After the indiscriminate bombardment of Goryeo and Chuncheon counties, the only prosperous city on the road has become a ruin.

Although it was late at night, the fires that could be seen everywhere in the city lit up the ruined county as if it were day. In the blazing firelight, there were collapsed houses that had been blown up by artillery fire everywhere, and the smoke of gunpowder that filled the air and covered the bright moon.

Occasional explosions can be heard, but the troops patrolling the city are slaying down the remnants of the enemy.

Two hours ago, under the cover of artillery fire, the army finally broke through the heavily defended city. Of the 5,000 Goryeo divisions defending the city, more than 4,000 were killed in the artillery fire, except for more than 500 prisoners.

To achieve such results, the role of the nightingale is crucial.

According to the information provided by the nightingale in the city, more than 100 artillery pieces were aimed at the stronghold where the troops in the city were gathered.

After several volleys, the Goryeo soldiers who were hiding in various parts of the city were killed and wounded.

The artillery fire ceased, and a large number of infantry passed through the collapsed walls and entered the fortified city unimpeded.

Hunted and killed all the way, and now, the resistance forces in the city have been clearly wiped out.

The gate of the county guard yamen has long been blown up to the point that only half of it remains. The other half of the plank fell to the ground, still burning.

The lions on both sides of the door were also blown out of shape, and fell to the ground horizontally and vertically, as if they were dying, and they were panting.

Inside the dilapidated county guard yamen, the lights are bright.

In the only room that was still intact, Duan Peng was gathering several generals under his command to talk about the current situation of the army.

"Isn't there any news of Wang Gongye yet?" After determining the route of the next stage of the march, Duan Peng raised his head and asked the general beside him.

"Back to the general's words, not yet!" The general spread his hands helplessly and said with a smile.

"This bastard!" Duan Peng was worried and annoyed, and gritted his teeth and said, "If he dares to destroy Lao Tzu's five thousand elite cavalry." Lao Tzu didn't peel his skin alive! ”

"General, there is something unknown to my subordinates, and I hope the general will teach me!" The general hesitated for a moment and asked with a smile.

Duan Peng sat down, untied the water bladder on his waist, and after pouring a breath, he pointed to a chair with only two legs left, and said to the general: "Sit down and say!" ”

"General Xie!" The partial general sat down, took the water bladder handed over by Duan Peng, nodded gratefully, and after pouring a breath, he asked: "How could the general agree to let Wang Gongye lead the troops, and besides, he still brought five thousand elite cavalry with one surname?" ”

"What do you think of this kid Wang Gongye?" Duan Peng did not answer directly, but looked at the partial general and asked rhetorically.

"Captain Wang has a strategic vision and a sharp sense of smell that are difficult for ordinary people to achieve, and his judgment of the battlefield situation is extremely accurate. Moreover, this kid is ruthless and resolute, and he leads the troops in a good way, which is a rare general! The general thought about it and exclaimed with a look of convincing.

Wang Gongye enlisted in the army for more than a year and was promoted from a hairy soldier to a captain. This credit is hard to come up with a knife and a gun, and it can't be faked. Moreover, colleagues all see it, and this is the only way to say this.

"Well, you're right!" Duan Peng nodded with a smile, poured a sip of water, wiped his sleeves and wiped his mouth, and said with a relieved smile: "Originally, the general was worried that our old guys would die, and there would be no successor to the Great Zhou general!" When I see it today, haha, catching this kid is really the most proud thing for General Ben for so many years! ”

"Well, the general's eyes are like torches, and his subordinates admire them!" After complimenting him at first, the general still asked with a wry smile: "But, even so, Wang Gongye, with a captain, directly led 5,000 troops, which seems a little unreasonable!" In case the above is blamed, I am afraid that the general will not be able to escape the blame! ”

"What do you think General Ben thinks?" Listening to this general's analysis, Duan Peng also said with a wry smile. Doing this is not only unreasonable, but also disregards etiquette.

Looking at the general's sigh, it seems that there is a big hidden feeling: "Is there another hidden meaning in this?" The general's eyes lit up and he asked curiously.

"Hey!" Duan Peng let out a long sigh and leaned back on the rickety chair, his eyes closed. Thinking of the big news of that kid's hippie smiling face, Duan Peng smiled bitterly: "It's hard to say!" ”

…… The night is blank, and the wilderness is silent.

In the night sky, dark clouds cover the top. The earth was dark.

The wind blows, and in the barren wilderness, the artemisia grass is slightly undulating.

In the artemisia grass, there were occasional small animals, crawling excitedly, and then stopped, pricking up their ears to listen to the movements around them.

Suddenly, the groundhog stood up, stopped for a while, and as if in some great fright, threw away the grass seed in his hand, and swooped into the dense artemisia grass, and disappeared.

Suddenly, a group of war horses roared past, and the artemisia grass swaying in the wind was suddenly thrown into a mess.

One, two...... Thousands of horse teams, one after another. Coming like the wind, going away like the wind.

This elite cavalry of 5,000 men is now in its fifth night after setting out from Incheon.

Along the way, they conquered several enemy forces in a row and killed countless enemies. Although it was a long journey, I was extremely tired. However, these cavalrymen are still in high spirits. His bloodshot eyes shone like a wolf.

The army galloped through, and in the vast wilderness, only a group of black horses could be seen, lined up in neat teams, advancing rapidly towards the front.

The march continued until the early morning, and when the sun rose, the group finally came to a halt under a morning dew in the sky, like a jade belt, around the winding river.

Wang Gongye, who started at the front, had a calmness and courage on his slightly immature face that did not belong to his age.

When he had led his horse to the river, he tightened his grip on the reins, stopped, turned over and dismounted, walked to the river, took up the clear water of the river, washed his face, turned around, and said to the herald beside him: "Tell the brethren to dismount and rest for a while!" ”

"Yes," the herald turned on his horse, drove the horses, and galloped towards the back of the long line.

"The whole army dismounts and rests for the time being!" The herald ran all the way, shouting.

After hearing this coveted order, the soldiers, who had been galloping on their horses for several days, finally let out a sigh of relief and turned over and dismounted.

They dragged their tired bodies to the edge of the river, picked up the sweet and clear water, and drank it first.

Wang Gongye, who had washed his face, stood up and stretched. Refreshingly turned around, looked at the long line squatting by the river, laughed out loud, walked a few steps, and suddenly turned back and said, "Some time ago, didn't you ask me how I became this cavalry general?" ”

Hearing this, the soldiers turned their heads curiously, looked at the young general, and waited curiously for his reply.

"Actually!" Wang Gongye glanced at everyone, smiled slightly, and said: "It's actually very simple, I went through the back door, and this is how I became a cavalry general!" ”

"Go through the back door, can the general tell me wait, which woman's back door are you going through! Ha ha! A veteran coaxed with a smile on his face.

"Women, there will be in the future!" was ridiculed, Wang Gongye didn't care, waved his hand with a big grin, and after pretending to be mature, he continued: "The back door I walked through is not the back door you think about every day!" ”

"What the hell is the back door, General, don't lose our appetite!" The soldiers relaxed and made a joke about the general.

Seeing that the soldiers' emotions were mobilized by themselves, Wang Gongye coughed and asked with a smile: "Everyone knows the military division!" ”

"Yes!" Speaking of the military advisor, the soldiers' eyes lit up and they replied with a high-pitched emotion.

"Then do you know what the name of the military advisor is?" Wang Gongye smiled and asked proudly with his hands behind his back.

"I heard that the surname is Lu, a friend of King Huainan!"

"I heard that the military advisor is the first talent in Jiangning!"

"What is the first talent in Jiangning, is it the first talent in Da Zhou!"

For a while, the life experience of the military advisor became the object of speculation by this group of soldiers.

Listening to the noisy voices of his subordinates, Wang Gongye said with a smile: "What you said is right, but there is one thing I must tell you!" ”

"That's it!" After Wang Gongye paused, he said with a smile: "Actually, the military advisor is my brother-in-law!" ”

...... "You get the idea! ”

The county guard's mansion, Duan Peng, who had a dry mouth, took a sip of water, looked at the shocked general opposite, and asked with a smile.

"Huh?" The general was stunned.

"No, it's not! This ......" The general shook his head, and finally reacted, and stammered: "This, it seems a little too unbelievable!" ”

"Who's to say it isn't!" Duan Peng smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Originally, I also thought that Wang Gongye's kid was fooling me." Until, this kid said that before he was arrested and captured, he was the third young master of the Jiangning Wang family. And the military advisor, ahem, is the intimate little brother of the eldest lady of the Wang family, ahem! Ben will only know that this kid is not lying! ”

"Oh!" Hearing this, the general nodded suddenly.

"But!" After hearing this, the general suddenly thought of something, looked at the general and said: "However, the general dares to award him 5,000 cavalry, I'm afraid I don't know why, right?" ”

"That's nature!" Duan Peng nodded with a smile, and then lowered his voice and said, "Listening to what the prince said, although the military advisor is currently unofficial and unemployed. But in fact, it is the emperor appointed by His Majesty and the teacher of King Zheng! And King Zheng is the crown prince cultivated by His Majesty. Do you think, once King Zheng ascends the throne, the prestige of the military advisor in the Great Zhou will be unmatched. General Ben is doing this in order to make good friends with the military advisor and seek a good future! ”

"And, more importantly, Wang Gongye, this kid has this strength, all he lacks is an opportunity!" Duan Peng smiled and said with an expectant expression: "General Ben gave him this opportunity, as for how far this kid can mix, it depends on his personal creation!" ”
