Riding and cutting the imperial pirates of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 304
After resting for less than half a day, Wang Zheng led the army to rise again.

Halfway through the journey, they received a report from the sentry cavalry ahead. They saw a group of enemy soldiers at the foot of Liuhe Mountain. The number was not many, only two to three hundred, and they were retreating slowly to the west in an orderly manner.

Not long after, the sentinel reported back for the second time, and it was found out that this was the last group of the enemy's group.

Is this a voluntary abandonment of the strategy of "being each other's horns"?

If this is the case, the reason is most likely because the enemy general judged the situation and finally made a judgment that Liuhe Peak could no longer hold it, so he took the initiative to evacuate.

Is it just that simple?

As the horse's back jolted, Wang Zheng concentrated on it, deliberating over and over again.

He himself has never realized that when facing Liu Bei, his degree of caution, or the degree of fear, was even greater than when he faced Cao Cao.

Perhaps it is precisely because of the prophet of the traveler that he knew that Liu Bei has just changed from a trafficker to a prince, but in the future he will be able to counterattack the Emperor Jiuyan.

Perhaps it is precisely because he was also a grassroots in his previous life that he understands the difficulty and fear of going from the lowest to the highest.

It is precisely because of this that he came to Yangzhou, and the reason is precisely because of Wang Zheng's heart, instinctively eager to drive Liu Bei away first, away from his side!

And until now, he hadn't even had the idea of ​​punishing this great enemy.

Perhaps it was because he knew from the very beginning that he was not that easy to kill, let alone die so easily, for a hero who would never give up.

After pondering for a long time, Wang Zheng raised his eyebrows and came to a conclusion.

That's right, that's right, that's for sure!
From a strategic point of view, it was not a passive "defense" from the very beginning, but an active attack. This is not a mistake.

Now that this is the case, in order to increase the success of the surprise attack, the enemy will inevitably bet on all the troops, even
If Wang Zheng were to do it, they might even come out in full force!

But since the raid failed, the enemy generals now have absolutely not enough troops stationed in Liuhe Mountain, so they had to be forced to withdraw to Tangyi!
This incident was more like a flash of light in the dark, shining brightly on Wang Zheng's heart, the pressure that had lingered in his heart for many days was swept away, and the military situation between the enemy and us was immediately clear.

If the 5000 people who ambushed halfway were not more than half of those stationed in Liuhe Mountain, then Wang Zheng really had to think about how many plays Liu Bei played in Guangling, and how many plays Liu Bei has in Xuzhou now?
He even considered whether to give up this strategy.

After all, no matter how good the Tianjun can fight, they will not be able to fight one against ten. Even in the early morning battle the day before yesterday, with the combat power shown by plain cavalry, one against two is barely enough.

Since your Guangling has no more than [-] people at most, then I have no worries!
After analyzing the situation clearly, Wang Zheng immediately strengthened his fighting spirit. He must not allow Liu Bei, a time bomb, to stay in Xuzhou!
With a proper calculation, he looked around and asked his personal guards: "How far is our army from Tangyi at the present position?"

"Report to General!" The personal guards led a few Yangzhou soldiers, they were not responsible for killing the enemy in this team, they just led the way and explained the landscape in detail. "Our army is now less than [-] miles away from Liuhe Mountain. Liuhe Mountain is located to the east of Tangyi, and the distance is also [-] miles away."

"If you change the route directly at this time, based on the speed of your army's rush, estimate the time, this evening, you will probably be able to reach the city of Tangyi!"

The Yangzhou soldier had watched the whole battle before, but at this time, he had already admired the combat power of Wang Zheng's soldiers.

"That's the case." Wang Zheng nodded, but he didn't listen to the man's suggestion, and ordered the left and right: "Order the three armies, the marching speed must not be too fast, and the cavalry, vanguard, and two wings maintain the battle formation."

"Continue to put the sentinel for the first ten miles, and observe carefully to prevent the enemy from ambush."

Seeing the puzzled look on the Yangzhou soldier's face, Wang Zheng smiled and did not explain.

The enemies in Liuhe Mountain have already withdrawn, and what the sentry cavalry saw today was the last group after the breakup, and the first group who set off before that time may have arrived in the city by now.

Since our own army has no wings, no matter how fast and when it arrives, it is impossible to achieve the effect of surprise and surprise.

Then why go in such a hurry?

Be careful, it's always right.

Zhuge has been cautious all his life. When facing his lord, he might as well emulate one or two.

Outside the city of Tangyi, Yuan Jun's camp.

"Zhao Xun is really incompetent!"

When the courier entered the account, Ji Ling was discussing the details of today's siege with Yan Xiang. After hearing the news, he was stunned for a while, and then blurted out a curse.

"Throw the faces of us northerners into it!"

"On the way to Xiapi, my lord will send another general to gather the defeated soldiers. It will take time." Yan Xiang, the master secretary, also frowned when he heard this, and said in a concentrated voice: "If Liu Bei's army takes the opportunity to attack from Xiapi, we will be cut off. It’s going to be troublesome for you to go back!”

Hearing the implication of Yan Xiang's words, Ji Ling nodded.

If there is an enemy coming from the rear, not only will their troops face the danger of attacking from front to back, but the military camp on the plain is also completely unfavorable for defense.

"What Mr. Yan said is very true." Ji Ling nodded: "We must win Tangyi in a short time!"

"When the villain came, Xuzhou Inspector Wang Zheng also gave an order." The messenger said again: "The Inspector Wang warned the general not to show off the bravery of ordinary people. If someone with a spear provokes a general, he must not fight in person."

Hearing this, Ji Lingyan Xiang was startled at the same time, looked at each other, Yan Xiang thought for a while, and said: "I look at the top of the city from a distance, and the flag on the opposite side is engraved as "Zhang". , could it be"

Yan Xiang was thoughtful, "Is Liu Xuande's sworn brother Zhang Fei in charge of this town?"

"So what about Zhang Fei?" Ji Ling snorted coldly: "A reckless man, the only thing he knows in his life is the ear of the flying general at Hulao Pass!"

"It's still three people fighting one, so I don't feel ashamed to say it, and I'm still bragging about the three heroes fighting Lu Bu, hey!"

"What Wang Zheng said is not bad." Yan Xiang heard that Ji Ling's words really meant a fight, and he couldn't help admonishing him: "County officer, fighting on the battlefield is a major national event, fighting generals' actions like this are like street gangsters fighting violently Ordinary, but it is not taken by the enemy."

"But sir, isn't the current situation just to destroy the city as soon as possible?" Ji Ling smiled sideways and said, "If the enemy general is really that Zhang Fei, and he really wants to take the initiative to fight the general, once he is killed, we can take advantage of the collapse of the Tangyi army's anger." When the courage is gone, our army has been raised, isn't it possible to fight down in one battle?"

"If the lord of the Tangyi is Zhang Fei, the one who beheaded Zhao Xun in Xiapi must be Guan Yunchang." Yan Xiang said anxiously: "Zhao Xun took three rounds in a row."

"Cooking Zhao Xun is nothing more than three punches and two kicks to someone!"

"This..." Yan Xiang was silent for a while when he heard the words. He had naturally heard about it. Before Sun Ce took the lead, Ji Ling was the number one hero under his lord's account, while Zhao Xun, besides his status, had nothing else to offer .

Speaking of which, it was Yuan Shu's mistake to send such a person to be the leader of the road.

"What's more, Yu Kou said this on purpose, clearly because of Zhao Xun, he underestimated the warriors under my lord." Thinking that Sun Ce, whose eyes were so high above his head, was also beaten into a pig's head by the opponent, Ji Ling felt happy, but still because of being beaten. Wang Zheng took it lightly and was not angry.

"I've made up my mind!" Ji Ling jumped up against the case: "Didn't the governor Wang say that if someone with a spear starts a fight, you can't fight in person?"

He stared at Yan Xiang, and said confidently: "Then I will provoke you!"

"Also let him know that the men under the lord's account are not lacking in martial arts!"

Because Wang Zheng's sight was emphasized, and there were many wounded in the army, the marching speed of the troops became more and more slow, and it was not until the early morning of the next day that Liuhe Mountain was left behind.

During this period, there has been no movement to block the Guangling Army.

In the faint morning light of reining in the horse, feeling the unique coolness of the dawn in midsummer, Wang Zheng's heartstrings that had been tensed all the time relaxed. .

When Zhao Kai, the lieutenant of the Tianzhu Camp at the back of the palace, reported by horseback, Wang Zheng looked at the endless rear army, thought for a while, and suddenly asked, "Zhao Kai, do you feel tired?"

"The villain doesn't think so." Zhao Kai patted his chest and said loudly, "I was thinking of getting to Tangyi City earlier and continue to make contributions to the general."

"Our soldiers are all like you, with high morale, happy to hear the battle." Wang Zheng shook his head, pointed to his eyes and said, "But even you (third-rank soldier) have bloodshot eyes, let alone others?"

"Ye Lai hasn't eaten yet, order the three armies to rest on the spot, bury the stove and cook for two hours. No, after three hours, continue marching."

Zhao Kai took the order to go, and all ranks of military officers issued orders separately, not long after, except for Wang Zheng's personal soldiers who served as guards, even the Tianzhu camp was ordered to rest.

It wasn't until this moment that the excited soldiers felt exhausted, and immediately turned the whole road overwhelmed.Some were so tired that they dropped their weapons and went to sleep regardless of whether the ground was dirty or not.

For a while, there was a loud whistling sound.

this is not appropriate
Seeing this, Wang Zheng frowned slightly. If he was attacked by the enemy at this time, wouldn't it be all over?

"How decent is it to act like this?" He shouted at the approaching Gu Jian: "Generals and officers above the rank should not relax their minds, pay attention, and don't throw weapons around, and don't mess up the formation!"

"Notify the generals above Du Bo to come here to hold a military meeting."

It can't be blamed for the lack of discipline of the soldiers. Even if he is of extraordinary physique, he feels his legs fluttering when he jumps off the horse.

In the fierce battle before, even his Gao Ligao body flow was a little bit exhausted, Wang Zheng looked calm, condensed his body, and went to condolences to the wounded first.

When he came to Yangzhou, Wang Zheng was also growing. He no longer relied on the loyalty of the system to do things, especially the recruits who were angry before. Speaking of which, he also felt a little guilty about his own soldiers, especially the injured. During the short one-night march, This is the third time he has visited the wounded soldiers.

This kind of behavior fell into the eyes of others, and naturally they were deeply moved, and felt more and more that the general really regarded them as brothers and truly loved soldiers like sons.

In order not to affect morale and prevent the spread of the disease, Wang Zheng gathered the only remaining vehicles in the army, and the seriously wounded were placed on them. In the isolated area, there are special personnel standing guard on the periphery, so as to prevent the passing of idlers and others.

At this time, 300 people were moaning and turning, and a strong smell of blood rushed to their faces, attracting many flies and flying insects, buzzing and buzzing.

Seeing General Tiangong coming, some fell asleep, murmured something with chapped lips, and a few were sober and struggled to get up and salute.

"do not move."

Wang Zheng stepped forward in a hurry and stopped a wounded soldier who stood up. He took a look and saw that the man was only thirty years old and had a broken leg.

"Been trampled by the enemy's horse?" Wang Zheng asked with a look of regret.

"The two horses, thanks to the villain's life, avoided the second one."

If you are trampled by a horse, there are only two situations: either you flee in battle, or you step forward bravely.The wounded number was in the front. Apart from the broken leg, there was also a sword wound on the chest. Wang Zheng glanced slightly, and immediately guessed the scene when he was injured.

It must have been the cavalry of the Guangling Army rushing forward, and he rushed forward to stop him regardless. The weapon he used might be a spear or a big axe, but he failed to block, and his leg broke first. The dagger slashed across his chest.

Immediately, Wang Zheng asked the wounded man, and it was as expected.

The system guarantees that his soldiers will not be afraid of the enemy, let alone betrayal, but they will never destroy their humanity. It takes both courage and fighting spirit to meet the enemy on horseback with flesh and blood.

This is not what the system can give, but it needs to be a seasoned veteran who is naturally bold.

The two chatted for a few words, and Wang Zheng heard the accent: "Brother is also from Qi County?"

"Exactly, General."

"Where did you join the army?"

"Zhao County."

It turned out to be my true direct descendant. Wang Zheng looked at him with softer eyes, and quietly promoted him to a higher level.

"Good man! There is a saying that if you survive a catastrophe, you will have future blessings. What's your name, bro?"

After receiving the praise, the man was so excited that he raised his chest subconsciously: "Wang Xiong!"

Or the family?

Especially the word "Xiong" reminded Wang Zheng of Gao Xiong who was tortured and killed by Wen Chou before, his eyes darkened, he was silent for a while, nodded, straightened up, and looked around.

But I saw blood everywhere on the car and on the ground, dirty weapons, and armor that had been removed.The military doctors ran back and forth sweating, and from time to time there were unconscious groans and screams of unbearable pain from the wounds.

Everyone was watching Wang Zheng, whether standing or lying down, Wang Zheng also saw those complex emotions in the eyes of many people.

Amidst the thick blood, a gust of morning wind blew in. Wang Zheng took a deep breath and asked suddenly, "Did you smell it?"

The question was so abrupt that no one could understand it. Everyone, including the wounded who had been suffering from pain, turned their eyes.

Wang Zheng asked again: "Have you smelled it?" Then, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

The surroundings gradually quieted down, and after an unknown period of time, Wang Zheng maintained the same movement for a long time, as if his body had frozen.

The wounded man named Wang Xiong sniffed, his eyes lit up, and he replied, "I smell it, General." Then he added, somewhat uncertainly, "It smells like wheat stalks."

Before Cao Cao focused fire in Xuzhou mainly on Xiapi and Pengcheng, Guangling was considered lucky, but in the troubled times, there were no disasters, and natural disasters and panic caused many farmlands to be abandoned.

At this time, the position where the army is stationed is far away from the avenue, and there are faint green waves.

To be honest, Wang Zheng didn't know what it was, but that wasn't the point at all.

Wang Zheng opened his eyes, slowly looked at everyone's faces, and finally stopped at Wang Xiong.

He asked, "Brother Xiong, do you still remember what Zheng said in the barracks?"

At this moment, it seemed that with the change of that claim, the majesty and majesty of Wang Zheng in the eyes of everyone seemed to disappear.

It seems that he has become the boy who was only a mere adult again.

Easy-going and simple.

It makes people feel close at first sight.
