At the same time, the gourd valley, which is more than a hundred miles away from the Xinzhou water division.

The gourd valley, as the name suggests, is a gourd-like valley, narrow at both ends and in the middle, which can only allow two carriages to pass side by side, and two wide bellies in the middle, and towering mountains on both sides of the valley. As long as hundreds of troops are stationed in any place in the three narrow places, it is enough to resist thousands of troops, and it is a dangerous place where no one man can open it.

However, this gourd valley is the only way to Xinzhou in the direction of Ulju, and if you want to avoid it, you have to detour more than 500 miles recently.

"General, the gourd valley in front has been sealed by the chaotic people!" In the distance, a scout quickly ran over and ran in front of Huang Wushuang to dismount and report.

"Oh? Let's go, let's see! As soon as Huang Wushuang drew his war horse, hundreds of soldiers behind him also patted their horses to follow.

The current gourd valley is no longer the smooth road of the past, since Wang Gan took control of Yingzhou, he naturally sent people to seal the moat leading to Xinzhou. This is the shortcut from Ulju to Xinzhou, although Wang Gan only occupies a corner of Xinzhou, but still has a defense force of 3,000 people here. It can be seen from here that Wang Gan is worthy of being a talented man, he started as a homeless person, but he understands the harm of homeless people, which is in the word "flow". Throughout the ages, countless peasant uprisings have come and gone, only knowing destruction, not production, and ravaging the land like locusts. Although the momentum was huge for a while, in the end, it was all wiped out because there was no foundation. And Wang Gan is not like this, he understands the importance of the foundation. After conquering the three states, he resumed production, refined the army, and even began to promulgate laws, from which Wang Gan's insight and talent can be seen.

Although Wang Gan is talented, most of the generals under him are from farmers and green forest heroes, and they are too poor in terms of knowledge and talent. Most people are complacent and enjoy themselves as soon as they have a little achievement. Wang Gan's policy is a good policy, but when his subordinates implemented it, they were exploited into countless loopholes. The most serious thing is the issue of land annexation, the entire Blood Lotus Sect has more than 1,000 officers and officials who have carved up the land of the entire Yingzhou Sect, causing ordinary people to be exiles or to become Blood Lotus Sect soldiers in order to live. This was also the reason why the Blood Lotus Sect's forces had expanded so quickly. Moreover, the military quality of these officers is too far behind that of regular officers, and the chief general of this gourd valley is no exception.

The main general of Hulu Valley is called He Dajin, who was born as a scoundrel, brave and ruthless since he was a child, and often calls friends in Yingzhou City to bully the weak, because when Wang Gan attacked Yingzhou City, this person took it

Dozens of brothers took the lead in creating civil strife in the city and received Wang Gan into the city, so they were appreciated by Wang Gan. Since then, a prankster has risen to prominence and become a guerrilla general under Wang Gan. Wang Gan asked him to lead 3,000 troops and horses to guard the gourd valley, which shows that Wang Gan attached great importance to him.

But He Dajin didn't appreciate it, in his limited knowledge, of course he would rob the Quartet if he rebelled, and of course he would make a fortune if he was promoted, but Wang Gan asked him to come to guard the gourd valley, and stay in this place where birds don't and chickens don't lay eggs all day long, those have nothing to do with him, how can he be willing? Therefore, since he guarded the gourd valley, he has not cared about anything, and connived at his subordinates to loot and harm the people. Military discipline is even worse than outrageous, and fights and brawls, gathering crowds to gamble, and drinking and causing trouble in the army are all commonplace. He Dajin also turned a blind eye to these, because he himself was like this.

At this moment, He Dajin had just finished a drinking banquet, drank a few more glasses of water and wine, and vented happily on the military prostitute, and was sleeping soundly with the military prostitute in his arms. Not only him, but the defenders of Hulu Valley, from the big and small officers to the soldiers who kept vigil, all slept soundly. Each of them thought that they would occupy such a trench that no one would be able to fight it.

Looking at the bare, sentry-free castle tower, Huang Wushuang's eyes flashed with heavy disdain. "It's ridiculous that such a dangerous place is guarded like this by this group of mud legs."

Jin Wen nodded when he heard this, "Yes, although I am far away in Youzhou, I have also heard of Wang Gan's group of bandits, after all, they are the characters who swept the three states of Dayan, I thought it was some kind of great hero, but I didn't expect his military horses to be like this." In other words, he also has a lot of disdain for Dayan's military horses. Saying that Wang Gan's subordinates are extremely bad, but they still occupy the first state of Dayan, doesn't it mean that the Dayan soldiers are not even as good as a group of bandits?

In fact, Jin Wen said that he really wronged the Great Yan Dynasty, since the founding of the Great Yan Dynasty, there have been endless wars, and the ten-year war with the Qi State has just ended for only a few years, which can be said to have exhausted the national strength. Up to the treasury of Dayan, down to the rice jars of ordinary people, they are all destitute, and they really don't have the extra energy to clean up Wang Gan and these bandits. Now all Dayan can do is to hold a few important passes and cities, and block the bandits in Yingzhou.

Huang Wushuang snorted heavily when he heard this, he was also Dayan's general, wouldn't this be a slap in the face? But for the sake of the head of the family and the Jin family, he was not easy to attack, "Come on, make me a siege machine within two hours, and I will have breakfast in the pass." Cheer up Lao Tzu, don't be looked down upon by any cats and dogs! After speaking, he looked at it coldly

Jin Wen glanced at it.

Jin Wen just smiled, as if he was not talking about himself.

In just two hours, the soldiers under Huang Wu's hands cut down hundreds of logs. Because he didn't bring the craftsmen with him, he just roughly customized dozens of ladders, and rushed to the gourd valley silently.

It wasn't until the ironclad army rushed to the bottom of the pass that the people on the gourd valley woke up, and soon a sentry sounded the gong.

"Boom 。。。。。。" The sound of gongs was so abrupt and piercing in the silence of the night.

The gong sounded only a few times before the sentry was shot through the chest with a sharp arrow. But a few gongs in the middle of the night are enough to say it all.

Countless bandits rushed out of the barracks and hiding holes, either with sleepy eyes and blank faces, or bare-chested, swearing and swearing, or running out in a panic while putting on their clothes, and more people turned over and continued to sleep. There was no organization of officers, and the sudden attack made the Blood Lotus Army chaotic.

After two teas, there was no effective resistance organized on the pass, and in the blink of an eye, countless ironclad soldiers rushed to the pass.

The next thing is much simpler, the ironclad soldiers who went to the city are not something that the Wang Gan bandit army composed of rebellious people can resist. The three or five people of the Iron Armor Army were divided into a group, and they raised their long knives and killed the Blood Lotus Army, just like a skilled old farmer harvesting wheat, and easily killed the Blood Lotus Army who had not yet reacted.

The sky had just turned white, and when Huang Wushuang stepped into the gourd valley, He Dajin's head was presented to him in time.

"General Huang, let's go now." Jin Wen found Huang Wushuang and said anxiously.

"We're here for the day today, and we'll leave early tomorrow morning." Looking at his tired soldiers, Huang Wushuang spoke.

"What? One day? General, we don't have much time, and it's a waste to delay a day here. Jin Wen shouted.

"Shut up, I'm the chief general of this army, and it's up to me whether I leave or stay." Huang Wushuang rebuked loudly, "Can't you see how tired my brothers are? How can you get a good rest for the day? Don't you understand the truth of sharpening knives and cutting wood? Don't worry, there are only a hundred miles left, and you can't make a mistake. ”

Seeing Huang Wushuang so persistent, Jin Wen had no choice but to turn around and leave hatefully.
