As soon as the army arrived at the city gate, they saw Liu Qingsheng leading two rows of Zhou soldiers waiting at the city gate.
At this moment, Liu Qingsheng had taken off the official robes of the Xia Kingdom, put on washed white cloth, and wore a black crown of merit on his head, dressing up like a scholar.
Seeing Wang Cheng and others coming on horseback, he ran up to him with small steps, bowed and saluted: "Congratulations on your triumph!"
Wang Cheng frowned, a little uncomfortable with this kind of scene that only appeared in ancient TV series, but he still said: "Master Liu, please get up!"
Only then did Liu Qingsheng raise his head, and then his eyes focused on the big black horse on Wang Cheng's side.
In addition to carrying the tiger-headed golden gun on its back, the big black horse also carried a corpse.
He stared at the corpse for a while, then suddenly said in shock: "This is General Luzhou of Xia Kingdom - He Ba?!"
He suddenly remembered something, looked at Wang Cheng and said, "My lord actually killed an entire army of generals!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Zhu Pengfei laughed loudly on the side and said: "What does a mere Luzhou general mean? In this battle, we killed 5,139 summer dogs, and among the remaining half, about 2,000 people were seriously injured."
He looked arrogant and suddenly raised his voice and shouted: "Our army will win this battle!"
"Big victory!"
"Big victory!"
…
The knights following behind also cheered loudly, shaking the Jizhou City.
Liu Qingsheng's dark color changed slightly. It seemed that he still underestimated this Zhou army. Xia State dispatched a general, and he must have sent tens of thousands of horses. Three thousand men against ten thousand people, how could they still achieve such a great victory!
The Xia Kingdom's cavalry was very powerful. Only the Mongolian steppe khanate could compete with it among the surrounding countries. The Great Zhou, Zheng, and Lu were all far behind.
The three thousand cavalry led by Wang Cheng not only defeated the greater number with less, but also achieved an unprecedented victory. This is really shocking!
He looked at the large number of war horses appearing on the horizon, and they were being driven here by Zhou soldiers. He couldn't help but salute Wang Cheng again: "My lord, you are brave!"
"It's you who is more skilled, sir!" Wang Cheng said.
Both of them were congratulating each other, but in their hearts they were thinking about the terrible methods shown by the other party.
Liu Qingsheng was thinking: After all, he had underestimated this young captain. He was able to kill the enemy generals in the midst of thousands of troops, but he actually had the qualifications to be a peerless general.
Wang Cheng was thinking: This Master Liu is really scheming. He first used the empty city strategy to confuse the opponent, then angered the opponent with a few words on two pieces of white cloth, and finally led the general into the city, giving himself the opportunity to kill the enemy general. Opportunity.
"Okay! You two, stop complimenting each other here, I'm going to starve to death!" Zhu Pengfei said dissatisfied.
Wang Cheng and Liu Qingsheng smiled at each other, and then led a group of knights into the city.
More than 2,000 cavalrymen entered the city together with more than 5,000 captured war horses. The mighty momentum shook the entire Jizhou City.
Almost all the people in Jizhou City who were originally hiding in the house ran out. These people still kept the clothes of Dazhou, because they were originally the people of Dazhou.
"We won! We won! We won!"
"The sky has eyes! We finally won!"
…
One by one, many of them fell to their knees, many of them elderly people, with tears streaming down their faces.
For twenty years, or even longer, they lived under the bullying of the Xia people all day long, thinking all the time that the army of their motherland could recover Jizhou City and return to the embrace of the Zhou Dynasty.
Unfortunately, after waiting year after year, almost all the older generation died, and the younger generation also became middle-aged, but they still failed to wait for the army of the motherland.
They were disappointed in their homeland again and again until their hearts almost died.
At this moment, the army of the motherland regained the lost ground in a battle and drove back the incoming enemy troops. No one could understand how complicated this feeling was.
"Master Shenwu!"
"General Shenwu!"
…
Wang Cheng listened to these congratulations, and the confusion and contradiction in his heart suddenly disappeared.
He sighed secretly, he was still too young after all.
What you see on paper, what others tell you, and what you hear on TV are ultimately not as good as your own personal experience. How can you truly understand the meaning of the word "guarding" if you don't experience it once?
Jizhou camp.
That is, the large camp where the Black Eagle Army was stationed in the west of the city has now become the camp of Wang Cheng and others.
Night has fallen, but the fire in the camp is soaring into the sky, and the bonfires illuminate the camp like daylight.
There were long tables in the camp, with pots of beef and mutton placed on them, and the heat was rising.
In the past, I could only eat it a few times a month, but today I can't finish it even if I open my stomach.
The most attractive thing is not these, there is actually a jar of wine placed on the table.
More than two thousand cavalrymen sat neatly and orderly around the long table. No one moved their chopsticks, all looking at the figure in the front.
Amid everyone's expectations, Wang Cheng walked to the center carrying a jar of wine and a bowl.
He poured a bowl of wine, picked up the wine bowl, and said in a deep voice: "Our army's great victory in this battle was all thanks to the bravery of our brothers to kill the enemy. This bowl of wine is dedicated to the 312 brothers who sacrificed their lives." , Respect you all!"
Then he spilled a bowl of wine on the ground, filled another bowl, and said, "This second bowl of wine is a tribute to all the soldiers and civilians who have sacrificed their lives for the country in the past twenty years. It is their heroic spirits that protect us from defeating the enemy!"
After spilling the second bowl of wine, he continued to fill it up and said: "This thirty thousand wine is for the king. The king has been on the throne for more than ten years. He has devoted himself to worrying about the country and the people, and the country's strength is growing day by day. Only then can we regain Jizhou today." Feat!"
"good!"
Everyone couldn't help but clapped their hands and applauded. Their thoughts were all immersed in what Wang Cheng had just said.
Even Zhu Pengfei, who has always been conceited, secretly gave Wang Cheng a thumbs up. He did not expect that Wang Cheng, who was born in Jianghu, could say such things.
In this war, Wang Cheng made the greatest contribution, but he didn't even mention a single word at the celebration banquet. He gave all the credit to others. This is the pattern.
After toasting three bowls of wine, Wang Cheng didn't want to dampen everyone's interest, so he said "Let's eat" and returned to his seat with the wine jar.
This is a square table, located at the front of all the tables, with only three people seated.
One is Wang Cheng, the other is Zhu Pengfei, and the other is Liu Qingsheng, who has just been appointed as the school captain.
After Wang Cheng sat down, Liu Qingsheng quickly stood up and took the wine jar from Wang Cheng's hand, filled it for him, and said: "My lord, it's really good to say, first respect the soldiers, secondly respect the heroes, and thirdly respect the king. Here are three bowls, sir." Not only does wine bring the soldiers back to their hearts, but even the king in Kyoto will be delighted when he knows about it."
Wang Cheng felt ashamed. He took these words from TV series and used them now.
He picked up the wine bowl and said: "This battle can greatly defeat the enemy's army, sir, and the contribution is indispensable!"
"Don't dare!"
Liu Qingsheng waved his hands repeatedly. He knew his own family affairs. He did make suggestions in this battle, but it was true that he was not optimistic about Wang Cheng and the others at the beginning.
For twenty years, or even longer, the great Zhou Dynasty had always lost more than it won in the wars against Xia, so until now he still had a dreamlike feeling that Wang Cheng led 3,000 cavalry to break through the Xia army of 10,000 people.
"Hmph! I have long said that today is different from the past, and our army in the Great Zhou Dynasty is no longer what it used to be!" Zhu Pengfei said coldly.
"It's Liu's fault. Liu will punish himself with three drinks!" Liu Qingsheng quickly confessed, picked up the wine bowl and poured three large bowls into his mouth.
Maybe he drank too fast, and he choked on tears, and his face turned red and his neck became thick.
Seeing that he was taking the road like this, Zhu Pengfei stopped making things difficult for him and nodded: "Okay! He is a man! I, Zhu Pengfei, recognize your friend!"
Liu Qingsheng quickly picked up the wine bowl again and was about to drink again, but was stopped by Wang Cheng.
"Sir, if you are still injured, don't drink alcohol. The Great Return Pill is not a magic medicine!"
Hearing this, Liu Qingsheng had no choice but to put down his wine bowl. He already knew who saved him that night.
It was Wang Cheng who used a Great Return Pill that made him recover so quickly. It was a spiritual pill worth thousands of gold, and it would be used on him one day.
Regardless of whether Wang Cheng had good intentions or other purposes, he recognized Wang Cheng as an adult.
He looked at Wang Cheng and said, "Sir, I don't know whether to say it or not when I have a humble position."
Wang Cheng put down his chopsticks and said seriously: "Just tell me."
"Although our army has defeated the enemy in this battle, the Xia Kingdom will never sit idly by and ignore it. They will definitely send heavy troops, and there will definitely be more than 10,000 troops!" Liu Qingsheng said.
Wang Cheng frowned and said nothing. They had discussed this point of view before, and he thought so too.
The geographical location of Jizhou is too important. Once it is recovered by the Great Zhou Dynasty, Xia Kingdom's northeastern defense line will be completely opened to the Great Zhou Dynasty. How could the Xia Kingdom sit back and watch this happen?
And after this battle, their true and false intentions have been completely exposed. With a cavalry of less than 3,000 people, Xia will definitely send heavy troops to kill them again.
Wang Cheng turned his head and looked at Zhu Pengfei and said, "Have all the men and horses sent back to notify the general on their way?"
"I left a long time ago. I'm afraid I'm almost out of Jizhou at this time." Zhu Pengfei nodded.
Liu Qingsheng shook his head and said, "It's too late!"
He explained: "There are at least 30,000 Xia troops stationed in Pingzhou, which is only three hundred miles away from Jizhou. It will not take more than two days for them to rush to Jizhou. Although General Zhu's camp is closer to Jizhou City, He has no cavalry in hand, and it will take at least two days to get here!"
Wang Cheng and Zhu Pengfei stopped talking after hearing this.
"So, we have to stay in Jizhou City for at least one day, waiting for the general's army to arrive!" Wang Cheng said solemnly.
"Only for a day?" Zhu Pengfei twisted his forehead into the word "Chuan".
A mere two thousand men faced off against Xia's thirty thousand men. They really couldn't figure out how to fight such a battle.
The strategy worked once, but it was useless again. Those Xia soldiers were reckless, but they were by no means fools.
"Mom! Fight with them! I don't believe it anymore. The wall of Jizhou City is high and the bricks are hard. We occupy the high wall. If you don't believe it, we can't even hold it for a day!" Zhu Pengfei gritted his teeth and said.
"It's hard!"
Liu Qingsheng shook his head and said: "If everyone in Jizhou City works together, we can naturally defend it for one day. But Mr. Zhu must have forgotten that there are many Xia people here. We still don't know the whereabouts of the deputy lieutenant of the Black Eagle Army." , he must be in the city."
"Tuoba Tao?"
Zhu Pengfei looked ugly and cursed: "Is this bitch hiding in the manure pit? No matter how hard I look, I can't find it!"
This time He Ba was able to lead his troops to attack so quickly. Someone must have tipped him off. Tuobatao was undoubtedly the most likely. It could even be concluded that it was this person. He was the only one in the city who knew how to secretly contact Xia Jun.
"Damn it! Do we really have to retreat in such despair?"
