Invincible son

Chapter 298 297 [Deceased]

To the east of Tribulus Village and to the south of Jiming Village is Xishui Village, the southernmost of the nine military villages.

There are 500 troops stationed here, with all the weapons, food and grass, and the combat power of the soldiers is quite impressive.Now that the Western Wu army is invading, and the three military strongholds have fallen one after another, it is impossible for these soldiers who stick to the border to be uneasy.To Pei Yue's great surprise, the soldiers of Xishui Village were not affected too much, at least on the surface they were still practicing hard as usual.

Since gathering [-] defeated soldiers in the north of Daokouzhai on July [-], Pei Yue led his army to wander on the Gaoyang Plain, and Fu Hongzhi led elite rangers to kill the Western Wu scouts.After the fall of Wufeng Village and Tribulus Village, he continued to gather the remnants and defeated generals who escaped by chance, and then went south to Xishui Village.

After replenishing food and grass here, he prepared to lead the army northward.

Gu Chongshan, the garrison commander of Xishui Village, sent him outside the village. The unsmiling, middle-aged man in front of the soldiers sighed softly, "My lord, Commander Ning has sent an order to all the military villages to strictly guard their garrisons and not to leave them lightly. Please forgive me." I will not be able to go north with you."

Pei Yue said gently: "It's okay, keeping the line of defense is the most important duty right now."

Chen Xianda on the side couldn't help spitting: "Ning Zhong is afraid of death! The [-] troops dare not leave the Guping camp and let the people of West Wu attack the city and pull out the camp. How can there be such a war? He still has the face to take over With the title of Marquis of Wuwei, if I had changed it, I would have killed myself with a piece of tofu!"

If it was the past, Pei Yue would definitely reprimand him a few words, but at this moment, he didn't seem to hear him, and only said to Gu Chongshan: "Xiwu will definitely attack Jiming Village first. Right now there is no support from Hucheng and Guping camp. I'm worried that I won't be able to hold it there."

Gu Chongshan stared and said: "Jiming Village is covered by terrain, and Xiwu has no way to overpower it with an army. As long as there are no internal problems, it will be difficult for them to attack."

Pei Yue's expression was complicated. At this moment, he thought of the past. Although he met many people after coming to this world, he only had a few close friends. This is why he was determined to support Jiming Village.

He nodded and said, "I believe that the master of Jiming Village will not make mistakes."

Gu Chongshan heard some ambiguous sounds, and said in surprise: "Your Excellency knows that Commander Qin?"

Pei Yue smiled slightly and said, "That's my elder brother."

Gu Chongshan was startled when he heard the words, and then he said firmly: "There are five hundred cavalry in Xishui village, please take them away with you, sir!"

It's easy to talk to smart people, Pei Yue came to Xishui village for the five hundred cavalry in Gu Chongshan's hands.After collecting the defeated soldiers from Sanzhai, he already had [-] cavalry in his hands. Although his strength was still small, he at least had the strength to fight against the Western Wu Qingqi.If he could take away the five hundred elite soldiers from Xishui Village, he would be more confident in helping Jiming Village.

Seeing that he did not speak, Gu Chongshan said sincerely: "It is inconvenient for the general to comment on Marshal Ning, but Jiming Village is the core of Jiuzhaigou. Even if the third village in the west falls, as long as Jiming Village can be preserved, the people of West Wu will not be able to threaten you." Dongqing Mansion. My lord, if the war can reach a stalemate in Jiming Village, then the defenders of Hucheng will have greater strategic leeway. As long as they can survive the most difficult stage in the early stage, the imperial court can send reinforcements or deploy the other three The strength of the battalion."

Not only Pei Yue, but also Wei Rui and others looked at this unremarkable army commander in surprise.

They have been galloping on the vast Gaoyang Plain these days, have first-hand military information, and are very clear about the overall situation of both sides, so they can judge the direction of the war and the key nodes.Unexpectedly, Gu Chongshan would be able to come up with the same answer based on his own guess and knowledge of the western region while staying in the West Water Village.

Gu Chongshan continued: "Before the end, I was not sure about the Lord's intentions, whether he wanted to gain some credit on the battlefield or sincerely help Jiming Village, so he dared not entrust the five hundred cavalry, because they were the only ones in Xishui Village. Now that the Sir is going to support his elder brother, he will no longer dare to doubt. The two thousand infantry must stay in Xishui village. Zhang Qingbai is very good at observing the battlefield situation, so he can't show such flaws in front of him. My lord, please forgive me."

These words were sincere and frank, well-founded, Pei Yue said seriously: "What is the crime of General Gu? Please rest assured, I will definitely keep Jiming Village."

Gu Chongshan got off his horse and knelt down on one knee, and said in a deep voice: "It's not too late, please start your journey, and at the end I wish you success!"

"According to your auspicious words, this battle must be won."

This is the first time Pei Yue made such a promise in front of others.

He turned his horse's head and led two thousand cavalry, a mixture of elite and defeated troops, resolutely headed north.

……

Jiming Village.

The stronghold was built on the mountain, with the endlessly surging Xionghe River flowing from the north, the only places suitable for attacking were the east and west sides.Among them, the eastern terrain is blocked by Jiming Mountain, so the space is very narrow, and it is impossible to spread out a suitable attack fan.

On the tall and strong city wall in the west, the soldiers guarding the village are standing by to guard against the Western Wu army that may appear at any time.

A short and stocky general stood behind the wall. Compared with the burly young man next to him, his aura was not majestic, but since he came to Jiming Village, everyone from top to bottom obeyed willingly. his command.

His name is Qin Xian, the eldest son of Qinhuai in the Marquis of Pingyang, and he was born in the West Camp of the Beijing Army.After the battle against bandits in Hengduan Mountain, his contribution was second only to Pei Yue and Li Jin. Although he was not knighted, he was promoted two ranks in a row, from an ordinary sentinel to an army commander.

The burly young man beside him is Xue Meng, who is still serving as Qin Xian's deputy.

It has been nearly two years since Kyoto left the garden.

Li Jin led the Yanshan Guard to the southern border and continued to lead troops under Gu Liang, but Qin Xian and Xue Meng were sent to the western border by a single order from the Xifu, and they stayed in Jiming Village for two years.

Xue Meng turned his head to look at Qin Xian who was staring at the west, and said in a soft voice: "Brother, seventeen spies from Western Wu have been found in the village, do you want to continue the investigation?"

Qin Xian shook his head and said: "Stop it, we have been investigating for two years but with little success. If it weren't for the fact that the Western Wu army violated the border and we deliberately relaxed the supervision, I am afraid it would be difficult to find out even these people. Now that the war is imminent, The situation is gradually becoming clear, no matter what, it will be a tough battle, and a few spies can't affect the overall situation."

Xue Meng looked left and right, and cursed in a low voice: "Ning Zhong, a son of a bitch, is afraid of death and doesn't even say it, and even refuses to give more reinforcements. He sent 500 people and said that they were squeezed out from the guard camp. , I fuck my mother!"

Qin Xian said disapprovingly: "3000 people are enough to defend the Jiming Village. The key to this battle is not inside the city. If no one is outside to put pressure on the West Wu people, even if the village is full of soldiers, it will not last long."

Xue Meng sighed: "I heard that Brother Yue is also in Lingzhou, I don't know if I have the life to see him again."

Qin Xian's eyes darkened slightly, then he patted him on the shoulder and said, "You're lucky, you won't die."

Xue Meng scratched his head and laughed a few times.

The summer wind blows from the north, bringing a sense of restlessness under the scorching sun.

Some black dots appeared in Qin Xian's line of sight, and then more and more black dots appeared, as if monstrous waves emerged from the western sky, rushing all the way.

The sharp sound of the trumpet sounded from the top of the city, and the defenders immediately cheered up to 12.

The resolute expressions on those young faces made many people involuntarily look at Qin Xian, the young general who came from the capital, the young general who has won the hearts of the people for the past two years.

The most tragic cock crowing battle on the Gaoyang Plain in the fifth year of Kaiping slowly kicked off.

　I came back late today, there are only two more, sorry, I promise three more tomorrow.
