"The general is here!" Hearing that Wang Xun was the first to call him, the worry about the war on Yu Wenzhi's face instantly turned into pride, he agreed, and walked quickly to the handsome case.
Satisfied with the performance of his good friend, Wang Xun nodded and ordered with a smile, "Select fifty bow and arrow masters from the army to serve as the vanguard of the army. Except for the subordinates of Generals Sha and Huang, the rest of the troops
It's up to you to choose. We will set off immediately after dinner tonight, and we will encounter enemy spies and scouts on the way..."
"As long as they appear within the general's field of vision, the general will promise not to let any of them leave alive!" Before Wang Xun could finish his words, Yu Wenzhi immediately vowed to promise.
Unexpectedly, Wang Xun shook his head and added with a smile: "Don't kill them all, let the few who are timid go back and report to Juchebishi Khan, letting him know that the Anxi Army of the Tang Dynasty is coming to ask questions!"
"Huh?! No!" Yu Wenzhi was stunned at first, and then understood Wang Xun's intention. He took the general's order and turned around to leave the tent.
Watching Yu Wenzhi leave first, the generals immediately understood that the decision to attack Zhezhe City was irreversible. While they were worried, a sense of pride slowly surged in their hearts.
Even including Sha Qianli and Huang Wanshan, the average age of this group is only in their early twenties, and the passion in their hearts far outweighs the anger. Moreover, they have just defeated an enemy army several times their own with a disadvantaged force.
This made all the soldiers feel contempt for the enemies around them. Therefore, even if some people were still not optimistic about the results of taking the initiative to attack, they turned their expectant eyes to Wang Xun, hoping that they would be the next one to be targeted.
"General Song, listen to the order!" Under the eager expectations of everyone, Wang Xun drew the second order arrow.
"The general is here!" Song Wu agreed and strode out of the queue.
Wang Xun nodded at him and continued to give instructions, "You go and choose fifty brothers with the best riding skills. Each of them will bring three war horses and a big flag. After dinner, we will set off immediately, and first go south for fifty miles. When we arrive,
After reaching the edge of the Yaosha water, turn around and head northwest, making a gesture of cooperating with me to attack Zhezhe City. The bigger the momentum, the better. If you can make Ju Chebi Shihan believe that your troops are sent by General Duan Xiushi
Yes, I will remember your first achievement!"
"No!" Song Wu's eyes were filled with joy, and then his young face was filled with sunshine. It was not easy to complete the task with fifty people posing as a large army. However, this also showed that Wang Xun had completely regarded him as his own.
Brothers, no longer deliberately stay away from your brother Song Yu because of his relationship.
"General Sha, General Huang..." Wang Xun quickly pulled out the third and fourth command arrows and handed them to Sha Qianli and Huang Wanshan without hesitation. "The two leaders of the troops also set up many flags and drums, and they quickly
After following General Yuwen, we led him outside Zhezhe City. We first chose the direction of attack based on the enemy's defense situation, and then waited quietly for me to lead the army. If the fighter plane permits, you don't have to wait for me. You can decide when to take action!"
Hearing this, the generals couldn't help but feel a hint of envy in their eyes. Wang Xun only had a little over two thousand troops. If Sha Qianli and Huang Wanshan launched an attack on a target outside the city in advance, after the main force arrived, they would only have
In other words, Wang Xun's order was equivalent to giving the power of emergency response to Sha Qianli and Huang Wanshan, and he himself was willing to fight for Sha and Huang Er.
Started.
"promise!"
"No!" Sha Qianli and Huang Wanshan also understood that Wang Xun valued them very much. They agreed, strode forward, took the command arrow with both hands, and held it carefully in their hearts.
After watching the two men leave the tent, Wang Xun divided the few remaining soldiers and horses into several brigades and gave them to his direct subordinates such as Fang Ziling and Wei Feng, as well as to the command of foreign generals such as Cao Mohe and Shi Manzi, each to perform certain tasks.
Later, he ordered his personal brigade to lead Wang Shisan to summon all the guards to one place, ready to provide support for everyone at any time.
After he had arranged all the details, night fell over the camp. The entire camp was busy, and everyone was working hard to make final preparations for the expedition. Wang Xun made a tour around and was about to return to the center.
During the military meal, a chaotic sound of footsteps suddenly came from behind.
By hearing, Wang Xun could guess that the person coming had not received strict military training. He immediately turned around and pressed his hand on the handle of the knife, "Who? Zhu Wuyi, why is it you? Why are you back again?!"
Zhu Wuyi, who was sent to protect the caravan, did not dare to look at Wang Xun, lowered his head, and responded in embarrassment, "I, no, the last general, no, no, I have been in a humble position. I have been in a humble position. But, but the Chamber of Commerce's
Shopkeeper Cheng said that at this time, they cannot drag the army back. So, so..."
"So you dare to disobey my general order. And you also kidnapped a bunch of irrelevant people!" Wang Xun was angry and moved at the same time. He pointed at Qi Dazui, Chu Duyan and other swordsmen behind Zhu Wuyi and questioned him.
.
Hearing this, Zhu Wuyi was even more at a loss. He lowered his head and murmured in defense, "They, they said, the clouds have been defeated by you for a long time, how can there be any robbers around who dare to touch the caravan? You
Feel free to move forward, they can slowly follow the horse hoof prints left by the brigade!"
Fearing that Wang Xun would deal with Zhu Wuyi, Qi Dazui stepped forward and took the initiative to explain to him, "Old shopkeeper Cheng has thought about it before you and the rightful owner decide the outcome, the caravan will definitely be safe. Don't blame Zhu Wuyi, sir.
I am the one who wants to serve your lord. Zhu Lvshui has refused, but if I insist on following him, there is nothing he can do!"
"Yes, yes, general, please take me with you!" The other swordsmen said one after another. "I am not good at fighting. I can help chase the remaining soldiers, clean up the battlefield and so on!"
"Nonsense!" Although he was moved in his heart, Wang Xun still had to keep a straight face and shouted loudly, "It's child's play for the two armies to fight! Besides, what I have to deal with this time is a powerful force, not a rabble like Ban Tianyun!
Hurry back and protect the caravan, everyone’s wishes are accepted by Wang!”
"We knew that the general was planning a big move! That's why we came to help him!"
"Take me with you, I'm not afraid of death."
The swordsmen were so angry that they could not easily push him away. They all asked Wang Xun to allow them to join.
In terms of skill alone, these people are indeed first-rate. But when fighting in formation, personal bravery is of little use. If someone rushes in like a headless fly, it will be easy to attack their own position. Wang Xun is not willing to
He let others take risks, but he himself was unwilling to take risks. He pondered for a moment and was about to forcefully drive away the swordsmen. However, Chu Duyan saw the opportunity quickly and knelt down on the ground with a "plop", "My old Chu is here with his tail between his legs.
I have been walking on this road for most of my life, and I have never been as happy as I am today. Please let me, my old friend, live happily for a few more days. Even if I die, I will be willing to live in this life!"
"Please give me a chance to avenge my dead comrades!" All the swordsmen knelt down and begged Wang Xun to allow them to participate in the battle.
Seeing that Wang Xun still refused to let go, Qi Dazui also knelt down on the ground and climbed a few steps forward on his knees, with tears streaming down his face, "Of all the robberies on the ancient silk road in the past few years, which one can compare with the robberies in all parts of the river?"
Are the city lords disengaged? We usually don't dare to mention the word 'revenge', so we can only keep our resentment in our stomachs. This time, with the general leading us, if we don't draw our swords, how can we not be worthy of being a man?
?!"
"Please sir, give me a chance!"
"Please sir, give me a chance!"
The swordsmen shed tears when they thought of their companions who were fighting to death. Most of the horse thieves on the ancient silk road were thugs deliberately raised by the city lords and the kings of the country. If the case was done the day before, the stolen goods would be in the country the next day.
It is sold openly in the city. Sometimes swordsmen risk their lives to protect part of the caravan to break through the siege of bandits and arrive in the city ahead with heavy casualties. In the shops along the street, you can see the relics of their dead companions. There is no blood on them.
Wipe it clean, and every piece of it will be deeply pierced into everyone's heart.
It turns out that the Tang army never dealt with the common people, so the swordsmen did not dare to expect the army to uphold justice for them. But Wang Xun was the first to break this example and let them see a glimmer of hope for revenge. Therefore, no matter what the cost,
They all want to seize this hope. Otherwise, they will not be able to face the orphans and widows left behind by their peers in the future.
Wang Xun finally understood why Zhu Wuyi, who had always been honest and honest, dared to disobey military orders today. Even he himself felt a burning sensation in his heart at this moment. Clearing his throat, he whispered, "In this case, you will form a separate team later.
Follow me, and wherever I rush, you can rush there. No chaos, no unauthorized actions, can you do it?"
"If anyone turns out to be a coward, I will kill him with a hammer!" Qi Dazui was overjoyed and expressed his position on behalf of everyone.
"Yes, we will follow wherever the hammer goes! We will follow to the death!" All the swordsmen responded in unison.
"Get up and go find Li Canjun, who is in charge of military supplies. Each person will receive a light leather armor and a horizontal sword!" Wang Xun suppressed the excitement in his heart, nodded, and said in a deep voice, "Zhu Brigade, you take them there. This
A team will also be handed over to you."
"No!" Zhu Wuyi wiped his face and responded naively.
"Go!" Wang Xun waved his hand and ordered the other party to lead the swordsmen to retreat. Then he continued to walk towards the central military tent, taking a few steps in succession. His legs were stiff and there was a tremor in his arms.
It was not because he was nervous about the battle, but because he was moved. He led a group of passionate men. Whether they had been robbers or swordsmen before, they were all good men.
With such a group of good men following us, where in the world can we not go?
With such a group of good men accompanying him, why should he run away or compromise? Tonight is a new beginning. He will reveal his long-cherished edge and carve his own mark in the green sand of the river.
.
In the midst of excitement, the call of Guard Thirteen suddenly came to my ears, "General Qi, General Yuwen's team is ready to go. He wants you to come over and say a few words to the brothers!"
"Oh!" Unexpectedly, Yu Wenzhi moved so quickly. Wang Xun was stunned, and then followed Thirteen's guidance to look not far away. In the night, a small group of cavalry stood there, square and square, as if they had been carved from a piece of wood.
granite.
"Tell him I'll be there soon!" Wang Xun took a breath and adjusted his emotions. Then he walked quickly to where Yu Wenzhi and others were. His eyes scanned everyone's faces one by one, and he wanted to say a few words to boost morale. Finally,
I found that no matter what kind of words I said were completely redundant at this moment, I could only wave my hands and shout loudly: "Let's go!"
"Let's go!" Yu Wenzhi drew his horizontal sword and shouted at the team, "Use the heads of thieves and bandits to sharpen the blades of you and me!" Then, he grabbed the horse's belly and rushed into the night like lightning.
"Use the enemy's heads to sharpen the blades of you and me!" Fifty horizontal knives were raised at the same time, making empty slashes in mid-air, piercing the endless darkness in the distance.
