Chapter 1255: Carrying on the Past and Forging Ahead (145) Disguise
Lengshui Village has now become a ruin, last year when the Yue Yi army fled into Cang'er Mountain, it was along the road in front of Lengshui Village to Lengshuigou, and then fled all the way into Cang'er Mountain, Lengshui Village was first looted by the rebels who fled here, robbed almost all the rations and livestock in the village, and then the Qin army chased after them, and the people of Lengshui Village, who had just gone bankrupt, immediately fell into the killing, the Qin army could not catch up with the rebels who fled into the mountains, turned their heads, and killed all the men in the village, all of them, Cut off the head to recharge the results of the battle.
With the failure of the Qin army to suppress the rebel army on Cang'er Mountain, and the improvement of the siege, Lengshui Village became an important checkpoint, and the Qin army built a military village here, blocking the road of Lengshuigou into the mountain. Like this, there are more than ten military villages blocking Cang'er Mountain, which are distributed around Cang'er Mountain. And Lengshuigou is the largest of them, originally garrisoned 300 people, but with the development of land reform in Shu County, the chaos in Shu County is also intensifying, there have been small-scale riots in some places, compared to Ziyang County is still good, which also makes Zhou Liang a little poor to deal with, he is responsible for Ziyang, Ningqiang, Nanzheng three counties of banditry affairs, originally these agricultural harvest riots, he does not care, but with short hands, eat people soft, officials around the country look at the army to come forward faster and more effective than the government to arrest, So much so that he had to send out his army incessantly, and he was a little overwhelmed.
The troops were insufficient, so they began to transfer soldiers and horses besieging the military villages in Cang'er Mountain, and the 300 people in the Lengshuigou military village were transferred to suppress the riots in various places.
Anyway, in Zhou Liang's opinion, after more than a year of blockade, the bandits in Cang'er Mountain have long been out of fashion, which can be seen from the fact that they have never tried to go down the mountain to attack the military village, and they have no food, drink and no supplies in the mountains, and these people are afraid that they have already become savages. It is enough to leave a hundred people to watch the military village, not to mention, these people just go out to play and press, go and return quickly, that is, it is a matter of a few days.
The military village at night, dragged the shadow on the ground by the moonlight, the shadow is worshipped, on the top of the military village, several lanterns emit a faint red halo weakly, and the cold water village outside the village. But it is a ruin, although there is only more than a year of effort, but here, only the ruins remain, when the military fortress is repaired, there can be demolished, basically all of them are demolished.
This army, which was trained by Meng Tian, used to be the leader of the Qin army, but in the past two years. He was ordered to enter Shu to suppress the peasant army uprising, and to deal with the rabble of peasants with a well-trained army. Naturally, it was captured with his hands, and without the slightest suspense, he won the battle.
But in Shu County, which has been stationed for more than a year, this former army of tigers and wolves. Like their leading generals, they are also slowly degenerating, and the once strict military discipline is slowly disappearing from them. It is much easier to burn, kill, rob, and plunder than to hold on to those few salaries.
Or their combat effectiveness is still there, but an army that has thrown away discipline has long since lost its bravery. On the top of the military village, two soldiers leaned against the wall, one carrying a chicken leg in his hand and a wine jug, chatting while eating, their weapons casually leaning against the wall.
For these soldiers, the happiest thing is that when they are on duty every ten days, they can bring silver to the green building in the town and have a good time, which was unimaginable in the past.
Ordered to enter Shu County to suppress the peasant army uprising, this army is like a bird out of the cage, if there is a stern general with it, it will not be much of a deal, but their general Zhou Liang is the first to be assimilated by the officials of Shu County, under the temptation of money and women, Zhou Liang completely fell, the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, Zhou Liang collapsed, the first to follow is the middle-level army, then the grassroots officers, and finally all the soldiers.
The two soldiers chatted happily about the woman who was the prettiest in the town, and when the woman was at her best, they didn't notice at all that the two black shadows were already on all fours, crawling all the way to the bottom of the wall of the military wall, and hid directly below them.
A moment later, there was the sound of Zhengqi's footsteps in the direction of Lengshui Village, and the two soldiers turned their heads when they heard the sound, and under the moonlight, a group of about 100 Qin soldiers were lining up in a neat queue, striding towards the direction of the military village.
The two soldiers glanced at each other, "Why did you come back after going out for two days, isn't it going to be transferred to Ning Qiang this time?" A soldier said casually.
"Maybe before you leave the county, it has already been pacified, what kind of climate can a group of farmers become?" The other soldier grinned.
"Ning Qiang!" The soldier who spoke first was stunned and looked at the soldier who was getting faster and faster in this direction, "Then how did they come from the direction of Lengshui Village?" ”
At this question, the other soldier was also stunned, blinked his eyes, stared at the group of Qin soldiers who were rapidly approaching, and suddenly excited, "No, they are not our people, they are ......." ”
Without saying a word, the wall was lowered, there were two strange sounds, two soldiers snorted, above their throats, there were two short crossbow arrows inserted in the right place, the chicken legs in the hands of the two soldiers, the wine jug fell to the ground, and they covered their throats with both hands, trying to scream, but this arrow shot so accurately that it completely destroyed their throats, and the two of them covered their throats and collapsed to the ground.
Under the wall, two rope sleeves flew up, covering the wall buttress on the wall, two vigorous figures pulled the rope, and climbed the wall in an instant, and then the ropes were thrown up, and more people climbed up. With a creaking sound, the hanging suspension bridge was lowered. Immediately afterwards, the gate of the village was easily opened from the inside.
In the Lengshuigou military village, in an instant, the sound of shouting and killing sounded.
The Cang'er Mountain rebel army led by Niu Teng succeeded in one blow, and hundreds of righteous troops took advantage of the sharp reduction of the defenders of the Lengshuigou military village and the opportunity of reduced vigilance, and basically occupied the Lengshuigou military village without paying any price. The more than 100 Qin troops stationed in Lengshuigou were killed by the angry rebels, and none were left.
"How's it going?" Niu Teng, who was standing in a pool of blood, looked at a locally dressed person in front of him and asked, this person is a spy agent of the National Security Bureau of the Han Kingdom lurking in the local area.
"Ziyang County is extremely empty now, five days ago, a large-scale peasant riot broke out in Ningqiang County, the peasants poured into the county seat, surrounded the county government, only one step away from killing the official and rebelling, Zhou Liang personally rushed to Ningqiang with the army to quell the riot, now is the best opportunity."
"How much time do we have?"
"One day!" The spy said: "Zhou Liang has quelled the Ningqiang riot two days ago, and will return to Ziyang the day after tomorrow at the latest. We have one day to take Ziyang, and then calculate Zhou Liang, Zhou Liang is the only Qin army with combat effectiveness in Ningqiang, Ziyang, and Nanzheng counties, destroy him, these three counties are ours, and now the farmers in these places have reached the verge of breaking out, as long as we light this first fire, I believe it will soon become a prairie fire. ”
Niu Teng took a deep breath: "I have been staying in the mountains for the past year, I don't know much about things outside, how much work have you done, and how many people have come?" I don't want this uprising, like last year's peasant army uprising, to rise quickly and lose quickly. ”
"General, don't worry, this time the National Security Bureau has invested a lot of money, in the past year, we have secretly infiltrated a large number of people, and a batch of weapons and armor have also been stored, the key is that this first battle must be fought well, and then take advantage of the fact that it is difficult for the Qin army to mobilize troops to come and extinguish us for a while, and grow rapidly."
Niu Teng smiled: "If you can't win this battle, I'll write the word cow upside down." You go, tomorrow, I will take Ziyang, and then I will destroy Zhou Liang, and you can start preparing for something. ”
"Okay, then I'll go first." The spy saluted Niu Teng, turned and hurried away into the darkness.
Seeing the man disappear, Niu Teng turned around and shouted, "The whole army is assembled!" ”
An hour later, hundreds of rebel troops all changed into the uniforms of the Qin army and headed in the direction of Ziyang.
Ziyang County Ling Guo Qing has been a little weak in the past few days, because of the land reform, frequent riots in Shu County, the garrison is exhausted, a few days ago Ning Qiang's large-scale peasants entered the city to besiege the county government, so that he was extremely worried that it would happen in Ziyang, Ziyang is not stronger than Ningqiang, the people here are more fierce and aggressive, a year ago Ziyang farmers were exposed not only shocked Shu County, but also shocked the Qin State, Guo Qing felt that if Ziyang also came to a riot like Ning Qiang, it would definitely not be to encircle the county government, it must be to rush in with a knife and a gun to kill himself.
Zhou Liang took the garrison to Ning Qiang to quell the riots there, there were no soldiers in the city, and Guo Qing felt that he had no bottom in his heart! Especially a few days ago, Guo Kuo, that is, his distant relative and two servants, lost their lives inexplicably, which made him even more frightened.
"My lord, I'm back, I'm back!" Outside, the county lord Bo happily rushed into the county hall.
"What's coming back?" Guo Qing was a little annoyed and shouted, he was in a bad mood, and he was startled by this startled guy.
"My lord, General Zhou's troops have returned, and just now the city gate has come to report that the army has entered the city." Lord Bo said happily: "My lord, don't worry about it anymore now!" ”
Hearing that Zhou Liang's troops had returned to the county seat, Guo Qing's heart finally stopped, but in front of his subordinates, he put on a full shelf, "What am I worried about, what am I worried about?" (To be continued......)
