Chapter 1349 Reinforcements have arrived

bump!

Wu Fan casually waved his palm and knocked down a rebel who had just climbed to the top of the city. The rebel had gone through many dangers before he finally climbed to the top of the city. He had a ferocious look on his face and was preparing to attack. There was a mass killing on the top of the city. As a result, before he could see clearly what was happening on the top of the city, he was hit hard on the forehead. Then his vision went dark and his body fell backwards.

"ah!"

The soldier let out a scream, and this scream was the last sound he left in this world.

clang clang clang.......

After the soldier fell to the top of the city, the sound of banging clangs was heard in the camp outside the city. This was a signal to retreat. The rebel soldiers who were charging towards the top of Fengyu City began to attack after hearing the sound. Retreat backwards.

Naturally, the people on the top of the city would not give up this opportunity to kill the enemy. Arrows flew out from the top of the city, chasing only the rebels.

However, the city gate was not opened, and the only ones chasing the rebels were these arrows. The soldiers at the top of the city did not rush out of the city.

"Sir, the rebels have retreated." Chen Wende came to Wu Fan's side again, wiped the blood on his face, and said as he looked at the rebel soldiers who were retreating outside the city.

"Cai Cheng's determination to conquer this stormy city seems to be stronger than we thought before." Wu Fan said as he looked at the corpses on the ground at the top of the city.

It was already approaching evening, and Cai Cheng's army had been fighting from morning until now, attacking the walls of Fengyu City countless times, from the camps outside the city, to under the walls of Fengyu City, to the top of Fengyu City. , there are corpses of rebels everywhere, and of course, there are also the corpses of the defenders in Fengyu City. It is not an exaggeration to say that corpses are everywhere around Fengyu City at this time.

Originally, both Wu Fan and Chen Wende thought that Cai Cheng's initial attack would not be too fierce. The first day's attack was mainly to touch the base of the defenders in the city. However, they did not expect that the first day's battle would , it was so fierce. On the first day, the rebels outside the city rushed to the top of the city several times, and even occupied an area on the top of the city. Fortunately, Wu Fan went there in person, and then the rebels who occupied the top of the city were That small group of people was wiped out, and control of the city was regained.

"Yes, the battle on the first day was so fierce, I'm afraid the following days will be difficult." Chen Wende said with a serious face.

At this time, Chen Wende admitted that he had slighted Cai Cheng before.

Chen Wende had some knowledge of Cai Cheng before, but his knowledge was not detailed enough. After all, there was a huge status gap between the two. One was the Minister of the Ministry of War, in charge of the Nanping Army, while the other was just a middle- and lower-level general in the army, leading the troops. There were not many opportunities to fight. He only had some understanding of Cai Cheng through his own inquiries and some things he heard. This understanding cannot be said to be wrong, but it is indeed not detailed enough.

At this time, Chen Wende realized that although Cai Cheng liked nepotism and hegemony, he still had the ability. Otherwise, the other party would not have been able to stand out from so many generals and sit in the position of Minister of the Ministry of War. Perhaps, he had been the Minister of the Ministry of War in these years. The days have somewhat sapped the vigor of his youth, but his abilities have obviously not completely disappeared.

Today, outside this stormy city, Cai Cheng once again showed off his former battlefield style.

Chen Wende secretly reviewed in his heart that he would never be so one-sided or careless in judging someone in the future.

At this moment, Chen Wende became more calm.

"Sir, when will our reinforcements arrive?" Chen Wende looked at Wu Fandao.

Wu Fan smiled and said, "What? In today's battle, did your General Chen lose all his courage?"

Chen Wende did not avoid this question, but said with a face full of shame: "Sir, the general did underestimate Cai Cheng before and despised his opponent. This is a taboo for a general! But I am in such a critical position in Fengyu City I made such a mistake during the battle, and I cannot escape the blame. Please punish me."

"There is no need for punishment." Wu Fan said with a smile: "After all, we have not been defeated, and this Wind and Rain City has not been breached. We gain wisdom every time we suffer. As long as General Chen remembers today's loss, that will be enough."

To be honest, even Wu Fan had never thought of the combat effectiveness displayed by Cai Cheng's army. In fact, his impression of Cai Cheng was similar to that of Chen Wende, so he was not qualified to blame Chen Wende for being careless.

"Thank you, sir." Chen Wende expressed his thanks with a cupped hand: "It's just that Cai Cheng's rebels are attacking fiercely, and they still have internal support in this city. If our reinforcements are delayed, I'm afraid this Wind and Rain City won't be able to defend it for too long."

The troops in Fengyu City have been sparse for a long time, and some of them are even on the battlefield for the first time, but Cai Cheng's troops have shown such strength. In addition, there is Cai Cheng's internal agent, Chen Wende, hidden in the city. It is not unreasonable to worry about the city being forced.

Now the only thing Chen Wende can expect is reinforcements. Otherwise, with the existing troops in the city, it will be very difficult to block the rebel attack. Although the city will not be captured immediately, it will never be able to persist for three years. more than months.

"The reinforcements have actually arrived." Wu Fan looked at Chen Wende and smiled.

As the actual commander of the city's troops, Chen Wende was also qualified to know that the Shanling Pass defenders had arrived at the palace. Wu Fan had no intention of keeping it secret.

"What? The reinforcements have arrived? Where are they? Where did the reinforcements come from? How many people are here?" Chen Wende was surprised when he heard Wu Fan's words and asked again and again.

"General Chen, please come with me." Wu Fan said to Chen Wende: "You will know when you get to the place."

Chen Wende was still waiting to ask, but Wu Fan had already turned around and left. Chen Wende immediately ordered the troops at the top of the city to guard the troops outside the city while cleaning the battlefield. Then, he also walked a few steps quickly to catch up with Wu Fan.

"Sir, this seems to be the direction we are going to the palace." Chen Wende couldn't help but said to Wu Fan while riding on his horse.

Originally, when Chen Wende heard Wu Fan say that the reinforcements had arrived, he thought that the reinforcements were outside the city. After all, he had always been commanding the garrison at the top of the city, and on this day, no troops entered the city. If the reinforcements were really When it comes, it can only be stationed outside the city.

But what surprised Chen Wende was that Wu Fan did not sneak out of the city with him, but headed towards the palace. Until he saw the majestic gate of the palace, Chen Wende finally couldn't help but ask the doubts in his heart.

"You are right, this is indeed the direction to the palace." Wu Fan said while riding his horse: "The reinforcements are in the palace at this time."

Fengyu City occupies a large area, and there is still some distance from the city wall to the palace. In order to save time, Wu Fan naturally chose to ride a horse.

Of course, the horse he was riding was just an ordinary horse, not his own magical horse that could transform any means of transportation.
