Chapter 342: The Mo Dao Army Sets Out
The autumn morning is a little cool, but also a little wet, now the frost is approaching, but the temperature in Hanzhong Mansion is not as cold as in the north, but due to the ban, the early morning in Hanzhong Mansion is particularly bleak, in addition to the East Market has begun to gather hawkers one after another, there are only a few small shops selling breakfast scattered on both sides of the streets in the city, under the wooden shed, the steaming heat rises, adding wisps of 'white fog' to the empty streets.
A crisp and rapid sound of horses' hooves woke up the owner of a mutton soup seller, and the large soup spoon in his hand and the wooden lid with a diameter of more than one meter also stayed in the air, and his eyes turned to the source of the horse's hooves. As long as it is the people in the city, no one knows that something big is about to happen today, although the genius at this time is bright, but he heard the sound of horses' hooves that 'disturbed the people', which has to make the boss who is more than half a hundred years old a little surprised.
However, when the boss saw the 'disturber' through the thin morning mist, he was also a stirring spirit in his heart, and at the same time an inexplicable excitement rose. There were only a dozen or so people, each dressed in a strong suit, but on the swarthy shoulders was a red pentagonal maple badge, and each person had one. The people of Shannan Province all know what this small pentagonal maple badge represents, and more than ten people suddenly appeared, don't think about it, these people are also from the Marquis's Mansion!
Led by Yuan Biao, followed closely by Zhao Chenyi's group of Feng Kill, one person and one rider, expressionless, cold eyes, when he quickly passed through the mutton soup boss, the gust of wind that swept by made the boss feel a chill, and even felt that the temperature was a little colder than when he had just cleaned up the store not long ago.
When there were still nearly 100 meters away from the East City Gate, Zhao Chenyi had already raised his hand and raised a token, shouting loudly, without superfluous words, short and simple: "Open the door!" ”
Even the mutton soup boss on the side of the road can see in his eyes that this group of people is unusual, how can the generals and soldiers guarding the door be inferior to the other party? After hurriedly directing the opening of the city gate, he was about to greet Yuan Biao and the others, but saw that Yuan Biao and the others had no intention of stopping at all, and they didn't even slow down the speed of their horses by half a minute, and galloped straight away from the center of the city gate that was not completely opened.
"Oh my God!" A small officer who led the team still maintained the action of clenching his fists and saluting at this time, but his head had already turned to the outside of the city, looking at the dust raised by more than ten war horses, and sighed in a low voice: "So urgent? Is there something big about to happen? ”
"Brother Zhang! It's all night long! An ordinary soldier leaned over with a smile and reminded in a low voice: "Today, our Zhongwu Marquis went to worship the martyrs of the Feng family's army!" Presumably those guys just now are going to open the way! ”
"Open the way? Only a dozen people? The officer who led the team was slightly stunned, looked at his subordinates as if he kept making eyes, quickly reacted, quickly put his arm down, coughed lightly twice to hide the embarrassment, and suddenly two words floated in his heart, and he couldn't help but shudder, and exclaimed: "Feng kill?!" ”
"Hey! Brother Zhang, be quiet! The ordinary soldier seemed to be more eye-catching than his boss, and hurriedly pulled the other party's arm, and after looking around to see that there were no outsiders, he whispered: "Let's just defend the city, it's not too peaceful recently!" ”
"Yes, yes!!" The officer also reacted, glanced at the other party gratefully, laughed a little embarrassedly, patted the other party's shoulder and instructed: "Let the brothers cheer up, and in another hour you will be able to go home and sleep in another shift!" ”
"Okay! Brother Zhang, rest assured! The soldier nodded happily and turned to give orders to the rest of the men.
Soon after, the number of people in the city began to increase, but it was only compared to just now, and most of them were people who rushed to the East Market with their goods to do business, at this time, ordinary people were not willing to get up so early to come out to suffer from the cold.
"Wow! Cha! Wow! Cha!.. ”
The crisp sound of metal clashing suddenly came from a distance, causing the only pedestrians and vendors on the street to stop, and their eyes were blank to the source, looking for what was the sound, so imposing and so neat.
Suddenly, a bright light suddenly appeared at the connection between the southern city and the center of the city, and several traders who had stopped to visit at a close distance were suddenly frightened and their legs weakened, and if it were not for the brick walls on both sides of the road, they would have collapsed directly on the ground.
"Wow! Cha!! Wow! Cha!! ”
A row of people, a light, a row of people, a light...
"Mo Dao Army!!" A trader who thought he was knowledgeable suddenly stretched out his hand and exclaimed, then withdrew his arm and covered his mouth tightly, a panic appeared in his eyes, lest the exclamation just now would attract the attention of the suddenly appeared Mo Dao Jun and cause unnecessary trouble. However, this person was obviously a little worried, and the Mo Sword Army under Lin Han didn't even turn their heads to look at him, but went straight through the center of the city and headed towards the northern city.
"Hey! Zhang Laohan! Those guys just now look mighty! An old man carrying two boxes of cooking cakes stopped under the shed of mutton soup, and after putting down the burden, he smiled and asked the familiar boss Zhang Laohan, but a pair of eyes that couldn't hide their greed always stayed on the big pot of mutton soup under Zhang Laohan.
"Looks? Scold! Say you don't have knowledge, you really haven't seen it! Zhang Laohan paused for a moment, the big soup spoon in his hand continued to stir in the pot, and he sneered with some disdain: "That's an elite army that our Zhongwu Marquis has just trained in the southern battlefield, the Modao Army!" ”
"Mo Dao Army? I seem to have heard of it somewhere. The old man who sold the cake was stunned when he heard this, and then raised his head slightly, scratched the back of his neck, and looked puzzled.
"In the first battle of Luzhou, 8,000 rebels were defeated with 200 people! Now the storytellers in the teahouse have spread all over the place! Do you still need to ask?! Zhang Laohan was also interested, stretched out his hand and threw the soup spoon on the table beside him, turned around and stepped on a bench, beckoned to the other party, and mysteriously showed off his news: "Lao Jiu!" Let me give you the inside scoop! I have a relative's son who is in the Feng family's army, and it is said that the rebel army at that time was not 8,000 at all! ”
"Oh? I'll just say it! How can two hundred against eight thousand still win! Lao Jiu, who sold cakes, couldn't read the special meaning from Zhang Laohan's face, but he suddenly realized to himself, and then pursed the corners of his mouth disdainfully: "Those storytellers rely on their mouths to cheat money all day long!" ”
"You're wrong!" Zhang Laohan suddenly slapped the table in front of him, and pointed at the other party with an angry expression and corrected: "It's not eight thousand!" Eighteen thousand! And the rebels are still the defenders of the city! This Mo Dao Army relied on two hundred people, slaughtered nearly 10,000 people, and captured thousands of rebels! In that battle, the entire city wall of Luzhou was dyed red with blood! It is said that God later felt that the killing was too heavy, and it took half a month of heavy rain to wash away the blood! This is also the reason why Feng Jiajun later returned to the division half a month late! ”
"One, 18,000 ?!!" Lao Jiu opened his mouth wide when he arrived, his face was full of disbelief, but after seeing the seriousness of Zhang Laohan's face, he believed the other party's words a little, after all, he had also heard a lot of legends about the Modao Army. Immediately, Lao Jiu turned his gaze to the center of the city, although the Mo Dao Army had left for a while, Lao Jiu's eyes still seemed to have the scene just now, and he muttered to himself: "How is it possible. ”
Although Lao Jiu's words still refused to admit the 'facts', Zhang Laohan could see from the other party's expression that he had already believed it, and after his betrayal had achieved results, Zhang Laohan was as if he had participated in the Battle of Luzhou at that time, and he didn't care if Lao Jiu could listen to his explanation, anyway, he began to dance with his own hands, and from time to time he would pick up a big soup spoon and wave it a few times, lest the other party not feel the fierceness at that time.
