Chapter 10: The Siege
The so-called Heishuiyuan is the place between Longmen Town, the border fortress of Great Xia, and Weizhou, Heishuiyuan is very large, and Longmen Town is surrounded in its center.
The climate here is harsh, perennial inexplicably blowing a gust of black wind, the wild grass on the plain is constantly swaying with the wind, and it is becoming more and more tenacious, different from other places, Heishuiyuan is a mysterious place, under this away from the grassland, I don't know what to cover up some of the past, so that the large and small pools here, look pitch black, creepy. The famous Wanggui Lake is also in the northwest of Heishuiyuan.
"Chief, there is a swamp in front, and there are no footprints around, and there are no horseshoe prints!" Liu Chen, dressed in black soft armor, was hiding in the weeds more than half a person tall with the two monks of ascetic suffering, and not long after, a sergeant ran not far away, which was one of the three hundred new arrivals in the Muzi Battalion.
The crowd was crowded in the weeds, and several leading school officials slowly gathered around Liu Chen and the others, their expressions were a little dignified.
"Brother Chen, where do you say Jiannu will be?" After a long time, the great monk asceticism asked everyone's thoughts, "We have gone deeper than two hundred miles, and further west, we are almost in Longmen Town!"
"I can't get to Longmen Town!" Liu Chen frowned, his eyes stared at the few goshawks that had been hovering above their heads, and a bad premonition slowly began to sprout in his heart, "You said, the Xuanjia Army is trapped in Hangu Pass, and the Wind and Thunder Iron Cavalry is trapped in Longmen Town, but our army is at the entrance of Heishuiyuan, and Longmen Town is in the middle of Heishuiyuan, that is to say, the three armies are separated by Heishuiyuan alive!"
"And the 130,000 Jiannu and the vanguard army of the seventy-two clans who broke the camp of the Forgotten Lake are wandering in the Black Water Plain!" the little monk added with a little pale face, and as soon as this sentence was spoken, the faces of everyone present changed.
"Go back to the camp first, please make a decision!" The great monk sighed deeply, exchanged a look with Liu Chen, who was silent on the side, and ordered everyone to return to the camp.
As soon as he returned to the camp, Ascetic signaled Liu Chen to follow him to the big tent of the Chinese army, and the rest of the people also returned to the place where the Muzi camp was stationed and began to bury the pot for breakfast.
"What do you mean. There was a large sand table in the big tent, and the march map was also hung on the wall, and after listening to the report of the ascetic, Gong Yanming of the Jin Kingdom stood up, walked to the side of the ascetic and Liu Chen, and asked with a solemn face: "Do they want to encircle the Xuanjia army to consume the wind and thunder iron cavalry, and surround the wind and thunder iron cavalry to consume us?"
Liu Chen kept his head down, and waited until Yan Ming opened his mouth to ask, he raised his head slightly, while looking at the other three people sitting upright not far away, Xue Zheng He had seen it, and a middle-aged man who looked like a thin scholar sitting next to Xue Zheng should be Song Zhong, the governor of Langya Weidu in Yunzhou, seeing him, Liu Chen couldn't help but take a few more looks, when he was in Fancheng Prison, this metropolitan governor could be regarded as saving his life. At the top of the place, next to Yan Ming's seat, a young man with a resolute face and a handsome appearance should be the famous Yunguo Duke Wang.
The prince of Yunguo is the youngest prince of the nine kilometers, look at that appearance, at most thirty years old, even so, no one dares to underestimate him, the rules of the nine holy lands are there, every prince's territory, the two most outstanding disciples, one is the prince of the country, and the other is the successor of the holy lord, Yunzhou is the territory of Wushen Peak, in terms of force, Wushen Peak should be the first in the world, the first in the world The prince of the country, who can underestimate it? Who dares to underestimate it?
Seeing that Liu Chen and the ascetic were silent, Yun Guogong on the first seat stood up, walked to the side of Jin Guogong, stared at the two of them with blazing eyes, and muttered for a moment, only to hear him indifferently open his mouth and ask: "Uncle Nine sent a letter to us to go to Longmen, if you are the leader of the slave thieves, how should you deal with it?"
"Gongming, the two of them are just rookies who have just entered the battlefield, aren't you asking them in vain?" Yan Ming glanced at Wang Jin, squinted his eyes and smiled a little puzzled: "If you have something to say, you just say, uncle, I don't know how to write and ink, since I am here, I will give you a striker, what do you think, just give me an order!"
"Uncle is serious, the scouts who can evacuate immediately when they see that the situation is not right, are not rookies, if my expectations are good, if they go one step later, the little three hundred people are estimated to be wiped out!" Forget to return to the lake, is the highest place in the black water plain, is the fortress between the valley and the Hangu Pass, the seventy-two tribes took the forget to return to the lake, then directly cut off our reinforcements from Youzhou, Chongzhou, Yuezhou, the military horses of the three states in the south, want to gallop to the Hangu Pass, you can only detour from Jinzhou, this circumambulation, to say the least you have to go three or five months, and the loss of the Forget to return to the lake, then Jialing Pass is also a lonely city at the moment, the reinforcements from the south basically have no chance to come to Hangu Pass, because they have to defend Jialing Pass, Jialing Pass can not be broken, otherwise the western front of Daxia is lost, and it will no longer be able to return to the sky, and solve the problem in the south, at least 300,000 people, condescending, looking at Hangu, Longmen, Heishuiyuan is very large, and the coalition army of the seventy-two clans is even bigger, not so much that we are surrounded by Heishuiyuan, it is better to say that we are surrounded by the seventy-two clans!"
"Again, if we send troops to the Dragon Gate, if you are the commander of the seventy-two clans, what should you do?" Wang Jin smiled slightly, walked to Liu Chen's side again, and asked quietly.
"If the last general is the commander of the seventy-two clans, when the two grand dukes send troops, they will forget to return to the lake defenders to storm the north gate of Longmen Town, once the wind and thunder iron cavalry hesitates, the 130,000 Jiannu will take advantage of the situation to attack the south gate of Longmen Town, at that time, the Cangzhou army is difficult to care about, our Jinzhou and Yunzhou military horses are bound to be not the opponent of Jiannu, a little delay, the whole army may be annihilated! At that time, Jiannu will attack the south of Longmen again, and under the attack of the two armies, the wind and thunder iron cavalry will be in danger. ”
"Hehe, Liu Chen, right!" Wang Jin smiled slightly, and when Liu Chen expressed his opinion without being humble or arrogant, he smiled with appreciation: "I have long heard that Brother Fan Chengchen is a hero, and when I see it today, it is worthy of his reputation, no wonder the Governor of Song has supported you, but he didn't worry about his father-in-law, hehe." ”
Hearing Wang Jin's words, Liu Chen hurriedly said that he didn't dare, and then bowed to the thin scholar who was sitting in the distance: "The matter of the year, the last general should have been asked and beheaded, thank you to the Metropolitan Governor for his mercy, so that Chen can survive and steal his life, this kindness, dust is unforgettable!"
"Ahem. Song Zhong, who was beside Xue Zheng, helped Liu Chen when he heard this, and put on an admiring face and said: "Yang Si, that kid wanted to protect you back then, and the governor didn't want to save his face directly, after the incident, the governor clarified all the files of the year's affairs, the Xiao family is indeed a great crime, Liu Shaoxia is a loyal and righteous person, and the governor has also done his duty, thank you for not daring, when the country is in danger, you and I should work together to live up to the trust of the saint and the Hou Ye." ”
"Follow the teachings of the Metropolitan Governor! Thank you to your grandfather for his mercy back then. Liu Chen gave up his hand again, and then said no more, but his remarks made Yan Ming and Xue Zheng look sideways, especially Xue Zheng, whose eyes were shining and thoughtful.
