"General, the thieves have retreated!"

A young man carrying a knife reported to Wang Ping.

The madness in his eyes has not completely subsided, and his face is not sure whether it is stained with his own blood or someone else's blood. There is a faint excitement and an inexplicable weirdness.

The Wei thieves' attack today was very weak, completely different from yesterday.

Wang Ping glanced at the young principal with a frown and criticized:

"Wang Junhou, how many times have I told you not to rush to the front every time! Why don't you always listen?"

During the Battle of Guanzhong, the Central Guards moved thousands of miles to attack Bingzhou.

In addition to the Liangzhou cavalry, the army he led also included a group of Liangzhou Yicon.

The group of Liangzhou Yicon were commanded by the army commander sent by the Liangzhou Governor's Office.

These army commanders are actually the reserve officer corps of the Liangzhou Army.

They were either from the martial arts hall or the staff corps, and Hu Qiyi was brought by Feng Duhu to train them.

This military lord of Wang Ping's family set out from Jiuyuan with General Guan, and fought every battle along the way. His classmates called him "Crazy Wang".

It was precisely because of his recklessness that he achieved military exploits in the Battle of Guanzhong.

So he was promoted to regular status in advance, and he was converted from a military commander of the Yi Congjun to a military lord of the Han army.

Generals with similar origins as "Madman Wang" were basically admirers of Feng Duhu, and they were also supporters of the Han Dynasty's New Deal.

Facing the Han's biggest enemy, the Wei thieves, they had the firmest will to fight.

Wang Ping was able to defeat Sima Yi's tens of thousands of troops with thousands of men. These generals with firm beliefs played an extremely important role.

At this time, when Wang Junhou heard Wang Ping's criticism, he just grinned and said nothing.

Wang Ping was not very literate and knew that his knowledge was not high, so he had a narrow-minded nature and was suspicious of himself.

But over the years, Feng Duhu not only did not despise him, but instead made important use of him.

He was even asked to lead these young generals who came out of the staff group or the martial arts hall.

Therefore, in addition to gratitude, Wang Ping also felt fear. In order to avoid making mistakes, he always reminded himself that he must strictly abide by and implement the laws implemented by Feng Duhu in the army.

He knew very well that these young generals under his command were direct descendants trained by the Central Protector.

Moreover, these people indeed play an immeasurable role in the army, and Wang Ping himself also values ​​them very highly.

Although on the battlefield, no one can guarantee what they will encounter in the next moment.

But in the battle at Otaniguchi, these young generals had already suffered a lot of casualties, which made Wang Ping feel heartbroken.

If the ordinary soldiers are gone, the worst case scenario is that a group of local county soldiers will be transferred over.

But without any of these young generals who are brave, resourceful, and daring to fight, the future of the army would make Wang Ping tremble in his heart.

Looking at Wang Madman's look, Wang Ping knew that he didn't listen.

He was so angry that he took the scabbard and swiped it hard, cursing:

"If you don't listen to me, do you dare to forget what the Central Protector said? Huh? What did the Central Protector tell you before?"

The scabbard hit Madman Wang's body, making a "dang-dang" sound of metal clashing.

"General, I'm wearing fine armor, it's okay..."

Hearing what Madman Wang said, Wang Ping became even more angry. He simply stopped showing mercy, found the gap between the armor skirt and the calf, and slapped him hard:

"Pingcheng made these fine armors for you to put on to protect you, not for you to test the strength of thieves' weapons and guns!"

This time, Madman Wang was finally knocked out with an "ouch" sound.

It is thanks to Xinghanhui’s investment regardless of cost and the continuous improvement of iron-making technology over the years.

The iron smelting workshop in Pingcheng can finally produce steel that is more useful than fine iron in small batches.

The weapons made from these steels can be called magical weapons, very sharp.

Armor made of steel is not only lighter, but also stronger than armor made of fine iron.

Facing the thieves' heavy weapons attack, the protective ability of steel armor is also higher and it is more resistant to impact.

In Feng's words, fourth-generation aircraft are evolving into fifth-generation aircraft.

Of course, weapons and armor made of such steel may not be able to cover the entire army.

In the future, only the most elite battalions will be eligible for equipment.

In addition to the reason that the cost is too high - the landlords have no surplus food - the bandit army is still in the third-generation machine era.

Similar to MiG-23 versus F22?

The Hu Xianbei Xiaowei Mansion Army stationed in Pingcheng, because the tower near the water got the moon first.

Of course, it is also possible that Feng Duhu did it intentionally.

After all, replacing military equipment is a matter of life and death before the battle.

It is impossible to promote it in the military before it has been tested in actual combat.

That's why they were equipped with new weapons and armor that could only be regarded as experimental products.

At the same time, this battle is also an actual battle to test the latest weapons and armor.

The effect cannot be said to be very good, it can only be said to be very good.

The high and fearless morale, the soldiers who fought to the death, the magical weapons, and the extremely high armor rate caught Sima Yi off guard and broke one of his teeth.

"General, general, I look at that thief, he seems to be doing something strange!"

Madman Wang raised his arm to block the scabbard and shouted repeatedly.

Wang Ping glared at Crazy Wang fiercely.

If it weren't for the atmosphere brought about by this guy, the military Lieutenant General would have been able to reduce casualties by at least 30%.

It is a good thing for soldiers to use their lives, but it is rare for these generals to fight for their lives and make the commander feel distressed.

"Sima Yi is planning to bypass us and attack Jinyang."

Wang Ping raised the telescope and looked at it for a while, and already understood Sima Yi's plan.

"Then what do we do?"

Madman Wang became a little anxious, "General, why don't you let me lead you down..."

"you shut up!"

Wang Ping shouted, "Go down and keep your position!"

Can attacking and defending the camp be the same thing?

The difficulty of the two differs several times.

Wang Ping has the confidence to defend the camp, but he has no confidence to attack it, let alone the number of people who can fight now is only about 2,000.

Moreover, these two thousand people had fought hard for several days and were already exhausted.

There were not even siege equipment.

If you dare to go down to the high ground and attack the Wei bandit camp at this time, isn't this asking for death?

Looking at the Wei army below the high ground, we saw that some of the former troops had already broken out of camp, bypassed the high ground, and headed towards Jinyang.

But even if you see Sima Yi's plan, what can you do?

Wang Ping sighed and turned to the southwest again, with worry in his eyes.

Can we still wait for reinforcements?

But no matter what, Sima Yi adjusted the direction of the battle in time, allowing the Hu Xianbei Xiaowei Mansion Army guarding the last high ground to finally get a temporary respite.

At the same time, the Han Dynasty was in a critical moment in Shangdang's last stronghold, Gaopingguan in Shangdang.

After the Dong Zhuo Rebellion, Shangdang moved to the county.

Together with Shangdang and Hedong, it has been Cao Wei's territory for decades.

Therefore, Gaopingguan has not had any strategic position over the years, resulting in no one taking care of it, and it is in a dilapidated state.

But Gaopingguan is also the most important pass from Hedong to Shangdang, and the terrain is considered dangerous.

Although the Hedong Dudu Mansion has suffered heavy losses over the past few days.

First, they stormed Gaodu City, and then rushed on their way to also storm Changzi City.

Not to mention the casualties, it is difficult to count just the soldiers who were separated and missing.

In Gaoping Pass, the total number of soldiers that can be gathered now is only about 10,000.

But it relied on the geographical location and Wang Han had a complete engineering camp on hand.

It was enough for him to build Gaopingguan into a dangerous place that frightened Sima Shi in the shortest time and made him hesitate to move forward.

Sima Shi tried two attacks, but Wang Han repelled them both times. He temporarily stopped and immediately captured the Gaoping Pass.
