Riding and cutting the imperial pirates of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 303 The Undead

"How many people are hidden in Liuhe Mountain?"

After Wang Zheng calmed down, he remembered something again and couldn't help frowning slightly.

"Liu Bei's army ambushed halfway, so he sent more than [-] men." He paced with his hands behind his back, muttering to himself, "How many are left now?"

This question is critical.

First of all, after this ambush, nearly a thousand of my [-] celestial troops were lost, and after removing those who were seriously injured, there were less than [-] soldiers capable of fighting.

At this time, there are also many soldiers who have lost their strength after fighting for a long time. It is impossible to directly take advantage of the victory to pursue and immediately climb the mountain to attack the stronghold.

If the other party still has men and horses left on the mountain, it doesn’t need to be many, only 2000 people are needed, the mountain road is rugged, and traps are ambush.
But my own family has to trek against difficulties from top to bottom, I am afraid that I will suffer heavy losses again.

"General," the ancient sword on the side scratched his head and said, "Before Yuan Jun's sentry rode and scouted horses, there were only five or six thousand people in Tangyi City. No matter how many ambush soldiers there are in Liuhe Mountain, it should be impossible to exceed this number. If there is a share, Tangyi is the place that really matters."

"According to the general's opinion, this ambush on the opposite side has been exhausted."

"I hope so." Looking at the terrain near and far, Wang Zheng pondered for a while, and then ordered his left and right: "Go and call the adjutant of the Tianzhu Camp."

Not long after, a man walked into the tent with his personal guards. He was full of energy and energy. He clasped his fists and said in a loud voice: "The last general pays his respects to the general."

Wang Zheng looked around and saw that he was wrapped in armor and helmet, and the armor was stained with blood. He said with a smile: "Today's great victory, you and the brothers in the camp have made great contributions, and it is considered a face for your major!"

"Thank you, General." The adjutant patted his head foolishly, a little embarrassed.

"However, most of the brothers were exhausted after fighting hard last night." Wang Zheng said, "The next step is to prevent the Guangling army from killing their carbine. The intention of this general is to let the rest of the ministries set up camp and repair immediately."

After a pause, he continued in a soft voice: "You will lead the guards of the Tianzhu camp to the left and right, but can you still hold on?"

There is no way, there is still energy left, and there is only the second and third ranks of the Tianzhu Camp.

"The general entrusts you with an important task, and the villain is not very honored." The adjutant patted his chest and said: "Not to mention the guards, even if we are asked to kill the enemy again, we still have the courage!"

"Haha." Wang Zheng nodded in satisfaction, and then stared at him for a while, seeing that the blood on the lieutenant general's body seemed to be left by the enemy, and he couldn't find a single wound on his body. !"

"The battle is so intense, and you're actually unscathed?"

The Gu Jian on the side interjected after hearing the words: "The general doesn't know, the last general chatted with the brothers in the battalion before, and only then did he know that Lao Yang is a well-known and blessed general in the Heavenly Army. No matter how difficult and dangerous the battle was, it didn't scratch the slightest bit of flesh."

"Fortune General?" Wang Zheng was dumbfounded, he really looked like Wu Sheng, he couldn't help laughing, his loud laughter pierced the silence of the battlefield, startling some flying birds that were pecking at flesh and blood.

"Soldiers are fierce and wars are dangerous, sometimes luck is the most important thing." He nodded to the lieutenant general and said, "Bring the wine!"

"Today's hard work and victory, drink three cups to the full!"

"One respect to Huang Tian, ​​two respects to the sons of the whole army who fought hard, and three respects to the heroic spirits of the righteous brothers!"

After half a day of hard work, not only the Tian army was exhausted, but the Guangling army who retreated did not return.Wang Zheng was still careful, and sent out dozens of horses, and let them out ten miles away.

The Qingming moon rose into the sky again, the camp was hastily set up, and Wang Zheng was very tired after dispatching the night watchmen. He insisted on patrolling the camp and condolences to some infantry. This monster-like physique also felt top-heavy for a while, and he barely managed to return to the handsome tent and fell asleep.

The chirping of insects in summer became more wanton in the wild, mixed with the occasional neighing of war horses in the distance, waking Wang Zheng up from his sleep.

He wandered around, at this time it was not yet dawn, and through the tent, he could vaguely see the gentleness of the night.

The soldiers on watch at night beat the watch drum for the third watch, and the sound of hurried footsteps came from outside the tent.Two or three barely audible whispers, insisting on refusing to rest, the ancient sword in front of Hu Wei's tent tiptoed to the outside of the tent.

"General?" he called softly.

Wang Zheng got up in his clothes, walked out of the tent under the moonlight, and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Report to General." Gu Jian cupped his hands and said, "Shouchun sent a messenger over, saying that there is an urgent military report?"

Glancing at the person, Wang Zhenglue recalled that it should be one of Yuan Shu's personal guards, and his heart couldn't help but move.

Why did the Skeleton King's personal guard come here as a sentinel?

He joked with a smile: "What? Could it be that the other troops have already finished their work, and Yuan Zhoumu sent you to supervise the battle, urging us to hurry up?"

"Report to the governor of the king." The messenger gave a wry smile when he heard this, and said in a low voice and hastily: "The state shepherd sent a villain to send an urgent report from eight hundred li!"

The gentle night suddenly became golden and iron.Wang Zheng raised his eyebrows and shouted directly: "Speak."

"Not long ago, Zhao Xun's troops led [-] units, and they broke through Dongcheng, Gaoshan, and Huailing in one go. Lieutenant Zhao Xun stepped forward to fight against the general, and was cut off by the enemy general within three rounds, after which our army retreated!"

That bearded Zhao Xun is dead?
Then Mrs. Fan is no longer a widow?
For some reason, this inexplicable idea sounded in Wang Zheng's mind at the first time, and he was shocked immediately.

Whether Zhao Xun dies or not is none of his business, but what if Yuan Jun was defeated directly in Tongguo along the way.
"Follow me into the account." He didn't have time to think about it, and directly ordered the guards: "Spread out the map immediately!"

Then he turned his head and told Gu Jian:
"Here's an order to let those who are above the commander-in-chief in the army gather in my tent with a cup of tea!"

"Here!"

After scrutinizing it for a while, Wang Zheng snorted coldly, and couldn't help cursing inwardly, Zhao Xun is such a useless trash!
After Yuan Jun was defeated and won a big victory, Liu Bei must go all out and let the main force of the army be placed in the south of Xiapi, which means that
My connection with Yangzhou along the way will soon be cut off!

What does this mean?The lone army went deep!
He glanced at the messenger, thought for a while and said, "How many soldiers are left on the way to Xiapi?"

"Ten thousand people up and down."

"Have you returned to Yangzhou, or are you still staying in Xiapi?"

"Before the villain came, Zhou Mu had already decided to send another general to gather up the remnants and prepare for another battle!" The messenger said: "Zhou Mu ordered me to come here, and also told the governor Wang that he must take down the town as soon as possible!"

Still need him to say?

Wang Zheng's face sank like water, he nodded and said: "I know naturally, but Guangling is different from Xiapi, not only the army has assembled at the front, but Tangyi and Liuhe Mountain have their own parts, and they are horns of each other. We also encountered the enemy's midway ambushes, although we won the victory, the soldiers were also tired, if we don't rest for a while, the attack on Liuhe Mountain is not very sure."

"If Liuhe Mountain is not captured, the enemy will watch from behind. Neither this general nor General Ji dare to attack the city with all their strength, let alone capture it as soon as possible?"

"How about Jiangdong?" Zhao Xun was so useless that Wang Zheng didn't have much confidence in Sun Ce, so he couldn't help asking, "Do you know?"

"General Exorcist, Huwei!" Hearing this, the messenger seldom smiled: "The road is like a broken bamboo, and we have already invaded the hinterland of Wu County!"

Wang Zheng let out a sigh of relief, that's good, at least there is still a retreat in the southeast.

He completely forgot that his family had beaten people and slapped people in the face. If they really retreated there, it would be hard to say that they would meet Sun Ce.

Just as Wang Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, he turned his head and complained repeatedly.

No wonder Sun Ce disapproved of Yuan Shu later on. From this point of view, Yuan Shu's generals, except for the little overlord, are completely capable of fighting.

For Guangling's side, if he hadn't joined by himself, let alone whether the general of Tangyi was Zhang Fei, or if he hadn't, based on the fighting power shown by the ambush army this time, if it wasn't for his own preparations and the bravery of the heavenly army under the system Unmatched, in the words of Ji Ning.
There is a high probability that there will be more bad luck than good luck.

Not to mention Zhao Xun.

Wang Zheng really felt that this person was extremely stupid, and he could be useless.

If you can't fight alone, then don't go up, I don't say you are looking for death, the key is that you are so useless!
The chief general being beheaded by the crowd would hurt morale, and it was even more troublesome.
Didn't make it through three rounds?That was really a complete downfall of soldiers and horses.

Walking around in the tent twice, Wang Zheng glanced at the messenger: "You have to pass the news, the general will know about the change, did Ji Junwei find out?"

"The villain came to the governor's way first." The messenger said.

"Then I will trouble you to make another trip and inform Commandant Xia Ji." After thinking for a while, Wang Zheng ordered, "Bring me a word for him by the way."

"Please tell the governor."

"If you meet someone who wields a spear, start a fight." Wang Zheng said, "Let Jijun Lieutenant not be brave like a man!"

Donghai County, Tancheng, Zhoumu Mansion.

"Zizhong, did you bring today's military newspaper?" Hearing the footsteps outside the hall, Xuzhou Mu Liu Bei sat cross-legged on the table and asked directly without raising his head.

They had received information from the Mi Clan before, and they had heard rumors that Yuan Shu intended to invade Xuzhou. Not only did they make preparations, but they also asked that when it comes to battle, no matter if there is anything to do, they should stay closer to the xiapi and report every day.

Guangling is a little farther away, so we have to report every two days at the latest.

"Here it is," Mi Zhu looked at Liu Bei with a happy face, bowed and said with a smile, "Zhou Mu, Yun Chang is a real tiger!"

Staring at Liu Bei who raised his head in surprise, Mi Zhu was so happy that he couldn't even hold on to his celebrity demeanor, he grinned and said, "Just yesterday, Guan Sima fought against the enemy generals in Tongcheng and defeated all the troops, it can be said to have won a complete victory! "

"How much beheading?" Seeing that Liu Bei was not happy, he frowned slightly, thought for a while, and asked.

"There are more than a thousand!" Mi Zhu said excitedly.

"Is that so?" Liu Bei nodded and buried himself in the pile of bamboo slips again.

Xuzhou used to be rich, but after a catastrophe, compared with the Qingzhou Plain, the territory is much larger, but the embarrassment of cysts and shyness still exists.

The food and grass for the two groups of people and horses have been settled, and the replenishment of other arrows and other supplies, and the distribution and mobilization of various supplies have to be calculated one by one.

The lower officials reported numbers and plans, but as the governor of the state, he had to verify them all by himself.

"Zhou Mu." Seeing the twilight getting dark and faint, Mi Zhu ordered someone to bring a lamp, and approached in surprise, "Why is it so peaceful after this great victory?"

"Great victory?" After a long time, Liu Bei patted his head, sighed, looked up at Mi Zhu, and said with a wry smile, "Yuan Gonglu's family has a big business, with a mere 2000 people. It doesn't matter to him if he loses it."

Staring at Mi Zhu in astonishment, Liu Bei said: "This kind of victory, even if I win it a few times, he won't hurt his vitality, he can afford to lose."

"Instead of destroying ten thousand people, I would rather completely wipe out even two thousand, which is more cost-effective."

"If it doesn't damage the foundation, let him know the pain, the fear, and the retreat." Liu Bei shook his head: "How can it be considered a great victory?"

Liu Bei felt that he was more and more prone to sighing recently. He was so ambitious when he first became the governor of the state, but he was already annoyed by the trivial affairs of the state. Now there are more enemies breaking the border, which makes him more and more anxious.

Now I know how difficult it is to govern a state, and to help the country and the world.
How could it be that easy?
Mi Zhu fell silent for a long time, then nodded.

"However, although it has nothing to do with the overall situation." After turning two more pages, Liu Bei hid his words, pondered for a while, and said: "But we still want to announce it widely, not only to show the prestige of our army, but also to reassure the hearts of the people."

Looking at Mi Zhu, he suddenly laughed: "Zi Zhong, since you are here, why don't you help me deal with these trivial matters?"

Liuhe Mountain, cold mountain peak.

In the night, the guards accompanying him looked worriedly at his young master, Sun Gan, who had been standing here for a long time, motionless.

In fact, it's not just them, Sun Qian felt as if he had turned into a watchdog.

In the early hours of the morning, through the faint moonlight, Sun Qian has been condescendingly paying attention to the battle situation in the distance. His sight seems to be able to pass through the clusters of fire in front of him, travel through a long distance, and see the yellow scarf thief camp.

He knew that it was the Qingzhou Yellow Turban that made a fuss last year, invaded Xuzhou at the beginning of the year, captured Langya and Pengcheng counties, and now it is attacking Pi and Guangling again with Yuan Shu!
Just beside the tributary of the Huaihe River, where the stars and moonlight are reflected, the person who camped by the river is that Lizi named Wang Zheng!
Sun Qian asked himself that he attached great importance to this thief!

Because of this, he would choose to launch an attack when the opponent's army was exhausted in energy and physical strength when the opponent was running long distances at night, or to attack with mental calculation and unpreparedness!

Knowing that the opponent's soldiers are all thieves, they still did not ignore the advantage. It was really like a lion fighting a rabbit with all its strength, and nearly [-]% of the trilogy and all the cavalry were sent to participate in this raid!
Can why.
But this is the result?
In the early morning, when Wang Zheng's troops and his own army were fighting fiercely on the plain, Sun Qian was also standing in this position. Even though he couldn't see clearly from such a long distance, he could still imagine the scenes of those battles.

That is the scene of countless raids and night battles in the history books.

Sun Qian asked himself, he didn't do anything wrong.

But why are these thieves winning in the end!
This was beyond Sun Gan's expectation, and made him unacceptable. He couldn't believe it. He pressed the hilt of his sword and spun around the high stone irritably twice.

Now it's his turn to have a headache!

At this time, on Liuhe Mountain, there are only a thousand soldiers and horses together.

At this time, Sun Qian seemed to have remembered that it is said that soldiers are cunning, which means not only that the success of the slanted sword will lead to the defeat of the enemy, but also that the failure of the slanted sword will make Shi Jifang Fall into a complete downwind, passive!

And Sun Qian and his soldiers and horses, all the Xuzhou troops on Liuhe Mountain, have now become the latter.

Sun Qian was both irritable and desperate.

If you stick to it, it is absolutely impossible for these 1000 troops to hold Liuhe Mountain.

And once Wang Zheng's men and horses approached directly, under heavy siege, lack of food and water, one can imagine the fate of him and the army.

But if you withdraw at this time and return to Tangyi
That will also bring the Yellow Turban bandits who have no worries anymore!
