Because the army lieutenants were familiar with the road to Mendela City, the journey was smooth. In particular, there were businessmen headed by Shang Hao accompanying them. These businessmen were familiar with mountain roads, small roads, and official roads, and could help Wang Can familiarize himself with the road conditions to the maximum extent.
The biggest trouble in leading troops forward is that they are not familiar with the road conditions and do not understand the local situation. But with a businessman like Shang Hao who has been around various places for many years, this is not a problem.
Wang Can led his army on the road quickly, getting closer and closer to the mountain forest where Huang Zhong was.
"Report!"
On the official road, suddenly a cavalryman ran back quickly.
The soldiers shouted loudly, and the sound echoed on the official road, but all the soldiers who heard it made way for the cavalry to pass.
The cavalry hurried on quickly. In a short time, they arrived at Wang Can's location and reported: "City Lord, we will enter a mountain forest ahead. But outside the mountain forest, there are a large number of Mendela City troops stationed. According to estimates,
The number of people is about three thousand."
Wang Can ordered: "Explore again!"
"yes!"
The cavalry received the order and left immediately.
Shang Hao said: "City Lord, the location ahead is the mountain forest where General Huang Zhong is. These Mendela City soldiers stationed on the official road are here to encircle and suppress General Huang Zhong."
Wang Can said: "A mere three thousand soldiers and horses are nothing to worry about. Our army will just move forward."
"yes!"
Shang Hao agreed.
The army was still moving forward in an orderly manner, and the three thousand soldiers and horses in Mendela City were getting closer and closer.
The three thousand soldiers and horses of Mendela City were stationed on a wide and flat road outside the mountain. This was the main road connecting Mendela City and Maiti City and could contain Huang Zhong's movements.
The general leading the army, named Yasitu, was a general from Mendela City. However, Yasitu was not taken seriously by Oud, so he was thrown to the border to encircle Huang Zhong and do insignificant things.
In fact, Oded has served as the city lord of Mendela City, which has happened in the past ten years. When the previous city lord of Mendela City, Oded's father, was in power, Arthur was a general in the army, and even more
He made many military exploits for the city of Mendela.
Even many generals in the army were brought out by Arthur. After Odd succeeded the city lord, Arthur didn't take Odd seriously when Odd didn't succeed the city lord, so Odd didn't like Odd.
Sethu marginalized Arthurtu.
In other words, it was because Arthur Tu had a position in the army that Od did not deal with Arthur Tu.
Otherwise, Arthur Tu would have been dealt with long ago.
Yasitu set up camp and the army was heavily deployed. Yasitu is now in his early forties. As the life expectancy in Mendela City is generally low, forty years old seems a bit old. However, Yasitu's spirit is excellent.
It is not affected by age, but my hair is much paler.
In the camp, there is a large tent of the Chinese army.
Yasitu was thinking about how to encircle and suppress Huang Zhong in the mountains. The people in the mountains all had black hair and yellow skin, which was very different from the skin of the people in Mendela City.
Arthur Tu did not know these people and did not know their identities.
The troublesome thing for Yasitu is that he cannot catch the opponent. Yasitu is a veteran in the army. He is well versed in leading troops and is very familiar with the way of fighting. But in the current situation, he cannot catch the opponent because
The other party comes and goes like the wind, making it difficult to catch traces.
When the two sides were fighting, once he pursued him, the other party would immediately escape. Once he stopped, the other party would come around to harass and attack again, which made Asitu gnash his teeth with hatred.
After many battles, Yasitu discovered that the other party was in urgent need of food and equipment.
He sent people to transport food and weapons many times to lure Huang Zhong to attack. But although the temptation was successful, he fell into the trap in the end. Because Arthur planned to deploy his troops near the team transporting food and weapons, but instead the camp
Empty. While Arthur was trying his best to ambush Huang Zhong, Huang Zhong attacked his camp and robbed food and weapons.
After several battles, Yasitu was always at a disadvantage.
Yasitu is already well versed in battlefield battles, but in front of Huang Zhong, he was still fooled around.
Despite countless failures, Yasitu was not discouraged at all.
Not only that, he became more and more courageous as he fought, actively preparing for the battle, and wanted to capture Huang Zhong in the mountains.
"Report!"
Outside the camp, soldiers reported.
"Come in!"
Yasitu gave an order and the soldiers entered the camp.
"Meet the general!"
The soldiers bowed and saluted.
Yasitu asked: "What's the matter?"
The soldier reported: "The sentinel sent back news that an army is approaching quickly fifteen miles away from us. This army is suspected to be the army of Maiti City."
brush!
Arthur Tu's expression suddenly changed.
Before Oud went to the city of Maiti in person, Arthur was strongly opposed to it. As the lord of a city, going to the city of Maiti in person was tantamount to putting his own life in danger. Arthur had written a letter in person, hoping that Oud would not go.
The city of Maiti was reprimanded by Oud.
Finally, Odd went to the city of Maiti.
After Oded left, there was no news.
Although people at home were also worried, news also came back that Oude was a guest in Maiti City and wanted to help Maiti City resist the invasion of Rhodes City. When this news came back, many officials in Mendela City felt relieved and also
No doubt.
Arthur had nothing to do about it.
He was busy encircling and suppressing the people in the mountains, and finally gave up and stopped taking care of them.
Unexpectedly, a large army from Maiti City came to kill him.
Just imagine, Oudh is in the hands of the city of Maiti, and the army of the city of Maiti is coming to kill, which means that the city of Maiti is holding Oud. Such a result is the most unbearable for the city of Mendela.
After thinking about it, Yasitu said: "Send the order and the whole army will be on alert and prepare to fight."
"yes!"
When the soldiers received the order, they immediately went to make arrangements.
After the soldiers left, Yasitu also stood up, left the camp, and immediately began to prepare for the battle. All weapons were mobilized, and all equipment was prepared.
While Yasitu was actively preparing for the war, Huang Zhong's sentry quietly sneaked into the forest and quickly headed into the mountains.
The sentinel came to Huang Zhong and reported: "General, your Majesty has arrived with a large army. Your Majesty is now only more than ten miles away from us and will arrive soon."
Upon hearing this, Huang Zhong stood up and said: "Send the order and prepare the entire army for war!"
"Here!"
The soldier passed the order, and the three hundred soldiers in the mountain took action.
Huang Zhong looked at Guo Jia and said, "Military advisor, with your majesty's marching speed, when he arrives outside the mountain, he will probably engage in battle with Yasitu's army. What will we do then?"
Guo Jia smiled and said: "Once the two armies are fighting in the front, we will naturally cause trouble in the rear. But according to Shang Hao, His Majesty has the lord of Mendela City, Ode. Whether the two sides can fight is still unknown.
.”
"That's true!"
Huang Zhong nodded and said: "However, we must be fully prepared. Once His Majesty and Arthur try to fight, we will start to cut in from the rear to break the situation. If His Majesty surrenders without fighting, then we will go straight out of the mountain and fight
Your Majesty, join us."
Guo Jiadao: "That's the truth!"
Huang Zhong continued: "The plan has been set, and there is nothing to change. The next battle only needs to be directed by me. Military advisor, you will take the first step and go to join His Majesty. After you see His Majesty,
, tell His Majesty our plans."
"OK!"
Guo Jia did not refuse and directly agreed.
The reason why he didn't leave for Maiti City before was because the army needed him to make suggestions. Now that everything is settled and Wang Can is here, Guo Jia has no need to stay.
Guo Jia packed up, saluted, and left under the escort of two soldiers.
The path he took out of the mountain was a path in the mountain.
When they walked out of the forest, they were already far away from where Arthur Tu camped. After all, Arthur Tu only had 3,000 troops and could only guard the main roads. It was impossible to control all aspects. This was also the reason why Huang Zhong was able to navigate the mountains with ease before.
Guo Jia rode on his horse and rushed in the direction of Wang Can.
At this moment, Guo Jia was also very excited.
Although Guo Jia has outstanding talents and can strategize, in this foreign land, even though he has stayed up all night to speak the common language of Magadha, Guo Jia still has no bottom in his heart and never has a sense of belonging, because this is a foreign land after all.
Only by Wang Can's side can Guo Jia feel at ease.
Because Wang Can is the pillar.
When Wang Can is here, the entire team is there, the backbone is there, and the military spirit will not be lost.
Guo Jia quickly rode on. He kept accelerating, wishing he could have wings on his ribs and wishing he could reach Wang Can as soon as possible. Time passed little by little, and when Guo Jia saw a black line appearing on the horizon ahead, his face showed joy.
look.
bumped into!
There must be Wang Can's army in front.
He is about to meet up with Wang Can.
The war horses were galloping, and within a short time, Guo Jia could already clearly see the troops rushing ahead. He rode up to meet the vanguard of Maiti City on the way, and immediately reported his name and said: "Please tell me, Guo Jia wants to see you."
City Lord."
Just as the soldier was about to turn around to report, the sound of horse hooves was heard from behind.
Wang Can's horse has arrived.
When Guo Jia was about to approach the army, a sentinel discovered Guo Jia's whereabouts, so Wang Can knew that Guo Jia was coming. Wang Can came to the front of the military formation, his eyes fell on Guo Jia, and he smiled and said: "Follow me!"
"City Lord!"
Guo Jia got off his horse, lifted up his robe, and knelt down to worship Wang Can.
The accompanying soldiers also knelt down.
After listening to Shang Hao's words, Guo Jia knew that Wang Can's identity had not been exposed, so he addressed him as "city lord" instead of calling his majesty directly.
Wang Can also dismounted. He came to Guo Jia, reached out to hold Guo Jia up, and said with a smile: "Fengxiao, I feel relieved to know that you are all well. With you here, I won't worry anymore."
Dian Wei stepped forward and followed suit: "Military Commander Guo!"
Guo Jiaxiao said: "Dianwei, you are the lucky one to meet the city lord so early."
Dian Wei smiled naively and was very proud. Although he was caught by others and almost sold as a slave. But he was the first to join Wang Can in the end. This is the best and the most worthwhile.
.
Wang Can didn't see Huang Zhong and asked: "Feng Xiao, where is Han Sheng?"
Guo Jia said calmly: "The old general is leading his men in the mountains to wait for the battle between the city lord and Arthur who is stationed outside the forest. If the city lord surrenders without fighting, he will directly lead his soldiers out of the mountain. If
If we start a war with Yasitu, he will attack Yasitu's rear."
"Can!"
Wang Can nodded in approval.
This is a mature and prudent approach. (To be continued)
