Preston Chen's Mirror of Eternity Chapter 2

Dexter Chen agreed and whispered: "Military advisor, will Bram Yang really come out?"

"I will definitely do it." Alden Chen said, and immediately added, "This person is not an ordinary person. Be careful not to be tricked by him."

Alden Chen, whose courtesy name was Jiye, was originally Zuocheng, Shangshu of Nanchen. Eleven years ago, in the third year of the Southern Chen Zhenming Dynasty (589), with Jin Wang Yang Guang as the commander, the Sui soldiers went south in a large scale and attacked the Chen capital Jiankang in one fell swoop. They captured Chen Shubao alive, and the Chen Dynasty ended. Alden Chen was in chaos. Escape. In the past eleven years, he, general Dexter Chen and consort Quentin Xu had not worked hard to restore Nanchen every day. Summoning the exiles and contacting the survivors, an army of more than 10,000 people has been raised so far. To this day, this should be the last army in the Central Plains under the banner of Nanchen. As the last survivor of Nanchen, Alden Chen worked hard to preserve this last spark of fire in the vast darkness, and it was not until recently that he really raised the flag. In Alden Chen's plan, if Jiankang City is captured in one fell swoop while Jiankang's defenses are currently empty, using this old capital of Chen as the foundation, he will surely be able to respond to a hundred responses, and Chen's survivors from all directions will come back.

This is a ray of light in the dark night and their only chance. However, the person guarding Jiankang now is Bram Yang, the Yue King of the Sui Dynasty. As the founding hero of the Sui Dynasty, Bram Yang would definitely not take it lightly. Alden Chen's team of more than 10,000 people was approaching Jiankang, and Bram Yang must have already received the news. Alden Chen's plan was to lure the enemy with a small force and set up an ambush for most of them. When the heavy troops in the city attacked, he would snipe the enemy's main force here, and then capture Jiankang City in one fell swoop. This is a very careful and feasible plan, but now the soldiers have arrived at the gate of Jiankang City, and the ambush has been set up for two days, but the expected Sui soldiers are still missing.

Does Bram Yang deserve his name? Alden Chen couldn't help but put his fingers between his eyebrows and rub them. impossible. He clearly remembered that at the time, Bram Yang was strong and strong, taking the lead, and marching southward like a broken bamboo. More than ten years of peaceful life would not allow this sharp knife to wear out its edge so quickly. However, no matter what, now is a God-given opportunity to take down Jiankang. Once this opportunity is lost, he will regret it.

While he was thinking, a horse suddenly appeared at the foot of the mountain.

That's a messenger. When the messenger arrived in front of Alden Chen, he was out of breath, but he still said hurriedly: "Commander Chen, General Chen, Prince Consort Xu is here to report that the enemy troops have arrived at the camp gate!"

This news shocked both Alden Chen and Dexter Chen. After being stunned for a moment, Dexter Chen was the first to shout: "Impossible!"

In the past few days, he had been monitoring the developments in Jiankang City. If there were troops moving out of the city, he would not be able to detect it. But now the fact is that the enemy army has arrived in front of their camp without anyone noticing. They originally wanted to ambush them, but they were caught off guard instead. For a moment, Alden Chen had a premonition of defeat in his heart. He looked at Dexter Chen and said in a deep voice, "Go and have a look!"

Quentin Xu, the consort, said that his official position was for the prince. Although he ran with them, he was not a soldier after all. If the Sui soldiers were to attack now, Prince Consort Xu would definitely not be able to sustain it. At this time, even Alden Chen was a little panicked.

As soon as they arrived in front of the camp, their consort Quentin Xu came to greet them. Dexter Chen didn't care to say more and asked: "Consort Xu, where are the enemy troops?"

"We are only about 400 steps away from our army."

More than four hundred steps, that's just a short distance. Dexter Chen was stunned and said: "Impossible! Could Bram Yang's army be invisible?"

Quentin Xu had a look of confusion on his face and said, "General Chen, according to reports from the scouts, the enemy's total number of troops..."

Dexter Chen was already anxious and asked: "How many are there in total?"

"There are more than twenty people in total."

Alden Chen and Dexter Chen were startled again. If Quentin Xu said that the enemy army numbered tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, they would not be so surprised. Only sending more than 20 people, could it be that Bram Yang was also using a tactic to lure the enemy?

"It must be to lure the enemy!" Dexter Chen already said. But Quentin Xu's face was still full of doubts: "But, the scout said that the leader of the enemy army was none other than Bram Yang." He paused and then said, "There are even women and children."

Even Alden Chen was confused this time. What on earth is Bram Yang planning? It is indeed possible that he did not know where he was ambushing and sent a small group of troops out to explore the road, only to encounter his own side on a narrow road. But it was impossible for Bram Yang to explore the route himself, let alone bring out women and children. What on earth does he want to do?

Dexter Chen said: "Commander, no matter what Bram Yang is thinking, let people attack!"

Perhaps this straightforward approach is the best approach. No matter what Bram Yang's plan was, if he could be captured with lightning speed, it would be easy to take down Jiankang City. Alden Chen felt that it was difficult to resist the temptation of this idea, so he nodded and said, "Okay." But deep in his heart, there was a sudden uneasiness.

Could it be that Bram Yang knew about that? Is this why he came?

Seeing the horse in front stopped, Bram Yang, the Duke of Qing Dynasty, also reined in the horse and said in a deep voice: "Tuo'er, what's wrong?"

Sitting on the horse in front of him was a young man wearing a hooded cloak with a childish look on his face. Hearing Bram Yang's question, the young man turned his head and said, "Master, there is murderous intent ahead."

It must be Alden Chen. Bram Yang thought to himself. Bram Yang actually respected this enemy more than he hated him. More than ten years after the country's subjugation, they are still unyielding and never turn back. How many people in the world are so fair? To be fair, Alden Chen was well-equipped in both civil and military affairs and was truly a prime minister, but Bram Yang also knew that this person would never be used by the Sui Dynasty. If you can't use it, kill it. He remembered what his elder brother Yang Jian said.

Brother Jiye, the best respect for you is to hang your head on the top of Jiankang City. Thinking of this, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he turned to a woman behind him and said, "Princess, I hope your brother can escape this disaster."

This woman is beautiful, and although Bram Yang is very polite to her, there is always a trace of sadness in her expression. She raised her head and looked ahead, and whispered: "Thank you, sir." Although she said this, there was no gratitude in her tone, as if she had ignored everything.
