Chapter 591: Soldiers Don't Get Tired of Deceit

Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!

When Liu Xiu arrived in Xiuwu, he immediately sent people to Turdeer City to summon the county magistrate of Turdeer County.

In counties with a population of more than 10,000, the highest administrative official is the county magistrate, and in counties with a population of less than 10,000, the highest administrative official is the county magistrate.

The county magistrate and the county magistrate are also different, the county magistrate is as little as 600 stones, as much as 1,000 stones, and the county magistrate is cut in half, as little as 300, and as much as 500.

After the county magistrate of Turdeer arrived in Xiuwu, he immediately came to meet Liu Xiu, and then told Liu Xiu about the attack on Turdeer some time ago.

The thief army that attacked the turbid deer this time had a total of more than 10,000 people, and it was a sneak attack at night, and the turbid deer city was not well prepared, and the thief army who was sneak attacked was caught off guard, and almost did not make much resistance, and the city defense was broken by the thief army.

After the Red Mei Army entered the city, they carried out a large-scale looting of the city, and the granaries and silver warehouses of Turbid Deer City, as well as the large households and people in the city, were basically all suffered, and countless money and grain were lost.

Before dawn, all the Red Mei troops who had invaded the city withdrew, and it was obvious that their purpose was not to occupy Turbid Deer City, but to rob it. It was precisely because the Red Mei Army did not want to occupy Turbid Deer City that the county magistrate could pick up a life.

After hearing this, Liu Xiu pondered for a while and asked, "Do you know which direction the thief army came from?" And in which direction did you run? ”

The county magistrate of Xunlu said urgently: "North! After the thief army withdrew, Weichen specially sent people to investigate, and found that the thief army finally withdrew into Taihang Mountain. ”

Liu Xiu nodded, that's right! The thief army that attacked Turbid Deer City was the Red Mei Army hiding in Taihang Mountain. "Do you know who the leader of the thief army is?"

The county magistrate of Xunlu lowered his head and whispered, "Weichen...... Wechen doesn't know ......"

"How's the thief army equipped? And what about combat power? Liu Xiu asked. The county magistrate swallowed his saliva and said cautiously: "This thief army, brave and good at fighting, and secretive, how they touched the city wall, how to kill the city guards, and how to open the city gate, the city did not hear a little

of movement. ”

Hearing this, Liu Xiu, Jia Fu, Li Tong, Fu Di, and Zong Guang all secretly frowned.

According to the information they learned, this thief army is another part of the Bronze Horse Army, a mere other unit, not the main force of the Red Eyebrows, how can it be so powerful that it can enter the Turbid Deer City without knowing it?

There was not much information from the county magistrate of Xunlu, so Liu Xiu waved his hand at him and motioned for him to step back.

After the county magistrate of Zhuolu left, Zong Guang frowned and said, "Your Majesty, it seems that this Bronze Horse Army is not simple!" ”

"Hmm!" Liu Xiu also felt the same way. He looked at the county order of Xiuwu County and said, "Gao County Order!" ”

"Wechen is here!" The county magistrate of Xiuwu County is named Gao Bo, a middle-aged man in his early forties. Hearing Liu Xiu's call, he hurriedly bowed down and saluted. Liu Xiu asked, "How many soldiers are there in Xiuwu County?" ”

Gao Bo Zhengse said: "Back to Your Majesty, there are 1,500 people. ”

Liu Xiu said: "During this time, it is necessary to strengthen vigilance and consolidate the city defense in case of the attack of the thief army. ”

Gao Bo gasped and asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty thinks that the thief army hiding in Taihang Mountain can hit Xiuwu?" ”

Turbid Deer City is far enough away from Taihang Mountain, and Xiuwu is still in the south of Turbidity Deer, and it is even farther away from Taihang Mountain in the north, he really didn't think that the thief army could be bold enough to fight Xiuwu.

Liu Xiu said: "I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm just afraid of just in case, the thief army is rampant now, it's always right to be careful." ”

"Wechen obeys!" Gao Bo bowed in response.

The day after Liu Xiu arrived in Xiuwu, a note was passed to Liu Xiu. The content of this note is that Fu Zhan, who was too shou of Qinghe County to die of illness and did great things, recommended Zhao Gao as the new Qinghe Taishou.

After seeing this recital, Liu Xiu was surprised, but also couldn't help but sigh with emotion, not long ago, he went to the plains and invited the two brothers Fu Zhan and Fu Di to come to Luoyang as officials, Xian Yuji was still alive and well.

It's only been a few days, and Xian Yuji died suddenly, it's really impermanence!

Liu Xiu approved Fu Zhan's recital and allowed Zhao Gao to be the new Taishou of Qinghe County.

A few days later, Wang Liang sent a battle report, Wang Liang and the Red Mei Army, encountered in Taihang Ba Cheng, the two sides started a confrontation, and finally ended with the Red Mei Army's initiative to retreat.

In this battle, the casualties of Wang Liangjun and the Red Mei Army were not large, the casualties on Wang Liangjun's side were hundreds, and the casualties of the Red Mei Army were about 1,000 at best.

After reading the battle report from Wang Liang, Liu Xiu was quite satisfied, and praised him in his reply to Wang Liang.

Three days later, Wang Liang sent a battle report again, still in Taihang, the soldiers and horses of the two sides met again, or started a battle, and finally ended with the active retreat of the Red Mei Army.

Two times in a row, the Red Mei army hidden in the Taihang Mountain took the road of Taihang, and Wang Liang then strengthened the guard of the road of Taihang, and set up many stone barriers along the way to strengthen prevention. In the evening of this day, the Red Eyebrow Army appeared again in Taihang, and Wang Liang, who got the news, couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, feeling that the people of the Red Eyebrow Army were all tendons, and they recognized the road of Taihang, and they always wanted to take this road, even if they had failed before

Twice, they were going to take this path.

Wang Liang led his subordinates to meet the Red Mei Army, and the two sides broke out a third battle at Taihang. In this battle, the Red Eyebrow Army obviously used all their strength, and the offensive was much more ferocious than the previous two battles.

However, Wang Liangjun had already arranged many stone fortresses on the road to Taihang, which provided protection for the Han army at the same time, but also caused great damage and resistance to the Red Mei army.

While the two sides were fighting fiercely here in Taihang, another group of Red Eyebrow troops quietly walked to Flying Fox. This red-eyebrow army, with about more than 10,000 people, went all the way south along the Flying Fox Mountain, and went straight out of the mountain pass.

On this road of Flying Fox, the Han army was not defenseless, and many sentry posts were set up along the way, including open posts and secret posts.

It's just that this time the Red Eyebrow Army came prepared, and these days, they have quietly figured out all the sentry positions of the Flying Fox.

A team of Han soldiers was patrolling the Flying Fox as usual, and dozens of arrows suddenly flew out from the woods on both sides of the road, and a small team, ten Han soldiers, had no time to react, and fell to the ground one after another. Not far from the vicinity, there are also two secret posts of the Han army, these two secret posts of the Han army saw that their patrol team encountered a sneak attack by the enemy, and the whole army was wiped out, realizing that things were not good, the two of them used the grass as a cover, quietly retreated, and planned to go out

The flying fox went to report to Wang Liang.

The two of them withdrew from a distance of five or six meters, and suddenly heard the rustling of footsteps behind them, and the two of them subconsciously turned their heads to look, and they didn't even see clearly what the person looked like, and the two sharp blades had pierced deep into the necks of the two of them.

The two secret whistles didn't say a word, and they both fell to the ground and were killed on the spot.

The two men in black attacked the two secret sentinels, and at the same time, dozens of men in black also came out of the nearby woods, they looked at each other, and then quickly dispersed, broke into pieces, and continued to sneak forward. These black-clothed men are not only agile, but also extremely strong, and in a single walk, they swept away all the sentry posts set up by the Han army on the Flying Fox. The Red Eyebrow Army, which numbered tens of thousands, was quite numerous, but with the assistance of these black-clothed people

, This Red Eyebrow Army unknowingly passed through the Flying Fox Army, and Wang Liang, who was fighting with the main force of the Red Eyebrow Army in Taihang Mountain, didn't even hear a little wind.

After this red-eyed army of tens of thousands of people came out of the Flying Fox Mountain, it did not delay for a moment, and went all the way south and went straight to Xiuwu.

To make a long story short, the Red Eyebrow Army bypassed the Turbid Deer City in the north of Xiuwu, taking advantage of the night as a cover, and kept approaching Xiuwu.

Since the Son of Heaven is cultivating martial arts, the city defense of martial arts can be described as very strict.

At the head of the city, from time to time, you can see groups of county soldiers patrolling with torches held high.

After the Red Eyebrow Army quietly approached within a hundred steps of Xiuwu City, it did not immediately attack, and more than 10,000 people were all lying motionless on the ground.

Standing at the head of the city, looking out of the city, everywhere you look, it is all pitch black, and no one can imagine that in this darkness, there are more than 10,000 enemy soldiers hidden.

The black-clothed men in the Red Eyebrow Army crawled quickly forward on the ground.

These dozens of black-clothed men moved extremely fast, less than a hundred paces away, and they had already climbed near the city wall in less than a hundred steps.

At this point, most of the men in black stopped crawling, squinting their eyes and staring intently at the city.

There were also several men in black, slowing down and crawling forward slowly, trying not to make any noise. When they came to the base of the city wall, they all stood up and took off the rope they were carrying, and one end of the rope was connected to the iron claws.

Several men in black threw the ropes, picked up the iron claws, and made eye contact with each other, throwing the iron claws upwards almost at the same time.

Several iron claws, from under the city wall, were thrown all the way up to the city, and when they landed, they made a few soft sounds. But even a few soft noises still startled the two nearby sentry posts.

Two county soldiers came over with spears in their arms. At first, before they could see clearly, they approached the front and back, and the two of them first looked around, and one of the soldiers suddenly said, "What is this?" ”

What he was looking at was an iron claw hanging from the wall. The other soldier's eyes widened suddenly, his mouth opened, and he was about to shout when he heard a whoosh, and a crossbow arrow flew up from under the city, striking him in the jaw.

The soldier, without uttering a word, took two steps backwards and fell on his back. In his jaw, a small section of the tail of an arrow was shockingly exposed.

Another soldier was frightened and tried to call out to his companions at the head of the city, but with two pops, two crossbow arrows, one in his jaw and the other in his neck, both mortally wounded.

Pity these two county soldiers, they didn't even have time to shout warnings, and they were both killed by the crossbow arrows that flew up from the city.

After eliminating the sentinels at the head of the city, the black-clothed people under the city walls followed the ropes and began to climb towards the city. The men in black were getting more and more up, and at this time, a patrol happened to come over.

Seeing a large group of black-clothed people appear on the city wall in front of them, the patrolmen were stunned at first, and then reacted, and the captain led by pointed to the black-clothed people, and asked sharply: "Who ......?"

Before he could finish speaking, a crossbow bolt came at him, striking him in the forehead.

The captain snorted and fell on his back, and the rest of the soldiers roared angrily, and rushed forward with their spears in hand. These men in black are all masters, and there are nine county soldiers, how can they be their opponents?

In the blink of an eye, all nine soldiers fell to the ground, all of them were critical moves, and they all died. However, their fight also aroused the vigilance of the county soldiers in the city and in the city, and a large number of county soldiers began to pour in from the black-clothed people. A man in black picked up a torch from the top of the city and shook it out of the city. Seeing the beating fire on the head of the city, the red eyebrow army lying outside the city jumped up one after another, and the people rushed forward with all their strength, heading straight for Xiuwu City.
