Chapter 450 The War Is About to Begin
No matter what Chen Changan meant, tonight was destined to be restless.
The next morning, Chen Changan had just finished his breakfast when the soldiers sent out for reconnaissance came back to report.
"Master Chen, the latest news is that the Xixia army is less than 200 miles away from me and is expected to arrive in one day."
"Their vanguard has already set up camp sixty miles away!"
Chen Changan's face changed slightly, and Lao Ma was also very nervous.
Came so fast!
Yue Shan quickly opened the map and said, "Master Chen, if that's the case, I'm afraid the Xixia people will be able to reach the beacon tower before noon?"
"This is half the time earlier than we expected. How should we deal with it?"
Chen Changan shook his head and chuckled. Before he could say anything, another scout came in from outside the door. "Sir Chen, the commander of the Western Xia wolf tribe is named Weiming Yuanhao. He just sent us a letter of challenge, advising the guards of the beacon tower to withdraw from the beacon tower at noon today. The Western Xia wolf tribe is coming!"
"Also, we have spotted enemy scouts within a 10-kilometer radius. The situation is very tense!"
This Weiming Yuanhao obviously doesn't take me seriously. How could he come in so brazenly?
If it were in the past, Da Chu would only condemn, but now, the general of Da Chu is Chen Changan.
Chen Changan shook his head and chuckled: "Go back and tell Feng Gang and others to prepare for battle, and order Feng Gang to send someone to communicate with the enemy scouts and tell them to get out of the territory of Da Chu."
"I've warned them three times, and if they still don't leave, I'll beat them up."
The messenger nodded in agreement and went down to pass the order.
"Brother Yue, are there a lot of explosives buried in the beacon towers?" Chen Changan asked.
"Yes, they are all buried." Yue Shan nodded.
"Okay, I've told you all my plans, now it's time to execute them."
Chen Changan waved the feather fan in his hand, raised his eyebrows and said, "Always monitor our actions. Don't be careless. My life is in your hands."
Chen Changan was about to go to the beacon tower, but Yue Shan blocked the door: "Master Chen, I hope you will consider it!"
"You are in charge of the command of the right wing army. Everyone in the army looks up to you. How can you risk your life to lure the enemy? If you make a mistake, the army will be in chaos. What will happen to the battle?"
"Although I am not talented, I am willing to help you solve your problems. Why not let me take on the risk of luring the enemy?"
"I am familiar with the terrain here and I have some courage. I will definitely be able to lure the enemy into a trap. You can then command from the rear and keep my army safe."
"You? Your status is not enough."
Chen Changan shook his head and chuckled: "I am the commander of the right wing after all, and I have offended Zhishi. The Xixia people hate me to the core. Moreover, I am the current emperor's consort. I want to fish, how can you use leaves as bait?"
"If I show up at the beacon tower, the Xixia people will go crazy and will definitely attack me."
"Isn't this exactly what I planned?"
"But...if we lose, we still have another chance. If Master Chen dies..."
"No nonsense."
Chen Changan went up and kicked him: "I just said yesterday that I have a wife and children, how could I die here?"
"As for you, obeying orders is a soldier's duty. Get out of here right now!"
"If you don't fight well in the second battle, I will peel off your skin!"
Chen Changan glared at Yue Shan fiercely, and Yue Shan knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face.
Beacon tower to guard the border.
When you see the beacon tower, it is like a resolute ancient warrior, silently guarding this vicissitudes of life land.
The strong wind whistled past, blowing up a sky full of yellow sand, which rushed towards the beacon tower in layers like surging yellow waves.
Yellow sand filled the air, blurring the vision. The bricks and stones had long been eroded by the wind and sand, but they still held on tightly together, stubbornly holding their positions.
The wind shuttled between the pillars, making a whistling sound, as if telling the bravery of the soldiers guarding the border for thousands of years. The flag fluttering in the wind, although dyed yellow by the sand and dust, was still dancing unyieldingly.
It demonstrates the indelible protective spirit of this land, and together with the yellow sand all over the sky, it forms a majestic and tragic frontier picture.
Liu Baizhong is the general of the Ruishi Camp. The Ruishi Camp is somewhat useful, so Chen Changan transferred him over.
"Chen Dare, I still think... our two thousand sharp arrow battalions and one thousand reckless young men are enough here. You don't need to come here in person."
Liu Baizhong wiped the dust off his face and tried to persuade Chen Changan: "Go back first and wait for our good news!"
"Get lost, I'm already here, I don't want to talk about this."
"But……"
Chen Changan waved his hand and stopped Liu Baizhong from continuing speaking. Instead, he let Lao Ma push him to the beacon tower.
The beacon tower was not big, barely accommodating more than 3,000 soldiers. Everyone standing here knew they were going to die, but they were still smiling.
When they saw Chen Changan, they also became a little anxious.
"Master Chen, what are you doing here?"
"Fighting the Xixia people is a matter for us lowly people. How can you, with your worth of millions of dollars, come here?"
"Master Chen, hurry up and leave, the Xixia people are coming!"
Everyone is persuading!
Chen Changan became furious when he heard this and said sternly.
"Assholes! What nonsense are you all talking about? When did Chen Changan become the man worth a million dollars that you are talking about?"
"I am your comrade, a brother who fought bloody battles with you!"
"I am not a noble person. You have all read the Chujiang Daily and know my origins. I am just an ordinary pariah!"
"On this battlefield where life and death are at stake, how can there be any distinction between high and low?"
All the generals shook their heads. Chen Changan continued, "I tell you, whoever dares to persuade me to leave today will be a son of a bitch!"
"Although Chen Changan is a businessman, he also knows what loyalty, responsibility, and friendship are!"
"I will never retreat at this moment. Even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, I will fight side by side with my brothers and live and die together. If you mention letting me go again, don't blame me for turning my back on you!
Chen Changan's words were firm and powerful, and spread instantly.
The sound was like the ringing of a huge bell, every syllable was clearly audible, and it echoed firmly and powerfully all around.
brothers!
These two simple words quickly spread among the crowd. From the vanguard fighters in the front row to the soldiers in charge of defense in the back row, everyone was chanting this cry!
The sound became louder and louder, gradually gathering into a powerful wave!
The whole world knows their determination to fight side by side as brothers!
"Brothers, look at your feet, where is this place?" Chen Changan's body had recovered. He stood up and tied a steel knife to his arm.
"Beacon tower!" The soldiers responded to Chen Changan.
"Wrong, it's the beacon tower of our Great Chu!" Chen Changan corrected.
"This is not a good place. If it weren't for this military uniform, we might never have set foot on this land in our lifetime."
The biting cold wind cut his face like a knife, but he ignored the stinging feeling.
Gazing at the thousands of ambitious warriors in front of him, his heart was filled with lofty sentiments, and his words penetrated the howling cold wind and were clearly heard by everyone.
"This is the territory we are protecting with our blood and sincerity!!"
He suddenly raised the steel knife in his hand, and his shouting mixed with the wind and snow, just like the sound of passionate war drums, stirring the hearts of the soldiers.
"We swear by our loyalty and courage - those who invade our land will never return!"
“Kill, kill, kill!!”
Countless soldiers shouted in unison, and their boiling passion suppressed the howling wind and snow!
"Tap, tap, tap!"
Looking into the distance, a dull sound came from afar!
That's the sound of horse hooves trampling the ground madly!
Twenty thousand Xixia people rode their vigorous war horses and galloped freely across the vast grassland.
Their figures surged like a raging black tide, and like a swarm of locusts covering the sky and the sun, sweeping in with a terrifying momentum.
The dust raised by the horses' hooves filled the air high, as if covering the team with a layer of turbid sand, making their approach seem even more ferocious and overbearing.
The earth trembled under the heavy trampling of the horses' hooves, making a low groan of pain, as if in fear of the coming storm.
The deafening sound of horse hooves was like the beat of a death-threatening drum!
Lao Ma's eyes suddenly turned red: "Master, the battle... is about to begin!"
