The next morning, a small group of ragged rebels appeared at the gate of Wanghui City. These people claimed to be a defeated army from Weinancang, hoping to enter the city to take refuge and report the military situation by the way. The soldiers defending the city did not dare to slack off when they heard this, and immediately reported to Du Ziteng, the general who defended the city.

Du Ziteng climbed the city tower, only to see the ten horsemen at the gate of the city who had lost their armor and were covered in blood were sitting on the ground resting in a languishing state, and the first person was Liu Yuanzhi, the commander of the Nancang Captain Zhaowu, who was looking up at the city at the moment.

Seeing Liu Yuanzhi's embarrassed appearance, he could already conclude that Weinancang was lost, and at this moment he was more concerned about what happened to the reinforcements he sent.

"Let them in, and give me all the weapons." Du Ziteng turned his head and instructed his subordinates, "Those soldiers find a place to settle down first, and bring Liu Yuanzhi to the mansion for me." ”

"The last general is incompetent, after all, he still failed to hold the tail Nancang, and asked the Eastern Navy to rob it, please atone for your sins!" In the palace of Wanghuicheng, Liu Yuanzhi reported tremblingly.

In the eyes of others, they all thought that he was afraid of being punished by Du Ziteng, so he was so afraid. Unexpectedly, Liu Yuanzhi was not afraid of this, he was not worried that Zhang Wei's strategy would be exposed, then he would have to die here.

But at this moment, he is also out of the way, to this point, even if he betrays the East China Sea team, it will be useless, after all, through his dedication, Wanghui City has lost five hundred elite cavalry, plus the loss of Wei Nancang, he has no possibility of atonement at all, he can only follow the East China Sea team to the black.

Du Ziteng was really furious, "Didn't Ben send you five hundred elite horsemen to rescue?" Why you still can't hold it! ”

Liu Yuanzhi knelt down on one knee in fear, "My lord, when our city was broken, the reinforcements from Wanghui City had not yet arrived. The last general had to lead the surviving dozens of horsemen, pass through Shanyang, fight and retreat, and rushed here overnight. ”

"Are you taking the Shanyang Road? No wonder I didn't meet the reinforcements sent by Ben. Du Ziteng nodded, he accepted this explanation. So which army attacked the South Warehouse? Is it the state army or the newly established Eastern Navy? ”

"Lord Qiyu Du, it's the Eastern Navy. The army they attacked was about 1,000, and after the bloody battles of the soldiers of the city, the enemy army was less than 500, and if it was a field battle, it would certainly not be the opponent of reinforcements. But if they hold Cangcheng, I'm afraid it will be difficult to recapture it with 500 cavalry alone. The last general means that if the Lord can send another infantry army to rush to help, it will not be a problem to recapture the Nancang. I hope you decide. ”

At this time, Du Ziteng had already thought about it, and the loss of Weinancang was a capital crime for Liu Yuanzhi, but this person was quite capable, but he didn't know him very well, so he had been suppressed by various factions in the upper echelons of the rebels.

To tell the truth, with just 300 foot soldiers and 200 baggage soldiers with almost no combat effectiveness, if they were besieged by more than 500 enemy troops, no one would be able to defend it. The root cause of the loss of the warehouse city also lies in the fall of the tail east pass, which exposed this defenseless warehouse city to the threat of the Eastern Navy. As long as he can recapture the tail nancang, he should be able to save his life.

This time, if he recaptures Weinancang and keeps Liu Yuanzhi's surname, he can coerce this person to join his faction. And if he masters the Weinancang, which is related to the supply of various cities in the southern part of Weixian, there is no doubt that his power and voice in the rebels will be greatly strengthened, and there will be no harm in it, and it is worth investing.

Although Du Ziteng had already made up his mind to save Liu Yuanzhi's life, he still scolded him with an unkind face. "Humph! Even if Ben was able to recapture the South Warehouse, you wouldn't have escaped the sanctions of dereliction of duty! ”

In his opinion, only by forcing Liu Yuanzhi to his death, and then giving himself another favor, can he make this unenlightened guy grateful to Dade. It's just that he never thought that the former Zhaowu lieutenant in front of him was already grateful to Dade, but unfortunately the object was not him, but Li Sha of the Eastern Navy.

There was nothing to say at the moment, Du Ziteng sent an additional 400 foot soldiers to Weinancang to assist the cavalry who arrived first to attack the city, while only 600 troops were left in Wanghui City. In this way, although Wanghui City will become a little empty because of this, I believe that there will not be any accidents in such a short period of time. The number of Duzhou troops stationed in Huixian County in the south is not large, and they don't know the situation here, so they will definitely not attack Wanghui City at this time.

It stands to reason that Liu Yuanzhi should go to Weinancang with this infantry army, but seeing that he was injured in his leg and limping when he walked, Du Ziteng also let him go. Anyway, everyone knows the situation in Nancang, and there is no need for a wounded man like him to be a guide.

Liu Yuanzhi was placed under house arrest in a barracks, and he touched the knife he had received for the sake of torture, which seemed to be a minor injury on the surface, but in fact avoided tendons and arteries, and only shed some blood, which did not hurt his tendons or bones, and did not hinder his normal activities at all. I have to admire the delicate mind of that gentleman, if it weren't for his idea, he would have to go to Weinancang with the infantry at this time, and he would inevitably be exposed when he passed through that valley road, which would be really troublesome.

Now Liu Yuanzhi only needs to wait here, and the nine powerful and elusive adults of the East China Sea team will naturally take care of the rest of the matter. And at that time, Wanghui City will naturally be easily taken by the Eastern Navy with high morale under the cooperation of the inside and outside. Calculating the time, there were still a few hours left before the time to get started, and it was time for him to take a good rest.

Speaking of which, those adults really like to engage in night raids, and they are already enjoying it. However, this is indeed a simple and practical method for the low-quality rebels in Weixian County. Not to mention anything else, just because of the lack of training, the impact of night battles on the combat effectiveness of the rebels should not be underestimated, and the strength is at least about 30% lower than that during the day. If we take into account the laziness of the officers on duty at night, the poor spirit and morale of the soldiers, and so on, the night combat ability of the rebels in Weixian County is not half that of the day.

On the other hand, those adults and the Eastern Navy they trained seemed to be all born as night owls, and they fought more vigorously at night than during the day. Therefore, the tone of this battle is basically the same as that of Nancang, and the meaning of several adults is to minimize losses and strive to take Wanghui City at the lowest cost.

Thinking about it, Liu Yuanzhi actually fell asleep. Yesterday, he didn't sleep all night, his spirit was really sluggish to the extreme, and he didn't even need to deliberately pretend, he was so haggard in Du Ziteng's eyes. In fact, the fundamental reason is that in the half a month after the loss of Weidongguan, he basically did not sleep well, and at this moment the tense spirit was finally released, and he actually slept peacefully in this tiger's den dragon pool.

When Liu Yuanzhi fell asleep, the dreamer of the East China Sea team had just woken up. In the morning, Liu Yuanzhi mixed into Wanghui City, and several of them were settled in a barracks to rest. In the eyes of the rebels defending the city, these "remnants of the defeated army" who had their weapons confiscated were not a cause for concern at all, and they did not even arrange for the guards, but only asked the guards in this barracks to pay a little attention and prevent them from moving around.

The rebels did not realize that the usual weapons of the dreamers could be put into the weapon bag, and that what they had confiscated was only some standard weapons that were temporarily used to fool people. was infiltrated into Wanghui City by such a group of heavily armed dream people, and the fall of this city is basically no longer suspenseful.

In order to further paralyze the rebels, after eating and drinking enough, the people in the dream would sleep with their heads covered, and sleep until the afternoon, when the first person to wake up would wake everyone up.

Sima Fuqiang grabbed everything that could be used in the barracks and laid out a simple sand table on the table, "You see, after we enter the city, turn left, go sixty meters along the foot of the city wall, turn right, and then go forty meters and turn left, which is the barracks we are in now." When moving at night, simply go back the way you came. ”

"What should Liu Yuanzhi do?" Huang Zhike didn't want a talent who had been recruited with great difficulty to be a well-versed in the terrain and military deployment of the opposite county.

Sima Fuqiang returned his finger to the gate of the sand table city, and pointed all the way down to the south, "The establishment of this city is mainly for the defense of Hui County, Duizhou, so the main gate is in the south, and the place where we come in is the north gate, that is, the back gate." According to the information provided by Liu Yuanzhi, this small city with a radius of three miles is a purely military facility, and the internal layout is symmetrical on the central axis, and the government is located in the center of the city. ”

"There is no prison in the city, only a detention room, located next to the barracks of the personal guards two hundred meters east of the government office, and it is believed that more than 70 percent of Liu Yuanzhi may be temporarily detained in this building." At this moment, his finger came to a building not far from the palace, which was a detention cell represented by an inverted teacup.

"What about the other 30 percent?" Xiaofeng couldn't help but ask.

"Twenty percent is likely to be the city's guard Du Ziteng took Liu Yuanzhi very seriously, and arranged for him to live temporarily in the officer's dormitory on the west side of the mansion." Sima Fuqiang's hand pointed to another upside-down teacup, "The worst ten percent may be surnamed Du Ziteng who hates Liu Yuanzhi very much, so he asked him to rush to the aid of Nancang with the infantry army with his injuries, or simply beheaded Liu Yuanzhi on the spot." Either way, we're basically never going to see him again. ”

"All in all, more than ninety percent of the time there is a chance that he is still in one of these two buildings in the city, so let Xiao Qi go over and protect him." Zhang Wei knew that this person was important to the Eastern Navy at this stage, so he arranged for his apprentice to take care of it.

Sima Fuqiang nodded, "No problem, Xiao Qi, be careful yourself." If after we start to act, if the rebels plan to attack Liu Yuanzhi, you will try to protect him as much as possible. If you really can't protect yourself, you should give priority to protecting yourself. Of course, the best-case scenario is that no one even thinks to deal with him, so you can just stay 'stealth' and ambush him without being exposed. ”

Xiao Qi wanted to say something, but when he saw that the master and the captain had made such arrangements, he could only grit his teeth and admit it. Fortunately, he is also wearing a rebel uniform now, and when the war is in chaos, no one will really doubt his identity. And as long as he is willing, he can take advantage of the darkness to find a shadow place to launch a "sneak", and it is really not easy for ordinary people to find him. Speaking of which, this job is much safer than the Donghai team going to grab the city gate, and he has nothing to complain about.

Xiao Qi has no problem in this regard, but Xiaofeng can't help but scratch his head, "Captain, do you think we are now considered the Earth Emperor of the East China Sea?" ”

Sima Fuqiang raised his eyebrows, and had already guessed that this kid was making some marginal scratches again, so the surname Suo didn't answer him, but asked rhetorically, "What if it doesn't count, what if it doesn't count?" ”

"If we are the soil emperor of the East China Sea, why every time the East China Sea comes out to fight, we are the ones who charge ahead, why do we have to work so hard?" It turned out that Xiaofeng was dissatisfied with this.

For this kind of question, on the surface, it was raised by Xiaofeng's big mouth, but it doesn't mean that others don't have the same idea, Sima Fuqiang really has to answer, otherwise it will become a hidden danger in the team sooner or later. "We can easily sit in the rear, let the soldiers of the Eastern Navy, who are already small in number, charge ahead, let the Eastern Navy die in the hands of the rebels in Weixian before it grows stronger, and let the East China Sea territory, which can finally allow the people to live and work in peace and contentment, return to the chaos of bandits."

He sighed again and found a chair to sit down, "Don't forget, we are dream people, and this is the dream world. The so-called Earth Emperor is just a temporary illusion, and the dream world will not let us vacation and relax here. If we don't find something to do for ourselves, if we don't keep pressure on ourselves all the time, 'born in sorrow, die in peace,' you will understand this truth. ”

Huang Zhi also followed the captain's words and spoke, "It's better for us to take the initiative to make trouble for ourselves than to wait for the Dongzhou Imperial Court to suddenly issue us an edict to conquer such and such a pass again, and it is much better for us to find a way to deal with it at a loss, right?" Only by constantly fighting and growing can we resist what the dream world has imposed on us. No fighting, only death! Wake up, after two 'life-and-death battles', do we still have to fantasize about the kindness of the dream world to the people in our dreams? Remember what Gallic captain Sarkozy said? 'We are the playthings of this world'! ”

Zhang Wei didn't have much feeling about the words of the two, his brother and the captain were groping for the secrets of this world, he knew it, but he didn't get involved. He has little interest in investigating the secrets of this world, he likes it here, he likes the feeling of fighting, and that is the meaning of his life. Investigating the secret is such a thing, let's leave it to my brother and Sima Fuqiang to play.

Huang Ying and Li Sha didn't have much reaction to this, as long as it was a decision made by Sima Fuqiang and Huang Zhi, they would silently and unconditionally support behind their backs. If in the real world, they are just two simple women, or they will have some beautiful dreams when they are young, but in the end they will only want to pursue a warm and happy family. The dream world is not their pursuit, even if they are forced to enter this world, they still hope to be able to stay with the man they love like a normal woman. So they are not interested in any secrets, they just hope to be able to accompany the one in their minds all the way, and the longer the better.

Only Xiaofeng and Wanyue were really taken aback, although they knew that the captain and Huang Zhi were always studying something mysteriously, they never thought that there were so many doorways behind the dream world. At this moment, they were a little frightened and a little curious.

Xiaofeng opened his mouth to ask further, but Sima Fuqiang raised his hand to stop him. "It's enough for you to know so much, and some things, I don't know, will be better. We're already on the blacklist of the dream world, so it's better not to discuss these things. In short, you have to believe in me and Shixin, and we will choose the most correct path for the benefit of everyone. There may be some dangers, but it is certainly much safer than passively accepting the arrangements of the dream world. ”

"We only have to keep moving forward, keep getting stronger, and walk in front of all the dream people's teams, then unless the dream world arranges other more drastic means to deal with us, no amount of 'life and death fight' can stop us from moving forward! We want to stand at the pinnacle of all dreamers! Stand on the high ground, condescendingly, and see what the world really wants to do to us? Such an impassioned Sima Fuqiang is rare, but it also does a good job of suppressing the curiosity of Xiaofeng and the others temporarily.

At this moment, the sky was already starting to get dark, and a rebel soldier outside the door came up and called coldly, "It's time to eat." ”

As the rebels in Wanghuicheng had dinner, Huang Zhi also waited for an opportunity to use his personal charm to get as much information as possible from these soldiers to visit Huicheng, so as to make up for Liu Yuanzhi's missing parts. Due to the plan of the East China Sea team to transfer the tiger away from the mountain, Du Ziteng sent troops to Weinancang again and again, and the defenders of Wanghui City were only about 600 people at this time, and tonight's night shift was almost 100 people, which was equivalent to the original Weidongguan.

However, the role of Wanghui City is different from that of Weidongguan, there are longer walls that need to be guarded, and there are more gates that need to be guarded. More importantly, the main gate of Wanghui City is the south gate, most of the troops must be stationed there, and the north gate is relatively secondary, and it is good to have a garrison of about thirty people.

Therefore, the pressure of the East China Sea team tonight is not too big, as long as they seize the north gate of Wanghui City on time and let in the Chen Chuang Department of the East China Sea who is ambushed outside the city, Wanghui City will be in the bag.

After dinner, the Donghai team returned to the barracks, but Xiao Qi quietly broke away from the team on the way back and went to the detention room in the city to fulfill his duty to protect Liu Yuanzhi.

The rest of the people in the dream began to enter the countdown, and the time they agreed with Chen Chuang was at the beginning of the second watch, a little earlier than the previous two actions. After all, this time it is not as good as before, as long as the 600 infantry army sent by Du Ziteng goes to the middle of the valley road, they can find the Ma army that has been completely destroyed in an ambush, and they will inevitably immediately turn around and rush back to Wanghui City. It is expected that the time for their return should be in the early hours of the morning, if the Eastern Navy cannot control Wanghui City before the return of the 600 infantry army, then all the previous layout will be in vain.

Seeing that the time was still a moment away from the second watch, Sima Fuqiang stood up, "Now, act!" ”
