Tianlong: Immortal Cultivator in the World of Martial Arts

Chapter 150 Against
Maid Zhao came to the palace just to sit and sit. After all, it is a troubled time, and now is the time for him to take responsibility as the emperor.

Yanmenguan

"General, the Liao army is already fifty miles away. This time the Liao army has a total of nearly 50 troops, which is almost the entire strength of the Liao country."

General Zuo Chen Cheng looked at the adjutant who was talking, he didn't understand the situation this time.

Just when Chen Cheng was about to say something, another chubby general beside him said, "General Zuo, I wonder how the imperial court has arranged for us?"

"The imperial court has arrangements for us, but we can't talk about it yet," Chen Cheng said.

"General, what time is this? If the court has any plans, it should be said directly, so that we can know."

Chen Cheng looked at this subordinate who wanted to know the plan so much, and immediately said angrily, "Come here, take down Captain Zuowei."

"General Zuo, what did General Ben do that shouldn't be done, shouldn't he say it?" the captain said loudly.

"Want to know? Then you should ask His Majesty after the war is over!" Chen Cheng said directly, without hesitation about the thoughts of the other generals beside him.

After the captain was taken away, Chen Cheng looked at the others and said with serious eyes, "I think you must be very curious about why this general wanted to have Captain Zuo taken down. Let me tell you now, that is under such circumstances, This general would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go, this time the imperial court's plan is very important, there is no room for negligence, just do your own thing well."

Seeing Chen Cheng like this, no one asked about this matter.

The current Yanmen Pass is 16 against 50. Although it is a defensive battle, many people still have no confidence in their hearts.

The 15 soldiers are basically all running back and forth on the city wall, and the bows and arrows in the corner can be said to be enough for these people to use.

As for the tens of thousands of beggars who are in charge of the city gates, they are not good at such large-scale battles, but for them, these people have lived in Yanmen Pass for several years with their families, and the court treats them very well. There is also a very generous compensation.

At least they can guarantee normal food, clothing, housing and transportation, and now they don't think that they are still members of the Beggar Gang, but a relatively honorable citizen of the Song Dynasty.

For this battle, for this group of people who had no food and clothing, it undoubtedly cost their lives. Therefore, compared with soldiers, they are more concerned about this battle. group.

Chen Cheng walked directly up the city wall, and at this moment, he could already see the mighty army from Daliao's side approaching with the naked eye, and it was so dark that even this experienced general couldn't help but feel a little shocked at this moment. .

But as the supreme commanding general here, Chen Cheng couldn't make any mistakes in his performance, otherwise, it wouldn't be something he could solve alone.

"General, the Liao army is still fifteen miles away from Yanmen Pass, and it is expected to arrive in three hours."

After Chen Cheng heard the report from the people below, he immediately began to order, "Everyone hurry up to check the crossbows and catapults, and hurry up to bring up the defense equipment."

This is a life-and-death contest, and it is a life-and-death contest for tens of thousands of people. Winning this honor will benefit future generations, and losing...

Chen Cheng understood the importance of this stop, so he began to consider all the details.

Liao Army
"Your Majesty, we are already less than ten miles away from Yanmen Pass. Should our army set up camp here? Now that our troops are exhausted, I suggest you rest first and fight tomorrow."

Yelu Hongji looked at the military general next to him, he was also a military general himself, how could he not understand this?

"Notice, set up camp on the spot, everyone keep good spirits, and win Yanmen Pass tomorrow." Yelu Hongji finally started to give orders directly.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Yelu Hongji walked up a small hill and looked towards Yanmen Pass, there was still a simple smile on the corner of his mouth.

When I turned around and saw the 50 troops behind me, I sometimes felt uneasy in my heart.

The food and grass of 50 people is also an astronomical figure. Once there is a problem, it will be a fatal blow to the Liao army.

But for the current Yelu Hongji, even if he wanted to break his head, he would never have thought that the Song army would steal from the sea.

This time the army accompanied him without Xiao Feng, since last time he always talked about Da Song, Yelu Hongji's trust in this brother has decreased a lot.

Yanmenguan

"General Zuo, the Liao army has already set up camp, shall we...?"

"Don't think about those useless things. The Kaesong sneak attack is not good for our army now. The opponent has a large number of people. If there is a mistake, it will be a fatal blow to us." Chen Cheng said cautiously.

A sneak attack on 50 people will be of little use if there are fewer people. If there are too many people and something happens, it will be irreparable. Anyway, the order I received is to defend the city and not step out of the city gate. Of course, the Liao army is not allowed to step In half a step.

Into the night
At this time, Chen Cheng walked up to the city wall again, looked at the soldiers who were connected together, and immediately began to order, "Leave half of the soldiers, and the rest go to rest, but fix the torches on the city wall."

"General, you're such a good move!"

Hearing the praise from the adjutant next to him, Chen Cheng said with a smile, "Arrange a dozen people to ride a horse to a place three miles away from the Liao army to beat the drums for me, and they will start to retreat after they wake up."

"Yes, General, this subordinate will do it now."

Seeing that the soldiers had already started to retreat before going to rest, at this time he was directly on the edge of the city wall and looked towards the Liao army.

Half an hour later, a team of more than a dozen people sneaked to a place relatively close to the Liao army with two big drums. The leader looked at the people behind him and said, "Everyone knows the mission this time. The army immediately began to retreat."

"Yes."

Hearing everyone's reply in unison, the leading general said, "Start beating the drums."

As the sound fell, the two drums immediately began to sound an offensive sound. The sound was so loud that it could be heard relatively clearly at Yanmen Pass six or seven miles away, but they had already been told about it.

For sleeping soldiers, such people who suddenly wake up and go into a tense state, no matter how good their health is, they will still have no energy the next day.

Hearing the attacking drums of the Song army, all the people in the Liao army camp immediately began to gather, and even Yelu Hongji walked out without a coat and bare feet.
