Wang Ping and Xu Chu glanced at each other and saw that Cao Zhi had arrived. They were both happy and surprised, and they all froze there for the time being. Cao Zhi hurried over, glanced sharply, and shouted: "The enemy is in front of us, and you two are fighting in the same room."
, How indecent is it to dance with guns and swords here, put it all away for me!"
Xu Chu sheathed the knife angrily, but still walked forward reluctantly and said: "Brother, you came just in time. This Black Mountain bandit has slipped through the net in our military camp. We can't take advantage of him this time.
"
Cao Zhi couldn't bear it anymore and roared: "Fart, you...".
Xu Chu also wanted to defend himself, but Cao Zhi ordered him: "Stop!" Cao Zhi looked around and saw the soldiers and civilians standing far away from each other, but he still showed the majesty of a captain and shouted: "
Go and do your own business, don't join in the fun."
The sergeant, who was still turning his head three times, suddenly dispersed as the civilians yelled. Cao Zhi finally relaxed and talked to the two of them: "Come on, let's go in and find a place to talk slowly. What's so great about this, that we are actually making trouble?"
It’s really unreasonable to have it turned upside down like this.”
Cao Zhi took the two of them in, sat down on a broken table and chairs in the barracks, and asked them to sit around the table. He sat in the middle, looked around, and said, "No need to say anything about what you two have to do."
You can also cause such a big fight, I really admire you."
Xu Chu blushed and argued rudely: "Ah! Brother, he and I have a sworn hatred. Me and..."
Cao Zhi waved his hand again and said: "From now on, the grudge between you two will be temporarily put aside. No one is allowed to mention it again. I can tell you that no matter what Brother Wang did before, he is now in the same boat as us. What matters now is
How to retreat from the enemy? Please give me some advice..."
While Xu Zhu and Wang Ping were looking at each other like cocks, there were more cross-eyes in the Jingfu tent three miles away, and all of them looked evil.
In addition to the leaders of the barbarian army such as Jingfu, Li Hu, and Wujie, there is also a middle-aged man sitting on the lower left desk. This man is wearing a suit of armor, has a dignified appearance, and has majestic bones. He is about fifty years old.
Up and down, there is a calm but majestic temperament in the words, the bearing is extraordinary, and the aura of everyone is aristocratic in the eyes and glances. It is not like most of the barbarian army leaders here who are full of gangsterism, but the body is a bit fat, I guess.
The result of being pampered at home.
The barbarian leaders present all had serious expressions. Some of them were injured, with bloody white cloths wrapped around their bodies. Most of their cold eyes were directed at the man on the lower left. It seemed that this man was of extraordinary magnanimity.
Very unpopular.
This person was Zheng Bao, the governor of Chaohu, and he didn't care much about these cold looks. He didn't have a good impression of these barbarians, and he had no choice but to cooperate with them, with the mentality of taking advantage of each other.
Zheng Bao's wishful thinking was good. At the right time, he entered a battlefield where both sides would suffer losses, and achieved an unparalleled feat. More specifically, Zheng Bao used Jiang Xiaman to lead the battle for him, and when the two sides were almost done fighting,
He comes out again to clean up the mess.
His soldiers and horses entered Wancheng a long time ago and set up camp thirty miles away from Wancheng, waiting for an opportunity. Unexpectedly, he was so cunning and calculating that he sometimes miscalculated and chose the wrong time to enter the battlefield. Since the Jiangxia barbarian attack on the city,
Zheng Bao kept sending detective horses to report the battle situation back and forth. No wonder he was impatient. When a rumble of explosions came from the direction of Wancheng, Zheng Bao mistakenly thought that Jiangxia barbarians had broken through Wancheng. Zheng Bao did not wait for the detective horses to reply.
Immediately ordered the troops to march straight towards Wancheng.
Everyone had an account in their hearts, and the barbarian warriors had their own wishful thinking. Zheng Bao was also worried about Jiangxia Man. He galloped towards Wancheng, but he did not expect that what he was waiting for when he arrived was not the news of the victory of the barbarian army.
It was a scene of the defeat of the barbarian army. Fortunately, he was walking through the west gate, and the situation was not as bad as the south gate. Zheng Bao gathered his troops and horses in time, postponed his march, and did not rush to help the barbarian army, but stopped and watched.
This made many barbarian army leaders dissatisfied, but for the sake of providing him with winter food, they could only tolerate it. But the behavior Zheng Bao showed afterwards made them feel shameless.
After Jingfu and others met with Zheng Bao, they agreed on the second round of attack plan. The most powerful force of the barbarian army would attack the east and south gates, while Zheng Bao would be responsible for besieging the west gate. In fact, the tasks assigned to Zheng Bao by Jingfu did not count.
It was heavy and dangerous, so they still had to do the main attack. Jingfu didn't expect Zheng Bao's troops to break through the west gate. He only hoped that Zheng Bao could hold off Lu Kang's troops at the west gate. But what went against his wishes was that Zheng Bao himself fought for the first time.
The second round of the attack was inactive as soon as it started. It was procrastinating, and after a few perfunctory attacks, it led its troops to withdraw from the battlefield early.
Lu Kang was not a fool. When he arrived at the west gate, he recognized Zheng Bao's banner at a glance. He also took a look at Zheng Bao's troops composed of water thieves, and he could see Zheng Bao's desire to preserve his strength.
Lu Kang was overjoyed and immediately moved most of the troops defending the west gate and turned to reinforce the south gate, which put great pressure on the barbarian troops attacking the south gate.
When Jingfu received the battle report that Zheng Bao had withdrawn from the battlefield, he was so angry that he cursed his mother, but there was nothing he could do. He could only adjust his troops as soon as possible to put pressure on the east gate, hoping that there would be a breakthrough in the east gate. If he could not take the east gate, at least he would not be able to do so.
You can let Lu Kang focus on one thing and lose the other, and allocate part of his troops to reinforce the east gate to reduce the difficulty of attacking the south gate.
But Wei Cheng thought that Cao Zhi went to the east gate and, without asking Lu Kang for help, not only defended the east gate, but also severely damaged the barbarian army, and caused great panic in the hearts of the barbarian army. Now there are rumors among the barbarian army.
The Han army invited experts and they were able to drive thunder and fire.
The barbarians believed in the theory of ghosts and gods. Cao Zhi's explosives made the barbarian soldiers depressed and panicked. They firmly believed that the Han people could not win with the help of the God of Thunder, and the God of Thunder must not be offended. The idea of retreating troops was temporarily popular among the army.
spread.
Zheng Bao also knew that many barbarian leaders were dissatisfied with his behavior. At this time, his heart was racing, and he rolled his eyes. He had already made up his mind. He smiled, raised the bowl and plate with wine in front of him, and said to Jingfu
Said: "Big boss, don't worry. After two strong attacks by the leaders, Lu Kang is only at the end of his strength. After the consumption of the previous battles, he has no more soldiers and weapons to use. We will wait for the next one."
We can conquer Wancheng in one fell swoop."
Zheng Bao was talking to himself, but not many people in the big tent agreed with him. Only Wu Jie laughed a few times and nodded in agreement.
With Zheng Bao raising the glass.
Li Hu even sneered when he heard this: "Yes, as Governor Zheng said, through the previous battles, Lu Kang's Lujiang Army suffered a lot of losses, but they were all obtained with the blood of our brothers. Governor, you have done it again."
