Chapter 178 Xiaoxiaoshi
Just when they were still half a day away from Zhenchengguan, Feng Ling's previous guess came true. The enemy's army took advantage of this moment to transfer some of its troops to Milu City, and was ready to attack the barrier at any time.
The opponent was clearly prepared, and even though Zhenchengguan took full advantage of its geographical advantage, and it was only an hour before the battle, the losses were much more than expected.
If it goes on like this, by the time they arrive, Zhenchengguan may be unable to hold on.
Feng Ling frowned, his palms tightened, and the note that conveyed the letter was quickly squeezed into a ball.
He brought a total of 20,000 people with him, and quickly made a decision. First, he would take five hundred elite riders and march at full speed, while the others kept up with the current speed.
Feng Ling meant to let Yi Xie stay with the big army. Although the emperor did say that the prince should come to experience the experience, he did not really intend to throw him into the center of the battlefield.
Feng Ling explained the matter, and when he ordered the person, he was about to set off, and found that Yi Xie was actually following.
Although he has been on the road these days, the young man still has a handsome and elegant attitude, or because of the royal blood, he is born with a bit of extravagance: Feng Ling frowned and looked straight into the other side's eyes: "Don't. Just kidding, it's not child's play."
The group of them rushed to the rescue. There was no chance to rest in the middle, and there was no time for repairs after arriving there. They had to go directly to the battlefield to fight the enemy, and they had to help the town even in the face of difficult situations. Chengguan held on, and waited until the people behind came up to meet and fight back.
No one can tell what happens on the battlefield. Injuries are common, and you may lose an arm or a leg, or even your life.
"I didn't think it was a child's play," Yi Xie said calmly, "Let's go."
The military discipline has always been strict, but this Yi Xie is not a member of his army, and he clearly does not want to listen to his command. Feng Ling frowned even more tightly, and he lifted the reins and stopped Yi Xie in front of him.
The way forward was blocked, Yi Xie could only stop and look up at the person in front of him.
Neither of the two said a word, so they faced each other in silence.
You don't listen to what I say, I don't listen to what you say, what can I do
Then let's communicate directly.
The two shot almost at the same time, and before everyone could react, they were already fighting in front.
Everyone originally thought that this would be a one-sided victory for Feng Ling, but I didn't expect that Yi Xie, the rumored prince who knew nothing, could actually be on a par with Feng Ling. wa: Even Feng Ling is getting more and more surprised. Although Yi Xie couldn't get any bargains from him, he couldn't win against him, and Yi Xie wasn't the kind of lazy and pretty slut rumored in the market at all.
In the end, the two looked at each other, and without a word, they closed their hands together tacitly. After a short confrontation, the two were considered to be in a draw.
Yi Xie glanced at Feng Ling and smiled: "Why, don't stop me again"
Feng Ling didn't look at him, pulled the reins and turned the horse's head: "Let's go."
Yi Xie smiled again, whipped the whip, and followed Feng Ling to the direction of Zhenchengguan at full speed.
When they arrived, the soldiers guarding the pass were still struggling and resisting stubbornly.
As soon as I heard that Feng Ling came to support himself and wanted to guard the customs with them, I felt like I had a backbone, and I settled down at once, and the morale that had been sluggish also rose. vb:
"It's General Feng! Feng Ling is here!"
"Feng Jiang is the god of war. If he comes, we will definitely not lose!"
"We can't take a step back. We must know that behind us are our parents, wife and children! Even if we fight for this life, we must defend the town gate!!!"
Although Feng Ling only brought 500 people, these people were all elite soldiers he personally cultivated. 500 people could make 5 million people, plus there was another Yi Xie who was of the same level as him. It was to beat the enemy back.
The people on the opposite side had also heard of Feng Ling's prestige, and the leader saw that the situation was wrong, and immediately led their people to the direction of the station.
I thought that Feng Ling would definitely lead people to chase after the victory, but I didn't expect that the other party had no intention of catching up, so the soldiers under him picked up some fallen weapons and armor, and then they all returned to the gate.
The leader of the enemy army had a gloomy expression on his face. They had set up an ambush behind him. As long as Feng Ling dared to lead someone to chase him, he would keep the general Feng who had been dreaded by them for a long time.
I just didn't expect them to be in a good situation, why did they suddenly retreat?
Could it be that they are simply powerless and bluffing, that's why they let them escape
If this is the case, then now is the best time for them to fight back. I am afraid that this is actually an illusion deliberately disguised by Feng Ling, and it is also a conspiracy to attract them into the game.
The leader's fists clenched tightly, and the blue veins on his forehead burst out.
During the hours they fought, they lost three times as many soldiers as the other side. However, Zhenchengguan was not captured, and they returned to the original place without any progress at all.
Different from their side, there is an atmosphere of high morale in Zhenchengguan. The generals guarding the customs here are two levels behind Feng Ling, and they were seriously injured on the previous battlefield, so, naturally, they took over the command post.
Although Yi Xie is used to using swords, but in places like the battlefield, long knives and spears have more distance advantages. During the fight just now, snatched two guns from the hands of the people on the opposite side, and knocked down quite a few people. didn't have time to change clothes, and now body is covered in blood.
He threw the gun on the ground at will, and then asked the person in charge here to help him find a suit.
The person in charge was startled by him, and subconsciously took a few steps back, looked at Feng Leng in front of him, and looked like he needed the other party to make up his mind.
Feng Ling introduced to the other party: "This is Lord Subaru."
Lord!
The expression on the steward's face changed, and he hurriedly gave Yi Xie a big gift, repeatedly apologized that he had eyes but didn't recognize Mount Tai, but he didn't recognize it.
He hurriedly ordered someone to fetch water for the prince, and also found a new set of clothes.
Yi Xie left immediately. Until his figure disappeared at the door, the steward didn't come back to his senses.
Although he is in a relatively remote place from the imperial city, he has also heard rumors of several princes, such as Yi Feng and Yi Wu, who are strong contenders for the throne. Yi Xie is the least talked about one, everyone Speaking of him, there is only one sentence that comes to mind.
But look now
How can it not be related to the word straw bag?
It even gives a rather terrifying feeling.
Yi Xie came back soon after.
After washing the blood on his face and changing into clean clothes, he turned back to the handsome and noble Prince Subaru in the imperial city.
Feng Ling called all the soldiers who had positions in Zhencheng Pass, and said that after the preparations for the war, Yi Xie just came back at this time, pushed the door and walked in directly, and then took a seat beside Feng Ling.
Yi Xie is too handsome, even wearing simple clothes, it is difficult to hide his natural extravagance, and he doesn't look like someone who has been on the battlefield for a long time like them.
Someone immediately slapped the table and stood up, shouting boldly.
The person next to him followed closely and asked who was coming.
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense, Yi Xie curled the corner of his lower lips frivolously, and said indifferently: Everyone on the field changed their faces.
There is only one family with the surname Yi in China.
Everyone realized who this was, and immediately stood up to salute him.
"Don't worry, the business is important, let's talk about how to fight in the future." Yi Xie waved his hand and looked at Feng Ling, the only person on the court who could still maintain a calm expression.
Everyone did not expect that His Royal Highness King Subaru was unexpectedly easy to get along with, and their hearts were slightly relieved.
Feng Ling analyzed the current situation of the two sides. According to the information just returned, Milu City has assembled an army of 400,000 troops to deal with the attack of the same 400,000 troops from foreign enemies.
And Zhenchengguan originally had 200,000 troops stationed here, and half of it was allocated to Milu City in the past few days, so there are only 100,000 soldiers left to guard the gate, and it is estimated that there are more than 250,000 soldiers on the opposite side. The team of 20,000 people they brought will not arrive until a while later. When they are in place, they will only have 120,000 troops. Although they have a geographical advantage, the gap in numbers is still quite obvious.
Feng Ling re-arranged his troops, and at the same time told everyone that the rest period would not be too long, everyone should hurry up and rest, the generals on the opposite side should soon find out the truth about why they didn't catch up, and then they would choose to tackle the problem again.
However, the opponent's generals were more cautious than they thought. They rested for a long time. Even the 20,000 people had already reached the town gate and were ready to fight at any time. There was still no movement on the other side.
At night, Feng Ling had dinner and returned to the resting place. As soon as he opened the door, he found that someone was waiting for him inside. After all, Feng Ling had always been on high alert to deal with all kinds of ambush that might appear.
There was no light in the room, and before Feng Ling's eyes could adjust to the darkness, the person opposite turned his trick, and at the same time returned him.
This feels quite familiar.
After two more moves, the two stopped at the same time, Feng Ling looked at the figure directly opposite, and his tone was a little helpless.
"What are you doing here"
The man walked forward step by step, getting closer, and Feng Ling could also see the handsome face of the other party.
Yi Xie pointed to the sky and smiled meaningfully: "Today's night is so good, should we go on a 'night tour' together?"
"Where?" Feng Ling asked subconsciously.
Yi Xie had just taken the lamp-lighting torch from the room, and now he took it out and shook it in front of Feng Ling, while smiling at the other party.
"Just take a walk and digest your food."
