Zhang Xing retreated, waiting for Oshima to gather his army, but there was no trace.

"General, shall we catch up?" An adjutant general proposed.

With anger on his face, looking at the burned and shattered barracks, the green tendons on Oshima's face trembled, showing the anger in his heart. But it was not ordered to pursue, and now it is not yet dawn, who knows if the other side has any ambush? "Forget it, order the soldiers to clean the barracks, and if you are tired all night, bury the pot and cook."

"General, the soldiers are tired, do you want to continue the attack during the day?" Again, the lieutenant asked.

"No need, just rest for a day, the reinforcements from the Celestial Empire didn't come so quickly, besides, there is Yu Ban guarding there on the periphery." Oshima shook his head, after a night of hard fighting, he knew that it was impossible to continue to attack Wangjiaao today.

The evening attack was exchanged for a day, which was worth it for Zhang Xing.

Although it was said that when the battle report was finally summarized, there were only more than 200 enemies killed, and more than 100 injuries were injured, Zhang Xing was still very happy. At the same time, his eyes also looked into the distance, and he believed that the news of his siege should have been spread, and it would not be long before reinforcements arrived.

Song Bo, the commander of the Seventh Division of the Fifth Army Corps, was looking anxious at the moment.

Zhang Xing's disobedience to the military order really made him very angry, and he even reported the matter to the legion for how to deal with it.

Song Bo has never thought about how to treat Zhang Xing, with such a Lao Tzu, how can he be punished if he is punished. It's just that he has already made up his mind, that is, after waiting for Zhang Xing to come back from Wangjiaao, he must invite this god away no matter what, otherwise, he will be too much of a scumbag as the division commander.

It's just that before Zhang Xing came back, a scout came to report, saying that a fire suddenly ignited in the direction of Wangjiaao, and this change surprised Song Bo.

Wangjiaao has been slaughtered in the village, where is there anything to burn? If there really is a fire, it must be surrounded by people, which means that something must have happened there.

Hurriedly rejecting and waiting for another visit, Song Bo called the other four regiment commanders as soon as possible to prepare for battle.

The fire was originally arranged by Zhang Xing, and after discovering the traces of the bandits, he knew that he was in a siege, and at that time, in addition to releasing the letter eagle and informing his father, he ordered someone to light the fire that had been prepared for warning.

So, when the scout returned shortly after being dispatched, he told Song Bo that he had found a trace of a pirate there.

The pirates appeared, doesn't that mean that Zhang Xing is in danger?

This was repaid, and Ningbo immediately gathered the whole division of men and horses, and hurriedly marched in the direction of Wangjiaao, and at the same time quickly reported the situation to the Fifth Army Corps.

Zhang Xing was besieged, and after Shuangxu of the Fifth Army received the news, he did not dare to delay for a moment, and immediately began to mobilize nearby troops to join the siege. At the same time, an order was issued that all divisions and regiments did not need to ask for instructions, but whenever they saw a bandit, they would go to war directly.

The movements of the Fifth Legion were very fast, but they were still much slower than the Zhang family light cavalry that was rapidly approaching.

After getting the military order, General Guan Yu and Zhang Gun took two thousand light cavalry out of Jianye and quickly came in the direction of Wangjiaao, and along the way, they were day and night, non-stop, and hurried.

Even if it is called light cavalry, it is naturally based on speed. Horses are good horses, people are good people, and for a moment they are like a sharp knife coming straight in, and if you look at the map, you will find that this cavalry of 2,000 people is like a red arrow, killing in a straight line.

At this time, on the periphery of Wangjiaao, the Seventh Division led by Song Bo was the first to arrive here and indeed rushed into the ambush circle that Yu Ban had set up a long time ago.

To be honest, it was indeed a bit unexpected that the Celestial Empire army would appear reinforcements so quickly. Fortunately, he was cautious in doing things, and he had already prepared an ambush, so after a wave of attacks, he repelled the Seventh Division.

This was the first time that the Seventh Division had fought head-on with the pirates, and it was somewhat arrogant. It was only after nearly losing a thousand men that Song Bofang knew how terrible this enemy was.

Seeing that the Seventh Division rushed out of the encirclement and threw down the corpses on the ground, Yu Ban's face couldn't help but show a hint of relief, "This time, the Celestial Empire army should be more honest, as long as it lasts all night, presumably the battle of Wangjiaao should be over, so we should also consider retreating." ”

As far as Yu Ban is concerned, the two thousand soldiers of the Heavenly Dynasty in Xiao Wangjiaao did not pay attention to it at all, what he was worried about was how to retreat, after all, this time he was facing the army of the Celestial Empire, once he was entangled by the other party, he was afraid that the enemy's reinforcements would come one after another, and the retreat would become troublesome.

Yu Ban did not put the two thousand Heavenly Dynasty soldiers in his eyes, firstly, because he had confidence in Oshima, and this time the people who followed Oshima were all the so-called elite divisions of Yamato, and they were all warriors who could defeat two or even more with one. It will not be a problem for such an army of 5,000 people against 2,000 people.

Second, although the Celestial Empire army is strong, after all, far water can't quench the thirst of the near, he has already calculated it, even if the news comes out, when the main force of the Celestial Empire army arrives, it will be five days at the earliest, and five days is enough for him to solve all the problems in front of him.

It's just that Yu Ban has calculated a lot, and he never imagined that this time it was the son of Zhang Chao, the emperor of the Celestial Dynasty. Because it was Zhang Xing who was surrounded, things were naturally in a big way, and the speed of all the reinforcements was much higher than before, and the reinforcements that would have taken six or seven days away also tried their best to arrive within five days.

Let's not talk about Yu Ban's miscalculation, let's just say that Oshima has encountered a lot of trouble here.

First, the sneak attack failed, and then there was a counter-sneak attack, and when the attack began on the third day, it was attacked by gunpowder, and it was completely unprepared, and it was blown up, killing and wounding more than 500 people.

Zhang Xing obtained these gunpowders through his own identity. The gunpowder that the division commander wanted to get by sharpening his head was not difficult for Zhang Xing, a regiment commander, to ask for it.

It is precisely because of this that with these confidences, Zhang Xing dared to take risks alone, used the identity of the head of a group as a bait, and successfully lured out the pirates.

After a night of sneak attack, Zhang Xing did not rush to rest after returning to the village with his army, but buried the explosives in the ground early, and only after he had done this that he ordered the soldiers to rest.

After a night's rest, early on the morning of the third day, sure enough, Oshima appeared with the army, and then ushered in explosives with great destructive power, and hundreds of dead and wounded had to retreat.

I had heard Yu Ban say before that the Celestial Empire army was not easy to deal with, but Oshima didn't care, but until now, he knew that this was not only difficult to deal with, but it was simply extremely difficult to deal with.

It's just that now, it's impossible to get Oshima to be removed. Yamato advocates the demeanor of a strong man, and will never allow anything to happen.

"The whole army will fight again tomorrow, and these Celestial Dynasty soldiers will be killed no matter what, I don't believe that they have such things." Oshima said unconvincedly.

The reason why he needed to rest for a day was because Oshima wanted to cheer up the warriors below, the explosives were too powerful, his soldiers had not seen them before, and now many people were still shocked by the loud explosions, and if they did not give some encouragement, they would be afraid that it would be difficult to order them.

The power of explosives won Zhang Xing another day, but there was not the slightest joy on his face.

The explosives have run out, and once the war starts, it will be a bitter battle. Looking back at the more than 1,000 soldiers behind him, Zhang Xing didn't know how many people would be alive after the First World War.

Now Zhang Xing just hopes that the reinforcements can arrive quickly, otherwise, I am afraid that all the brothers will be buried here.

On the periphery of Wangjiaao, Song Bo, the commander of the Seventh Division, once again led the army to charge, and under the condition that he ordered to die and not retreat, he launched a fierce battle with the army led by Yu Ban.

The battle was almost over at dusk, but Song Bo still did not break through the blockade set up by Yu Ban, leaving behind the corpses of nearly 2,000 soldiers and forced to retreat.

The loss of Song Bo's seventh division is not small, but the loss of the army brought by Yu Ban is also not small, the army of 10,000 people he originally led, and lost more than 1,000 people in a battle, which is still in his defense, under the situation of the opponent's attack, but even if it is to wait for work, it also does not make any cheap, just from this point of view, it can be seen how strong the combat power of the army of the Celestial Empire is.

lost a group of men and horses, but still did not break through the defensive line, which made Song Bo, who had withdrawn, furious, and reprimanded several of his regiment commanders on the spot, and then announced that he would fight again tomorrow, and if he couldn't attack again, then everyone should not come back.

Song Bo gave the death order because he knew that once something happened to Zhang Xing, then it would not be a matter of losing their heads, but the lives of the whole family would be affected.

Compared with Song Bo's determination to die, Yu Ban was indeed a little puzzled by this meeting.

It's just that it was surrounded by a regiment, why would the Celestial Empire army be so desperate, even at the cost of losing a group of men and horses, but still put on an offensive posture? If you just want to destroy yourself, then you can contain it, what is the reason for such desperateness?

Yu Ban couldn't think clearly, and it was impossible to think clearly. Because no matter how powerful the scouts under him are, it is impossible to find out Zhang Xing's identity in a short period of time.

It was precisely because he couldn't understand that Yu Ban was a little scared, and when things were out of his control, he had a bad feeling in his heart.

"How's it going with General Oshima? If you say that you will launch a general attack tomorrow, will you be able to take it down? Yu Ban asked the lieutenant general beside him.
