Night 6: Where is the Way Home (2)

Two of the three stinkers made the same resolution, which was a finalized issue for the East China Sea Team and even the East China Navy. Now what they discussed became the next route of the march.

As we all know, there are three roads from Wanghui City to Dongguan, namely Shanyang Road, Shan** and Gudao.

Shanyang Road needs to detour to the northwest and then turn to the east, which is not a small circle, which is definitely not advisable for the Eastern Navy, where time is life.

The mountain ** is south of Wanghui City, and since the Dingbei Army of Duzhou Prefecture has extended its hand into this area, I am afraid that this road has fallen into the hands of the other party. Instead of going to Shanyin Pass to knock, it is better to detour to Shanyang faster, so Shan** is also not a good choice.

In this way, what should have been the most dangerous valley road has become the best choice. At this moment, the cavalry of the Dingbei Army even had to arrive at Wanghuicheng, and it was impossible to make a detour to set up Fugu Road in advance, and they didn't even know that the Eastern Navy had arrived nearby, otherwise they wouldn't dare to use two battalions of poorly defended cavalry to rush to Wanghuicheng.

After making up his mind, Sima Fuqiang simply let the Eastern Navy rest in place, wait until nightfall, and then quickly pass through the range of Wanghui City, without entanglement with the cavalry of the Dingbei Army, and directly enter the valley road to rush back to Weidongguan.

Stationed in place, making a fire and cooking, and taking a nap for a few hours, the Eastern Navy, which had recovered most of its physical strength and energy, hit the road again.

In fact, everyone is not completely without worries about taking the valley road.

According to Du Ziteng, Zhang Tong of the Dingbei Army and his subordinate generals and colonels were a very aggressive group of people, and if they knew that the Eastern Navy had returned to the East China Sea from Gudao, how could they also send troops to attack and disturb them, and it would never be possible for the Eastern Navy to pass under their noses unscathed.

However, Huang Zhi has a countermeasure to avoid this problem. If the dream of war and the dream of power for so long have cultivated Sima Fuqiang and Zhang Wei into masters of strategy and tactics respectively, then Huang Zhi must be a master of psychology.

According to Huang Zhi's method, all the members of the Eastern Navy held torches high and marched towards Wanghui City openly, pulling out a long ribbon of light in the night.

Although he had been defeated by the Mengren more than once before, and he admired their command skills to the ground, this time Du Ziteng still led his cavalry battalion to the back of the team with suspicion. Not to mention that this way of doing things with open fire is tantamount to provoking the Dingbei Army, and just putting 1,500 people in a long snake formation is enough to bring a disaster to the Eastern Navy.

Du Ziteng believed that even if he brought an army inferior to the Dingbei Army to attack the Eastern Navy at this time, it would be enough to make this team instantly become scattered and lose the ability to resist. If he hadn't believed in the ability of Huang Zhi and the others, if he had rebelled in Weixian County, he would definitely have to disobey his orders now.

While he was thinking wildly, the Eastern Navy had already approached Wanghui City, and he could already see the light of the fire on the six-meter wall a few miles away. Since the Eastern Navy could see Wanghui City, the Dingbei Army occupying this city at this time could naturally also see this sudden opponent.

It was only a few hours before Wanghui City was obtained, and the vanguard of the Dingbei Army had just completed the investigation and deployment of the city, leaving some of the soldiers on duty at night in shifts, and the rest could finally sleep. Before they could sleep soundly, they were woken up by the alarm of the enemy attack, and they had to drag their tired bodies up the south wall to prepare for battle.

In their opinion, this blatant night attack by the Eastern Navy is simply ridiculous, and it seems that the township regiments in small places just don't know how to fight, so they can make such a big oolong.

At this moment, the slightly funny band of light in front of them suddenly turned north a few hundred meters away from the city wall and turned to the path west of the city. Although Wanghui City did not open the west gate, no one knows whether this army, which seems to be quite large in the number of torches, brought a ladder to enter the city for battle.

The officers and men of the Dingbei Army at the head of the city had to quickly follow the movements of the invading enemy army and mobilize most of the city's defense forces to the west to reinforce. When they finally completed the deployment here, the light belt had already left the west and turned towards the north gate, so the Dingbei army had to follow again.

It took the Eastern Navy to circle the city for most of the time, and the Dingbei army on the city wall also followed around for so long. When the Eastern Navy passed by the north gate of Wanghui City without hesitation, and directly threw itself into the darkness and headed to the northeast, the generals who led the Dingbei Army still didn't understand what was going on.

After a long time, it wasn't until this fire dragon disappeared from the field of vision of Wanghui City that the general of the Dingbei Army came back to his senses, "What kind of siege is it, it's obviously a way." Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little itchy, wondering whether to send troops to pursue and get some interest back.

But looking at the endless darkness outside, he calmed down again. Zhang Tong, the general of Dingyuan, has long coveted Huicheng, and naturally understands the three passages around it as if it were his own corridor. Therefore, this general also knew that the direction in which the Eastern Navy was going was the most dangerous valley road of the three passages, which cooled his fiery heart.

He looked to the northeast, and at this time there was no trace of the Eastern Navy. Although it can be judged from the speed of the opponent's march that most of them are infantry, and if the cavalry of the other side wants to pursue with all their might, it is still not too late to send troops at this time, but who knows whether the opponent intends to pursue it himself, set up an ambush in the valley section to eat his own army, and then turn back to attack Wanghui City, which is weak.

After weighing it repeatedly, he finally decided to give up this opportunity to attack, after all, the task given to him by Zhang Tong was to take Wanghui City. If you abandon the basics, even if you make a little profit, General Dingyuan will not praise himself, but will reprimand him.

Huang Zhi's psychological warfare achieved the desired effect, making it impossible for the other party to go out of the city to harass the Eastern Navy. By the time the Eastern Navy came out of the north entrance of the valley road, the sky was already bright, although everyone was already very tired, but considering the precarious situation on the side of the East Prison Pass, how could the dreamer feel at ease, so he simply continued to move forward to the end of the south warehouse before camping and resting.

At this time, the Eastern Navy only had one last day's journey from Weidongguan, which was two full days faster than normal. However, the price they paid was not small, and after traveling nearly 200 miles in two days and one night, everyone was so tired that they didn't even bother to make hot food, so they ate some dry food and slept in their clothes.

In the dark night, there was a faint sound of horses' hooves coming from the east, which made several sentries of the Eastern Navy, who were already drowsy, sober up a little, on the one hand, they took the initiative to send people out to investigate, and on the other hand, they were ready to deal with emergencies at any time.

After a while, the scouts returned and brought a scout who was also dressed in the uniform of the Eastern Navy, and it was said that it was a scout from a battalion under Wu Qiang, who was ordered to go to Storm County to seek reinforcements from the Eastern Navy. Fortunately, he was lucky, and he met the target of this trip in Weinancang just one day after he came out.

The captain on duty at night knew that the stakes were very high, and hurriedly went to wake up Sima Fuqiang and the others who had fallen asleep.

Knowing that Wu Qiang sent scouts for help, Captain Donghai's heart sank to the bottom all of a sudden, and the last thing he wanted to happen finally came......
