The soldier who reported the news hurriedly reported the situation ahead to Wang Mi.
Because Liu Yu and others were already leading the front, the follow-up troops led by Wang Mi had no intention of hiding their whereabouts.
Those who should ride horses and those who should wear armor must also wear them. This time it is no longer a sneak attack, but a serious battle, and there is no room for sloppiness.
Who would have known that something happened when we were only halfway through and didn't see a single figure of the Qin army.
Several cavalrymen chattered and described clearly the appearance of the trap ahead. In their panic words, Wang Mi roughly understood the situation.
"General Liu left two team leaders to intercept the following soldiers along the way and pass on the news to them. According to them, the half of the leading troops who were divided at the back had safely passed through the three-edged spike formation and went to join General Liu.
Already."
“Are they damaged a lot?”
As the leader of this team, Wang Mi is most concerned about this issue.
If Liu Yu was still there, he would hide himself behind Liu Yu and would only be responsible for making suggestions and would not pay attention to military details.
But now the situation has changed drastically. Liu Yu and Tan Pingzhi have already acted as the vanguard to destroy Di Qin's warships.
Beside Wang Mi, there was only one He Mai left, whose military qualities were evenly matched with his, so Wang Mi had no choice but to shoulder the heavy responsibility.
"About a dozen of the soldiers led by General Liu fell into the trap, and three of them were seriously injured and died. Some of the remaining wounded soldiers were treated and mixed into the subsequent troops, while some still stayed in their original positions.
Damn, they are still waiting for Secretary Wang’s decision.”
“Because two team leaders intercepted the notice along the road, there were no casualties in the following troops.”
Hearing that there were no casualties in the follow-up troops, Wang Mi nodded happily. People's survival is more important than anything else.
"Since there are people leading the way, why are you coming back?" Wang Mi asked his soul, and the cavalry immediately lowered their heads.
As soon as they bowed their heads, Wang Mi suddenly felt that something was wrong.
“I would like to report to Secretary Wang that although there were no casualties in the follow-up troops divided by General Liu, there were several injured in the cavalry group led by Secretary Wang.”
“Take me to see it quickly!”
Xiao Wang was dumbfounded, what kind of plot is this?
Having passed two groups of soldiers safely, it was his turn to be delayed, but he was injured. How did this group of people operate?
At Wang Mi's order, the army stopped marching. Wang Mi ran out from the road and hurried towards the area where the three-edged spike array appeared.
At the pace of a four-hoofed war horse, you can vaguely see the figures of injured soldiers sitting on the ground in about two hundred paces.
“Hurry!”
“Secretary Wang, we can’t go any further!”
Just when Wang Mi waved his riding whip and was about to rush in front of the wounded soldiers in a few steps, a few soldiers standing idle under the tree suddenly rushed over and stopped directly in front of his horse.
They waved their hands desperately, refusing to let Wang Mi take another step forward.
Little Wang had no choice but to force the neighing horse to a stop and jumped off the horse himself.
Why does Secretary Wang’s face look so ugly?
Have we done something wrong?
Wang Mi had a bitter look on his face, which made the soldiers who were waiting for him wholeheartedly, hoping to help him get out of trouble, unconsciously beating small drums in their hearts.
Could it be that Wang Mi did not agree with General Liu's temporary decision?
Looking at a group of soldiers waiting on the spot, with their hands open and doing nothing, Wang Mi could only sigh helplessly.
"How long have you been waiting here for me to arrive with my troops?" Although Wang Mi's tone was not very friendly, it was still manageable.
The two team leaders who were left behind, Ren Huaquan and Tang Zhang, looked at each other. Just when they were considering passing the blame on each other, Wang Mi suddenly spoke.
His eyes looked at Ren Huaquan. At this moment, Huaquan could only take a step forward in the eyes of Old Tang expressing deep regret.
“It didn’t take long, about half a stick of incense.”
Not long ago, when they saw a large number of cavalry coming from afar and kicking up the dust, the two captains jumped up in excitement.
I really didn’t expect that in just half a stick of incense, Secretary Wang led the army to catch up. As long as they can successfully merge with the army in Victory Fort, their mission today will be successfully completed. There is no need to worry about the Qin army’s sneak attack.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Just when they were jumping for joy and wanted to receive a big credit from Wang Mi, they were met with a cold face from Secretary Wang.
“Secretary Wang, is there anything wrong with this?”
"The time is just right. Although some horses have three-pointed nails stuck in their feet because they ran too fast, my subordinates have already taken care of them and they are not serious."
"There are two brothers who fell from their horses and were slightly injured. They are now being treated under the tree. I think, after the army passes, let them follow behind, and they should be able to follow."
Ren Huaquan didn't know what Wang Mi was really thinking at this moment, so he excitedly showed him the results of his brothers.
Under the willow tree beside the road, soldiers with their arms wrapped in white cloth strips were leaning against the tree trunks, taking a short rest. Their piercing eyes showed that their physical fitness was not seriously affected.
As long as Wang Mi gives the order, they will quickly join the queue and head for Xiangyang.
Beside the avenue, several horses kept kicking their hooves. It was vaguely visible that they were also injured. Fortunately, there seemed to be no traces of blood, indicating that after treatment, the bleeding was quickly stopped.
Let’s be great!
You have really done a lot of things!
Seeing that Ren Huaquan was not severely criticized, Tang Zhang also became more cautious and followed him, helping him from time to time.
Wang Mi was very confused. Could it be that these two people thought they had made great achievements?
Looking at the gleaming array of three-sided nails in front of me, within an area of about one mile in radius, there are scattered three-sided nails of the same size almost everywhere.
So densely packed and so many in number, they can still sit still!
“Since you have arrived a long time ago, why don’t you deal with these three-edged nails?” After hesitating for a moment, Wang Mi finally couldn’t bear it anymore.
Admittedly, he also knew that it was quite rare for these people to stay here specifically to warn the follow-up troops of the risks.
This is taking a huge risk. Now, these soldiers are in danger. As the temporary commander of an army, Wang Mi should encourage them.
However, facing such a current situation, Wang Mi really couldn't say those words of encouragement.
Hua Quan and Tang Zhang were stunned on the spot. They couldn't think of what Wang Mi wanted them to do. It was clear that they had faithfully carried out General Liu's orders.
Isn’t it just to report the situation?
What else could be wrong with this?
There was a rare expression of innocence on the faces of the two strong men. Wang Mi had no choice but to continue the task as it was.
“Since we know that there is a large army coming from behind, with stone cannons and chariots, why not take advantage of this opportunity to clear away the three-sided nails?”
“Is this difficult to do?”
“Or did you not think of it at all?”
Looking at the thousand-pound chariot behind him and the huge stone cannon mounted on it, he sighed.
For the first time in his life, Wang Mi deeply felt what time is like water, and it cannot be recovered after it passes.
