Chapter 508: The Last Noose

There was still Li Xu from Longyou County, the long line stopped, a sentry card stuck the passage, and an officer and more than a dozen non-commissioned officers stood in the middle of the road with swords and guns, signaling the team to stop. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Old lady Liu lifted the curtain, jumped down from the carriage, and looked up at Longyou County, which was already close at hand. The ruined county town is full of gaps, scorched black marks can be seen everywhere, and above those gaps are blocked by sandbags gathered one by one, and above the city, the tiger soldiers are waiting for them. In the end, it is the most elite troops in the Yue country, even if they know that there is no danger here, they still do enough work.

He turned around, his face was already full of a humble smile, stretched out his hand, and respectfully helped out a person.

This person is naturally the first assistant of Da Yue, Zhang Ning and Zhang Zuoxiang.

Zhang Ning's face was still a little pale, but his expression was very proud at this time, he got off the carriage, carried his hands behind his back, and walked over slowly.

"Zhang Xiang!" The lieutenant officer guarding the middle of the road shouted in surprise, the Tiger Ben Army is stationed in Yuejing, and the officers are very familiar with the ministers of the court, not to mention this is the hot left minister in power in recent years?

Well! Zhang Ning nodded.

"Zhang Xiang, why are you here?" The lieutenant officer hurriedly saluted, and at the same time called a soldier beside him to hurry to the city to make a report.

Zhang Ning didn't answer immediately, but raised his head and looked at the soldiers above the city in the distance, "It seems that they are all very dedicated, and it is not in vain that His Majesty has given you such a high treatment, not bad, not bad." ”

The lieutenant officer smiled and said: "Zhang Xiang praised, Hu Ben is the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, no matter where he is, no matter what he does, he will not dare to slack off in the slightest." ”

"I'm tired of staying in the Zhongping Army, so I'll go to the front line to have a look." Zhang Ning said as he stepped forward, and the officer who followed closely beside him hurriedly waved his hand to signal the soldiers to move away from the obstacles in the road. "How have these two days been? Tiger Ben is the pride of our Dayue, is the soul of war, how to fight Luo Yishui is so hard, the daily consumption, I am very headache, I hope this is the last time to send supplies to the front line, as soon as the battle starts, the money flows out, and the treasury can't bear it. ”

"According to the situation, the last general doesn't know much, but I've heard that it's coming soon." The captain said with a smile, but he didn't think so, Luo Yishui is a real general, even in the Tiger Ben Army, there are many admirers of him, and the combat effectiveness of the border army is of course worse than that of the Tiger Ben, but under the command of Luo Yishui, how can it be so easy to fight? Zuo Xiang is a literati, so he naturally doesn't understand the joints of his head here.

Of course, this can only be said in the heart, and I dare not say it, even if I can't show the slightest clue in my expression.

He accompanied Zhang Ning to move forward slowly, and the convoy behind him naturally followed slowly. When the group approached the city gate, the city gate was already wide open, and a general of the Tiger Ben Army with a large number of officers hurriedly greeted him.

"I've seen Zuo Xiang!" A group of officers suddenly clenched their fists and bowed down.

"Well, in good spirits, not bad, not bad." Zhang Ning smiled, turned around and pointed to the long carriage behind him, "Among the supplies this time, I specially prepared a batch of celebration wine, you can keep a little more for yourself, the traitor is about to be finished, and the Tiger Ben Army is indispensable." ”

"Thank you, Prime Minister Zuo!" The generals were overjoyed, but there were few who were not good at drinking as soldiers, but the military order strictly forbade it, and under normal circumstances, alcohol would never dare to touch it. But with Zuo Xiang's words, then it's nothing. It is said that although Zhang Xiang has a son who is not angry, he himself is still quite good, at least after he came to power, the salary of the tiger army has increased by 30%.

"How many centaurs do we have in Longyou now?" Accompanied by the generals, a group of people slowly entered the city, with a left blind date, so many generals accompanied, the corresponding inspection at the city gate, naturally it was useless, all the soldiers were looking at the left phase of Dayue, and did not notice that this time the team that came to deliver supplies, from the officers to the people, there was no one who was familiar. "By the way, your name is Cao Xin, I should have seen you!"

Cao Xin was overjoyed to be called out by the real Zuo Xiang, in the Tiger Army, he was just an ordinary general, and he was not valued by the commander Kang Qiao, otherwise he would not have been left behind to take care of logistics, he really didn't want to be in place Zhang Ning, who was not in high power, actually recognized himself, if he could climb this high branch, the future in the Tiger Ben Army would be unlimited. As soon as I thought of this, I suddenly became more attentive.

"Lord Zuo Xiang, now there are a total of 3,000 tiger troops in Longyou County, which are specially responsible for protecting and transporting logistics baggage to the front line, of course, this is also a wounded barracks, and the wounded soldiers in front will be sent here to concentrate. There are probably nearly 10,000 of them. ”

The old lady Liu, who was one position behind Zhang Ning, looked at Zhang Ning's side face, and admired it a little in his heart, an ordinary army general, Zhang Ning could say his name casually, it was not unreasonable for this person to be able to mix well in Yueguo!

"Ten thousand?" Zhang Ning asked in surprise: "The casualties are so large?" ”

Cao Xin looked relaxed: "Don't be surprised, Lord Zuo, in fact, most of them are county soldiers, and the real Tiger Ben sergeants are less than 5,000 people." ”

"Half of it, can you not be surprised?" Zhang Ning shook his head and said.

"Lord Zuo Xiang doesn't know, if you count the number of people killed on the front line, in fact, our casualties are about 30,000, the border army under the command of Luo Yishui, the resistance is very tenacious, but the tiger army is more wounded, less dead, basically all the people of the county soldiers, Luo Yishui is not easy, he probably only has forty or fifty thousand people left, and there is nothing to worry about, morale is low, food, grass and ordnance are urgent, I estimate, in two days, he will even run out of arrows, then it will be easy to fight, without these long-range weapons of killing, close combat, The border army is far from being an opponent of the Tiger Army. ”

"Makes sense, too!" Zhang Ning nodded, but he was thinking in his heart, there will be a chance for you to engage in close combat.

As he spoke, everyone had already entered the hall, Zhang Ning went to the back of the big case in the middle, looked at the dozen generals who were qualified to follow Cao Xin into the hall together, and looked at the courteous and flattering smiling faces, but there was a miserable feeling in my heart, it's not that I don't give you a way to live, it's true, I'm about to run out of life.

The monk dressed as Zhang Ning's guard, Yu Xiu'e and several other masters of the blue wolf camp followed into the hall, and saw Zhang Ning sitting in the center, and the monk closed the door of the hall with a smile.

The monk closed the door, and Zhang Ning's face turned even paler.

"Lord Zuo Xiang, your face looks bad, isn't it uncomfortable?" Cao Xin asked.

Zhang Ning didn't speak, but Old Lady Liu stood in front of Zhang Ning with a big sting, looked at everyone, and said, "Zhang Xiang is not feeling well, and I will decide the next thing." ”

Cao Xin was stunned, are the guards of the left prime minister so unruly?

"What's the matter? Please also make it clear. "The old guy in front of him has an intimate attitude with Zuo Xiang, and he must be a powerful person next to Zuo Xiang, but he only knew that he was cultivated before, but this old man has never seen it.

Old lady Liu slowly rolled up her sleeves and said, "On behalf of Zhang Xiang, I announce that all of you will be sentenced to death because you do not abide by military discipline and are cowardly in the face of the enemy. ”

Cao Xin's mouth opened wide, and he looked at the old man inexplicably, and before he could figure out the trick here, Old Lady Liu had already grabbed it with a paw.

The two were too close to each other, one deliberately attacked, one was defenseless, one was a ninth-level master, and the other was only an eighth-level mid-section, Old Lady Liu easily grabbed Cao Xin's head, and exerted force in his hand, Cao Xin screamed, and his helmet and head were all dented, and he couldn't die anymore.

He didn't understand until he died, Lord Zuo, no matter how he said it, he would turn his face.

As soon as Mrs. Liu made a move, Yu Xiu'e was already a coquettish, and the big knife in her hand had been swung out, Yu Xiu'e was the second only master in this hall after Mrs. Liu, and had already touched the threshold of the ninth level, coupled with the help of the fierce monk and more than a dozen other martial arts masters, more than a dozen tiger officers in the hall had no room to resist at all, so they were killed on the spot by them cutting melons and chopping vegetables.

Zhang Ning closed his eyes, his body trembling slightly.

"Signal the dingos and get moving." Old lady Liu laughed and strode out, the monk Yu Xiu'e and others followed closely, leaving two people to guard Zhang Ning, in fact, when Zhang Ning led them into Longyou County, he had no other way to retreat, except to try his best to do things for the Taiping Army, in order to save the life of the whole clan in the future, he had no other choice.

As the monk walked, he took out a bamboo pipe from his arms, raised his hand and threw it into the air, and the bamboo pipe flew into the air with a sharp whistle, and exploded with a snap, scattering sparks in the sky.

With the rise of the sparks in the sky, the soldiers who were still lazy just now escorting the supplies suddenly became like a tiger descending from the mountain, and the knives and guns in their hands unceremoniously beckoned to the tiger soldiers beside them.

Longyou County fell into chaos in an instant, and the Tiger Ben Army was beaten by this sudden blow, the key is that at this time, people and people couldn't find an officer of sufficient level.

Of course they couldn't find them, because the officers, all of whom had now turned into corpses, were lying in the blood-soaked hall.

Farther away from Longyou County, Chen Jialuo saw the sparks rising in the sky, and a happy smile appeared on his face.

"Tiger Battalion, advance, occupy Longyou County."

The 3,000 people of the wild dog have entered Longyou City, and his tiger battalion left 2,000 people to guard the Zhongping County City, and the other 3,000 people followed the convoy, ready to cooperate with the wild dogs. (To be continued.) )
