Chapter 0249 - Escort (5)
Fang Jue was already preparing for a decisive battle with the enemy, but unexpectedly, the opponent's men and horses did not have the intention of attacking early for a long time, which made Fang Jue and everyone a little puzzled, and the enemy in front of him began to slowly retreat.
Fang Jue didn't know what the person who came just now said to the person who had come before, causing the enemy who had been red-eyed to kill suddenly retreat. Just like Fang Jue didn't know why these people wanted to rob the way of officers and soldiers, bandits with a little brain would not make such a stupid decision, but fortunately, a smart person came.
The people of Yinhu Mountain had already gone away, and the soldiers who went to check reported that the danger had been lifted, Fang Jue began to comfort the wounded soldiers, as for the dead people, Fang Jue did not bury them on the spot, he asked people to notify the nearby government, and then sent the dead back to Chang'an.
After the first battle, Fang Jue still had more than nine hundred people under him, and the road was still very long, so he had to be more careful.
"Yinhu Mountain, I remember you."
Fang Jue looked in the direction of Silver Tiger Mountain, he was touched by the nearly a hundred corpses lying there, if there was a chance, he would definitely make Silver Tiger Mountain pay for today's actions.
The Turkic princess looked at Fang Jue's murderous look, but she was not afraid, but felt very interesting.
The escort team began to march again, and the nearby cottages heard that Yinhu Mountain actually dared to take the initiative to provoke officers and soldiers, such a stupid act, how could it be something that Jiang Dahu, who had always been extremely shrewd, would do.
Today is the first round of the sun of spring, hiding in the clouds and reluctant to take the situation, like a shy little girl. Even with the temperature, it still feels a little cold when passing through a grove of trees. After last night's fighting, all the soldiers were on alert, and they didn't want to go through it again.
After walking another fifty miles, there was a small town in front of him, and Fang Jue decided to camp and rest outside the town, so as to replenish some materials in the town.
The carriage moved forward slowly, although there were some bumps along the way, but the Turkic princess chose to take the carriage, she didn't want to die in vain.
The name of the town is Taidui Town, Fang Jue did not enter the city, but camped two miles outside the city, Fang Jue took out the voucher, and the defenders of the city tower breathed a sigh of relief.
The county commander of Twilight Town personally prepared some gifts and food and sent people to reward the troops outside the city gates. This Taidusk Town is relatively small, and the total number of soldiers in the city is less than five hundred, so many soldiers suddenly appeared outside the city, how can they not pay attention to it.
On this day, the Liukou pretended to be officers and soldiers, and when the real defenders of the city were relaxed, they took the city in one fell swoop, and then plundered it. This has happened many times in the Celestial Empire, and most of them are small towns, like Twilight Town.
The head of the city of Taidui Town suddenly strengthened its vigilance, and the soldiers who went to the procurement came back to report to Fang Jue, and Fang Jue also felt incredible.
The county magistrate of Twilight Town invited the soldiers who went in to purchase to an inn in the city, and told them to wait, and the government personally procured what they wanted.
These soldiers who went to the procurement saw that the officials in Taidui Town were so flattering, this cheap and white is not taken advantage of, as long as they return to the camp before dark, so they order good wine and food, and they don't have to pay for it themselves anyway.
When the officials of Taidui Town saw the officers and soldiers looking at each other like this, they felt that these people were probably really bandits who came down from the mountain, and they went to the city to procure just to find out the truth, and the paper they had read before, how to look at it and how it was fake.
It was getting dark, and the soldiers who had entered the city to purchase things escorted a few carts out.
Fang Jue asked a smell of wine, and hurriedly walked over to ask, it turned out that in addition to sending some food, the county order of Taidui Town also sent two truckloads of good wine. The soldiers who smelled the smell of wine all stuck their heads over, they were so tired today, if they really had wine to drink, it would be great.
Fang Jue suddenly scolded sharply, saying that there were still important tasks that had not been completed, and he couldn't drink, to the effect that he had drunk and made a mistake, and promised that when it was over, everyone would have a good drink, and it would be no problem to get drunk for a day and a night.
These words frightened the soldiers of Twilight Town who came to deliver wine, and he was also ordered by the county to order the adults to come over to find out the truth, this is not obvious, the task is to rob Twilight Town, and then loot it, and then get drunk for a day and a night. Several soldiers glanced at each other, and hurriedly took their leave, and ran towards the town of Taidu, they ran very fast, and they were nervously urging the door to open the door under the city, and then they entered the city with a puff of smoke.
Fang Jue originally wanted the soldiers in Twilight Town to pull the wine back, but he didn't expect this person to run too fast.
Since it was delivered, it was not easy to send it back, Fang Jue looked at the greed of the soldiers around him who swallowed saliva, he still relented, everyone was tired, just drink some.
However, there are clear rules that each person can only drink one bowl, and one bowl is enough to satisfy cravings.
I heard that there was wine to drink the enthusiasm of the soldiers, as if it was worth the tiredness.
The county commander and the military general defending the city in the city listened to the reply of the soldiers who went to investigate the truth, and his face became solemn.
"That's what he said?"
The prefectural order repeatedly confirmed that it was correct, and he twisted half of his beard and made a thoughtful look.
"My lord, they're drinking."
A soldier with good eyesight at the head of the city came over with some excitement to report.
The county magistrate suddenly took the case, and then calmly said to the military generals on the side: "Dare to come to my twilight town to rob, it's like looking for death, have you arranged it?" ”
The generals on the side also showed a sinister smile and said: "This medicine is my family's ancestral secret recipe, and after drinking it for less than an hour, they will sleep like pigs, and even if they cut off their heads, they won't feel pain." Don't worry, when they sleep, I will personally take the whole city to kill the soldiers and horses, ensure that no one is left, and kill all these bastards. ”
The town began to assemble soldiers, and even the guards of the county order joined in, barely raising enough people for a total of 500 people. This county order is a ruined ship, as long as he destroys this group of people outside the city, his merits are not small, and after staying in this twilight town for so many years, it is time to move the place.
The soldiers outside the city began to line up to receive the wine, which was indeed a good wine, and when they first arrived, the soldiers were still a little depressed, but now they were in good spirits, thanks to the attraction of the wine.
As a general, it is not right for Fang Jue to allow soldiers to drink, but Fang Jue doesn't care about any military regulations at all, and he is not willing to perform any escort tasks, not to mention, he is camped by the city, and there are some soldiers in Taidui Town, so he is more laissez-faire and will not worry about what will happen. As long as you take a good look at the Turkic princess and don't let her play any more bad intentions, it will be enough, and a bowl of wine will not get in the way.
The soldiers who distributed the wine were afraid that the gluttonous soldiers would run out of wine, so they hurriedly came over with a few bowls of wine. Fang Jue and Xiao Yue Fan Ba were discussing which road to take tomorrow, and how long would it take to get to the border.
Fan Ba took the wine, took a sip without thinking about it, and said to the soldier just now: "Give me another bowl for the master." ”
Xiao Yue took the wine but looked a little sven, he took a sip first, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and his face became solemn.
"Young master, don't drink it, there is something wrong with this wine." Xiao Yue hurriedly stopped Fang Jue, and he tasted it lightly, wanting to confirm again.
Fang Jue didn't drink, but looked at Xiao Yue with some doubts. Fan Ba saw Xiao Yue say that there was a problem with the wine, he had just drunk a bowl, and at this moment he saw Xiao Yue continuing to drink, so he began to make fun of Xiao Yue for making a fuss, obviously because he wanted to drink more bowls.
