Yunbin, Sanmenling
"I am reporting to the Commander-in-Chief that all 5,000 people from our three battalions have arrived at Sanmenling. The camp is expected to be completed in an hour..."
After hearing the report from his subordinates, Wang Zhide nodded slightly and said:
"Instructions are sent to all the sentries. In addition to building the camp, they must also dig three trenches one foot wide and one foot deep. The horses and watchtowers must be built. The scouts must be sent out ten miles away. If there is any disturbance in the surrounding area, Come and report immediately!”
"The cavalry of the Fengwu Army may arrive at any time. All sentries must be alert! There can be no relaxation!"
"Tell them that I will inspect them in an hour. If anyone cheats, don't blame me for giving him a whip!"
"yes!"
After giving the order, Wang Zhide came to a hill, which is the highest point in Sanmenling. While he could look at the surrounding landscape, he could also observe the progress of his men building the camp, and watch the camp being built little by little. After it was built, Wang Zhide felt a lot more relieved.
He received the order from his cousin Wang Muzhi last night and realized that the matter was very important. Because he was worried that the cavalry led by Xun Ke would get ahead of him and directly cross Sanmenling to kill Jinyang, so he did not do anything about it. Not daring to delay, an hour after receiving the order, he led his men from the station and rushed over overnight.
Although there is no intelligence that the Fengwu Army cavalry will definitely pass through Sanmenling, Wang Zhide and Wang Muzhi both believe that the Fengwu Army will come here. After all, even the cavalry will have to walk a long way if they bypass Sanmenling. road, and there are no big towns along the way that cannot receive sufficient food supplies...
One hour soon came, and Wang Zhide also began his inspection. Seeing his soldiers busy nervously, he was still very satisfied. In order to maintain the strength advantage over the Fengwu Army, Wang Muzhi carried out a large-scale attack in Yunbin. mobilized on a large scale.
Although this brought a large number of soldiers to Yun Bing's army, the quality of Yun Bing's army was uneven, which also caused trouble for many generals. They had to fight against Fengwu's army and train at the same time. Teach these new recruits some of the most basic things.
However, as Wang Muzhi's cousin, Wang Zhide still has some privileges. The five thousand soldiers and horses under his command are all veterans who have experienced several wars. Things like marching and camping do not need him to teach them at all.
"Sir, our brothers have been very exhausted after marching all night. Now they are stepping up the construction of the camp. Sir, do you think this trench can be slowed down?" Seeing Wang Zhide coming to inspect, Liu Maoru, a sentry commander under his command, hurried over and gave a lecture. ;
After hearing Liu Maoru's suggestion, Wang Zhide glanced at him and said:
"Are you bargaining with me?"
As soon as Liu Maoru said this, he quickly denied it and said:
"Sir, you are speaking harshly, how dare I?"
"Brothers are just too tired. Several of my brothers fainted from exhaustion just now. Do you think you should let them rest... ········”
"My lord, look at the weather today. Those bastards from the Fengwu Army probably won't come today. My lord, I promise to get them up and dig trenches as soon as Yin time comes tomorrow!"
After listening to Liu Maoru's words, Wang Zhide also looked around and saw that each of these soldiers was very tired. Everyone was working almost forcefully. Seeing this, Wang Zhide also felt that what Liu Maoru said made sense. He pondered for a moment and said:
"Trenches must be dug! But since everyone is so tired, let's dig one today! As for the remaining two two-day trenches, they must be dug before midnight tomorrow. If you don't dig well, don't blame me for beating you Liu Maoru. whip!"
As soon as these words came out, Liu Maoru immediately nodded and bowed in assurance:
"I understand, I understand. I will supervise the work tomorrow and I will dig the trench for you before midnight. If I don't dig it well, I will beat myself up!"
After finishing speaking, Liu Maoru was still thinking about the soldiers around him and cursed harshly:
"You bastards, the commander-in-chief only asked you to dig a trench. Why don't you thank the commander-in-chief for his sympathy?"
After being reminded by Liu Maoru, the surrounding soldiers also thanked Wang Zhide in unison. Wang Zhide returned to his camp amidst everyone's thanks.
When he returned to the camp, Wang Zhide was a little hungry, so he asked his men to prepare a meal for him. However, before the meal was delivered, the commander in charge of the scouts immediately came to report:
"Your Majesty, the three scouts who were scouting the northeast were supposed to be back in an hour, but they haven't come back yet. Do you think we should send a group of scouts to the northeast... ··················”
When Wang Zhide heard the news, a glint suddenly appeared in his eyes. Then he looked at the map and observed carefully. After half a cup of tea, he shook his head and said:
"There is no need to send out a group of scouts anymore. The three scouts under your command have probably been poisoned by the Fengwu Army. They are coming soon!"
As soon as these words were spoken, a messenger came from outside the door and quickly walked into the camp and reported:
"Your Majesty, thousands of Fengwu Army cavalry are coming from the northeast. They are very fast!"
After hearing this, Wang Zhide immediately smiled and said:
"Well done! If you really say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be here!"
"Send orders to all ministries to quickly enter the combat area and strictly guard their respective positions! The enemy must not be allowed to set foot on Sanmenling. Anyone who retreats without authorization will be killed without mercy!"
"yes!"
After a stick of incense, the Fengwu army rushed to Sanmenling and quickly launched an attack on Sanmenling. However, the five thousand soldiers and horses under Wang Zhide were well prepared at this time. They relied on the terrain and camps to resist resolutely, because it was Yunbin. The elite of the army, they were also equipped with a large number of Shenwu guns and tiger squatting cannons. They defeated the Fengwu Army cavalry and lost dozens of people before they even rushed to the stronghold.
Seeing this, Xun Ke immediately stopped the attack and withdrew his troops. Seeing this scene, Wang Zhide's face was naturally full of smiles···················· ·······
At the same time, the guards around Wang Zhide began to praise Wang Zhide loudly.
"People like the Fengwu Army are just a bunch of cowards who bully the weak and fear the strong. They dare to bully those weaklings. When they encounter a tough guy like the Commander, they will wilt!"
"The commander-in-chief has frightened the courage of this Fengwu army, and now it is on the verge of collapse and does not dare to fight our army at all!"
"The commander Shenwei will beat the Fengwu army to pieces as soon as he takes action. After fighting a few battles, he will become a general!"
···········
···········
Amidst the praise from everyone, Wang Zhide also felt a little arrogant and thought that he was really the nemesis of the Fengwu Army. He immediately waved his hand and ordered his sentry horses to take advantage of the situation to cover up and kill him.
After a cup of tea, Xun Ke, who was worried about how to capture Sanmenling, heard his subordinates report that the enemy troops had come out of the camp to cover up the enemy. In response to this news, Xun Ke's subordinates immediately advised Xun Ke to kill those who dared to pursue them. The enemy troops were wiped out on the spot, but after thinking about this for a while, Xun Ke shook his head and ordered;
"Throw all the property captured by our army on the road, and also throw some armor and firearms!"
After hearing Xun Ke's order, his subordinates immediately realized what he was thinking, and their eyes suddenly lit up and he said:
"Sir, do you want to..."
Xun Ke smiled and nodded and said:
"Pretend to be more like yourself, but don't let the enemy see any clues!"
"Sir, don't worry!"
As Xun Ke's plan was implemented, after half a stick of incense, Wang Zhide discovered that in addition to the sentry he ordered to cover up, many other soldiers and horses under his command also chased him. Seeing this situation, Wang Zhide Shocked and angry, he shouted to his subordinates and asked:
"Why are there so many people chasing after them?"
When faced with Wang Zhide's questioning, his subordinates knew they couldn't hide it and told the truth:
"Sir, the enemy army was completely defeated by our army and discarded a lot of gold, silver, firearms and armor. The brothers haven't received military pay for more than half a year, so they all wanted to make a profit, so they all followed suit!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Zhide immediately became furious and roared loudly:
"You idiots, get them back quickly! There's a scam here!"
Although he was a little proud of having just defeated the Fengwu Army, he was not so arrogant that he completely defeated the Fengwu Army's cavalry in the battle just now. But now the enemy has started throwing gold, silver, property, firearms and armor. Very soon There is obviously something wrong with this!
Seeing the furious Wang Zhide, his subordinates were also frightened and immediately prepared to withdraw their troops. However, it was already too late. Before they could walk out of the camp without waiting for their orders, they saw a soldier covered in blood. He ran back and reported:
"Commander, something is not right! We were ambushed by the enemy. Many brothers were killed by the Fengwu Army! Commander Zhao, please come to our aid as soon as possible. If it is too late, our army will be completely wiped out..." ·····················”
As soon as these words came out, Wang Zhide felt angry and his eyes went dark. Fortunately, the subordinates around him had quick eyesight and quick hands, so he didn't fall to the ground.
Although he was filled with anger, Wang Zhide had not lost his mind at this time. He asked the subordinates beside him:
"How many people were chased out?"
The subordinate hesitated after hearing Wang Zhide's words, but under Wang Zhide's gaze he could only say honestly:
"About two thousand people!"
When these words came out, Wang Zhide was even more heartbroken. Although he didn't know how much it was, he only had 5,000 men under his command. Now the people chasing him were almost half of his men.
If there were not many men and horses chasing him, in order to prevent the enemy from ambushing the point again for reinforcements, and in order to complete the task assigned to him by his cousin Wang Muzhi, he might choose to abandon the car to protect the commander and give up this part of the troops. Make sure you get the job done!
But now it is no longer possible. Once these soldiers and horses are annihilated by the Fengwu Army, the remaining soldiers and horses in the camp will not be enough to complete the established task of blocking the Fengwu Army cavalry at Sanmenling.
So at this moment, there is only one choice before Wang Zhide - take a gamble!
Thinking of this, Wang Zhide took a deep breath and said sternly:
"Attack the whole army! Fight with the Fengwu Army! Let these bastards know how powerful we are!"
····································

Three days later, Otani County
In the headquarters of Yun Bing Army, a staff general of Yun Bing Army reported to Wang Muzhi:
"The Governor Jinyang sent news that the surrounding areas of Jinyang have been cleared of strong walls, but no trace of the Fengwu Army cavalry has been found!"
Wang Muzhi nodded slightly when he heard the news. In the past few days, he had been worried that Xun Ke would lead the Fengwu Army cavalry to Jinyang and stir up panic among people. Now he could finally breathe a sigh of relief after hearing the news.
After pondering for a while, Wang Muzhi seemed to have thought of something and asked the general:
"How did the people of Jinyang react?"
Facing Wang Muzhi's inquiry, the general also said clearly:
'The people are reluctant to leave their homeland, and some conflicts broke out for this reason, but in the end we completed the task you assigned us! '
Although what the general said was gentle, Wang Muzhi knew very well that the matter must be full of blood and tears, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, but there was nothing he could do about it. In order to resist the Fengwu Army's offensive, he had to Make sacrifices!
After adjusting his mood, Wang Muzhi continued to ask:
"Is there any news from Sanmenling?"
The general thought for a moment and said:
"I'm telling you, sir, there is no news from Sanmenling..."
These words caused a flash of doubt in Wang Muzhi's eyes. No Fengwu Army cavalry was found around Jinyang, and no news was sent back from Sanmenling. So where are the Fengwu Army cavalry led by Xun Ke now? , counting the days, even if Xun Ke led his troops to bypass Sanmenling, he should have appeared around Jinyang!
Could it be that Xun Ke’s goal is not Jinyang?
Don't you want to harass your own rear?
Looking at the sand table in front of him, Wang Muzhi was a little confused as to what Xun Ke wanted to do. While he was thinking hard, a guard immediately reported urgently:
"Sir, the main force of the Fengwu Army in Lingyuan County has launched a large-scale attack on Pingyun County!"
As soon as these words came out, he immediately attracted all Wang Muzhi's attention. He still confidently preached about Pingyun County's defense:
"Lin Huaiwu really can't bear it anymore. If that's the case, let him hit his head again and bleed!"
Just when Wang Muzhi was thinking about repeating his old tricks and replicating the last victory in Pingyun County, two hours later, a frontline scout sent him a piece of news that shocked him greatly.
Previously, the Fengwu Army struggled to conquer Pingyun County, which laid the foundation for the great victory. Now, two hours after attacking the city, the Fengwu Army's Black Dragon Flag had already been raised on the top of the city... ···············
