Early the next morning, the army broke out of camp and set off again.
An army of half a million people was arranged in such a mighty manner that one could not see the beginning or the end at a glance. The distance between the front army and the rear army could often be more than ten miles.
In this case, it is very dangerous. Once the enemy uses cavalry to make a sneak attack, the army without combat capability will be like a piece of loose sand, and will be slaughtered by the enemy at will.
You know, it takes a long time for an army to transform from a marching process to a combat process.
Armor must be worn, weapons must be prepared, baggage and food must be protected, formations must be arranged, etc.
It’s okay to have a small number of people, but the more people there are, the more time it will take.
This is why on ancient battlefields, once an army encounters an ambush or sneak attack, the side with the larger number is often defeated quickly.
Of course, the commanders on Nie Chen's side are all extremely good, and it is impossible not to be on guard. A large number of scouts are deployed, and the situation dozens of miles away can be clearly detected. There are also various scouts and shadow guards monitoring The enemy camp ensures that enemy troops will not appear around your own army.
Moreover, King Anton did not have a large-scale cavalry.
Gyeonggi County was still very safe. They successfully entered Wanggu County. After walking for another seven days, they finally arrived at Yuemen Pass.
The army set up camp, and the soldiers of the two regiments lined up outside the camp, ready to guard against the enemies inside the pass coming out for a sneak attack.
After all, the combat effectiveness of the army when setting up camp is not strong, and the enemy is likely to take advantage of this time to attack.
So someone still needs to be on guard.
The soldiers in each team have a clear division of labor.
Nie Chen took the escort, the commanders of the armies, and two thousand cavalry out of the camp and headed to Yuemen Pass to observe the terrain.
The entire Gyeonggi Province is a basin, surrounded by mountains.
There are high mountains on both sides of Yuemen Pass, which are very steep. There is no way for the army to go up. On the contrary, some people with better skills can use their mountain climbing experience to climb the steep mountain road and go up to check the terrain.
The scouts and shadow guards had already gone up and began to explore the terrain.
Nie Chen and others stopped in front of the Moon Gate and looked at the city wall.
Just like on the map, the city wall of Yuemen Pass is curved. There are some stairs outside the city wall, but they have long been smashed.
The two city walls at Yuemenguan are mainly for protection from the east.
On the east side, the stairs leading up to the city wall are on the west side, that is, inside the pass, while on the west side, there are stairs both inside and outside, making it easier to create a second ladder to guard against enemies coming from the east.
But after King Andong occupied Yuemen Pass, the main target of protection became the west side. They smashed the stairs on the west side, leaving only some traces of ruins.
Looking at the soldiers and flags on top of the city, Nie Chen smiled and said,
"Qian Anping is really impatient. He has only been emperor for a few days, and all the flags far away at Yuemen Pass have been replaced by his bullshit Anguo flag.
He didn't learn from Mingxuan's mistakes at all, yet he still wanted to proclaim himself emperor. "
Ouyang Ming smiled and said,
"It's not that he doesn't want to regret it, it's just that it's too late, and he didn't expect that Mingxuan would lose so quickly this time.
Originally, he was thinking of working with Mingxuan and King Jingshan to eliminate us and divide the world into three parts, or to continue the fight and decide a winner.
Then he announced that the world would be proclaimed emperor, but we entered the capital the day before he proclaimed himself emperor.
His dream of uniting with Mingxuan came to nothing, and the passage between him and King Jingshan was also blocked by us, and we even took the initiative to attack.
Now he has to face our army alone.
He is also riding a tiger and cannot get off. The news has been released, the emperor's dragon throne has been built, and the ministers all have dreams of becoming kings and marquises. If he says that he will not proclaim himself emperor, his prestige will be lost in an instant.
He can only bite the bullet and proclaim himself emperor. "
Hearing this, Nie Chen chuckled and said,
"What a fatuous monarch. I heard that the title of Anguo was given to him by Liu Jia. What a joke.
It’s not that I think the name of the country Anguo sounds bad, I just think that for such a big matter, we didn’t discuss it with the ministers, but we listened to a woman.
By the way, where is Liu Jia now? how's it going? "
Qi Huan immediately said,
"Ran."
"Huh? Ran away?"
Nie Chen said in surprise.
"Yes, that night, after Liu Jia gave advice to King Anton, a few days later, he sold all his property and headed south with cash. Judging from the direction, he should not go to Mingxuan, but should He said he was going to Qi State.
Our brothers risked their lives to intercept Liu Jia, but they were all killed by her Qingming Guards. We sent a small number of people there and have never fought. Please forgive me, Lord. "
"It's okay, she's just a little person, don't pay too much attention to her."
Nie Chen smiled and said,
"This Liu Jia is a very smart person. She must have known from that day that if King Anton could not succeed, he would definitely be defeated by me. She was worried that I would raid her home after I attacked Dongping County, so she Decisively evacuate to Qi State.
It's a pity that she took all the rich family property away. If she could snatch it away, it would be great to replenish military supplies.
Our Shadow Guard has to recruit people when we need them. Now that our family has a big business, we don’t need that little money. Don’t always have no one available when the time comes.
Next time, I don't want this woman to run away again.
Although my fiancée is a womanizer, she has a heart as vicious as a snake and a scorpion, and she is extremely smart. She might come up and bite me at any time, and bite seven inches of my body. "
"I obey my orders!"
Nie Chen rode forward and shouted towards the top of the city,
"Brothers on the wall, listen, I am Nie Chen, King of the North of Dafengzheng! This time I led the army to defeat the rebellious and traitorous King Andong, not to kill you.
We are all Feng people, Feng people don’t kill Feng people, I don’t want to see Feng people die.
I will give you one night. If you surrender in Kaicheng before tomorrow morning, I will spare your life.
Otherwise, if my army attacks the city with no eyesight, please don’t blame me for cutting your heads with my sword.
I hope you remember that you are Feng people, and your ancestors have been Feng people for generations, not some bullshit An people!
Your general, enjoying the glory and wealth, is willing to be a dog to the rebels, but you don't have to.
He also has two arms and two legs, and can be hacked to death with a single knife.
I hope you will not forget your ancestors and return to the rule of Emperor Dafeng as soon as possible! "
Nie Chen's words caused a commotion on the city wall, and the soldiers started talking, but they were quickly stopped by a burst of yelling and curses.
A general stuck his head out, pointed at Nie Chen and cursed,
"Nie Chen! You bastard, don't talk arrogantly. If you have the ability, come and give it a try. Our Yuemen Pass is a natural hazard, and even your hundreds of thousands of troops can't even think of entering!"
If you have the ability, fight and don't use your words. "
