"Brother Zhang, how many Shu people do you think the general and others can kill this time?"
"I can't say for sure, but with the combat effectiveness of our elite cavalry and the general's command, we will have to kill thousands of them no matter what."
The two Wei soldiers guarding the water source were chatting, completely unaware of the potential danger.
Huang Xi led a hundred soldiers to lurk in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to get water, and had blocked any comments about the victor of the Wei army.
"General Huang, don't hesitate! There are only four people guarding over there. Let's go quietly and kill them." A soldier from Shu couldn't help but asked in a low voice.
Huang Xi observed the surrounding situation. Although there were only four soldiers guarding the front, there were several mobile units patrolling within a hundred meters. If any abnormal movement was found here, their hundred-man unit would be subdued in an instant.
"Brother Zhang, General Zhang is really smart. He cut off their water source as soon as he came. I heard that Ma Su is Zhuge Liang's chosen successor. Is this the case with Zhuge Liang's successor?"
"Then Zhuge Kongming, who plays like a god in their Shu country, is just a villager. What kind of knowledge can a villager have? Naturally, the person he chooses is also a idiot!"
"Zhuge village man, horse straw bag, hahahaha...!!!"
The two Wei soldiers laughed loudly as they talked, and the two around them also followed suit.
Huang Xi secretly clenched his fists, murderous intent flashing in his eyes: "After a while, I will take the other half of the people to the other side to set fire to attract the attention of their mobile troops. The remaining people will look at the right time to kill the four guards, and hurry up to get water. Get the water Evacuate immediately.”
"General Huang, there are nearly 4,000 cavalry in this camp. If you lead only 50 people, there is no chance of survival!"
"Needless to say, the water on the mountain is only enough for one day's drinking. If the water collection is successful this time, it will give the brothers on the mountain an extra chance of life, so you must succeed!"
"General Ma also asked us to come to inquire about the military situation. One of us must bring back the military situation of the Wei army."
After speaking, Huang Xi turned around, raised his arm and waved it down vertically, and the team automatically split into two halves.
"Those on the left are following me, and the rest are responsible for fetching water." Huang Xi quickly assigned tasks.
The chosen ones did not complain, they embraced each other with those who stayed to fetch water, asking them to pass their last words back home if they had the chance.
After half a moment, Huang Xi waved his hand and prepared to take action.
"Remember your responsibilities and be sure to bring information and water back to the mountain quickly!"
... ...
On the other side, Yue Fei led the soldiers of the Shu Kingdom to move quickly down the mountain from a mountain trail. However, due to the rugged mountain road and Zhang Xiong's injury, Zhang Xiong's cavalry could not move too bumpy, so the speed was much slower than that of the Shu Kingdom.
At the same time, in Jieting Ancient City,
"General Wang, our spies found something strange at the water source intercepted by the Wei army at the foot of the mountain. Judging from the costumes, they are our Han soldiers. They should be soldiers from the mountains joining the army."
On the city gate, a Shu soldier bowed and reported to a strong general who stood with his back to his back. This general was Wang Ping who firmly opposed garrisoning troops on the mountain. After trying to dissuade him to no avail, he asked himself to lead a thousand troops to garrison the ancient city of Jieting.
Now Wang Ping is leading a thousand soldiers in Jieting Ancient City while reinforcing defensive measures while constantly observing the movements of the Wei army.
If you observe carefully, you will find that the thousand people led by Wang Ping are all tall and strong, with high nose bridges and deep eye sockets, unlike Han people.
Wang Ping turned his fist behind his back and looked towards the foot of the mountain outside the city.
"The Wei army has cut off the water source for more than two days. There must be no water source on the mountain where Ma Junjun is stationed. Otherwise, he would not take the risk of sending people down the mountain to grab water... "
Despite Wang's usual reckless appearance, he spoke slowly and calmly. After thinking carefully for a moment, he suddenly turned around and said, "Wang Da, hurry up and gather five hundred troops to cooperate with Ma Jun!"
"Yes!" After receiving the order, Wang Da left without any hesitation. Within a moment, he quietly led half of his troops out of the city and lurked outside the camp where the Wei army was stationed.
The thousand men Wang Ping selected and brought out were not ordinary Shu soldiers. They were all warriors selected from the Qingqiang people after Zhuge Liang defeated the Southern Barbarians. They were all very brave and good at using crossbows and poisonous arrows. , is very good at mountain warfare, and is even more proficient in defensive operations. Zhuge Liang incorporated them into the Shu army, hoping to train them into an elite force to make up for Shu's lack of military strength.
Wang Ping has Zhi people's blood, and he belongs to the same Qiang people as the Qingqiang people. Naturally, we know that the people of this nation are born warriors. The Qingqiang people were oppressed by local forces before, but due to Zhuge Liang's policy of tolerance, they gradually integrated into the Shu nation. Wang Ping usually took more care of the Qingqiang soldiers when he was marching, eating and living with them, so this time when Wang Ping said he wanted to divide his troops, they all stood on Wang Ping's side.
These Qingqiang soldiers had not yet received formal military training and were only outstanding in individual combat capabilities. Wang Ping temporarily asked them to act according to their previous habits in their hometown. They are in groups of ten, and each group has a core. If one core is killed, it will not affect the actions of other groups.
"Wang Da, what do you think the Prime Minister thinks? General Wang Ping is obviously much more powerful than Ma Junjun, why did he choose him as the leader?"
While everyone was lurking, a burly man next to Wang Da spoke.
"Lao San, how many times have I told you that we are now soldiers of the Shu Kingdom and we should not talk about Shangguan at will."
Wang Da has been recognized as a warrior in the clan before, and the young men of Qingqiang all admire him. Compared to the others who are acclimatized, he appears to be much more stable.
"The Prime Minister said that we can slowly adapt, but you are the only one who is more serious..."
"Shut up!" Just when the third child was about to say something, Wang Da suddenly shouted in a low voice.
In the distance, I saw Huang Xi leading a small group of people around the camp at the rear of the Wei army and preparing to set fire to it. All the lurking soldiers quickly entered a state of alert.
"Isn't that General Huang? He dared to light a fire in the Wei army camp with only fifty people!"
Wang Da frowned. He saw Huang Xi's plan, but it was like hitting an egg with a stone. It seemed that General Huang was planning to sacrifice his life for justice.
Wang Da quickly raised his arms and made a gesture behind him. The soldiers behind him quickly dispersed and divided into three directions to hide outside the camp, ready to respond at any time.
On the other side, Huang Xi led fifty people near a Wei army camp with the intention of setting fire to attract the attention of the Wei army. Unexpectedly, he was discovered by the Wei army before the fire was started.
Huang Xi didn't expect that the Wei army would be so alert, even if the general was not there, he could react quickly to the slightest movement. He couldn't help but secretly compare, if it were the Shu army, it would be so well-trained...
"Hey! Just a few people dare to come and burn down our main camp. Is this Shu army crazy? Or does it just ignore our Wei army?" The leader of the conversation was a young man in black robes. He looked about fourteen or fifteen years old, and there was a young man of about the same age standing shoulder to shoulder with him.
