Chapter 25 Ambush
The situation in Zitong Town is not optimistic.

I don't know where the rebels got their supplies, and they are going to consume them head-on, which makes Cheng Huaili a little uncertain.

In Cheng Huaili's view, this strategy of consuming the enemy's spirit by holding on to it was no longer feasible, and he could not wait for the rebels to take Changjing.

Cheng Huaili's beard had already turned gray, and he hung down on the desk, stretching out his hand to gently stroke the beard.

In the court, the generals were still discussing, but they couldn't reach an agreement on whether Zitong should continue to stick to it.

On the one hand, he felt that Zitong could no longer hold on, and on the other hand, he felt that once he retreated, there would be no danger in the southwest, and the rebels would be in a good mood.

Either way, there is a huge price to pay.

At this time, Tan Ma came to report that "the reinforcements in central Shu camped at twenty miles from Changjing".

Twenty miles outside Changjing...

Cheng Huaili frowned, and turned to look at the map in the camp.

"Bullshit!"

At this time, a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes took the case. His name was Cheng Ping, he was the only son of General Cheng Huaili, and he always advocated sticking to Zitong.

Regarding the arrival of the reinforcements, he thought he saw hope, but the reinforcements camped twenty miles outside the city?

How can anyone camp twenty miles outside the city?Marching and fighting is no child's play!

He already had a prejudice against young masters like Jiang Xubai, Cheng Ping's impression was even worse at this time, and he asked sharply, "Why is that so?"

"..."

The soldier who played the report trembled slightly, and then said: "It is said that the reinforcement generals are afraid of the rebels, so they dare not move, and they are worried about military law, and they dare not retreat. That's why."

"what?"

What is fear of rebels?
Clenching his fists tightly, Cheng Ping wished he could go to the reinforcement camp and talk to Jiang Xubai.

If you are afraid of death, why lead the army?Which of the defenders on the front line didn't escape death?
He is good, fighting and not fighting, retreating and not retreating, this is a big taboo for military strategists.

Now the safety of the people in southern Sichuan is entrusted to the reinforcements of this son, but he is afraid?Have you thought about the people?Have you ever thought about generals?

His chest rose and fell rapidly. For this kind of young man, Cheng Ping didn't like him at all. He turned his head to look at his father, clasped his fists and said, "General, the final general is willing to lead three thousand soldiers and horses to Changjing!"

Since the reinforcements are unreliable, he will defend by himself!
Cheng Huaili did not speak, squinted his eyes and looked in the direction of Changjing and Zhenyuan, and then said: "Continue to stick to Zitong."

"General!"

Cheng Ping took a step forward, but was interrupted by Cheng Huaili's wave, so he had to keep his mouth shut.

In the court, the atmosphere became more and more depressed. The question of whether to stick to it or not seemed to have an answer at this moment.

Cheng Huaili understood that even if Cheng Ping was given 1 people, Changjing would be extremely difficult to defend, and Zitong's defense would be weakened due to the division of troops.

It's not worth it anyway, even if they abandon Zitong, they can protect the vital force to the greatest extent.

Thinking about it, he looked at Changjing again.

Twenty miles...

With this distance, Changjing could be reached in less than a day, but it stopped at this time.

Cheng Huaili instinctively felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell where the troops were.

Cheng Huaili knew very little about Jiang Xubai, only that he was once a proton, and nothing else.

Thinking that a young master who had never led a soldier might indeed be afraid of the rebels, his heart sank a little.

……

"Twenty miles outside Changjing City, hahahaha..."

In Miao Jiang's camp, Wang A looked at the military newspaper in his hand and laughed and said that his stomach hurts.

Long ago, he felt that this young master did not understand the art of war, but the result was really as expected.

They camped twenty miles away, they really wanted to know what this young man was thinking.

The rest of the generals also laughed.

How long has it been?The young man opened his eyes to them again.

After calming down for a while, Wang Ah said: "It was the same with the prince a few years ago, and it is the same with this young master this time. The one surnamed Jiang really gave birth to a pair of top quality?"

At this time, the spy said again: "According to legend, many people say that the third son is afraid of the general, so he is afraid to fight!"

"Um……"

Hearing this, Wang Ah nodded in agreement: "This kind of soft-footed boy, why is he afraid of me? He is just afraid of death, it's human nature."

What human nature is, it's just mocking this young man.

With a wave of his hand, he ordered the spies to go down and put down the military newspaper in his hand. Wang Ah's smile slowly disappeared, and other generals in the camp also suppressed their smiles when they saw this.

"Generals."

Looking at the other colleagues in the battalion, Wang Alang said in a loud voice: "This is a god-sent opportunity, let us meet this young master, the opportunity must not be missed!"

Hearing Wang Ah's words, everyone present nodded in unison, expressing that they would obey Wang Ah's order.

Wang Ah was very satisfied with their reaction, and then said: "Pass my military order! March quickly, and we must enter Changjing first, and then you will be my heroes in Miaojiang!"

"Follow the order!"

The generals have been gearing up for a long time, trying to keep the credit for this time in their arms.

This is second only to taking down Yangxu City.

……

After a short rest, the Miao Jiang tribe decided to march immediately, so that the young master could not react.

Gather the troops, a total of more than [-] people, known as an army of [-], and march towards Changjing!

Not all the tribes in Miaojiang wear armor. There are at most 1 of the more than [-] people wearing armor, and there are even fewer horses, not more than a hundred.

Therefore, they have no cavalry units, nor decent infantry.

Wang A rode on his BMW, looked at the sparse soldiers, and shouted loudly: "Soldiers! The survival of Miao Jiang is at stake here! Follow me and march towards Changjing!!"

Among his soldiers, there are still a small number of Miaojiang people, most of them are Chu people, Shu people, and even some Yue people, but these people are all living in Miaojiang, ordinary people who can't survive!

Hearing Wang Ah's voice, the whole army raised their own weapons, ranging from knives, guns, swords and halberds to hoes. Without weapons, sticks picked up by the roadside can also be used as weapons.

Inside, there are elderly people in their 50s, children in their teens, and women...

"Kill the Shu dog!"

The voices of the reply came one after another, without the slightest discipline, because they themselves were not regular troops.

With light in Wang A's eyes, he urged the horse forward and led the army towards Changjing.

The army of more than [-] people formed a long dragon. In order to quickly enter Changjing, Wang A needed to ensure the speed. His front army moved faster.

And the army behind is maintained by the deputy general, marching at a not slow speed, just keep following the front army and not fall behind.

Because the horses were moving fast, the cold wind hit Wang Ah's face, making his face pale.

He remembered that not long ago, he had to sigh because he was facing Yangxu City, and now he was about to capture Changjing and establish a great cause.

Who would have thought that life could be so impermanent?To be able to have today, that Mr. Jiang must remember the merits!
Thinking about it, Wang A's mouth curled into a smile.

Of course, he didn't get carried away with complacency, and he also took care not to lose touch with the army.

Until noon, the troops led by Wang A were entering a long and dangerous road...
