Earthfire Mingyi Chapter 5 Falling short of success 3
[69 Book Bar-www.] Chudu City is too small, and the Arrow Tower can only stay two or three people. There is really a war. Archers can't play much role on it, so in fact they only play the role of looking.
The voice of the sentry, Shang Mingfeng raised his head and whispered: "Who is it?"
"I can't see clearly, it seems that there are many people, and there are always five or six hundred."
Although the telescope can see far, it is not clear, not to mention that it is not dawn yet. Chen Zhong frowned and shouted, "Don't panic, keep your guard up."
There were only more than 200 soldiers in the city, and the rest were all old and weak. The Wude Camp, named Chu State, is now implementing a system of soldiers for all people. All men over fifteen years old must join the army, and among the more than 200 people left behind,
Most of them were young soldiers of fourteen or fifteen years old. These young soldiers were still snuggled up to their mothers two years ago and had never passed through the battle formation. I heard that someone came and I was a little panicked for a while.
After loyal words, they calmed down and thought, "What are you afraid of? Old General Chen is here too."
Chen Zhong is now mainly teaching young soldiers' swordsmanship and riding skills. From what these young people see and hear, General Chen's courage is unparalleled in the world. With him here to take charge, there is really no need to be afraid of anything.
Shang Mingfeng had already looked in front of the telescope and said, "General Chen, there are many people. It seems that some people in front are running away, and many people are chasing behind."
It was Xue Tingxuan who failed and was going to escape back? Chen Zhong felt a sank and said, "Who are those people in front?"
"I can't see it yet." Shang Mingfeng looked again and said, "Do you want to send someone out to check it out?"
Chen Zhong shook his head and said, "Don't go out for now."
This little force in the city can still withstand a while. If it is a field battle, it will really destroy the Wude Camp. Chen Zhong has no experience in military tactics, but he has fought too much, which is clear. Shang Mingfeng hesitated
He took a moment and said, "General Chen, the military strategy is full of things, but he has not yet been able to defeat him. If the enemy comes, we can wait for it to work hard and defeat it in one fell swoop. If they can establish a foothold and then attack the city, it will be troublesome."
Chen Zhong smiled bitterly and said, "Mingfeng, if even Xue Shuai has been defeated, do you think he can beat those people?"
Although Shang Mingfeng was still a little dissatisfied, he stopped talking. At this time, the group of people was getting closer and closer, and it was obvious that they were walking in a hurry. At this moment, the soldier on the arrow tower exclaimed: "It's not us."
The person!”
It's the Republican Army!
Everyone in the city, including Chen Zhong, was surprised. Xue Tingxuan's surprise attack was very sure, and they all felt that it would be successful. Unexpectedly, the Republican Army would arrive at the city so soon. Chen Zhong grabbed his big sword,
He shouted: "Take an arrow!"
At this time, the soldier on the arrow tower suddenly shouted again: "Wait, they are fighting the white flag!"
The white flag was the flag that was rushed when begging for peace. Hearing that this man actually fought the white flag, Chen Zhong was stunned again and murmured: "What are these people going to do?"
If the Republican Army was defeated and wanted to surrender, then it should surrender to Xue Tingxuan on the front line, and he would not rush to the capital of Chu to surrender. Shang Mingfeng was also puzzled, not knowing what these people were going to do.
The people stopped at a distance of only thirty or forty steps away from the city. Shang Mingfeng shouted loudly: "Stop, who are you?"
In the last night before dawn, a man holding a white flag rushed forward and said with a neighing voice: "We are under General Ganlong, the Fire Army. Because we are going to turn against each other, Bi Wei sent troops to hunt down and ask for Wude Camp.
Brothers aid.”
Shang Mingfeng sneered and snorted, "You are really lying to say this!" As soon as he finished speaking, a veteran next to him suddenly said in surprise: "It's Gan Long! General Chen, they are General Gan's subordinates!"
