Light riding smart, no scruples, long-distance galloping, early in the morning of the seventh day, finally passed through the border of Lu country smoothly, and arrived at the border of Chentangguan.

At the beginning of summer, a gentle drizzle soaks the earth, and everything grows in the world. It was originally a land rich in grain and grass, but unfortunately due to the destruction of the war, it became a front-line war area, and the fields were barren, uncultivated, and overgrown with weeds.

Long-term pain is better than labor pain...... Yang Fanhai suddenly remembered Gongsun Xuanyuan's words and chewed them carefully in his heart. After taking Qingzhou and Xuzhou, nearly half of Kyushu fell into the hands of the bear country, and the next step was either the Northern Expedition to recapture Yanzhou, or the Western Expedition, and Zhu Guo decided the final fate of the unification of the human race.

The current war is just for a better tomorrow for the Terrans...... There is only such comfort in his heart, but he has already made up his mind that he must fight for the Northern Expedition, and as for the western conquest of Zhu, Yang Fanhai is really not interested in getting involved.

Riding lightly, it was finally at Chentang Pass at noon.

The Ghost Fang tribe has not yet arrived, but the breath of war is already extremely strong, and the soldiers on the city wall are all solemn and sitting in danger.

Seeing soldiers and horses coming, a general who looked like a general stood on the city wall and shouted, "Who is coming?"

Yang Fanhai replied loudly: "I am Yang Fanhai, the general of Zhengyuan, and I came to reinforce on the order of the second prince, and please open the door quickly." ”

"It turned out that General Zhengyuan had arrived!" The man was overjoyed, and hurriedly called for someone to open the city gate, and he also ran down in a hurry, and bowed in front of Yang Fanhai: "Bai Jian, the new chief soldier in Xia Chentang Pass, has seen the general." ”

He is the new commander-in-chief, and now he has no rank, although he is the highest commander in the area of Chentangguan, but his official rank is lower than that of Yang Fanhai.

Yang Fanhai sat on the horseback and bowed back, and then asked, "How is the situation?"

Bai Jian hurriedly said: "As expected, the Ghost Fang clan came all the way along the defense line, and it was not far from Chentang Pass. I have already sent a plea for help, but the other passes are worried that the ghost tribe will return to the horse with a shot, so they dare not support easily. ”

"How many people are there in the city?" Yang Fanhai asked again.

Bai Jian replied: "More than 10,000!"

"Ten thousand, that's it!" Yang Fanhai looked stunned.

Bai Jian smiled bitterly: "When His Royal Highness the Second Prince left, he left 60,000 soldiers and horses, but after that, His Royal Highness the Great Prince was transferred to garrison other places. After a total of three transfers, there are only more than 10,000 people left. ”

Shaking his head again when he smiled bitterly, I am afraid that if it weren't for the Ghost Fang tribe coming to kill at this time, the soldiers and horses of Chentangguan would not even be able to leave 10,000.

"It's ridiculous!" Yang Fanhai couldn't help but scold, and then said loudly: "From now on, I will be in charge of the military affairs of Chentangguan, and you can tell me more about the situation here." ”

"Uh!" Bai Jian was stunned for a moment, looked at Yang Fanhai for a moment, and then nodded and said, "The last general will obey the order." ”

"Deng Yuanwu, Hu Gensheng, Liu Fucai, take the brothers to reorganize and rest, Wu Yan, Lin Zhenpei and I will go to Beichenglou to have a look. Yang Fanhai ordered again, and then said to Bai Jian: "Chief soldier, please!"

Bai Jian nodded, took a war horse, turned over and rode on, and led the group towards the north city gate.

"Sect leader, it's not appropriate for you to do this!" At this time, Wu Yan rode to Yang Fanhai's side and whispered: "You have just arrived at Chentangguan, and you asked to lead the military affairs, which is a seizure of power and a taboo in officialdom. It's okay if you can keep Chentang Pass this time, but if you can't keep it, all the responsibility will be up to you. ”

Yang Fanhai was stunned for a moment, his thoughts turned sharply, and after a while, he already felt that what Wu Yan said was true. It's not that he's worried about any responsibility, he's mentally prepared, even if he does everything he can to block the attack of the Ghost Fang clan. Once the Chentang Pass is broken, he will die here, and the responsibility is meaningless.

He just felt that his actions would cause Bai Jian, the chief soldier, to feel uncomfortable, and if he disobeyed his orders, or did not cooperate with his work, Chen Tangguan would be in trouble.

But this is already the case, since Bai Jian didn't say too much, there is no need to mention it, and pay more attention in the future.

Walking to the north city gate, the group went up to the city wall and looked into the distance. There are mountains and valleys in the distance, but there are plains for more than 100 miles in front of the city gate, which is suitable for a large army to attack.

To the east, the sea is not far away, and the sound of the tide can be heard faintly. This direction is close to the water, coupled with the sandy wetland, it is difficult to bear the end, which is not conducive to the attack of the army, and the ghost tribe should not choose this direction as the main direction of attack.

The war is imminent, the situation is in crisis, Bai Jian does not seem to be affected by Yang Fanhai's seizure of power, and tells the entire Chen Tangguan what he knows one by one, in great detail.

But the more detailed it was, the more Yang Fanhai frowned. Chentang Pass is not small, there are only more than 20,000 people at the moment, if you only defend one city wall, it will be enough, but in addition to the pressure in the direction of the East China Sea, the pressure should be small, and the other three sides may be attacked, once the number of people is dispersed, it will be more troublesome.

It is difficult to cook without rice for a clever woman, and Yang Fanhai has no choice, and he can't help but regret in his heart, he should let Wu Yan and them preside over the affairs of Qingzhou and let Xu Fan follow. That guy has a lot of tricks, maybe he can find a way.

But this idea is just a matter of thinking, Wu Shen and the others are not qualified, and they are afraid that they will not be able to control the 200,000 army due to their personality. Xu Fan pretended to be himself and gave orders for three months, an old fritter, and those people knew that he was an imposter and had become accustomed to his command. In addition to himself, only he can handle Qingzhou affairs.

It was between thoughts that a long black line appeared in the sky in the distance, and the light rain did not see the smoke and dust, but I could already feel the murderous aura coming.

"It's coming!" Bai Jian said softly, and he could hear some fear in his heart.

The Ghost Fang tribe is cruel and tyrannical, once the city is broken, I am afraid that it will be a massacre, and no one will survive. It's good that he has been able to keep it until now and hasn't abandoned the city and fled.

Yang Fanhai looked into the distance, his hand holding the black spear tightened, and his heart was a little chaotic, but he quickly calmed down. will be the courage of the soldiers, if they are in chaos, the morale of the entire Chentang Pass will plummet. Even if there is a big mountain in front of him, he will only think that the majestic wind is blowing.

"The order went down, Deng Yuanwu led 500 cavalry to stand by at the North City Gate, Hu Gensheng led 500 cavalry to stand by at the West City Gate, and Liu Fucai led 500 cavalry to stand by in the city. ”

"Wu Yan, once someone from the Ghost Fang tribe goes to the South City Gate, immediately notify Liu Fucai to go to the South City Gate to wait. The others, on the wall, prepared for battle. ”

One military order after another, Wu Yan took the order and left, Yang Fanhai stood at the gate of the city with a black spear in his hand, looking at the approaching army in the distance, motionless.

The black pressure is overwhelming, getting closer and closer, like a heavy dark cloud rushing towards the face, making people feel unsettled.

Five hundred meters away from Chentang Pass, the army of the Ghost Fang tribe stopped, lined up in a row, a kilometer long, at a glance, there should be 50,000.

The soldiers of each of the Ghost Fang tribes were more than three meters tall, and because of their natural sake, they could not stand upright, but they were not lying on their stomachs, and their bodies were short, as if a fierce beast was coiled there. Coupled with that hideous appearance, it makes people feel even more terrifying.

I thought that the ghost tribe would rush over in one go, but they stared at each other for a long time, and they didn't see each other move. Yang Fanhai was a little puzzled, but he immediately figured out that the other party just looked weird and ugly, but it was not a demon beast, but an intelligent race with Wu blood.

They may not be as intelligent as the Terrans, but they must not be described as stupid, but their thinking may be relatively simple.

Staring at each other, there is no movement. It's just that the Terran troops can't have any impact on the other party, and the oppression of the Ghost Fang tribe like a dark cloud makes the Terran soldiers on the city wall tremble slightly, a little scared.

I can't complain about these soldiers, most of the soldiers guarding here are soldiers and horses who surrendered from Changguo and Jiguo, and their combat effectiveness is not particularly strong. Especially here in Chentangguan, because of Gongsun Weiqing, the warriors of the Ghost Fang tribe who have hardly seen them have been left behind.

Even Hu Gensheng and the other hob meat were apprehensive when they heard the Ghost Fang Clan, let alone these people.

The other party is smarter than he imagined, Yang Fanhai sighed in his heart. If you continue like this, if you can't do something to break the confrontation, I'm afraid it won't take much time, and your morale will fall to the bottom. When the other party attacks again, it will be more difficult to defend the city.

But rushing out at this time is undoubtedly a self-defeating approach. Yang Fanhai thought in his heart, turned some thoughts, all of them were useless, and after a while, he suddenly saw the soldier holding a bow and arrow on the side, and suddenly had an idea in his heart, and immediately said in a deep voice: "Give me the bow and arrow!"

The soldier hurriedly handed over the bow and arrow in his hand.

Taking the bow and arrow, Yang Fanhai took a deep breath. He doesn't know archery, but he can still play the string. If he were to shoot at a certain target, he would not be able to do it. But at the moment, there is a dense army in front of you, as long as you shoot arrows at you, you can shoot people with your eyes closed.

At this time, a high platform was raised in the middle of the army of the ghost tribe in front of him, which was made of stone. The Onifang tribe with Wu blood is extremely powerful, and it is easy to build such a high platform.

Then I watched a figure dressed in leather armor stride up, its figure was taller than the ordinary ghost soldiers, and its aura was much better than others, it was obvious that he was the leader of this army.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!"

As the leader of the ghost side stepped up to the high platform, tens of thousands of troops roared loudly together, and the momentum shook the sky, as if the mountains were pressing on the top, making the defenders of Chentang Pass even more nervous.

The leader of the ghost side sat down on the high platform and looked at Yang Fanhai's direction with a sneer, as if he wanted to appreciate the upcoming slaughter from this position.

"It's just a bid to sell the head!" Yang Fanhai laughed loudly, urging the brute bull's strength, his body soared by three percent, and the muscles of his arms seemed to be made of steel, which was hideous and terrifying.

With a wave of his hands, he pulled the big bow in his hand apart and poured true qi. With a loud shout, the sharp arrow was already flying out of the string.
