After the "Detachment of Women" occupied the county seat of Huxian County, they decided to continue to expand their results and attack the county seat of Wugong County.
Wugong County is a large county with more than 100,000 households. Because the location of Wugong County was very important, the imperial court stationed five thousand troops and heavily defended it.
Although the "Detachment of Women" numbered more than 10,000 people, it was almost three times the number of defenders. However, when it comes to combat effectiveness, the two are not on the same level at all.
The "Women's Army" is not a battle-hardened army. To put it bluntly, they are just a bunch of rabble. Therefore, it is not easy to capture Wugong County.
The team set off early that morning and dragged it for more than ten miles like a sheep shitting. The brothers were carrying various weapons, in groups of three and five, chatting, laughing, and laughing. It didn't look like they were going to war, but like they were going to a market.
The third sister, dressed in military uniform and riding a maroon horse, galloped back and forth beside the queue, urging the team to speed up the march.
After more than an hour of marching, they arrived at a place called Wuzhangyuan. When Li Zhiyun heard others mention the name of this place, he thought that this was the Wuzhangyuan where Zhuge Liang died of illness, right?
Wuzhangyuan is actually a canyon. The canyon is very wide and has high mountains on both sides. Because it is located at a traffic chokepoint, it has been a battleground between warring parties since ancient times.
The official army had already discovered that the "Detachment of Women" was coming to attack the county town, so they sent two thousand troops to line up here to fight the "Detachment of Women".
The two armies met and each formed a formation, about one hundred and fifty feet apart.
Li Zhiyun was almost happy when he saw it: the contrast between the two sides was too sharp.
On the side of the officers and soldiers, the formations were neat, the soldiers' helmets were shining, and their armors were bright. The weapons are also uniform, some hold spears, and some hold daggers and shields.
On the side of the "Women's Army", although there were many people, they were not in formation and were huddled together in a mess. The clothes are diverse, and the weapons in their hands are also various. Some even hold farm tools such as hoes and rakes.
In front of the enemy's formation, there was an officer riding a white horse and wearing a silver helmet. This guy is so dark that he looks like a "black charcoal head" against the backdrop of the white horse he is riding on.
Hei Tantou ran up to the middle of the two armies, pointed the sword in his hand, and shouted: "Are you just a bunch of beggars, you want to attack Wugong County? Go home and have your children!" After saying this, he laughed "Haha" .
When the third sister, who was standing in front of the formation, heard this, her face turned red with anger, and she shouted loudly: "Don't let the traitor be so rampant, I will have your head removed immediately!"
Hei Tantou laughed and said, "Young lady is pretty, so why not go back home with me and become a bed-heating concubine?"
The third sister was so angry that she gritted her teeth and filed the jade nails, her eyes were filled with golden flames, she took off the bow from her back, drew out the arrows, drew the bow and fired, and the arrows went straight to the opponent's front door. Heitantou swung his sword to block it, then raised the reins to turn the horse's head, returning to the front of his army's formation.
The third sister took back her bow and ordered loudly: "Blow the drums to cheer! Follow me and kill the general!"
So, when the war drums beat, the third sister took the lead and led the "women's army" to rush over...
Li Zhiyun stood there and watched the battle. He saw that although the rebels all rushed forward, they were all weak and their morale was obviously low.
Sure enough, not long after the two sides fought, the rebels were defeated. When Li Zhiyun saw that the situation was not good, he turned around and ran away.
The officers and soldiers took advantage of the victory to pursue, and many rebel brothers were stabbed to the ground. Li Zhiyun turned around while running and found that the officers and soldiers were about to catch up. When I was in a hurry, I saw Aunt Ying coming across with a white horse and shouted: "Fifth Young Master, get on the horse quickly!"
When Li Zhiyun saw the joy, he quickly ran to the horse, hugged the horse's neck and jumped up, but he couldn't jump up.
When Aunt Ying saw the situation, she became anxious and shouted: "Step on the pedal, oh, you are so stupid!..." She bent down and stuffed his left foot into the pedal sleeve, and then put him on the horse's back with force.
Before Li Zhiyun could sit firmly, Aunt Ying slapped the horse on the butt. The white horse couldn't bear the pain and galloped wildly, almost throwing him off the horse. He was so frightened that he hugged the horse's neck and heard the wind whistling in his ears...
"Damn it! You must learn to ride a horse quickly, otherwise it will be too inconvenient to escape!" He was thinking about it in his mind when the white horse suddenly stopped.
It turned out that the officers and soldiers did not pursue them too far. They only pursued them for a mile or two before retreating. The people around ran for a while and then stopped.
The white horse had probably been battle-hardened for a long time and knew there was no need to run any further, so it stopped. It also turned around, as if looking for its owner.
After Li Zhiyun was frightened, he began to worry about Aunt Ying: Aunt Ying gave him a horse to ride, what happened to him? Could it be that he was captured by the army?
He was worried when he suddenly saw Yinggu riding on a horse with another female soldier. Aunt Ying also saw him, waved to him and called: "Fifth Young Master, Fifth Young Master..." He was relieved.
After Li Zhiyun climbed down from the horse, he saw the third sister galloping over on the bay-red horse. She reined in the reins next to an ancient locust tree, dismounted, sat on a big rock, and took off her sweat towel to wipe the sweat from her forehead.
Li Zhiyun walked over, sat down on a stone next to him, pulled out a grass stem, chewed it in his mouth a few times, spit out the grass stem and said, "Sister, do you know why we lost the battle today?" The third sister glanced at He glanced at it and said, "Why?"
"Because we have no organizational power. Therefore, even though we have a large number of people, we cannot defeat the official army."
"What is organizational power?"
"Organizational power is..." Li Zhiyun thought for a moment, stood up and went to pick up a dead branch. He broke the branch into small sticks, then sat down on the stone, took out a stick and said, "A stick can be easily broken." After saying this, he snapped the stick in half with a "click".
Then, he took out several small wooden sticks and said, "If you tie them together, they will not be easy to break. This is called organizational strength."
The third sister seemed to understand, and asked again: "Hey, how can I have... organizational skills?"
Li Zhiyun tapped his head with his fingers and said, "I have to think about this..."
In the battle of Wuzhangyuan, the "Women's Army" killed more than a hundred brothers, and the third sister had to lead the team back home.
