Chapter 505: Successful Breakthrough
Chen Jian led 100 Chen family dead soldiers to infiltrate the Tianhai Customs and burn the grain and grass materials of the Red Cross Expeditionary Army, but they were also frantically pursued by the Red Cross Expeditionary Army.
Chen Jian and his entourage broke through the siege with all their might, fought bravely, and paid a heavy price before they arrived at the foot of Shanhaiguan City, and they were about to be safe, but the cavalry of the Red Cross Expeditionary Army followed closely and killed under the city wall of Shanhaiguan, and Chen Jian's life safety was in danger.
"Archers listen to orders, release arrows!"
When the lord of Hua Guo saw this scene, his face sank, and he did not hesitate and immediately ordered the arrow to be released.
It is impossible to open the city gate, because once the city gate is opened, the large force of the Red Cross Eastern Expeditionary Force may take advantage of this opportunity to attack the Shanhai Pass.
At that time, the 100,000 troops in Shanhaiguan City may face the danger of annihilation, and then lose this battle, and once again stage the end of the land of China trampled by the Red Cross Expeditionary Army 70 years ago.
Therefore, the lord of Hua did not dare to gamble, and he must ensure that there can be no mistakes in this battle.
Therefore, even if Chen Jian and the others were facing the moment of life and death, he would not open the city gate, but would do everything possible to save the lives of Chen Jian and the dead soldiers of the Chen family.
"Quick, climb up the chain!"
The lord of Hua asked people to put the iron chain under the wall of Shanhaiguan and said loudly.
"Up. ”
When Chen Jian heard this, he didn't care about the pursuers of the Red Cross Expeditionary Army behind him, he let out a low shout and asked the people of the Chen family to quickly climb along the iron chain to the city wall.
Chen Jian and others are all strong warriors, and under normal circumstances, they climb over the city and walk on the ground.
However, the city wall of Shanhaiguan is different, one is that the wall is smooth, but it is a hundred feet high, if there is no place to borrow strength, even Chen Jian is difficult to climb the city wall with his bare hands.
Therefore, they had to use iron chains to climb the city walls with ease.
I saw that Chen Jian and the dead soldiers of the Chen family, like nimble apes, quickly climbed towards the city wall.
The cavalry corps of the Red Cross Expeditionary Army, which was chasing and killed, was shot by a rain of arrows from Shanhaiguan and killed hundreds of people, and had to retreat and stop advancing.
"Damn it. ”
When the cavalry commander Leke saw this scene, he immediately scolded in a low voice, but in order not to let his men die, he still ordered to stop the charge and immediately retreat, out of the range of the arrow rain at Shanhaiguan.
In the end, Lake could only watch the Chen family and the Chen family die, and fled back to Shanhaiguan City without being helpless.
"Withdraw!"
Lake knew that he couldn't do anything, so he gave an order, turned his horse's head, and left the city of Shanhaiguan with the cavalry corps of the Red Cross Expeditionary Army.
"Chen Jian, have you succeeded?"
After Chen Jian and the others climbed the city wall, the lords of Huaguo and other leaders of the large, medium and small forces in the underground world of Huaguo gathered one after another, looking at Chen Jian with a look of hope, full of anticipation.
"Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission!"
Hearing this, Chen Jian took a deep breath, he looked at everyone, clasped his hands into fists, and said in a deep voice.
"Great!"
When the Lord of Hua Guo and the others heard this, they all shouted excitedly.
"It's a pity that there are only ten of the hundred good sons and daughters of my Chen family, and now there are only ten left. ”
Chen Jian couldn't be happy, he sighed slightly, and said with some sadness.
"Chen Jian, they are all heroes, Huaguo will not forget them!"
When the lord of Hua Guo heard this, he glanced at Chen Jian and the dead soldiers of the Chen family, who were covered in blood, he patted Chen Jian's shoulder and said in a deep voice.
Chen Jian didn't say anything more, he said goodbye to the lord of Hua, and then took the camp of the Chen family to rest, their task has been completed, and then it is up to the lord of Hua and the others.
At this time, in the camp of the Red Cross Expeditionary Army, which was ten miles away from Shanhaiguan, the supreme commander of the Red Cross Expeditionary Army, Dekeke, also received the news that the grain, grass and materials in the warehouse at the Tianhaiguan Wharf had been burned, and he couldn't help but be furious.
"Damn Foodnand, he actually let people sneak into the Tianhaiguan, and burned the grain, grass and materials in the warehouse, it's just a waste!"
"Food, grass and supplies are gone, how can we fight at Shanhaiguan? When we go back, we must sue Foodand to the Underground World Judgment Council and condemn him to death!"
Dirks kept slapping the table and screamed loudly.
"Lord Commander, the enemy who burned down the dock was killed by our army on the ninth floor, and only a dozen people fled back to Shanhaiguan City. ”
At this time, the commander of the cavalry corps, Lake, returned to the Chinese tent and reported the battle situation to Dirk.
"What? You let those damn bastards run back? Do you cavalry regiments eat dry food? Tens of thousands of horses can't stop a mere hundred-man squad?"
Hearing this, Dirks slammed the cup in his hand to the ground with a snap, and shouted angrily.
"I'm sorry, Lord Commander, this enemy detachment is the elite of the elite, and its strength is very strong, I personally led the troops to the front, but I couldn't stop them, this is my mistake, I ask the commander to punish me. ”
Ryker half-knelt on the ground, admitted his mistake, and took the initiative to ask Dirk for his guilt.
"Hmph, this matter, wait until we return to the Western Underground World, and then report to the members of the Supreme Committee, at the moment, our focus is whether this battle will continue. ”
Dirk snorted coldly, and did not continue to punish Ryke, he said in a low voice.
At this moment, several more people walked in from outside the door, they were Francesco, the commander of the infantry legion, Allen, the commander of the archery legion, and Kerry, the commander of the chariot legion.
There was also a person who was trembling and hesitant to come in, and that was Foodnand, the commander of the Logistics Corps stationed at the Tianhai Customs.
Dirks watched as the crowd walked in, his face gloomy as a dark cloud in the sky, as if he could drip water at any moment.
"Fordinand, are you guilty?"
Dirks slapped the table, looked at Foodnand, and shouted angrily.
"The lower official is guilty!"
Frightened, Foodnande immediately knelt on the ground, trembling in horror, and quickly kowtowed to confess.
"Do you know what it means to us that food, grass and supplies are necessary for the troops to march and fight, and now that you have been burned by the enemy because of your negligence?"
Dirks glared at Foodinand and rebuked.
"A great sin for the lower officials. ”
Foodnan didn't dare to reply at all, and knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing to confess.
"Foodnand, how much food, grass and supplies do we have in our camp now?"
After Dirks had scolded enough, he sat down in his chair and asked in a deep voice.
"Back to the commander-in-chief, if you use the supplies and grass normally, it will be enough for the army for three days, and if you save it, it will be enough for a week or seven days. ”
Before Deckers came to see Decker, he had counted all the food, grass and supplies left over from the entire Red Cross Expeditionary Army, so after Dekes asked him, he quickly replied.
