Chapter 338: Going through the back door (seeking the moon)
Goryeo, Chuncheon County
After being bombarded by artillery fire, the only prosperous city along the way has been reduced to ruins. (For written novels, go to ‘Piaotian Literature Network’)
Although it was already late at night, the fires that could be seen everywhere in the city illuminated the ruined county as if it were daytime. In the raging firelight, there were collapsed houses blown up by artillery fire everywhere, and there were also those that filled the air and obscured the sky.
Cleared the smoke of the bright moon.
Occasionally, the explosion of thunder beads can still be heard, but the troops patrolling throughout the city are exterminating the remaining enemies.
Two hours ago, under the cover of artillery fire, the army finally broke through this tightly defended city.
Of the 5,000 Goryeo military divisions defending the city, more than 500 were captured, and the remaining 4,000 or so were all killed in the artillery fire.
To achieve such results, the role of Nightingale is crucial.
According to the information provided by Nightingale in the city, more than a hundred artillery pieces were aimed at the stronghold where the army was gathering in the city.
After several rounds of volleys, the Korean soldiers hidden throughout the city were killed and wounded numerous times.
The artillery fire stopped, and the large-scale infantry passed through the collapsed city wall and entered the fortified city unimpeded.
After chasing and annihilating them, the resistance forces in the city have now been completely wiped out.
Only half of the gate of the county guard's office had been blown up. (For text novels, go to Piaotian Literature Network.) The other half of the board fell to the ground, still burning.
The lions on both sides of the door were also blown out of shape and fell to the ground in a mess, lingering and gasping for breath as if they were about to die.
Inside the dilapidated county governor's office, the lights were brightly lit.
In the only room that was still intact, Duan Peng was gathering several of his generals to discuss the current situation of the army.
"Is there no news about Wang Gongye yet?" After confirming the march route for the next stage, Duan Peng raised his head and asked the general beside him.
"As far as I can tell the general, not yet!" The general spread his hands helplessly and said with a smile.
"This bastard!" Duan Peng was worried and angry, gritting his teeth and said: "If he dares to kill my five thousand elite cavalry, I will have to skin him alive!"
"General, my subordinates have something unclear, and I hope the general can enlighten me!" the general hesitated and asked with a smile.
Duan Peng sat down, took off the water bag from his waist, took a sip of air, pointed to a chair with only two legs left and said to the general: "Sit down and talk!"
"Thank you, General!" The general sat down, took the water bag handed over by Duan Peng, nodded gratefully, and after taking a sip, he asked: "Why did the general agree to let Wang Gongye lead the troops, and what's more,
Bringing five thousand elite cavalry at once?"
"What do you think of this boy Wang Gongye?" Duan Peng did not answer directly but looked at the general and asked. (For text novels, go to 'Piaotian Literature Network')
"Captain Wang has a strategic vision and a keen sense of smell that are difficult for ordinary people to match, and his judgment of the battlefield situation is extremely accurate. Moreover, this boy is ruthless and courageous, and he leads troops well. He is a rare general!"
After thinking about it for a while, he praised with a sincere look on his face.
Wang Gongye joined the army for more than a year and was promoted from a young soldier to a captain. This achievement was made with one sword and one gun, and it cannot be faked. Moreover, his colleagues all saw it in the eyes of this general.
"Well, you are right!" Duan Peng nodded with a smile, took a sip of water, wiped his sleeves and wiped his mouth, and said with a pleased smile: "Originally, I was worried that our old guys were dead.
General Zhou has no successor! When I saw him today, haha, catching this young man is really the proudest thing I have done in these years!"
"Well, the general has a keen eye, and my subordinates admire him!" After the general complimented him first, he still asked with a wry smile: "But, even so, Wang Gongye directly led five thousand troops with a captain, it seems that
It’s a bit unreasonable! If the blame comes from above, I’m afraid the general will not be able to absolve himself of the blame!”
"What do you think this general thinks?" Duan Peng said with a wry smile after hearing the general's analysis. Doing this is not only unreasonable, but also simply ignores etiquette.
Looking at the general sighing, it seems that there is a big hidden secret
"Is there a hidden secret in this?" Pian Jiang's eyes lit up and he asked curiously.
"Hey!" Duan Peng let out a long sigh, leaned on the swaying chair, and closed his eyes. Thinking of the kid's playful face and revealing a lot of information, Duan Peng said with a bitter smile: "It's hard to explain in words!"
The vast night and the silence of the wilderness. (For written novels, go to ‘Piaotian Literature Network’)
In the night sky, dark clouds cover the sky. The earth is pitch black.
The wind blows, and the wormwood rises slightly in the barren wilderness.
Occasionally there are small animals in the wormwood, crawling excitedly, then stop, prick up their ears, and listen to what's going on around them.
Suddenly, the prairie dog stood up. After stopping for a while, as if it had been greatly frightened, it threw away the grass seeds in its hand, swooped into the dense wormwood, and disappeared.
.
Suddenly, a group of war horses roared past, and the wormwood swaying in the wind was suddenly thrown into a mess.
One, two...
Thousands of horse teams arrived one after another. They came like the wind and left like the wind.
It is now the fifth night since this elite cavalry of 5,000 people set off from Incheon.
Along the way, they continuously conquered several groups of enemy troops and killed countless enemies. Although they were extremely tired after traveling a long distance, these cavalrymen still had high morale. Their bloodshot eyes shone like a pack of wolves.
The army galloped past, and in the vast wilderness only a group of dark war horses could be seen, neatly arranged in formation, advancing rapidly towards the front.
The high-intensity march continued into the early morning. When the sun rose, the team finally stopped at a winding river like a jade belt under the dewy morning sky. (Read the novel in text.

Wang Gongye, who stood at the front, had a calmness and courage that did not belong to his age group on his slightly immature face.
After taking the lead in driving the horse to the river, he tightened the reins of the horse, stopped, turned over and dismounted, walked to the river, washed his face with clear river water, turned around, and told the messenger beside him
The soldier said: "Tell the brothers to dismount and rest for now!"
"Yes" the messenger got on his horse, drove the horse, and galloped towards the back of the long queue.
"All troops dismount and take a short rest!" the ordering soldier shouted as he ran all the way.
After hearing this coveted order, the soldiers who rode on their horses day and night for several days finally breathed a sigh of relief and got off their horses.
They dragged their tired bodies to the river, picked up the sweet and clear river water, and drank a lot first.
After washing his face, Wang Gongye stood up and stretched. He looked back refreshed and looked at the long team squatting by the river. He laughed loudly, walked a few steps, and suddenly turned back and said
: "A few days ago, didn't you ask me how I became the cavalry general?"
Hearing this, the soldiers turned their heads curiously and looked at the young general, curiously waiting for his answer.
"Actually!" Wang Gongye glanced at everyone, smiled slightly, and said: "Actually, it's very simple. I took the back door and became a cavalry general!"
"Going through the back door, general, can you tell me which woman's back door you are going through? Haha!" a veteran yelled with a sly smile on his face.
"There will be plenty of women in the future!" Wang Gongye didn't care about being teased. He waved his hands carelessly and pretended to be mature before continuing: "The back door I used is not the back door you think about every day!
"
"What kind of back door is this? General, please don't disappoint us!" The soldiers relaxed uneasily and made fun of the general.
Seeing that the soldiers' emotions were aroused by him, Wang Gongye coughed and asked with a smile: "Do you know the military advisor?"
"I know!" When the military advisor was mentioned, the soldiers' eyes lit up and they replied with high spirits.
"Do you know what the military advisor is called?" Wang Gongye smiled and asked proudly with his hands behind his back.
"I heard that his surname is Lu, a good friend of King Huainan!"
"I heard that the military advisor is the most talented person in Jiangning!"
"The most talented person in Jiangning is the most talented person in Zhou Dynasty, okay?"
For a time, the life experience of the military advisor became the subject of speculation among this group of soldiers.
Listening to the noisy voices of his men, Wang Gongye chuckled and said, "You are all right, but there is one thing I must tell you!"
"That's right!" Wang Gongye paused, then laughed and said, "Actually, the military advisor is my brother-in-law!"
"You got it!"
At the Sheriff's Mansion, Duan Peng, who was thirsty for words, took a sip of water, looked at the shocked general on the opposite side, and asked with a smile.
"Ah?" Pian Jiang was stunned.
"No, it's not! This..." General Pian shook his head, finally reacting, and stammered: "This, it seems a bit too incredible!"
"Who says otherwise!" Duan Peng smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Originally, I thought that boy Wang Gongye was deceiving me. Until, this boy said that before he was arrested, he was the third young master of the Wang family in Jiangning. And
The military advisor, ahem, is the intimate husband of the eldest lady of the Wang family, ahem! Only then did I know that this boy was not lying!"
"Oh!" Pian Jiang heard this and nodded suddenly.
"But!" After hearing this, the general suddenly thought of something and looked at the general and said, "But the general dared to grant him five thousand cavalry. I'm afraid that's why?"
"That's natural!" Duan Peng chuckled and nodded, then lowered his voice and said: "From what the prince said, although the military advisor currently has no official position or position, he is actually the emperor's advisor appointed by His Majesty, and the teacher of King Zheng! And King Zheng,
He is the crown prince whom His Majesty has cultivated with all his heart. Think about it, once King Zheng ascends the throne, the prestige of the military advisor in the Great Zhou Dynasty will be unparalleled.
I, the general, do this to make good friends with military advisors and seek a good future!"
"And, more importantly, this kid Wang Gongye has this kind of strength. What he lacks is just an opportunity!" Duan Peng smiled and said expectantly: "This general will give him this opportunity. As for how far this kid can get.
, it all depends on his personal destiny!"
