Ivan was naturally very angry that Wu Sheng withdrew without fighting. What made him even more angry was such a broken city with nothing. The general of the golden tent Khanate even occupied it. In a rage, he ordered people to burn down the houses in Xinxia City, push down the wall, and let people leave a book on a broken wall, which was written with the words wusheng is a coward.
Ivan left angrily, leaving some of the leader generals of the golden tent Khanate crying and laughing. Such a deserted city really has nothing to love, so he had to lead the troops back and return to life.
When Xinxia City regained its silence and desolation, the scouts sent by wusheng rushed back here. When they saw the destruction of the city until this time, they were naturally very angry. Especially when they saw the six big characters left on the broken wall, they turned around and left. They wanted to tell the commander what happened here and ask the commander to make a decision.
In the mountains and forests not far away, Wu Sheng saw the scout who came back to report and knew what happened in Xinxia city. His eyes were red with blood, and he was very angry. The destruction of the city is equal to the destruction of his efforts for many years. Once the other party dares to scold his cowards, do you really think there is no way to take them?
"Assemble the whole army, target TOV City, set out!" Wu Sheng decided to pay him back in his own way. At present, although his strength does not have the ability to attack strong cities and big cities, he still has no problem cleaning up some small cities in the Principality of Ross. As long as the speed is fast enough and the exit is timely, there must be no problem in safety.
The commander made a decision. Although the following division commanders thought it was a little hasty, after all, there was no military plan before. But when everyone learned that Xinxia city had been completely destroyed, they all held their breath. When no one advised the commander, they decided to take revenge.
TOV City, the size of a county, is a small town in the northernmost part of the Principality of Ross. There are only 1000 troops stationed here, and the number of people is only about 20000.
A small town like this needs resources, no resources, no wealth, and few people can see it. So when Wu Sheng appeared outside the city with more than 30000 cavalry and entered the city without any effort, the people here ran and fled. If he didn't run away, he simply closed the door and hid at home.
Only a few people were injured, or under the firegun of Ross state, they occupied TOV City, which made Wu Sheng and others less angry. Then, seeing that it was late, he decided to rest here for a night, grab the food in the city library and leave early tomorrow morning.
It was only one night, and there was no plan before this action. It must be that Ross could not know his purpose. Wu Sheng, who was very confident in this, found a larger courtyard and went to sleep. Until the middle of the night, there was a quarrel with the sound of horse hoofs running. Zhu Zhen, the head of the guard, just pushed the door and entered. He said in a panic, "junzuo, things are bad. There are a lot of people outside the city. They surrounded us."
"Is there such a thing?" at the same time, Wu Sheng put on his armor and hurried to the city tower.
On the tower, several teachers were standing here. Everyone looked solemn. It was obvious that they had realized the bad situation. After Wu Sheng boarded the city tower, all he saw were torches, and the number of enemies gave people a sense of incalculability.
"Junzuo, it's too dark to see how many enemies are coming, and I don't know which direction to rush. What to do?" the third division commander Chunyang strode over and asked for instructions.
Wusheng is not a God. If others can't see clearly, he can't see clearly. But as a commander, he still has the calmness he should have. "Don't panic. The soldiers will block us and the water will cover us. Even if the other party surrounds us, we can't figure out whether there is an ambush outside. We simply won't go. We'll just stay here and wait for reinforcements to rescue us. Bad things can turn into good things."
He said so confidently, but he really frightened several other teachers. They waited for the commander to decide which direction to break through, but they didn't expect to stick to the city next.
Seeing that everyone's faces were not good-looking, Wu Sheng said confidently, "what? Have you forgotten? The sixth young master will come soon. As long as we spread the news here, the reinforcements will arrive soon. We are not children without families and duckweeds without roots."
"Yes, yes." Chunyang nodded again and again.
"Then we'll defend the city. There's still a lot of food in the city. We can stick to it for a period of time. When the sixth young master comes, it's time for us to take revenge." Mr. Ye Dai also looked excited and excited.
As senior officers who joined the five-star army in the early stage, they all regarded Yang Chendong as a God. It seems that as long as the sixth young master comes, nothing can't be solved.
The two teachers expressed their attitude, and the other three teachers couldn't say anything. Although they don't know why everyone has such confidence, the discipline of the five-star army is strict. The commander of the five-star army orders that everyone must implement, or they will face the military law of beheading.
Seeing that everyone agreed, Wu Sheng said, "that's right. Let's arrange someone to deliver the letter. The matter here should be reported to the sixth young master as soon as possible. Well, where can Liu take the Deputy teacher?"
"Subordinates are here." Liu Dai, deputy division commander of Nvzhen cavalry division, stepped forward.
"The sixth young master knows you. You can go out and report this time. Don't worry, you only take a few people out. They will only regard you as a suspicious soldier and won't chase you. Remember, we can't rest for a moment until we find the main force. All the hopes of our third army rest on you." Wu Sheng came up and patted Liu Dai on the shoulder, Said with a serious face.
"Yes." Liu Dai felt the pressure, raised his arm and repeated a military salute. "Please rest assured, junzuo. Even if I'm tired, I won't rest until I find the main force."
Liu took it away, but he went out of the city with less than 100 horses. Sure enough, as Wu Sheng said, the enemy soldiers outside just intercepted it like a sign, and then let them leave. Taking advantage of the enemy's torch, Wu Sheng was relieved to see Liu Dai and others rush out of the encirclement. Then he confidently said to everyone: "leave a small number of people to guard the city at night, and others go back to bed. Don't worry, it's so dark that we can't rush out, and the opponent won't rush in."
Mount Tai collapsed in front without changing his face. This is the wind of a great general. Wu Sheng did this.
In fact, his heart is not as calm as it seems. He doesn't know where Yang Chendong went with the main force, nor whether Liu Dai can find them. But as the commander of the army and the chief General of the army, he must cheer everyone up at the moment.
Outside TOV, Ivan was staring at the gate with 70000 White Russian troops. They were waiting for wusheng to escape. Their muskets have been loaded with solid bullets, their horses have been saddled, and their soldiers are ready to support attacks everywhere at any time.
Ivan did these things to burn down Xinxia city and leave words. In addition to not wanting to leave an empty city for the troops of the golden tent khanate, he was preparing to lure Wu Sheng.
Before, he had a good relationship with Wu Sheng and knew him well. He knew that such a hot-blooded man was the most invincible. So after he left Xinxia City, he sent a large number of scouts to keep an eye on these small cities. He felt that wusheng would not let it go.
Sure enough, just as he had just joined the 50000 reinforcements sent by the principality, he was reported by the scouts that he saw the figure of the Third Army outside TOV city. Then he hurried to bring the army and blocked it.
Ivan was satisfied with himself, but he was not careless. After all, it was night. The other party couldn't see him, and he couldn't see the other party, so he ordered as soon as he went up. Unless he had his own order, he didn't attack rashly. He had to wait for the main force of the new three armies to come out of the city.
It was because of this order that Liu Dai and Bai Qi were not embarrassed too much when they left. But after a long time, there was no movement in the city. This time, Sergei, the leader general, also showed a suspicious look on his face, "young master, could it be the wusheng who escaped just now?"
"No." without any hesitation, Ivan said with great certainty, "Wu Sheng is a man with strong self-esteem. He can't do such a thing to escape."
It was because he had been a friend that he dared to say so confidently. Although he doesn't know what Wu Sheng thinks in his heart, he is confident that this time there will be a bloody battle between them. Next, it depends on whose means are more powerful.
One night passed like this. Compared with the five-star army sleeping well, the White Russian army outside the city was much worse. Beware of the people in the city running away at any time, but they don't sleep much. So that after dawn, the White Russian army did not have the energy to launch an attack immediately.
At dawn, Wu Sheng, who climbed the tower, also saw the reality of the White Russian army. After seeing that the other party had 70000 troops, including 30000 cavalry and 20000 Musketeers, he couldn't help but rejoice that he didn't attack rashly last night. Otherwise, as soon as the Musketeers rang in the dark, he didn't know how much he would lose.
Seeing the reality of his opponent, Wu Sheng knew it was a hard battle. He now put all his hopes on Liu Dai who went out to report. As for himself, what he has to do now is one thing, that is to ask.
For example, the White Russian army did not attack the city immediately, which of course he wanted to happen. He ordered the soldiers to guard the city. There was no need to stimulate their opponents. Then he went to check the City Treasury. He had to make careful calculations to see how long the food in the city could be eaten and how long he could persist; See how much oil, sleepers, bows and arrows there are in the city to defend the city. If things were incomplete, he would have to tear down the houses in the city for emergency.
