Receiving a lot of bad news along the way, Yinyanjun hurried and finally arrived at the destination Baishan Pass after a month.

"This is Baishan Pass." Taking a deep breath of cold air, although it made Feng Yun uncomfortable, he was still a little excited, this was the first time he had breathed the air "far away".

Baishan Pass, as its name suggests, is surrounded by mountains, and although the snow has melted, the white dew grass that has not been drilled out of the soil for a short time has turned white and maintained the silver of the mountains. The blue sky, the snow-white earth, the only discord is the Guancheng in front of Feng Yun and the others, the city wall more than three zhang high almost overwhelmed the people under the city, the open city gate is like the blood mouth of a giant beast about to devour its prey, if Feng Yun and the others can go around to the other side of the Guancheng, this feeling may be more obvious, because the other side is the place where the Longyan Kingdom and the Northern Barbarian Clan are fighting.

The walls there are full of slashes and axes, and there are countless arrow holes, and even though the walls have been repaired many times, there are still many traces of wartime. Every year, large patches of weeds grow on the blood-soaked land beneath the city, making it difficult for the defenders to spend a lot of time cleaning up.

Unlike Feng Yun, Zhao Quan's mood at the moment was very bad. Everyone followed Wu Hong, the deputy general of the Chiyan Army, to the City Lord's Mansion.

Wu Hongcai, who entered the city lord's mansion, said to Zhao Quan: "Half a month ago, we received news that Tangcheng and Liangcheng were broken one after another, much earlier than we expected, and then the spies reported that the Northern Barbarian army continued to set off after only one day of repairing in Liangcheng, and marched in the direction of Silan Pass. ”

As soon as the Yinyan Army arrived, Wu Hong was afraid of shaking the army's heart, so he didn't talk about it outside just now, and only then did he tell the Pan, but the soldiers of the Chiyan Army knew that it was only a matter of time before it reached the Yinyan Army.

Hearing the news that General Chen Bao led the army to aid Silan Pass, Zhao Quan's heart sank, Chen Bao was almost in the age of ear shun, almost spent most of his life on the battlefield, the sense of smell on the battlefield was far from being comparable to himself, thinking that General Chen must have noticed something before deciding to go to Silan Pass in person.

However, Zhao Quan also faintly guessed that according to the plan set by Long Yan Kingdom, the Northern Barbarian Army would not arrive at Silan Pass for at least ten days, and at that time, the Yinyan Army had already arrived at Baishan Pass. However, unexpectedly, the Northern Barbarian march was extremely fast, and before Long Yanguo could react, Tangcheng and Liangcheng, which were temptations, were swallowed in one bite, and the soldiers came to Silanguan. The only good news is probably that the people and food in Tangcheng and Liangcheng have long been evacuated.

At this time, Zhao Quan, who had the largest official position, sat on the main seat, and Wu Hong handed out a letter from his arms and continued: "General Chen arrived one step ahead of the Northern Barbarians, but left Silan Pass after not entering the city to replenish grain and grass, and stopped at a place fifteen miles outside Silan Pass, and then General Chen successively sent two military reports, one was that the Northern Barbarian army that came to attack this time was no less than 120,000 as expected, and the main force was under the account of King Yongsheng, and ordered us to guard against the sneak attack of the Northern Barbarians, and the other was that although the Northern Barbarian soldiers were not afraid of death, they had been dragged by him and the Ziyan Army. Heavy casualties, when you reach the White Mountain Pass, you can flank the Northern Barbarians...... We also thought that the situation was getting better, until three days ago we saw the emergency wolf smoke at Silan Pass, and the next day we received this letter from General Chen. There were less than 40,000 soldiers in the city, and I didn't dare to divide the troops again, so I only sent a small team of men to answer and inquire about the news, and I did not return for the time being. ”

Zhao Quan listened to Wu Hong's words, took out the letter and read it, the more he looked at it, the more cold his mood became, and his face seemed to be able to scrape off a layer of frost, which made everyone present nervous.

After Zhao Quan finished reading the letter, the deputy general Ma Shouxin asked in a deep voice: "What happened to Silan Pass?" ”

Zhao Quan ignored Ma Shouxin, but first turned his head to Wu Hong and asked, "Who knows what is in the letter?" Can you ask for help from Jingzhong? ”

Wu Hong nodded and said, "For the time being, only me and a few lieutenants know." After receiving General Chen's letter, I sent a Hongling envoy to Beijing that night to send the letter asking for help and the letter I had copied from General Chen. ”

Zhao Quan nodded, they received the news that Liangcheng was broken on the way, Zhao Quan ordered to speed up the march, and then also saw the wolf smoke of Silan Pass, but the detailed news was not received, thinking that it was staggered with the messenger.

Zhao Quan handed the letter to Ma Shouxin and the others, closed his eyes and thought, the situation mentioned in the letter was even worse than the worst situation he thought of, if he hadn't been sure that it was General Chen's own handwriting and saw the wolf smoke in Silan Pass with his own eyes, he would have reprimanded angrily: "Nonsense!" ”

After reading the letter, Ma Shouxin and the others also looked incredulous.

“…… Is there really anyone in this world who knows how to demons? Yu Shi said astringently.

After a long time, Zhao Quan opened his eyes and said, "Since it was written by General Chen himself, I don't think it's a lie. Whether it's a demon law or not, but the poisonous insects mentioned in the letter have to be guarded against. ”

Chen Bao wrote in the letter that the Northern Barbarians were fierce, and they were not afraid of death in attacking for several days, coupled with their sneak attacks and harassment outside, the Northern Barbarians suffered heavy casualties, and they thought that the situation could be stabilized, but the Yinyan army arrived slowly. However, I didn't expect that a few days later, the Northern Barbarian army stopped attacking but sent a Taoist, this person claimed to be the national teacher of the Northern Barbarian Tribe, and came to persuade him to surrender, and the Silan guard Xue Nanyan and others naturally ignored it, when even if the soldiers were ordered to shoot this person, who knew that this person actually attracted a gust of demon wind to blow away the bow and arrow, and then stood in the air and released countless poisonous insects from the sleeve, this poisonous insect was very fierce, the soldiers were frightened by the poisonous insects to throw away their armor, and the soldiers who were bitten by the poisonous insects were even more blackened, the pain and itching were unstoppable, and they could not fight. The number of poisonous insects is like a large cloud of smoke and if it is not carefully prevented, Silan Pass may be difficult to sustain, and it is hoped that Baishan Pass and the DPRK can quickly find countermeasures. The letter concluded by saying that if nothing could be done, they would try their best to cover the retreat of the Ziyan army.

The situation was critical, Zhao Quan was not polite, and after everyone discussed it, he said to Wu Hong: "Now that the matter is over, do you have any opinions on the matter of Baishan Pass being taken over by my Yinlin Army?" ”

Seeing Wu Hong shaking his head, Zhao Quan continued: "It has been three days since the Silan Pass was in a hurry, according to what the letter said, let's prepare for the worst." Ma Shouxin immediately arranged for the two armies to change their guards, appease the hearts of the army, and don't talk about the demon road for the time being. Ordered Liu Dapang to quickly count all the grain and grass. Wu Hong immediately arranged for the Chiyan Army to go out of the city in small teams in the direction of Silan Pass to search for any soldiers who had escaped from Silan Pass, not to alarm the Northern Barbarian army, everything was mainly to save people, and if the military situation of Silan Pass was found, report it immediately. I went to ask Li Langzhong to come at that time. ”

Everyone took the order to leave, and as soon as he walked to the door, he was stopped by Zhao Quan: "You send someone to call Huang Liming too." ”

……

Liu Dapang, who had been busy for a long time, finally took a breath before dark, and returned to the station of the Huotou Army with a somewhat gloomy face, and happened to meet Feng Yun who came back from outside.

"What did you do?"

"I went to Li Langzhong's to help, and I was sorting all kinds of herbs over there, but Li Langzhong seemed to have been called by the general, only me and a few other Langzhong."

Liu Dapang nodded before he said, "What I asked you to practice during this time, how did you practice?" ”

"If you practice, it's ...... I'm a little off target, but I'm pretty skilled. Feng Yun was a little weak-hearted, and he didn't dare to look directly at Liu Dapang.

Liu Dapang snorted lightly and said, "It's not dark yet, now practice for me." ”

The two came to the shooting range one after the other, Feng Yun took off a small crossbow from the belt behind his back, this small crossbow was nearly half smaller than a normal crossbow, but the workmanship was more delicate than the crossbow used by the soldiers of the ordinary shooting battalion, and the range and power were naturally far inferior to the ordinary crossbow, but with Feng Yun's weak body, he could also wind this small crossbow, which showed the delicacy of its mechanism. This small crossbow was originally intended by Zhao Quan to be given to Feng Yun as a parting gift, there is a hunting atmosphere in Beijing, and Feng Yun, who does not need the usual bow and crossbow, can also hunt some chickens and sparrows with this small crossbow, who knows that the plan can't catch up with the changes, and now the target of this small crossbow is more likely to be the Northern Barbarian.

Feng Yun put on the bowstring for the small crossbow, set up the crossbow arrow, and aimed at the straw man more than ten steps away, only to hear a string sound, and the crossbow arrow flew past the straw man.

Feng Yun smiled: "It's a bit windy here, I'm not used to it." ”

Liu Dapang ignored Feng Yun's excuses, and just said with a dark face: "Go and pick up the arrow and continue." ”

The next two arrows were on target as he wished, which made Feng Yun breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.

"You have to shoot a hundred shots within twenty paces, otherwise the barbarians will kill, and you won't have a chance to shoot a second arrow within twenty steps, understand? Don't go to Li Langzhong's tomorrow, practice this for me. Liu Dapang admonished with an ugly face.

Feng Yun agreed in a low voice.

"Where's the dagger I gave you?"

"Take it." Feng Yun replied as he took out a wooden sheath dagger from his arms.

Pierce this straw man as I taught you.

Feng Yun pulled out the dagger, held the handle of the knife with both hands, one leg in front and the other behind, and stabbed at the straw man with all his strength.

"Remember, you have little strength, one hand is afraid that you can't even pierce the leather armor of a brute, you must use both hands when stabbing, and this knife has no blade, so you have to hold the head of the knife with one hand, otherwise you may injure yourself if you have blood on your hand."

Feng Yun nodded while looking for Liu Dapang to improve his posture.

After being satisfied with Feng Yun's movements, he continued: "Do you remember other things I taught you? ”

Feng Yun nodded vigorously and replied, "Remember!" I'm small, so it's best to look for the enemy's waist, underbelly, knee sockets, and heels. ”

Seeing that Feng Yun hadn't forgotten his instructions, Liu Dapang's face turned slightly pale: "Well, don't remember to hide if you can, sneak attack if you can't, run away if you hit, don't think about killing the enemy." Fight head-on, ten dishes that you are not enough for a brute. ”

“…… Got it. Although Liu Dapang described him as inferior to a dog, Feng Yun couldn't refute it, so he had to agree sullenly.

Liu Dapang was about to continue to tell Feng Yun about some things that must be paid attention to on the battlefield, but he heard a bell ringing from the watchtower.
