As soon as the sky turned white, I saw Chen Zhang walking quickly to Guan Jiyu and others. He didn't even have time to change his clothes. The dirt and blood on his clothes were condensed on his body, which was the same as when he first saw him last night.
The meticulousness formed a sharp contrast.
Chen Zhang quickly scanned the eight young people who had been waiting all night and said: "The incident happened suddenly. After a fierce battle last night, the Guyi Army was only temporarily suppressed. Now I need to pick out a few people to follow me.
Go to Hanshaqu, and the rest will follow General Xiang to Zeyunguan. Among you, who is willing to follow me to Hanshaqu?"
In fact, when Chen Zhang raised this question, almost everyone was somewhat hesitant.
Who doesn't want to be able to follow General Xiang when he first comes here and go into battle? What a great opportunity to perform. If he performs well on the battlefield, the general will be able to see it.
There was hope in Chen Zhang's eyes, and he also knew that the trip to Hansha Canal was not a bad job. Although the environment at the northern border was harsh and desolate, Zaiyunguan was a major pass after all, and was guarded by heavy troops all year round. As the saying goes, someone's
The place is popular, so it’s not much different. Hanshaqu is different. This place has always been an uncultivated and desolate land between the Guyi Kingdom in the north and the Hechiliu Kingdom in the west. This desolate land stretches as far as the eye can see and is inaccessible.
The Guyi Army was actually able to "creately" bypass the Hansha Canal...
Guan Jiyu also turned around and looked at the people around him. Yu Shan, who was shouting and shouting to charge into the battle last night, his eyes were evasive at the moment, and he did not see the enthusiasm of last night. The other Qi Yu from Beiqi Camp and Tianyu Camp
Feng Tian no longer said anything.
Among the people in Qingzi camp, Jiang Yingnian and Jingcun didn't make any attitude, while Zheshu looked directly at her face, waiting for her to make up her mind.
He Lanlan looked at Chen Zhang frankly, with an indifferent expression. His attitude was probably: I will not take the initiative to ask for a job, but if you name me, I will not refuse.
Guan Jiyu had an idea, so he stood up and said firmly: "General Chen, if you don't mind, I am willing to follow the general to Hanshaqu!"
Seeing that she had recommended herself, Zhe Shu quickly stood up and said, "If Ayu goes, then I will go too!"
Jingcun also means the same thing: "People who know each other well can take care of each other no matter what."
Jiang Yingnian looked thoughtful just now, but now he stood up resolutely and said loudly: "Count me in."
Zhe Shu didn't expect that his young master would choose to go to Hanshaqu. He couldn't help but said in surprise: "Third Young Master?"
Jiang Yingnian didn't look at him, but still looked determined.
Chen Zhang's face was full of relief and he said: "Okay! It's just you guys. Get ready and follow me to set off in half an hour!"
After Chen Zhang left, Guan Jiyu hesitated for a moment and whispered to Jiang Yingnian: "You should go to Zeyunguan. The conditions in Zeyunguan are better than Hanshaqu. You are so pampered. Go to Hansha."
How can he bear the environment there?"
Jiang Yingnian moved closer to her and whispered in her ear: "I told you, my eyes will always be on you. Don't think I can't see that you are going to Hansha Channel on purpose.
You thought I would definitely go to Zeyunguan, right?"
He chuckled lightly and brushed her ears with his breath. Guan Jiyu frowned and couldn't help but lean away. He ignored her resistance and continued slowly: "You can't even think of escaping from my sight. Even if you have to,
To avenge eldest brother, every Guyijun you killed can only be done under my nose. Guan Jiyu, you said you are loyal to eldest brother, then your loyalty must be seen with my own eyes, right?"
"Ignorant!" Guan Jiyu glared at him and cursed in a low voice, then ignored him and left to pack his equipment.
When Chen Zhang led the soldiers to the entrance of Hansha Canal, the people standing at the front could no longer stand the huge wind force coming out of the vent.
"It's really a demonic wind! Ahem!" Zheshu covered his mouth and nose with a square towel and frowned: "This place is really not for humans. The wind blowing out is full of coarse sand. Breathing it in can kill people."
ah!"
Chen Zhang had already been to Hanshaqu, and compared to them who had just arrived, he seemed calmer. "Yes, I guess the Guyi army also grasped this terrain feature, and then they dared to boldly adopt this strategy to disperse our army.
attention."
Guyi Kingdom is located in the vast Liaoyuan Plain in the north. In addition, the people in Guyi Kingdom are good at nomadic horseback riding and have an inherent advantage in physical strength. They expected that the army of Xuli Dynasty would not attack Hansha.
It was regarded as a key point of defense, so he boldly opened up a new path, sneaked around all the way and raided the back of Xiang Ju'an's team at night.
Although this move is dangerous, the chance of winning is extremely high.
Chen Zhang took out two maps and said: "After discussing with the general last night, we set up two points in Hanshaqu. Come and see -"
Guan Jiyu and Jiang Yingnian hurriedly stepped forward and looked carefully at where Chen Zhang was pointing. Judging from the simple scrawling of the map, it can be seen that the map of this part of Hanshaqu must have been rushed out at night. Even if it was Chen Zhang himself
I have led troops here, but I have not been able to accurately describe the complete appearance of Hansha Canal.
Chen Zhangdao: "From our current position, that is, shortly after entering the Hansha Canal entrance, there will be two bifurcating paths. It is not yet sure which one will be the path where the Guyi Army comes, so we will divide it into two teams for the time being.
Set up an ambush."
"Jiang Yingnian, Guan Jiyu listens to the order!" Chen Zhang took out one of the maps and handed it to Jiang Yingnian. Perhaps the order came suddenly, Jiang Yingnian was startled, and then he quickly took the map and said: "In
!”
"I have ordered you and Guan Jiyu to be the vanguard of the second team of the Hansha Service. I will allocate a thousand of you to enter from the east trail of Hansha Canal to carry out reinforcements."
After hearing the order, Guan Jiyu stepped forward and received the order together with Jiang Yingnian: "I accept the order!"
Jiang Yingnian pulled the bow behind him over his shoulder, and was about to start when he saw Chen Zhang pat his shoulder.
Chen Zhang still didn't have much confidence in his heart, so he could only tell the inexperienced young man in front of him: "Be careful in everything! Remember, you must follow the places marked on the map I gave you. Time is tight, so I can only
Make sure that the place is more secure and do not act without authorization. If there is an emergency, retreat to the exit."
"You two just need to try your best to guard the entrance to the east path, and don't go too far into the battle!" He gave the final warning uneasily.
"Don't worry, General Chen." Guan Jiyu said goodbye, full of confidence, and led the marching team into Hansha Canal with Jiang Yingnian.
Chen Zhang watched the team gradually disappear into the dust and sighed: "What a good young man. It's a pity that he was not born in a good era... It was so difficult during the march. I hope their trip goes well."
Jiang Yingnian and Guan Jiyu took the lead and entered the east trail for the first time. Because the wind in the dry sand channel was too strong, the blowing gravel hit their faces and they already felt a slight pain. Every step they took on the sand was painful.
It seemed extremely cumbersome, and after a short walk, the march quickly slowed down.
"Everyone, please hold on, we will soon reach the marked point." Guan Jiyu tore off a piece of cloth from his sleeve to use as a mask to cover his mouth and nose, and turned around to encourage the soldiers behind him.
Jiang Yingnian also had a serious expression on his face. No matter how much he usually loved to joke around, now he was walking hard in this deserted place. He just frowned and said solemnly: "Hurry up, the wind and sand are getting bigger and bigger."
, hurry up and catch up!”
It was another boring and endless walk. The soldiers behind had to carry weapons, dry food and other heavy objects, so their pace became even slower. Some people could not hold on and asked cautiously: "Jiang Xianfeng, Guan Xianfeng, it is already very difficult for our army to just walk."
Well, what should we do if we really encounter the Guyi Army?"
Jiang Yingnian said with a look of disdain: "What's there to be afraid of, just a lonely soldier? It's best if it falls into my hands, so that I can teach them what they can't eat and walk around with!"
Guan Jiyu saw that she was almost gone. She looked around, took out the map and compared it carefully and said: "This should be here. Everyone, put down the marching equipment in your hands and set up camp here!"
The spot Chen Zhang marked on the map was exactly where there was a large area of dead grass. There were desert dry grass on both sides of the road for about two miles, and the dead grass was as tall as a person, forming a perfect natural hiding place.
Guan Jiyu arranged for the soldiers to hide in place, and quickly walked to the front and hid in the withered grass. As soon as he lay down, he saw Jiang Yingnian lying down a few feet away from her.
She gave Jiang Yingnian a meaningful look, waved her hand aggressively at him, and signaled him: Look, I'm right under your nose now, you should feel relieved, right?
Jiang Yingnian said nothing and mouthed to her: "Don't try to play tricks."
Guan Jiyu shrugged and stopped looking at him.
The waiting time is always unbearable. Guan Jiyu's heart is full of tension, and the "dong-dong" sound of his heart beating seems to be in his ears. They don't know whether the Guyi Army will come through this road. If so,
When will you come?
Fortunately, after two sticks of incense, Guan Jiyu vaguely heard a strange sound coming from not far away. She immediately raised her hand and whispered: "Be alert! There are footsteps!"
After saying that, he immediately put his ear close to the ground, listened carefully for a while and confirmed: "The footsteps are sparse, so there shouldn't be many people."
Jiang Yingnian immediately issued an order: "Don't come out in a hurry, let them go first, we will sneak attack from behind them!"
The wind rustled the withered grass, and the sand and dust dispersed in the distance, and the Guyi army was slowly exposed to their sight.
"Sure enough, it's here!" Jiang Yingnian clenched the bow in his hand and said bitterly through gritted teeth.
The Guyi Army slowly advancing in front of them passed by this dry grassland very cautiously. They walked slowly while carefully observing the surroundings.
Guan Jiyu didn't dare to blink. She was sure that the group of Guyi troops that came over was only 300 people. After they all passed through this section of the road, she felt relieved and whispered to Jiang Yingnian beside her:
"I'll go through here and catch up with them. I'll take the lead. You're good at long-range attacks. Stay behind me and catch up."
After saying that, she picked up the red tassel gun and nimbly shuttled through the withered grass to the rear of the team, turning the tail of the team into the head of the team. Jiang Yingnian heard the shouts of fighting in the distance and determined that Guan Jiyu had caught up with them and started the battle.
He immediately jumped up and followed him.
As he sprinted, he pulled out an arrow from the quiver behind his back, nocked the bow, pulled the string, and released the arrow, all in one movement. Not long after it had calmed down, the sand was flying with dust due to the fierce battle, and he had not yet found Guan Jiyu's figure.
, almost everyone’s sight is in the blind spot very quickly, and they cannot see the environment in front and behind.
"No, Jiang Xianfeng!"
When Jiang Yingnian heard the wailing behind him, he couldn't help but widen his eyes and turned around suddenly.
There was so much yellow sand all around that he couldn't see anything clearly, but he heard the unexpected cry of pain: "Jiang Xianfeng, you have fallen into a trap, there are a large number of enemy troops behind you!"
