After three rounds of tea, Wang Zhizhen, who had gone out to investigate, had yet to return. Ma Kun was already anxious, while Nie Cheng calmly drank his tea. As the battle was imminent, it was not easy to drink alcohol, so he could only drink tea.
"What's wrong with this Wang Zhizhen? It had been a long time. It would take at most half an hour to go back and forth from here to Yongjiang Bridge. This guy had been gone for three hours. Why was he not back yet? If the elite scouts had gone over, they would have returned by now.”Ma Kun said.
"Don't be anxious! " Brother Ma, I specially sent him there. Only he, Commander Ye, will believe me. Wang Zhizhen used to be my subordinate. I know him very well. He has been careful since he was my orderly. He never makes any mistakes. Although he is a little slow, he is reliable."”Nie Cheng said.
Just as the two of them were talking, a figure barged in from the main door. The people standing guard next to him did not stop him. At a glance, they knew that he was one of them. This person was Wang Zhizhen. His face was painted and there were some grass leaves on his shoulders.
"This subordinate greets the two deputy commanders. I have been ordered to investigate the Yongjiang Bridge. I have already investigated the situation and have returned to report!”
"Get up and talk. Good boy, I haven't seen you for a few days and you've actually grown so strong.”Ma Kun helped Wang Zhizhen up and pulled him along.
" Deputy Commander Ma, I've already investigated the situation at the bridge. There are only 123 people, a small team from the Sun Nation's army. They are all auxiliary troops and have no combat power. As long as we send an elite team, we can kill these 100 people in one go. If we join our army in the city and attack them from both sides, we will definitely annihilate the First Exploration Team outside the city.”
" Good, well said. It seems like we can report to Commander Ye now. Minister, you will report to Commander Ye personally. Vice Commander Ma and I will support you. I hope that Commander Ye will make the right choice. This battle won't be too difficult. As long as the 1st Brigade is eliminated, there will be no more war north of Yongjiang. We will also have the initiative.”Nie Cheng said.
They came to Commander Ye's tent and the messenger came forward to report," Report! Commander, Deputy Commander Ma and Deputy Commander Nie came with a person to report that they have something important to discuss.”
Ye Zhichao was also puzzled. The meeting had just ended. Why did he come back in less than half a day? What was the matter?
"Pass it on! They came in."
"Yes, sir!"
The three of them entered the house and bowed to Ye Zhichao, explaining the situation!
Ye Zhichao knew that even though his face remained calm after they finished talking, he was furious inside. Wang Zhizhen was his personal guard commander, but he was listening to the two vice marshals. How could he, the marshal, be embarrassed? Furthermore, after he had investigated the situation, he had reported to the two vice marshals and asked him, the marshal, to leave. This was clearly against military discipline. However, he didn't think that it was Vice Commander Nie Cheng who sent Wang Zhizhen to investigate, not him, Ye Zhichao. Commander Ye gave the order to investigate, so soldiers should obey orders. He had to report to whoever asked him to investigate. This was a principle that had never changed in a thousand years. However, Ye Zhichao was completely annoyed by all the appearances. He needed to vent the anger in his heart, but he couldn't show it on his face. So he was very conflicted. It was time to make a decision, but he still had some concerns. After all, he was the commander of the 13,000 soldiers. If he felt uncomfortable, he would be doomed. As the commander, he had to take full responsibility.
"I already know about this matter. I will send someone to check on the situation. Pingqing, you just came back and go rest! The two vice marshals would immediately lead their troops and wait for orders. After they were done with the investigation, they would immediately send troops out of the city to fight. They would then hire a cavalry unit to attack Yongjiang Bridge. Then, they would turn around and attack. The two vice marshals would bring their troops out of the city and attack the First Brigade outside the city. They would pincer attack from both sides. The enemy would definitely be wiped out outside the city!”Ye Zhichao said.
The three of them immediately went to make preparations. Although they didn't immediately send troops, Nie Cheng knew that as the commander of the three armies, he had to be careful.
An hour later, the second batch of scouts came back with the same report as before. Ye Zhichao did not waste any time and immediately ordered Wang Zhizhen to send troops to attack Yongjiang Bridge. After the first attack, Ryan and Nie Cheng immediately organized their troops to support. After Wang Zhizhen eliminated the guards of Yongjiang Bridge, they heard gunshots and immediately left the city to attack the First Brigade outside the city.
Wang Zhizhen led all 5,000 cavalrymen and split them into two groups. From the east gate and west gate, they went around to the south gate and wanted to ambush the Yongjiang Bridge. When Wang Zhizhen reached the Yongjiang Bridge, the guards had increased to more than 300 people and were already prepared to resist. Wang Zhizhen did not expect this, but the arrow was already on the bow and had no choice but to shoot. Wang Zhizhen had no choice but to urge his horse forward and personally charge towards the Yongjiang Bridge. At this moment, the other side had also arrived. Both sides would be together, and 5000 soldiers would launch a surprise attack on the Yongjiang Bridge.
The enemy raised two heavy machine guns on the bridge and fired at Wang Zhizhen. The current heavy machine gun only had 80 bullets per minute, but it also caused a large number of casualties to Wang Zhizhen's troops. After all, they were cavalry, and the target was large. Moreover, there were thousands of people charging forward. As long as they fell off their horses, they would die. Therefore, Wang Zhizhen did not give the order to retreat. He directly rushed to the Yongjiang Bridge and started fighting. After half an hour of fighting, although he had killed more than 300 people from the Sun Nation, However, they had already lost more than 800 people and another 300 were injured. It was a tragic victory, but they had also taken over the Yongjiang Bridge. Wang Zhizhen ordered the bridge to be blown up, leaving no guards behind. Everyone rode back to face the First Brigade.
When Wang Zhizhen led his troops to attack the enemy exploration teams, gunshots rang out in unison at the 1st exploration team's position. Wang Zhizhen knew that the enemy had already prepared a comprehensive defense. They already knew that our troops were attacking Yongjiang Bridge and were also covering the rear. They wanted to use 300 people to block and surprise the Yongjiang troops. Then, they would build a good position and exhaust the troops that attacked from the city. Wang Zhizhen then ordered a small team to enter the city to report that the enemy had already known about our surprise attack. We took down the Yongjiang Bridge and destroyed it. The enemy had already become a turtle in the middle. The plan to annihilate the First Exploration Team had to be carried out slowly and put on hold. They could not blindly attack and cause unnecessary casualties. They also sent another team to report back to the two vice marshals and told them to retreat and not attack the First Exploration Team again. The First Exploration Team's position was already well defended, and there was no place for them to attack. They could no longer take advantage of the situation.
