have been attacked, but fortunately they were recaptured.
It was said that the Xuan Mang army did not have an advantage in numbers, and according to the comparison of troops, it was not enough to break through the Great Wall in the west, but this was not the case.
The defense line of the Great Wall in the west was more than ten kilometers long, and the defenders were too scattered, but the Xuan Mang army concentrated a few sections to attack, so that the disadvantage of the troops was leveled.
So the state of the West is not as good as it seems, but it is not so bad.
Because of this, Chen Mengqi did not write to ask for help, he thought that he could withstand it, it was too early to ask for help at this time, and it would make a mess of the court, and if he made a confused decision, it would be a big deal.
I have to say that Huangfu Dongtian is also a generation of handsome talents, although one side is attacking the city and the other is defending the city, and he has not used the art of war and tactics to the extreme, but Chen Mengqi is a general of Xuanzhitian who has been famous for many years, and he has also had the prestige of fighting Xuanmang, and he is still here with Huangfu Dongtian.
In order to exert pressure on the defenders of the Great Wall in the west, Huangfu Dongtian divided the army of 1.2 million into four parts, two of which were frontal assaults, one part was used as a backup force, and the other part was a feint attack outside the selected sections.
This led to the fact that the rest of the defenders could not come to support the main battlefield, and once the defenders were reduced, it was difficult to guarantee that Xuan Mang would not take the opportunity to turn a feint into a fierce attack, and if a gap was broken in the defense line of the Great Wall, the Xuan Mang army would rush in like a crucian carp crossing the river.
The Great Wall defense line has become the biggest joke and ornament.
Moreover, the continuous replenishment of reserve troops has created an illusion for the Xuanzhi army, an illusion that the barbarians will never be killed, which is a strong blow to morale.
In the final analysis, it was Xuan Mang who came to the country this time, there were too many troops and too wide, and after the empress's rectification, the once scattered Xuan Mang no longer exists.
Of course, at least on the surface, those patriarchs in the mainland who seduce and fight may not live long.
"I've heard before that our newly built city of red gall is incomparably magnificent and magnificent, and it is worthy of its reputation at first sight today! In my opinion, there are at least 100,000 soldiers in this city, and I am afraid that only Kyoto can compare with it. Luo Ning stood in the middle of the camp with his waist pinched, looking at the thirty-meter-high city wall, which was simply something that could only be made by a craftsman.
"No matter how you say it, it is the last line of defense in the western realm, and it naturally has to spread magnificently enough, otherwise why stop the million-strong army of barbarians after the Great Wall is broken. ”
Yi Chen had hay in his mouth, sat on the grain and grass pile, and followed Luo Ning's gaze to the city wall.
Just looking at this city wall, the sense of security can't run, and I feel that as long as there is the protection of the Red Gall City, the barbarians can't get in if they're tired.
"But we just handed over the customs documents and entered Chi Dan City, and the general didn't bring us to see us?" Yi Chen asked Luo Ning suspiciously, and the latter also shook his head with a wry smile, our old Luo is a rough man with soldiers, how can he know the general's thoughts.
"Maybe he's busy discussing the military situation and holding a meeting with the generals right now, just wait, he can't leave us here, or let the two of us go to guard the city gates." I don't care, that Brother Yi is overkill. Luo Ning laughed and joked about Yi Chen, saying this, if he was really asked to guard the city gate, he would definitely be more anxious than anyone else.
An hour later.
Yi Chen meditated on the marching bed in the tent, and was taking advantage of the fact that he had nothing to do now to seize the time to cultivate, and strengthen the Vajra incorruptible body again, so that he would have a greater chance of saving his life on the battlefield.
Although the western realm is now on the defensive, and there is no time to take the initiative to attack, the head of the city must also be careful with the arrows.
In ancient times, there were many generals who were shot to death by stray arrows, and the death was unknown, not to mention how aggrieved they were.
"May I ask which one is the camp tent of General Yi and General Luo. ”
"I've seen the general, this is the ......"
Yi Chen opened his eyes and took the initiative to greet him, and saw a young man in black armor and a feathered helmet walking over.
Looking at this dress, it is obvious that he is also a general, but I don't know which one came to worship the mountain first.
"You are?"
"I'm Yi Chen, dare to ask this general......
"Oh, it turns out that this is General Yi who slashed Yan Ling at the bottom of the lake and slashed the three evils on the road, he is so young and promising, he is really handsome. I am Chen Fenghuo, the general of Chi Dan City, and the special general ordered me to take the two to the general's mansion for a while. ”
Although the young general is heroic, he is extremely elegant in his speech and actions, and there is no arrogance, which makes people feel good.
Luo Ning also walked out of the tent at this moment, and when he heard Chen Fenghuo report his name, he hurriedly greeted him: "It turned out to be the young general." ”
It turns out that he is Chen Mengqi's son, and he seems to be worthy of a tiger father without a dog, and this literacy alone can see how good the tutor is.
"This is General Luo, please come with me. Chen Fenghuo nodded to Luo Ning with a smile, took the lead in front, and led the two to the general's mansion.
There are only two people who can be called a general in the entire Xuanzhi Mansion, one is Chen Mengqi who guards the western border to defend against Xuanmang, and the other is Meng Yuankai who guards the southern border of the Xuanhuang Demon Clan.
These two people were both enemy generals in the era of the Seven Kingdoms, but now they are working together under the Xuanzhi under Lifeng.
It only took a quarter of an hour to drive from the camp to the General's Mansion, and the mansion did not seem to be very imposing, if it were not for the word momentum, I am afraid that there would only be two giant stone lions in front of the door.
Outside the door of the guarding mansion, I saw Chen Fenghuo personally bring people to come and let them pass through.
Walking into the lobby, I saw a middle-aged man with a sturdy and powerful figure frowning and checking the note in his hand, and was silent for a long time.
"Sit down. ”
Chen Meng didn't raise his head and said, he waved his hand directly to avoid those cumbersome etiquette, Yi Chen and Luo Ning glanced at each other and found a seat to sit down.
And Chen Fenghuo was standing beside his father.
"This young person is Yi Chen, right? I've heard of your deeds for a long time, and they all preached that I came to the Great Wall of the Western Border, and there are many people in our army who have heard the story of your young and angry slashing the grandmaster, and it is almost becoming a fun conversation after dinner. ”
"I also heard that you have encountered a lot of trouble on the way this time, not only did the new army lose one-fifth, but even the general of Jinzhou Dangkou was seriously injured and fell into a coma...... You soldiers, you bring it well. ”
Chen Mengqi stared at Yi Chen and Luo Ning with great energy, the words in his mouth were meaningful, bring it well, how is it not good, so many people were lost before the troops were delivered.
"I am a new military cadet, and I am the person in charge of leading the new army this time, and if I dig deeper, the blame for this should all lie on me, because I am not effective in leading the troops. Yi Chen said expressionlessly, he had expected this situation on the way here.
Luo Ning heard Yi Chen speak first, he hurriedly waved his hand and stood up: "If you want to blame me, this matter has nothing to do with Brother Yi, the main thing is that I command the enemy improperly to cause this consequence......"
Chen Mengqi smiled and said: "Okay, okay, in fact, your state commander Wang Lan has already greeted me in this matter, and there may be some twists and turns on the way here, so I don't blame you." I'll tell you the truth, in fact, your losses are much less than I expected, and it seems to me that you are not completely annihilated. ”
"That's why I said that your soldiers are good, and what you said is the truth, not the opposite, but this loss is real, your suppression of bandits is beneficial to Jinzhou, but it has nothing to do with my western border, so the merit is merit, and the fault is the fault, but I will not punish you for the time being, and keep it to make up for it later!"
"But I'm also very relieved to see that you are in a hurry to take responsibility for yourself, if you pass the buck to each other, I'm afraid neither of you will be able to run away today. There is no need for intrigue in our army, and now is the time when the situation is extremely tense, and we must unite as one to have a chance of victory. ”
This divine mighty general doesn't seem to have a frame at all, and it doesn't seem to match his prestige, and I thought he was a very difficult person to approach.
Luo Ning also showed a smile on his face, it was comfortable to follow this kind of general.
Yi Chen was thinking about other words, and the merits were all trivial, mainly because the situation was extremely tense...... What kind of situation would make the general's face actually have some worry when he said this?
