Chapter 727 (1/2)
After a night's rest, the new army set out again and went directly to Nanjun. With the help of the snake intelligence network, we don't have to worry about ambush. This is the first time that the snake ministry has played an official role in war. Chen Ren only uses one sentence to describe it. It's really convenient.
Not far away from Nanjun City, although it was still early, Chen Ren ordered to set up camp on the spot. Then there was a fierce battle. All the soldiers were on a long-distance attack, which was not suitable for fighting immediately.
The Sergeants are busy setting up camp, but Chen Ren rode alone to the small hill beside the camp, where you can see the South County City in the distance.
Looking at the flag of ”peace” flying in Nanjun City, Chen Ren couldn't help but feel a little trance. The soldiers behind him were all trained by Chen with either hand. How many people will survive tomorrow's war? At this time, Chen Ren couldn't help but think of Xie He and the face of the famous soldier who died in the defensive war in Yuzhang. Since that war, Chen Ren has tried to avoid casualties in every battle. This idea has also been instilled into the thinking mode of students such as sun CE and Zhou Yu. However, in the battle tomorrow, casualties are inevitable, which makes Chen Ren regret to participate in the battle.
”Zici, what's the matter?” From behind came the voice of Zhao Yun's concern. Since the first World War in Huaiyin, although Zhao Yun was still reticent, he was much better than when he just arrived in Jiangdong.
Chen Ren looked back with a smile and said, ”elder martial brother, do you think people will become ghosts when they die?”
Zhao Yun was stunned by Chen Ren's question, but he, who grew up with Chen Ren since childhood, immediately guessed Chen Ren's worries. He drove his horse to Chen Ren's side with a lonely look. He also looked at the South County City in the distance and suddenly said, ”Zici, do you remember how many enemies you killed?”
Chen Ren didn't expect that Zhao Yun would suddenly ask this question. First, he was stunned. Then he tilted his head and thought about it. Finally, he said with a wry smile, ”I can't remember, there are tens of thousands of people who died in my hands.”
Zhao Yun said with a smile: ”I'm not much different. When we were playing mud in Zhaojia village, did you ever think that we would become a bloody butcher now?” With this, Zhao Yun suddenly sighed and read: ”the picture of the land of Zeguo entering the war, the living people he Jile, Qiao su. With the emperor's words, the marquis will be successful, and his bones will be withered. Zici, the poem you wrote at that time, I've only understood its meaning a little now. ”
Chen Ren can't help but blush. Where is his poem! At that time, it was his unintentional poem, which was heard by Zhao Yun. However, Zhao Yun thought that the artistic conception of the poem was very heroic and liked it all the time. If you read it again today, you can feel the desolation and helplessness in the poem.
After a heart to heart talk with Zhao Yun, Chen Ren's heart lightened some of his burden. This is a troubled time, and human life is as thin as paper. What Chen Ren wants to do is to put an end to this troubled time as soon as possible and return the world to a peaceful world.
After a good night's rest, the soldiers got up the next day. They were all full of energy. Last night, Chen Ren didn't care whether the Yellow turban army in Nanjun city came to attack at night. First of all, the Yellow turban army occupied an absolute advantage in terms of military strength, and there was no need to take dangerous moves. You should know, the famous battle of Jiangdong army was to win the battle by using Huaxiong's night attack under Sishui pass. Secondly, even if the other side came to attack at night, the Scouts of the snake department were more effective than the Scouts of the new army.
Chen Ren led the four battalions of the new army, head high and head high, heading for the target city of Nanjun. The Yellow turban army, which had known the movement of Chen Ren's army for a long time, also moved out of the city slowly. Chen Ren roughly estimated that there were about 300000 men and horses in the city. Obviously, the other side left 40000 men and horses in the city in case of unexpected accidents.
Three hundred thousand troops! A full 300000 people spread out, that dense head, from a distance, is really spectacular! No more than a large number of people may not be useful. At a distance of tens of miles from the enemy, Chen Ren also launched an array. According to the previous arrangement, the thunderstorm cavalry led by Zhao Yun occupies two wings respectively. The Shandao camp of LV Meng stands in the center, the Feixing camp of Ding Feng is behind the Shandao camp, and the Longjiang camp is separated behind the thunderstorm cavalry under the leadership of Ling Cao.
With the sound of war drums, the formation of the two sides has gradually taken shape. What the Yellow turban army has put forward is a very simple square array, which is the simplest and the most able to give full play to the advantage of the number of people. The sound of war drums stopped suddenly, but it did not mean that the war had begun. Several horses suddenly came out of the Yellow turban army. Pang Degong, who had met Chen Ren once in Xiangyang, was the leader.
When Chen Ren said that it was really him, a yellow turban soldier next to Pang Degong roared: ”Pang Gong, the great virtuous teacher of the heavenly army, would like to invite General Chen Ren, commander of the Han Army, to answer in front of the battle!”
