Chapter 685 Why don’t you put the fool in the rear?
Chapter 685 Why don’t you put the fool in the rear?
The movement of the Han army is huge. In fact, it is the same whether it is reconnaissance or not. But what I can see now is that there should be no less than ten thousand people.
So the general thought for a while and said:
"In addition, I would like to report to the prince that there are tens of thousands of Han traitors, and they have now arrived at Baofeng Pass (Xianggang Pass). The defenders of Taikou County (Fengshan County) have either been wiped out or have surrendered to the enemy and rebelled."
After speaking, he said suddenly as he watched the messenger hurried away.
"By the way, ask the Admiral for help."
Regarding this general's words, a general soldier said curiously:
"General, what are you worried about?"
"Our pass is so tall, can the enemy capture it?"
The general glanced at the idiot, but he explained in a good voice.
"The enemy suddenly appeared in our Baofeng Pass, and there were no less than tens of thousands of them. This indicates that there is a problem in Taikou County ahead. No matter what kind of problem it is, it is very serious now."
"And Han Thieves, look at the Han Thieves. As soon as they arrive, they will not set up camp or attack. Do you know what this means?"
The general soldier shook his head, "I don't know!"
The general explained patiently, "This means that they are preparing to attack us before dark, and they are still confident of breaking through our pass."
The commander-in-chief immediately sneered when he heard this, his eyes full of disdain.
"General, it's just a bunch of traitors and a mob. How can they capture our pass?"
As soon as these words came out, the looks in the eyes of several other commanders, including the general, changed when they looked at him.
How did you say such idiotic words?
Damn it, if your father hadn't been Feng Wenfu, the governor of Sichuan Province, he would have kicked you out a long time ago.
But when everyone thought that they still needed the rescue of Sichuan Province Admiral Feng Wenfu, their eyes softened a little.
After all, this loser is actually quite self-aware. At least he won't intervene and direct, and he can also draw resources.
So he suppressed his disdain and a commander-in-chief answered him on behalf of the general.
"Commander Feng, since you are already a commander, you must understand that there is no simple traitor, let alone a rabble."
"They can achieve such a great power, so naturally they have their own strengths."
"Although most of the time you are vulnerable, but once you underestimate the enemy and get into trouble, you are making fun of your own life and the life of your whole family."
"And not to mention that we are facing Han thieves. You must know that they have done such a big thing in northern Xinjiang and have the courage to kill the imperial envoys. They are a lunatic in themselves."
"You have to understand that this is only the third day since Taikou County sent out a request for help."
"In other words, within three days, the Han thieves completed their attack or bypassed Taikou County, and then came straight towards us."
"You must know that Taikou County is a hundred miles away from Baofeng Pass. If we attack Taikou County, including rest and other things, it will take at least one day."
"Then, in just over a day, they came to us, which was extremely terrifying."
"A hundred miles, an ordinary person may be able to complete the journey in one or half a day. But this is an army, and it is still within the territory of our army. It is not certain whether an army of tens of thousands can travel forty miles in one day, but it only took them less than two days time, that’s what’s scary.”
General Feng frowned and said, "But what if they choose to take a detour? Doesn't this give them another day?"
At this time, other general soldiers were also speechless, and only heard the general remind:
"If they take a detour, they will have to march at least two to three hundred miles more. Wouldn't that be even more scary?"
General Feng: "......"
General Feng was usually very shrewd, but he was not very good at military matters. To be honest, all the generals, including this general, were extremely speechless at this time.
They really don't know why Admiral Feng Wenfu sent his son to be the commander-in-chief.
For military exploits?
Wouldn't this thing be better in the rear?
As a result, everyone reacted immediately.
It seems that they are already at the rear!
"The Han thieves are about to attack!"
Someone shouted loudly, which immediately attracted the attention of the general and the generals.
But the general set his sights entirely on the Han army and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
I heard a general soldier murmur: "Are the traitors crazy?"
The general subconsciously answered, "They are not crazy, they just went too far. Why are they all wearing armor?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't help but shudder.
The armor is not leather armor, it is made of leather armor and iron sheets. Although it can be seen that these are light armors, at a glance, tens of thousands of people are like this. It is too scary, isn't it? good.
A general soldier complained: "Everyone is wearing armor. Have we encountered the elite of Han thieves?"
"This horse is a rebel. He looks more like an officer than us. I feel like a rebel even when I'm riding!"
However, after the general was stunned, he immediately shouted loudly.
"I stepped on the horse and finally figured out how they got here."
"Quick, come here, ask Sichuan Province Admiral Feng Wenfu for help, ask the prince for help."
"Don't forget to report. There are tens of thousands of Han thieves wearing armor. Our army may not be able to resist them!"
As the general issued the order to call for help, the generals also came to their senses.
"Quickly, organize defense!"
In fact, they didn't need to tell them at all. The soldiers and officers below had already prepared their defenses before the Han army arrived and were ready.
What is different from these general soldiers is that these soldiers do not have a clear concept of the enemy wearing iron armor.
Although they knew that the defensive performance of iron armor was very good, they did not understand how terrifying it would be when the enemy had tens of thousands of such armors.
Therefore, they were just nervous and prepared their defenses in an orderly manner without any fear.
What stands out is that an ignorant person is fearless!
"what is that?"
Seeing that the Han army had set up an offensive formation but did not attack, but instead continued to form large-scale formations from the rear, a trace of doubt arose in the hearts of all the defenders.
However, someone had the insight and asked, "What else could it be, a siege ladder, a shield chariot or something like that!"
"But these Han thieves are really crazy. It's almost dusk and they don't want to set up camp. Instead, they organize an attack. It's really stupid."
"If they are still like this at night, or if they have not set up camp at all, the generals will send out a small force of elites to make a surprise attack. Maybe these Han thieves will collapse!"
The person who said this was a junior officer, and he had some knowledge compared to others.
"But Guandai, what are those three big racks for? Why have I never seen them before?"
A soldier pointed at the gravity trebuchet and asked curiously.
The leader was also stunned when asked, how did he know what this was.
"You don't care what it is, it's just for beating us."
Then he reminded: "Don't show your head randomly when the fight starts. I heard from the Jinling Army that the Han thieves can shoot arrows accurately."
"Oh!"
At dusk, the gravity trebuchet was assembled and began final debugging.
"Reload with one shot!"
"put!"
