Dynasty Conquest

Chapter 591 Raven Ridge

"Old Guan, don't complain, tell me, what will happen if the Hanhai people come around behind our Hezhong City?" Chu Ming, the head of the banner, could see the mentality of the officers and soldiers at a glance, he squatted down and asked with a smile .

Guan Shan, the battalion commander of the Third Banner, replied without thinking, "Then our River City will be surrounded..."

Seeing Guan Shan's sudden realization, Chu Ming patted him on the shoulder and said, "Our Duya Ridge is the throat. As long as we guard this place, the people of Hanhai will not be able to go around behind our Hezhong City. Do you think this place is important?" ?”

A smile appeared on Guan Shan's face: "It's important."

"Young Marshal handed over such an important place to our Sixteen Banners, that is trust in us, it is equivalent to handing over the back to us, do you think we can slack off?!"

"No, I know it's important here, but this war has nothing to do with us?"

Chu Ming smiled and said, "Why doesn't it matter?"

Guan Shan said dejectedly: "Lord Chu, you see, we are [-] miles away from Hezhong City. Even if this place is important, people from Hanhai may not necessarily come here. We still can't gain military exploits. After all, we are not Put on the edge of the battlefield, we can only watch the friendly troops eat meat, we can't even drink soup."

"That's right, Master Banner, the people of Hanhai won't come here at all, so why should we bother to build fortifications?"

"Master Chu, I think we can keep a banner camp here, and let's go over there to get some autumn wind?" Guan Shan suggested, pointing to the direction of Hezhong City.

Chu Ming looked at Guan Shan and said, "Okay, Lao Guan, since when did you dare to discount the orders of the young marshal, are you getting bolder?!"

Guan Shan smiled and rubbed his hands: "Isn't this for the sake of the brothers? The brothers are all looking forward to making meritorious service. You can't even drink soup here, and the brothers are also anxious."

Seeing Guan Shan's flattering smile, Chu Ming pointed at him and warned: "Old Guan, don't give me such crooked thoughts. The young commander asked us to stay here. Naturally, he has his reasons. Before receiving new orders , if anyone dares to play civet cats for the crown prince with me, and play tricks, don't blame me, Chu Ming, for being rude."

Seeing Chu Ming put on a serious face and move out the young marshal, Guan Shan, the commander of the Third Banner Battalion, knew that this time there was no way for them to make military exploits, so he immediately drooped his head in despondency.

Seeing the dejected Guan Shan, Chu Ming knew that it would be okay if they didn't untie their knots, so he leaned close to Guan Shan and said in a low voice: "Lao Guan, I won't hide it from you, my brother is an assistant in the Legion, he said Han Hai This time, the people gathered tens of thousands of people to attack, and 10% of us will encounter Hanhai people here, so you still worry about not having a battle?"

Guan Shan suddenly became energetic, raised his head and asked, "Really?"

"Why am I lying to you? This is real inside information. Don't spread it to me."

Chu Ming added: "Maybe the Hanhai people can't take down Hezhong City, and our place will become the main attack direction of the Hanhai people. Don't let me lose the chain at that time. If you lose the people of the Sixteen Banners, I will definitely not spare you! "

"I promise not to lose the chain!" After hearing Chu Ming's words, Guan Shan has become excited again. Since there is a battle, it seems that it is not bad to stay here. He stood up and promised loudly, which attracted the attention of the surrounding soldiers.

"Get ready, the Hanhai people are coming soon." Chu Ming patted Guan Shan on the shoulder mysteriously, stood up, and continued to inspect.

"Brothers! Let labor and capital move! Don't dawdle, build the fortifications!" Guan Shan felt as if he had been injected with chicken blood at the moment, and he was very excited when he thought that this place might be the main attack direction of Hanhai people. He has made military exploits, maybe after this battle, he can also get a warrior medal.

Seeing Guan Shan yelling, Chu Ming shook his head. He didn't have any gossip at all, and all this was just his speculation.

Lin Chuan built a large number of fortifications on the front line of Hezhong City. Chu Ming went to see them in person. Those fortifications are like iron walls. The Hanhai people will definitely not be able to chew on them. At that time, the Hanhai people will definitely find other breakthrough directions. Raven Ridge is definitely ushering in war, there is no doubt about it.

Standing on Raven Ridge, Chu Ming looked at the gray sky in the east. He hoped that his guess was correct. As a young officer who had studied in Zhanzheng College, Chu Ming, like other young generals, took Lin Chuan as an example, not only Not only is he brave in combat, but he also learned to think, because Lin Chuan taught them that a commander who can only fight and rush is not a qualified commander, and he is constantly learning to get closer to Lin Chuan.

"My lord, my lord, I have something important to report." While Chu Ming was in a daze, a panting Nanchuan soldier ran over from the foot of the mountain, seeing Chu Ming shouting hastily.

Chu Ming stepped forward with the guards and asked, "What's going on? Is the Hanhai people calling here?"

The visitor shook his head and said, "My lord, the people in Raven Town are unwilling to evacuate. No matter how much our chief of a thousand people persuades them, they won't listen."

Raven Town is located at the foot of Raven Ridge. It is a small town with a population of more than 2000 people. They rely on hunting and farming for their livelihood. Seeing that this place is about to become a battlefield, Chu Ming sent a team of [-] people to Raven Town to help the people transfer. But he didn't expect to be rejected by the people of Raven Town.

Chu Ming knew that the matter was urgent, and the people from Hanhai might arrive at any time. He would explain to the sergeant of the banner regiment, and immediately headed for Raven Town at the foot of the mountain with a few guards.

"We won't go, this is our home, and we won't go there either!" Before Chu Ming reached the entrance of the town, he heard people's voices of refusal from afar.

"But the people from Hanhai are about to call, and their lives will be lost, but they will lose everything." Nanchuan Qianren is persuading him earnestly.

"If you don't go, the ancestor's foundation, how can you just abandon it? Besides, even if the people from Hanhai come, we still have hunting bows. We are afraid of what he will do!" Facing the advice of the leader of Nanchuan Qianren, the townspeople did not listen to it at all. , determined not to leave.

Seeing Chu Ming's arrival, the sad-faced Chief of Thousands rushed up to greet him: "My lord, it's not good to do things in a lowly position..."

Chu Ming waved his hand and interrupted him, "It's not your fault, let me persuade you."

Chu Ming strode forward, seeing more than 2000 townspeople blocking the town gate with iron forks and hunting bows, he asked, "Where is the guard?"

"The guardian envoy escaped a long time ago." Someone replied.

Chu Ming continued: "Then who is the person in charge here?"

More than 2000 townspeople whispered to each other for a while, and there was a buzz, not knowing what Chu Ming was up to.

"I'm Chu Ming, head of Nanchuan No.16 Banner, please come and answer." Seeing the distrust of the townspeople, Chu Ming reported his family history.

After a while, just as Chu Ming was about to continue speaking, a trembling old man leaning on a cane stood up and bowed to Chu Ming.

"This old man is added as the elder of the Raven Town clan. I wonder what this General Chu has to teach?"

There was a smile on Chu Ming's face, since there was someone in charge, it would be easy to handle.

"May I ask the old gentleman to borrow a step to speak?"
