The Three Kingdoms

These bonfires reflected the entire camp. Next to each bonfire, soldiers were resting back to back. Under the silence, the footsteps of the patrolling soldiers and the neighing of war horses from time to time appeared extremely bright.

On the tower of Yuanmen, there are two battle flags flying, one is the symbol of Soochow, the golden dragon battle flag, and the other is the battle flag of the Bashu Legion, and the battle flag reads: Bashu Legion Tenth Army No.

This is the cavalry of the Wu army after the encounter in Yerengou.

"Meng Da, what are our casualties?"

The teacher Gao Pei sat in front of a bonfire. He just took off his helmet, but did not take off his armor. He looked at the fierce flames of the bonfire and asked through gritted teeth.

This encounter confused him.

The fight started out of nowhere, and ended out of nowhere. Although the battle situation had the upper hand, the soldiers started fighting suddenly without preparation, and the casualties were not small.

"Teacher, we lost a lot in this battle. Our casualties were almost two thousand. The casualties of the first main force and the third main force were not big, but the second main force almost lost its vitality!"

Chief of Staff Meng Da was sitting next to him, his arm was covered with white gauze, and his arm was stained with blood. He was also shot by an arrow during the battle in Yerengou yesterday and injured his left hand.

"It's a bad start!"

Hearing this, Gao Pei picked up a piece of firewood and threw it into the bonfire. Looking at the crackling branches, he couldn't help but said bitterly.

With this encounter, the task of surprise attacking Biancheng had completely failed.

"Master, what shall we do next?"

Meng Da looked up, looked away from the bonfire, looked at Gao Pei's face, and asked in a low voice: "The task of surprise attacking Xiabian must not be completed, and this place is too close to Xiabian, Wei Jun may attack Send troops to destroy us, why don't we lead our troops back to Baima Pass, gather the main force and then look at the commander's plan!"

"We can't lead our troops back to Baima Pass at this time!"

Gao Pei heard this, but shook his head: "If the Wei army encircled and suppressed us, they would definitely bite us to death. If this battle must be fought, the battlefield can only be fought in Wudu, and absolutely not in Hanzhong and Bashu, otherwise you and I They have to be invited by Han Yanwang of the Military Judiciary Department to have a heart-to-heart talk!"

There has always been an unwritten rule for Wu Jun soldiers to fight wars. The battlefield can only be placed in the enemy's territory and cannot be dragged into their own place.

"So, we can only entangle with them in Wudu?"

Meng Da understood: "But our current strength is a little too small!"

"The commander should know our current situation, and our reinforcements should arrive soon!" Gao Pei thought for a while, and said, "It is impossible for the commander to let only one of our divisions face the main force of the Wei army. We must trust the commander!"

"Master, I don't think so. The reason why the commander asked us to postpone the attack for two days is probably because he has a problem with the deployment of troops and needs time to buffer!" Meng Da said: "Even if he knows the current situation, it may not be There are troops to relieve our pressure!"

"Then we must persevere!"

Gao Pei said decisively: "We are cavalry, even if we can't win, can't we still outrun them?"

"Da da da!!!!!"

At this time, a messenger cavalry came in a hurry outside the camp, and the loud sound of horseshoes woke up the soldiers in the camp.

"Master, the messenger here calls himself Baimaguan, and he is here to convey the commander's order!"

Soon, a battalion commander on duty above the gate reported.

Gao Pei's eyes lit up, and he said quickly, "Let him in!"

"Yes!"

After a while, the messenger cavalry from Baima Pass was brought into the campfire in the middle of the camp.

"Liao Hua, the company commander of the last general's headquarters directly under the guard battalion, see Commander Gao Pei of the No. 30 Seventh Division!"

The young man carried a cylinder for storing blueprints on his body, walked in with big strides, and then bowed his head to his teacher Gao Pei in salute.

"Is there a military order from the commander?" Gao Pei asked directly.

"Yes, this is the military order conveyed by the commander to the division commander, please take a look at it!" The young man quickly took the cylinder behind him, and then handed it up respectfully.

Chief of Staff Meng Da came up and opened the cylinder himself. There was a letter inside, with the tiger seal of the headquarters on it, and a marked marching map. He verified it carefully, and then said to Gao Pei: "Master, the Tiger Talisman verification is correct, this is definitely a military order personally issued by the headquarters!"

"Liao Hua, is this a military order issued by the commander himself?"

Gao Pei read the letter, looking at a marked position on the marching map, and couldn't help frowning.

"Yes!" Liao Hua nodded.

"Golden Moon Beach?"

Meng Da also leaned over, looked at the deployment above, and said very puzzled: "According to the marching plan, we are about forty miles away from here, but this place is already biased towards Hanzhong. We will not attack, hold fast, or withdraw to the white horse." Guan, but withdrawing troops here, is it good for us?"

"Master Gao, Chief of Staff Meng, this is not only a military order issued by the commander himself, but also a suggestion from Governor Zhuge. The commander has an order, so you must act according to the military order!"

Liao Hua looked at Gao Pei and Meng Da's hesitant expressions, and couldn't help but add something.

"Overlord Zhuge?"

Gao Pei heard that there was only one surnamed Zhuge in Bashu in his heart, and he was a little puzzled: "Is it Zhugejin, the governor of Bashu? He is still a subordinate of the cabinet, why is he in charge of our military deployment!"

"It's not Governor Zhuge!"

Liao Hua hurriedly said: "It's the Minister of the Staff Department of the Military Aircraft Department, the military governor personally sent by the imperial court to supervise this battle, Zhuge Liang!"

"Military Master Zhuge?"

Hearing this, Gao Pei's tall body suddenly stood up, with a look of joy in his eyes: "Is the warlord you are talking about Mr. Zhuge Kongming?"

"En!" Liao Hua nodded.

"Hahaha, okay, Mr. Kong Ming is finally back!"

Gao Pei was overjoyed. He turned around and immediately said to Meng Da: "Chief of Staff Meng, you should prepare immediately. As soon as the sun breaks, we will break out of the camp and move closer to Jinyuetan!"

He couldn't figure out the reason for this, if Zhuge Liang had plotted it himself, he would have a little more confidence in his heart.

It's pure trust.

At the beginning, he was Zhuge Liang's battle gun. After Liu Bei's death in battle, he was the elite cavalry used to establish the situation in Chengdu. Zhuge Liang trusted him so much, naturally because he trusted Zhuge Liang even more.

"Yes!"

Meng Da was no stranger to Zhuge Liang, he also admired this fierce man who turned his hands into clouds and rained his hands that night when the sky changed in Chengdu, and he nodded his head quickly.

"Liao Hua, you go back and report to me, just say that I, Gao Pei, must promise to obey the military order!"

"Yes!"

The young man turned on his back and headed back towards the white horse pass without stopping.
