Chapter 855: The enemy is attacking us?
Outside Kunlun Pass, the Yan army set up camp and made a fire to cook.
Ruan Weiba, the commander of the Shenji Battalion of the Tianyu Army, inspected the military camp in a haughty manner, then sat on the gun carriage to eat, holding a bowl of stew with more meat than others and a rice ball in his hand.
"Bah, what a combination! It's hard to even get a steamed bun in this place."
Ruan Weiba muttered in dissatisfaction.
A soldier nearby said,
"Commander, you're eating it wrong. Stew is good, and rice balls are good, but if you mix them together, they won't taste good.
Don’t make rice balls, just make rice, half a bowl of rice as the base, and half a bowl of stew on top, it’s delicious.”
"Nonsense! Rice and stew are incompatible. Stew and steamed buns are the perfect match."
"I just can't stand the way you Kundi people eat. We old Yan people love to eat Northeast rice."
“But you eat southern rice.”
"hey-hey."
The soldier took two bites of rice and then asked,
"Commander, have we heard from above? Are we going to fight or not? Tonight or tomorrow?"
"I don't know. Damn, it's not certain whether the general knows about this kind of thing, let alone a small commander like me."
Ruan Weiba rolled his eyes and ate his rice in big gulps.
"Don't you know the prince and the emperor? You have a say in front of them. Why don't you go and ask?"
Hearing this, Ruan Weiba threw the rice ball into the stew bowl, freed his right hand, slapped the soldier on the back of the head, and shouted angrily,
"You son of a bitch, you want to kill me? I'm going to the general's tent to ask His Majesty and the prince about such a military and national matter?
This is not the way to commit suicide. Being arrogant because of favor is a big taboo. The prince values me because I am sensible.
I, Ruan Weiba, have no special abilities. I became the commander only because of the prince's favor. If I really try to die, the prince's sword will not recognize anyone.
You dare to say anything? If you keep on talking, I'll lose your job."
At this point, Ruan Weiba glanced at the soldier and said,
"Why are you so concerned about this? Are you a spy for the enemy country?"
"Brother, I joined the army earlier than you. I stay in the camp every day, so how can I be a spy?
The enemy country just wants to bribe people. Who the hell would bribe a soldier? They would bribe you, but they wouldn't bribe me."
"That's the truth!"
However, at this moment, a horn sounded outside the camp, followed by someone shouting,
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Assemble! Assemble quickly!"
Hearing this, Ruan Weiba threw down his bowl and yelled,
"Enemy attack, assemble the Shenji Battalion, pull all the artillery over and aim them to the west, the enemy is coming from that direction!"
Under the command of Ruan Weiba, the soldiers of Shenjiying immediately put down their bowls, pulled their artillery and ran westward.
The other soldiers also gathered and prepared to fight.
From a distance, Ruan Weiba saw their commander Yu Huatian and Southern King Ma Ling rushing over, gathering troops on the west side of the camp to defend the camp.
He hurriedly ordered people to deploy artillery behind the wall, and then rode his horse quickly towards Yuhuatian.
"Marshal! Marshal, the Shenji Battalion has assembled and is ready to fire at any time. How many enemies are coming!"
Yu Huatian turned his head and saw that it was Ruan Weiba. His eyes were filled with joy and he said,
"Good job, Ruan Weiba."
"Your Highness, the Southern King, the Divine Machine Battalion is preparing very quickly. We can defend first, bombard the enemy, avoid their sharp edge, and wait until their fighting spirit is exhausted before charging forward and killing them."
"I want to avoid his edge?"
Ma Lingyan was a little displeased.
"Your Highness, don't forget we have a big battle tonight. The soldiers have been traveling all day and need to rest."
Ma Ling thought for a moment and said,
"Then let your men rest. There are only 20,000 enemy troops."
"Someone, go back and tell Zhang Han to bring 10,000 Zhennan troops!"
"Your people, defend first."
"As ordered!"
Yuhuatian breathed a sigh of relief.
Arrange defense quickly.
He also didn't know what the enemy was thinking, why they sent 20,000 people to attack a camp of hundreds of thousands of people.
If he wasn't afraid of wasting his energy, he would definitely lead his troops to attack and destroy the enemy without leaving a single piece of armor.
"Ruan Weiba, you go command the Shenji Battalion and bombard the enemy."
"Little man obeys!"
Ruan Weiba now understood what was going on. It turned out that there were 20,000 enemies.
But what does it mean when there's a big battle at night? It's so hard to guess.
Ruan Weiba returned to the place where the Shenjiying was stationed and shouted,
"Artillerymen, get ready and fire when the enemy approaches. Musketeers, go forward and fire through the camp's fence!"
"The damn Qian people dared to come and attack us. They are so rebellious."
"Teach them a lesson."
……
On the top of Kunlun Pass, Yuan Song stood high up, looking at the Yan army camp two miles away, which stretched as far as the eye could see.
"Marshal, why did you send 20,000 of our men to die?"
The deputy commander beside him asked in confusion.
Yuan Song said expressionlessly,
"First, boost morale and tell the Yan army and the enemy that we are not cowards who avoid fighting, and our goal is not just to stop the Yan army, but to defeat it.
Second, try to see if you can take advantage of their unstable foothold to burn their food supplies.
Thirdly, it is also to test whether the Yan army will attack us at night."
"Ah? Can this be tested?"
“Of course, if they wanted to attack at night, they wouldn’t send troops to encircle us, but would just defend and save their energy for the night attack.
If they had no plan to launch a night attack, they would have sent troops to fight and destroy this army.
Therefore, our army will not be able to sleep tonight and must be ready for battle."
"You are so handsome and wise!"
The deputy commander couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
On the battlefield, Ruan Weiba stood on a high platform, watching the enemy rushing towards them.
The enemy had two corps, one on the left and one on the right, each with a general's flag.
Ruan Weiba looked at the flag of the corps on the left, estimated the enemy's position and marching speed, quickly jumped off the platform, then calibrated a cannon, loaded the shells and fired them out fiercely.
Whoosh!
The shell flew out directly, drew a parabola in the sky, and hit the enemy's general's flag.
As we all know, the general flags are always following the main general, which is the position information of the main general, and the artillery shells are range attacks.
That cannon shot directly shattered the enemy's main general, his flag, and the surrounding soldiers on the spot.
"The general is dead! The general is dead!"
The soldiers shouted and panicked.
Ruan Weiba climbed up the platform again, took a closer look, and was overjoyed. He smiled and said,
"Hey, it's me, I killed a general with one shot!"
"Brothers! Fire and kill those bastards!"
Ruan Weiba, the son of luck, roared and fired. Soon, the Yan army's shells flew everywhere and hit the Qian army hard, knocking them to the ground.
Under the command of another main general, the Qian army finally rushed to the main camp and launched a fierce attack on the Yan army camp.
