Chapter 703 Early Winter 9
On the seventh day of the winter month of the 23rd year of Zhaohua.
early morning.
Yudan River Plain, sunny.
There is misty.
At Wuya Pass, the newly appointed border guard general Gou Kuo was wearing a glamorous armor and a broad sword hanging on his waist. Under the protection of a group of personal guards, he began a routine patrol.
Standing on the high wall of the wall, Huo Kuo put his right hand on the hilt of the sword and supported the wall of the wall with his left hand.
He glanced at the Yudan River Plain hidden under the mist extremely seriously and said to the left and right deputy generals beside him:
"I am trusted by the prince to come to guard the border. Before leaving, His Highness the prince said something earnest to me in the study of the East Palace."
He raised his left hand and pointed at it down and pulled it, "The Yudan River Plain is a treasure land!"
"It has a vast territory and a fertile land, which is even worse than our Xiayuanzhou!"
"Your Highness said that I hope that this general can purify the border army. Not only should we protect this Wuya Pass, but we should also train all the soldiers of the Qichengzhai more strictly!"
"Next autumn, His Highness the Crown Prince will ascend the throne to the emperor!"
He pointed to the Yudan River Plain in the mist, "Your Highness hopes that this general can seize this large piece of land and send it to the throne ceremony in the form of a good news on the day of his ascension!"
"Add a touch of great color to Your Highness's throne ceremony!"
He turned his head and looked at the soldiers behind him, his voice becoming louder:
"Everyone, you are all the direct confidants brought by this general from Kyoto, and you are the most trustworthy and sharpest swords in your hands!"
"This general has completed the replacement of the seven generals in the Seven City Villages... They are all powerful generals transferred by their father from the Condor Heroes!"
"It's a pity that Xia Li is negligent in training soldiers. The cavalry does not have the skills that cavalry should have, and the infantry does not have the formation that infantry should have..."
"Compared with the Condor Heroes, the soldiers from these seven cities are simply a group of people!"
"Fortunately, Your Highness was aware of his thoughts and made timely adjustments. Otherwise, with their combat effectiveness... One day, this Wuya Pass would fall into Ning Jun's hands again, and even the Yuanzhou would not be spared!"
"Now, the seven generals are retraining those soldiers according to the training method of the Condor Heroes, and they can form strong combat power in about half a year."
“By then…next summer,”
Gou Kuo put his eyes on the vast Yudan River Plain again. His waist was straight, and his square face was filled with excitement:
"This general will personally lead 100,000 soldiers and leave Wuya Pass... to seize the Yudan River Plain and give the best gift to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
The soldiers behind him were greatly encouraged and thunderous applause suddenly erupted.
They all looked excited because this was a great achievement of breaking the territory!
But at this moment, Gou Kuo frowned and he stretched out his left hand and pointed in the direction of the Red Flame Army Camp.
"What's that?"
Just in the mist, it was vaguely seen that the Red Flame Army camp was not as quiet as before.
Not only are there many people moving, but there are also many tall things that don’t know what’s going on!
Chen Zhongshi, the left deputy general of the border guard, touched the cluster of short beards, looked for a moment, and said very seriously:
"General, could it be that the Red Flame Army was ineffective for a long time. Seeing heavy snow coming, they were going to withdraw the camp to Yudan River?"
Zhang Shiqiang, the right deputy general of the border guard, also spoke at this moment:
"General, Ningguo's national strength is weak, and he is so stalemate, I think the food and supplies of the Chiyan Army are almost cut off."
"Ningguo placed his hope on the Regent Li Chenan. Li Chenan died on the top of the West Mountain. This originally caused a heavy blow to the Red Flame Army, so the Red Flame Army has not launched an attack these days."
"Now it is reported that Li Chenan was pretending to die. He went to the Forgetful Platform of the Sword Cleaning Tower... I think this news has also spread to the Chiyan Army."
"Wu Mian and Yan Jinnong must know that there is no entry or exit in the Forgetting Platform, so Li Chenan can't come out again in this life. This is no different from real death."
"Therefore, I thought that they had no will to fight anymore, and it was still good to retreat to the Yudan River line. If they couldn't do it well, they would give up the entire Annan Road!"
The left deputy general Chen Zhongshi nodded and looked at Gou Kuo, "General, why not take his life while he is sick!"
He punched the wall, "What if we fight out of Wuya Pass and beat the dogs in the water?"
Gou Kuo was ready to move, but he still pushed back the idea.
"The cavalry of Qichengzhai, who were originally stationed in the gate wall, have returned to Qichengzhai to receive new training. There are only more than 50,000 soldiers guarding the gate... It is not appropriate to leave the gate because the Red Flame Army has the fireworks in its hands."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that the Ministry of Works is doing its best to study the manufacturing process of fireworks. Once the research is successful, it will be the first to supply us."
"Don't worry, there are many credits!"
"This general needs to obtain the greatest contribution at the lowest price."
"Let's ignore it, go and patrol the wall!"
Gou Kuo tucked his big cloak and was about to turn around and leave, his eyes glanced at the wall below.
The foot he took out was retracted.
A look of surprise appeared on his square face.
Because the Red Flame Army in the distance did not retreat, but pushed the tall thing and was coming towards the wall!
The wall is closed on the top of the mountain.
The Red Flame Army is on the hillside.
The thing looks huge, so it is very slow to push upwards.
But just in the sight of Gou Kuo and others, many soldiers appeared on the mountainside!
Not the Red Flame Army’s soldiers!
Because their flags are not the bright red of the Red Flame Army, but... black!
"Divine Guards!"
Gou Kuo turned his head and looked at the right deputy general Zhang Shiqiang, frowned and asked, "Didn't it mean that the 50,000 God Guards have left Yudan River and returned to Shuzhou?"
Zhang Shiqiang was also shocked.
He quickly bowed and said, "General, this information was said by Xia Li's former scout... He said that the Divine Guard had left more than three months ago. At that time, we were still in Kyoto, and it was only about half a month since we were here..."
Gou Kuo's cheeks bulged, "Dog said Xia Li, this is my way!"
"Fate... all departments are strengthening their vigilance!"
"I'm going to send someone to Qichengzhai as soon as possible. The enemy army is approaching, and Wuyaguan needs support!"
"Rimmer the wolf smoke! Get ready for the battle!"
As a horn sounded, Wuyaguan's wall suddenly became busy.
Straight wolf smoke rose from beacon towers everywhere. Wuyaguan, which had been calm for half a year, sounded the sky-shaking war drums again.
Rear of the Red Flame Army.
A huge battlefield emergency camp was built here.
The camp was filled with a lot of herbs.
There are also many doctors from the Yudancheng Medical Center in the camp, busy placing healing ointments according to the prescription written by Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu and others came outside the camp at this moment, and all looked at the wolf smoke in the distance, and at the catapults slowly moving upwards.
Wang Zhenghaoxuan was surprised by the weirdness of the thing, and couldn't help but turn his head and ask his father:
"Enemy all knows our movements. Can this thing be useful?"
Wang Zheng and Jin Zhong glared at him: "You know what a big deal!"
"This is not a sneak attack!"
"This is to knock Wuyaguan down with dignity!"
"Let Wu Jun see the beauty of these fireworks!"
But Xiao Wu looked at the Divine Guards on both wings.
Chapter completed!
