Wang Zhizhen's four thousand troops passed through three lines of defense before leaving Andong City's defenses. It was obvious that the defenses were very tight.
"Report! Lord Defender, the front line has been defeated. Our cavalry has heard that in half a day, the Green River defense line may be broken through by the Sun Nation's army! Sir, we won't be able to send reinforcements in time. What should we do?”Cavalry unit sentinel Li Canghai reported.
After sending Yuan Shikai back to the capital, this kid came back to report to Wang Zhizhen. Wang Zhizhen didn't expect that Yuan Shikai, who was still capable, wouldn't be able to keep Li Canghai's team. When they returned, Wang Zhizhen said that he had missed out on a chance to be rich and noble. He said that he still did not have the fate to be a general. He might be able to be a marshal in the future. Good heavens, now that you're back, you have nothing.
In order to make it up to him, he directly bypassed the shed chief and appointed him as the sentry chief.
"This way, the troops will be divided into two parts. The cavalry and the carts will go first, and the rest will walk to the Green River defense line. Also, don't pass by when you're only forty percent of the way, and walk around the city. Leave 100 wagons in each of the four cities and 100 guards in each city. Including the wagons, leave 200 guards in each of the four cities. The remaining wagons and troops will continue to move towards the Green River defense line to support us. I will lead the cavalry and leave first. Li Canghai, you stay behind and assist the deputy commander in commanding the troops.”After saying that, he turned to Wang Shun and said," Old Wang, when you were in the cavalry camp, you were my deputy. Now, you're also my deputy. Whether or not we brothers can survive this battle depends on this gamble! "If we're alive, we'll be able to do great things and stand out. If he died, we would be brothers and continue to be brothers.”
"Sir, take care! We still have work to do! This subordinate will definitely settle this matter swiftly. Don't worry! If anything goes wrong, bring your head to me!" Wang Shun said.
"Take care!" He rode away.
He had come out from Zhengding County with Wang Zhizhen, so he could be considered a relative. Ever since the cavalry unit entered the Bangzi Kingdom to fight, he had been following Wang Zhizhen. Now, all 386 people in the cavalry unit were Wang Zhizhen's loyal followers. Wang Zhizhen had brought them out of the Bangzi Kingdom. They had fought more than a dozen battles, big and small, and had a life-and-death friendship. Even among the soldiers who had returned from the Bangzi Kingdom, Wang Zhizhen had a lot of prestige. Of course, Nie Cheng and Ma Kun were the exceptions.
On the way, they met Ma Kun who was running away with his defeated soldiers." Why are you here, kid? The army has already scattered. Old Nie is covering the rear. You, kid, hurry up and help him retreat."”Ma Kun said.
"Yes, sir! Deputy Commander! What plans did the vice commander-in-chief have? Judging from the situation, we can't stop these scattered soldiers. Phoenix City is hard to hold. We need reinforcements. Deputy Commander, you should ask Shengtian for reinforcements! Men!"
"Yes, my lord!"
"Give your horses to the vice marshal and his guards!”
"Vice-marshal, go to Shengtian and ask for help. I'll go get Vice-marshal Nie.”
"Deputy Commander, it is impossible to defend Phoenix City with these defeated soldiers. It is also impossible to defend the other three cities. I will try my best to defend them. I hope that the Deputy Commander can personally go and ask for reinforcements. It is difficult for others to believe that the Green River defense line has fallen in just two days. Only if Marshal Fu went personally would General Shengtian send troops to rescue them! Don't say anymore, I still have to help Vice Commander Nie, let's go!”
"Alright, I'll accept your appointment as the four city defense commissioner. You'll be in charge of the four cities 'soldiers and try your best to defend them. I'll come as soon as possible!”Ma Kun rode away.
Wang Zhizhen watched as this group of people whizzed past, and then he saw a group of defeated soldiers coming towards him.
"Stop! I'm the Four City Defense Envoy, Wang Zhizhen. What are you all doing? Where is Vice Commander Nie?" Wang Zhizhen waved his hand, and the cavalry unit surrounded the fleeing soldiers.
"What are you pretending for? If it wasn't for you high-ranking officials running away first, how could we run away? What are you pretending for?" A general wearing a military uniform said.
“呯! With a gunshot, he fell to the ground. He would never believe that Wang Zhizhen had shot him.
"I won't waste my breath on you. Some of you should know me. I'm Wang Zhizhen. Who knows about Vice Commander Nie Cheng? Everyone, put down your guns and retreat to Andong City.”
"The one who beat him up was Commander Wang Zhizhen, who came back from the Bangzi Kingdom.”
"It's me!"
"I just saw that Deputy Commander Nie Cheng was surrounded by the Sun Nation's army three miles behind. There are more than a hundred of them, and the Sun Nation's army has three to four hundred people. If Commander Wang goes now, he should be able to save Deputy Commander Nie Cheng.”
"Don't go to the Four Phoenix Cities anymore. Go past Phoenix City to Anton. That's our territory.”After saying that, Wang Zhizhen did not waste any time and immediately rode his horse forward.
Nie Cheng was already surrounded. It seemed like it was only a matter of time before he was annihilated.
"Deputy Commander, the Sun Nation's army is coming up again. Brothers, each of you only has three bullets left.”Nie Cheng's personal guard captain said.
"No need, we brothers are here to serve our country. We can't even leave. Just now, there were more than 300 people, but we couldn't break out. Now, there are already 800 people. Today, we are brothers, and in the next life, we will still be brothers.”Nie Cheng said coldly.
The air was filled with despair. However, they did not know that Wang Zizhen had already arrived behind them and was currently surrounding the entire Sun Nation army.
"Charge, go, go!" A wave of battle cries rang out. Nie Cheng saw a large group of cavalrymen rushing over from the rear of the Sun Army. Nie Cheng knew that only reinforcements would come. If he didn't retaliate now, when would he? So he turned to the remaining dozens of people and said," Brothers, the reinforcements are here. Let's go out and fight with these devils. Success or failure depends on this!”
The Sun Nation's army didn't know that there was an Ancestral Dragon Kingdom's army behind them, and it was even cavalry. It was instantly thrown into chaos. Under the pincer attack of Nie Cheng and Wang Zhizhen's cavalry from both sides, they couldn't fight back in time. Today, they had been wiped out in a single charge because Wang Zhizhen had already surrounded Sun Baby's army from the back. With 3000 cavalrymen, the enemy had no chance of escaping.
"Greetings, Vice Commander-in-Chief. Wang Zhizhen's rescue was late. Please forgive me, Vice Commander-in-Chief!”Wang Zhizhen dismounted and bowed.
"Good boy, I thought I wouldn't be able to see you. This isn't the place to talk. I have to retreat quickly. There's an army of the Sun Nation chasing after us.”Nie Cheng patted Wang Zhizhen's shoulder and looked back solemnly. Three miles away, the main force of the Sun Nation had caught up.
Immediately, Wang Zhizhen mounted his horse and said to Nie Cheng," I'll go and kill them. Otherwise, if these devils attack us, it will be difficult to hold the Four Cities of Phoenix. Commander Nie, go to Phoenix City to gather the scattered soldiers first. I'll go and delay the Sun Nation's army. We have to stabilize our position. We still have a chance."”
"Good! Be careful! Come back alive!"
"As ordered! Go!" Wang Zhizhen personally led the entire cavalry unit to catch up with the Sun Nation's First Army, the First Brigade. This was Wang Zhizhen's old rival. The First Brigade was commanded by Major General Oshima. Wang Zhizhen led the cavalry unit and arrived in front of the First Brigade in a single sprint. Although they were in a chasing formation, the entire team was in a mess. There was no formation to speak of. Wang Zhizhen was also a cavalry unit. Fighting with them on the plains was a surprise attack. Infantry versus cavalry. It was obvious. They had almost wiped out the entire First Brigade. The cavalry led by Li Canghai almost killed Major General Oshima, but Oshima managed to escape under the cover of his subordinates. Shan County's General, who was leading the Sun Nation's army, stopped his pursuit when he saw this, giving Nie Cheng time to gather his scattered troops.
"Leave 1000 people to clean up the battlefield, and the remaining 2,000 people to intimidate the enemy so that they won't dare to chase after our defeated soldiers.”After Wang Zhizhen finished speaking, the cavalry left first.
