After another two days, the ministers sent by the imperial court arrived. Lord Fang and Lord Huang led the civil and military ministers out of the south gate to greet them. The soldiers are divided into two sides, waving flags, on both sides of the road, ten steps and one post, the market along the way, the people cheer endlessly.

The guard of honor of the strange soldiers led by Wan Chengpeng was divided into two sides of the city gate, and the road was opened by eighteen military flags, and the queue was neat and majestic. Under the command of Wan Chengpeng, the cavalry honor guard held spears to greet the ceremony, and their movements were uniform. After Captain Shi's team entered the city, forty cavalry leaders, led by Wan Chengpeng, led the way in front.

After entering the city, Captain Shi said that he wanted to go up to the city tower in front of him to observe the enemy's situation, so he came to the north gate and boarded the city tower surrounded by everyone.

At that time, it was the wind and the sun, the captain looked far away from the city tower, and the military camp of the Tufan army could also be clearly seen, only to see that in the distance outside the city, the Tufan military camp was overwhelming, boundless, like a black and oppressive ocean. "With such a large scale of the Tufan army, why did it stand still and hold on to our army so much?" Captain Shi turned his head back and asked Fang Huang and the others beside him.

General Huang immediately stepped forward and replied: "That's because our army defended properly and helped each other in attack and defense, causing the enemy to attack the city several times unfavorably, so naturally we had to retreat and defend each other." Then he reported to Captain Shi how to use the cavalry to help defend the city, and cooperate with the archers on the city to repel the enemy's tactics of attacking the city many times. and introduced the Cavalry Battalion Overseer to Captain Stein.

When Captain Shi saw that Wang was old and strong, he praised him a few words. Wang Dujun hurriedly thanked him, and replied: "I have more than enough heart but not enough strength, and I rely on the young talents under the command of the adults to support each other, so that we can build this micro work." With that, he pointed down to Wan Chengpeng, who was leading the cavalry honor guard under the city tower. Captain Shi looked at the man, who seemed to be a little familiar, and for a moment he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

When Wan Chengpeng saw that the Taiwei was looking at him, he immediately turned over and dismounted, knelt down and said, "Wan Chengpeng, the son of Wan Xianghui, the governor of the political affairs, pay a visit to Lord Taiwei." When Shi Taiwei heard this, he said: "Oh, you are the son of Wan Shenzheng? Yes, after you are really a famous family, I hope to work hard and make new contributions." ”

Wan Chengpeng's face turned red with excitement after hearing this, and he hurriedly thanked him.

The next day, Shi Taiwei summoned all the soldiers to the General Military Mansion to discuss the matter, and Shi Taiwei read out the holy decree in public, indicating that the Holy Lord could not bear the people to suffer from the war, and would come to the front line in person within a few days, negotiate peace with Tufan, persuade him to withdraw the army, and return peace to the world.

After reading the holy decree, Shi Taiwei discussed with Fang Huang how to ensure the safety and security of the emperor after his arrival, as well as how to arrange the details of peace with Tufan, and finally he asked the two adults: "How many soldiers have been captured by the enemy in our army?"

Master Fang replied: "Since our army retreated to the city, it has been mainly defensive, and there have been few attacks, although there have been casualties on both sides, but no enemy soldiers have been captured. It's just that in the previous battle of Wild Wolf Valley, our army captured some native soldiers and used them as slaves in the army, but due to disability and death and other reasons, there are only about twenty left. ”

"Oh, are there only twenty or so captives? That's a little bit, how can this be?" said Captain Shi muttered to himself.

"May I ask Lord Taiwei what is his intention to inquire about the captives?" asked Lord Huang.

"That's right, before the minister came, the Holy One sent a decree to the minister, saying that after he arrived at the front, he would personally release a hundred enemy prisoners to show the benevolence of our Dafeng Dynasty and the sincerity of the peace talks, so as to facilitate the smooth progress of the peace talks. Captain Shi said worriedly.

After hearing this, everyone was silent, and after a long silence, Lord Huang said: "Now that the two sides are not fighting, it is indeed not easy to capture a hundred enemy prisoners. ”

Seeing that Captain Shi had a look of displeasure on his face, Lord Fang stepped forward and said: "It's not a difficult thing, the Xiaorui cavalry under Lord Huang's account is very powerful, and it has repeatedly performed miraculous feats, if you choose the right time to surprise the enemy camp and capture dozens of hundreds of enemy prisoners, it is not difficult." ”

Captain Shi was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, yes, Lord Huang, aren't your cavalry very powerful, this is the time for them to make contributions to the country, please hurry up and arrange for the implementation." ”

Lord Huang was very dissatisfied, and he didn't expect that he had just made a little effort, and he was put on the table by this person, Lord Fang. In desperation, he had no choice but to order Wang Dujun to summon the cavalry leaders under the hall to the hall to be ordered.

After hearing the rumor, Wan Chengpeng, who was waiting at the bottom of the hall, thought that the opportunity had come, and hurriedly came to the front of the hall to bow down: "The last general is here, please instruct your lord!"

Lord Huang explained to him the meaning of Captain Shi and ordered him to lead the warriors of the cavalry battalion to attack the Tufan enemy camp and capture 100 prisoners to return to his life.

Wan Chengpeng was stupid when he heard it, where is this meritorious opportunity, this is obviously to send him to death. He didn't know what to do for a while, he didn't agree, he didn't agree, he looked at Wang Overseer standing aside in embarrassment.

Wang Dujun looked at this kid, this kind of thing still came out to steal the limelight, this time he hit the muzzle of the gun, he glared at Wan Chengpeng, stepped forward and said: "Deputy Wan Du, such important military affairs should be completed by the cavalry battalion together, what about Deputy Zhang Du? ”

Wan Chengpeng woke up like a dream, and hurriedly went down to summon Tianci into the hall to be ordered.

After the arrival of Tianci, he listened to Lord Huang's order, pondered for a moment, and then said unhurriedly: "It is not difficult to capture a hundred enemy prisoners, but if you attack immediately, you can only return in vain, and the gains outweigh the losses." If we can give time to let my cavalry battalion act at the right time, we can guarantee that we can complete the task, even if it is two hundred prisoners. ”

After hearing this, Lord Huang felt that this kid couldn't help but talk too much, and he also sweated for him in his heart, and said: "There is no joke in the army, you can think about it and then talk about it, don't boast about Haikou." ”

"Okay, how long do you think it will take?" Captain Shi was very satisfied to have such a responsible boy.

"Up to three days. God replied.

"Three days?" Captain Shi silently calculated the emperor's itinerary in his heart and said: "Okay! Tomorrow, within three days, more than 100 enemy prisoners will be captured, otherwise we will come to see you!"

"The last general commands!"
