Chapter 269 Sending Apprentices to Support Rongcheng
The distance between Kaoshan Village and Jingyang City is about 450 kilometers. If calculated at normal speed, it will take at least a certain amount of time to reach this distance.
However, with the help of this extraordinary goshawk, Chen Qingxin and his team reached a towering mountain outside Jingyang City in less than 25 minutes.
Just as they were taking a short break, a spy that Jun Haoxuan had sent out in advance returned as fast as a bird, kneeling on one knee and reporting:
"My lord, Jingyang City has unfortunately fallen into enemy hands.
After the enemy broke through the city, they launched a brutal massacre.
Afterwards, they left a quarter of their troops to guard the city, and at the same time used prisoner carts to escort thousands of injured and captured soldiers of the Dashun Army, including Sun Bowu, towards the southeast.
According to my subordinates’ deduction, their next target of attack is most likely Qingzhou, which is guarded by General Sun Bowen.”
Upon hearing this news, Jun Haoxuan frowned, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, and he immediately asked:
"So where have they arrived now?"
The spy respectfully reported: "My lord, about thirty miles southeast of the city, there is a large-scale Yan-Wei coalition army with more than 100,000 people, marching towards the southeast.
The army was dressed in uniform, all wearing special uniforms made for the Yan-Wei coalition.
They were holding all kinds of extremely sharp weapons in their hands, and they were coming at them with unstoppable force.
The spearhead of the attack is undoubtedly directed at Gyeongju!
At the same time, another spy also hurried over to report the latest situation to Jun Haoxuan:
"My Lord, after an in-depth investigation, I have learned that the Yan and Wei countries had clearly planned this incident in advance and had been planning it carefully for a long time!
They even managed to keep their military uniforms in sync, which shows how sinister their intentions are!
If they could really capture Gyeongju City within three days.
And take advantage of the situation to seize strategic locations such as food and material warehouses in our Qingzhou city.
By then, our army will be in a desperate situation and unable to move forward or backward!"
However, facing such a serious situation, Jun Haoxuan just sneered:
"Haha, with these little tricks played by these clowns from the Yan-Wei coalition, do you dare to show off your skills in front of an expert?
In this prince's eyes, it's not worth mentioning at all!
In my opinion, they are simply courting death, they are tired of living!"
"Haoxuan, we are facing a powerful enemy, so we should quickly come up with a specific action plan and not let them harm anyone again.
In addition, will the 10 coalition troops have already attacked Rongcheng?" Chen Qingxin said worriedly.
Jun Haoxuan nodded slightly in agreement:
"That's true! This possibility is very high.
Even if the enemy army does not attack Rongcheng immediately, it will definitely delay the Li family army stationed there and prevent them from coming to reinforce the two cities of Jingqing."
Chen Qingxin stared at everyone with a firm gaze.
Then he proposed his own well-thought-out strategy:
“Therefore, we must adopt a strategy of dividing our forces.
On the one hand, an elite team can be sent to quickly support Rongcheng and strengthen the defense there.
On the other hand, a part of the troops need to be arranged to block the enemy's advance eastwards.
If we allow the enemy to break through Qingzhou, it will be equivalent to opening a huge gap in the western part of Dashun State, and the consequences will be disastrous! "
"What a brilliant idea!"
Hearing this, the four brothers, East Wind, South Wind, West Wind and North Wind, looked at each other at the same time.
Then, they all knelt on the ground, kowtowed and begged:
"Master, Master, please allow the four of us brothers to go to Rongcheng to support General Li Xingguang!"
Their voices were powerful, full of determination and courage.
Jun Haoxuan frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.
After a moment, he slowly turned his head, his eyes fell on Chen Qingxin, and asked: "
Xin'er, what do you think of this plan?"
Chen Qingxin nodded solemnly:
“This is indeed the most feasible option at the moment.”
After some discussion, Jun Haoxuan finally decided to send the four brothers Dongfeng, Nanfeng, Xifeng and Beifeng to Rongcheng to fight alongside General Li Xingguang.
At the same time, he, together with Chen Qingxin, Sun Liqiao and the three secret guards who accompanied them, were responsible for preventing the enemy from advancing further eastward.
Chen Qingxin also thinks this arrangement is very good:
"That's great! After all, South Wind, North Wind, and West Wind have all met my uncle once before, so they shouldn't suffer any misfortune if they go there.
The four of you please stretch out your hands. I, the master, would like to give you a few things you can rely on.”
Bei Feng smiled happily upon hearing this, showing his big white teeth, and said with narrowed eyes:
"Master, I wonder what you want to give us this time?"
He thought to himself that what his master had given him must be something extraordinary and good.
The other three were also full of anticipation, staring at Chen Qingxin with burning eyes, waiting for her gift.
Chen Qingxin took out four rings and a silver needle:
"Line up and raise your index fingers. Those people have hot weapons, and I'll give you some too. If they dare to attack the city, you'll beat them to death!"
"We will follow your orders!" the four young men said in unison, their voices sonorous and powerful.
They extended their right index fingers without hesitation, their eyes determined and full of expectation.
Chen Qingxin held the silver needle and skillfully and deftly pierced the finger of each young man one by one.
I saw drops of bright red blood flowing out from the gap, as if containing endless power and vitality.
Then, Chen Qingxin carefully put the mysterious ring on their broken fingers.
In an instant, a miracle happened - the blood seemed to be attracted by an invisible force and was quickly swallowed up by the ring.
In the blink of an eye, the ring disappeared without a trace as if it had evaporated.
South Wind, North Wind and West Wind have been following their master for more than half a year and have witnessed all sorts of amazing and magical skills performed by their master.
Therefore, faced with this amazing sight, they did not show too much surprise, but secretly admired the master's superb skills and unfathomable depth.
As for the key points of using those hot weapons, as elites carefully trained by their masters, they naturally also received repeated and rigorous special training.
Now that they finally got this ring that symbolized their special mission and glory, the four of them couldn't help but feel extremely excited, their eyes moistened, and they almost cried out loud: "Thank you, Master!"
This gratitude is beyond words. It not only comes from respect and gratitude to Master, but also represents that they are about to shoulder greater responsibilities and missions.
In the days to come, they will go all out to live up to Master's expectations, safeguard justice and defend peace.
Chen Qingxin solemnly warned:
“You must ensure your own safety. If the situation is urgent, you can conduct special training for reliable generals.
With just the four of you, even with powerful thermal weapons and equipment, I'm afraid it would be difficult to withstand the fierce attack of a 100,000-man army, as surging as a tide."
