799 Plotting a small town

"There seem to be only a little over 10,000 troops here. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" Wu Chengfeng looked at the soldiers in front of him, and there were some doubts in his heart.
"There's also a wing cleaning up the battlefield, and they'll be over in a moment. Yue Yun smiled and waved his hand, he thought that Wu Chengfeng didn't see that the wing that had broken away from the large army was collecting loot on the battlefield.
Wu Chengfeng shook his head and said, "It's still not right, where is Xiao Jinchen?"
Wu Chengfeng's words made Yue Yun stunned, and he said curiously: "Xiao Jinchen, when we attacked, there were only four wings, and Xiao Jinchen's wing was too far away from here to keep up at all." ”
"Oh no, I'm afraid Xiao Jinchen is still in the depths of the prairie. He arrived two days after your departure, and then went straight into the grassland, as if they hadn't been able to contact you. Wu Chengfeng's face changed, this is not a matter of losing a cavalry wing, more importantly, Xiao Jinchen is Fang Ruitao's good brother.
"I immediately went back to the prairie to look for it. Yue Yun turned over and got on the horse again.
Wu Chengfeng nodded and said: "You are still searching in a unit, this time you are aiming to find someone, don't fall in love with the Chagatai cavalry when you see it, try to avoid them." This time we were victorious, but it was only a crushing battle. The Crusade Army still has at least tens of thousands of cavalry, and their equipment has undergone qualitative changes, and it is not so easy to fight. ”
Yue Yun nodded and said, "I'll be careful." ”
"Yue Yun, pay attention, it seems that the strength of the temple is involved. Hong Qian walked over and said, "We have just killed two enemy War Kings, one of whom is clearly dressed in Templar clothing. ”
"Templars?" Yue Yun frowned slightly: "Two months ago, my eldest brother wrote to me, and he also mentioned these guys, it seems that the Templar is targeting us. Well, I'll be careful, I guess I'll be back in a week. After speaking, Yue Yun grabbed the belly of the horse and led the cavalry along the road from which he came, and even the work of cleaning the battlefield was left to the infantrymen.
Just when Yue Yun and his brigade of cavalry were about to go deep into the grassland again to find Xiao Jinchen's traces, the wing led by Xiao Jinchen had already lurked near Wild Horse City. Named after the flocks of wild horses that often populate nearby, the city is the only city in the mainland to be as big as a small city in the mainland, but it is one of the few walled cities in the prairie.
As the largest city near the Blue Pass, the geographical location of Mustang City is quite important, it is also the largest market used by herders within a radius of hundreds of kilometers to sell cattle and sheep and buy daily necessities, and the annual flow of people here is no less than that of a medium-sized city in the mainland.
Due to the important geographical location of this place, it is protected by city walls. In addition, most of the herdsmen have moved south in winter, and this place has also become deserted, so Marshal Gamudi has placed most of his military supplies here, and this information was only learned by Fang Ruitao when he captured a cavalry herald of the Chagatai army.
This herald originally came from the city and wanted to send a letter to Marshal Gamudi, telling him that the follow-up food supplies had been prepared, and asking when he would leave, but he was captured by Xiao Jinchen's scouts as soon as he left the city. After obtaining this favorable information, Xiao Jinchen decided to capture Wild Horse City.
Although the city of Mustang City is shallow, it is not something that the four thousand cavalry under Xiao Jinchen can easily capture, and there are still 10,000 defenders in the city, even if the Chagatai people are not good at defending the city, after all, there are many people. Xiao Jinchen frowned, thinking about how the city should be captured, he turned around twice, and his eyes swept over the seized letter that was spread out on the table, and he suddenly had an idea in his heart.
"Get Xiao Cheng for me. Xiao Jinchen asked the herald to call someone, and after a while, a young man in a strong suit who was about the same age as Xiao Jinchen and had an eight-point similar eyebrow walked in. Seeing Xiao Jinchen, he immediately saluted: "Captain, is there something wrong?"
Xiao Jinchen waved his hand and said, "Third cousin, you don't have to be so polite, now there are no outsiders, you and I are still brothers." ”
Xiao Cheng shook his head helplessly and said, "You kid is always like this, you are frizzy about what you do, and you don't care about anything." If it weren't for the lord, I don't think you would even be the captain. ”
Xiao Jinchen snorted and said, "With my strength, where is it as miserable as you say." Even in the Durrant Empire, with my strength, there is more than the co-captain. ”
Xiao Cheng smiled and said, "Don't you know, because of the lord's brilliant achievements, now all countries are beginning to accept the lord's ideas. They have also begun to abandon the previous selection criteria that only looked at individual strength, and began to pay attention to tactics and the use of troops, as well as the flexibility of their minds. ”
Xiao Jinchen said: "Okay, I admit that I am a little frizzy, but with the influence of my eldest brother, I think I still have some insight in tactics." This time, even if I want my third cousin to do one thing, one thing that makes us do great things. ”
"What? There is such a good thing? Tell me, what am I going to do?" Xiao Cheng came to his senses as soon as he heard it.
Xiao Jinchen said: "This matter requires the person who performs the task to be calm and intelligent, and it is none other than the third cousin in our team, but this task is a bit dangerous, I don't know if the third cousin is willing to accept it." ”
"You don't go around the bend with me, I know what kind of character you are since I was a child, and you are still here to fight with me sloppily, hurry up. The two are good friends who grew up together since childhood, and they are related, so they are naturally more emotionally close, so Xiao Cheng has less estrangement between his words. Xiao Jinchen smiled slightly, leaned into Xiao Cheng's ear, and told him his plan.
Xiao Cheng's face turned red and white when he heard this, and he sighed after a while: "You kid is really bold, you can think of this kind of strategy." You're playing with my life, I'll be hacked to death if something happens. ”
"Then why don't you do it? I promise you'll be at least the deputy captain if you succeed this time. If you don't go, don't blame my cousin for not giving you a chance. Xiao Jinchen spread his hands and looked indifferent.
Xiao Cheng gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I did it this time." Wealth and danger are sought, if there is no great merit, when will I be promoted to a senior officer, this time I will fight. ”
"That's right, my cousin won't let you suffer. Don't worry, if it is done this time, I will definitely give you the first credit, and it will be difficult for you not to be promoted by then. Xiao Jinchen poured ** soup into Xiao Cheng.
In the early morning, a crisp sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, disturbing the sentries who were dozing off the tower. The Chagatai sentry rubbed his sleepy eyes and looked under the city walls, where he saw a rider dressed in his own military attire who had just arrived at the city gates.
