Fifteen miles south of Wancheng, Zhang Ai and Cheng Xiao were ordered to press here, looking at Wancheng in the distance, the two generals should be really impatient to fight.

"Why hasn't General Lee come back yet?"

Zhang Ai asked, Cheng Xiao shook his head: "It is estimated that he was reprimanded by His Highness!" ”

It is also said that Wang Ping was originally the vanguard, with the strategy of fake war, supplemented by Li Yan, Zhang Ai, and Cheng Xiao's three rear armies, they could easily take Wancheng, but who would have expected that Wang Ping was careless and defeated, and was awarded the head of Wuzheng, which directly disrupted the offensive of the Shu army.

For a while, the two generals were restless, but General Li Yan ordered that before they returned, the two of them could not act without authorization, and they could only complain to vent their dissatisfaction.

As for the direction of Wancheng, Wu Zheng looked at the Shu soldiers who had retreated and camped for five miles, and said, "Sir, this Shu army has been resting for several hours, why don't you attack yet?" ”

Meng Xi thought about it, and couldn't find any clue: "It's hard to say, maybe Chang Yaosheng has already met the king of Shu and admonished the king of Shu's soldiers?" ”

"Possibly!"

After being reminded by Meng Xi, Wu Zheng pondered for a moment and said, "Why don't I attack the camp again and see where the Shu army is?" ”

Hearing this battle order, Du Yi and Wu Zhi immediately accompanied the request: "General, the two of us are willing to go together!" ”

Wu Zheng smiled: "If you all go, who will guard the city?" Don't be in a hurry, you will fight this battle! ”

It's just that Wu Zheng is still discussing whether to go out of the city to explore the enemy Shu army, and the horn came from the direction of the Shu army, Wu Zheng frowned, and said: "Damn... What is this really thinking? ”

The Shu army is in front.

After Li Yan returned, Zhang Ai and Cheng Xiaoer would immediately surround him.

"General, what's the situation? Can the last general go out to fight and kill! ”

"Ugh..."

Li Yan sighed: "Damn... Wang Ping's reckless assault was reprimanded by His Royal Highness, and now it is even more affecting our offensive! ”

"General, what do you mean by that? Shall we fight or not? ”

Faced with the questioning, Li Yan said: "I must fight, but I can't fight now, I have to wait!" ”

"Why? If it drags on for a long time, our morale will be reduced, and then it will not be good for us! Zhang Ai spoke his opinion, and Li Yan glared at him.

"These principles will naturally be understood, but Chang Yaosheng's old seed is not dead, he is still alive and ran to His Highness, crying and complaining, His Highness will spare him, let the latter guy advise His Highness, and then carry out the strategy of fake war and strong attack, and go out to fight tonight to capture Wancheng!"

To the north of Wancheng, Zhang Qi led the soldiers of his headquarters to rush to help, and when he arrived at the village in the direction of ten miles of Wancheng North Road, Zhang Qi ordered all the departments and schools to take a temporary break. Jiang Ji stepped forward and said: "Jiang Ji, seeing that the sky is about to get dark, why don't we hurry up and rush to Wancheng, so that we can rest in Wancheng?" ”

"Wancheng is a dilapidated house now, what are you doing in it? Besides, the generals are all cavalry, and they have a fart in the city! ”

Zhang Qi scolded and scolded, and Jiang Ji smiled.

"Order all schools to camp on the spot, send another sentry to Wancheng, and order General Wancheng, just say that the reinforcements of the Xishan battalion of the Zhongdu Army are here, how to fight next, you have to breathe!"

"My subordinates understand!"

Immediately, Jiang Ji was ordered to send orders to all schools to settle their positions, and as for Zhang Qi, Zhang Bao was recruited.

"Zhang Bao, the key to this battle is not Wancheng, this broken city is lost, the real victory or defeat is to offset the military strength of the Shu army and the Zhongdu army, whoever can hold out to the end will win!"

Zhang Qi said in detail, Zhang Bao said: "Little grandfather, the last general is the general of Zhangfu's family, can have today, all for the care of the little grandfather, your words, the sword mountain and the sea of fire, the last general will inevitably move forward bravely, swear to die without retreat!" ”

"What the hell? Ben will need you alive! Zhang Qi whispered in front of him: "These eight thousand elite horses are the foundation of the master's family, and the Shu army is the foundation of the Shu king Taoguang for nearly ten years, the master will not use his own family background to fight with the king of Shu, so the master will hand over half of the elite horses to you, remember, these four thousand elite horses are the retreat of the master, if the master wins, you will kill from the dark and end the battle, if the master loses the battle, you will lead the troops to rescue, there must be no mistake!" ”

"The last general understands!"

An hour later, it was getting dark, and Zhang Bao quietly left the camp with four thousand fine horsemen, without a trace.

Wancheng.

When Wu Zheng and Meng Xi discussed the possibility of resisting the night attack of the Shu army, the North Gate Sentinel came to report, saying that the reinforcements from Zhongdu had arrived, so that Wu Zheng could meet him.

"Reinforcements from the Central Capital?"

At first, when they heard this, Wu Zheng and Meng Xi thought that the Shu army was pretending to be a fraud, after all, the situation in the central capital had just been stabilized, and there were no extra generals in the military camps, otherwise they would not have sent Wu Zheng to lead the seal, so Wu Zheng ordered Du Yi and Wu Zhi to prepare for the enemy, and led his troops out of the city to investigate.

"His Majesty Emperor Jing is really gifted and pampered, and he can be in peace in just a few months, which is really a blessing for us!"

Under the sound of joy, Wu Zheng and Meng Xi welcomed the sentry into the city, and the sentry rode out in a few words, Wu Zheng said: "Since it is General Mingwei's order, the general should be respected, but the situation in Wancheng is critical, and the general will not be able to leave, so how about the temporary replacement of Mr. Meng Xi, the general?" ”

"Everything is at peace with the general!" The sentry rode down and straightened, and immediately, Meng Xi went out of the city with the sentry to meet Zhang Qi in order to decide the strategy of retreating from Shu!

When he came to the elite cavalry camp in the front camp of the Xishan Army, Meng Xi saw Zhang Qi, and Meng Xi was quite impressed by this young general.

"General Zhang, this battle is safe, all the generals are in your body!"

"Sir, seriously!" Zhang Qi smiled: "This trip is just the vanguard of the deputy general's cavalry, the general of the unified army Yuanzi period to suppress the army in the back, it is estimated that tomorrow afternoon to late at night after tomorrow, but this general heard that the Shu army is strong, and on the way here, the general will also exterminate some of the Shu army scattered cavalry, in order to avoid being trapped under the Shu army, this general needs to meet the generals of Wancheng and discuss a good military strategy!" ”

"General Zhang is scheming, and he is a true hero!" Meng Xi praised by the way: "Although the vanguard battalion of the Shu army was defeated, it had no impact on the strength of the army, so the next attack of the Shu army is bound to be very strong, and a certain hope strategy is to fight weakly and strongly, dragging the Shu army's soldiers, and the general will lead the cavalry to guerrilla outside, and find an opportunity to fight, so as to drag down the fighting spirit of the Shu army, and when it retreats from the troops, we will fight back together, and we will be able to win a big victory!" ”

"This is very good, this general will send two elite cavalry to carry out guerrilla warfare within a radius of thirty miles from Wancheng!"

Zhang Qi was very grateful, Meng Xi was grateful, but the two of them had not yet breathed, Zhang Qi's scout came to report, saying that the Shu army had launched an attack, hearing this, Meng Xi hurriedly said: "Without further ado, please attack immediately, and you also need to return to Wancheng to stabilize your position!" ”
