At this time, Commander Wang was sighing.
In the past, he was also the commander of a legion under King Anton, and his skills were quite satisfactory. Although he was not good at offensive combat, he had considerable experience in defensive warfare.
He came to Qingshui County not because he was demoted, but because his general applied specifically for him.
When he was in response to an attack by the King of Zhennan's army, he relied on a thousand men to withstand the attack of more than 10,000 people. This lasted for two months. The enemy was beaten to a bloody head and was unable to break through. City, finally King Andong's soldiers and horses were mobilized and rushed to support, and they defeated King Zhennan's soldiers and horses.
That battle made Wang Hao famous and became a popular figure in King Anton's army.
Seeing that he fought so well in the defensive battle, his general applied to the commander of the army to transfer him to Qingshui County as the commander.
Qingshui County is located on the border, with barbarians to the north. Although it is not a military town, it is still very important. Placing him here will ensure that everything is safe.
Before leaving, the general patted Wang Hao on the shoulder and said with a smile,
"Haozi, you are very lucky to be here this time. You will be happier stationed in the county than in the military camp practicing every day. When the time comes, you will find a way to make some money and become the king and hegemon in the county. If you have soldiers in your hands, you will Heavenly King, my little life has been so prosperous, haven’t I?”
Regarding the general's words, Wang Hao just smiled bitterly and did not answer.
After arriving in Qingshui County, he vigorously reorganized his troops, strengthened city defenses, and hoarded strategic supplies to prepare for the barbarian attack.
Who knows, after two years here, the barbarians have never come to fight once, and his life has become as dull as water.
Although he never slacked off in training and strengthening city defenses, he gradually became less sharp. The county magistrate would call him over to drink and have fun from time to time, and the frequent socializing made his general's belly grow bigger.
A commander who fought bravely on the battlefield gradually became a bureaucrat.
He often dreamed back at midnight, dreaming that he was back to the scene of following the army to kill.
Although today's life is happy and relaxed, it is too comfortable.
He wanted to go into battle to kill the enemy and protect his country, but the battle he fought was just to suppress bandits.
He is not good at offensive combat, but he is more than enough to fight bandits and grass bandits.
When he came today, the county magistrate told him that Qingfeng Village now has many soldiers and horses, and even Heifeng Ridge can be defeated.
Wang Hao didn't take it seriously. It was normal for two children to win or lose in a fight, but no matter how powerful they were, could they be the opponent of an adult strong man?
Today, Wang Hao, an adult man, came with eight hundred soldiers to bully the children in Qingfeng Village.
Wang Hao did not take it lightly, but arranged the army to line up neatly, with shield bearers in front, spearmen following, and two hundred archers at the end.
He himself was protected in the middle and led the army up the mountain in an orderly manner.
When he reached the halfway point of the mountain, he looked up and saw two hillsides on both sides of the road. He smiled and said,
"What a good place for an ambush. If I were the defender, I would definitely arrange rolling logs and rocks here to intercept the enemy."
The people around him laughed and said,
"That's a group of bandits. How could you be so clever and clever?"
Wang Hao smiled and said,
"Don't take it lightly."
At this moment, on the opposite hillside, a young man jumped up and yelled, baring his teeth and claws,
"Dog officers and soldiers, get out of here quickly. It's still too late to run away. If you dare to come to our Qingfeng Village again, I will chop off your head with my sword!"
"Hey, isn't this Nie Chen?"
Wang Hao smiled slightly.
He had been stationed in Qingshui County for two years and often had social events. The Nie family used to be a big family. The head of the Nie family also invited Wang Hao to dinner. He also met Nie Chen several times.
It's just that he sincerely despised Nie Chen, a dandy, and his predecessor Nie Chen didn't bother to negotiate with him, a big boss. He just thought about drinking wine with beauties all day long, so the two had no friendship.
"Nie Chen, you put down your weapons and surrender now. For the sake of your parents and me being old friends, I will find a way to save your life. If you persist in your obsession, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Hearing this, Nie Chen bared his teeth and yelled,
"I'm sorry for your grandma's nonsense. I am now the second master of Qingfeng Village. I enjoy eating and drinking spicy food all day long. Why do I have to go back to jail with you? If you have the ability, come and chop off my head!"
It has to be said that he performed the role of a good-for-nothing good-for-nothing to the fullest.
"Humph, you really won't change your mind!"
Wang Hao snorted coldly.
"Brothers, crush these dog officers and soldiers to death!"
Nie Chen shouted, calling on the bandits behind him to push down the big rocks.
Wang Hao despised Nie Chen even more when he saw that Nie Chen was wearing tatters and holding a broken knife and a wooden stick and iron catalpa in his hand.
He shouted,
"Three people hold up a shield, and the shield formation moves back one after another to form a ramp to carry the stones down the mountain."
"Hold on, the front ones hold on, and a few more people come up."
"They don't have many stones. When they run out, we'll go up and kill them!"
I saw the shield bearers at the front forming a diagonal row one by one to withstand the big rocks rolling down the mountain, and then carefully moving up the right hillside little by little to offset the impact of the big rocks and protect the safety of the soldiers behind them.
This method was the solution Wang Hao came up with when he was hit by rocks when he attacked Niu Kui Mountain last time. He has been training intensively during this period, but he didn't expect it to come in handy so soon.
Dozens of large rocks fell down, but they failed to kill a single officer or soldier.
"Wang Hao is quite capable."
Nie Chen laughed softly.
After throwing the stones, Wang Hao pointed at Nie Chen and shouted,
"Nie Chen, I will give you one more chance. Put down your weapons and surrender. I will give you a way out and take you to worship your parents.
Your parents and I were old friends back then. After their deaths, their bodies were thrown into mass graves. I took people there in the middle of the night, collected the bodies with a coffin, and buried them on the mountain behind Fuyun Mountain. I erected a tombstone for your father. Mother will not leave her body in the wilderness.
If you still want to be worthy of your parents, come back with me. I will take you to worship your parents first, and then escort you back for trial.
Do you want to be an unfaithful and unfilial person? "
Nie Chen was startled when he heard this and murmured to himself,
"No wonder I didn't find the corpses of my parents when I went to the graveyard last time... Just because of you, I won't kill you this time."
He closed his eyes and when he opened them again, he looked like a dandy again and shouted,
"Brothers, don't listen to this hypocrite. Shoot him with arrows!"
Immediately behind him, several crossbowmen came over, holding crossbows and sparsely firing arrows downwards.
"What a hopeless loser!"
Wang Hao gritted his teeth angrily, drew out his sword, and shouted,
"Charge, destroy them for me! Capture that Nie Chen alive!"
