Chapter 334: Shock
(I was busy all day, but when I was about to get off work, I had a big quarrel with my colleagues over an official matter. I was unhappy and couldn’t write it, only one chapter.)
The beast-like roar coming from the main hall silenced everyone outside, and the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground and the crisp sound of porcelain breaking could be heard from time to time in the house.
The imperial troops climbed over the Motian Ridge to surprise Jiangyou Pass and conquered Mianzhu City without a single blow. The news that the army was marching towards Chengdu shocked everyone in Chengdu.
The day before, I was saying that Shuzhong could rest easy and the enemy could not advance even an inch at Jianmen Pass. However, today the enemy was already close at hand.
When Feng Bao was having breakfast at home, he heard the news, dropped his bowl and ran to the palace.
As the long history of the palace, Feng Bao was also the first staff member of King Ji.
"Your Majesty, Motian Ridge is naturally dangerous. Even if an army can climb over, the number must be limited. It is just a surprise. The so-called tens of thousands of soldiers and horses now, at best, are just to tie up the local people. That’s all!”
Stepping into the hall, Feng Bao calmed down the rampaging King Li Shen with just one word.
Li Shen, who was too fat, sat down with a bang like a mountain of meat. The period of exercise just now has far exceeded the limit that his physical strength can support. At this moment, sweat Flow down like a waterfall.
Of course, some of it is also due to fear in my heart.
"Chang Shi, what should I do now?" He raised his head and asked.
“The first priority is to mobilize all the soldiers and horses in Chengdu Fucheng to prepare for defense!” Feng Baodao.
“But all the elites in the city have followed the prince to Jianmen Pass!”
Feng Baoyi smiled and said: “Your Majesty, there are three thousand elites in the palace, how much did you give to the prince?”
"Two thousand!"
"That's it. Others, of course, have their backs up, but at this moment, they would be stupid if they didn't take out all the trump cards in their hands. ! I think these people also understand this. So, Your Majesty, if we can gather at least five thousand elites in the city, it will not be difficult to defend the city!" Feng Bao encouraged Li Shen.
“What’s the second step?”
“Of course it’s to order the Crown Prince to return to the army!” Feng Baodao said: “As long as Fucheng holds on and waits until the Crown Prince returns to the army, then what’s the point of attacking from inside and outside to defeat these mobs? ! Calculating the schedule, as long as the prince is fast enough, the prince should be back by the time the enemy arrives in Chengdu."
"I heard that there are innate masters in the opponent's army, and on our side, Tang Yinyu knows it. But there was no trace." Li Shen clenched his fists, with fear in his eyes.
If the enemy has something like an innate master but you don't have it, it's really an unsolvable matter.
"Your Majesty, among the thousands of troops and horses, it is not impossible to deal with one innate master. The Xuanyuan masters from all the houses in the city can also fight if they gather together!" Feng Bao gritted his teeth and said: "Again, The reporter said that now that the news that the enemy has entered Shu has been transmitted, the ancestors of the Tang family and Taoist priest will naturally come back."
"This is the only way, go quickly. Do it, do it immediately!" Li Shen turned back and found a seal from the big case: "This is the seal of the governor of Shu County. Take it, I grant you full authority to take charge of the defense of the city, but there is no evasion. Delaying, constraining, and even colluding with foreign enemies, killing Wu He!"
Holding the seal with both hands, Feng Bao bowed and said: "I obey!"
The crown prince Li Huimin was riding on the horse, looking in front of him. The mighty army advancing towards Jianmen Pass was filled with heroic feelings. When he entered Shu, he was still an infant.
At that time, my father was so anxious that he dragged his family out of Chang'an and entered Sichuan.
Now, he will lead the army back to Chang'an.
That is his home.
Jianmenguan has an army of 20,000, and he leads an army of 30,000, and 50,000 troops go out of Shu to defeat the rebels, punish disobedients, and restore the glory of the Li family.
Ling Huye, a humble man from the border area, actually peeked at the artifact, thinking it was extremely ridiculous.
Li Huimin firmly believed that as long as he appeared under Chang'an City with an army of 50,000, those wavering small and medium-sized forces would definitely make the right choice between Linghuye and himself.
The forwards have disappeared, but the rear camp is still packing up their tents. The team stretching for dozens of miles is like a long dragon walking on the winding road.
This feeling of pride only lasted for half a day.
The messenger from Chengdu ran wildly for several days, exhausted several good horses, and finally caught up with Li Huimin's team.
Brought news that everyone could not believe.
The empty Chengdu encountered unprecedented dangers.
There is nothing to hesitate, of course we must return to the division for rescue.
Chengdu Fucheng is their home base. If their home base is destroyed by the enemy, what is the point of competing for world supremacy?
What's more, all the generals in this team are basically descendants of wealthy families in Sichuan. In this attack, each family basically took away their own elites. If the enemy really captures the city, the people Everyone will be annihilated. However, it is not easy for tens of thousands of advancing troops to turn around.
This is not something that can be accomplished with just one sentence in a play: the back team becomes the front team, and the front team becomes the back team.
"Your Majesty, it is impossible for the 30,000 troops to return quickly!" Tang Jingfeng said: "What's more, there are more than 20,000 people here, but the young and strong people have just been recruited. We are now far away from Chengdu. It’s been five hundred miles, and it will take at least a month to bring so many people back to Chengdu with combat capability.”
“What do you mean?”
“Gathering the elite. The strength has returned, and the rest are returning slowly from the rear!" Tang Jingfeng said: "The Qinghua of this army are the eight thousand elite private soldiers of the major families, and they are also the backbone of the real battle. As long as the prince takes these people with him! Returning to Chengdu and cooperating with the defenders in the city will be enough to defeat the invading enemy. Didn't the messenger also say that there are not many elite invading enemies, but more incited common people? "
< br>After thinking for a moment, Li Huimin finally nodded: "I will take these eight thousand people back, and you can control the remaining people to return slowly. The most important thing is not to lose control. As long as you go back in an organized manner, you will Can threaten the enemy ”
"Of course!" Tang Jingfeng nodded.
They said they were going to return immediately, but it took a full day to prepare just to regroup the eight thousand elites, collect horses and livestock, and bring enough dry food for their return.
Five hundred miles, for an army of tens of thousands, would take more than a month to march, and for this elite private army of 8,000 people, it would take at least seven or eight days.
With a marching speed of almost a hundred miles per day, it can be called a very powerful army.
On the top of the mountains, two old Taoists with gray hair in Taoist robes each stood on the top of a tall pine tree, looking at each other like fighting cocks. Looking at the appearance of the two of them, they were both extremely embarrassed.
Yi Ming's Taoist crown was nowhere to be found. His white hair was hanging down, and one eye was blue and purple, as if he had been punched head-on.
The one standing opposite him was not much better. Half of the clothes on his body were torn off, half of his arms were bare, and there was a blood mark on his left cheek, as if he had been scratched by a cat. .
The two looked at each other for a moment, then turned their heads and looked down the mountain, where a long team was running as fast as a spark, but the direction was towards Chengdu Fucheng.
Seeing the flag of that army, Miao Ming was a little confused.
“Senior Brother Mingran, let’s take a rest!” Yi Ming slipped down the big tree and sat down on the ground. Opposite him, Mingran also got off the big tree, sat cross-legged, and looked at him warily. Looking at Yi Ming opposite.
When it comes to deep skills, Ming Ming is naturally superior, but when it comes to cunning tactics and rich fighting experience, Yi Ming is even better.
Yiming took out a pill and threw it into his mouth, chewing it.
"With the help of external objects, you will eventually fall behind. Yi Ming, you will never think about wandering in this life!" Ming Ran picked up a pine nut from the ground and slowly opened it. Peel out the pine nuts and chew them slowly.
"You sound like you can travel in a fugue!" Yi Ming rolled his eyes, "At least I can suppress you after taking the medicine."
"You guys are here I dare not bother to care about the turmoil outside, but if you want to continue the war in Shu, I can't agree!" Ming Ran said angrily.
Yi Ming rolled his eyes again: "It sounds like you are worried about the country and the people. I think the people in Shu are not living much better than outside. Does that guy Li Shen really just want to protect the country and the people? Haha, You know Niubi, do you believe it?"
"Yi Ming, you can't break the sword gate!"
"Hehe!" Yi Ming smiled proudly, Pointing to the bottom of the mountain: "Did you see it? Li Huimin is running back in a hurry. What do you think it is for?"
He shook his head in understanding.
“Because our people are about to reach Chengdu!” Yi Ming laughed: “The army outside Jianmen Pass is just a cover, the real elites are crossing the Motian Ridge from the Yinping Trail, haha , Judging from Li Huimin’s panic, our strategy must have been successful.”
The color suddenly changed.
"Knowing Niubi, let me tell you a little secret. In that army, we also have an innate master!" After taking the medicine, Yi Ming also picked up a pine nut, peeled off the pine kernel, and went to Throwing it into the sky, he opened his mouth to catch it, and chewed it deliciously.
“When did Xiantian become a bad person?” Miao Ran sneered.
"Why did I lie to you?" Yi Ming chewed pine nuts and said, "Because I have met that guy, and he even recruited me! He wants me to work for him!"
< br>"Recruiting you?" Ming Ran was a little confused, "Aren't you all working for the Wei family?"
"Bah!" Yi Ming spat: "I'm not working for the Wei family, but didn't the Wei family get the short end of it this time? Li Anmin, that short-lived ghost, really died indirectly in my hands. Wei You want me to help you, but I can't help it. I'm not alone. There are so many disciples and disciples behind me who want to eat with you. Isn't it the same? Apart from you, how many of those little bastards in the Longmen sect are successful? Hey, I'm no better than a chicken now. That guy made a condition to let me do things for him, and he will protect me. The safety of my disciples and grandchildren.”
“Who is that person?” Ming Ran asked in shock, looking at Yi Ming’s face.
