Chapter 786: Sunrise in the East (11)

In the Liaoning Acropolis, the alarm bell rang suddenly. As the alarm bell rang, the Liaoning Guard, which had been plunged into darkness, suddenly burst into light. Torches were lit one after another, illuminating the entire city wall of the Liaoning Guard. People The clamor of voices, the tramp of horses' hooves, the sound of drums, bells, and bugles resounded throughout the city.

The entire Liaoning Guard was in a state of excitement.

The Liaoning Guard was originally a military stronghold, but because the Eastern Group Army was now preparing for a large-scale attack on Donghu territory, there were still tens of thousands of civilians who had passed through the Panshan Mountains from western Liaoning to transport supplies here. The alarm bell rang, and everyone rushed to the street. This makes the Liaoning Guard look overwhelmed.

After a while, groups of soldiers came out from the headquarters and began to maintain order and drive away the civilians who came to the streets. Their work was extremely efficient. In less than a stick of incense, the streets had been cleared except for a group of soldiers. Apart from the troops running back and forth, there was no one else to be seen.

Within this time, the Donghu Group Army entered the headquarters, from Commander He Lanxiong to all senior officers in the Liaoning Acropolis, all gathered here.

He Lanxiong's face was very ugly, and Meng Chong was not much better. The Donghu people's attack greatly exceeded their expectations. The Supervisory Yuan has not sent back any information so far. It can be seen that this time the Donghu people not only The troops were dispatched extremely quickly and suddenly, and the confidentiality work was done well.

"Everyone, just now Jietoupu Ye Feng sent urgent military information. About three to five thousand Donghu cavalry raided Jietoupu. Judging from the time, a fierce battle should have started in Jietoupu by now." He Lanxiong looked around at all the generals in the room. He said in a deep voice: "There are three to five thousand people in the vanguard alone. This means that the main force of the opponent's attack should be between two and thirty thousand."

The general below looked a little shocked. Because now the entire strength of the Liaoning Guard is only a little over 10,000, and the rest. Either they are still resting in the Niulan Mountain camp in western Liaoning, or they are still in the winding mountains and have not come over. With just over 10,000 troops, they fought against 20,000 to 30,000 Donghu cavalry. Although these generals were arrogant, they were not arrogant.

There is a cavalry of 5,000 in the Eastern Group Army, which is basically composed of Huns, such as the Donghu warriors He Lianpo, Luo Feng, and He Lanmin of the Helan tribe. He Lanjie, are all in this cavalry team, and this cavalry team is also led by He Lanxiong himself. The infantry is divided into two armies, one is led by Meng Chong personally, and the other is led by Yan Haibo. Only half of Meng Chong's troops are in Liaoning. The rest of the Liaoning Guards have not yet arrived in Panshan, and Yan Haibo's entire army is still resting in the Niulanshan camp.

If there is another force in the Liaoning Guard, it is Aguhuaien's cavalry. This cavalry has more than 10,000 people, but the problem is. He Lanxiong does not dare to use them boldly now. Agu Huaien may be trustworthy, but the people below him. Are you totally on the same page with him? Were there any people who were forced by the situation at the time to follow Agu Wynn? If these people rebel again under circumstances that have changed, the harm will be great.

"I have sent an order to Panshan,

All the soldiers and horses in the Niulanshan Camp gathered at the Liaoning Guard as quickly as possible. However, a conservative estimate is that it will take five days at the fastest for the soldiers and horses in the winding mountain to arrive, and Yan Haibo's troops in the Niulanshan Camp. It will take at least half a month to reach Liaoning Wei. We have to withstand an attack of about 30,000 cavalry for more than half a month with a lack of troops and horses," He Lanxiong said

Meng Chong stood up. Then he said: "If we are just defending the Liaoning Guard, we have enough troops on hand, but now Jie Toupu is under siege. There are more than a thousand of our brothers there. More importantly, the battalion commander Ye Feng has a special status. , here are all our brothers, I don’t have to hide it. If it were another battalion commander, we could all make up our minds to sacrifice our troops to save the car. We would rather not save Jie Toupu, but also defend the Liaoning Guard. But where is Ye Feng? Neither I nor Commander He can help but rescue them, and the Donghu people must also understand this."

These words left everyone speechless. All the people present were experienced veterans. Everyone knew that in this situation, it was impossible to defend and it was best to wait for the troops and horses to gather before launching a counterattack. choice, but the question is, what should Ye Feng do?

Everyone looked at me, I looked at you, and then lowered their heads in unison. Everyone understood in their hearts that Commander Gao Yuan was a veteran on the battlefield. Under such circumstances, they would not blame the generals of the Eastern Group Army, but his wife Ye Jing'er did not. If you think so, Ye Feng is her only brother and the last male of the Ye family. After coming to the Eastern Army, He Lanxiong and Meng Chong have gone to the extreme to ensure that Ye Feng can be as safe as possible on the battlefield. This situation is something no one would have imagined.

Maybe it's nothing now and the governor will suppress his wife's anger, but what about in the future? Everyone present was aware of the relationship between the governor and his wife. The joke about the fallen grape trellis was now not only a topic of conversation among people in Jishi City, but also in the distant Liaoning Guard. The generals had also heard about it. I feel that I am a junior official, but at this moment, everyone is rejoicing. If the sky falls, there will be a tall man to hold it up. All I have to do is follow orders.

He Lanxiong looked around at everyone. He originally did not expect his generals to make up his mind on this matter. After a moment of silence, he said slowly: "I have decided that Agu Huaien and I will lead the army." Attack and assist Jie Toupu. Meng Chong will lead all the infantry to stick to the Liaoning Guard. No matter how the fighting is outside, the infantry must not leave the Liaoning Guard lightly. This is our advance base for attacking Donghu's old nest. The supplies here are now piled up like mountains. This is all the blood and sweat of the people in western Liaoning, Jishi and other places. It was saved bit by bit by the Zhengdong Mansion. There must be no room for loss. Let's all go down. All the cavalry generals are ready to attack, and the infantry generals are ready to defend the city."

All the generals stood up, loudly agreed, and quickly disappeared into the hall, leaving only Meng Chong.

"Helan, you should discuss this with me in advance," Meng Chong said: "The order to attack is too hasty. The Donghu people will definitely expect this. Once you go out, it will be a hard battle, and the victory or defeat is extremely difficult to predict. It would be even worse if there were palace guards attacking this time, especially Agu Huaien's group."

He Lanxiong shook his head and said: "It is even worse for Agu Huaien's group to stay in Liaoning Guard now. People's hearts are unpredictable. Who knows what will happen. I will take them out together. Even if the whole army is destroyed, they will not be a threat." At the Liaoning Guard, with the troops on hand, you will have no problem holding on until reinforcements arrive."

"I mean, why did you go out in person?" Meng Chong complained.

"I have to go out!" He Lanxiong smiled bitterly, "My wife, Ye Jing'er, has always been prejudiced against my girls. As you know, although she was forced to come to the door to propose marriage in person, the grudge in her heart does not mean that she is not there. This time, Ye Feng is in danger. "If I don't try my best to save him, Ye Jing'er will definitely be extremely angry. This is not a good thing. At least, it will be very bad for Yanzi in the future. Ye Jing'er must be a big woman after all!"

Meng Chong scratched his head in embarrassment. He knew that He Lanxiong was telling the truth, "In fact, no matter what, you will complain about this matter, and you may not be able to save Ye Feng if you go out, unless we attack with the whole army."

"What about the Liaoning Guard? If our Eastern Group Army has completed its assembly, I will not hesitate to choose the entire army to attack, but now, is it possible?" He Lanxiong sighed, "Although the sun is setting in the Western Mountains in Donghu, the centipede insect is still alive. Dead but not stiff, I underestimate them."

"This is not your problem alone. Neither I nor Zhengdong Mansion expected that at this time, the other party would send such a large force to attack the Liaoning Guard." Meng Chong smiled bitterly. "This matter is very important to us. , it sounded the alarm and taught us a profound lesson."

"It's too late to say anything now. I hope Ye Feng can hold on in Jie Toupu."

"The Bianbing camp has 1,500 troops, and all of them are veterans. As long as Ye Feng does not take risks and sticks to the camp, it will not be a matter of time for the opponent to break through Jietoupu. The Liaoning Guard is only a few meters away from Jietoupu. It's ten miles away, and the cavalry can arrive in an hour or two."

"Let's see if I can break through the opponent's interception!" He Lanxiong stood up, "After I leave the city, this Liaoning Guard will be handed over to you. Hold on, no matter what, the Liaoning Guard cannot fall into the hands of the Donghu people."

"I understand!" Meng Chong also stood up, stretched out his hand, and shook hands with He Lanxiong, "Take care, the Eastern Expedition Army will be victorious!"

"Conquer the Eastern Army and win thousands of victories!"

He Lanxiong nodded at the other party, turned around and strode away from the tent.

When the sky was dimming, He Lanxiong led 5,000 cavalry, and Agu Huai'en led about 10,000 cavalry, and ran towards Jie Toupu.

In front of Jie Toupu Junzhai, there was already a river of blood.

From the Donghu military formation to the defense line of the military camp, there were fallen corpses of men and horses everywhere. The blood first soaked the dry land, and then flowed along the small gaps created by the washing, and the smell of blood floated in the wind. , making you sick when you hear it

The iron wires were pulled out one by one, and the trenches were filled with the corpses of men and horses. The armies and horses of both sides had faced each other for countless rounds. The fences outside the military fortress had long been swept away, and the pacesetter battalion led by Ye Feng , but still stood behind the fallen fence without taking a step back.

In a whole night of fighting, Ye Feng led fifty Mo Dao soldiers to attack several times. Now, there were only more than twenty Mo Dao soldiers left behind him. The others stayed on the path of the opponent's charge forever. Some were filled into trenches, while others were trampled to pieces by horse hooves like the fallen Donghu cavalry (to be continued)
