Chapter 760: The Sound of Drums and Horns (32)
Lu Yuanchuan gasped, looked at the spy of the Supervision Institute beside him, and wanted to pull his head off, since half a day ago, the spy of the Supervision Yuan told the soldiers that if they turned over the mountain in front, they could see Xintian County, but half a day had passed, and they had already crossed three mountains, but what stood in front of them was still a towering mountain.
What is called Wangshan running a dead horse, Lu Yuanchuan has a deep understanding this time.
"Battalion Commander Lu, don't look at me like that!" The spy smiled bitterly and looked at Lu Yuanchuan who was shining fiercely, "If you turn over the hill in front, you can really see Xintian County." ”
"In the past half a day, you've fucking told me three times, didn't your Supervision Yuan say that you have explored the way? I see you're so confused that you don't know the road at all. Lu Yuanchuan said viciously, "If you take the wrong path, you don't need to go to the military justice department, Lao Tzu will behead you by delaying the military plane before the battle." ”
The spy shook his head, pointed at the exhausted soldiers behind him, and said, "If you don't say that, will these soldiers be able to hold out until now?" I know the road clearly, and when I climb over this mountain, I really get the county seat of Xintian. ”
Lu Yuanchuan said, "You shit, even I lied?" ”
"If it weren't for you, how could those soldiers not be suspicious?"
Lu Yuanchuan snorted, "If you climb over this mountain and you can't see Xintian County, I will dig a pit for you on that mountain and bury you." ”
"When you get to the top of the mountain, you can see."
Lu Yuanchuan glanced at him, turned around and strode towards his soldiers, in order to hurry, the soldiers of Lu Yuanchuan's vanguard battalion abandoned all their baggage, and even took off the armor on their bodies, the soldiers only carried their weapons, and the crossbowmen carried a crossbow on their shoulders and carried more than a dozen crossbow arrows on their backs. Then they had three days of dry rations, and they had already marched to the third day in this no-man's land, and if they could not reach their destination today, they would run out of food.
"Brothers, climb this mountain, and we will arrive, cheer up." Lu Yuanchuan stood in front of the team and shouted loudly. The soldiers all looked at him with suspicion, and today, it was the fourth time that Lu Yuanchuan had stood in front of them and told them this.
"This time it's true. If you climb this mountain and can't see Xintian County, Lao Tzu will pick up this military uniform and hang himself on the mountain. Lu Yuanchuan roared and looked at the spy of the Supervision Yuan, and said in his heart that even if Lao Tzu wants to hang himself, he has to dig a pit to bury you first.
Hearing the battalion commander even say such words, the soldiers' extremely tired bodies finally mustered up their last strength, "Battalion commander." We believe in you, go. ”
One of the first soldiers got up from the ground and took the first step towards the mountain path. Behind him, soldiers rose from the ground. Immediately following the mountain road, Lu Yuanchuan walked up to the spy, grabbed him, and snorted, "Don't think about running away." Gotta follow me. ”
The spy smiled bitterly, "Battalion Commander Lu, I'm from Jishi City. My wife and doll are all living in the city, where can I go? ”
When the sun was only the last trace of afterglow in the sky, Lu Yuanchuan finally climbed the mountain, and looked at the bottom of the mountain, where he was stunned.
Ahead, at last, there is no longer the endless undulating mountains, but the endless plain, the afterglow of the setting sun is reflected on this plain, dyeing the crops of the ridges and ridges golden, and on those rural areas, farmers with hoes and cattle are leisurely walking towards their homes.
At the end of his vision, he vaguely saw the outline of the city wall of Xintian County. His legs were soft, and he sat in the grass on the top of the mountain, his nose was a little sour, and he finally came out of it, and walked in the mountains for more than ten days, before and after the left and middle, in addition to the mountain or the mountain, today I finally saw people and buildings.
The soldiers behind him lowered their voices and let out cheers.
With his hands on the ground, Lu Yuanchuan jumped up and shouted: "Brothers, now eat, sleep, rest, and nourish your spirits, and when it gets dark, we will go to take Xintian County, and hold on to this point, so that not a single soldier can cross Xintian and enter Tianhe!" ”
"Whoa!" The soldiers replied in unison.
Xintian County, originally located in the key Chong, has always been stationed here troops, but this time, because the Eastern Army Southern Group Army stormed the Cuishan Pass, the guard general Hu Yanchao gathered a large number of troops in the Cuishan Pass, which made the county defenders insufficient, had to draw a large number of garrisons from all over the country to gather strength, Xintian County because of the vast hundreds of miles of stretching mountains on the one hand, and bordering the Tianhe River on the other hand, the original 1,000 garrisons here were actually drawn by Hu Yanchao 800 people to the county town, here, now only about 200 people remain.
Historically, Xintian New Town has never been tested by war, even when Tianhe attacked Langya, because the Linghu family had fallen in Jicheng, the defenders here really opened the gate and surrendered to Ji Wugui when the Tianhe County soldiers attacked.
Xintian County, which has never been at war, has no consciousness that the war is happening at all, and the Kunshan Pass is too far away from them, no matter what, it is impossible for the opponent to hit them, so although at night, although the gate of the county town is closed, but on the city wall, even the patrolling soldiers can not be seen, except for the two lonely dead wind lamps above the city tower swaying in the wind, there are only two janitors left, these two soldiers, now they are also closing the door, sleeping soundly.
Lu Yuanchuan lay on the ground, watched several spies from the Supervision Institute take out the grappling hook, quickly climbed the city wall, and disappeared behind the battlements, he was still a little unbelievable in his heart, he was actually defenseless? What about the soldiers here?
A moment later, when the city gate was slowly opened, Lu Yuanchuan had already jumped up from the ground and galloped forward first.
"There are only two gatekeepers, and it's been solved." Standing at the door, the inspector said.
"It's too easy, isn't it?" Lu Yuanchuan didn't fully realize from the huge surprise until he swaggered into Xintian County.
As the spies walked into the city tower, Lu Yuanchuan saw at a glance that two gatekeepers who were tied up like zongzi were casually thrown in the corner, looking at them with fear, in addition to fear, there was also shock and incomprehension.
Where did this enemy come from?
Lu Yuanchuan didn't bother to pay attention to them, just put on the oil lamp on the table, and listened to the spy explain to him the important official offices and barracks in the entire Xintian County.
After a pillar of incense, the calm Xintian county town suddenly boiled, countless dogs barked wildly accompanied by rumbling footsteps, and the awakened residents opened the door in disbelief, and immediately patrolling soldiers arrived and drove them back to the house with bright steel knives and spears.
When the dawn came again, Xintian County except for the city tower changed a flag, standing full of troops in navy blue uniforms, a qiē was restored to calm, here just changed the owner, but the waves are not alarmed. The inhabitants of the city were still closed, and at this time, the soldiers who had entered the city did not forbid them to go out, but they were frightened. No one knows if these soldiers will suddenly turn into bandits.
It wasn't until noon that a soldier knocked on the door and came in, and when Wen Sheng bought vegetables from these people, the people finally came to their senses, these soldiers seemed to be a little different, when the people who were asked trembled and took out the sparse vegetables and fish at home, these soldiers actually honestly paid for the bill, but these people were shocked.
Finally had the audacity to ask where did these troops come from?
"We are the Eastern Army, and our leader is Gao Yuan, the general of Zhengdong, that is, the son-in-law of Ye Tiannan, the former county lord of Langya County, Langya County was robbed, and now, Gao Dudu wants to get back his wife's things." The soldiers loudly told the people where they had come from, and the soldiers who had been sent out were told the same thing, and when asked, they answered them with this answer.
Ye Xiang's descendants came back for revenge. It didn't take long for the news to spread throughout the county like wings, and the people finally walked out of their homes, the shops reopened, and the market began to open.
Since he is a descendant of Ye Xiang, of course he will not harm the people of Langya County.
The people returned to normal, and Lu Yuanchuan also breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the commander's instructions before departure are really useful, Ye Xiang's name is quite useful here, now don't worry about someone making trouble in the city, he can finally use all his energy on city defense, the large army pulled down the journey with him for about ten days, and he has to defend here independently for ten days, of course, the premise is that Hu Yanchao can react quickly. But does that Hu Yanchao have any troops to send here? Lu Yuanchuan expressed his suspicion that the battle at Kunshan Pass was in full swing, with a small number of soldiers, and it would definitely not be able to withstand the attack of the First Army of the Southern Group Army, and Langya County naturally had to be garrisoned.
Lu Yuanchuan felt that this trip was really easy, of course, the arduous march was an exception.
Xintian County changed hands, and at this time, in the capital of Yan City, Jicheng, but the pot was boiled, the whole city was boiling, Ji Wugui's emergency messenger, within one day, sent ten waves, the eastern army broke into Tianhe County, has captured Shacheng, and now the news that the army is rushing to the county quickly spread in the city like a plague, when the government has not yet responded, the grain merchants in the city are the first to respond, almost all the grain stores in the first time have hung out the wooden signs for selling Xin.
