Volume XIV, Chapter 21

This Wang Yongbin and Wang Zhiheng are orphans picked up by Xie Zhenguo on the side of the road, in this war-torn year, displaced people abound, in fact, as a general, Xie Zhenguo has no time to take care of it at all, but when it comes to the fate of Xie Zhenguo and the Wang brothers, it is purely a fate coincidence.

Eighteen years ago, the king of Anyun decided to start with Miyun and regain the entire Miyun country into the territory in order to restore the hegemony of his ancestors. Although this Miyun country was originally the territory of Anyun country, but Miyun country has been independent king for more than 400 years, and now Anyun country wants to take back, it is not easy, the two sides have not made any breakthrough in diplomacy, the war quickly ignited, Anyun country is like a bamboo, the army broke through the border, within three days, it captured the three cities of Miyun country, Gunzhou, Yanzhou and Luzhou, and threatened to sweep away Miyun country within three months.

At that time, Wu Zhujun had just become the king, An Yunguo chose this time to attack, it was undoubtedly the wisest, the new king succeeded to the throne, there was no prestige, it was difficult to convince the public, but the king Wu Zhujun at that time was young and vigorous, and wanted to establish authority, and foreign enemies invaded their territory, the people suffered, displaced, as the king, how could he be slaughtered, so he decided to drive the expedition in person, after handing over the national government to the four old ministers, he led a large army to conquer the enemy.

Xie Zhenguo was not a great general at that time, he had just turned twenty-six years old, although the ancestors of the Xie family had held some important positions, but they did not have any great achievements, and the family did not have much savings. Passed down to Xie Zhenguo's generation, he can no longer enjoy the shadow of his ancestors. As soon as you can't rely on your own efforts, you can only work hard in this troubled world. If you want to get ahead, then you can only join the army, Xie Zhenguo of course understands the truth, when he was eighteen years old, he had already joined the army, and now he has become an officer to the position of light cavalry captain, and the time when the king drove the expedition was just in time for Xie Zhenguo's wedding day. After hastily holding the ceremony, he left his newlywed wife behind and immediately rushed to the front.

Although Xie Zhenguo's family has declined, and he himself is unknown, he is gifted and intelligent, full of wealth, and knows the key to marching. And the ancestral Moyun marksmanship and cloud blasting fighting spirit are also quite hot, although he has already shown his head a little, but he has no chance to come out. Before the time comes, you can't show your ambitions, and Xie Zhenguo is worried about this. There is no place for heroes, this situation. It's unbearable for anyone. However, this time the king drove the expedition himself. Xie Zhenguo felt that his opportunity was finally coming. Xie Zhenguo was just a small light cavalry lieutenant at that time, although a lieutenant could bring a thousand people, but he could only bring three hundred people with a small light cavalry lieutenant, and he was restrained by the captain, however, this is for a young man, especially for an unknown person, relying on his own hard work, to be promoted to the position of lieutenant of light cavalry, among his peers, it is already a precious thing, of course, this is in addition to some prominent families who can enjoy the blessings of their ancestors.

The king of Miyun Kingdom personally went out to fight, which raised the morale of the troops on a certain course, and for a while, Miyun Kingdom carried out an all-out counterattack, but the battle situation was very unexpected, although Miyun Kingdom went all out to counterattack, in the end it was still a loss of soldiers, not only did not recover the lost territory, but lost the lives of many soldiers, and the war came to a stalemate.

The new king is young and vigorous, of course, it is impossible to allow this to happen, he decided to organize troops to attack again, be sure to drive all the enemies out of the Miyun country, the king has given the order to fight to the death, the generals of the Miyun country also tried their best to attack, the battle went on extremely fiercely, although later in the desperate attack of the generals of the Miyun country, the city of Luzhou occupied by the Anyun country was recovered at the cost of sacrificing a huge amount of manpower, the king was reminded by the generals, and also realized this problem, if this battle continues like this, it will not be long before the entire Miyun country will be occupied by the Anyun country, and he will also become the king of the dead country, because, Tens of thousands of soldiers sacrificed, the ratio of death was one to ten, where is this war, it is simply self-slaughter, An Yunguo seems to be safe and sound to the next city, but his own side is greatly damaged, and the morale has also been severely bruised, for a while, the ambition of the king to drive the expedition disappeared in the cruel battle.

The war not only stopped there, An Yunguo knew that the king of Miyun Kingdom was personally recruited, so he immediately transmitted the news to An Yunguo, under the will of the king of An Yunguo, An Yunguo sent tens of thousands of troops, their intentions could not be more obvious, as long as the king of Miyun Kingdom could be captured alive, this battle would be won without a fight, and the crisis was approaching step by step, but Wu Zhujun did not realize this at all, although he suffered heavy casualties, but he still wanted to continue to regain lost ground with a boost of morale tomorrow.

Although Xie Zhenguo was a light cavalry captain, he did not participate in the battle, because his brigade was responsible for logistics and supply, and it was not their turn to go into battle to kill the enemy, but despite this, Xie Zhenguo was always keeping an eye on the movement of the war.

The next day, although Wu Zhujun was a little wary of the soldiers, as the new king of Miyun Kingdom, if this battle stopped, then he, the king, would not need to go down again. So he ordered to continue the attack on Yanzhou City, under the personal leadership of the king, the morale was not weak, the defenders of An Yunguo did not seem to have the power to parry, after stubbornly resisting, they retreated to the next city, Gongzhou City, Wu Zhujun did not expect that today's battle was more smooth than yesterday's, although there were some casualties, but he had enough confidence to recover all the lost territory tomorrow.

An Yunguo's frequent retreat made Xie Zhenguo worried, this is not a good omen, An Yunguo captured three cities with such a rapid attack speed, why are their defense capabilities so weak, under the attack of Miyun Kingdom, it is impossible to give the city so quickly with both hands, if the city can really be so smoothly in hand, then there is only one reason, An Yunguo is brewing a huge conspiracy.

However, Xie Zhenguo was indifferent at that time, but he was loyal and patriotic. I know what I can't do, but I have to do my best. Even if it is to do everything to obey the destiny of heaven. At that time, he was ordered by the captain. Transporting the loading equipment with another light cavalry captain, before leaving, Xie Zhenguo directly passed his boss and gave a letter to King Wu Zhujun, stating the stakes, saying that An Yunguo was a wolf with ambitions, and asked His Majesty the King not to take the enemy lightly. However, the king had more than hundreds of things to deal with every day, with his small light cavalry lieutenant. His recital did not reach Wu Zhujun's hands at all, but was suppressed.

It's a pity that no one paid attention to Xie Zhenguo's hard work, just after Xie Zhenguo left, An Yunguo suddenly attacked, Wu Zhujun hurriedly faced the battle, I didn't want to, the momentum had been suppressed by An Yunguo, and what was even more strict was that An Yunguo actually copied Wu Zhujun's back road. It can also be said that An Yunguo has been planning for a long time, ambushing the troops behind Miyun Guo, and setting up an enchantment. So that the people in Yanzhou City can't flee for help at all. All in all, Wu Zhujun is now surrounded by people in a lonely city, in a dilemma. Not only that, An Yunguo frequently launched attacks. Let Wu Zhujun be tired and exhausted. Moreover, there is not much food, because the king is eager to make meritorious contributions, he has advanced too much, he has not waited for the reinforcements to keep up, and the logistics supply cannot keep up, the enemy's attack is very fierce, and if it goes on like this, it will not take a day of effort, and the entire army will be self-defeating and eaten by An Yunguo's troops.

Xie Zhenguo didn't set off for long at this time, along the way, he always felt that something was wrong, and he was flustered, so simply, after walking to the outskirts of Luzhou City, he asked the troops to stop and sent people back to Yanzhou City to see what was going on.

The news soon came back, the entire army had been completely besieged in Yanzhou City by An Yunguo's troops, and it was against the enemy, especially the enemy behind it, and he didn't know where it came from, there was probably the strength of an army, but it was true, there was indeed a force that blocked the back road of Yanzhou City.

An Yunguo really has a conspiracy, and there is an ambush army, an army of 40,000 people, to block the retreat of Yanzhou City, and on the other side, An Yunguo is stepping up the onslaught with a huge offensive, so that the king can not take care of the whole thing, it seems that An Yunguo's purpose is already obvious, they want to capture the current king alive.

The matter was urgent, Xie Zhenguo discussed the matter with another foreign light cavalry captain, he didn't want this captain to be submissive, especially when he heard that An Yunguo had an army's strength, his face turned white with fright, he was just a small light cavalry captain, only three hundred subordinates, such a disparity in power was not imaginable at all, it was simply an egg hitting a stone, there was no chance of winning, after listening to Xie Zhenguo's words, he shook his head frequently, thinking that Xie Zhenguo's words were simply a fool's dream.

Xie Zhenguo persuaded hard for a long time, it was useless, and in the end, in desperation, Xie Zhenguo had to propose a compromise method, let him hand over the troops to himself, so that he reluctantly agreed, and gave a hundred people to Xie Zhenguo, and he himself took the rest of the people and rushed back to ask for reinforcements, but the reinforcements were still hundreds of miles away, so I am afraid it will be too late.

400 people went to attack 40,000 people, and when the soldiers heard Xie Zhenguo's order, they were all dumbfounded, and hurriedly shook their heads to express that they were not willing to die in vain.

Now His Majesty the King is trapped in Yanzhou City, suffering from the enemy before and after, and is anxious for us to rescue, our task is very simple, as long as we disrupt the enemy's camp, and then break the enemy's barrier, so that His Majesty can withdraw from Yanzhou City in time. There are not many soldiers, but in the fine, as long as we work together, we will be able to complete this task, besides, the purpose of everyone to be a soldier, not to ask for an official and a half-position, now is the best opportunity, there is no free lunch in the world, if you want to be on top, you must fight desperately, otherwise, you can only be like now, as a small soldier, look at people's faces, listen to people's reprimands, and always come out, brothers, if you want to do something, follow me to thank someone, otherwise, you can take care of yourself. ”

"Life and death are fate, wealth is in the sky!Okay, I'm willing to follow the captain!" Li Yu is the child of a subordinate in Xie Mansion, and he and Xie Zhenguo have grown up together since childhood, he naturally knows that now is the time when Xie Zhenguo needs help the most, besides, if no one responds to his call, then what Xie Zhenguo just said will have no effect.

Sure enough, everyone is a bloody man, Xie Zhenguo's words made everyone excited, especially the response of Li Yu and others, everyone's courage was also stimulated, on the battlefield, if you are afraid of bloodshed, then what kind of battle will you fight, but this time the enemy is really huge, so everyone hesitated, now listen to Xie Zhenguo said so beautifully, so incitative, they are all children of poor families, there is no back, if you want to improve normally, I don't know how many years to wait, fame depends on God, now I see that I have the opportunity to fight, even if I know that the road ahead is full of dangers, I want to try。

Four hundred people followed Xie Zhenguo all the way to sneak, slowly approaching Yanzhou City, seeing that it was still early, Xie Zhenguo ordered everyone to lurk, ready to wait for late at night, and then carry out a surprise attack, everyone knows that the disparity in strength, if it is directly impacted, it is certain death, if you wait until late at night to act, at least the chance of victory is a few percent.

Xie Zhenguo divided the 400 people into four groups, and after late at night, sneaked into the enemy's camp tent, each performing its own duties, the first group was responsible for setting fire to the enemy's camp tent, the second group was responsible for touching the guards, and responded to the first group, the third group was responsible for finding the place to set the barrier, the first group and the second group set fire, taking advantage of the chaos to destroy the barrier, the fourth group was led by Xie Zhenguo himself, and went straight to the enemy's general tent, if there was a chance, the enemy's general would be killed, if it did not go smoothly, it would cover the retreat of the remaining three groups, this is an extremely dangerous task, a little careless, it will lead the whole army to be annihilated。

Heaven seems to take good care of Xie Zhenguo, at midnight, seeing that the enemy army has been asleep, he immediately took action, the other three groups of tasks are carried out along the way, and finally the other three groups are burning the camp everywhere at the same time, and Xie Zhenguo's group also touched into the enemy's big tent, Xie Zhenguo didn't know if the person lying on the bed in front of him was the general of the enemy army, and he didn't care about the three-seven-twenty-one, so he personally led people to pounce on it, and even brought the quilt together to tie up the people on the bed like tying zongzi. Xie Zhenguo's luck is good, he is indeed a general in bed, and he is the commander of the enemy army, and more importantly, the opponent is a prince, Prince Thunder of An Yunguo. However, at that time, Xie Zhenguo didn't know that he was the commander of the army, and he was also a prince, so he didn't have time to ask in detail, so he asked someone to carry him out of the big tent.
