"General, it has been completely clear, if the bandits can pass through the Hukou Gorge, our army will win!"

Ning Baiying said.

He personally went to explore the terrain there.

As long as they occupy the high places on both sides of Hukou Gorge, the bandits who pass by under their feet will definitely not be able to fly out of thin air, even if they grow a pair of wings out of thin air.

But the problem now is that a way must be found to get the bandits down this path.

If the bandits do not fight through the Hukou Gorge and support the Binh Duong Valley, everything our army does will be in vain.

But now the three pontoon bridges on the Qingshui River are the fastest way for bandits to support Pingyang Valley, and the bandits will not take risks and seek the near and far.

The bandits must be allowed to change their path of support.

The only option was to destroy the three pontoons.

"That's it......"

Chen Chao thought about it and said lightly.

Then he raised his eyes lightly and pronounced two names:

"Hou Ji, Ning Baiying!"

Hou Ji walked a few steps briskly and stood side by side with Ning Baiying.

The two clasped their fists and said in unison:

"The subordinates are here!"

"Order the two of you to select a few good players from Long Wuwei, secretly blend in with the army of bandits stationed in the Qingshui River, and take the opportunity to blow up the three pontoon bridges on the Qingshui River!"

"Subordinates obey!"

The two of them took the order. If there was no such thing as a dammed lake, Ning Baiying didn't believe that with the strength of just a few people, he could destroy three pontoon bridges under the noses of the bandit army.

But now, Thaksin.

He knew how powerful gunpowder was.

Blowing up the three pontoon bridges on the Qingshui River is a breeze.

As long as the pontoon bridge on the Qingshui River is blown up and cannot be repaired for a while, the bandits who rushed from the front line to support Pingyang Valley will have to make a detour and pass through Hukou Gorge.

It can be regarded as the middle of the Chen Dynasty.

After dealing with this matter, Chen Chao asked for no reason:

"During the Battle of Yongguan, what happened to the cavalry of the Shaking Mountain Battalion that suddenly appeared? Where are they now? ”

When Yongguan, the reason why he was able to defeat Yao Wu's 50,000 bandits was that the 200 lancers of the Shaking Mountain Battalion contributed a lot.

In the victorious army, there was no formal cavalry corps.

If he could, the Chen Dynasty wanted to dig up this team and form his own cavalry team.

In this era, cavalry is a sweet tooth!

Hou Ji said: "It's in the army, and the subordinates will pass it on." ”

Soon after Hou Ji came out of the tent, he brought back a young man.

Looking at it, this person is not very old, twenty-three or four-year-old, and he is a young general.

He was dressed in light armor, handsome and had peach blossom eyes.

Like a woman, but Chen Chao was sure that this was a man.

It's just that the physiognomy is a little feminine.

But on the whole, he is a beautiful man.

Moreover, the man's appearance, looking closely at the past, is faintly very similar to an old man.

When everyone's eyes were focused on the man, he took two steps forward and clasped his fists:

"Shaking Mountain Battalion Lancers, Murong Chong, see General Chen!"

Hearing this name, Chen Chao's eyebrows jumped sharply.

There was a bang.

Chen Chao subconsciously stood up, and the chair behind him fell to the ground, making a loud noise.

Chen Chao's strange behavior attracted the attention of others.

General, what's the matter?

Why is there such a big reaction?

Do you know each other?

Not to mention that this is Chen Chao's eldest brother......

No wonder I feel that this person looks very familiar, it turns out to be the eldest brother of the Queen Mother Murong Yue, the eldest son of the Murong family, Murong Chong.

Chen Chao walked a few steps quickly, came to Murong Chong, and held up his arms:

"General Murong, please get up quickly, don't be polite."

Murong Chong straightened his waist, looked at Chen Chao who was out of shape in front of him, and frowned slightly, why did this person look like this?

Do I know him?

This is not to blame Murong Chong, before Murong Yue entered the palace, the entire Murong family had no weight in Daji, as the eldest son of the Murong family, Murong Chong has been practicing martial arts at home, studying military books, hoping to one day make contributions on the battlefield and glorify the lintel.

Later, Murong Yue entered the palace by chance, and Murong Chong was selected by the first emperor because of his identity as his uncle, and went directly to Yunzhou to fight with the bandits, and he didn't have time to go to the capital.

It's normal that I haven't seen Chen Chao.

"Ahem..... That, General Murong, it's been really hard for you for more than a year. Chen Chaodao.

I don't know how happy Murong Yue can be to know the news that his brother is still alive.

Before returning to Beijing, Chen Chao wanted to have a good relationship with his eldest brother.

Murong Chong's face was strange: "Don't dare to do it, it is the duty of a courtier to serve the country...... The general didn't dare to be a general, and his subordinates were just a small captain. ”

Previously, three battalions of Daji officers and soldiers were besieged by bandits, including Murong Chong's Shaoshan battalion.

At that time, Murong Chong led his only remaining subordinates to break out of the bandit encirclement, and he has been active in the rear of the bandits for more than a year, hoping to be loyal to the country. At the dammed lake, he met Hou Ji by chance, and Hou Ji informed him that Yongguan needed his assistance, so Murong Chong took the only remaining men and horses to break the bandits' siege crossbow positions in Yongguan and drove the bandits down the river.

After that, it was to support the cities along the northern line, and until today, it has been temporarily incorporated into the northern line camp.

"Hey, we don't talk to each other as a family......"

Chen Chao waved his hand and said enthusiastically.

"General Murong has superb riding skills and unparalleled bravery, it is too condescending to be a small captain, and this general intends to let General Murong command all the cavalry under the name of my army on the northern front."

Murong Chong's face became more and more strange, and he glanced at Chen Chao deeply.

It seems that he is not telling a lie, and he is home with doubts.

In the afternoon, Murong Chong wandered around the army and heard other generals whispering, saying that this Chen Dynasty only reused the generals of his Changsheng army, and the others were all aside.

How do you look at this, it seems that you want to reuse yourself?

Doubts are doubts, and Murong Chong's heart is filled with joy.

If he can command more cavalry, he will be able to do more merit.

When they return to Beijing in the future, the Murong family will rise to a higher level, and no one will look down on them anymore, and her sister Murong Yue will be a little more confident when she walks in the harem.

Thinking of this, Murong Chong clenched his fists, this was an opportunity for him.

"General Murong, are you willing?" Seeing that Murong Chong was silent, Chen Chao asked.

Murong Chong's eyes flickered, he was skeptical, and said slowly:

"With all due respect, why did the general treat me like this? Reuse me? I don't seem to have anything to do with the general? ”

Chen Chao smiled and patted Murong Chong's shoulder: "I won't tell you the truth, General Ben takes a fancy to General Murong's ability, and when he was rushing to the pass, General Murong rushed into the group of ten thousand troops with two hundred horsemen, broke the enemy's siege crossbow position, and relieved me of the danger of winning the saber and shield battalion; When he and the enemy cavalry rushed to kill each other, General Murong rode thousands of horses, and he had the courage of ten thousand people. ”

"General Ben cherishes his talents, and wants to invite General Murong to join my ever-winning army, seek common causes, and be loyal to the country."

Murong Chong took a deep breath and stared at Chen Chao with his eyes.

Is this your own Bole?

Murong Chong enlisted in the army as an uncle, and everyone said that he relied on his status to get to the top, so he received a lot of white eyes from others.

Only he knows this.

There was a long silence.

Seeing that Murong Chong didn't say anything, Chen Chao took a step back, clasped his fists and asked:

"General Ben sincerely invites General Murong to join my ever-winning army, I don't know if the general is willing?"

A hint of emotion appeared on Murong Chong's handsome face.

At the time of Yongguan, the Chen Dynasty defeated 50,000 bandits with 5,000 victorious troops, creating a miracle of winning more with less, and had the potential to be a good general.

Now he commands the entire Western Front army of 60,000 horses, but he can lower his status, Corporal Lixian.

Why should I not agree?

After thinking about it, Murong Chong clenched his fists and knelt down on one knee:

"Murong Chong, I am willing to join the Victorious Army! Only the general is the first to look forward! ”
