Chapter 18 The Bad News Comes
In the front hall of the Northwest Control Mansion, Gan Chongyue was tracing the sand table in a daze. From this morning, he had an ominous premonition in his heart, and always felt that something bad was about to happen.
Gan Chongyue believed in this feeling because this feeling had saved his life many times, so early in the morning he ordered the whole city to be alerted and sent someone to inform all battalions to be careful in everything.
In this way, the fighting sounds outside Xinqin County were continuous, and the enemy began to attack the city again, and they stopped until noon. Gan Chongyue was about to go to the city wall to take a look.
At this moment, a man rushed in outside the door and knelt on one knee and said, "Mr. Master, the big thing is wrong. General Chen Zhong's troops met Wang Mian on the way to Fuzhou. The people sent by General Chen Zhong to ask for help have arrived outside the door."
"What?" Gan Chongyue felt dizzy when he heard the news. You must know that the soldiers Chen Zhong led were all infantry this time, and the infantry encountered cavalry in the field and that there was only one outcome.
"Call the people in, hurry up," Gan Chongyue asked directly without waiting for him to speak, "When did you encounter Wang Mian?"
"Go back to Mr. Duke, we are the enemy troops we encountered yesterday. General Chen saw that the situation was not good, so he immediately sent me to ask for help."
After hearing this, Gan Chongyue waved his hand and asked the sender to go down, and then he could no longer hold on and then collapsed on the chair. It was over, Chen Zhong was over, my 30,000 soldiers. But Gan Chongyue soon recovered.
"Wang Mian! I will kill you!" Gan Chongyue immediately ordered all the provocates in the city to go to the battlefield to find out, and then sent people to Fuzhou to investigate the situation and see if Wang Mian attacked Fuzhou.
Later, Qian Jun was sent to command the cavalry battalion and wait for news. Why didn't Gan Chongyue send troops to support Fuzhou? Anyone who sent him could become the next Chen Zhong. Wang Mian predicted that he would send troops to reinforce him, so he ambushed halfway.
All Gan Chongyue can do now is to wait for the news and wait for the exact news before doing other actions. However, it is not to do anything. Gan Chongyue ordered a 50,000 army to set off to make the illusion of supporting Fuzhou. In fact, he walked ten miles and hid in the dense forest.
I waited anxiously until the evening finally heard the news: "The Duke's battlefield is twenty miles apart, but there are no traces of the enemy. I have left a few brothers to escort General Chen's body back to the city, but General Chen's head is gone."
"What? Come, summon all the generals to me and come to me immediately," Gan Chongyue suppressed his anger and issued an order.
After everyone arrived, Gan Chongyue said with a sad look on his face: "You should all know that Chen Zhong died in battle. He encountered Wang Mian on the way to support Fuzhou."
"I have sent someone to the battlefield to see that Wang Mian has run away. I have someone to transport Lao Chen's body back. I guess it will arrive tomorrow."
"Since I came to the northwest thirteen years ago, when did we suffer such a great loss, although Wang Mian ran away, the people outside the city are still there? What do you think should we do?"
The generals were angry and Qian Jun, the best person to Chen Zhong, was even more angry and shouted that he would leave the city now.
Seeing the morale below, Gan Chongyue felt relieved, "Okay, let's get Chen Zhong's body back tomorrow, we will see him off and announce the whole army to swear to avenge this revenge." Gan Chongyue stopped the generals and said
Under this emotion, the second day was soon on the second day. Chen Zhong's body was transported back and the generals saw him off in person. In addition to the necessary soldiers guarding the city, they basically came on the high platform of the school grounds.
Gan Chongyue stood on the platform and shouted loudly, "Soldiers, you should all know that General Yunhui Chen Zhong and the 30,000 soldiers led by him were unfortunately killed in battle, leaving only a small number of soldiers who survived. What do you think we should do?"
"Avenge! Revenge! Revenge!" The soldiers on the school ground shouted.
"Yes, we want to take revenge. I already know that the person who killed them was Wang Mian, the Hou of Gucheng of Xia Kingdom. This man was very cunning and fled directly after killing our brothers. Although he fled, there were Xia Kingdom's army outside the city. What do you think we should do?"
"Kill them all! Kill them all! Kill them all!"
"You are all good-looking, and I ordered the entire army to tie white cloth to avenge our brothers." After that, he tied a white cloth strip to his left arm.
At this time, in the tent of the Xia army camp outside the city, Yu Yan and Fang Jiye were overjoyed after hearing the shouts in the city, and Yu Yan was excited and said, "Old Fang seems that Wang Mian has succeeded. It is estimated that Fuzhou has been taken down by Wang Mian now."
"The enemy is about to get into chaos. We have to work harder to continue to attack the city and fight for another two days. After all, the food and grass that our army captured Fuzhou was cut off. Now it's just a breath of energy, but after all, the food and grass are cut off. I think they can hold on for a few more days." Yu Yan said proudly with pride
Fang Jiye was also happy after hearing Yu Yan's words, and at the same time, he felt a sense of fear of Wang Mian. Wang Mian was indeed powerful and was taken down in Fuzhou in just a few days. It seems that he is going to accelerate. After all, this time the matter is of great importance, so that he cannot surpass Wang Mian, and it cannot be too different.
Gan Chongyue had already thought about how to deal with them. Gan Chongyue had sent the 50,000 troops from the city had already traveled through the dense forest and headed ten miles away from the enemy. Qian Jun was also sent out of the city to wait for an opportunity. Now Gan Chongyue just needs to show his wounded look at the top of the city.
Gan Chongyue now wants to attract the attention of the enemy so that the 50,000 troops can reach the designated position, so Gan Chongyue personally visited the city wall and issued an order to go out of the city to fight.
At this time, the Wei army was unstoppable and brave enough to kill the enemy in less than half an hour, forcing the Xia army to retreat twenty miles away from the camp.
Yu Yan and Fang Jiye had long expected this to happen, so they were calm. After all, they were declining and exhausted again and again. Just wipe out this spirit. As for how many soldiers would be killed or injured, no one would die in war. They were all the soldiers who rolled over from the sea of blood.
Yu Yan and Fang Jiye were very happy to see everything as they expected. At this time, Gan Chongyue's 50,000 troops were approaching them, but they did not notice it at all because everything was going smoothly.
Our protagonist also started his journey from Qin Zhao at this time, and was prepared to deal with the complicated situation that followed.
To be honest, Yuan Wenshu has no good way to solve this problem. After all, you know the secret and you regret it at this time. Isn’t that a joke?
Who are they? He is the King of Yan, one of the candidates for the Yongyi Hou Mansion who dominates Jiangnan and one of the candidates for the crown prince. In fact, Yuan Wenshu thought that he could not do so, so he agreed to vote.
After all, the failure of the Yanwang rebellion is also a matter of the future. After all, the previous guess was that if the Yanwang was really behind the Yongyi Hou Mansion, it would be completely different.
