Chapter 27: An Unexpected Encounter
Since noon, the sky has gradually become gloomy, and dark clouds are rolling and converging overhead, as if a rainstorm is coming, which makes people feel depressed, just like Zhuge Liang's mood at this time.
Walking on the road to the base camp, those little soldiers are respectfully saluting him, as the supreme commander-in-chief of the three-way army of Shu State, one person is above 10,000 people, he has absolute power and prestige, and is more admired and loved by 10,000 people.
"Master Strategist, you've worked hard."
"Your morning command is amazing!"
"Our Shu Kingdom will definitely be able to repel the Wei State under your leadership, right?"
It's all meaningless flattery and greetings, if it were in normal times, Zhuge Liang might have nodded his head one by one, and said "stick to his post" at the right time to respond to the enthusiasm of the little soldiers, but today, he didn't say a word.
It's been the second day since I came to the battlefield of the canyon, but the war launched by Wei was not as fierce as I imagined, not only that, but the lower road army under the leadership of the monarch Liu Bei and Zhang Fei defeated the black armor army of Wei State, and the good news came frequently, and there was even a tendency to have troops to come to the first defense tower on the lower road of Wei State, which was originally a happy thing, but for some reason, he always felt inexplicably uneasy about it in his heart.
Is this the strength of the Wei State?
In fact, after knowing that the enemy was the powerful Wei State, Zhuge Liang had already prepared for the worst, after all, the Wei State was the most powerful of the three major countries, and its king Cao Cao was a long-standing heroic and commander-in-chief, and it was necessary to pay a great price to repel them at a great price, and even if necessary, it was possible to face the problem of abandoning all the defensive towers on the periphery to stick to the high ground.
But none of this happened.
During the two days of fighting, except for the reports of casualties of a few creeps, no heroes were killed on the battlefield, and of course, no news of the destruction of any towers came.
It's just incredible.
According to the report of the vanguard troops to which the lower army belongs, guarding the lower road of Wei is the warrior-type hero Dian Wei, and the tank-type hero Xiahoudun, they are all very strong heroes, but they have been repeatedly defeated by the monarch Liu Bei......
Are they trying to do something?
Zhuge Liang pinched his eyebrows with a headache, but he had no clue at all.
As the greatest genius in the history of Jixia Academy, Zhuge Liang also had a time when he couldn't figure it out, the master once told him that talking on paper and fighting in actual combat are completely different things, maybe the master is right, he still has a lot to learn.
With a boom, the gloomy sky was pierced by a bolt of lightning, and in the dazzling light, a soldier lifted the curtain of the tent and walked in.
Zhuge Liang raised his head: "Coming?" ”
"Well, here we are." The soldier only replied faintly, and then walked up and placed a rolled-up map on the bronze case in front of him.
Zhuge Liang's fingers brushed over the map, just glanced at it, and frowned: "The Wei army plans to attack the second defense tower on the road?" Need me to send a hero to the town? ”
"One of my subordinates thinks the same thing as you." The soldier stared at Zhuge Liang neither humbly nor arrogantly, his eyes were full of indifference, it is estimated that in the entire Shu legion, no soldier dared to face Zhuge Liang, the commander-in-chief of the three armies, with such a contemptuous attitude.
"Are you being sarcastic about me?" Zhuge Liang put down the map, but showed a rare smile: "You seem to have something to say?" ”
"Another subordinate of mine thinks that the Wei army is just a feint, and its real purpose may be to be in the middle and lower roads." The soldier said.
Zhuge Liang was stunned for a moment, he glanced at the markers on the map again, and in just a moment, he understood the enemy's intentions, and seemed to be relieved at the moment: "I said, why is the battle line so smooth, it turns out that Wei is in the next big game of chess, it seems that we have a chance to destroy Wei's upper road defense tower?" ”
The soldier nodded: "That's what he himself meant. ”
Zhuge Liang sighed: "The soldiers you brought out are all the best among the people, if you didn't leave Jixia Academy back then, maybe you could become a great mentor like the master." ”
As soon as Zhuge Liang's words fell, the soldier's eyes suddenly flashed a trace of coldness, like a guest who was treated in a very rude way, and turned around and was about to leave.
"Wait, if you don't like hearing that, let's talk about something else." Zhuge Liang stopped him, "Yesterday, when Lu Bu of the Wei State attacked the second defense tower, the captain of the first team of the top soldiers on the road, Captain Shangguan, died there, and now the top soldiers are in a leaderless situation, I hope you can take on the heavy responsibility at this critical juncture." ”
The soldier turned around and said in a deep voice: "Five years ago, you and I agreed that as long as I don't die within five years, you will set me free, and during this period, I will not accept any job transfer, haven't you forgotten this agreement?" ”
Zhuge Liang looked at the soldier with a gloomy face, and after a long time, he sighed and said, "It's been so many years, and you still can't accept that fact?" ”
"I have reservations about that fact." The soldier frowned in disgust: "However, I disdain to be with you hypocrites who are sanctimonious and stealing the world. ”
With that, the soldier turned around and left.
"At least recommend me a candidate, I'm in need of a helping hand right now." Behind him, Zhuge Liang's voice came from afar.
The soldier stopped, looked up at the thunderclouds rolling in the sky outside the tent door, took a deep breath, he turned around, grabbed a brush and map in front of the copper case very unceremoniously, and wrote down a few words before handing it to Zhuge Liang: "There is one thing I need to explain, the one who saw through the plan of the Wei State is just a recruit who has just joined the army, I have not taught him anything, and I don't think I can be a bullshit academy tutor!" ”
Watching the soldiers open the curtain and leave, Zhuge Liang picked up the map that was discarded on the copper case, opened the back with his backhand, and saw a line of words written on it.
"The seventeenth squad of the top soldier unit of the Upper Road Legion - Wang Yao."
Da, da......
I don't know when there was a dense muffled sound from the top of the tent, it was the sound of raindrops hitting the tent, and it began to rain.
......
......
In the evening, the torrential rain that had been raining for several hours finally stopped, and at this time, the distant canyon sky took on a strange dark red color after the rain, as if to indicate that blood was coming.
Wang Yao, who had been in the cave for an afternoon, saw that the rain outside had finally stopped, so he was the first to rush out, greedily breathing the fresh air after the rain.
At this time, looking at the far end from the halfway point of the mountain, the canyon in the distance is covered with fog and has a psychedelic sense of beauty.
"The air in the canyon is much better than in Jingzhou." Mao Mao also walked out from behind, looked at the beautiful valley and hills, and stretched out comfortably.
Wang Yao sighed: "Yes, if it weren't for the war, this canyon could actually be regarded as a tourist attraction." ”
"The origin of the canyon is almost impossible to verify, and as a battlefield of war between countries, it has a history of hundreds of years, when it is a tourist attraction? Haha, what is your head thinking about all day long! Mao Mao sneered on the side.
"What's so funny about that? Let me tell you, in our hometown, tourist attractions are an important source of economic income......"
Just as Wang Yao was about to teach Mao Mao what the "economic system" was, there was a sudden disturbance in the distance.
"Holy? What's that? Artillery carriage? ”
Wang Yao, who followed the prestige, was startled by the scenery he saw.
I saw that behind the second defense tower, a huge army came from the end of the distance, and the dense small soldiers could not see the end at a glance, but the most conspicuous thing was the rear of the small soldiers, which were three or four meters high.
From the outside, those behemoths do look exactly like the gun trucks in the game, but-
That's a bit exaggerated, isn't it?
Mao Mao also looked over, and said with a look of surprise at the moment: "That's the main army of our Shu Kingdom, great, the military division sent the army to support us." ”
