The Sacred Ding Chapter 150: Procrastination
When Chen Hai and Wu Xiong led their troops close to Qin Tongguan Pass, they rode their horses to ride a ridge, and they could see Qin Tong Da Chi Road stretching from east to west, extending into a big crack. In the valley.
It doesn’t take twenty or thirty miles to enter from the Great Rift Valley. It’s Qintong Pass, which controls the entrance to Gyeonggi in the east and Qintong Pass in the west. Qintong Pass is more than 100 meters high, like a stone gate with iron walls embedded on both sides of more than ten thousand kilometers high. In the mountain wall.
Although Qin Tongguan was in sight, Chen Hai and the others couldn't directly lead their troops to approach Qintongguan.
The entrance to the Great Rift Valley is only two to three thousand steps wide, with ten thousand high cliffs on both sides. The peaks and cliffs are like swords and halberds. They are strangely shaped and difficult for birds to cross.
Chen Hai and the others thought of approaching Qintong Pass, there is no other shortcut to go around, they can only penetrate through Shixia, but at this time, the shadow of Xiakou has already had many refugee rebels holding simple soldiers and forming teams there. .
The refugee rebels should also know that they did not have the strength to fight against the elite cavalry in the open area, so they shrank and formed a formation inside Taniguchi.
Before the loose and messy array, the refugee rebels also cut down some trees and brought some falling rocks, piled them on the gallop, and set them as obstacles. The cliffs on both sides still have a faint light that prevents leakage. It seemed that their main intention was to delay the counterattack of Qintongguan by the Jingying army who had arrived from Yanjing City.
The refugee rebels did not go out of the rift valley to chase the defeated soldiers, nor did they directly retreat to Qintong Pass. Chen Hai guessed that it was likely that Qin Tongguan guards and some people were stubbornly resisting in Guancheng, and the refugees had not completely captured Qintong Pass. , Only then need to extend the line of defense to the estuary twenty or thirty miles away.
Taniguchi’s refugee rebels are simple in armor, but they are all strong and strong. They must be selected from the refugees. There are also hundreds of red eyebrows wearing Zuo Jian and black robes, standing by the rebels. Among them, he was staring at them.
Even if they were several miles apart, Chen Hai could still feel the dark eyes in the eyes of these Cultists.
Seeing this scene, Chen Hai also took a sigh of relief. He thought to himself that there were hundreds of Scarlet Eyebrows in Taniguchi who led tens of thousands of refugees and rebels. He must have stayed in Qintongguan City to encircle and suppress the scarlet eyebrows of the defending army. The number of believers will never be small.
Whether it's the refugees in Yulong Mountain or the surprise attack on Chishan City, Chen Hai has seen the refugees with red eyebrows, but only three or five people are hiding behind the scenes to instigate the chaos. I didn't expect so many people inside and outside Qintong Pass today. When the Red-Brow Cultists came, they could almost conclude that the raid on Qin Tongguan should have been a matter of secretly planning by the C-Brow Cult for a long time.
Chen Hai looked at Tu Zhongjin, Tu Zhongjin's face was ugly.
At the beginning of the year, when the Hexi troupe passed Qin Tongguan, Ge Xuanqiao and Chen Lie both mentioned the disaster of the refugees during the dinner, but Tu Zhongjin and others did not care, thinking that both the refugees and the Red-Brow Cultists were just a problem of scabies. He would never have thought that he would become the first sacrifice to the disaster of the refugees.
Chen Hai and Wu Xiong led their troops to **** Tu Zhongjin to the west to gather the defeated soldiers. At this time, 1,300 people have returned to Tu Zhongjin's command, but it means that the Xiakou has been completely closed by the refugees. Qin Tongguan tens of thousands of elites can escape the catastrophe with just one thousand, two or three hundred people.
Chen Hai and the others do not have strong enough troops, and the New Army of the Seventh Capital in the West Park cannot be deployed at will. At the same time, there is no Dao Dan realm powerhouse on their side, and they do not know the details of the refugees. May rush into the gorge.
The Taiwei Mansion may call the Xiyuan Army to retake Qintong Pass this time, but everything must wait for the Taiwei Mansion to make a decision before Chen Hai can move with the army.
"Tu Shuai takes care of everything!"
Chen Hai arched his hands towards Tu Zhongjin and said.
"Thanks for the great grace!" Tu Zhongjin said.
Chen Hai and Wu Xiong led their troops to help him gather the remnants. It was already a great favor. They even lent him more than 400 good horses and more than 20 light tanks to re-arm, and Tu Zhongjin watched the refugees. The rebels flocked to Xiakou, knowing that it was wishful thinking to retake Qin Tongguan with their strength.
Chen Hai and Wu Xiong have four or five hundred fine rides. They can’t hang alone for a long time. They don’t have the need or obligation. They have done everything they should, and they will return to Maywood Fort to observe the situation, but At this time, Tu Zhongjin wanted to lead the remnants to stay outside the mouth of Qin Tongxia to "make atonement".
At least until the Taiwei’s mansion has a clear questioning decision, Tu Zhongjin cannot easily go back and give away the head; and with enough buffer time, Tu has time to operate secretly and alleviate Tu Zhongjin’s guilt.
Chen Hai and Wu Xiong led their troops to return to Meiwu Fort. It was already the next morning.
During this period, there were several small groups of scouts in Yanjing City, Ma Xi marching in to monitor the movements of the refugee rebels at Qintongguan. However, when they returned to Meiwubao, Chen Hai did not see any army gathering in the direction of Qintongguan. .
In addition to the disciples who have served in the military camps and the courts, nearly a hundred people, including Dong Ning, the lord of Yuecheng County, and the Hexi disciples who have studied in the academy, have all rushed to Meiwubao to stand by to deal with this sudden incident The changes.
"Is there any decision on the Taiwei's mansion, have you decided who will be the general to clean up the chaos?"
Chen Hai and Wu Xiong walked into the hall after disarming. They saw Dong Pan, Pei Jinhua, Dong Ning and others in the hall. They seemed to be sleepless day and night. They couldn't wait to inquire about the movements of the Taiwei Mansion.
Different from the civil unrest that occurred outside the Five Passes in the past, this time the displaced rebels directly attacked the main gateway to the west of Beijing. Millions of rebels marched into the capital. Chaotang’s shock was inevitable. Chen Hai wanted to know too. Was Wei Mansion called the Xiyuan Army nearby, or transferred an elite Tiger Cardinal Army from Qinglongyu Camp to suppress the rebels and retake Qin Tongguan.
"..." Dong Pan smiled bitterly and shook his head, and told Chen Hai and others about the changes in the court that came this night. "Above the court, the ministers all advocated severe punishment for Tu Zhongjin and others for negligence, and they agreed to send troops as soon as possible. In order to suppress the civil rebellion, the prince also asked the prince to personally lead the tiger and the elite to quickly fight against the civil rebellion, but Yu Hegong spread the word to reprimand the prince for being impatient and unsatisfied. Yuhegong's reprimand was a reprimand, but no further imperial decree was issued. The prince was also upset, and his sleeves no longer paid attention to this matter, but instead left the suppression of civil unrest to the officials of the Taiwei Mansion for a resolution. ……"
"In the Taiwei's Mansion, there is a constant dispute over who should be the general and which soldiers and horses to use. At this time, there is no conclusion." Pei Jinhua said helplessly.
"..." Chen Hai opened his mouth and said nothing except a long sigh.
"The eyebrows are on fire, what is the Taiwei Mansion still fighting for?" Wu Xiong thought that the Taiwei Mansion had already begun to assemble the army. I didn't think that it was the time, and he was still trying to use who is the general and dispatching. The soldiers argued endlessly.
Dong Pan is a direct line of the Dong clan of Hexi. He knows that the Wuwei army is segregating Hexi. The weaker the Yanjing, the better, but he and other people are also dumbfounded by the infighting of the court at this time.
"No matter when the Taiwei's Mansion can come up with a resolution, I have to go back to Fujiaoling to be on standby now, so I won't be delayed here..." Chen Hai saw that Meiwubao was standing up, and there shouldn't be much. The chaos, he had a general position, and could not stay in Maywood Fort, so he stood up and said goodbye to Dong Pan.
Chen Hai bid farewell to Dong Ning, the lord of Yuecheng County, and the others. Seeing Dong Ning avoiding his sight, he sighed in his heart and stopped saying anything, so he left the hall.
Chen Hai first returned to Taohuawu. He planned to arrange for Ge Tong to lead a hundred soldiers to garrison Taohuawu, and at the same time organize craftsmen and craftsmen.
Although the possibility of the refugee rebels attacking Yanjing is very small, it is always necessary for Meiwupu and Taohuawu to make more preparations. Once the situation becomes chaotic, in addition to the refugee rebels, they will be lurking in the dark. The forces that hate Hexi may be ready to move.
Fortunately, Taohuawu and Meiwu Fort have been expanded before the winter.
In addition to pouring molten iron into the fortress wall to strengthen Fort Meiwu, it also laid a defensive array to defy the onslaught of refugees and rebels in a short time. Although Taohuawu’s overall defensive power is much worse, and it does not have strong enough troops, it is only two miles away from Meiwu Fort, forming a horned situation, and the situation is bad. Ge Tong led his department to **** craftsmen and craftsmen to break through and withdraw into Meiwu Fort. You still have time.
"Why do you have to do this step, but the Chaotang is still fighting insider~ IndoMTL.com~ What are they thinking in their heads?"
In Maywood Fort, Wu Meng, Ge and others were not qualified to speak, and even Sun Buhui couldn't help interjecting, but when they returned to Taohuawu, they could no longer hold back and asked inexplicably.
Chen Hai smiled bitterly and shook his head and said: "Perhaps those who stood above the court thought that the refugee rebels and the Scarlet Eyebrow Sect were only mobs, and Tu Zhongjin and others lost control of Qin Tongguan because it was just too stupid."
"Brows are burning, and the two ministers are still fighting for success?" Wu Meng and Ge asked in disbelief.
"Qin Tongguan's loss is a serious crime, and the loss of the regain is a great achievement. If this great function is obtained, the two factions will naturally compete," Chen Hai smiled bitterly and said to Zhou Jingyuan, "You send someone to Cao Feng, please come over, I have something to tell him."
At the end of last year, a large group of refugees gathered in the north of Taohuawu. After the year, they built embankments and farms. In order to prevent these refugees from causing major disasters, Chen Hai had no right to drive them away, so he could only secretly fund seventy to eighty thousand refugees to settle in the northern part of Taohuawu.
Chen Hai didn't worry that these refugees who had settled down would cause trouble, but now it's hard to tell.
He also didn’t know if Cao Feng’s refugee leaders had secretly contacted the Scarlet Eyebrows behind their backs, nor if Cao Feng and others knew that Qin Tongguan’s fall would become eager; he is now going to take Cao Feng Called over and probed his fiction.
"What if Cao Feng can't come?" Zhou Jingyuan asked hesitantly.
Everyone also looked at Chen Hai. Cao Feng, the heads of refugees, would probably refuse to enter Taohuawu at this time. I wonder if Chen Hai has any follow-up measures.
"Send someone to please first." Chen Hai waved his hand. Everything depends on Cao Feng's reaction, and then he will do the next step. There is no need to think about anything at this time.
