Wang Ben felt very aggrieved. According to the original intelligence, among the three counties, Fufeng County was actually one of the best. Otherwise, he had to stabilize the situation in the county in time and go to Xicheng to guard against Xiliang. According to the military's reaction, the one who came over should be Wang Li.
But who would have thought that the Xiliang army, which has always been known for its toughness and uprightness, would still attack Li Ru, an old Yin man, after he died.
On the surface, all Xiliang soldiers in Fufeng County have been evacuated, as if they have been abandoned. But secretly, there are still three thousand elite soldiers stationed here to guard the place.
Wang Ben led five thousand elite troops all the way into Fufeng territory. Just when he was wondering if the other party would come directly to surrender, he was caught in the head by these three thousand Xiliang elite troops. A sap not only woke him up from his daydream, but also taught him a good lesson.
"As a general, you should be careful in your words and deeds, and keep your mind and heart alert."
Fortunately, Wang Ben is also a general, after all. As one of the few generals in the Qin Dynasty during the First Emperor's period, his subordinates are naturally capable.
After being attacked by three thousand Xiliang elites, he not only reacted to the attack in time, but also quickly came up with a response battle formation and organized troops to stop the Xiliang elites who wanted to run away after taking advantage.
After a fierce battle, he successfully caught a small mistake made by the opponent's general. Taking advantage of the terrain, he successfully defeated this elite army with a very fast charge, and deliberately let go of the remaining soldiers to pursue the defeated general. , captured Fufeng County in one go, which saved a bit of face.
But when the statistics were compiled after the war, Wang Ben really wanted to crawl into the cracks in the ground. Of the five thousand elite soldiers and horses, nearly half were killed in the battle, and the other half who were still alive were suffering from minor and serious injuries and were wailing. .
And he defeated the plan of three thousand Xiliang elites to pursue each other one after another. Although he successfully took the opportunity to capture Fufeng City, he wasted a lot of time and caused a large number of soldiers and officials in Fufeng City to flee.
This is equivalent to the fact that after a great battle, Wang Ben not only lost half of his troops, but even if he wanted to replenish them on the spot, he could not find suitable sources of troops for a while. At the same time, a large number of officials in Fufeng City fled, which also led to the accumulation of a large number of affairs. He fell into a very anxious situation for a while.
Wang Ben, who had no choice but to send a letter of apology and request for help to his father Wang Jian overnight, asked him to take people to Xicheng quickly to prevent the Xiliang army from attacking Chang'an. At the same time, he calmed down and started Dealing with the mountains of business slips on the desk, trying hard to stabilize the situation in Fufeng.
Yicheng.
Because everyone in Xinping County knew current affairs, Wang Li captured the entire Xinping County without spending a single soldier. At the same time, after he appointed the county magistrate as the new county governor and made a promise, the entire Xinping County was quickly stabilized. When he came down, remembering Wang Jian's instructions, he left his lieutenant to lead 1,500 troops to guard Xinping, while he took 4,500 of his own elite troops and 3,500 of Xinping's surrendered soldiers, with a total of 8,000 soldiers rushing to Xi'an. city.
Time passed, and two days and two nights of rapid marching finally allowed Wang Li to station himself in the city of Xi with few soldiers before the arrival of Xu Rong's army.
Just after setting up the defense, Wang Li saw the billowing smoke and dust rising in front of Xicheng. He breathed a sigh of relief and murmured, "Fortunately, I came in time, otherwise the terrain defense of Xicheng would be lost. It’s a good fight!”
In front of Yicheng, Xu Rong, who was galloping on horseback, looked at the changed flags on Yicheng and the densely packed elite defenders, and waved his hand to stop the army behind him.
"General!" The army stopped, and a Xiliang general in the army stepped forward and shouted.
"Let's camp here. We are late. The opponent has already captured Xicheng in advance. Attacking at this time will only waste the lives of our brothers!" Xu Rong observed Xicheng in front of him from a distance. After confirming it again and again, he shook his head.
He shook his head and said in a deep voice to the lieutenant beside him.
"No!" The deputy general also raised his head and looked at the densely arrayed defenders on Xicheng in the distance under the banner of "King", nodded, and turned to leave.
"Oh, there are so many talented people under Ying Zige's command." Xu Rong took a deep breath, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes. "I don't know how long our Xiliang army can last. My lord, military advisor, why did you all leave so early?"
!Where should Rang Rong go!"
When his thoughts came to this point, a trace of sadness flashed across Xu Rong's expression, and there were waves of confusion in his deep eyes, and a deep sense of frustration arose spontaneously.
Once upon a time, the Xiliang Army, which dominated the world and fought against the princes alone, has fallen to this stage.
On top of the city tower, Wang Li, who had already prepared a complete arrangement, looked at the distant army. It first stopped a hundred feet away from the city, and then directly started to camp on the spot in an orderly manner. He thought in his heart: "Xiliang Xu Rong, his reputation is indeed well-deserved. Look at it."
We have to wait until father leads the army before we come."
After making up his mind, Wang Li dispersed the three thousand cavalry in the city who were fully armed and ready to open the door and charge at any time. He made up his mind to wait for Wang Jian's arrival.
In fact, according to Wang Li's original plan, he was going to use offense instead of defense, and deal with Xu Rong with both offense and defense. But when he saw Xu Rongyuan's choice after arriving, he understood that the attack must not be carried out. Otherwise,
Based on the caution Xu Rong is showing now, not to mention sending out three thousand cavalry to attack, even if the entire army goes out for a night attack, they will probably stay in Xu Rong's camp.
In fact, Wang Li's judgment was very accurate. After setting up camp, Xu Rong personally arranged a pocket formation, specifically waiting for possible night attacks in the city. Once Wang Li attacked, it would be exactly what he thought.
Same thing, stay as much as you come.
In short, Wang Li and Xu Rong unknowingly completed their first secret confrontation, and the result was evenly matched, with neither victory nor defeat.
At night, after receiving Wang Ben's letter, Wang Jian calmed down the riots in Anding City with thunderous force, marched at high speed with an army of 7,000, and rushed to Yicheng before Wang Li and Xu Rong started their second confrontation.
.
Similarly, when he looked at the terrain and arrangement of Xu Rong's camp, he secretly admired it and gave great praise to Wang Li's choice.
"Grandfather, now that you are here, do you think we should go out and fight Xu Rong?" In Xicheng, Wang Li, who had finished his statement and was praised by Wang Jian, looked happy and asked while the iron was hot.
"No!" Wang Jian shook his head and said, "Although I also brought 7,000 troops, some of them are still new soldiers. They are no different from your 8,000 troops. With such military strength, we can defend the city."
It's okay, but if you want to deal with the 30,000 Xiliang cavalry under the command of Xu Rong, you can only look for opportunities in the battle to defend the city, but it's still a little bit worse when you leave the city!"
"Yes!" Wang Li nodded. In fact, he was not ignorant. He just asked this question out of trust in Wang Jian's ability. After all, in Wang Li's view, his grandfather was a God of War figure.
No, there is nothing we can do, but that doesn't mean Wang Jian is the same.
"Okay! Li'er, you did a good job this time! Unlike your father, huh!" At this point, Wang Jian's expression suddenly changed, and he snorted with a nonchalant expression, and then continued, "Anyway, the main bus
The mission given to us has been completed, you will then order someone to send the information here to the lord, and then we will have fun with Xu Rong, the general of Xiliang!"
"No!" Wang Li nodded in agreement and silently prayed for his father in his heart.
According to Wang Jian's character, Wang Ben may not be able to escape this humiliation.
