Chapter 837 Must be fast

"Master Yelu doesn't know." Peng Chuan suppressed his anger and explained to the other party: "The defenders in Shanling Pass have been fighting for many years and have rich experience in defending the city. In addition, their commander's command style changed drastically today, and an unknown powerful weapon appeared in the city. It is precisely because of these that we have not been able to achieve much today. Once I figure out the situation in the city and get familiar with their weapons and command style, I will naturally be able to break through Shanling Pass."

"I don't know? I know everything!" Ye Luzhen said: "You are incompetent, these are just excuses! You have an advantage in siege equipment and numbers, but you fought a mess. In the final analysis, you are incompetent! No wonder your Black Water Kingdom has been like that for so many years. You are all incompetent. It's strange that your country can be strong! You are only worthy of being a subsidiary of our Shuiyue Kingdom!"

Ye Luzhen's words were not polite. He obviously didn't mean to take Peng Chuan's face into consideration. The sarcasm was very obvious.

Peng Chuan's face flushed, partly because of shame and partly because of anger.

However, as a general of Heishui, he did not dare to offend Yelu Zhen, who was a member of the royal family of Shuiyue. Even if the other party pointed at his nose and mocked him, he could only bear it.

"I don't want to know any reason. Within three days, you must break through Shanling Pass, otherwise, I will let your emperor of Heishui punish you severely!" Yelu Zheng stood up and faced Peng Chuan with an arrogant attitude: "Before you went to the expedition, I believe your emperor should have told you that you must take down Shanling Pass as soon as possible. I hope you can do it yourself. If you really don't have that ability, you can consciously give up the position of the commander to someone who is capable."

"For example, me!"

After saying that, Yelu Zhen looked at Peng Chuan seriously, and then strode out of the tent.

"This idiot, bastard!" After Yelu Zhen left, Peng Chuan dared to vent his inner dissatisfaction and anger in his own tent.

This is the sadness of being a vassal state. Although Peng Chuan is a high-ranking official in Heishui State and his words carry a lot of weight, he is nothing in front of Yelu Zhen, a royal family member of Shuiyue State. He dares not say a word when being scolded as a grandson. You can imagine how depressed he is.

Three days, only three days!

If the commander in Shanling Pass still has the same command style as before, and there are no weapons with such powerful power, with the power in his hands, Peng Chuan thinks it will not be a big problem to break through Shanling Pass in three days.

But now, he is not very sure.

But Peng Chuan also knows that this matter cannot be delayed. Their emperor did ask him to break through Shanling Pass as soon as possible before he went on the expedition, and then march straight to the imperial capital of Nanping State.

All this is because of the request of Shuiyue State.

After Wu Ya ascended the throne, he flatly refused to pay war reparations to Shuiyue Kingdom, and seemed to be full of hostility towards Shuiyue Kingdom. In response, Shuiyue Kingdom naturally had to respond and deal with Nanping Kingdom, and the sooner the better, so that it could have the effect of establishing its prestige. Otherwise, if Nanping Kingdom was fine, wouldn't Shuiyue Kingdom lose face? In the future, other small and medium-sized countries would follow suit. How could Shuiyue Kingdom lead the surrounding countries and intimidate other big countries?

Therefore, Nanping Kingdom must be dealt with, and the harder it is, the better, and it must be done quickly.

However, because Shuiyue Kingdom took Yanfeng Kingdom into consideration, they could not send troops directly, but could only ask Heishui Kingdom, which bordered Nanping Kingdom, to send troops. However, Shuiyue Kingdom did not do nothing. They supported Heishui Kingdom with a large number of siege equipment and food, and secretly sent a team dressed as Heishui Kingdom soldiers to mix in Heishui Kingdom's army.

In short, Shuiyue Country is very determined to quickly destroy Nanping Country. If Pengchuan really delays too long, Shuiyue Country will definitely be dissatisfied.

"It's a headache." Pengchuan sighed.

His country is not strong enough, so it can only become a pawn in the hands of the big countries, without any autonomy. At this time, Pengchuan admired Wu Ya's decisiveness. It was not easy for a girl to make such a decision to leave the two big countries.

Of course, Pengchuan only admired Wu Ya's courage in his heart, but he didn't think Wu Ya was right to do so. Being sandwiched between two big countries, but wanting to not surrender to either side, is this possible? Whether it is Shuiyue Country or Yanfeng Country, I'm afraid they would not want to see this scene.

Therefore, Wu Ya's behavior is a way to death.

"Let's think about how to break through Shanling Pass. It's useless to complain more." Pengchuan sighed again, gave up the idea of ​​eating and resting, and took out the underworld and began to study the method of siege.

On the other side, Wu Fan stayed in Shanling Pass until dark, and then was teleported back to the real world again. Just like yesterday, before teleporting, he specifically told Mu Han and Pei Yu to pay more attention to the movements of the enemy outside the city and the whereabouts of Chen Yufei and others in the city. If there are enemy troops attacking the city at night, they don’t need to call him, Pei Yu can directly command.

After the instructions, Wu Fan teleported back to the real world with peace of mind.

Shortly after Wu Fan teleported back to the real world, a team of cavalry arrived at the outskirts of Shanling Pass, looking dusty. They looked at the heavily guarded city wall in front of them and couldn't help but frowned.

"Sir, what should we do?" One of the cavalry asked the leader.

The leader looked at the patrol soldiers on the city wall in front of him, frowned and said, "It seems that the people of Heishui have already attacked. I didn't expect them to move so quickly. It seems that we are still a step behind."

He looked at the sky and said, "When it's late at night, we will sneak in. We must do what the master told us to do."

These cavalrymen are the guards of Cai Cheng's mansion. They came all the way here, and they wanted to enter Shanling Pass before the army of Heishui attacked the city. However, when the war started, they took advantage of the chaos to kill Wu Fan.

But they didn't expect that the army of Heishui was so fast and had already attacked. The entire Shanling Pass was in a state of war and was heavily guarded.

If it was an ordinary mission, they could go through it openly, but they could just shout to open the city gate. With their identity as guards of Cai's mansion, it would be no problem for them to enter the pass, even though Shanling Pass was already in a state of war.

But their mission this time is to assassinate Wu Fan, who is now the most favored person by His Majesty the Emperor. Although Cai Cheng wants to kill Wu Fan very much, he dare not be too ostentatious, so he tells these guards to keep their identities secret and not let Wu Fan's death be linked to him, Cai Cheng.

Therefore, these guards can only choose to sneak in secretly.

Fortunately, these guards are elites and very skilled. As long as the timing is right, they are more careful and sneak into the pass secretly.

After everyone made a decision, they quickly turned over and dismounted, looking for a place to rest and recuperate. They were very tired all the way here, and they had to sneak into the pass at night, so they had to recuperate first.
