It was around 5 a.m. on July 15, 1969, in the Black Iron Age.
Zhang Yi led Niu Ben, Shi Gandang and captain Jiang Hua, as well as 100 Mopan City soldiers, to Yuhuangling to meet up with captain Liao Fan who was stationed at the foot of the mountain.
Xiao Han rushed back to Mopan City alone to find Xiaolong.
Song Laohei asked his soldiers to return to Songjiazhai. He only took a dozen of them to visit other strongholds to discuss the common people's alliance. He brought too many people for fear of causing misunderstandings.
Zhang Yi and others marched quickly and arrived at Yuhuangling near noon. After eating, they went to bed and rested.
When captains Zhou Rui, Cao Meng and others arrived in the afternoon, Zhang Yi and others had already woken up and were discussing the plan to attack Yuhuangling in the camp.
It was just a show to Cao Meng that Zhang Yi had no intention of attacking Yuhuangling, and his target was already pointed at General Cao.
When he learned that the two teams were completely wiped out, he would be shocked and ordered Zhang Yi to withdraw his troops.
Zhang Yi just needs to wait now. His original idea is that it is not feasible to attack Mopan City head-on. The best way is to rely on the strength of his brothers to defeat General Cao.
…
Mopan City, General Mansion.
General Cao was a little restless. He only saw the Meteor Horse from Zhang Yi's team today, and reported that he was preparing to attack Yuhuangling. However, the two teams of Sanjingang and Liang Dingtian have not sent Meteor Horse for a long time.
This is abnormal and impossible to happen.
According to General Cao's military order, at noon every day, each team must send back meteor horses to report on the battle situation. Anyone who violates the order will be severely punished.
However, General Cao sat in the general's mansion until noon and did not wait for the meteor horses from the two teams.
The Great Vajra and the Second Vajra were also anxious.
"I think we can't wait any longer. Lord, we'd better send someone to check out the situation." King Kong finally couldn't hold himself back and made a suggestion.
General Cao nodded solemnly.
All three of them had a bad premonition, but no one could say it out loud.
Two teams of people were sent out, riding the fastest horses. One team went to find the Three King Kongs, and the other team went to find Liang Dingtian.
At dusk, the two teams brought back bad news. Liang Dingtian and his guard Cao Gang died tragically under the Song family stronghold, and the entire army was wiped out. Three King Kongs, Four King Kongs, Five King Kongs and guard Cao Yong all fell in Changshan Village, and the entire village was piled up. It was full of corpses and no one on either side survived.
The Great Vajra and the Second Vajra were trembling all over and unsteady on their feet.
General Cao felt as if he was struck by lightning. He was so shocked that he sat silently and turned into a stone sculpture.
When Shiguzhai lost three leaders in the battle, they didn't feel too much. After all, the main force was still there. Now four more leaders have been lost, along with 400 veterans, as well as numerous armors, weapons and war horses. It hurts, it hurts as if someone stabbed my heart with a knife.
"This is all Zhang Yi's bad idea, you shouldn't listen to him!" Er Jingang cursed.
"That's the savage from the mountains!" King Kong gritted his teeth and said his opinion immediately, "Liang Dingtian was eager to make meritorious deeds and was surrounded and killed by the cunning Song Laohei. The same was true for the three younger brothers. As soon as they heard that Zhang Yi had defeated two villages in a row, they I was so anxious that I insisted on taking down three fortresses in one day, but in the end I exhausted all my strength and died together with the thieves from Changshan Village."
It sounds like this.
They all fought too hard and finally fought themselves to death.
Both King Kong and King Kong put the blame on Zhang Yi, but the matter is obvious. Zhang Yi defeated two villages in a row and prepared to attack Yuhuangling. He had nothing to do with the demise of the two teams. Besides, there was Guard Cao Meng has been supervising him, and it is impossible for him to do anything else.
It took half an hour for General Cao to regain his composure.
However, within three days, the dream of unifying the country was shattered. The six kings were either assassinated or fell on the battlefield. It doesn't matter if some minions die, there are more people. It doesn't matter if some weapons and horses are lost, it can be compensated. But
However, one of the capable generals died. Such a loss is unbearable.
Of course King Kong knew what General Cao was thinking, and comforted him: "Don't worry, my lord, as long as there are mountains, there will be firewood. I think Shi Gandang's military strength is not bad. Let's recruit a few more young generals like this."
General Cao glared at Donkey Kong.
King Kong is also confused and can't tell who Shi Gandang is following every day?
To put it nicely, recruiting young players is not something that can be done immediately. What to do now is the biggest problem.
"My lord, why don't you let Zhang Yi continue to attack the stronghold, and eventually he will lead a team of troops to attack other strongholds and unify the country for your lord." Er Jingang asked, he had no idea.
At this time, the words "unify the country" sounded harsh to General Cao.
General Cao has no doubt that for a brave and resourceful person like Zhang Yi, he will capture all the copycats sooner or later. But Zhang Yi's power will also grow stronger and stronger, and he will take the opportunity to recruit many young generals like Shi Gandang.
, and finally had a decisive battle with General Cao.
Only if General Cao is not stupid can he become an unstoppable overlord. Normally, his brain works more slowly, but under the stimulation of the bad news, his heart beat faster, blood rushed to his head, and he quickly came to this conclusion.
"I can't let you take risks," General Cao said to Er Jingang. This sentence moved Er Jingang, but he heard General Cao continue to say, "I can't let Zhang Yi continue to attack the stronghold and fight back and forth. Cao
All my kingdoms were taken away by him!"
"My lord is wise!"
King Kong and King Kong didn't expect this, but when General Cao said it, they realized it immediately. Zhang Yi will only get stronger as he fights, and there will be more and more generals around him. By that time, General Cao's throne will not be stable.
Already.
"Lord, I will send people to recall Zhang Yi now. The most I can do is make him a military advisor." After King Kong said that, he felt that he missed the point and added, "My lord is a tiger, Zhang Yi is a dragon, and the tiger is
For fire, dragon for water, fire and water cannot go together, in the end, we still have to get rid of this savage from the mountains!"
General Cao nodded slowly, a fierce light bursting out of his tiger eyes.
…
Zhang Yi organized his troops to prepare for a surprise attack on Yuhuangling in the middle of the night. Unexpectedly, he received an order to lead his troops back to Mopan City tonight.
This is expected.
Zhang Yi has long seen through General Cao, or people like General Cao.
Since ancient times, few advisers or generals who assist the king have a good death. Their great achievements will only make it difficult for the king to sleep and eat well, let alone General Cao, a barbaric overlord.
Very good, it's time to go back and deal with General Cao. Only the King Kong and the Two King Kong are left with him, and his defensive strength is not as good as before.
"Why are you withdrawing your troops? Didn't we fight well in this battle?" Shi Gandang asked Cao Meng deliberately.
"It's a good fight. I'm also confused, but we have no choice but to retreat if our superiors ask us to retreat." Cao Meng was also confused.
Zhang Yi stuffed a large bag of gold and silver treasures into Cao Meng's hand, smiled and patted his shoulder.
"Brother Cao has followed us on our expeditions these past few days. Thank you for your hard work!"
Cao Meng was overjoyed and immediately stated that he would speak well of his military advisor in front of General Cao when he returned.
