Chapter 364 A Thousand People Drinking
Chu Yucheng and Lang Yi in the tent, Xin Ji were also shocked after hearing this.
In fact, when Xie Xiaolei chose to stay and have a look, several people had already guessed that Xie Xiaolei would not give up his plan to attack Jianmen Pass.
Then Xie Xiaolei and Bian Luan wandered around the mountains for three days, which made several people more sure of their thoughts.
But no one expected him to be so bold as to use three uncertain things to bet on this victory.
Xie Xiaolei took a deep breath: "Yes! The army must attack Tanzhou from Longhanguan Pass. If the reinforcements of the Jin soldiers continue, they may fall into a long battle! By then, the losses will be far more than a thousand cavalry! If the Jianmen Pass battlefield can be opened,
The situation will definitely tilt in our favor!"
Having said this, Xie Xiaolei knelt down on one knee: "When I was in the Imperial College, Xiaolei had the honor to deduce the battle situation in the southern border with the general, and he was deeply touched. Today, I, Xie Xiaolei, want to make a bet and use the lives of myself and a thousand cavalrymen to gamble with the sword.
Menguan can be successfully captured! Let our Beiliang border army successfully capture the entire territory of Tanzhou!"
"And my life!" Bian Luan also imitated Xie Xiaolei's example, knelt down on one knee and shouted loudly.
A trace of astonishment flashed in Xin Ji's eyes. He knew Bian Luan's temperament best and rarely convinced others. This Xie Xiaolei was more than ten years younger than Bian Luan, but he could let Bian Luan accompany him to risk his life in just three days.
How did he do that?
Chenyue's eyes kept scanning the resolute faces of the two people, and after a long time he slowly said: "Xie Xiaolei, Bian Luan. Even if you successfully capture Jianmen Pass, how can you defend it? Jin from the two directions of Yanzhou and Tanzhou
Troops are bound to come out of Bingonggong City, and you only have a thousand people. Even if I send light infantry through the Longmen Mountains for reinforcements, I will only send out 5,000 to 10,000 people at most. If you can't defend Jianmen Pass, you will still have a narrow escape."
"Don't worry, general!" Bian Luan said in a deep voice: "Jianmen Pass is surrounded by mountains on the east and west sides. You only need to guard the north and south sides. There are some brothers in the Ban Liao camp who are familiar with the terrain of the Longmen Mountains. Let them take the lead when the time comes.
The soldiers lead the way, and we only need to send out five thousand infantry, and we will be able to defend Jianmen Pass!"
Chenyue and the generals in the tent looked at each other a few times, a little unable to bear to make this decision.
"General! It's worth the two of our lives in exchange for the entire territory of Tanzhou!" Xie Xiaolei shouted.
There was silence in the tent.
Chen Yue exhaled a breath of turbid air and said with a slightly trembling tone: "That's right!"
"Thank you, General!" The two men nodded heavily.
Chen Yue stretched out his hand to pull the two of them up one after another, with a stern look in his eyes: "I believe you two can conquer Jianmen Pass!"
Xie Xiaolei and Bian Luan smiled calmly: "If you don't succeed, you will succeed!"
Chenyue stretched out a finger: "Once Jianmen Pass is captured, I will try my best to send light infantry along the Longmen Mountains for reinforcements. As long as we hold on for a month, the Beiliang Iron Cavalry will definitely appear at the gate of Jianmen Pass!"
"No!" the two shouted in unison.
"Go down and get ready!" Chenyue patted the two of them on the shoulders, hesitated and said, "Let the brothers drink some wine tonight!"
"No!" The two of them turned and left without hesitation.
Sitting aside, the old general Lang Yi couldn't bear it. He looked at the two people's backs and said softly: "Master Marquis, isn't this move too risky?"
Xin Ji smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It takes a crazy person to think of such a way of playing."
"I believe in Xie Xiaolei and Bian Luan!" Chen Yue clenched his hands behind his back.
Back in the Imperial Academy, Xie Xiaolei's high-spirited appearance made Chen Yue fall in love with this young man at a glance. The crazy energy left the Marquis of Beiliang still fresh in his memory.
Lang Yi pursed his lips, not knowing what to say.
"Send the order!" Chenyue shouted: "Ask Li Batian to mobilize 10,000 infantry to assemble here immediately, recruit soldiers who are familiar with the terrain from the Ban Liao Camp, and be ready to cross the Longmen Mountains at any time!"
"No!" everyone shouted in unison.
Chen Yue looked at Chu Yucheng: "Go to Longhanguan and take charge. If you have the chance to lead the defenders out of the city to fight, it would be best. If not, attack Jianmen Pass as soon as you get it!"
"No!" Chu Yucheng nodded.
He knew that if Jianmen Pass was successful, he would have to invade Tanzhou within a month so that the cavalry and horse hooves could appear under the Jianmen Pass City.
Otherwise, Xie Xiaolei and his army would really be doomed.
Slowly, night falls.
The place where the Beiliang Army camped was lit up with countless firelights, and figures kept flashing. Not far away was the Longmen Mountains that were prostrate on the ground like a giant dragon.
Towering and majestic!
The barracks of Right Cavalry Lieutenant Xie Xiaolei's headquarters
A thousand burly men from the Northern Liang Army sat on the ground, forming a large circle.
Everyone had excited eyes on their faces because there would be wine to drink soon.
Because the Northern Liang army was not allowed to drink alcohol during the war, who would not be happy if a man on the battlefield had alcohol to drink?
In fact, these guys know better than to give someone a drink for no reason.
Zhuangxingjiu.
It’s just a matter of drinking, but who should be afraid of it?
Xie Xiaolei stood in front of the crowd, with Bian Luan and Vice Colonel Xu Yan on the left and right respectively.
Xie Xiaolei looked at the faces of a thousand people and a thousand bowls of wine, and chuckled: "Brothers, you have been following me, Xie, for more than half a year. How about it? I, Xie, am capable, right? You can drink a bowl of wine now."
, the hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the entire army can only watch helplessly!"
"Hahaha!"
The whole camp burst into laughter.
"After drinking this bowl of wine, do you know where you are going?" Xie Xiaolei's face suddenly became serious.
"Where are we going! Where are we going!" A rough shout came from the crowd.
Deputy Lieutenant Xu Yan on the side laughed and said: "Where the head goes, we go!"
The whole audience shouted:
"Where our heads go, we go!"
Bian Luan's heart tightened. How could these men not know that they were risking their lives? But who had frowned?
Is this the Northern Liang Army?
Xie Xiaolei slowly picked up the wine glass in his hand and said loudly: "Let's go to Longmen Mountains, to the plank road, to Jiange, and to Jianmen Pass a hundred miles away! Taking Jianmen Pass will allow our Beiliang army to successfully capture Tanzhou
The whole territory, save Liaodong from fire and water!"
A thousand soldiers were silent, but the tip of Bian Luan's nose felt a little sore.
Xie Xiaolei continued: "This battle is difficult. Many people may die, and maybe we will all die! But I, Xie Xiaolei, assure you that even if we die, it will be worth our while!"
The whole audience was in awe, and their heads said:
We deserve to die!
We, including him Xie Xiaolei!
The fire in the camp creaked and swayed slightly.
All the thousands of Northern Liang troops stood up with their drinks in hand and looked at the general.
Xie Xiaolei looked at the stern eyes of his thousands of men, gritted his teeth, and spoke word by word:
"The towering Beiliang!"
"Who is afraid of death?"
Thousands of people roared together!
"Do it!" Xie Xiaolei roared angrily and drank all the wine in the bowl.
"Dry!"
Eat a thousand cups and bowls!
Thousands of people want to gamble their lives!
Not far away from the camp, Chen Yue, Lang Yi, Bu Wenshan, and Xin Ji stood side by side.
Watching those thousands of people drinking,
Listen to those thousands of people roaring!
Chenyue murmured: "This is my Beiliang, my Beiliang."
Chapter completed!
