"General Wang Ben comes from a prestigious family and has inherited the true skills of General Wang Jian. His military formations and tactics are well-organized and orderly, which is truly a pleasure to watch!"
The wicked man glanced at the two of them, first uttering a word of praise, then said earnestly, "You can't stay cooped up in the Black Dragon Armor Army forever, can you?"
Upon hearing this, the two immediately fell silent.
Zhang Han and the other two were entrusted with important tasks. Did they really have no feelings about it?
You have to understand, they and the wicked man were childhood friends from the same hometown, brothers who had come through bloodshed and turmoil together. It would be a lie to say they didn't envy Zhang Han and those who got on the train later.
Unfortunately, they were well aware of their own shortcomings and felt inferior because of them.
They lacked the family background and formal education of Meng Tian and his brother, and they didn't possess Zhang Han's extraordinary talent. Born into humble rural backgrounds, they wouldn't be where they are today if it weren't for the patronage of their wicked husbands.
In the end, inferiority complex has evolved into simply giving up.
They have already gotten used to their current lives and routines.
"Big brother...we..." Both of them looked bewildered and complicated.
The wicked man raised his hand and said coldly, "With me around, you have far more opportunities than countless others, yet you haven't made any progress at all. I'm truly disappointed in you."
It is now rumored that the Black Dragon Armored Army is the private army of a wicked man, who treats his beloved daughter with utmost care and always takes her with him when something happens.
Little did he know that he was giving his brothers a chance, allowing them more opportunities to hone their skills!
In the eyes of the evil man, ability can be honed, but true understanding and confidence are the most precious things. If his two brothers can enter and leave the court in the future, his pressure will be greatly reduced.
"Big brother, we know we were wrong..."
These heartfelt words made the two of them look ashamed. They were very annoyed that they hadn't thought of their husband's good intentions earlier.
"Read more and learn more, so that you can apply what you've learned."
The wicked man raised his hand and patted each of them on the shoulder, encouraging them, "You are my brothers, but these ten thousand Qin soldiers are also my brothers."
"I cannot let their lives be lost because of your shortcomings."
Chun Ning and Er Niu nodded repeatedly, their attitudes changing, and said loudly, "We two humble generals will obey the commander's orders and learn as much as possible."
Seeing the two of them like this, the wicked man finally revealed a satisfied smile and led the Black Dragon Armored Army into the city.
That night.
"Hahaha, General, that was exhilarating!"
The city of Anyi was brightly lit and bustling with activity. The soldiers ate and drank to their hearts' content, and the lively noise could be heard far and wide.
Li Xin was slightly tipsy, his face full of smug satisfaction.
Today, the Qin army easily breached the city, capturing Anyi, the former capital of Wei, with fewer than a thousand casualties, which made him arrogant again.
"The six states are nothing but this; my Qin state will surely unify them! Let's do it!"
Li Xin stood up and raised his wine cup, and the lieutenants sitting on his left and right also hurriedly stood up to echo him.
The only middle-aged man sitting at the end of the table had a solemn expression. While everyone else was eating and drinking, he quietly left his seat.
"Go immediately to South Korea and inform the commander-in-chief of what happened in Anyi City."
In a corner of the city, a middle-aged man was giving his personal guards a long list of instructions.
The six guards did not hesitate for a moment, and quickly mounted their horses and galloped away.
Ironically, the Qin soldiers guarding the gates of Anyi were busy eating meat without even asking a question.
"You've become too proud of yourself! You've really become too proud of yourself!" The man's eyes were stern, and he was furious.
With such a defense, if Wei reinforcements were to arrive at this moment, they would surely catch the Qin army off guard. Even if they could barely repel the enemy, they would likely suffer countless casualties.
The man emerged from the shadows, shook his head, and sighed as he returned to the brightly lit city center, the flickering firelight illuminating his face.
It turns out that this man was none other than Tie Niu, the wicked husband's superior when he first joined the army!
Thanks to his wicked husband, he has now achieved a three-level promotion and become a captain in the Lantian camp.
Anyi City is only a hundred miles away from Wei City, where the wicked man is located. Several guards rode their horses at full speed and finally arrived at dawn.
"Report—!!"
The piercing shouts shattered the quiet atmosphere in the city.
In stark contrast to Anyi City, Weicheng was constantly patrolled by squads of soldiers, almost as if it weren't quite a massive, all-encompassing network.
Inside the house where the wicked husband was temporarily staying.
"presumptuous!"
"Li Xin, how dare you!"
"You really took my words as a joke?!"
Upon hearing of Li Xin's actions in Anyi City, the wicked man flew into a rage, shouting curses incessantly.
"Speak, who sent you?" the wicked man stared at the group of people in front of him.
"We are the personal guards of Captain Tie Niu. We have been ordered by the captain to come and inform our commander." The men did not dare to hesitate and quickly informed him.
"tractor?!"
The wicked man's eyes suddenly lit up as scenes from the past flashed through his mind. He hadn't seen Tie Niu for a long time since they parted ways, and now he had actually risen to the rank of captain.
"Someone come here!"
Two guards immediately entered the room, cupped their hands, and asked, "General, what are your orders?"
"Quickly summon the Black Dragon Armored Army and come with me to Anyi."
"Also, send someone to inform General Wang Ben that we should proceed according to the previously established plan."
A moment later, Erniu and Chun Ning strode over and announced loudly, "General, the Black Dragon Armored Army has assembled."
"Walk!"
The wicked man got up and left, beckoning to the few Iron Bull guards in front of him, "Lead the way!"
Anyi City.
Three poles in the sun.
At this moment, Li Xin, who had indulged in a night of revelry, slowly sat up from the couch, shook his head which ached from the hangover, and reminisced about the previous night's indulgence, and suddenly felt a little restless.
"This is what military campaigning is all about! It's exhilarating!"
Li Xin grinned, climbed off the bed where the jade-like body lay horizontally, and pushed open the door and went out wearing only his inner robe.
"Are the soldiers all awake?"
Li Xin then remembered to inquire about the condition of the soldiers. The war was still undecided, and Wei troops might arrive to reinforce them today, having received the news. He could not afford to make any mistakes!
The drowsy guard outside the door immediately perked up and hurriedly replied, "Reporting to the general, he has been awake for a long time and has already set up defenses and patrols in the city."
Upon hearing this, Li Xin breathed a sigh of relief and nodded in satisfaction.
Little did they know that 100,000 reinforcements from four surrounding cities were about to arrive.
This kid was lucky. The garrison commanders of the four surrounding cities didn't dare to delay for a moment after hearing the news, but unfortunately, there weren't many garrison troops in the city, so they could only send reinforcements to join them.
It takes time to mobilize manpower, time to reunite them, and time to travel.
Therefore, after some back and forth, he finally arrived late.
Wei Jun believed that the commander-in-chief of this attack was not that evil man, but the unknown young general Li Xin. He thought that with Dai Ning's strength and the defense of Anyi City, even if they were not defeated, they could hold out for two or three days.
This back-and-forth created a time difference, allowing Li Xin to indulge himself freely all night.
At this time, the enraged wicked husband was less than five miles from Anyi City.
