Early the next morning, Chai Yan and his four men, escorted by Ahudala and others, headed for the Qingyuan Pass.
Among the entourage was Pang Zhenbei.
It was Chai Yan's idea to let Pang Zhenbei go to Qingyuan Pass with him. Pang Zhenbei was defeated by Chai Yan and promised to obey his orders in the future, so he had a general who was capable and had a certain prestige in the army.
It's still necessary.
In order to shorten the journey time, Chai Yan refused to take a carriage and chose to ride a horse.
In this case, it only takes one and a half hours to ride north out of the city and reach Qingyuan Pass.
After riding for more than an hour, everyone was a little tired, so they found a shady place to dismount and take a rest.
Chai Yan drank water, looked at the road leading to the north, and asked: "Second Prince, are we almost there?"
Ahudala was also drinking water. When he heard the question, he immediately said: "Yes, Taoist Master, a little further ahead is the Luna Army camp. When you reach the Luna Army camp, you will reach the Qingyuan Pass."
Chai Yan smiled and said: "Moon God Army, this is a good name."
Ahudala said: "Taoist Master, the Moon God Army is the most courageous army in our Muyue Kingdom. The Qingyuan Pass has never been lost because of the Moon God Army's firm defense."
Chai Yan nodded and asked: "Second Prince, how many defenders are there in Qingyuan Pass now?"
Ahudala thought for a while and said: "About two thousand defenders, half of them are the Luna Army, and the other half are the sergeants who gathered back after the northern part was lost."
At this time, Jimo Qiao came over and asked: "Second Prince, the last time the Piz people attacked Qingyuan Pass, how many people came?"
After hearing this, Chai Yan also showed an expression of wanting to know.
Ahudala said: "General Pang knows this better than me. Let General Pang come over and talk about it."
With that said, Ahudala called Pang Zhenbei over.
After listening to the question, Pang Zhenbei answered very decisively: "The last time the Pitz people invaded, there were a total of 30,000 troops not including the rear handymen. They continued to attack for ten days and never broke through the Qingyuan Pass.
Finally, it rained heavily and they had to give up the attack."
When he said these words, Pang Zhenbei looked very proud, because the opponent's force was ten times that of our own, which was not an easy task.
Jimo Qiao didn't like Pang Zhenbei, and when he saw that he was too proud, he became resistant: "Huh? Look, there is a cow flying in the sky..."
Pang Zhenbei didn't think much and subconsciously raised his head to look at the sky. But as soon as he raised his head, he heard Jimo Qiao's sneer.
In an instant, Pang Zhenbei understood that Jimo Qiao was laughing at himself for "bragging".
"you......"
Pang Zhenbei was immediately angry, but the second prince was right in front of him, so it was hard for him to get angry.
So I could only hold back my anger and replied forcefully: "I'm not bragging. It's up to you to believe it or not."
Jimo Qiao immediately wanted to reply, but Chai Yan stopped him.
Chai Yan said with a serious expression: "General Pang, in those ten days of offensive and defensive battles, how much damage did we suffer, and how much damage did the enemy suffer?"
Pang Zhenbei suppressed the fire and said: "We have one hundred dead and three hundred injured. As for those bastards in the Pitz country, it is estimated that the dead should be more than a thousand and the injured are at least two thousand."
"Second Prince, your record is very impressive! A hundred of them were exchanged for a thousand of them, ten times the number, it's a very good deal!" Jimo Qiao suddenly praised.
Ahhudala couldn't be optimistic, and couldn't help but shake his head and said: "Miss Mo Yu, if you compare it like this, we did win a great victory, but there is another problem. It is extremely difficult to recruit new soldiers now. If the Pitz Country
If we continue to attack and consume our troops, the two thousand troops will soon be exhausted, and then we will have no troops to use, and we will be in a dangerous situation that we cannot defend."
Jimo Qiao immediately said confidently and loudly: "You don't have to worry now. With my senior brother's martial arts sacred water here, the casualties will be minimized soon."
Ahudala nodded and said, "Miss Mo Yu is right, I think so too."
When Jimo Qiao saw Pang Zhenbei lowering his head and saying nothing, he walked over and asked, "Hey, manhole scrubber, look at you, you don't seem to believe me."
Pang Zhenbei took a peek at Ahudala and saw that he was looking at him, so he had to swallow his anger and said: "I didn't."
"Then why are you putting on such a stinky face?" Jimo Qiao challenged: "Could it be that you are still unconvinced by your loss to my senior brother yesterday?"
Pang Zhenbei frowned and turned away, not wanting to talk to her anymore.
Jimo Qiao was a little angry, so he reluctantly walked away from his face and continued to ask questions.
Chai Yan ignored Jimo Qiao and Pang Zhenbei and asked Ahudala: "Second Prince, when do you think the Piz people will attack next?"
Ahhudala thought for a while and said: "It could take a few days at the earliest, and it should not exceed half a month at the slowest."
"Oh?" Chai Yan responded.
Ahudala said: "There is a report from a spy. Hengsal and the others have returned to the country of Piz. Counting the days, it should be very soon."
"Heng Sar... If you say that, we have to meet him again? Haha..."
Chai Yan raised the corner of his mouth and revealed a sneer.
Ahudala also clenched his fists and said bitterly: "Wait, I will make them pay the price!"
After a short rest, everyone got back on their horses and continued galloping north.
Half an hour later, everyone passed through a forest, and a mountain range appeared in front of them.
From a distance, there is an obvious gap in the middle of the mountain range, as if someone had split it with a giant axe.
Chai Yan knew at a glance that the location of the gap was the natural Qingyuan Pass.
Sure enough, I heard Ahudala shouting loudly while riding: "Taoist priest, this is the Amohahar Mountain, which means the green mountain, and the gap in the middle is the Qingyuan Pass."
Chai Yan looked in the direction of Qingyuan Pass and nodded, and continued to concentrate on galloping.
After walking for a while, we could see the tents of the military camp in front of us.
Jimo Qiao immediately became excited, pointed at the tent and said: "Look, we are here!"
Ahudala also saw the tent and said: "Taoist Master, the Moon God Camp is ahead."
As soon as he finished speaking, seven or eight soldiers flashed out from both sides of the road ahead. These men were all wearing leather armor and holding long guns. They blocked the road with broken logs without even taking a breath.
Chai Yan, Ahudala and others immediately reined in their horses and stopped.
A soldier with a long gun shouted: "Who is coming? Tell me your name!"
Without Ahudala saying anything, Pang Zhenbei jumped off his horse and walked over at a fast pace.
"Is it General Pang?" "General Pang?"
All the soldiers knew Pang Zhenbei's face.
Pang Zhenbei approached and then stopped. He waved his hand and said behind him: "His Royal Highness the Second Prince is here. Why don't you hurry up and notify General Fan to come out of camp to greet you?"
The soldiers were all shocked when they heard this, but soon some of them ran towards the military camp.
