Chapter 784: Sunrise in the East (9)

The monotonous banging sound echoed in the military camp. Except for the troops on duty, the Jiepukou military camp had fallen into silence. In the huge military camp, only a few lamps on the watchtower were left, emitting a faint glow. The brilliance stretches the shadow of the sentry standing with a gun on the watchtower long and casts it to the ground. Every quarter of an hour, a patrol will pass under several watchtowers. Only for this time, the lonely sentry on the watchtower Only then can he loudly make some non-vegetarian jokes with the patrolling soldiers below. As the patrol goes away, the sentry becomes lonely again, and can only be accompanied by a solitary shadow.

As the commander of the first battalion, Ye Feng was not sleeping in his tent at this time. Instead, he was lying on the ground in front of the tent with his back spread out, posing a big character and looking up at the stars. Today he received a message from his sister. Letter from home, brother-in-law went to fight in the Hetao again. Unfortunately, he missed the last battle in the Hetao. This time, he finally caught up with the battle to annihilate Donghu. When he left the headquarters last time, He Lanxiong had clearly told him, This time, their Eastern Group Army will definitely participate in the battle to annihilate Donghu. My brother-in-law and the others will attack from south to north, and they will attack from west to east. The two armies will attack at the same time. In this battle, Donghu will be annihilated.

This makes Ye Feng extremely excited. After Donghu is defeated, his brother-in-law's troops will turn around and target the gang of bastards in Jicheng. Those guys there are already trembling, right? They should have a premonition that their doom is coming, right? Ye Feng thought maliciously, when these guys heard that the Eastern Expeditionary Army occupied Helin, would they be so scared that they wet their pants?

Ye Feng could not forget the scene when he was an ignorant young man and was escorted to Jicheng by Yan Lingwei's people along with his parents. On that dark night, Ye Zhong shed tears and led him to which inn he left. Then he hid like a mouse. During the period of hiding, he fell seriously ill. He almost died

Later, the Eastern Expeditionary Army entered the city, and finally the sun and moon were set aside to see the blue sky. But then, the news came back that both his parents had died, and it seemed that in the blink of an eye, he became an orphan again.

Ye Feng's hatred for Jicheng was born with him. When he was young, he went from a noble young man to a small town on the border, living a life of hunger and food. Gao Yuan's appearance brought him new friends. hope. In the days that followed, good news came one after another. My father appeared and my whole life took a turn for the better. However, within a few years of the good days, I fell to the bottom of the cliff again.

Fortunately, at this time, I still have my brother-in-law Gao Yuan

Ye Feng decided to join the army. He imagined that one day, he would personally lead the army and be the first to rush into Jicheng. Rush into that magnificent palace and make those you hate tremble in front of your long sword.

Yes, you have to do this. You must do this yourself

In order to do this, he resolutely came to the front line. In every battle, he charged forward. From a boy who knew nothing, he gradually grew into an excellent soldier and an officer respected by his peers.

certainly,

He himself knew very well what was behind these. They all have the shadow of the same person, that is brother-in-law Gao Yuan, if it weren't for him. When you come to the Eastern Army, you will not be taken care of in this way or covertly. They wanted to go to the front line, so He Lanxiong and Meng Chong mobilized the best officers and soldiers to form their own troops. When they charged forward desperately, there were always some people who rushed forward to take their place at the most critical moment. After a few years of blocking knives and being shot, all the guards that Ye Zhong sent to him have been lost. More of his familiar comrades have left him in battle after battle, but he has survived. , Ye Feng knew that this was not luck. If he didn't have such a big tree like Gao Yuan behind him, maybe he wouldn't be able to survive even a battle.

Perhaps his treatment is unfair to other people who are also working hard, but Ye Feng does not think this is his flaw. Life is like this. There is no absolute fairness. Moreover, his own efforts are worthy of his own efforts. To be as successful as we are now

The reinforced battalion with 1,500 men under its command is the most powerful battalion under the Eastern Group Army. It is also a model force deliberately built by He Lanxiong and Meng Chong.

Turning over, Ye Feng rested his head on his hands, turned sideways, and looked at the tender grass in front of him through the bright firelight between the tents. It seemed that they could be easily broken, but these weeds could always grow in the long run. Within time, new roots will grow tenaciously again. In this life, I must be like these weeds, never give in, no matter how big the setback is, I must be brave enough to sprout again and flutter in the wind.

A war to destroy the country is about to begin, but Ye Feng believes that this is just the beginning, not the end.

The tender weeds trembled slightly in front of Ye Feng, as if he was extremely excited because he had seen through Ye Feng's thoughts. Ye Feng stretched out a hand, wanting to touch the weeds, but at the next moment, his hand stopped. On the top of the weeds, I turned my head in confusion. There was no wind in the sky, but the weeds were trembling more and more fiercely.

Ye Feng was shocked and jumped to his feet. Some time ago, he led a cavalry team with Yan Haibo to support Daijun. He spent a long time in the infantry cavalry team and had a systematic understanding of cavalry tactics. Understand that the weeds move automatically without wind, which comes from the tremors on the ground. This tremor is not like the thunderous sound when large-scale cavalry attacks. It only means one thing. The hooves of all the cavalry are on the ground. , all wrapped in thick cotton cloth in Daijun, he followed the infantry, and did such things often

With a choking sound, he pulled out his sword, took steps, and ran toward the front camp with rapid strides.

"Enemy attack, warning!" He shouted loudly as he ran.

Following his shout, the Jiepukou military stronghold was like a quiet swarm of bees suddenly set on fire. With a buzzing sound, everything boiled. In less than half a quarter of an hour, every soldier had already He snatched them out of the tent fully armed, followed Ye Feng, and rushed towards the front camp.

In the Jiepukou camp, the lights were brightly lit in an instant.

A platform crossbow was pushed out from the tent, the string was twisted, and the arrows were loaded. Bundles of arm-shaped crossbow arrows were carried over, spread out, and inserted into the ground one by one. The crossbowmen took the arm-shaped crossbows and twisted them. Putting on the latest bowstring, the shield bearer erected huge shields in front of the fence. Behind the shields were spearmen holding spears. After that, there were swordsmen, throwing hands, and finally there were crossbowmen. Quietly In an instant, the Jiepukou Army Village turned into a giant armed to the teeth.

Ye Feng climbed up a watchtower and stared into the darkness in the distance. Nothing could be seen clearly in the darkness, but in the night sky, there were unknown flocks of frightened birds passing by. The enemy was really coming, coming from He Forest

Holding the pillar of the watchtower, Ye Feng quickly slid down and reached out to call two soldiers, "You two, get on your fastest horses and immediately warn the Liaoning guards. Tell General Helan and General Meng Chong that they are heading towards Zihelin." "There is a large enemy force coming, but the exact number is unknown at the moment."

"Yes!" The two soldiers turned around and left. After a moment, the sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded, and then they quickly moved away.

"Batalion Commander, do you want to send out scouts to investigate?" an officer asked in a low voice.

"No need!" Ye Feng shook his head, "How many cavalry do we have? It's dark and deep winter outside. Our cavalry riding skills are incomparable with those of the Donghu people. We went out and bumped into the other party's scouts. It was just a meat bun beating a dog. Come on." There was no reply. The enemy came very quickly, and it was a big surprise to the headquarters. The headquarters always believed that Thorpe would concentrate all its forces in the direction of Yulin for a decisive battle with the governor. It never thought that they would take the initiative to attack us. The Donghu people have lived in Liaodong for many years, and indeed they still have great talents. We must maintain every bit of our strength. If we can hold on for one more day in Jiepukou, the headquarters will have one more day of preparation. You know, now the entire Eastern Expedition Army When we were preparing for the expedition, we never expected that a large group of enemies would pounce in this direction. Once the enemy quickly captures us and they attack the Liaoning Guard directly, the large force will suffer unnecessary losses."

"I see!"

"Go down and tell the brothers, haven't they been looking forward to a head-on fight with the Donghu people? Now is the opportunity. The Donghu people don't have many soldiers and horses. If they dare to come to me, they must not be ordinary troops. Maybe they are Thorpe's palace guards pressed down on the carriage. They usually shout about how powerful they are, but now they are mules or horses. Let me pull them out for a walk. Don't show your big teeth." Ye Feng moved his wrist and said with a smile.

Listening to Ye Feng's words, a sinister look flashed in the officer's eyes, "Battalion Commander, we didn't get the word "pace soldier" for nothing in our pacesetter battalion. Just take a good look at him. Who cares about the palace guards?" Army, tell him there will be no return, and his head will be bloody!"

"I like this. Go down and prepare to fight. The enemy comes at night and wants to kill them. Let's give them a big surprise," Ye Feng said with a smile.

In the night, thousands of cavalry were rolling in. At this time, there was no need to hide their traces, and there was no way to hide them. Even if all the horses were wrapped in cotton wool, the movement caused by thousands of horses was already loud at this time. , looking at the Jiepu Kou Army Stronghold that suddenly shined brightly in the distance, Yu Wenming let out a breath of turbid air, "Accelerate, speed up, don't give the enemy more time to prepare, go all out, take down Jie Toupu, open the way to "Liaoning Guard Channel"

"Kill!" Behind him, the thunderous shouts of the Donghu cavalry came.

As the vanguard, Yu Wenming brought a thousand palace guards and three thousand cavalry temporarily drawn from various tribes. At this moment, torches were lit up, like fire dragons, screaming towards Jietoupu. The army is coming (to be continued)
