Chapter 863 Zhang Xing's Adventure
Faced with thousands of enemies, the five were unable to do anything at all, so they were killed on the street, not even having a chance to call for help.
In one night, more than 2,000 villagers in Wangjiaao were all killed, and no one from the elderly over 60 years old to the children under the age of 3 survived.
Everything in the village that could be used and eaten was scavenged, and the last fire wiped everything out.
The fire burned until noon on the third day, when the first soldiers of the Fifth Legion arrived at the light of the fire.
It is a coincidence that the commander of the 24th Regiment of the Fifth Army Corps who came to investigate the situation this time was the second prince Zhang Xing.
After the design captured Sun Quan, Zhang Xing was promoted from battalion commander to commander of the 24th Regiment. And this time it was the first time he led the team alone after becoming the head of the regiment.
After seeing the fire that had ignited in Wangjiaao, Zhang Xingde reported to his superiors, that is, Song Bo, the commander of the Seventh Division, and then led the team to come.
The team of 2,000 people, after coming to Wangjiaao, which was burned by the fire, Rao is Zhang Xing was used to seeing life and death on the battlefield, but he couldn't help but be shocked.
An entire village of more than 2,000 people was robbed like this, and there was no one who could breathe, which made Zhang Xing just feel a wave of anger in his heart and couldn't vent it.
"These dogs are 0." In anger, Zhang Xing couldn't help but burst out foul language. Even if you have a good education, when you see the scene in front of you, you can't help but roar.
"Commander, what should I do? The entire village was searched, but not a single mouth was left alive. The commander of the first battalion also came to Zhang Xing with an angry expression.
"Bury them, bury them all, and put them in the ground." The only thing Zhang Xing can do now is this, but at the same time, he also gave himself a death order in his heart, that is, he must find those pirates and make them pay for what they have done.
The corpses were incomplete, Zhang Xing picked them up as much as he could, and then buried them one by one, but from beginning to end, there were still no useful clues found.
But even if there were no clues, Zhang Xing still asked the soldiers to look for them, and he didn't believe that after killing so many people at once, he couldn't even find a trace of the murderer.
Zhang Xing was still sending people to look for something, even if he was the top boss, Song Bo, the commander of the Seventh Division, sent a few orders to urge him to go back, he was always indifferent.
Zhang Xing led the 24th Regiment of 2,000 people to stay on the scorched land in Wangjiaao Village, as if he was digging three feet into the ground to find something useful.
This situation has been under the watchful eye of the pirates' spies.
Yu Ban is cautious, and the requirement for his subordinates is that even if a thing has been done, it cannot be taken lightly, and it is necessary to continue to follow up until the matter is completely resolved, leaving no trace of aftermath.
Because of this, after slaughtering Wang Jiaao, the army of pirates left, and the spies stayed, and they watched Zhang Xing's every move.
"What? They haven't gone yet, it's the seventh day. In the deep mountain nest of the bandits, General Yu Ban had a look of surprise on his face after hearing the report of the secret agent.
It has been nearly ten days since the slaughter of Wangjiaao, and it is normal to say that the army of the Celestial Empire has come to investigate the news, but it is really incomprehensible that they have not left these days.
Could it be that they really found any useful clues?
Yu couldn't help but have doubts in his heart, and his face was full of incomprehension. Seeing General Oshima, who was also in the tent, couldn't help but show a look of excitement.
From the bottom of his heart, Oshima still admires General Yu Ban very much. At least they had been in the Jiangdong realm for several months, and they had still not been discovered by anyone, and with this, he thought that he couldn't do it, which was why he was willing to obey the other party's orders.
Since these encounters of time, Oshima has also figured out one of Yu Ban's habits, that is, this person is cautious and cautious, but he is also ruthless.
It is precisely for this reason that Yu Ban does not show anything.
And often, when Yu Ban suspects something, the final action is a decisive word - kill.
As long as all hidden dangers are invisible, they will not be discovered by anyone.
Now, the army of 2,000 people of the Celestial Empire has stayed in Wangjiaao for so long and has not left, it is likely that they have discovered something, if this is the case, then according to the forbidden character, there is only one word left, that is, kill.
Oshima thought well, and it didn't take long for Yu Ban's face to show a ruthless look, and then he showed a fierce look on his face, and his tone became very resolute: "That's the case, order the scouts to find out if there is a Heavenless Empire army nearby, if not, destroy these Celestial Empire soldiers." ”
Yu Ban still made a decision, that is, for the sake of safety, and regardless of whether the Celestial Dynasty army had discovered anything these days, he would kill one hundred and kill one hundred.
Yu Ban finally made up his mind, and Oshima on the side hurriedly stood up, and then said excitedly: "Okay, the general's order is good, I will prepare immediately, and this time I will guarantee to kill a soldier of the Celestial Empire." ”
It is naturally a good thing that Oshima is so confident. And in his heart, he did lose interest in slaughtering ordinary people, and in his opinion, it was a glorious thing to be able to kill the soldiers of the Celestial Empire.
As soon as Oshima made a statement, Yu Ban's voice sounded, "General, this time we are facing the soldiers of the Celestial Empire, we must be cautious and careful, and we must not underestimate the enemy." ”
"Hehe, General Yu can rest assured." Oshima said confidently.
It's not that he doesn't have experience in dealing with the Celestial Empire's army, for example, he participated in the killing of Cheng Pu, and in his opinion, the combat effectiveness of this country's army is nothing more than that.
It's just that Oshima doesn't know, although it is also a Chinese army, but the combat power of the Celestial Empire army and the Jiangdong army are indeed not the same, especially the army led by Zhang Xing.
Who is Zhang Xing?
That is the son of Zhang Chao, the emperor of the Celestial Dynasty, and the eldest brother of Zhang Tian, the crown prince of the dynasty.
If you want to say the only drawback, it is that you are too young and not very experienced. It's just that Zhang Xing, who has experienced so many wars, has already grown up slowly, and his progress is far from Zhang Chao's imagination.
It is precisely because of Zhang Xing's identity that although he is only the commander of a regiment, the equipment and combat effectiveness of the army are indeed few comparable to other regiment-level units.
Whether it is Song Bo, the head of the division, or the commander and division of the Fifth Army Corps, they all know Zhang Xing's identity, and it is reasonable to be inclined in terms of resources. As a result, the combat effectiveness of the regiment he led has risen to a higher level.
Yu Ban sent scouts to investigate the situation of the Zhou family in Wangjiaao, and Zhang Xing, who had been surrounded by it, was also not idle, he was secretly building layer after layer of defense.
Zhang Xingben is a person with a master, brave and wise.
It can be described as a cunning word, he fights more with his heart, and sees war as an art.
It is precisely because of this that Zhang Xing has these actions after he moved his mind.
The bandits are haunted, their whereabouts are uncertain, and the father threatens to solve the problem of the bandits within three months, as a son, he naturally wants to help his father solve the problem, Zhang Xing thought of the trick of luring the snake out of the hole, but although the method is there, there is indeed a lack of an opportunity.
The slaughter of more than 2,000 people in Wangjiaao Village is an opportunity for Zhang Xing, an opportunity to use himself as bait.
Through investigation and comparative analysis, it was found that these bandits are very cautious, often after doing a thing, they will destroy the corpse and destroy the traces, leaving no traces, in the face of such an enemy, if you want to catch them, you can only disrupt their positions first, let them feel afraid, only in this way, may show the horse's feet, there are traces.
Under such thoughts, Zhang Xing stayed in Wangjiaao and had no intention of leaving, he just wanted to lure the enemy into the trap to deal with himself. It's just that he can't be sure if such an idea can be realized, so he didn't tell anyone, just stubbornly stayed in Wangjiaao, waiting for the movement.
It's like a master fisherman, quietly sitting by the river waiting for the big fish to take the bait, not in a hurry or dry.
After waiting, another two days passed. Song Bo, the commander of the Seventh Division, sent two more orders, but he still could not be mobilized. Finally, on the morning of the third day, we waited for the appearance of the army of pirates.
Two days was enough time for the scouts sent by Yu Ban to find out everything. After learning that there was no Celestial Empire army in the vicinity to ambush, they finally decided to make a move against Zhang Xing.
General Oshima went out with a full 5,000 men.
They didn't choose to be at night, because Yu Ban said that fighting at night, the army of the Celestial Empire is also very good at it.
That is to say, the time for the start of the war is set for early in the morning. This time is often the time when people's vigilance is the lowest, and taking this time to do it may play a role in surprise.
"Commander, someone outside the village has found that they are starting to approach us, and the sentry hiding in the village for two miles has sent a message." Zhang Xing, who was still sleeping in the temporary military tent, heard a report from his subordinates.
"Is it really coming?" Zhang Xing sat up suddenly, although he looked a little sleepy-eyed, but there was indeed a hint of fierce light in his eyes.
After waiting for nine days in Wangjiaao, I don't know how many times I disobeyed the military order, isn't this the result of waiting?
