Chapter 52 Promotion
Chen Dahu thought for a while and realized that he really couldn't do it. He was a peasant who changed his career halfway and had only learned how to lead troops and fight for a few months. He was indeed not as good as General Cheng. "Indeed, I can't do it."
Seeing that he understood, Chen Fei was relieved. After all, it would be troublesome if someone around him was confused. Although Da Hu was impulsive, he was able to listen to advice. "General Cheng is the commander of the city. It is most appropriate to hand it over to him. But don't be sad. Learn from him and he will send you there when there is a chance." This General Cheng was the commander of Zhongzhou City. When Chen Fei and his party attacked, they took him in because they saw that he was capable. However, it seemed that this person was loyal to him at the moment, so he was still wary of others.
"Okay, Brother Chen, I'll listen to you." Chen Fei is also a capable person. He studied for a few years when he was a child and was raised by his widowed mother. He has a strong personality. When the drought happened, he watched the world where the strong prey on the weak. He developed the world to the present with his own strength, which is enough to show his ability. Moreover, he knows how to use people well.
General Wang was currently in the military camp, discussing with his fellow soldiers, "What do you all think?"
"General, our army will arrive in three days. It is very likely that Chen Fei and his men will launch a surprise attack in the next few days." This is indeed a good opportunity for them to launch a surprise attack at this time.
"But our chances of winning are not small. They are organized by the people and cannot be compared with us who are professionally trained." Another general stood up and retorted.
"General, you still have to be careful these days," one of the soldiers suggested.
"Well, give the orders. Stay on guard for the next few days and wait for the army to arrive." It's better to be safe. I didn't expect Chen Fei to notice it so quickly. It seems that he should not be underestimated.
The next night, it was Gu Chengze, Qin You and the others' turn to patrol. The patrol was simple: they circled the garrison to see if there were any strangers. "Hey, the army will probably arrive tomorrow night. It seems that if they want to launch a surprise attack, it will be tonight."
"Yeah." He didn't say much, his eyes alertly looking around. Suddenly, the sound of "crackling" was heard, and there were some subtle rustling sounds. He stopped and listened carefully.
Seeing him stop, I thought something was wrong with him. I looked around with a wary look and asked him, "What's wrong?"
"There is an estimated enemy attack. Report it quickly."
Seeing that he looked serious and didn't seem to be pretending, she nodded immediately and said, "Okay, be careful."
After seeing him leave, he turned around and looked at the dark area in the woods not far ahead, and silently drew his sword.
In the woods, the people who were about to give orders saw Gu Chengze standing there motionless and looking towards where they were hiding. They knew that he had discovered them, but since he was alone, he didn't care. "Go!"
"Charge. Charge." A group of people ran towards Gu Chengze with weapons.
He held the sword and looked at the people coming from the front with a firm look in his eyes. He rushed forward with the sword and stabbed the person closest to him in the chest. He kicked the person close to him away with his feet, displayed his lightness skills, jumped into the air, swung the sword, leaned forward and rushed down, killing a group of people directly. At this time, the sound of weapons clanging and screams could be heard all around. As he watched the fire grow, a bloodthirsty light flashed in his eyes.
Gu Chengze charged forward with his knife. These people were no match for him. Furthermore, he had been practicing martial arts non-stop for the past six months, so killing people was as easy as cutting melons. When Qin You and his men arrived, they found that a large number of people had already fallen. And judging by the battle situation ahead, anyone who got close to Gu Chengze would fall. Qin You was stunned, and not only him, but also the people who came to assist him were also wide-eyed. Did he still need his help? He couldn't help but ask.
At this time, Qin You came back to his senses, "Charge, we can't let him take all the credit, go!" Everyone came back to their senses, yes, we can't let him take all the credit alone, "Charge!" Since Gu Chengze was alone, he had already killed a large number of people. Now with the addition of more people, the enemy was defeated and fled in panic.
Seeing those people fleeing, they wanted to chase them, but Gu Chengze quickly stopped them, "Don't chase a desperate enemy. We are not familiar with this place, so don't chase blindly. Go and assist somewhere else." Although the battle was over here, it was not yet over elsewhere, so they should go. After all, these people were really abominable. They attacked the enemy in the middle of the night, damn it. Without saying a word, everyone headed straight for the place where the battle was not over yet.
That night everyone knew Gu Chengze's name. Before, they knew him because he saved the general, but now they knew him because of his strength. Everyone looked at his unstoppable figure, leaving no grass growing wherever he went. For some reason, blood rushed into their hearts. Someone said, "Charge!" This aroused everyone's blood boiling, and they all picked up their swords, "Charge!" This battle aroused the passion of the vanguard camp, but it soon subsided, and the day broke.
After the battle subsided, General Wang counted the battlefield and found that fortunately there were not many casualties. He watched Gu Chengze come forward and gave an order to the crowd: "From now on, Gu Chengze will be promoted to centurion!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone applauded. General Wang's move not only promoted Gu Chengze and convinced the soldiers, but also told everyone that if they wanted to get promoted and make money, they just had to kill the enemy.
Qin You leaned next to Gu Chengze and nudged him, "Hey, brother, I can rely on you from now on." As a centurion, he had the right to assign his own men.
"Then you have to behave better next time." This guy is used to being lazy.
"Oh, don't worry, Centurion Gu!" He even stood at attention. This action made him laugh.
At night, the army arrived and ordered to rest on the spot and let the cooks prepare delicious food. General Wang took the centurions, thousand-man commanders, ten-thousand-householders, and other ranks of soldiers to the tent to discuss the attack on Zhongzhou Prefecture tomorrow. Gu Chengze was among them. General Wang planned to attack Zhongzhou Prefecture tomorrow while the morale was high. After this battle, he also understood the opponent's strength and found that the opponent's strength was not to be feared, so he took this opportunity to formulate a battle plan.
"Alright, everyone, hurry back and get some rest. We'll mobilize our troops to attack Zhongzhou Prefecture tomorrow morning." General Wang stood up, raised a bowl of wine, and toasted the generals. "Tomorrow's battle, we'll definitely win!"
Everyone stood up and raised their glasses. "We must win!" They drank it all in one gulp.
When everyone returned, all the Wan Hu, Du Si, and other people with higher positions than him came to greet Gu Chengze. The military camp would not submit to others except those with strength. Gu Chengze sensed their kindness and responded to their kindness and started chatting. This was not difficult for him.
When I returned to the military tent, I saw Qin You there too, "Why are you here?" He was now a centurion and had his own tent.
"Hey, you're living alone in a tent, so I'm afraid you'll be lonely so I can keep you company."
