From a small soldier in the frontier army, an immortal god of war was born

Chapter 194: A surprise attack reverses the situation

A soldier rushed in from outside the hall, holding a scroll in his hand, and instantly became the focus of the whole audience.

Wu Fengdeng finally got a letter!

Wang Jian's face darkened: "Read it!"

The soldier raised his voice and shouted, "General, my troops and Han Fei led 10,000 Black Dragon Cavalry to set out from Xuanyuan Pass ten days ago, captured the border town of Da'an in Wei, killed the defending general Gongsun Peng, and annihilated more than 30,000 enemies and captured them."

"Then we traveled eastwards, sneaked into the interior of Wei, and arrived at the Wei capital Daliang two days ago. Han Fei, Jiang Qiyu and I killed Le Zhen to increase our momentum and force the Wei army in Xinzheng to transfer troops to relieve the pressure on the Qin army."

"This method has begun to show results. Last night, my troops ambushed Gongsun Mang's troops at the entrance of Yuling Gorge and wiped out Liang Wan's army and killed Gongsun Mang."

"Please ask the general to send someone to closely monitor the movements of the Wei army. If a Zhenwu Realm expert leads an army to support Daliang, it will be an opportunity for our army to counterattack. If not, we can also withdraw tens of thousands of troops, and the pressure on Xinzheng can be further reduced."

"No matter which of the two situations, please send a pigeon message in advance so that we can have a countermeasure."

"This matter is of great importance. The King of Qin has instructed that it must not be disclosed to anyone before it is completed. I hope the general will forgive me. This is it."

The soldier's tone became more and more solemn and serious as he recounted the battle report, and he even couldn't believe what he was saying at the end.

Not only him, but the generals around him all dropped their jaws to the ground in shock, dumbfounded and unable to believe it.

This kid has been reluctant to show up, but it turns out he has already attacked Daliang and killed three Qi Cang Realm generals!

This is too courageous!

They were all veterans who had seen many battles and had seen all kinds of scenes, but Wu Fengdeng's battle report really shocked them.

Wang Jian, who was sitting on the seat, was stunned for a moment. Then he took the battle report from the soldier, read every word on it carefully, and a long-lost smile finally appeared on his solemn face.

"Good boy!"

His eyes were filled with relief. This battle report was undoubtedly a shot in the arm for Xinzheng at this moment, and it was also the only ray of light they saw in the darkness!

"Inform the scout camp immediately to closely monitor the movements of the Wei army and report any unusual activity immediately!"

Wang Jian was also an old Chiang, so he quickly suppressed his inner joy and loudly ordered to monitor the Wei army.

Wu Fengdeng is absolutely right!
If the Wei army was very worried because of the series of bad news, it is possible that Gongsun Qi or Dongjun would directly lead the army to provide support.

In this way, the Xinzheng Wei-Qi coalition forces would have one less Zhenwu and would be on par with the Qin army.

However, because Wang Jian himself is in the late stage of Zhenwu, he is the most powerful one in the whole field. In the past, he was always fighting one against two or even three. Now in a one-on-one duel, he can completely suppress the opponent with force.

And this is a great opportunity for the Qin army to counterattack!

To take a step back, if the Wei army was reluctant to give up the great offensive in Xinzheng and still only sent one main general to support it, it would also ease the pressure on Xinzheng and give the Qin army more chances of victory.

No matter what, this is no longer a hopeless place where defeat is inevitable!

"Wang Ben, General Wang Xu!"

"I am here!" The two brothers clasped their fists and stepped out.

Wang Jian stood with his hands behind his back and said resolutely: "I want you two to immediately pay attention to the main generals of the Cangqi Realm on the Wei and Qi sides. If anyone leads the army out, immediately send a letter to the direction of Daliang."

"I will obey your orders!"

"Everyone else, there is always a way out. General Wu is currently holding back the Wei army in Daliang. If we cooperate, we may have a chance to turn the tables. When you go back, be sure to pass on this victory news to the soldiers to boost our military prestige!"

"Great Qin will win!"

……

Daliang City.

At this time, the Qin army, supplemented by prisoners from Gongsun Mang's subordinates, had completely surrounded Daliang, and the catapults formed by the baggage camp were also throwing stones into the city from time to time.

Although they were very sparse and did not have much killing power, they were enough to make the Wei army in the city always vigilant and not dare to slack off.

This is more of a deterrent.

Even though I won’t hit you now, I will definitely hit you when the time comes!

At noon, birds fly across the blue sky.

The Qin army camp.

"Just now, we received a letter from Xinzheng that the Wei army has sent out Wei Gang, who leads an army of 30,000. It seems that they are still very determined to destroy Xinzheng."

Wu Fengdeng put the note in his hand on the table and sighed slightly.

I thought that because of these two fires, the Wei army would most likely send an absolutely superior force to support, but I didn't expect that the reinforcements were of such insignificant value. The new Qin army was still under great pressure.

"The Wei army must learn to be smart this time. They will not come from the Yuling Gorge. If they take a detour, they will arrive in four or five hours."

Han Fei pondered for a moment and said, "So we still have to get rid of Wei Gang first, and then attack Daliang. If we don't force the King of Wei into a desperate situation, that old guy Gongsun Qi will not take any real action."

Wu Fengdeng nodded and agreed with this.

The Wei army was determined to capture Xinzheng and occupy Yingchuan County. They would not give up such a great advantage unless they were in a desperate situation.

This can be seen from Gongsun Mang and Wei Gang.

"But how do we deal with Wei Gang?" Jiang Qiyu asked with a suspicious face.

"This is simple."

Wu Fengdeng pointed at the map and said, "It's easy to deal with Wei Gang. What we really need to worry about is Wei Gang and Daliang attacking from the front and back. So we must divide our forces and set out immediately to meet Wei Gang and continue to besiege the city."

"Qi Yu and I will go to fight Wei Gang. We only need to bring 10,000 soldiers. Fei, you stay here to besiege the city. The only person who can move freely in the city is Gongsun Li. Xu Mao is guarding the palace and will not act rashly."

"If the two of them really leave the city together, you should lead the army to retreat, and we can make plans to attack the city when we come back."

The Qin army now has the initiative in Daliang. They can attack the city or retreat. The military force in Daliang is limited, and they will not send too many troops out of the city to pursue. Therefore, it is safe for Han Fei to run away if he cannot win.

"But, I have already planned this." He agreed without hesitation.

Wu Fengdeng turned to look at Jiang Qiyu and said, "Qiyu, go outside and ask Li Qun to lead 10,000 troops immediately. We need to recruit the elite soldiers who did not participate in last night's operation."

"Yeah, I'm going right now."

After simply assigning the tasks, Wu Fengdeng slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and then used his magical skills without hesitation.

Four plates rose up and rotated in an interlaced manner.

"Wei Gang's marching direction should be the direction of the crisis..."

He murmured something in his mouth, and after a moment he saw the three evil gates close to each other in the southeast direction.

After Wu Fengdeng got the approximate location, he quickly put away the Qimen, fearing that it would be damaged if used for a long time, and then found the area in the southeast direction on the map.

"Starting from Xinzheng and bypassing Yuling Gorge, there are several routes to the southeast."

"However, these roads will eventually converge at a fork 20 miles outside Daliang City. Although the distance is very close, if we can quickly resolve the situation, Daliang will still have no way to deal with it."

"Of course, it is not ruled out that Gongsun Qi has sent pigeons in advance to let Daliang City prepare, so we have to resolve the battle quickly, at least not allowing Wei Gang to march within 20 miles."

"Once he enters this area, the Wei army in Daliang City will probably come out of the city to attack him from both sides."

“So this fork is the key!”

Wu Fengdeng thought about everything he could think of, and finally came to the conclusion that this fork in the road was the key to success or failure.

We must defend it and then annihilate it completely!
After deciding on the plan in his mind, he walked out of the tent. At that time, Li Qun had already gathered a full 10,000-strong army. "The target of this trip is the fork in the mountain road southeast of Daliang City. Follow me first, and we will make detailed arrangements on the way."

Wu Fengdeng did not hesitate. He mounted his horse and led his soldiers, avoiding the sight of Daliang City and heading southeast.

After all, Wei Gang is already halfway through his journey, and he must race against time to set up an ambush!

After going around in a big circle like this, we finally arrived at the fork in the mountain road in the southeast after an hour.

At this time, the snow there had melted away, and all that could be seen was yellow earth and strange rocks. The vegetation on the mountain had not yet sprouted green leaves, and it was bare and difficult to hide. However, this was not important, after all, this time it was a head-on battle.

"Li Qun, Zhang Qing, each of you will lead 3,000 men to ambush around the mountain first. Remember not to climb the mountain, but go around the foot of the mountain and surround it after the battle."

"Also, leave a gap when encircling them, let some people go, and ignore them."

"Here!"

Six thousand men were immediately divided out, with four thousand deployed at the fork in the road for defense.

Wu Fengdeng sat on horseback in front of the formation, looking at the rolling mountains in the distance.

"Brother Fengdeng, Master just sent us a message, telling us to be careful of Wei Gang. He seems to be quite scheming."

At this time, Jiang Qiyu came forward, and the long sword in his hand was dotted with green light, but if you look closely, you can find that the shape of the green light is like runes.

Wu Fengdeng didn't understand, but he knew that this was a way for her and Yisu to communicate, so he nodded and said, "I think so. If Gongsun Qi sends another brainless person here, even I will despise him."

"As long as you have a plan to deal with it."

Jiang Qiyu smiled. Seeing that he was calm and composed, and obviously had everything planned out, she felt relieved.

"General Wu, the formation is ready!" Wei Zijian stepped forward and said.

Wu Fengdeng looked back and said with satisfaction: "Okay, let the brothers relax and rest here for a while. There will be a tense time later."

"As ordered!"

……

The sky gradually darkened.

On the rugged mountain road, dust was flying everywhere and the sound of horse hooves could be heard one after another.

Then, they finally came to a stop somewhere, and the outlines of 30,000 troops were faintly visible in the dust.

At the front, a sturdy general with dark cheeks and big eyes looked around and then set his sights on the broad official road in the distance. There were mountains on both sides, which looked like the back of a giant beast against the backdrop of the night.

"Oh, this is a good place for an ambush!"

"You guys, go search the mountain ahead to see if there are any Qin troops ambushing."

Wei Gang did not rush forward, but instead sent out a dozen scouts to patrol the mountain.

"General Wei, we are almost at Daliang. We shouldn't encounter an ambush. Besides, even General Gongsun doesn't know our route, let alone Wu Fengdeng." said a deputy general nearby.

Wei Gang glanced at him coldly and said indifferently: "Have you forgotten how Gongsun Mang's entire army was annihilated? Wu Fengdeng is a cunning guy. You'd better be cautious. It's better to be safe than sorry."

After all, the bloody lesson of Gongsun Mang was before him. Even though Wei Gang was confident that no one knew his marching route, he did not dare to let his guard down.

A dozen scouts rode forward quickly and returned half an hour later.

"General Wei, we didn't find any Qin troops ambushing on the two hills ahead, and there were no signs of human presence!"

"Are you sure the investigation is comprehensive?"

"Sure, we searched everywhere on the mountain and didn't find any Qin troops. There shouldn't be an ambush here."

Looking at his men's confident expressions, Wei Gang finally nodded.

It seems that General Gongsun's strategy is correct. If they spend more time and take a detour to Daliang, they can prevent the Qin army from taking action.

Just another thirty miles ahead and we will reach Daliang!

He pulled the reins: "Keep going!"

The long queue started again.

Not long after, Wu Fengdeng at the fork in the road suddenly felt a strange breath approaching, and his eyes gradually became sharp.

"coming."

"Prepare to meet the enemy!"

Wei Zijian shouted loudly, and all the Qin soldiers were ready for battle.

Soon after, the massive Wei army finally appeared in their sight. Wu Fengdeng rode forward a hundred meters on his horse, squinting at the dark-cheeked man in the distance.

"Wei Gang, I will wait for you for a long time."

The latter raised his hand to stop the actions of the Wei army, feeling quite surprised.

I actually met Wu Fengdeng!

How did this guy know that the Wei army would come from this side?
And looking at the size of the Qin army, there are only a few thousand people. Do they want to stop the 30,000-strong army with just a few people? Normally, they should bury their troops in the mountains, right?

But the scout just said that there was no one on the mountain, so these Qin troops should be here.

No, Wu Fengdeng will not seek death on his own initiative. He must have other tricks up his sleeve!

Wei Gang instantly became alert and shouted coldly: "How do you know the route of my march?"

Wu Fengdeng said calmly: "Of course it was Daqin Anqi who reported it. Your every move is under our surveillance."

spy!

Wei Gang's heart was slightly shaken, but he quickly reacted and said with a sinister smile: "Haha, you are still trying to sow discord. No one knows my marching route, not even General Gongsun!"

"Really? Aren't your subordinates considered human beings?"

"Wha, what?"

"You also said that no one on Gongsun Qi's side knew about it, but I knew it. What do you think? Who told you that there was only one person playing Anqi?"

Wu Fengdeng's tone was slightly joking, and he told lies without blushing.

As soon as these words spread, the Wei soldiers behind Wei Gang suddenly began to whisper and become chaotic.

"Could it be that our people reported it?"

"It's possible. The team is so long along the way. Who knows if someone behind us secretly sent a pigeon to deliver a message?"

"Wu Fengdeng seems to mean that there is more than one person playing the hidden chess. Does that mean there is one person beside General Gongsun and one in the camp below?!"

"It's very likely. After all, Wu Fengdeng did appear on the road we had to pass. If there were no spies, there would be no way to explain it!"

……

Wei Gang's face was gloomy. Looking at Wu Fengdeng, who was smiling but with endless coldness in front of him, his already cautious character became even more suspicious.

Seeing their different expressions, Wu Fengdeng realized that he had achieved his goal. (End of this chapter)
