Chapter 255: The Khitan Army Arrives
Similar to his former centurion. There were two hundred more soldiers.
Although most of the soldiers under his command are now soldiers of the subordinate army, all the soldiers are very respectful to him, and they are not dissatisfied with him because he is the new battalion commander.
The main reason is that Yue Pengju opened the city gate with his own life, and their approach made the people of the Zidi Army very admired.
In addition, the army of the children is forbidden by orders, it is a duty to obey orders, and the ideological lessons are in place. All of them have stood the test.
Feeling the atmosphere in the army, Yue Pengju actually had a feeling of being deeply attracted to such an army, and he was fascinated by the way of training with the army. And the thought lesson that surprised him.
He didn't know that he was also unconsciously changed by these new ideas.
And in the hidden corners of the city walls on both sides of the Dongxing Pass, there are hundreds of disciples who are digging underground passages with all their might.
Although the walls are several meters wide, it is relatively simple to dig an underground passage out of the city. The passage that Jiang Chao asked his disciples to explore was the passage to both sides of the Dongxing Pass.
The whole Dongxingguan is a small city several miles long and several miles wide. It's right between two mountains. More than 20,000 troops were stationed in Guanzhong.
Originally, there were a lot of civilians living in Guanzhong, as well as requisitioned people, but unfortunately, these people and civilians were killed a lot after the Khitan army entered the city.
Some took advantage of the chaos to escape a lot. Now in the entire Dongxing Pass, there are only the subordinate army and the hundreds of Great Zhao troops who originally guarded the pass.
They were forcibly incorporated into the army by Jiang Chao and scattered into various armies. Jiang Chao did not mean to stick to the East Pass.
Because, there is not much point in doing this, Jiang Chao's purpose is to destroy the Khitan army, not to stop the Khitan army.
If the Khitan army is dragged here in Dongxingguan, I am afraid that it will be extremely unfavorable to him.
It might even drag all 20,000 of its sons and daughters to death here. And if you want to wipe out these Khitan troops in front of the Dongxing Pass, you can only see if your tactics can be used smoothly.
The passages dug in the corners of the city walls on both sides were for the retreat of the disciples.
By the time the soldiers dug the passage, it would be almost a day later.
As soon as Jiang Chao rested, a subordinate army came to report that the Khitan army had arrived in front of the Dongxing Pass.
Hearing this, Jiang Chao's face showed a happy color, and he hurriedly said to the general who came to report: "You guys are disguised?!" And they didn't find out the clues! ”
"Mr. Hui, everything is going according to your plan, they don't suspect him, it's just that the Khitan army under the city asked Xiao Ce to open the city to meet them."
The general said respectfully to Jiang Chao.
Everyone in the army habitually called Mr. Jiang Chao, not only because everyone called him like this, but also because Jiang Chao often gave them lessons.
Therefore, the name of this gentleman has become the norm for the children's army, and almost everyone is called Jiang Chao like this.
Especially the soldiers of the Yelang clan. In their eyes, Jiang Chao is the gentleman who helped their Yelang clan eliminate the estrangement and let them merge into one.
"It seems that they are cautious enough. Still, it doesn't matter. Ignore them. Let's go to the city walls now. ”
Jiang Chao nodded to the general, and hurriedly went out with the other party, heading in the direction of the city wall.
Soon, Jiang Chao climbed the city wall, only to see that under the city wall, pieces of Khitan troops were stopping there. Some of them have already set up camp there.
After all, Dongxingguan is very small, and it is okay for 20,000 or 30,000 people to come in to rest and recuperate, but if all the 100,000 troops come in, they will not be able to stay.
Under the city walls, a group of soldiers shouted and cursed. At the head was a strong man who looked to be in his thirties. He was dressed as a Khitan general.
No one on the city wall could understand what he was scolding, because he spoke Khitan. It's strange that the walls are understandable.
Several subordinate generals on the city wall were full of anxiety, they were originally pretending to be the Khitan army, and they were also wearing the uniforms of the Khitan army.
But if it continues like this, it is estimated that it may be exposed.
At the beginning, the Khitan soldiers who came to call the door still shouted in Huaxia. Who would have thought that when there was no reaction at the city gate, one of the generals scolded there in Khitan language.
Although the Khitan people are alien races, they have been imitating Chinese culture. Most of the time, the Khitan people communicate in the Chinese language.
The language of his own people has long been forgotten.
"Sir, what should we do now......" One of the generals looked at Jiang Chaodao.
If the other party is allowed to scold like this, and they don't respond, Jiang Chao's plan may be bankrupt.
But none of them knew Khitan. Therefore, they can only do it here in a hurry.
Seeing this, Jiang Chao showed a mysterious smile on his face, and he opened his mouth to say a series of words that everyone could not understand when he opened his mouth to the generals who were scolding angrily under the city wall.
The surrounding soldiers looked at Jiang Chao in astonishment, and did not come back to their senses for a long time. But everyone faintly heard what Jiang Chao said, which was similar to what the Khitan general scolded.
Everyone looked at Jiang Chao with admiration, the respect in their eyes was a little more, and there was a sense of arrogance, worthy of their husband, who even knew Khitan.
And the Khitan general under the city wall heard Jiang Chao's words, and after being stunned, a wave of anger surged in his eyes. The soldiers behind him also let out bursts of loud cheers.
Jiang Chao glanced at the generals on the side, and said softly: "Open the city gate......"
When the generals heard this, although there was a stunned look on their faces, everyone hurriedly opened the city gate according to Jiang Chao's order.
The moment the city gate opened, the Khitan generals who were angry under the city rushed into the city on horseback angrily. Behind him, almost a thousand cavalrymen also rushed over.
Among the thousands of cavalry that were originally indifferent, three cavalry of each rushed to the city gate under the leadership of one of the generals, whose face changed drastically.
Seeing this scene, the generals on the city wall were full of astonishment, and they didn't come back to their senses for a long time.
They are worrying about how to lure the Khitan troops under the city in and send them to death. These Khitan troops were very vigilant at first, but they just said that they would let Xiao Ce go out of the customs to greet them, and they had no intention of entering the city.
Everyone is still worried that they will not be able to bring people in, in this case, their plan to disguise themselves as Khitan troops will be meaningless.
But now it seems that because of Jiang Chao's few words, more than 4,000 cavalry of the Khitan army rushed into the city
Although, the cavalry that rushed over was less than one-tenth of the total strength of the Khitan army. But the more than 4,000 cavalry is one-tenth of the total strength of the Khitan cavalry.
If they could wipe out a tenth of the cavalry in the city, it would be a great victory for them!
