Chapter 54 Gathering the Remnants
The rising sun rises in the east, the morning light breaks out, and it is more than 200 miles south of Mengcheng.
More than a hundred people were resting on the ground, taking a nap, and the war horses were eating grass on the side. Yang Fanhai was standing on a bale of land, looking out from afar, frowned.
The Changguo army has more than 30,000 people, and eating, drinking, defecation and urination must be a problem. He thought that even if there were no reinforcements, the other party would need logistics supplies. He could intercept the other party’s food and grass by sweeping in this area.
But after sweeping all night, he naturally felt something was wrong at this moment. But he couldn't say what was wrong. At this moment, he was hesitating whether to continue to carry out the mission here or to return to the camp to ask for instructions.
But no matter which decision it is, I am worried that it will be bad. I have been thinking about it for a long time, but I still don’t know how to make a decision.
While hesitating, he suddenly saw a large number of black shadows appearing on the horizon ahead, galloping towards him. After approaching slightly, he found that they were clearly figures. He immediately ordered: "Everyone got on the horse and prepared to fight."
For a moment, everyone woke up and turned on their horses. After a baptism of a life-and-death battle, these people had a further understanding of the so-called war. The so-called veterans, that is, the new soldiers like them, were slowly refined after being tempered by life-and-death flesh and blood, but failed to die.
Holding a black spear, Yang Fanhai was extremely nervous, not sure whether it was his own person or an enemy there.
After a while, after seeing the other party's flag clearly, my heart sank. It was clear that there were people from Changguo. Nearly a thousand people were chasing hundreds of people, and those hundreds seemed to be defeated. Looking closely, they were indeed armor from Jiguo.
Without thinking too much, Yang Fanhai pointed the black spear in his hand forward and shouted loudly: "Everyone, kill me!"
More than a hundred cavalrymen, seeing that the number of people on the other side was nearly 1,000, far exceeding their own side, were still a little stunned at the first time and did not dare to step forward. However, when Yang Fanhai had already rushed out, he no longer thought about it. He bit his teeth and followed him to kill him.
The soldiers of Changguo were puzzled by how the Ji cavalry appeared here, but when they saw that the other party had only a hundred people, they naturally didn't care about it. They screamed and prepared to deal with the ignorant people.
After the war, they found that they were wrong.
Yang Fanhai clamped his legs with his legs, and his black spear in his hand was like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter, pointing forward. Each shot was a killer move, either penetrating the heart or piercing the head.
These soldiers were unable to compete with them at all, and wherever they passed, there were corpses left.
I never thought that the young man in front of me was so good. The soldiers of Changguo immediately looked horrified and their morale fell. The hundred cavalry behind Yang Fanhai naturally had a huge morale and were no longer afraid.
As the wind swept through the fallen leaves, Yang Fanhai led the hundreds of cavalry behind him and killed many pursuers in an instant.
I never thought I would be saved here. Since some of the soldiers of Ji Kingdom who were chased fled wildly, the other part stopped and looked at Yang Fanhai, as if waiting for instructions.
"Get everyone together!"
Yang Fanhai ordered the cavalry under his command to act immediately, and he went to a deserter and asked in a deep voice: "What's going on? Why did you escape... to escape here?"
"Defeated, defeated!" The deserter immediately said in a crying voice: "We are defeated!"
Yang Fanhai grabbed his armor and asked loudly: "Tell me clearly what's going on!"
"Defeated, defeated!" But the soldier seemed to be scared at this moment and only knew how to repeat these two words.
In desperation, Yang Fanhai simply slapped the man in the face: "Tell me clearly, don't be like a stray dog."
The slap was extremely effective. The soldier suddenly came to his senses, looked at Yang Fanhai for a moment and said, "Mengcheng City Lord Chen Tao surrendered to the enemy, our army was ambushed..." He immediately told everything he knew.
The Chang Kingdom army attacked, with more than 30,000 people at all. They rushed to Mengcheng and surrounded them. In addition, the leader was Liu Wei, who was known as the decapitated sword, and he was famous for his reputation.
The lord of Mengcheng was timid and did not dare to deal with it. After a stalemate, he opened the city and surrendered for only a few hours. After taking over the city, Liu Wei stationed a 50,000 army in the city, and left another 30,000 troops outside the city to pretend to attack the city, attracting support.
Although he was cautious, he never thought that the enemy was in the city, but the Changguo army joined forces inside and outside to make dumplings.
The number varies greatly, and the quality of the soldiers is not as good as that of the other party. After a hard battle, the Ji army outside Mengcheng was defeated and fled in all directions.
"General, it's over, it's over!" The soldier cried loudly, in a daze, and actually called Yang Fanhai as the general: "I heard that they had to go to Dingcheng if they broke Mengcheng, but now they are afraid they are gone."
"Shut up!" Yang Fanhai roared him, and he was also restless and felt a little scared.
I was in this situation for the first time when I went to the battle, and I didn’t know how to describe it.
All kinds of thoughts flashed through his heart until someone asked him for advice: "Captain, everyone has gathered."
He came to his senses and looked around. There were four or five hundred soldiers who had broken up, but his condition was extremely poor. Only the hundred cavalry under his command were in good spirits.
What exactly did this war look like? Yang Fanhai felt like he was unruly. His personal strength was not bad, but he was a fledgling newcomer for the so-called war and had no idea how to control it.
All kinds of thoughts flashed through me, but I felt at a loss. After a long time, I finally made a decision: this is the case, and I can only do what I should do.
Yang Fanhai turned over and ordered loudly: "Everyone, come with me!"
Then he took these five or six hundred people towards Mengcheng.
As soon as he set out on the road, he encountered defeated soldiers and fled, and the Changguo people chased and killed each other. Every time Yang Fanhai naturally tried his best to save him. It was not because of the army that went to fight, but because of the scattered soldiers and bravery, he gave him the opportunity, and his personal courage and no one could stop him.
When they arrived in Mengcheng, thousands of soldiers pursuing Changguo had already killed, and the remaining troops gathered reached 5,000.
In front of Mengcheng, there were countless corpses and few flames. The burnt smell from burning the corpses spread all over the world.
Is this the smell of burnt human flesh... Yang Fanhai couldn't help but tremble. He had roasted many beasts' meat, but this was the first time he smelled the burnt human flesh, which made him feel inexplicably cold.
This is just a battle in Mengcheng. What is the killing of Langkou Mountain now? It seems that a sea of corpses and blood appeared in front of you, and the lonely ghosts roared bitterly everywhere.
Since joining the army, he thought he had made mental preparations, but now he realized that it was not. The cruelty of war was far beyond his imagination.
"What should I do now, General!" Yang Fanhai asked softly.
Behind him was a man in armor, a side general who was led by a beard. The army was defeated like a mountain, and no one could turn the tide. He was a side general and could only flee in panic. If he had not been rescued by Yang Fanhai, he would have died.
Although his position is much higher than Yang Fanhai, at this moment he also knew that the nearly 5,000 people behind him were simply reunited by Yang Fanhai's personal bravery. If he forced himself to lead the army, his morale would probably plummet, so he could only temporarily position himself as an adjutant.
The general said softly: "Send someone to Mengcheng first to see what's going on inside and take a break!"
Yang Fanhai nodded and did as he said. After sending someone to the city to check, he found that it had almost become an empty city.
"Empty city! Even the people are gone? Could it be that they were brought to Changguo?"
Such a result made the general stunned and unbelievable. Mengcheng was a auxiliary city after all, and it was a little far from the border. It would never be occupied by Changguo without breaking Dingcheng.
It is normal to give up the city after robbery, but even the people are robbed, which is a bit strange. The robbery is to come and go like the wind, leading the people to rush on the road, without any intention of seeking death.
"No!" Yang Fanhai shook his head and looked towards Dingcheng: "They will never leave here, they should have attacked Dingcheng."
He was not a stupid person at first, and he was also listening when Xu Fan discussed with Beard before. After thinking about it, there was only one reason.
"Expel the people to attack the city!" The general's face changed drastically: "This is too sinister."
Put the people in front of the army to attack the city. At that time, the defenders of Dingcheng will kill them, and they will not kill them. No matter what the result is, the people of Mengcheng will find it difficult to survive.
"War...is there any unspicable war?" Yang Fanhai whispered, and then raised his black spear: "Everyone obeys the order and go back to Dingcheng with me."
He clamped the war horse under his crotch and led the army towards Dingcheng.
Looking at the mess along the way, Yang Fanhai asked in a deep voice: "General, can you tell me about the enemy general?"
This trip to Dingcheng will definitely be a fierce battle, and he needs to know more.
"Liu Wei, the three evil spirits of Changguo, are known as Liu Wei, the three evil spirits of the Blade Thunder Leopard and the Blood Gun. They are all famous for killing and have the strength of the Foundation Establishment Period."
"The blood gun is the strongest, the violent slaughter is the most crazy, and the decapitated knife is the most vicious. He is a person who can do anything to win, especially when facing the Chief Cai Qi."
"Why?" Yang Fanhai was stunned, puzzled.
The general immediately explained: "The title of "blade knife is not only because he likes to chop people's heads, but also because he had a knife on his face and was almost cut off directly. The person who cut that knife was Tutor Cai Qi."
Then he sighed: "I don't know what the situation of the Chief Cai Qi is now. If it falls into Liu Wei's hands, I'm afraid it will be..."
The consequences are unimaginable and cannot be further explained.
Yang Fanhai felt even more nervous. As the general said, what a man who is famous for his viciousness and driving more than 100,000 people to Dingcheng is indeed scary.
But it has been like this and cannot be changed, so I can only face it.
As we walked along the way, we arrived about a hundred miles away from Dingcheng, we suddenly saw a group of people, about one thousand people, wearing military uniforms.
