After settling on the eastern front, Zhang Yi rode overnight to Xikouzhai. He only brought one follower, Yang Bo, who was in charge of the eastern trade route.
Yang Bo participated in the defense of Wanchunzhai and made great achievements, but unfortunately, he lost his right arm.
Zhang Yi asked him to return to Mopan City with the wounded and sick, but Yang Bo refused. He wanted to stick to his position. So Zhang Yi took him to Xikou Village, where fighting had not yet broken out. When passing through Mopan City, Zhang Yi asked him to go back to Mopan City.
City recuperation.
The crescent moon hung high in the sky, and the two men were riding horses on a narrow mountain road.
"All three countries came to attack us. They are so bad!" Yang Bo said, breaking the silence. "Brothers said privately that Yi Ge is still too kind. If we had taken advantage of the victory and pursued the attack the day before yesterday, we could have killed all the people in Greater China."
Zhang Yi couldn't help but sigh, shook his head and said.
"Don't let hatred control you. We are all Chinese and should not kill each other. If they hadn't put the knife across our necks, I wouldn't have done it."
"Yes, Brother Yi arranged for me to do business with Greater China. I know them well. Most of them are good, but they are too bullying." Yang Bo nodded repeatedly and laughed out loud, "As a result, they were
If you run away, 2,000 people will defeat 50,000 people!"
A smile appeared on Zhang Yi's face. From a war perspective, this was indeed a great victory and a painful lesson for Greater China.
They will definitely consider how much loss they will suffer if they continue to invade the Mopan City area. Can they bear this loss?
This raises a new possibility. Perhaps they will wait for a while to see how far the other two countries can carry out the war. Perhaps, they will not send troops until all the warriors in the Mopan City area are exhausted.
…
At dusk the next day, Zhang Yi and Yang Bo arrived at Xikou Village and immediately caused a sensation.
Everyone inside and outside the village was in a state of excitement. People had learned about the victory of Wanchun Village. This news first reached Mopan City and then spread to all the villages.
As soon as they met, Xiao Han hugged Zhang Yi tightly and shed tears uncontrollably. His heart had already flown to Wanchunzhai, wishing he could fight side by side with Zhang Yi.
Helpless, with powerful enemies pressing down on the territory, the brothers can only defend one side.
Zhang Yi felt even more uncomfortable. In the end, the situation was not optimistic. All the brothers might die in the guard battle, and every meeting might be their last.
He could only suppress his emotions and appease Xiao Han, as well as the equally excited Huang Wen, Huang Xiu, Cheetah Regiment Captain Jiang Hua and others.
Zhang Yi held a combat meeting to understand the local situation.
Reported by Xiao Hanhui.
On April 14, after the Wanchunzhai War broke out, Little China's 60,000 troops appeared at the border. They must have received a letter from Zhang Yi asking for help. If they abide by the agreement, they should send troops to threaten Xinhui City.
But they did not do that. Instead, they made excessive demands, hoping to enter the Mopan City area through Xikou Village to fight against the invasion of Greater China and maintain peace in the region.
As Zhang Yi had predicted in advance, Little China chose the strategy of fishing in troubled waters after grasping the information that Greater China was about to launch a war. They wanted to take this opportunity to control the Mopan City area. Of course, they were ready to fight with Greater China here.
Preparation for war in a region.
This is an opportunistic idea. With a good reputation, you can still occupy this commanding heights openly.
Xiao Han flatly rejected their unreasonable demands and warned the other party that tens of thousands of people were stationed on the mountain and they could fight if they wanted.
To this end, Xiao Han arranged for personnel to light countless smoke pipes, set up dozens of battle flags on the wall of the village, and sent two teams of men and horses to take turns shuttle back and forth on the mountain, creating the illusion that the troops were strong and well prepared.
Also, Xiao Han used a powerful crossbow to sneak into the enemy's camp at night and shot an arrow at the flagpole of their military flag.
Using various methods together, they managed to overwhelm the 60,000-strong army stationed at the foot of the mountain. Although Little China had a large number of troops, the precipitous terrain offset the numerical advantage, and their commander hesitated.
After learning about the outbreak of the Wanchunzhai War, they chose to wait and see, wanting to know the outcome of the battle in Greater China before making a decision.
"I have conveyed the news of the great victory of Wanchunzhai to the people of Little China. The 10,000 defenders annihilated the 50,000 attackers, achieving an unprecedented victory!" Xiao Han said with a smile.
"They are all scared, Brother Yi," Village Leader Huang Wen laughed, "I think they don't plan to attack anymore."
"Don't be afraid of attacking. Let's fight another big battle, just like Wanchun Village!" Huang Xiu Village leader shouted, waving his arms.
They are all vigorous young men who are not afraid of fighting.
Hearing this situation, Zhang Yi breathed a sigh of relief. Compared with Greater China, the people of Little China have always lacked tenacious fighting spirit. If Greater China has not conquered the hilltop position, it will be even more difficult for them to do so.
"Ten thousand to annihilate 50,000, this number sounds a bit exaggerated," Zhang Yi said with a smile, "Actually, the truth is even more exaggerated than this. Our two thousand people not only repel an army of 50,000, we even have the possibility of annihilating them. Come on."
On the way to Xikou Village, Yang Bo complained that I was too kind..."
Everyone slapped the table and laughed.
At this time, everyone stood up to comfort Yang Bo who had broken his arm. He was a real warrior. His broken arm was not a defect in people's eyes, but a symbol of heroism.
"It's okay, I'm fine," Yang Bo thanked everyone for their concern and said with a smile, "My right hand is gone, but my left hand can still hold the sword and I can fight the same!"
"Well done, we will all fight like you!" Huang Wen said moved, "Even if we lose both hands, we still have teeth. We must let the enemy know how powerful we are!"
Everyone responded, raising their arms and shouting.
The shadow that had shrouded Xikou Village for the past few days suddenly dissipated. People said that they were not afraid of the enemy's attack. There were nearly three thousand men and horses here, and they would definitely be able to create another miracle!
Zhang Yi reminded everyone not to be careless. The upcoming situation is quite complicated. Everyone must stick to their positions, continue to confuse the enemy, and maintain this stalemate.
Zhang Yi recounted the details of the Battle of Wanchunzhai and extracted the key points of victory, such as digging caves and tunnels to avoid the bombardment of catapults, using red-hot coal to block the enemy, etc. He asked everyone to prepare accordingly, continuously strengthen fortifications, and do
Be prepared for a long confrontation.
Everyone obeyed.
Rest overnight.
Early the next morning, Zhang Yi, accompanied by leaders such as Xiao Han, Huang Wen, Huang Xiu and Jiang Hua, went down the mountain for a parade. The people in Little China were stunned. The man riding a black horse, wearing black armor, and holding a dragon stick
Isn't the big shot Zhang Yi?
He came here directly after the great victory in Wanchunzhai. It was like a magic weapon descending from the sky, and he must have brought more troops with him!
A feeling of panic began to spread in the Little China camp.
Everyone was extremely nervous, fearing that Zhang Yi would raid the camp.
Fortunately, Zhang Yi had no intention of attacking. He only led a small number of troops and patrolled the perimeter of the camp very boldly. He even waved to the soldiers of Little China and showed a polite smile.
The soldiers of Little China were dumbfounded, and many of them waved back involuntarily. This was an outstanding man who killed the overlord General Cao and repelled an army of fifty thousand men!
