Invincible son

Chapter 403 402 [Torrent] ([-])

"Boss, those grandsons are watching too closely, I'm afraid they won't be able to get out."

Liu Ben hid behind the bushes half a person's height, cursing in his mouth.

Pei Cheng carefully observed the Western Wu Rangers in the distance, and said calmly, "Withdraw."

A group of people hunched over and tiptoed away from the dense forest, and then returned to Dingjun Mountain along a narrow path.Hucheng is built on the mountain, with the Dingjun Mountain standing on the north side, and the other three sides are open and flat, so there is no need to worry about a surprise attack by the army.In a general-scale war, Hucheng can play a huge role, but this time the Western Wu and the whole country invaded eastward, and [-] elite cavalry with Anyang Dragon Riders as the core appeared on the south side of Hucheng, making the defenders in the city The army couldn't move.

The Western Wu army's intention for this move is obvious. They will not storm Hucheng for the time being, but they want to trap the strongest two guards cavalry and the remaining infantry in Daliang to death in this city.

There are a few trails to the north of Hucheng that can cross Dingjun Mountain, and Pei Cheng and others are currently taking one of them.

These trails cannot be passed by large armies, and it is quite laborious for horses to travel through, but as long as there is enough time to exit safely, [-] elite soldiers can still be sent to support the northern battlefield.However, Hucheng was built by Western Wu back then, and he knew the terrain like the back of his hand. Xie Lin had already thought about it before sending troops, and deliberately set aside [-] troops to be stationed in the north of Dingjun Mountain, so as not to give the Hucheng garrison a chance to come out.

Pei Cheng has been investigating here for several days, but he has never found the other party's slack moment. He knows that this matter is difficult, so he has to lead his subordinates to withdraw to Hucheng.Let Yin Dao and the others lead the soldiers back to the Jingyu camp, and Pei Cheng went straight to Jieshuai's mansion by himself.

Since the outbreak of the war, Hucheng has entered into a tense atmosphere, and the Jieshuai Mansion is no longer as leisurely as it used to be. Busyness and complexity have become the daily theme.Pei Cheng came to the back hall, and after being informed by his own soldiers, he entered and saluted: "See Marshal Jie."

Xiangcheng Hou Xiaojin was reviewing a piece of information before the case, when he heard this, he waved his hand and said, "No."

Pei Cheng took two steps forward and said: "Jie Shuai, there is no way to go to the north, if you forcefully break through the pass, you may suffer heavy losses."

Xiao Jin said indifferently: "As expected, it seems that the people in the Metropolitan Academy of Western Wu finally changed their minds. More than ten years ago, they only wanted to take down Tiger City, so as to ensure the overall advantage over Daliang. Now They knew that storming Hucheng was an impossible task, so they aimed to contain Hucheng and put the main force on the north and south lines. As long as they can occupy the Longbow camp and defeat the Guping camp, Hucheng will naturally become a turtle in an urn. Under such circumstances, the Emperor of Western Wu is even willing to take out the Anyang Dragon Knight, so how could he leave us an empty door."

Pei Cheng remained silent. Just half a month ago, he and his siblings from Jingyuying went out of the city to fight with the scouts of Western Wu. A large army arrived near Hucheng, and the northern and southern fronts launched an offensive at the same time.Xiao Jin was hesitant to join forces with Cheng An Hou Lu Min to attack Zhang Qingbai, so naturally all his subordinates were recalled to the city to wait for further changes in the situation.

Xiao Jin glanced at Pei Cheng, and asked unhurriedly, "Are you disappointed?"

Pei Cheng came to his senses, quickly shook his head and said, "The last general dare not."

Xiao Jin didn't blame him, and said gently: "When I was your age, I was more radical than you. I wish I could fight every day, so that I can win military merits and win glory for the family. You are different from me. The burden on your shoulders What's more, I'm afraid it's hard to fall asleep every night. Peicheng, I think you should have the right to know something. Your concubine brother led the Zangfeng Guards to the northern line to support the Longbow camp. A few days ago, they defeated The three Wu armies have won more than ten thousand, if he can survive this battle, the title may surpass you."

Pei Cheng recalled that when he was still in the capital, he was the heir to the Dingguo Mansion, and Pei Yue was just a precarious bastard, the difference in status was like clouds and mud.Three short years later, he was still just a guerrilla in the Jingyu Camp, leading five hundred elite soldiers, but Pei Yue was already the commander of the Tibetan front guard, in charge of the fate of tens of thousands of cavalry, and became a hot newcomer in the army. Such changes can be called vicissitudes.

Logically speaking, Pei Cheng should be jealous of this concubine brother, coupled with the grievances between Pei Yue and Pei Rong, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are enemies.However, after Xiao Jin observed carefully, he still couldn't find any negative emotions on the young man's face. He only heard him say calmly: "Jie Shuai, everyone has their own destiny, and you can't envy this kind of thing."

"Oh?" Xiao Jin responded curiously.

Pei Cheng raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes were piercing, and he said firmly: "Pei Yue's current achievements are indeed amazing opportunities, but it is his ability to seize these opportunities, so I don't understand why there is a need Jealousy. I don’t think I’m worse than him, I’ve learned a lot from Jieshuai in the past two years, and there will always be opportunities for me to make contributions in the future.”

Xiao Jin smiled lightly, nodded with satisfaction and said, "I know you're not that kind of fool."

He paused, then continued: "We can't intervene in the battle on the northern front, we can only rely on Marquis Jining to make his own decisions, the worst result is to lose eleven military strongholds, but I believe he can hold the Longbow Camp. The most important thing right now is the situation in the south, Marquis Cheng An is leading the army to approach Lulongzhai, a battle with Zhang Qingbai is inevitable."

Pei Cheng faintly heard the meaning behind his words, and his heart beat violently involuntarily.

Xiao Jin said slowly: "Before the Southern Front War comes, I will confront the Western Wu cavalry outside the city of Chen Bing, and at the same time send [-] fine cavalry to the south gate to help Lulongzhai. The Wu army scouts will definitely not turn a blind eye, so this trip is extremely Dangerous. Pei Cheng, do you have the guts to be the vanguard general of this cavalry?"

Pei Cheng felt the blood rushing up all over his body, without thinking about it, he knelt down on one knee and cupped his fists and said, "The last general will not disgrace his life!"

Xiao Jin looked at him fixedly, and said softly: "You don't have to rush to agree, let me tell you the truth, the fate of these 8000 people is close to death. Even if they can reach Lulongzhai smoothly, they will definitely be sent by Lu Min to fight against the most elite fighters in Zhang Qingbai's hands. Cavalry. Your grandfather made great contributions to Daliang, especially the people in the western region, and your father is in such a situation. If you die in Lulongzhai, it will be difficult for Dingguo Mansion to regain its glory in the future. Stay in the city and follow me Defending the city is also a merit, you have to think about it carefully."

Pei Cheng only hesitated for a few moments, and then said decisively: "Jie Shuai, since I chose to join the army, I have more than just fame and wealth in my eyes. When the country is in danger, others can die generously, why can't I?" Jie Shuai mentioned Pei Yue, since he came to Lingzhou, he has experienced countless times of crisis, since he can see death as home, at least I will not lose to him in courage!"

Xiao Jin was silent for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face, he nodded and said: "May you win the flag, and I will personally play your majesty to ask for credit for you."
