Riding and cutting the imperial pirates of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 455 Tiger Roar
Although it was still dark at this time, the sky was getting closer to the light.

As the mountain wind blows, the pine waves roar like a continuous roar. Seeing the orange glow rolling in the sky in the east, like the surging sea waves, Wang Zheng is in a daze, and suddenly there is an inexplicable feeling in his heart.

Even though it has been more than two years since the time travel, the material is not abundant, but the life is full enough, but even so, occasionally some weird ideas will come to Wang Zheng's mind.

Now that the power is in hand, gold and iron horses, commanding the three armies, dare not refuse, is it just a dream?
The world is a big dream, the time is like a blade, the time travel of my own family and the appearance of the system are so inexplicable, so will something inexplicable appear again one day, completely cut off the present dream, and let myself return to the world? In that vulgar and ordinary reality.

Or even if it wasn't a dream, or if I really captured the world and completed the heroic words when I started the incident that day, in the eternal vastness of heaven and earth, in the long time and occasion, it is at best a ridiculous lie, right?
Another gust of hot wind blew, and Wang Zheng couldn't help but loosen the armor on his body a little bit to let some air in. In this midsummer season, wearing heavy armor and rushing on the road, even if it was day and night, it was actually quite a piece of clothing. for hard work.

From Wang Zheng's point of view, armor is actually not that important. After all, the fifth-level iron bone talent can actually play a sufficient protective role, but he still remembers a sentence said by the old leader in the previous life, as a For superiors, the most important thing is to manage well, and sometimes only two things are enough, one is to clearly distinguish rewards and punishments, and the other is to lead by example.

The latter is sometimes even more important than the former, and far more difficult than the former.

Because in most cases, when you need to lead by example, it is actually not a good job, but it is precisely when you are suffering and suffering that it is even more valuable for a superior to set an example.

Everyone, especially your subordinates, is equally aware of this.

Just as he was thinking wildly like this, suddenly there was a noise in front of the team, Wang Zheng immediately looked up, Wang Xiong even jumped up when he heard the sound, and shouted: "What happened?"

Wang Zheng listened carefully for a while, and found that there was no sound of a large group of people around him. He was relieved for a while, thought for a while, and then ordered: "Wang Xiong, go and have a look."

"Here!"

Not long after, Wang Xiong brought a Dubo over. The Dubo saluted first, and immediately explained: "General, there are some refugees who suddenly appeared in front of us and wanted to beg for some food from us."

Refugees?

Wang Zheng's expression changed, he looked at Na Dubo and asked: "How many people are there, but I asked the origin."

"There are only a dozen people." Uncle Na Du said, "It is said that they came from Wancheng."

"Oh?" Wang Zhenglue nodded after thinking about it, "Since that's the case, I'll bring them here after they are full. I have something to ask."

The predecessor of the Heavenly Army was originally a peasant uprising army. Wang Zheng and the current generals of Qingzhou who were directly descended from Qingzhou were basically refugees. In addition, he, General Tiangong, has taught by example over the years, so the team's attitude towards refugees is naturally gentle and friendly. In several thousand-mile raids, many civilians they met on the way to keep their whereabouts secret were detained, but they were never treated harshly, so Wang Zheng also knew that the Dubo must have arranged food for them.

Not long after, the Dubo went back and forth, but this time he brought three men in ragged clothes, who were gobbling food as they walked. When he approached, Wang Zheng said softly: "These are from Wancheng." people?"

There were three people, one old and two young, the older one was a man in his forties, the younger ones were men and women, the girl was about eighteen or nineteen years old, and the boy was only fifteen or sixteen years old, probably a family of three.Hearing Wang Zheng's words, the three of them looked over together, and were startled for a while, as if they were extremely surprised at Wang Zheng's youth.

However, under Du Bo's reprimand, when he knew that the boy in front of him was indeed a general, he quickly knelt on the ground together, and the man said: "General, we are refugees who escaped from Wancheng, this is my son. Daughter, we haven't eaten for three days, thank you General for your mercy."

Hearing this, Wang Zheng went around and looked at the three of them carefully. The middle-aged man had an ordinary face. Although the young man kowtowed to the ground, he was still devouring food. Only the young girl looked a little strange. He is upright, with a calm expression, a pair of big eyes looking forward, looking very energetic, and at this time he is secretly looking at the soldiers around him with curiosity.

In the same way, the soldiers of the Tianzhu camp who are guarding Wang Zheng now are actually watching her secretly at the same time, because the clothes on the three of them are already in tatters, and a piece of white skin is exposed on the girl's shoulder. .

good looks
When Wang Zheng noticed this scene, Wang Zheng took another deep look at the girl, and secretly commented that although she was far inferior to the Mi Zhen and Bu Wan'er he had seen before, she was definitely a beauty in a county. If it was a peaceful time, it would be no problem to marry a good man, but in today's troubled times...
The best ending, I'm afraid it's just to go to some big family's mansion and be a beautiful maid, right?
Thinking of this, Wang Zheng sighed secretly, and said to Uncle Nadu: "Go and get some clothes, and some dry food."

Na Dubo took three pieces of clothes, and there were only some casual clothes in the army. Wang Zheng went up to them and handed them the things, and said softly, "I'm really sorry, this time our army is traveling lightly, and we don't have much luggage. There are too many of you."

"However, this place is not far from Hefei. You should save some food, and you should be able to persist there."

The man originally showed joy when he took the things, but he was startled when he heard Wang Zheng's "sorry", and then for some reason, tears flowed from his eyes, he kowtowed and said, "Thank you, General, thank you, General .”

Wang Zheng waved his hand and said, "You guys can rest here today."

Hearing this, the man shook his head again and again: "General, you have military affairs, we don't dare to disturb you, it's lucky to be able to ask for something to eat, Ah Niu, Ah Hua, come and kowtow to the general."

The man thankfully led the two teenagers away. Wang Zheng looked at their backs, his eyes flickered, as if he was thinking about something, when Wang Xiong's voice suddenly sounded next to his ear: "General, There's something wrong with these three."

"Oh?" Wang Zheng looked sideways after hearing the words: "Did you see it?"

Wang Xiong was taken aback immediately, he clearly saw what the general said, so why did he let them go?

Although he was puzzled, he still replied first: "General, that man has calluses on the pads of his right index finger and thumb, which are caused by often drawing a bow."

"The girl's clothes are shabby. It stands to reason that the first thing he did after he took the clothes was to put them on her, but he didn't. And the clothes are so shabby, it should be very dirty, especially in the weather now, it's June day , How poisonous is the sun? Even a few days is enough to burn a person, "

"But their exposed skin has no traces of sun exposure, so I think the ragged clothes may have been temporarily changed."

"That's right." Wang Zheng nodded appreciatively: "The key is that the biggest problem of these three people is that they pretend to be refugees in front of our heavenly army. They obviously don't know what a real refugee looks like!"

"No matter how hungry the refugees are, they are hungry, and when facing a so-called general, the boy shouldn't just be eating, and the girl shouldn't be so calm."

"Then you, general." Wang Xiong opened his mouth wide and couldn't speak, he hesitated to speak.

"Whether it's true or not, it's always a fact that they were hungry for a few days." Wang Zheng said, "And the pair of "sons and daughters" may not be refugees, but the man should be of the same background as us, let them go for now. "

"Let's talk about it again," Wang Zheng said with a sneer, "If you really have bad intentions, wouldn't it be a shock to take down these three people at this time?"

Speaking of this, Wang Zheng looked around and said in a deep voice: "Brothers, step up your guard, don't be careless, pass on my general order, send out sentry horses to explore the first fifteen miles, collect terrain, especially places that may be ambushed by the enemy, Mark the returns one by one."

"Here!"

Nothing unusual happened that night, which made Wang Zheng feel a little relaxed. He felt that the identities of the three people might be suspicious, but it was more likely that the big nobles in Wancheng habitually concealed their identities when they fled, not the enemy's spies. But just in case, still dare not be careless, let the whole army be more careful.

After another day's journey, the sentry in front reported that there was a vast dense forest called Tiger Roar. If there was an enemy laying an ambush, the possibility of this place was very high.

Not to enter the forest is an ancient motto of military strategists. Wang Zheng naturally knows it, but the ancient Chinese dense forest and modern times are not the same concept at all. The Tiger Roaring Forest has a radius of two hundred miles. time of day.

In view of this, seeing that the sky was getting brighter, Wang Zheng thought about it for a while, and then ordered the whole army to stop first, rest for a few hours, and set off at ten o'clock at dawn when the daylight was clear, and walked through the Tiger Roaring Forest in one go.

When entering the Tiger Roaring Forest, Wang Xiong and Wang Zheng walked side by side, looking around while walking, the trees among them were towering, the weeds were spreading, and the wind and tigers roared like ghosts crying at night. Said: "General, this place is really weird. It's obviously very hot, but when you come in, you feel very gloomy. How can you get the name Huxiao?"

"It should be called ghosts crying, wolves howling or something."

"It's the dark energy that makes the tiger roar." Wang Zheng smiled when he heard the words: "In our fairy tales, the tiger is the king of the tiger, the wind follows the tiger, and it also has the ability to drive away ghosts. It will directly become a ghost, specially leading the way for the tiger to eat others."

But when Wang Xiong heard this, he was stunned and said: "People who are eaten by tigers will become ghosts? General, I have never heard of such a saying."

This time, Wang Zheng was stunned. Could it be that the allusion of being a tiger's minion hadn't come out in the Han Dynasty?Wang Xiong and him were both from Zhao County, so they couldn't be fooled by saying that it was a local legend from his hometown, so they had to fight and said casually: "This is what I heard from some great sages in Xuzhou before."

"By the way, the Roaring Tiger Forest is too wide, and it is not easy for our heavenly army to pass through it in one day. Let all the troops be careful, and the former army should pay attention to exploring the road to prevent them from digging pits on the road."

"Here!"

A soldier patted his horse forward and shouted loudly: "Chen Xiang, watch carefully from the front."

Chen Xiang was the Du Bo who was in charge, and he was also from Zhao County. He was a veteran of the third branch of the Heavenly Army.

As soon as the words were finished, there was a sudden sound of gongs from the west side.This burst of gongs came so suddenly that even Wang Zheng's ears were "buzzed" by the shock, and the horse was startled by the sudden sound. Fortunately, Wang Zheng's riding skills were level three, and he recovered with just a slight reining of the rope. After being quiet, he immediately shouted: "The whole army dismounts and prepares for the battle, guarding against the east!"

The enemy really dare to lay an ambush?
Speaking of which, this was the third time that Sun Cejun had set up an ambush to attack, but this time, no matter whether it was Wang Zheng or the Tianjun, they were only shocked and not panicked!
Because this time they are not on rough and unfamiliar water!
It was true that the horses could not gallop in the mountains and forests, and the greatest advantage of the cavalry was naturally lost. Wang Zheng even guessed the reason why the enemy used the gong first. When launching an attack, such as shooting arrows is a good choice.

The trees on both sides are towering, and although a lot of leaves have fallen, they are still very luxuriant. If someone hides in the trees, they will not be able to see them.

It's just that almost all the cavalry on his route are above the second rank. Although there is no troop type panel, and the cavalry level of the iron cavalry and light cavalry cannot be seen, they can be guessed with their toes.Their control of horses is definitely better than other contemporary cavalry, and the formation chaos caused by the enemy's attempt is basically impossible to achieve.

Moreover, the advantage of cavalry cannot be used in the dense forest, but the enemy also cannot use cavalry, so is it an infantry battle?
It doesn't matter, as long as you keep your feet on the ground, no matter what style of play, Wang Zheng and his subordinates have full confidence, and they are not afraid of any enemies.

Sure enough, although the internal panic of the Heavenly Army had occurred, it only lasted for a moment before returning to calm. Following Wang Zheng's lead, he got off his horse and pulled the horses to the side of the cart. Not long after, everyone got off their horses one after another and began to form a formation.

At this time, another shower of arrows was shot from the east, but the Heavenly Army was already prepared. Most of the arrows were blocked by the shield soldiers in the front row, and a few of them fell into the formation and were shot down by the Heavenly Army. Holding up his weapon to shoot down, Wang Zheng pulled an arrow at the horse with his gun and stared at the east, trying to see how many people the enemy had ambushed.

At this time, there was another sound of gongs from the west side of the road, and the arrows flying down suddenly thinned out. Wang Zheng was startled for a while, but when he heard the sudden sound of footsteps in the distance, his eyes turned cold, and he understood.

There was a lot of thunder and little rain, it was because the sudden attack had no effect, so they wanted to escape!
It's just that it doesn't seem like Sun Cejun's style to run away without showing his face?
At this time, Wang Xiong also discovered this, and immediately ran to ask for orders: "General, the enemy dares to offend our army's prestige, how can we let any of them go, I am willing to take the heads of these thieves!"

Wang Zheng looked around, thanks to the fact that there was already a place, and coupled with the superior quality of the Heavenly Army, the enemy's first sneak attack did not disrupt the formation, so the casualties caused were very slight. Few people were injured, and even one person was killed in battle. None, so he nodded: "Okay, you go to the Tianzhu camp and order 300 people. I will go with you. It is best for the general to be captured alive, and take the opportunity to find out the situation ahead."

capture?

Wang Xiong touched his head when he heard the words, and said hesitantly: "The general can capture the enemy alive, but Zhou Tai hasn't said anything so far. It may not be useful if we capture another person. It's better for me to kill them all."

But I feel that Wang Zheng may not be able to fulfill his wish.

Hearing this, Wang Zheng smiled and shook his head, "That's not necessarily the case. Since ancient times, there have always been a few tough people!"

"And Ben will be very curious now"

He stared at the front, his eyes flickering: "Who is this group of people?"

Whether it's the group of refugees who met before, or the offensive they are facing today, in Wang Zheng's view, they are all very different from Sun Cejun's previous style.

But apart from Sun Ce in Yangzhou, who else would attack him at present?
