Chapter 240: Night Attack (Part II)

On the boundary of Lujiang County, a female team on the official road was marching quickly in the direction of the county seat.

The whole team, no more than a thousand people, although it was a van soldier, traveled all the way, the speed was not fast or slow, pushing hundreds of vehicles, the bulging and rising on them, all carrying grain and grass and inserting weight.

No one spoke, and they walked very neatly, and from a distance, there was a sea of red.

The three officers before the battle were led by Mu Rong, who challenged the students in the martial arts hall that day and won a big victory, and is now the chief officer of this army.

Mu Rong was burly, his face was thick and dark, but his eyes were faintly cold, his robe was blown open, revealing the iron armor leaves inside, and he turned around and looked at the team, very satisfied.

In his opinion, although he said that he was a soldier, he was no worse than the regular army of the Wu army.

An officer on the left, but Huang Jie, with a cold face and an ordinary appearance, because of his serious expression, the whole person exuded a cold and murderous atmosphere.

Although it is only a team leader, because he was born in Yanwutang, he is a regular army officer, which is better than the native officers in the box.

On the right is Shi Jiaqian, tall and thin, less than twenty years old, with a dark horse under his crotch, although he looks young and young, he will not be looked down upon.

It was already summer season, and the vegetation on both sides of the road could not hide the dust that the team had brought up.

Occasionally, startled birds will fly out of the lush grass and canopy, chirping, adding a bit of noise to this summer Li Ping.

In the sky, there was no cloud at all, and a sun hung high in the sky.

It's morning again, and the scorching sun is shining straight down.

Even if the sun is hot, the three people in iron armor in front of the team do not complain about the heat, and their faces are calm, just this forbearance is already rare.

The soldiers marching behind, wearing paper armor, although not bulky, are also hot and unbearable, but the military discipline is strict, and they only wipe the sweat from their foreheads from time to time and continue to march.

In this team, several flags were waving in the wind, and the word "Chu" was embroidered on the flags.

When it was almost noon, a dark cloud obscured the sun, and a light wind was blowing around, and no one in the group spoke, and the three people in front of them all faintly heard sighs.

"Hehe, it's a gust of time. Mu Rong said with a slight smile, and was about to say something more, but was interrupted.

"Report!" At this time, it was only ten miles away from the county seat, and someone suddenly galloped in front of him, and he saw that the knight's armor was wearing, and it was the scout horse sent out by this team.

"The team stops first!" Seeing the return of his own probe horse, Mu Rong raised his hand high, and the team quickly stopped.

All three of them grabbed the reins, and their horses squirted under their crotches, but they had to stop.

Soon the horses were in front of the team.

When they came to the front of the three officers, the cavalryman turned over from his horse, knelt on the ground, and reported to the three officers: "Report, the news obtained has been confirmed, and the entire territory of Lujiang County has been pacified by Fan Junmen! The villain has checked it, and the flag of our army is indeed hanging at the head of the city!"

"The whole territory of Lujiang County has been pacified by Fan Junmen? It is worthy of Fan Shuai, if you use the army quickly, you have worked hard, go down and explore again!" The three of them glanced at each other, Mu Rong spoke again, and said in a deep voice.

"Wei Shuai, since the county town has been conquered by the Wan Military Gate, let's continue to march! If we meet Fan Junmen as soon as possible, it is better to make a good deal and go into battle to kill the enemy as soon as possible!" Huang Jie said.

Shi Jiaqian rode a jujube red horse and did not speak at first.

The three of them had a somewhat complicated mood after hearing the report of the Tanma detective, they were promoted this time and sent to Wei Di, and after listening to the information, they were rarely silent for a while.

On the one hand, I am excited that my side has such strength.

Rendezvous with Fan Liuhai, they will listen to orders under the tent of Bad Liuhai, and Fan Liuhai's proper command is not a bad thing for them.

Fan Liuhai occupied a county so quickly, which shows that there are many capable generals under the account, so is there still a place for the three of them?

The military generals, at this time, are making meritorious contributions, and all three of them are young.

Shi Jiaqian was stunned for a moment before he said: "I also have this intention, in this case, let's go and meet Fan Junmen as soon as possible!"

Mu Rong listened, glanced at it, and said, "What the two of you said is true, it's better to go to see Fan Junmen earlier." ,

If they can't seize this opportunity, when will they have another chance to come out again?

Since all three of them had this idea, the team sped up their march and marched quickly towards the county town.

Along the way, the sights were not completely broken.

In some towns, there was not even much damage, and the people in the villages and towns were not too panicked, but they walked on the road and noticed that there were many fewer pedestrians.

The people who passed by, when they saw this team crossing the border, were still a little panicked, and when they saw that the crossing was the Chu army, although they still avoided hiding, they did not run away overnight.

What they saw and heard made these three people feel a lot of emotion in their hearts.

Just as Mu Rong was leading a team of thousands of people towards the county seat of Lujiang County, in one direction, a group of men and horses were also marching in the direction of the county seat.

Since this team was returning to the city to report on their work, there were only 100 horsemen, led by Wu Xingzong, who was talking to a personal guard beside him with a faint smile on his face at this time.

"Zhou Tai, this time I will go back to see the Wanjunmen, I will definitely repay the credit to Fan Junmen for you, Xipo County can be defended this time, you and Mr. Zhou can be said to be indispensable!"

The more Wu Xingzong looked at Zhou Tai behind him, the more he felt that this person had received it very well.

If it weren't for Zhou Tai's father, Zhou Shucheng, to help him, not to mention whether Xipo County could be defended, and whether it could be successfully conquered that day, it was a question.

And Zhou Tai is a martial artist, which is also quite good.

The kindness of the father and son, Wu Xingzong remembered.

"Report!" Just as Wu Xingzong was talking to Zhou Tai, at the front of the team, a soldier sent out by the official road rode to the front of the team.

"The little one has just returned from the county town, Fan Junmen knows that the general is coming, let the little one pass the word to the general, and let the general be sure to arrive at the county town before noon!"

Cattle time before?

After hearing this, Wu Xingzong was slightly stunned, and then ordered: "Pass the order and speed up the march! Be sure to rush to the capital before noon!"

"No!" the team sped up.

Before noon, Wu Xingzong came to the county seat of Lujiang County with Renguo.

The county city wall of Lujiang County seems to be dilapidated at this time, and it can be seen that it has just gone through a battle.

However, in the place of the opening, stones are temporarily piled up, and over the moat, the drawbridge is hung high.

The city was heavily guarded, and when they saw this group of people approaching the city, although the team was under the banner of the Chu army, they had not been immediately released.

"Wait below, I'll go and call the general!" the soldier who questioned them shouted downwards after a moment's questioning.

In a moment, the figure was gone.

The defenders were still at the head of the city, drawing their bows and arrows, staring nervously below.

After a while, an officer appeared at the head of the city, looked down for a while, checked the talisman, recognized Wu Xingzong, and then said: "Put down the drawbridge and enter the city!"

“...... The soldier hurriedly ran down, and a moment later, the drawbridge was lowered.

With a creaking sound, the city gate was pushed open from the inside.

"Let's go. Seeing this scene, Wu Xingzong waved his hand forward, and a hundred people followed him into the city one after another.

When they entered, the gates of the county town were closed again, and the drawbridge was hung again.

Although the Chu army had already captured Lujiang County, the Wei army could return from the counterattack at any time, and the Chu army defending the city was quite cautious.

After entering the county seat, Wu Xingzong, under the guidance of the officers who let them into the city, went to the camp where the Chinese army was located in the city, where 3,000 people were stationed, and the others were stationed outside the city.

Wu Xingzong dismounted outside the camp and explained his intention.

The soldiers who returned with him were arranged to rest, and he walked towards the tent under the guidance of one of the soldiers.

"Report!" At this time, Liuhai sat at the top and was talking to some officers.

A soldier came in from outside, kneeling down and replying: "General, Wu Xingzong brought it!"

After hearing this, a smile appeared on Fan Liuhai's face.

"Let him in. ,

"No!"

After a while, the sound of footsteps came, Wu Xingzong walked into the handsome tent from the outside in military uniform, and as soon as he came in, he knelt on the ground and said upward: "The last general, Wu Xingzong, come to give orders!"

At this time, it is the height of summer in July, the sun is at the head, the cicadas are singing and the trees are quiet, in the past, there must be every family taking a break in the shade, eating melons and drinking tea, but at this time, after the war, naturally everyone is avoiding, and there are not many pedestrians on the street.

At this time, a Taoist was walking along the street, passing through several half-open and half-closed shops, turning seven or eight, and arriving at a tea shop, there was a big Wei tree in front of the tea shop, and there was a person sitting in front of the counter, wearing a snow-white dress, holding a fan and drinking tea.

And the man went in.

As soon as this person raised his head, he couldn't help but be stunned: "Isn't this the Jingbang Dao Master?"

When the Taoist priest Jinglin asked, he looked at the tea leaves inside, and said, "Yes, I just entered the city, and I encountered a war, so I came out to buy some tea today!"

The man smiled: "So that's the case, come, sit and talk, I soaked in the big red clothes, quench your thirst and quench the heat!"

said, frowned and sighed: "Originally, this was the time of the big sale, but after the first battle, I don't know how long it will take to return to normal, my business is ......"

The Taoist sat down, took a sip, and said: "Lujiang County has been defeated, the King of Wei will not stop, there will be military affairs, not to mention business, it would be good to be peaceful." ,

As he spoke, he looked at the fact that the county town was originally bustling, but now that there are fewer people, the shops on both sides of the street are still lined up, huā fruit shops, tea shops, rice shops, and ironware shops, all of which are half-open and half-closed.

When the owner of the tea shop heard this, he sighed and said, "This is also, but the Chu army seems to be quite rigorous in governing the army, you see that now, basically there is no disturbance to the people, which is a great luck for us." ,

The man listened, nodded, and did not speak. (To be continued.)
