On the other side, in the Victory Fort a few miles away from Xiangyang City, Wang Mi shook hands with Liu Fang, the owner of the fort, and said affectionately: "Fort Lord Liu, the people of the fort are left to me. Don't worry, I always deal with justice.
We will never let the fort residents suffer."
Although many Beifu soldiers have been stationed in Victory Fort, the number is limited after all. What this expedition has to deal with is the hundreds of thousands of troops in Xiangyang City.
Attacking the city is the next step, at least to hold off the Xiangyang defenders until the Beifu army led by Xie Xuan arrives. It can be said that the task is quite arduous and relying solely on the Beifu soldiers will never be successful. Prolonging the war will be the same without the help of the fort residents.
So it's a fantasy.
Wang Mi was always considerate in his work, and he made a promise without Liu Fang's instructions. Once the war started, he would never let the fort residents rush to the front and block the guns of the Beifu soldiers.
"Secretary Wang, with your words, I feel relieved!"
"The residents of the fort are all my brothers. I leave the lives of my brothers in your hands. Please leave it to Secretary Wang!"
Thinking that his brothers were about to embark on the battlefield, and many of them would never return, Liu Fang couldn't help but burst into tears.
As an important stronghold outside Xiangyang City, Victory Fort cannot be left unattended, so Liu Fang was retained without a heated argument.
This is his territory, and there is no one more suitable than him to guard Victory Fort.
"Fortmaster, there is one more thing I want to explain."
Liu Fang wiped away his tears and said earnestly: "If you have anything to say, just ask Secretary Wang, I will definitely be there for you."
Liu Fang's determination can be seen by anyone with eyes, but there is no need to express it anymore.
Without any unnecessary nonsense, Wang Mi said bluntly: "Master Liu Fort, I have sent a letter requesting the Jin army in the direction of Qiaoshan to advance quickly to the border of Xiangyang for reinforcements."
"Qiaoshan is not far from Fort Victory. Think about it, at around midnight today at the earliest and at ten minutes tomorrow at the slowest, the leading troops of the Jin army will arrive."
"We also ask Master Liu to strengthen his vigilance. Once he sees the flag of the Beifu soldiers, he will quickly notify them to rush to meet us outside Xiangyang City."
Wang Mi kept thinking about it for a long time, fearing that the explanation of the errand was not clear enough and would delay the important matter. When he finished speaking, he found that the fort master Liu Fang did not have much reaction, but looked confused.
Wang Mi frowned, and Liu Fanglie said with some embarrassment: "Secretary Wang, you don't need to ask for these things, I will arrange them all."
It seems so, a bit too talkative.
…………
Several people were riding on the horse. For a long time, Wang Mi didn't say a word. This time he was going to support Liu Yu. Even someone like Wang Mi, who was not good at equestrian skills, needed to ride faster. So, in addition to holding the reins tightly, he
Keep a good posture and don't dare to talk nonsense at all.
Only when I saw He Mai leisurely in front of me, I felt uncomfortable.
According to Wang Mi's understanding, He Mai, who also came from a local family, should be about as weak as him in terms of archery, horse riding, and archery.
Unexpectedly, after a while, the military camp came over, and it was discovered that He Mai still had some skills in him.
Not only that, He Mai's riding skills are also quite good. It can be said that he will not be frightened even if he marches thousands of miles.
"He Mai, I see that your riding skills are good, and you even have kung fu. When did you practice it?"
Wang Mi opened his mouth, and He Mai realized that he had unknowingly left the general behind. He really shouldn't have.
He quickly slowed down and kept pace with Wang Mi.
"It's a long story. Although my He family is considered a big family in Lujiang, the Lujiang area is incomparable to Jiankang City. There are barren mountains and ridges everywhere, and outside the manor is a vast forest. You can see it at a glance.
, maybe not even a few living people can be seen.”
"To tell you the truth, thieves are quite rampant in the Lujiang area, and the children of aristocratic families have to learn a few punches and kicks, so they can always defend themselves."
That's it. Wang Mi nodded, thoughtfully.
No wonder this boy dared to come all the way from Lujiang to establish a foothold in a martial arts place like Jingkou. It turned out that the He family in Lujiang did not care about their children.
"However, since you have skills, why were you beaten by Diao Xing's gang of thugs in Jingkou?"
"Logically speaking, you should be able to knock them all down!"
When the incident in Jingkou was mentioned, He Mai's face turned dark immediately.
Don't slap people in the face. How can Secretary Wang specifically investigate what people don't want to hear?
"That's because they have a large number of people, but I am weak and don't want to fight hard and make myself suffer."
"My body is so valuable, how can it be damaged by those evil people who don't stand up to the table? It's really not worth it."
Wang Mi was dumbfounded. Who would have thought that someone would have all these thoughts in his mind, that he was willing to be beaten just because he was unwilling to hurt himself? What kind of extraordinary person was He Mai in front of him?
?
"He Mai, your brain circuit is really beyond the comprehension of ordinary people, I admire you."
He Mai raised his thick eyebrows: "What does brain circuit mean?"
"Secretary Wang, you actually have a way in your head?"
Wang Mi: Well, I have no words to answer.
What is this expression?
He Mai had some epiphany. Although he didn't understand what a brain circuit was, he was sure that it was definitely not a good thing.
Immediately, an idea flashed in his mind, and he smiled and said: "But, Secretary Wang, do you think it will be smooth sailing for our army when we go to Xiangyang?"
The iconic half-smile look on He Mai's face clearly reminded Wang Mi that his words were specifically meant for him.
how?
How dare you connotate me?
As long as I am involved in anything, no matter how big or small, there will definitely be turmoil?
"No need to ask, don't worry, the future will be bright!"
Someone looked forward expectantly. As long as I am here, the demons and monsters in Xiangyang City will surely retreat!
"Eh?"
"How is this going?"
Wang Mi had just made a bold statement, but before he could finish his words, he saw the cavalry team in front of him, who was responsible for clearing the way, suddenly turned around and headed towards them in a rapid retrograde direction.
Is this... something happened?
Wang Mi couldn't help but glance at He Mai: It's all your fault!
No need to explain, He Mai could guess the meaning of Wang Mi's disgusted look at this moment, grinning awkwardly.
It can’t be so accurate!
Xiao He couldn't help but think that he had always been a good person with bad intentions, and his heart skipped a beat.
The sky is full of blessings from gods and Buddhas, but don’t let anything big happen!
Although he had a bad mouth, He Mai still sat with his butt upright. He absolutely did not want anything to happen to the Beifu soldiers.
"What happened up front?"
Wang Mi rode his horse out of the queue. When the cavalry running back saw him coming out, they immediately came up to meet him and said in a hurry: "Secretary Wang, it's bad, there is a three-edged spike array in front, and the cavalry can't get through!"
Triangular spike array?
What it is?
Wang Mi, who didn't have much battlefield experience, ran through the cavalry's words in his mind and could probably understand what he meant.
"You mean, there's a trap ahead?"
The cavalryman was sweating profusely, and the red tassel on his coat kept trembling as he nodded violently.
Wang Mi's heart skipped a beat, something bad had happened!
