Chapter 15 The Opportunity to Lead the Army

After a night of galloping, Wang Wei and Wang Luo led a battalion of soldiers and horses to Qingyuan City.

"Where is father now?" Wang Wei raised his visor and asked loudly towards the city wall.

"The general is still in the north, and there is an army of northern barbarians blocking the way. Second son, do you still want to go there?" Seeing that Wang Wei had no intention of entering the city, the guards on the city wall were hesitant to let the soldiers close the city gate. lay down.

"Put down the city gate!" Wang Wei shouted from below.

The guard hurriedly put down the city gate, but Wang Wei still stayed outside the city.

"Wang Luo, if you enter the city, don't go any further. You will be close to death in front of you. I may not be able to protect you on the battlefield."

Wang Luo shook his head.

"A real man should carry a three-foot sword and make an indelible achievement. If I have one more person, there will be more possibilities. How can I not go?"

While the two were arguing endlessly, the defenders on the city wall suddenly spoke.

"Second Young Master, I think you all came here overnight. You are exhausted, why don't you all go to the city to rest and recover your energy before going to rescue the general."

Looking back, Wang Wei saw that although the soldiers of the Iron Guards were still full of energy, they were exhausted after hundreds of miles of galloping, with chapped lips and pale complexions.

He thought for a while, then nodded.

A battalion of troops entered Qingyuan City, and the guard quickly arranged food and hot water for the soldiers to replenish their strength.

"Second son, most of the guards in Qingyuan City have been taken out by the general, and there is no way to reinforce them. Please forgive me." The guard came to Wang Wei who was eating, bowed and cupped his fists, and said apologetically.

"I know. I don't know how the frontline war is going to go. Just defend Qingyuan City. If Qingyuan City is not lost, we will have a chance to make a comeback. To defend the city is a great achievement. I don't blame you."

The guard breathed a sigh of relief, but continued on.

"There is also a battalion of soldiers and horses in the city, all of which are cavalry, and the role of defending the city is not too great. Because there are no generals to lead troops, they dare not go out of the city to rescue. Second son, why don't you take this battalion with you after your rest? Let's go out of the city together, one more person can do more."

Wang Wei agreed without hesitation.

But he suddenly thought of one thing. When he was in the scout team, he would command the soldiers of the first battalion at most. question.

He looked at Wang Luo, who had already finished his meal, and suddenly had a bold idea of ​​turning a dead horse into a living horse doctor.

"Wang Luo, you are at home, you should have read my Wang family's art of war."

Wang Luo didn't know why Wang Wei would ask such a question, but the Wang family's Art of War, that is, the military book on the table in Wang Tieshan's study, was indeed studied hard by him.

It may not be very accurate to say that, the Wang family's art of war was written by the ancestors of the Wang family, and the descendants added content to it from generation to generation, and it was passed down to the generation of the current head of the Wang family. It is already a very thick military book.

This book is the top secret of the Wang family, and only members of the Wang family can have access to it.

Back then, when he knew that Wang Luo was unable to practice martial arts, he was ready to let him develop into the defense line of the military division. Wang Tieshan handed this military book into Wang Luo's hands, and patted him on the shoulder with a serious face.

"Boy, study hard and don't embarrass your father."

That short sentence left a deep impression on the young Wang Luo at that time.

And since he was sensible, apart from various enlightenment books, the only thing that has accompanied him is this Wang Family Art of War.

In fact, this book is not mysterious. It is full of the experience of how to lead troops and dispatch generals passed down by the ancestors of the Wang family, including the changes in the formation of the battle formation, the location of the camp, the logistics arrangement, and even where the toilets in the camp should be arranged. They are all clearly written and clearly drawn.

So, is today the first day I formally lead the army?

Wang Luo nodded. The enemy was in front of him, and he didn't care about politeness. Moreover, all the generals in the three cities of Qingyuan, except for the guards left behind, were all brought to the front by Wang Tieshan. Wei and Wang Luo are two half-baked guys.

"Okay, then I will lead the Iron Guard Battalion and you will lead the cavalry in the city. How should we fight? Do you have any ideas?"

Wang Luo thought for a while, and said to Wang Wei: "The most urgent task now is to break through the blockade of the enemy's cavalry, rush to the center of the battlefield, and find out how Uncle's situation is, so later our two battalions will form a battalion. You lead the Iron Guard Battalion as the vanguard, and I lead the Qingyuan cavalry to follow behind, break through the enemy's line of defense first."

Wang Wei nodded.

At the same time, at the foot of Qilian Mountain, Wang Tieshan looked at the enemy who had completely surrounded the Rejecting North Army, and the endless Northern Barbarian cavalry on the distant horizon, his eyes were very complicated.

I don't know if the northern army soldiers in the encirclement can support the moment when the reinforcements from the Beihuangcheng base camp arrive, but no matter what, he lost the battle.

If we can keep the remaining main force and retreat back to the North City, we will be able to preserve our vitality. I am afraid that the army will not be able to last until the reinforcements arrive, and if the main force of the Rejecting North Army is completely wiped out here, the consequences will be disastrous.

The three cities of Qingyuan cannot be kept as a bridgehead, and there is no garrison in the northern city, which will cause a terrible chain reaction. The direct impact of the army.

just in case. . .If the city of Beihuang is not defended, then the great foundation that Liang Guo and the Wang family have accumulated in Beihuang after hundreds of years of planning will be lost in one day.

However, the chance of this happening is very small. Now, the capital should have sent reinforcements to support Beihuang City, right?Moreover, there were already 20 troops in the northern wilderness city, and the guards were also Liang Guobing Xian Du Yi, who was second only to him in the northern wilderness.

Shaking his head, Wang Tieshan continued to look down the mountain.

The northern barbarian army has just finished an attack, and now the two armies are seizing the opportunity to rest, because the strategy is appropriate, and the time to gather troops is earlier. According to the strength of the northern army, it has not suffered a very large loss.

And in the center of the entire army formation, there are armored cavalry who have taken off their armor and rested.

Whether this battle can successfully break through in the end depends on these armored cavalry who can be called meat grinders on the battlefield. As long as they can lead the troops to make a gap after the rest, there is still a chance to break through. Cooperating with the inside and the outside, there is even a chance to turn defeat into victory.

"Xuan Yuan, how long will it take for armored cavalry?" Wang Tieshan asked Wu Xuanyuan beside him.

Wu Xuanyuan cupped his fists and said, "General, it will take half a day."

Wang Tieshan nodded. Every time an armored cavalry charges, it takes a long time to rest before the next one. After all, it is not so easy to replenish the physical strength consumed by charging with the armor of several hundred kilograms.

Half a day is already a very limited time.
