Chapter 423 Wei Kang is defeated and Zhang Ji is facing the difficulties
Seeing that his brother Wei Kang was so bad, Wei Dan sighed and took over the military power. He whispered to the soldiers of the Wei family who were a little panicked around: "Don't panic, don't panic, listen to me, gather towards me. The enemy is only more than 3,000 people. Our Wei family army can kill 10,000 Yang family army and be defeated. Are you still afraid of these few thousand people? Brothers, don't panic, gather towards me!"
"A team of 100 people is divided into enemy formations. If one person can't beat them, two people will join together. If two people can't beat them, just one group of people will join us. We have 50,000 brothers. Are you still afraid of them?"
Wei Dan was not afraid of danger, and the orders he issued were considered to be fair. Although he had no name general, he also had the talent of a war general. His few words also made some soldiers who still had hope for the Wei family. Soon, thousands of soldiers gathered around Wei Dan.
However, Shibu and Wei family were defeated by Wei Kang. Even though Wei Dan wanted to turn the tide, he seemed so pale and powerless in this defeated ocean. In the end, he was dizzy by waves of waves and could not find the southeast, west and north.
Fortunately, just as the Wei family army was about to collapse, Wei Dan successfully gathered thousands of people. He also escaped safely with the escort of these people, and then disappeared.
At this point, no one in the Wei family army had the power to turn the world back, and the collapse had been achieved and could not be resisted by human power. The 50,000 Wei family army came in a mighty manner and ran away with their heads in their arms, like the collapsed tower, which disappeared in an instant and turned into nothing.
Wei Dan's outstanding performance just now was different from ordinary people. Taishi Ci was naturally very concerned about it. However, the battlefield was too chaotic and deserters were everywhere in the mountains. When he turned around, Wei Dan ran away without a trace. In desperation, Taishi Ci had to order to drive away the defeated troops of the Wei family, and finally subdued thousands of people and escorted them back.
This battle lasted only one hour, and Wei Kang escaped and his army was defeated. It was really sad, and it was in line with the old saying, "One soldier will be a bear, and the other will be a bear."
In a battle, the ability of soldiers is important, but more importantly, the ability to plan for the generals and arrange troops. This is the key to victory.
In this battle, Taishici became famous by relying on the battle of the Three Thousand Dragon and Tiger Guards, and the name of Taishi Ziyi in Donglai was like a whirlwind, spreading all over the seven counties of Sili in just over a month. At this point, the princes also knew that under Yang Fan, in addition to Guan Yu, Huang Zhong and others, there was also a man named Taishici, who was very powerful in the war.
Because there were many surrendered soldiers, Taishi Ci was unable to continue pursuing, and finally, the Wei brothers escaped.
At this time, the remaining people from the Dragon and Tiger Guard arrived one after another, and more than 15,000 Dragon and Tiger Guard soldiers gathered on the south bank of the wooden bridge. Today, with these soldiers guarding the wooden bridge, it is as solid as a god.
At this point, Huang Zhong finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However, the soldiers are in constant force and water is in constant form. No one dares to predict what happens tomorrow. Huang Zhong is responsible for the tens of thousands of troops of the Yang family army to move south. Even if Tongguan is close, he dare not act rashly. Everything needs Yang Fan to lead his army to arrive before making arrangements.
The Wei family army was defeated so quickly that it was overwhelming. Zhang Ji's 23,000 troops had just left Hongnong City for dozens of miles before they met the Wei family army's defeated troops who were in a panic.
Seeing this, everyone knew that the Wei family army was defeated, so Zhang Ji's army was in an embarrassing situation at this time. Whether to continue moving forward or return to the city to defend has become the problem that Zhang Ji needs to solve at the moment.
Zhang Xiu was also stunned and didn't know what to do.
In desperation, Zhang Ji had no choice but to order the army to stop temporarily and gather the defeated Wei family troops at the same time. Soon, Zhang Ji also met the defeated Wei brothers.
Not sure why, Zhang Ji asked in a deep voice: "What happened to the two young generals? You 50,000 troops were defeated without fighting?"
Zhang Ji's words made the Wei brothers very ashamed, but the reason was that Zhang Ji had collected too many defeated soldiers, with more than 30,000 people. In addition, the Wei brothers brought more than 40,000 people. This is not the case that ran away on the road. After a battle, he lost thousands of people and was defeated. Such an army really made Zhang Ji feel a little confused about what to say.
Wei Kang's face was red and red. He had a great deal of responsibility for defeat in this battle, and it was difficult to make any comments at the moment. Wei Ning's face was even more pale, his eyes were dull, his lips were trembling, and he was muttering in a daze. Only Wei Dan in the Wei family army was calm, but he, a weak scholar, had experienced too many twists and turns today, and would eventually lay a nightmare in his young heart.
Zhang Ji saw the expressions of the three of them. In addition to sighing in his heart, he also persuaded him kindly, "The three of them are all talents in our Sili realm. They just lost a battle. How could they even lose their souls? When the future is to reorganize and take revenge again!"
Wei Kang was deeply hit and blamed himself secretly; Wei Ning was unstable, as if he hadn't heard of it; Wei Dan was both wronged and scared at this time. After listening to Zhang Ji's persuasion, he replied weakly: "We have no chance of winning. This time, the one who traveled south was Yang Fan's guards and Longhu Guards. His fierce and fierce appearance. Only by fighting with them can we realize their horror. We... cannot beat them."
As he spoke, Wei Dan was still crying. After seeing this, Zhang Ji stopped talking and said intimately that the oldest of these three people was only over twenty years old. Now that they were suffering from such a disaster, their mood was inevitably fluctuating greatly. He turned around and asked Zhang Xiu, "Xu'er, have you ever heard of that Dragon and Tiger Guard?"
Zhang Xiu nodded and replied, "I have never had a fight with him, but I have heard rumors. It is said that Yang Fan once selected hundreds of brave generals from hundreds of thousands of Yang family troops to form a guard army. The troops were all covered in iron armor, holding iron spears, and sat down on horses. They remained as mountains, moved like thunder, coming and going like the wind, and their combat power was bright, and they were called the Dragon and Tiger Guard."
After hearing this, Zhang Ji's face changed and he exclaimed: "Wouldn't that be tens of thousands of generals? No wonder he can defeat the Wei family army so embarrassed!"
Zhang Xiu looked ugly, and at this time he had already felt relieved. However, the stubbornness that a young man had made him not say anything bluntly and dared not admit it in public.
As a veteran, Zhang Ji could guess more or less about Zhang Xiu’s thoughts at this time, perhaps because he loved Zhang Xiu too much, or because Zhang Xiu was his only heir. At this point, even though he knew there was a tiger in the mountain, Zhang Ji would still go to Tiger Mountain.
After repeated decisions, Zhang Ji gritted his teeth and said, "Although the Dragon and Tiger Guard is powerful, our Xiliang Army is not a vegetarian. Besides, we have gathered 40,000 defeated soldiers from the Wei family army just now. I really don't believe in more than 60,000 soldiers and horses. I can't defeat thousands of Dragon and Tiger Guards who are on the expedition. I passed the orders of this general that the defeated soldiers must be reorganized within today. Tomorrow morning, the soldiers will be launched on the wooden bridge!"
Zhang Jijun's actions were seen by the Longhu Guard's whistle cavalry, and immediately rushed to inform Huang Zhong with a quick horse.
After Huang Zhong received the news that Zhang Jijun did not retreat or advance, he hurriedly called Taishici to discuss and Huang Xu listened.
Since Taishici became Yang Fan's guard commander, he has often been with top strategists such as Xi Zhong and Guo Jia. Over time, Taishici has developed the habit of making plans and moving.
After listening to Huang Zhong's story, Taishi Ci concluded that Zhang Ji's general thoughts at this moment, but one thing really made him unable to understand, that is, even though he knew that the Dragon and Tiger Guard guarded the wooden bridge, and he lost another game before, he still wanted to rob him again. If he had a trump card, then Zhang Ji's brain was rusted.
When he thought of it, Taishi Ci said in confusion: "Zhang Ji's army has more than 20,000 people. Even if they have collected the Wei family army, there are only more than 60,000. With Wei Kang's previous lessons, would Zhang Ji dare to come and snatch the wooden bridge again?"
Huang Zhong was also very puzzled. He asked Jia Mu beside him: "Nephew, tell us in detail about what Zhang Ji did in Sili in the past or two years."
As the commander of Diting Camp in the Sili territory, Jia Mu led his men to set out from Chang'an when Gan Ning first crossed south to help Gan Ning guard the bridge. However, he was still half a day late, which almost caused a disaster. Then he entered Huangzhong Camp and waited for the order.
Hearing Huang Zhong's inquiry, Jia Mu hurriedly replied: "Since the Li and Guo rebellions, Zhang Ji has taken over Hongnong County with his 20,000 troops. It has been more than a year since. During this period, he has not recruited troops and has never managed the local area. It can be seen that this person has no ambition to compete for hegemony, and it is more like he is sitting on the ground and waiting for the other princes to win over. Zhang Ji has no son, so he accepted his nephew Zhang Xiu as his adopted son. Zhang Xiu is good at fighting, and he is a brave general. His military power is similar to General Wenpin. The Wei family in Chang'an can send troops from him. I guess it is not that Zhang Ji is unwilling to surrender, but that Zhang Xiu is interfering with General Zhao Yun of our army."
After listening to Jia Mu's analysis, Huang Zhong also felt it was reasonable. He had soldiers and land under his command, and he could fight. In this chaotic world, everyone would have other ideas. Since he was a young man, who wouldn't want to fight?
After hearing that Zhang Xiu was actually related to Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong asked quickly: "Is it because Zhang Xiu or Zilong's relative?"
Jia Mu shook his head and replied, "This is not true. Zhang Xiu learned from the master of guns, Tong Yuan, and Master Tong when he was young. If he counted it seriously, Zhang Xiu would still be General Zhao's senior brother!"
Huang Zhong suddenly realized, touched Han's short beard and said, "Since Zhang Xiu has this relationship with Zilong, we must plan it carefully. At least, Zhang Xiu cannot kill him."
Taishi Ci smiled and said, "Since you can't kill me, you can capture me alive. Will Zilong still be evil because of this?"
