After much deliberation, Qin Ze decided to accumulate points for another two days to exchange for a light cavalry unit.
The Black Tiger Stronghold is located in a low-lying area in the Shuangqi Mountains. The area is flat and open, making it too slow for infantry to charge and achieve a decisive victory.
On flat land, there is no more effective troop type than cavalry, but unfortunately, there are only a little over a thousand light cavalry, which is not enough.
But two days later, he had more than 700,000 points, enough to form a raiding force and quickly resolve the battle.
These two days will also allow the army to rest and recuperate, and once they are full of energy, they can take down Black Tiger Stronghold in one fell swoop!
Immediately, Qin Ze ordered the army to rest there that night.
On the other side.
In Black Tiger Village.
A bandit hurriedly reported to Wang Meng:
"Boss! Something terrible has happened! Qingfeng Village has been wiped out!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Meng was startled, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"Nonsense! How could that be!"
"Within Beichuan, where are there any troops left to destroy Qingfeng Village!"
The subordinate hurriedly said, "Boss, all of us brothers saw it. Qingfeng Village was ablaze with flames, and there were shouts of killing everywhere. The smell of burning corpses still makes me feel nauseous just thinking about it!"
"They were really wiped out!"
Wang Meng's eyes narrowed, and several thoughts instantly flashed through his mind.
After the Prince of Zhenbei took up residence in Shifeng City, Zhu Fu confidently declared that he would kill the Prince of Zhenbei, and that news would be sent out immediately after the Prince of Zhenbei was dealt with.
But after waiting for two days, there was still no news.
That's why he sent his men to find out the truth.
Now it is said that Qingfeng Village has been destroyed. It seems that Langtou Village, which has been out of contact with us, must have met with misfortune two days ago!
Otherwise, why hasn't a single piece of news come out yet? He knows Zhu Fu's character all too well.
Wang Meng became increasingly alarmed as he thought about it, and a thin layer of sweat had already seeped out from his back.
A terrible suspicion arose in his mind, and although he was unwilling to believe it, the facts before him told him that the suspicion was correct.
"Does the Prince of Zhenbei have a large army under his command?" Wang Meng murmured, his face pale.
The subordinate hurriedly replied, "Boss! Absolutely!"
"My brothers and I heard shouts of battle from afar; there must be a large army coming up the mountain!"
"We stayed there for quite a while, but we didn't see a single person from Qingfeng Village run down the mountain. They...they must have been surrounded by a large force! They were all wiped out!"
"Boss, is he planning to come to our stronghold next? How should we deal with it?"
Wang Meng was in a daze, his mind filled with doubts.
[I'll only reveal one piece of information to you: the imperial court didn't give him any troops. The Prince of Zhenbei only brought his eight hundred personal guards with him to Beiliang this time.]
Zhao Yuan's words kept echoing in Wang Hai's mind.
He had known Zhao Yuan for a long time, and it could be said that Black Tiger Village was able to develop to its current state only with Zhao Yuan's support.
He also did a lot of things for Zhao Yuan.
They robbed the people of their money and grain, handing over the lion's share to Zhao Yuan, and secretly followed Zhao Yuan's orders to rob and kill government soldiers who were at odds with them.
It's like he was Zhao Yuan's henchman, doing those shady things for him, which allowed him to smoothly rise to his current position as commander.
"Commander Zhao has no reason to spread false information to me, so why is he doing this?"
"Could it be that Qin Ze really trained the city's residents into an army in just a few days?"
Wang Meng muttered to himself.
The subordinate next to him quickly reminded him, "Boss, shouldn't we prepare a response soon?"
Wang Meng then came to his senses.
"Yes! Have the brothers keep a close watch on the outside of the stronghold these next few days! Make sure the stronghold is well-defended and ready to defend against an attack!"
"It's the boss!"
After his men left, Wang Meng paced back and forth, feeling increasingly uneasy.
After much deliberation, he summoned several of his most skilled men from the stronghold and they rushed to Beiyuan City overnight.
........
Beiyuan City.
Commander's Office.
Zhao Yuanzheng was sleeping peacefully with his concubine in his arms when he suddenly heard a knock on the door.
Awakened by the noise, Zhao Yuan was furious. No one had ever dared to wake him up at this time!
Zhao Yuan suddenly jumped out of bed, grabbed a knife, and kicked the door open.
As soon as I stepped outside, I saw Wang Meng's smirking face appear before me.
"Wang Meng! What are you doing here! What are you doing in the middle of the night!" Zhao Yuan shouted angrily.
"My lord, I have something important to report, and it is of great importance, so I had to come overnight!" Wang Meng forced an awkward smile.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yuan understood that Qin Ze must have been killed, which was why he reported it overnight.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yuan's anger subsided considerably.
"Is it about the Prince of Zhenbei?" he asked calmly.
“Exactly!” Wang Meng replied hastily.
Zhao Yuan nodded. "Okay, I understand. Well done. Go back now."
As Zhao Yuan was about to return to his room, Wang Meng hurriedly grabbed him and said urgently:
"My lord, Wolf Head Stronghold and Green Peak Stronghold have been wiped out by the Prince of Zhenbei!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Yuan raised an eyebrow, glared at Wang Meng, and said in a deep voice:
What nonsense are you talking about?
When Wang Meng saw Zhao Yuan's expression, he breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Zhao Yuan had deliberately spread false information and was secretly conspiring with Qin Ze to suppress the bandits.
Therefore, he specially brought several of his most skilled men from the stronghold with him. If they discovered that Zhao Yuanzhen had other evil intentions, they were to capture him and bring him back to the stronghold.
In retrospect, I was worrying too much.
He said in a deep voice:
"My lord, I'm telling the truth. My men personally witnessed Qingfeng Village being wiped out by the Prince of Zhenbei! There's no lie!"
