Chapter 226: Lonely City, Do You Dare?

In Xijing City, Shen Hongfeng and others were studying in the tent how to fight this battle in order to gain the greatest chance of winning with the least damage.

Deputy General Dongfang Bo pointed to several nearby city gates and said seriously: "The Xirong tribe has united with the nearby Yuewei and Yueshi countries to have them constantly provoke these places to ensure that they have no chance to lend a helping hand to our Xijing City.

Therefore, our current West Border City is an isolated city."

General Song pointed to another location on the sand table and said, "Yucheng is the only city closest to us. If we send someone to ask them for help and reinforcements, will there still be a chance of winning?"

Shen Hongfeng frowned, his eyes fixed on the location of Yucheng, and shook his head slowly, "The general guarding Yucheng is from the Ye family. Even if we send people to ask for help, we must prepare for the worst."

General Song couldn't help but sigh, "It's ridiculous that the struggle in the court has even implicated innocent soldiers like us who are guarding the border.

If we really die on the battlefield in an honorable way, we will sacrifice our lives for our country. If we die in vain in these conspiracies and struggles, then we will die with regrets. "

Shen Hongfeng patted his shoulder and said, "Brother Song, don't worry. I will definitely lead you to win this battle."

General Song punched him on the shoulder and said, "Go to hell, I'm not afraid of death."

Dongfang Bo had a bitter smile on his face. Their West Border City's army had suffered too much damage in the previous war. Most of the recruits were new recruits who had never been on the battlefield. The Shen Family Army brought by General Shen had only tens of thousands of people. How could they fight against the Western Rong's army of more than one hundred thousand?

But they had to fight this battle, because if West Border City was lost, the enemy would go straight to Huanglong and aim for Jingzhou City.

If there was any peace talk, it was the Western Rong who first tore up the peace treaty signed with the Southern Qin Empire and started the war.

The messenger outside saw the Saker Falcon circling in the sky, and hurriedly blew the whistle and raised his arm to signal it to land.

The Saker Falcon stood obediently on his arm and called out twice.

The messenger quickly untied the small bamboo tube tied to its leg, and then asked the logistics cook to prepare some fresh meat for it to fill its stomach.

He took the bamboo tube and entered the main tent, "General Shen, this is the news from Jingzhou City."

After Shen Hongfeng opened the letter and read the message written on it, he decisively ordered: "Deputy General Dongfang, you take a small team to Yucheng for help, holding the small letter from the emperor. If anyone disobeys the order, kill them on the spot."

"Yes, I obey your command!" Dongfang Bo carefully put away the letter, turned around and left the tent.

Seeing him looking at her with a complicated look, Song Nian asked in confusion, "What did the letter say? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Shen Hongfeng handed him the note and asked in a joking tone, "Do you dare?"

"What's there to be afraid of?" Song Nian raised his eyebrows and glared at him, "But I'm very curious about who came up with this idea. It's really bold and exciting."

Shen Hongfeng thought about it carefully and said, "It's definitely not something that those old guys in the Ministry of War came up with. It does look a bit like my sister's style."

Song Nian looked at him in disbelief, "Didn't you say your sister is cute and well-behaved? How, how could you come up with such an amazing idea?"

Shen Hongfeng looked at him with an idiotic look in his eyes, "My sister is naturally cute and well-behaved, but this doesn't conflict with her being smart and clever.

Do you think that when the noble families joined forces to force the emperor to rebel, it was really His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and I who suppressed the rebellion?"

Song Nian's eyes widened even more. He really couldn't imagine how a weak woman could do it. "Okay, okay, I know your sister is very capable, so don't show off here." Song Nian was about to walk out, but was grabbed by Shen Hongfeng's collar.

"Where are you going so late at night?" Shen Hongfeng asked.

"Of course I should go ask the people in the Western Territory if there is anyone familiar with this snowy mountain!" Song Nian slapped him with his backhand, "You're almost going to be a father, why are you still touching a grown man like me?"

Shen Hongfeng opened the curtains and said, "It's dark. Even if you don't sleep, won't the people in West Border City sleep too?"

Song Nian scratched the back of his head and said, "Okay, okay, I'll go tomorrow morning, okay, General Shen?!"

Shen Hongfeng raised his foot and kicked him in the butt, "Fuck you."

The next morning, Song Nian got up early, then inquired from the Western Border City about the people who often appeared in the snow-capped mountains, and took them back to the main tent.

Although these honest men had a natural fear of these soldiers, they admired them from the bottom of their hearts. If it weren't for them, Zhixijing City would have been taken away by the Xirong people long ago, and their fate could be imagined.

Based on their fragmentary descriptions, Shen Hongfeng and others roughly grasped the basic terrain of the snow mountain, but they did not feel a moment of joy in their hearts.

Because the snow-capped mountains are steep, if they are bombed with explosives, the probability of the snow collapsing and an avalanche occurring is very high, but the person who ignites the explosives may never come back.

Suddenly, a man stretched out a dark finger and pointed to a location on the snow mountain on the sand table. "A long time ago, in order to save my mother's life, I went up the mountain to pick Tianshan Snow Lotus and accidentally fell into a cave. I thought I would die in it, but when I walked into the cave and waited to come out, I found myself on the north side of the snow mountain.

But after so many years, I don’t know if this cave is still there?"

Song Nian excitedly grabbed the man's hand and asked, "Brother, can you take us to this place?"

The man smiled innocently and nodded, "If you can use me, I will definitely be willing to lead you."

Shen Hongfeng and the others seemed to see hope, and bright lights burst out in their eyes.

The team that went up the mountain did not come back for almost a day and a night. Shen Hongfeng was so anxious that he kept pacing around in the camp, fearing that something might happen to them.

The soldier guarding the entrance to the military camp saw General Shen coming here from time to time and asked curiously, "General, are you waiting for someone here?
Do you want to tell us so that when the people arrive, we can send someone to report to the main account?"

Shen Hongfeng looked into the distance irritably, praying in his heart: Song Nian, you bastard, you must come back alive!
At dusk, the setting sun in the sky was as red as blood. Shen Hongfeng had not seen the figure returning yet. While walking back, he was thinking about who to send to lead the team to the snow-capped mountains to find people.

"General Shen, General Song has returned with his men——"

When he heard this, he turned around and ran outside.

The guarding soldier only felt a gust of wind blowing past and looked closely.

General Shen had already hugged General Song, cursing, "Song Nian, you bastard, are you planning to live your whole life on the snowy mountains?"

Song Nian smiled happily, "I'm back now, aren't I?"

I'm sorry, Tangtang fell asleep sitting on a chair last night, and woke up from the cold to find that it was already early in the morning O(∩_∩)O haha~
Today, I will make up for all that I owe to my children.
