This day is the fourth day after Yue Fei woke up again.
When he opened his eyes again in the morning, he still found it incredible to feel everything around him.
Everything about the previous life was still so deeply engraved in his mind. He gradually couldn't tell whether he was in a dream now or whether the memory of the previous life in his mind was a dream.
"General, are you up?" The voice of Ma Di's soldiers came from the door.
"Come in!" Yue Fei shook his head to get rid of all the distracting thoughts in his mind. Now is not the time to think about this. He must first guard the street pavilion for Lord Wu. Only by guarding the street pavilion can the Northern Expedition succeed. The Northern Expedition will succeed. Only in this Three Kingdoms struggle for hegemony can the Shu Han Kingdom come to the end.
Yue Fei took the toiletries from the soldiers and looked at the wet square towel. He looked up at the somewhat gray-faced soldiers and asked, "Do we have enough water now? Do the soldiers drink enough water?"
"Enough, enough to drink. General, you are so awesome. With your method, each of our soldiers can now save a water bag of water every morning, which is enough for our daily water consumption." The soldier's eyes were bright. , looked at Yue Fei with admiration.
It seems that the morning dew still cannot solve the water source problem. We must go down the mountain as soon as possible, otherwise the health of the soldiers will not be guaranteed in this environment.
"Go and call Li Sheng and Huang Xi first." Yue Fei wiped his face with a wet square towel, and then called to the soldiers who came to the door.
"Wait a minute, let me know. Don't save water. Let's go down the mountain today!"
... ...
At the foot of Nanshan Mountain, the Wei army camp,
After yesterday's battle, the elderly Zhang He was a little exhausted and did not get up as early as before to train.
In yesterday's battle, Zhang He almost understood the general strength of Ma Su's team. If it were a head-on confrontation, his current more than 4,000 cavalry would not have any advantage at all. Reinforcements would arrive in seven or eight days, so it was better to rest and recuperate here. When reinforcements arrive, even if Ma Su has three heads and six arms, he will not be able to defend the street pavilion.
However, the noisy noise outside disturbed Zhang He's clear dream.
"General Zhang, Ma Di has led his troops down the mountain again!" The personal guard rushed into the camp without any regard for etiquette, mainly because Yue Fei's superb archery skills yesterday left a shadow on him.
"That guy is crazy. Their casualties in yesterday's battle were more than multiples of our army. Don't they need to recuperate?" Zhang He stood up angrily and put on his armor.
"Report!!! General, Ma Su led thousands of Shu troops and went straight to Jieting City!" Another soldier came into the tent to deliver a message.
"Hahaha! It seems that stationing in the mountain is not his plan. I still think highly of that kid! Did he block their way?"
Over the past few days, Zhang He originally thought that Ma Di had some plot behind his choice to garrison the mountain and place guards in Jieting City. It seems that he is overthinking.
"General Pi and Lieutenant Yue led two thousand cavalry to pursue them. Let me come and inform you."
Zhang He's hands tied around his waist paused for a moment. Fortunately, that boy Zhang Tong was injured yesterday. That boy Le Zhao is a good guy and shouldn't have any big problems...
"Quickly leave five hundred men to guard the camp, and the rest will follow me. We must not let that Ma Su enter the city!"
... ...
The four thousand Shu Han soldiers led by Yue Fei were overtaken by the Wei army about 800 meters away from the Jieting city gate.
In order to minimize casualties, the Shu Han soldiers fought and retreated all the way.
Fortunately, although the speed of cavalry is several times that of infantry, it is estimated that the soldiers who arrived in the city did not dare to form an encirclement, but only formed a half arc.
"General, if the fight continues like this, they will join up with the soldiers in the city." Le Zhao saw that the Shu soldiers were getting closer and closer to the Jieting city gate, and there were rows of Shu soldiers on the city wall beating drums to cheer. Powerless.
"If the city gate opens soon, we will rush in. With the strength of our elite cavalry, we are afraid that they will fail!"
The general who came with him had just been promoted and was eager to make meritorious deeds.
However, just when they were a hundred meters away from Jieting City, they were greeted by arrows filling the sky.
The rows of Qiang soldiers on the city wall all drew their bows and arrows, and each arrow shot powerfully at the Wei army camp.
"Now! Open the door and enter the city!" Just as the arrows were shooting out, Yue Fei and other generals covered the infantry and moved toward the slowly opening city gate.
What Zhang He saw when he arrived was this scene. Le Zhao took General Pi and inserted arrow feathers in front of the Wei army camp. Not far away, the gate of the street pavilion slowly closed, and then came What was heard were the cheers of victory from the soldiers on the city wall.
... ...
In Jieting City, the Shu Han army stationed at Jieting finally reunited smoothly.
To be honest, Wang Ping was still a little uneasy about facing Ma Su again. After all, he is a general and the prime minister's proud disciple. Before the war, he led more than a thousand soldiers to work alone because of disagreements. He should not be able to do it to anyone.
"General Wang, thank you for your hard work." These were Yue Fei's first words when he saw Wang Ping.
"My judgment was wrong before. Fortunately, you insisted on defending the city, so our army's casualties did not reach the point of irreversibility." "This is the second sentence.
Wang Ping had imagined countless possibilities, but never thought that Ma Su could admit his failure in decision-making so frankly and tell himself that he had worked hard.
Faced with the other party's openness, Wang Ping felt a little ashamed of his previous thoughts.
"General Ma, you also have your own considerations. The defense facilities of Jieting City are indeed in dilapidated condition. If the Wei army uses thunderbolt chariots to attack the city, it will take less than half a day to break through the city defense. And since our army has many infantry on flat terrain, it will naturally be no match for the opponent's cavalry. " It is undeniable that Ma Su's previous deployment also took into account the influence of factors such as the disparity in military strength, strength of arms, geographical situation, etc. If Zhang He had not cut off the water source, this would be a good strategy.
"Let's not be polite here. Wei's reinforcements should arrive in a few days. We must guard this place together for the prime minister." There is no point in discussing who is right and who is wrong. How to resist Wei's reinforcements next is the key point.
"Ma Canjun, according to your message, we have already started to strengthen the city defense."
Wang Ping led Yue Fei into the city. Along the way, groups of soldiers could be seen carrying clods of earth and stones toward the city gate.
Yue Fei was not sure whether Wuhou's wooden cow and flowing horse had a prototype at this time. At that time, the wooden cow and flowing horse only existed in historical records and folklore. Legend has it that the wooden cow and flowing horse made by Wuhou could walk on their own, but the real drawings had long been lost. , many craftsmen in later generations wanted to try to restore it, but no one knew what they were restoring.
I heard that the wheelbarrow is a simplified version based on the wooden cow and the flowing horse, but he is not familiar with carpentry. I wonder if the carpenter can make it after he drew the style of the wheelbarrow...
