Chapter XXXIII
Wangshan County, back mountain city.
A piece of paper appeared in Feishi's room.
Fei Shi led his Xuanzi battalion to conquer Beishan City, and the whole army was resting in the city at this time.
When the Xuanzi battalion attacked Broken Mountain City and Beishan City, there was some damage, and it was necessary to replenish the source of troops at this time.
Fei Shi read the order carefully, frowned, and was silent.
The order required the Xuanzi battalion to rush to the position of Wangshan City within three days, join the main siege force of the Dragon Wing Army, and immediately start planning for the siege. In the follow-up operation, the command will directly give orders.
There were many irregularities in the order, Fei Shi didn't dare to ignore them, and immediately found his deputy Bai Wen and the three magicians accompanying him to discuss together. Bai Wen read the order, but he didn't think it was inappropriate, and the other three magicians knew that something was wrong with it.
"The main force of our Xuanzi battalion is light cavalry, and it is not our forte to attack the city, why are we so eager to transfer our battalion to plan the siege? Besides, there is no need for our small battalion headquarters to be directly commanded by the commander!" After all, most magicians are smart people, and they just pointed out the key points after simply reading the order. 、
"This is precisely what I am worried about, so I invite you to come and discuss with me, and I hope that the three of you will give you advice. Fei Shi has great respect for the three magicians, and has always treated them as guests, and he does not dare to disturb them easily.
The position of a magician is noble, and a battalion commander like Fei Shi is not qualified to dispatch, but Mo Zhide personally ordered it, so he went out with the army. For Fei Shi's salute, the three of them accepted it calmly.
The five of them thought about it and speculated several times, but they didn't come up with a single reason.
Bai Wen was most tired of this, and said, "Don't think so far ahead, discuss so much." Don't discuss whether we can conquer that city, how we can conquer it!
"Then you have to obey it! Otherwise, you will be disobeying the order, and it will be regarded as a rebellion." ”
"That's unbelievable! Since we have to comply with the order, why don't we go to Wangshan City first, find out the situation, and discuss the destruction of the city. Bai Wen spread his hands.
"What you say makes sense!" Fei Shi praised, "We ourselves don't know the situation here, and no matter how much we speculate and discuss, it is superfluous! Target: Wangshan Castle. I have to work out the three mages again, and I have been in the dust all the way, and Fei is really sorry not to go!"
To the magician, Fei Shi is really respectful, and he does not forget to be polite about such a trivial matter.
"It doesn't matter. The three magicians nodded, returned to their lodgings, cleaned up, and set off with the army.
The light cavalry of the Xuanzi battalion basically used wildebeest as mounts. This beast has a speed that is not inferior to that of low-level magical beasts, and its stamina is very long, making it suitable for long-distance attacks. Moreover, it is trained into a war horse, combined into a battle array, with a scale of hundreds or thousands, and the power of launching a group charge is also considerable.
Bai Wen heard that in the distant era, the war horses used by the light cavalry army were some demonic beasts such as tigers, wolves, lions and leopards, attacking cities and conquering cities, and they were unstoppable. Among them, the most elite knights, all of whom are unicorns, and even the gods will retreat when they encounter such a legion. It's just that those days are long gone.
Bai Wen and Fei Shi led the large army, galloping all the way, and within two days, they arrived at the position of Wangshan City and completed the convergence with the main force of the Dragon Wing Legion.
According to the usual practice, the two subordinates need to go to the Chinese army and report to the head of the department.
After the debriefing, Zhang Jing, the head of the Dragon Wing Legion, personally hosted a banquet to receive the two.
"I have specially found two of you today, first, to celebrate your achievements! You have conquered the battles of Dingcheng, Broken Mountain, and Beishan, and fought beautifully, and after the military commander learned about it, he praised you verbally. At the wine table, General Fei Zhang Jing raised his glass and said, "Second, the situation in the battle of Wangshan County this time was not as smooth as expected. Especially the main city of Wangshan City, the battle situation is stalemate, I hope that your arrival can turn the tide, quickly defeat the defenders, and capture Wangshan City!"
This flattery, Zhang Jing talked eloquently, speaking very politely, although it was only superficial communication, but there were many hidden traps in his words, if he accidentally followed his words, he might fall into the trap of implicit murder.
"It's so polite, but it doesn't seem to be holding back any good fart. Although he couldn't analyze it, Bai Wen faintly felt that Zhang Jing's words were reserved, and he was slandered in his heart.
"Why don't you have something to say? Bai Wen and I are both your subordinates, so what instructions and orders do you have, give them directly. The subordinates must be going to the soup and fire, and they will not give up!" Fei Shi put down his hand and gave up.
This is said impassionedly, and the appearance of loyalty is actually in vain. Because the commander's order has long been clear, when he arrives at the Xuanzi battalion in Wangshan City, he will directly have the commander give orders. The Dragon Wing Legion no longer has the right to directly take charge of the Xuanzi Battalion, and Zhang Jing's order, Bai Wen can naturally listen to it or not.
"Why do you take me with you for everything?" Bai Wen whispered, "Could it be that he told you to go to the mountain city and you really go?" This man is an old fox, so you should pay attention to him. It's high-sounding, but it's actually a bad heart!"
Zhang Jing's first impression of Bai Wen was very bad, thinking that he was a guy who held the banner of morality and specialized in harming others and benefiting himself.
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say!" Zhang Jing instantly smiled, "You are still my leader, so naturally I can't treat you badly." Now there's a great thing for you to do!"
"What's the matter?"
"Of course, it's to conquer Wangshan City!"
"Sure enough······" Bai Wen swallowed back the words 'didn't hold back his fart', "It's really a great credit!"
After speaking, Bai Wen's face was more ugly than eating a fart.
"Such a great achievement, our small Xuanzi battalion has no ability to resist. General, let's find someone else, Bai Wenai and I can't help!" Fei Shi immediately kicked this matter away with a bitter face. "With the blessing of God, it took a lot of effort for us to conquer those three cities, and it was very reluctant. Not to mention the loss of troops, there are still many teams that are short of soldiers. Besides, the Xuanzi battalion is all light cavalry, so where is it suitable to attack Wangshan City, which has strong walls, and don't you let your brothers die in vain?
Fei Shi found various reasons to shirk.
"Bai Wen, haven't you been suffering from stomach pain all this time?" Fei Shi asked.
"Yes, I don't know what's going on, my stomach has been hurting from time to time recently, and the pain is very uncomfortable, and I can't fight at all!" Bai Wen immediately understood Fei Shi's words, covered his stomach with his hand, and pretended to feel a faint pain.
Zhang Jing just watched the performance of the two lightly, did not interrupt, did not interject, and watched quietly like this. When Bai Wen's performance was getting better, Zhang Jing suddenly took out a warrant and slapped it on the table: "This is a handsome order, ordering the Xuanzi battalion commanded by Fei Shi and Bai Wen to conquer Wangshan City within the specified time limit." All friendly units may only be used as logistical support troops, and may not assist in the siege without authorization. If the city fails to be conquered by the time limit, the two of you will be dismissed from your posts and investigated immediately, and punished for disobeying military orders!"
The handsome order has been issued, and the two of them have no reason to shirk it, Bai Wen took the handsome order tremblingly, with a miserable face.
"Fortunately, the time limit for the siege is relatively abundant," Zhang Jing's words were like a fire in the dark night, igniting the hope of the two.
"How much time is there?" Bai Wen asked.
"It's three days! Zhang Jing's words turned around, and pushed the two of them to the edge of the cliff. The hope that was ignited was instantly poured with a basin of cold water.
"It's impossible to complete this, it's better to kill me now!" Bai Wen shouted to the sky.
"That's good. Zhang Jing didn't know where to take out a big sword, and he wanted to cut Bai Wen, but his movements were extremely neat, without the slightest ambiguity.
Bai Wen's face changed suddenly, and his words changed sharply, and he said, "I suddenly feel that this matter can still be done!"
I'm afraid that if I am a little slower, the sword in Zhang Jing's hand will be cut off.
"Well, in fact, if you can find the negligence of the defender, you can conquer Wangshan City overnight, why take three days!" Fei Shi said lightly, looking confident.
"General Zhang, quickly put away your sword! Although this matter is very difficult in your eyes, we are born to deal with challenges!" Bai Wen's eyes were firmly fixed on the big sword, for fear that if one was not careful, the sword would be cut down.
Zhang Jing didn't like Bai Wen's words, glared at him angrily, and finally put away the big sword. Only then did Bai Wen breathe a sigh of relief, and the stone in his heart fell to the ground.
After this incident, Bai Wen has been able to blurt out the fake and empty pretense words, and his color has not changed at all after the incident. Bai Wenwen is white, compared to those advanced means that can easily cost his own life, and he is not too pediatric to say some foolish words in words.
"Well, I wish you all success!" Zhang Jing raised his glass to toast. The two of them hurriedly returned the salute, although they were quite disdainful in their hearts, but the superficial politeness still had to be enough.
At the end of the feast, the two returned to the tent.
"You said that as long as you find the weakness of Wangshan City's defense, you can overcome it, is it true?" Bai Wen asked Fei Shi eagerly.
"Theoretically, yes. However, we have just arrived, and we have no understanding of the local defense, and we are really uncertain whether we can find the weak points of the city defense in these two days. Also, even if you find a weak point, you may not be able to overcome it with the strength of the Xuanzi Battalion alone!" Fei Shi was also quite worried.
"Then you are talking about it at the wine table, and you are talking in a good way?" Bai Wen looked surprised. I still trust you so much!
"Do you think I can pass off the siege mission?" Fei Shi asked rhetorically.
Bai Wen tilted his head, thought for a moment, and shook his head. This task was issued directly by the commander, and no matter what, it must be accepted, and it is impossible to refuse.
"Strength and weakness are relative, maybe the weakness of Wangshan City is fatal enough for the Dragon Wing Army, but for the Xuanzi Battalion, it is not necessarily. ”
"Then according to you, we won't be able to conquer it. Bai Wendao, "You can't attack it, but it's a capital crime!"
"In fact, even if we capture Wangshan City, our situation may not be safe. Fei Shi said meaningfully.
"If the mission can't be completed, it's understandable that you will be beheaded. It's not necessarily safe to complete the task like this, why is that?" Bai Wen looked puzzled.
"Think about it here," Fei Shi nodded Bai Wen's forehead, "You must know that Wangshan City is something that your immediate boss has not conquered." As soon as you come, you will take it in three days, and you will invest fewer troops, what will Mo Zhide think of Zhang Jing?"
"Well, you'll think he's an incompetent!" Bai Wen thought for a moment and replied, "But does that have anything to do with us?"
Fei Shi had an expression of being defeated by you, "Your capture of Wangshan City is equivalent to slapping Zhang Jing in the face." With his strength, can he not retaliate? Only by killing you will his position be consolidated, understand?"
"It's to kill the two of us!" Bai Wen corrected Fei Shi's words.
Fei Shi nodded helplessly.
"What should I do? Winning or losing is fatal. Why don't we pack up our baggage now and run away quickly!" Bai Wen thought about it for a long time, and finally came up with such a countermeasure.
"Please!" Fei Shi looked indifferent.
This gesture obviously means that he will not run away with Bai Wen.
"I'm not a person who gives up lightly! Fighting with Brother Fei to the end is my final choice!" Bai Wen's words were righteous and impassioned, where was the slightest retreat from before?
If Fei Shi doesn't leave, he must be sure to deal with the current predicament, and Bai Wen will not stupidly choose to run away alone. Unconsciously, Fei Shi has become his backbone.
Fei Shi nodded, acknowledging Bai Wen's attitude.
"Even if it's running away, it's not now, you can talk about it in a few days!" Fei Shi beckoned Bai Wen to lean over and whispered in his ear.
The turning point came too quickly, and Bai Wen couldn't hold back and almost fell out of the tent.
