When Wang Ziyu arrived at Lazikou, this place had already been their world. The original 2,000 defenders were also there, mingling with Zhang Wenying's soldiers and horses. The soldiers and horses who transported grain and grass in the early stage also arrived, mainly the spearmen led by Ma Fei.

They followed Ma Fei's instructions and returned to the Anxi garrison tomorrow. At present, the total strength of Lazikou consists of 1,000 infantry, 2,000 cavalry and 3,000 archers, with a total strength of 6,000 people.

Later, the Walnut Society led 6,000 iron cavalry to reinforce here, plus the archers that Tuozhong was about to arrive, the total strength could reach 14,000 people. For this pass, it is enough. The main problem is the number of arrows.

Wang Ziyu summoned Zhang Wenying and the original guard captain Ji Lun to study the terrain and make arrangements. Because the total number of cavalry is small, it is not used as the main standing force.

On the guard, the main infantry and archers defended the city. However, as a condescending pass, it is necessary to prepare for the defense of the city, and defensive tools such as rolling wood and stone must be prepared in large quantities.

No matter how the defense was deployed, Wang Ziyu gave a clear order: no one was allowed to attack, and only defended on the city wall. Violators will be beheaded.

This was the first death order given by Wang Ziyu, and Zhang Wenying, Ji Lun and others did not dare to slack off, and quickly conveyed it.

Then, Wang Ziyu let the others rest here, familiarized himself with the map, and then left Zhang Wenying's military tent. Go back to your tent.

He called Yang Jiye and the others over, let them have a good rest, and when Hu Taomu came, let him obey Zhang Wenying's command. He then left the tent without telling them where he was going.

After leaving the camp, Wang Ziyu performed the Tiangang Sixty-four Easy Footwork and galloped away on the forest road. He walked quickly in the direction of Fengji as he observed the situation along the way.

Although it is nighttime, you can see the forest road by the light of the half-moon. After passing several mountains in a row, you enter a wide area between the mountains, all of which are grassland greenery. Stepping on it, it's sincere.

This means that this is not a wetland meadow or something like that, but a landscape close to a plateau grassland. This kind of grassland, usually a layer of surface soil, is relatively barren and thin, not suitable for the growth of trees, and only suitable for the survival of this kind of grass and shrubs.

Continue to zigzag along the road all the way to the west, in the second half of the third watch, that is, at about half past twelve o'clock in the current time, Wang Ziyu saw a city in front of him, the city is not big, but outside the city, there are all camp tents, and the sporadic firelight reveals the state there.

Seeing that the points of light were outside the city, Wang Ziyu knew very well that it was the camp. According to an ordinary city, there is no need for such a large number of garrisons at all. That can only explain one fact: Fucheng is indeed a military build-up again.

Wang Ziyu approached the camp, and on a tall tree, he roughly counted the camp tent covered by firelight, and calculated according to the tree that his camp could accommodate soldiers, about 20,000 troops.

Fucheng had previously dispatched 50,000 troops to Jingfang, but as a result, Wang Ziyu raided Fucheng, destroying a total of nearly 20,000 troops in the three cities, and slaughtering tens of thousands of men, directly forcing the king of Fucheng to withdraw his troops and return to defense.

Now 20,000 troops are gathered here, which meets the requirements of Fucheng city defense. That is, the 50,000 troops will allocate more than 20,000 to defend the three cities and strengthen the defense of the capital. And the 20,000-strong army should belong to the extreme level in the balanced war.

What if we could wipe out 20,000 troops?

But now, it is clear, he has no plans for a direct attack. The first task is to find out the reality of the enemy. The Art of War: Know your opponent and know your friends, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles!

He first bypassed the well-guarded military camp and entered Fengji City. The location of this city wall, because of the large number of garrisons outside, has been very loose, and Wang Ziyu can easily enter the city.

He swayed through the darkness of the city, and soon locked on to a large mansion. From his understanding of the usual structure of a city in the era of the Daluo Empire, this kind of compound was often either the city lord's mansion or the residence of the guard. The deliberations are basically there, too.

When he got closer, sure enough, there were lights flickering inside the city walls, although dim, but in the dark night, it was very effective. What was even more conspicuous was that he saw that there was a light on in the main room, and the figure could be seen shaking from the window.

That's great. Since there is a figure shaking, so late at night, there must be a discussion. It's not something important, and it won't be studied overnight.

Wang Ziyu entered the compound lightly in a masked manner, and a few tossed around, easily bypassing the patrolling warriors, and came to the roof of the main house. To his surprise, there were two people on the roof, staring at him blankly.

Obviously, the two didn't expect that in the dark, a figure would come up. Of course, this was before they reacted to the shock. Otherwise, the cry will rise.

Wang Ziyu's reaction was quite fast, and he directly clicked on the dumb points of the two, and in another round, all the numb holes were hit. Then gently put the two down. The two of them just looked at the stars in the night sky in shock, and the 100,000 grass and mud horses floated through the sky, and they couldn't unlock their acupuncture points.

Wang Ziyu leaned on the roof and listened carefully.

"Captain Houdu, are you sure you weren't being followed when you came?" An elder's voice.

"Absolutely not. If anything, I wouldn't have been able to pass the barrier at all. As long as they are well armed, any road that might be crossed on foot can be blocked. I couldn't get here so soon. ”

Wang Ziyu could hear the voice of Hou Duwei. The voice of this guy who pleaded for Guo Shuming at the beginning is still in his ears.

This guy is fast. Wang Ziyu thought to himself. If the work is reliable, it can be promoted as appropriate in the future. He can risk life and death and plead for Guo Shuming, he is a good person. Will not be ungrateful.

"Then you rush back overnight, don't let anyone notice. If there is any situation over there, report it here in time. Adjutant General Yue, neither you nor your delegation can go back. Stay here first, and the wine and beauty are all with you. When you lay down over there in the future, how about you come to be the city lord of Zhang Ye and even Anxi? ”

The elder's voice was soft, but it was irreversibly penetrating. Wang Ziyu could feel that this person's martial arts were not ordinary. Listening to this tone, it should be the main commander of this operation.

That's what I mean. If you go back, you'll definitely have to be beheaded. General Huerda, if you have any orders, please speak up. "Listening to this, it should be the voice of Deputy General Yue.

Deputy General Yue is a deputy general of Zhang Yecheng. According to Guo Shuming, he was the leader of the troop mission. The biggest virtue of this person is heartiness, and the biggest weakness is lust.

As long as it is given to a beautiful woman, there is no heartfelt heart that he can keep. Fortunately, under Guo Deyu, he has never lacked beauties.

When Wang Ziyu heard this guy's tone, it was really as Guo Shuming said.

"Wu Tiliao Military Division, do you have any opinions?" It was still the voice of the elder, that is, the general Huerda in the mouth of Adjutant General Yue.

"General, this time our army has been assembled, if we don't fight a single battle and go back to the division directly, if the king is to blame, what can we do? If it spreads out, people will have a piece of news, and we will withdraw from the army, won't it make people laugh? The voice was slightly shriveled.
