Chapter 979

The rear was attacked.

how so.

Heles asked sharply: "How many enemies have come, and what is the loss?"

The soldier replied: "About three thousand cavalry."

"They killed our brothers in the reserve battalion and set fire to our rear camp."

"After seeing the camp burning, Master Hyde led his troops to rescue it, but... died in battle."

The soldier added one last sentence.

"And our food and grass have all been burned."

Hearing that not only people died, but the camp was burned, and even the last food and grass were gone, Heles' eyes went dark, he staggered, and almost fainted.

A military officer was afraid that Heles would fall, so he hurried up to help him.

Hailes shook off the officer's hand, grabbed the collar of the messenger soldier with a grim face, and asked, "When did that nasty cavalry appear?"

The soldier was terrified, and said falteringly: "When our elite soldiers are marching."

"puff."

Heles' blood surged, his chest felt tight, and a mouthful of old blood spewed out.

One wrong step, one wrong step.

It turned out that from the very beginning, he had been in the enemy's calculations.

"ah."

Heles only felt his brain explode, and then he yelled, rolled his eyes and fell to the ground.

All the officers rushed forward to rescue him, but found that Heles had died of exhaustion.

"This... this, how could this happen."

Everyone looked at each other, trembling, not knowing what to do.

Someone murmured, "What should we do now?"

Everyone else was silent, and they didn't know what to do next.

Someone said: "Why don't we withdraw, isn't that what your lord said before?"

No one objected to his words.

"Yes, yes, I will withdraw immediately."

Having made up their minds, everyone hurriedly prepared to summon the army to leave.

But at this moment, the originally closed gate of the new city opened, and a group of soldiers rushed out.

"Kill."

When the officers in Hecheng saw it, they panicked.

"Oops, run."

Good guy, as soon as they saw troops coming from Xincheng, these officers didn't care about anything, they abandoned all the soldiers, turned around and ran away with their own soldiers.

The officer ran away, and without the leader, the Hecheng soldiers suddenly became at a loss.

A snake can't move without a head, and without a leader to command, the soldiers in Hecheng are naturally like loose sand, swallowed by the torrent pouring out of the new city.

When the Hecheng soldiers were almost at the front, they subconsciously resisted once or twice, but when they got to the back, they found that all the officers above them had run away, and their morale plummeted. During this period, the Hecheng soldiers gave up their resistance one after another.

Compared with the soldiers who surrendered and survived, the fleeing officers were not so lucky. On the way to escape, they encountered 3,000 cavalry led by Jimo and Wenren.

And under Chen Fang's special instructions, the two women followed the instructions and completely ignored the surrender of the Hecheng officers, and killed all of them.

In this regard, Xincheng won the victory, killing more than 10,000 enemy troops and capturing more than 80,000 people. The battle ended.

After the war, Xincheng held a celebration banquet to celebrate the victory.

Chen Fang once again became the protagonist of the banquet.

However, because Chen Fang got drunk last time, the good celebration banquet was not enjoyable. This time, everyone didn't let Chen Fang drink, and they drank fruit juice instead.

At the banquet, everyone was very enthusiastic towards Chen Fangna, and in terms of tone and attitude, they were a bit more respectful than they were towards Gong Xiaobai.

Because everyone knows that after this battle, no one can replace Chen Fang's position in Xincheng.

In the face of everyone's flattery, Chen Fang remained indifferent. After coping with it for a while, he stopped communicating with others on the grounds that he was too drunk.

Overwhelmed?

You're drinking juice, right?

But the people present were also sensible, knowing that this was an excuse, so they didn't bother Chen Fang anymore.

This made Chen Fang heaved a sigh of relief.

"You really don't grasp such a good opportunity to communicate." Charming walked to Chen Fang's side and said.

Chen Fang's prestige and status are very high in the hearts of everyone in Xincheng, but he still lacks a sense of identity.

This sense of identity does not refer to ability, which is beyond doubt.

Rather, it refers to a sense of relationship identity like that between colleagues.

Apart from communicating with a few of their acquaintances, Chen Fang basically didn't have much contact with Gong Xiaobai's subordinates.

Yu Mei very much hopes that Chen Fang can strengthen this aspect, it will benefit him in the future.

"I'm not familiar with them. What can I communicate with? I'm too tired to deal with it." Chen Fang said.

Charming shook her head helplessly, but she didn't say anything else, so as not to annoy Chen Fang.

"After this war, we have 80,000 more captives here, and I plan to plant parasitic beans on them all." Charming said.

Chen Fang shrugged, and said indifferently: "Why do you ask me about this matter, if you want to plant it, plant it."

After speaking, Chen Fang picked up something from the table with his chopsticks, rinsed it in the hot pot in front of him a few times, and ate it into his mouth.

Seeing this, Charming grabbed Chen Fang's chopsticks and said:

"Don't eat it for now. I'm suffering from a headache. I'll ask you for an idea on how to use these captives."

Chen Fang didn't have chopsticks, and he was unambiguous. He could still pick up and rinse things with his two fingers. The temperature in the pot was just a trivial matter to him.

Charming looked speechless, and returned the chopsticks in her hand.

"Did you hear me, give me an idea."

Chen Fang naturally heard it, and said with some surprise: "Is there anything difficult to deal with, where is there a shortage of people, and where is it."

"Now that the new city is initially completed, although there are still many places that need to be built, we don't have enough resources right now. If we can't rush, we can only build slowly. Even if arrangements are made, there will still be a lot of people left."

Most of the infrastructure in the new city has been completed now. Because of limited resources, large-scale construction is no longer possible, and it can only be done bit by bit.

"Then let them farm and mine."

"It doesn't take that many people."

Chen Fang thought about it again, but he couldn't think of anything, so he could only say: "Then I have nothing to do."

Charming instead said: "I have an idea, but I need your help."

Chen Fang was surprised: "What can I do for you?"

"I want to form a new army with 30,000 people, and you will be the commander of this army." Mei Mei whispered.

Chen Fang shook his head quickly, forming a new army was a good idea, but the commander refused to do it.

"Don't ask me for this matter, you let someone else do it, I think Dusi is very suitable."

Charming immediately shook her head, "His ability is limited, I don't feel relieved to let him come, but I am relieved to let you come."

Chen Fang felt relieved after hearing this.

"Don't worry if it's me, I don't usually say that I'm unreliable in doing things."

"That's something else. In the military, I can rest assured that you can do anything." Mei Mei said solemnly.

This can be viewed separately.

Although Chen Fang was very happy to be recognized in the military, he still refused.

"Don't do it, you have to manage so many people, you want to exhaust me to death."

This really needs to be taken care of, Chen Fang himself will definitely follow the Blue Star Army's way, there are many complicated things, which are contrary to his salty fish attributes, and he costs money for every move, which makes Chen Fang even more resistant.

Seeing that Chen Fang disagreed desperately, Mei Mei rolled her eyes, winking like silk, and said coquettishly: "If you promise me, then I will let you hehehe."

Chen Fang heard what was caught on the chopsticks and fell to the ground.

Do you want to be so direct, or do you want to be so tempting?

grunt.

But he likes it.

Chen Fang swallowed subconsciously, "Don't lie to me, I am very simple and will take it seriously."

Charming smiled, "Don't you know who I am, I never regret what I said."

"Snapped."

Chen Fang clapped his chopsticks, stretched out his hand and said, "One word from a gentleman is hard to follow."

Charming was also straightforward, she reached out and patted Chen Fang's palm, "What you say is what you say."

Chen Fang was so excited that he immediately stood up holding his charming hand.

"Walk."

"Where are you going?"

Charming and puzzled.

"Hey hey."

Chen Fang's eyes lit up.

"Hey, you're so big, you don't do anything, you just think about good things."

Charming punched Chen Fang on the head.
