Cangzhou beacon fire

Chapter 6 The New Army's First Victory
The next day, on the hillside of Chibei Mountain, at the gate of the Bandit Village.

No matter what, White Night City never expected that this group of baby soldiers would have such fighting power.

The [-] cavalry broke up the formation of [-] bandits on the opposite side with a single charge, and they were defeated in an instant, leaving only one-sided slaughter.

Last night, Baiyecheng proposed the strategy of splitting up troops to attack the bandit village behind. Zhong Yao did not adopt it, insisting on three thousand against eight thousand to attack from the main gate.

Reckless!Brave but foolish!stupid!Brainless!Bai Yecheng was still cursing these words before going to bed last night.

It shouldn't be, this red-backed bandit army is so good?

Seeing the unilateral massacre at the gate of the village, White Night City couldn't figure it out. They were bandits from the Redbacked Mountain who had beaten the local defenders out of the city. How could they be like little white rabbits in front of this group of child soldiers? The ones are only in their early twenties, and the young ones are only sixteen or seventeen.

Seeing that the winner was already divided, he couldn't help counting the rations in his pocket. There were still two days left, and the supplies in the village were confiscated, so he shouldn't have to go hungry, mainly because it was really unpalatable.

The battle at the gate of the cottage was still going on, I saw Zhong Yao's silver-armored white horse slowly driving out of the battlefield with a trace of dust and smoke, the armor and mount were all stained with blood.

"Xiang Zhengwei's bandit soldiers on the left, split and attack, and Lan Tian leads a team to circle around and attack, don't let any of them escape!" Zhong Yao did not forget to tell the tactics before leaving.

I saw him holding a gun in one hand, and holding two heads with the other hand. The blood was still dripping from the heads, and he ran straight towards Baiye City. For Zhong Yao, the battle was over.

The two heads were thrown in front of White Night City, watching the heads roll on the ground, White Night City's fragile stomach also rolled, and he vomited after dismounting.

"Zhong Yao! You are sick, right? Show me these, uh... uh..." Bai Yecheng couldn't help but vomited while cursing.

Zhong Yao smiled complacently: "Don't you know the characters who beat the Weicheng defenders so much that they dared not go out of the city?"

"Take it away quickly, I don't want to know each other, uh..." Seeing the heads of those two people, Bai Yecheng couldn't stand it anymore.

In a short while, another cavalry rode out from the battlefield to Zhong Yao and Baiyecheng. Baiyecheng took a closer look. Isn't this the young man who went to my house to tie me up that day? What's his name?Yes, to the witness.

"Brother Yao, the bandit village has surrendered." Xiang Zheng shouted loudly.

Zhong Yao reined in his horse and turned back, and said coldly: "The bandits and bandits are cruel, if they don't stay, they will be executed on the spot."

Last night, Zhong Yao and Xiang Zheng went to inspect the surrounding attacked villages. The scene was really purgatory on earth. All poor villages with no food and wealth were slaughtered. It was not intended to spare their lives.

"Yes!" Xiang Zheng was undoubtedly very excited when he heard this. He turned around and ran towards the battlefield, and blew a sharp whistle.

Hearing that no one would stay, Bai Yecheng looked at Zhong Yao in shock, and realized that he actually didn't know much about this long-time best friend.

Is it cruel?Everyone surrendered.

"Kill them all?" White Night City asked cautiously.

Zhong Yao nodded: "Yes."

The battle at the gate of the village had stopped, and the living bandits threw away the weapons in their hands and gathered together with their heads in their hands. Not long after, there were bursts of wailing and screams, and Baiye City was terrified. This is more pleasing to the ear than any other art music.

Controlling violence with violence is undoubtedly the most effective means.

On the way back, Xiang Zhengqing counted the casualties and reported to Zhong Yao that there were more than 30 serious injuries and hundreds of minor injuries.

This result made Bai Yecheng even more stunned. He secretly inspected these young faces, all of them were serious and reticent, not at all like a teenage boy should be.

Teenager, how did Zhong Yao train?Like a god of hell...

"Yao, how did you manage to kill [-] bandits with such a small injury?"

"Morale." Zhong Yao answered calmly, wiping the blood stains on the silver armor with a plain cloth.

"Morale?"

"On the battlefield, panicked and dispersed, but it's just a herd of cattle and sheep waiting to be slaughtered. It has nothing to do with the number. How can three thousand wolves compare with eight thousand sheep?"

If Baiye City nodded his head soberly, this metaphor is quite appropriate.

"That's right, Yao."

"What's the matter?" Zhong Yao responded a little impatiently.

"After confiscating so many supplies, do we have to reward the soldiers on the way back, such as improving the food?"

"Oh no, hunger is exercise too."

"I…………"

At noon the next day, although the sky was sunny, the court hall of Shouyan City seemed to be covered by a layer of haze. Because of the urgent return of soldiers, Jinxi Yushui City fell two days ago.

The half-day dispute between the court and the court was fruitless, and Sanyuan Wang Tianjin smashed another top-quality brush and left with his sleeves.

After Yan Yu came out of the court hall, he hurried to Dongcheng District. He wanted to find someone, someone whom Qi Sheng didn't like.

Dongcheng Area

Yan Yu led the guards through a hidden alley, lowered his head and passed rows of bamboo racks for drying bacon, and then came to a courtyard.

At the gate of the courtyard, a burly man was standing in front of the door, dressed in coarse entourage clothing, looking around at this time, with a slightly unhappy expression on his face.

"Is it General Yan?" Seeing Yan Yu and others approaching, the man asked loudly.

Yan Yu was curious, stepped forward and asked, "How do you know that General Yan will come today?"

"Why is it so annoying, just say if you are General Yan or not!" The man is about 35 years old, tall and tall, with a square face and broad forehead. He seems to have a simple and honest face.

The guards behind Yan Yu couldn't stand it anymore, and were about to step forward to make trouble, Yan Yu raised his hand to stop them.

"I'm Yan Yu, it should be the General Yan you're talking about." Yan Yu bowed respectfully again.

When the guard heard that Yan Yu was a little happy, he stepped aside and said: "Oh, my master is here to invite you, let's go in." Then he whispered: "Don't tell me that he is an old man, so that I will ask everyone... "

Although the voice was a little lower, but the guards belonged to the Lian family, they heard it clearly, and they all glared at the man at the same time. If it was any other occasion, they would drag him out and beat him up.

Yan Yu didn't let the guards follow, and entered the courtyard alone.

When you enter the courtyard, you can see a pond with lotus flowers on it, and dragonflies flying on the water surface from time to time, causing ripples.

There is a pavilion in the distance of the pond, and a person is hidden under the pavilion.

Yan Yu went around the pond and came to the gazebo. Fang could see a little clearly that it was a handsome young man in white clothes who was about 25 years old.

The young man in white was playing Go alone. The black and white players played Go alone. They thought about each move for a long time, as if they had merged into the world of the grid.

When it came to a black piece, the young man in white fell into deep thought, and the black piece that was about to go down suddenly drew back, and then he was thinking for a while.

"I'm in a cold position, maybe it can solve the urgent situation." As soon as Yan Yu said it, he knew that he had lost his composure. Since ancient times, watching chess without saying a word is the way of a gentleman.

The young man in white froze for a moment, as if he had withdrawn from the grid world, turned his head in shock, looked at the chessboard for a long time, clapped his hands and shouted: "Wonderful! Wonderful!"

Immediately, a son was placed on the cold seat, and the sunspots surrounded him together, giving him a chance to breathe.

Only now did the young man in white think of Yan Yu, and he smiled and said, "It's General Yan."

Yan Yu replied: "It's the old man who talks too much while watching chess, and loses his composure."

The young man in white waved his hands and said with a smile: "The authorities are confused, if the general reminded me, I don't know how long I would have been confused."

"Anyone who plays two chess pieces by one person can still be fascinated, except for the chess master Nahantian, he will be your master."

The young man in white smiled and said, "The general is laughing at me. I've been waiting for a long time at Pang Baichuan."

"How did you know I was coming?"

Pang Baichuan didn't respond directly, but made a respectful hand gesture, signaling to chat next.

"The old man is disrespectful." Yan Yu sat down after saying that.

The two sides sat down and began to arrange the chessboard. When all the chess pieces were returned, Yan Yu raised his hand to signal Pang Baichuan to go first.

Pang Baichuan smiled and did not refuse. Heizi started the game with Tianwei.

"Master Pang hasn't answered the old man's question." Yan Yu followed suit.

Pang Baichuan still maintained a smile. From the beginning to the end, he had a smiling and welcoming Confucian attitude: "I know that the general will come, and I also know what the general is doing."

"Oh? I'd like to hear about it."

"Yushui City has fallen into the hands of the Yue army. The general is lobbying for General Qi, right?" Pang Baichuan replied calmly, as if he was talking about the chess game in front of him.

Yan Yu was startled, Bai Zi nearly fell, not only was Pang Baichuan aware of his purpose of coming here, but how did Pang Baichuan know the news of the fall of Yushui City? Judging by his calm composure, he obviously knew about it earlier than himself.

"Three Yuan soldiers travel three hundred miles a day. Even if Mr. Pang has spies at the border, he can't be faster than the three Yuan soldiers. How did Mr. Pang know?"

Pang Baichuan's smile remained the same, and he calmly said for a while, "The secret agent below is not at the border, but in Yue Kingdom."

Yan Yu smiled when he heard this, shook his head and said, "This is also unlikely."

"Oh, general, tell me why it's impossible?" Pang Baichuan looked away from the chessboard and looked at Yan Yu, asking with great interest.

"The spies sent by Sanyuan to Yueguo tried their best to imitate Yueren in terms of body shape, appearance, spoken language, and living habits. However, the spy flying pigeons were released seven days ago and they lost contact. This shows that these spies have long been targeted by Yueren. gone."

Pang Baichuan smiled calmly: "I have my own way, the light illuminates the front, and the rear will inevitably leave a shadow."

Yan Yu frowned slightly, he really didn't like this cloudy way of speaking, he is a warrior, he likes to talk about things, that's why he doesn't like literati.

Although he didn't like it, Pang Ku's closed disciple in front of him did give him a little surprise, calm and at ease, as if everything was in his expectation: "With the heart of a tiger and wolf, Mr. Pang, would you like to come out to help?"

Pang Baichuan shook his head with no emotion on his face: "I have little talent and learning, and I have no intention of going out, but if the general also likes chess, I am willing to accompany him."

Seeing Pang Baichuan like this, Yan Yu thought for a moment, picked up a word and said to Yu Zhiwei: "Yu Shui has been lost, where does Mr. Pang think Yue Jun's next goal will be?"

Pang Baichuan twisted his hands and smiled slightly: "I think Yue Jun's next step should be to worship the Water City."

Yan Yu didn't quite agree, and shook his head and said, "I don't think so. Once Enshui City to the west of Yushui is captured by Yue's army, then Fengshui City and Waishui City are like things in Yue's army pocket, and there is no barrier to defend." .”

"Although Xianna Enshui City has the potential to break the situation, there is also the risk of being raided by two sides. The Yue Army will not take such a radical approach once it is ten years old." Pang Baichuan retorted indifferently.

At this time, a blue smoke arrow pierced the sky with a bang, which was the unique signal for the king to call Yan Yu urgently.

Seeing this signal, Yan Yu hurriedly abandoned his son and stood up, cupped his hands and said: "This matter is urgent, Yan will come to ask Mr. Pang for advice someday."

Pang Baichuan also stood up and returned the salute: "Please go ahead, General."

Just when Yan Yu was about to leave, Pang Baichuan's voice sounded from behind: "General, I dare to assert that Baishui City may have fallen."

As soon as Yan Yu said this, he was shocked, he turned around and bowed with his fists in his hands, then hurried to the palace.

Pang Baichuan guessed correctly. After Zhong Lin led an army of [-] Yue to capture Yushui City, he didn't even have a rest.

In just one day, the two cities on the Jinxi border were lost. Qi Sheng's original plan to defend the two cities of Yushui and Baishui has been broken, and the situation is no longer conducive to Sanyuan.

Even though Yan Yu didn't like Pang Baichuan's literati very much, Pang Baichuan really surprised him, as if all the movements were under his eyes.

"Let's go, let's go to the courtyard again." Yan Yu quickly stepped on his mount when he left the palace. He had made up his mind to invite this young man out of the mountain no matter what.

　The previous behavior analysis of the judge "Big Silver Dragon Fish" has inspired me a lot. I also hope that if other judges find problems, they can directly comment or send them to me. I will definitely listen to the opinions seriously and responsibly. The attitude of raising children intensively makes this novel more perfect.
