"How many troops are hidden in Liuhe Mountain?"

After Wang Zheng gathered his thoughts, he remembered something again and couldn't help but frown slightly.

"Liu Bei's army ambushed him halfway and sent more than five thousand men..." He paced with his hands behind his hands and muttered to himself: "How many are left now?"

This issue is critical.

First of all, after this ambush, nearly a thousand of our four thousand Heavenly Army had been lost, and excluding those who were seriously injured, we had less than three thousand capable soldiers.

At this time, there were many soldiers who had lost their strength after fighting for a long time, so it was impossible to take advantage of the victory and immediately go up the mountain to attack the stronghold.

If the opponent still has men and horses on the mountain, they don't need more, just two thousand. The mountain road is rugged, and there are ambush traps...

But my family has to trudge from top to bottom, facing difficulties, and I am afraid that I will suffer heavy losses again.

"General," Gu Jian on the side scratched his head and said: "What Yuan Jun's sentry cavalry found before was only five or six thousand people in Tangyi City. No matter how many ambushes there are in Liuhe Mountain, they should not be able to exceed this number. After all, the Lord

If there is a difference, Tangyi is the really important place."

"In my opinion, this ambush on the other side is complete."

"I hope so." After looking at the terrain far and near, Wang Zhengsi thought for a while and ordered those around him: "Go and call the adjutants from the Tianzhu Camp."

Soon after, a man followed the guards into the commander's tent. He was in high spirits and high spirits. He cupped his fists and said loudly: "I will pay my respects to the general."

Wang Zheng turned around and looked around, and saw that he was wearing armor with bloodstains on his armor. He smiled and said: "Today is a great victory. You and your brothers in the camp have done the most, and you have earned face for your major!"

"Thank you, General." The adjutant rubbed his head naively, a little embarrassed.

"However, after the hard battle last night, most of the brothers are exhausted." Wang Zhengdao: "Next, we have to prevent the Guangling army from turning back. My intention is to let the other troops set up camp and repair immediately..."

After a pause, he continued in a soft voice: "You can lead the Tianzhu Camp garrison on the left and right, can you still hold on?"

There is no other way. Currently, the only ones who still have some spare energy are the Tianzhu Camp, which mainly focuses on the second and third levels.

"The general has entrusted you with such an important task, and I am not very honored to do so." The adjutant clapped his chest and said, "Not to mention the garrison, even if we are asked to kill the enemy again, we are still brave enough!"

"Haha." Wang Zheng nodded with satisfaction, and looked at it for a while. Seeing that the bloodstains on the deputy general seemed to be left by the enemy, but there was no trace of wounds on his body, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised, and praised: "What a good man.

!”

"The battle was so fierce, but you didn't get hurt at all?"

Gu Jian on the side heard the words and interjected: "General, I don't know. I was chatting with the brothers in the camp before, and I found out that Lao Yang is a well-known member of the Heavenly Army, General Fu. Since joining the army this year, no matter what

No matter how difficult and dangerous the battle was, I didn't even scratch my skin at all."

"General Fu?" Wang Zheng was dumbfounded. He was exactly the same as Wu Sheng. He couldn't help but laugh. His loud laughter broke the silence of the battlefield and frightened some birds that were pecking at flesh and blood.

"In war, sometimes luck is the most important thing." He nodded at the lieutenant general and said, "Bring me some wine!"

"Today you have won the hard battle, drink three cups full!"

"One respects Huang Tian, ​​the other respects the heroes of the army who fought hard, and the third respects the heroes who sacrificed their brothers!"

...

After half a day of hard fighting, not only the Tian army was exhausted, but the Guangling army that retreated never came back. Wang Zheng was still cautious and sent out dozens of groups of rangers ten miles away.

The Qingming moon rose again in the sky, the camp was hastily set up, and after arranging the soldiers for the night watch, Wang Zheng was also very tired. He insisted on patrolling the camp and condolences to some infantrymen. After two consecutive days of high-intensity hard work, even he was very tired.

This monster-like being felt top-heavy for a while, so he barely managed to carry himself back to the handsome tent and fell asleep.

The chirping of insects in summer became more and more wanton in the wild, mixed with the occasional sound of war horses neighing in the distance, waking Wang Zheng from his sleep.

He looked around, it was still dark, and through the tent, he could vaguely see the gentle night.

The soldiers on night watch beat the third watch drum, and a rush of footsteps came from outside the tent. Two or three barely audible whispers, and they refused to rest. The ancient sword in front of the guard tent tiptoed outside the tent.

"General?" he called in a low voice.

Wang Zheng stood up in his clothes, walked out of the tent under the moonlight, and asked, "What's the matter?"

"General." Gu Jian cupped his hands and said, "Shou Chun sent a messenger to report an urgent military situation?"

...

After looking at the person who came, Wang Zhenglue recalled that he should be one of Yuan Shu's personal guards, and his heart couldn't help but move.

Why did the Skeleton King's bodyguard come here as a sentinel?

He joked with a smile: "What? Could it be that the other troops have already finished their work, and Yuan Zhoumu sent you to supervise the battle to urge us to hurry up?"

"Report to the Governor." When the messenger heard this, he smiled bitterly and said in a low voice and hastily: "The villain sent by Zhou Mu is here to report urgently from eight hundred miles away!"

The gentle night suddenly became fierce. Wang Zheng raised his eyebrows and shouted directly: "Tell me."

"Not long ago, Zhao Xun's troops led 15,000 troops to attack Dongcheng, Gaoshan, and Huailing cities in one go. The troops advanced towards Xiapi. However, when they arrived at Tongguo City, they encountered an enemy general rising in front of the formation.

During the provocation, Lieutenant Zhao Xun stepped forward to fight with the general, but within three rounds he was beheaded by the enemy general. After that, our army was defeated!"

Zhao Xun...that bearded man is dead?

Then Mrs. Fan will not be a widow?

For some reason, this inexplicable thought came to Wang Zheng's mind immediately, and he was suddenly startled.

Whether Zhao Xun dies or not is none of his business, but if Yuan Jun was defeated directly in Tongguo along the way...

"Let me put it into the account." He didn't have time to think about it, and directly ordered his guards: "Open the map immediately!"

Then he turned around and told Gu Jian:

"Send an order for those in the army who are above the rank of uncle to come and assemble in my tent with a cup of tea!"

"Here!"

...

After looking at it for a long time, Wang Zheng snorted coldly and couldn't help cursing in his heart, Zhao Xun, this useless trash!

After Yuan's army was defeated and the victory was great, Liu Bei must have made great efforts to move the main force of the army forward to the south of Xiapi, which meant...

My connection with Yangzhou will soon be cut off!

What does this mean? The lonely army has gone deep!

He glanced at the messenger, thought for a while and said: "How many fighting troops are left on the way to Xiapi now?"

"Ten thousand people."

"Did you return to Yangzhou, or still stay in Xiapi?"

"Before the villain comes, Zhou Mu has decided to send another general to collect the remaining remnants and prepare for another battle!" The messenger said: "zhou Mu ordered me to come here to inform the governor Wang that we must capture Tangyi as soon as possible!"

Still use him to say it?

Wang Zheng's face was as dark as water, and he nodded and said: "I naturally know that, but Guangling is different from Xiapi. Not only did the army gather at the front, but Tangyi and Liuhe Mountain also have their own tribes at this time, and they are the horns of each other. What's more, this general yesterday We were also ambushed halfway by the enemy. Although we won the victory, the soldiers were still tired. If we don't rest for a while, we won't be able to attack Liuhe Mountain."

"If Liuhe Mountain is not taken, there will be enemies watching from behind. Neither I nor General Ji will dare to attack the city with all their strength, let alone capture it as soon as possible."

"How's it going over there in Jiangdong?" Zhao Xun was so unhelpful that Wang Zheng now didn't have much confidence in Sun Ce. He couldn't help but ask, "Do you know?"

"General Xiang Kou, the power of the tiger!" Hearing this, the messenger rarely smiled: "The journey has been overwhelming, and we have entered the hinterland of Wu County!"

Wang Zheng let out a long breath, that's good, at least there is a retreat to the southeast.

He had completely forgotten that he had slapped people in the face before. If he really retreated that way, it would be difficult to encounter Sun Ce.

Gu Qin

Wang Zheng just took a breath and turned around to complain again and again.

No wonder Sun Ce later dissatisfied with Yuan Shu. Looking at it this way, except for the little overlord, none of the generals under Yuan Shu could fight.

On Guangling's side, if he hadn't joined by himself, let's not talk about whether the general of Tangyi was Zhang Fei or not, just based on the combat effectiveness shown by the ambush army this time, if not for his own preparations and the bravery of the heavenly army under the system, Incomparable, if it were Ji Ning...

There is a high probability that there will be bad luck and bad luck.

As for Zhao Xun...not to mention.

Wang Zheng really felt that this person was extremely stupid and useless.

If you can't do it in a one-on-one fight, just don't join. If you want to die, the key is that you die so cowardly!

Having the general beheaded by a human formation would have greatly damaged morale, and what's even more troublesome...

He couldn't survive three rounds? Then he was completely defeated.

After pacing twice in the tent, Wang Zheng glanced at the messenger and said, "Thank you for your help. I already know about the incident. Does Ji Junwei know about it?"

"The villain came here first to make history." The messenger said.

"Then I'll trouble you to make another trip and inform Lieutenant Xia Ji." After thinking about it, Wang Zheng ordered again: "By the way, bring him a message for me."

"Please tell me, Governor."

"If you encounter someone who wields a spear, start a fight with him." Wang Zhengdao said: "Jiang Ji Junwei must not show off the courage of an ordinary man!"

...

Donghai County, Tancheng, Zhou Mu's Mansion.

"Zizhong, did you bring today's military report?" Hearing the footsteps outside the hall, the current Xuzhou Shepherd Liu Bei sat cross-legged on the table and asked directly without raising his head.
