The emotions of the entire New Army towards Wang Siyi were very complicated.
There are tens of thousands of men, but not a single one is a rival.
Speaking of which, there were so many bitter tears!
Wang Siyi and Xu Ruolin have completely opposite personalities. This girl is a martial arts fanatic. The reason why she followed Xu Ruolin to the Qing Dynasty is because she has never forgotten the weapons of the New Army.
After arriving here, no one restricted her, allowing her to return to the sea like a fish in water.
But her performance was really disappointing.
There were several internal martial arts competitions in the New Army, and as long as she appeared on the stage, no one could beat her.
This girl's martial arts skills are not that profound, but she is powerful in two ways.
Strength and speed.
And it's also very resistant.
But anyone who really knows the business knows that these three points are the essence of fighting.
If you punch her, she won't even frown; if she punches you, you will fly away.
What else to play?
How powerful is this girl?
You can draw the three-stone bow immediately...
Many generals who claim to be skilled with bows and horses cannot draw a three-stone bow on the ground.
Out of curiosity, Zuo Mengeng also tried Wang Siyi's bow.
The result...
He hasn't touched it since.
If it were just a matter of great martial arts, everyone wouldn't be so desperate. After all, no matter how high your martial arts skills are, you are still afraid of guns.
When Wang Siyi began to learn military strategy, people understood what talent was.
Mastering "Sun Tzu's Art of War" in three days, and applying "Thirty-Six Stratagems" to actual combat in ten days, all generals were disgraced.
Everyone is saying privately that in terms of military level, I am afraid that Wang Siyi is second only to Zuo Mengeng and ranks first in the New Army.
"I want to fight back to Liaodong and seek revenge from the people of Jianzhou."
With this belief, Wang Siyi joined the New Army.
Because there was a precedent of Wang Xiuqin, Wang Siyi's joining did not cause any disturbance.
However, she currently has no military exploits, so she cannot become an officer.
"Which army do you want to join?"
"I'm going to the cavalry regiment."
Wang Siyi's choice is not surprising.
She was originally a cavalry expert, but joining the cavalry unit allowed her to show off her power even more.
Wang Siyi also has some small thoughts in it.
"If we want to conquer Liaodong, we can't do it without cavalry. I will personally bring a cavalry out and chop off Huang Taiji's head."
So Wang Siyi followed Liu Yiyuan to the cavalry regiment.
In early October, the main force set off from Linqing and marched to Dongchang Prefecture with great fanfare.
Three days later, the cavalry troops quietly left the camp one night and embarked on their journey south without alerting anyone.
In just two days, the cavalry regiment arrived in Fan County.
Here, the commanders' opinions differed.
"If we go to Shouzhang, we will definitely be detected by Guo Yunbiao. Once he escapes back to the water, our trip will be in vain."
Liu Yiyuan's opinion was to go to Shouzhang to cover the flanks of the main force, and wait for the main force to enter the water park and fight the White Lotus Sect.
Zuo Shi opposed this idea.
The cavalry regiment was originally the last to develop in the new army, and so far it has no outstanding military exploits.
Zuo Shi was afraid that the cavalry would become his subordinates in the future, so he planned to use this opportunity to give the cavalry a great victory.
Liu Yiyuan understood his thoughts and was very angry.
"You have a small number of cavalry and no logistical supplies. Once you get into a hard battle, the consequences will be unpredictable."
Zuo Shi remained unmoved.
"Chief of Staff, although our army is cavalry, it is not incapable of fighting on foot. In the two previous battles with the White Lotus Sect, we could easily win with more than a thousand troops. What is different this time?"
"You have no artillery."
The main reason why the New Army fought so easily in the first two battles was that the White Lotus Sect rebels were beaten to pieces by artillery before they could engage in close combat.
The cavalry regiment does not have artillery, so it will easily suffer if it encounters a large enemy force.
"Even without artillery, we still won't lose."
Zuo Shi was confident.
He is not arrogant, but well-founded.
There were frequent confrontations within the New Army, and the cavalry regiments were equally matched with other units.
Other regiments can fight against more than ten thousand White Lotus Sect rebels, and the cavalry regiment can definitely do the same.
Liu Yiyuan and Zuo Shi couldn't argue, and they both looked at the same person.
"Miss Wang, what do you think?"
Although Wang Siyi is not an officer, neither Liu Yiyuan nor Zuo Shi will treat her as an ordinary soldier.
In the minds of many people, Wang Siyi's status is the same as Xu Ruolin's.
Wang Siyi didn't know this, but she was still very happy to express her opinion.
"If we go to Shouzhang, there is no point in taking a detour and outflanking him. Moreover, if Guo Yunbiao escapes, the main force will come and enter the water pool, and they will face Guo Yunbiao who is also unharmed. It will definitely not be easy to fight."
Wang Siyi supported Zuo Shi's opinion, and she also added something.
"You two, don't forget, although it is the first time for our cavalry regiment to go into battle, it is also the first time for the entire army to fight in a water battle. Do you think it would be better for us to sacrifice more, or for the main force to lose more?"
This reason was so strong that Liu Yiyuan was immediately convinced.
"Then how should we fight?"
Wang Siyi entered the state, lying on the map and thinking carefully.
"Let's continue walking south, cross Weishui from Shuibao Village, pass through Yuncheng, and take the back road of Liangshan."
Liangshan is located in the triangle area where Weishui River and Anshan Lake meet. If the cavalry regiment comes from the south, the White Lotus Sect will have no way to escape.
Liu Yiyuan drew the route on the map and couldn't help but be impressed by Wang Siyi's boldness.
"Then we need to send scouts to obtain more detailed information."
The three chief officers reached an agreement, and the cavalry regiment changed its marching direction and circled to Yuncheng further south.
……………………
In the village of Liangshan Zhiyang, the situation was already gloomy and dangerous.
If Zuo Fu and Zuo Gui were to see Li Qingshan at this time, they would definitely not dare to recognize him.
The once all-powerful Li Tianwang has now become even more miserable than a beggar.
Around him, there were still more than a hundred brothers left, none of them intact.
The outer walls of the stockade were completely destroyed, and the wood burned for many days and has not been extinguished to this day.
Guo Yunbiao's men had already reached the second wall. Although they suffered heavy casualties, everyone knew that it was only a matter of time before the village was breached.
On the one hand, there were too many casualties among the brothers, but more importantly, there was no food or water in the village.
"King of Heaven, there is no way to go on like this. Why don't we find an opportunity tonight and let's rush in together. Let's rush out as many people as we can."
The speaker called Ma Shengqi, a hero from Fan County. This village now belongs to him.
After Guo Yunbiao's uprising, he violently attacked Li Qingshan, and Shouzhangji fell in just one day.
Li Qingshan fled in embarrassment with several brothers. Fortunately, he got the support of Ma Yingzhi, otherwise he would have died without a burial place.
Then Li Qingshan summoned his brothers, and soon gathered a team of tens of thousands of people, and began to fight fiercely with Guo Yunbiao on both sides of the canal.
It's a pity that they are not proficient enough when it comes to battlefield battles. What they didn't expect was that Guo Yunbiao actually had blunderbuss and artillery in his hands.
After fighting for nearly a year, Li Qingshan suffered heavy losses and was trapped in this village. He was at the end of his rope.
It is worth mentioning that none of the remaining brothers defected.
Just because these people are Li Qingshan's diehards, even if they surrender to Guo Yunbiao, they will not survive.
Li Qingshan looked around and saw that the old brothers were exhausted, everyone was injured, and they were obviously unable to fight anymore.
But he also knew that Ma Yingzhi was right.
If you don't break out, you can only wait to die here.
No matter how many people die during the breakout, only one will survive.
Thinking of wandering around the world and making a living from now on, a hero like Li Qingshan can't help but feel sad.
"This time it's my brother who has caused trouble to all the brothers."
A man who was playing tricks with axes laughed and said: "What did brother say? We are brothers who have been friends for eight years. We have agreed to die in the same year, the same month and the same day."
Ma Yingzhi shouted: "We can't all die here, otherwise, no one will avenge us. Brothers, no matter who breaks out tonight, remember to go to Yuyuan to find my brother Ren Qi. My brother is very powerful in martial arts. I have many friends in the world, and they will definitely be able to avenge us."
Everyone listened and took notes secretly.
Just wait for it to get dark and then fight bravely.
No one has noticed that someone is already eyeing this place on Fenghuang Mountain in the northwest of Liangshan Mountain.
Behind Phoenix Mountain, thousands of cavalrymen quietly packed up their equipment, waiting for orders from the top of the mountain to attack the White Lotus Rebellion's camp.
"Is this Liangshan? It doesn't matter. The people of Song Dynasty are really not good at it. They can't conquer even a small mountain like this."
Wang Siyi completely ignored the bandit camp that stretched for miles below, but was extremely disappointed with the famous Liangshan.
No matter how much I think about it, I still can’t figure out why the Song people couldn’t conquer a mere 200-meter hill and had to recruit reinforcements?
