The magistrate of Yuanqu County never thought that the summer harvest was about to begin, but the neighbor of Yangcheng County suddenly attacked Yuanqu County, and under their unpreparedness, a soldier and horse under the banner of the Xingtian Army suddenly appeared within their county, and it took only two days to capture Lishan Town in the northeast of Yuanqu County, cutting off the only road between Lishan Town and Yuanqu County. *..!。 *

This can scare the officials of Yuanqu County half to death, they didn't expect that the Xingtian Army would choose to attack them at this time, originally they thought that Yuanqu County is a small place, there are not many gentry and rich people, and there are also mountains and forests deep Wangwu Mountain and Yangcheng are separated, even if the Xingtian Army is attacking, it should also choose Zezhou and Qinshui direction to attack, and should not choose Yuanqu as the target, so unlike the states and counties around Yangcheng that are all soldiers of the Xingtian Army, Yuanqu County behaves very calmly, I didn't make much preparation at all, but during this time, I mobilized some villagers to suppress the bandits in the local area, and I felt that everything was fine.

As a result, I didn't think that the Xingtian Army chose them at this time, which can scare the officials of Yuanqu County into chickens and dogs, and on the one hand, they quickly organized the township to strengthen the defense of the county, and on the other hand, they hurriedly sent people to Pegasus to Jiezhou for help, and the local big households were even more shocked that the chickens and dogs jumped, some people paid a lot of money to hire Zhuang Ding to help guard the village, and some people hurriedly took the money to buy weapons to arm their own Zhuang Ding, in short, after Lishan Town was conquered by the Xingtian Army in one fell swoop, the entire Yuanqu County fell into a panic.

But unlike the government and the old wealthy, the poor people here in Yuanqu County, because they are only separated by a mountain between Yuanqu and Yangcheng, although the traffic is blocked, but there are still a lot of contacts between the mountain people, the poor people in Yuanqu have heard a lot of things about the Xingtian Army from these hunters and mountain people from the Yangcheng area, and they are all envious of the people on the Yangcheng side, and they can't wait to be the people of Yangcheng, share some fields, and live a good life in the future.

There are even activists who simply crossed Wangwu Mountain in advance, entered the boundary of Yangcheng, defected to the Xingtian Army, and obtained the land they coveted in the area controlled by the Xingtian Army in Yangcheng, so that when the Xingtian Army secretly prepared to attack Yuanqu County, there was no shortage of guides at all, and many people who were originally from Yuanqu immediately stood up and took the initiative to ask for the Xingtian Army to open the way in front, and at the same time, Feng Gouzi also recruited a lot of villagers who were originally from Yuanqu County, and returned to Yuanqu County one step in advance. Encourage the people in the area of Yuanqu County to prepare for the arrival of the Xingtian Army.

And for such a situation, the government of Yuanqu County realized it later, and did not notice anything unusual in advance, so that when a Xingtian army suddenly appeared outside Lishan Town, the inspection of Lishan Town was not even prepared at all, and the big households in the town were even more defenseless, and they were caught off guard by the Xingtian Army, and even the gate of the town was not closed, so it was seized by the Xingtian Army in one fell swoop, and a large number of Xingtian Army members rushed into Lishan Town. Some of the people in the town should immediately encourage the people in the town to follow the Xingtian Army to start attacking the houses of several large households in the town and the town inspection department, and until this time, the inspection of Lishan Town and a few big families did not understand, and quickly closed the door and took their families and patrol and other personnel to resist, but in the face of the wolf-like Xingtian Army, their resistance seemed so pale and powerless, and in just one day, the Xingtian Army took full control of Lishan Town.

On the second day after the Xingtian Army took control of Lishan Town, Xiao Tianjian ordered Yan Chongxi and Luo Li, the two tiger generals, to divide their troops into two ways and begin to sweep the Dazhuang Fort in the area of Lishan Town. rushed to flee to Yuanqu County for refuge, and all the towns of Lishan fell under the control of the Xingtian Army.

After Xiao Tianjian captured Lishan Town, Xiao Tianjian and his subordinates did not rest for a moment, leaving only part of the fine work to temporarily organize the local people, and leaving a team of fifty people to lead them, guarding the only road to Lishan Town, and personally led Yan Chongxi and Luo Li to the ancient town in the south.

The ancient town is located on the north bank of the Yellow River, and this place is the confluence of the two direct flow rivers of the Yellow River and the Haoqing River, and the key pass connecting several townships in the southeast of Yuanqu County.

Although Lishan Town and the ancient town are both territories in Yuanqu County, but Lishan Town is deep in the mountains, and the straight-line distance from the ancient town is fifty or sixty miles, plus there are many roads to take the mountain road, and there is almost a distance of more than 100 miles from Lishan Town to the ancient town, and the mountain road is not suitable for war horses to gallop, so this time Xiao Tianjian attacked Yuanqu County basically all of the infantry troops, and even the scouts under Shi Ran were mostly changed to walking.

In order to gain time and capture the ancient town before the rest of Yuanqu County learned the news of the attack of the Xingtian Army, Xiao Tianjian once again ordered to travel lightly and rush to the ancient town at the speed of a rapid march.

This run is a whole day, under the command of Xiao Tianjian, the soldiers and generals only rest for a quarter of an hour every ten miles of march, and they did not even bury the pot to cook at noon, and the whole army only ate some dry food and pickles that everyone carried with them, and drank some cold water in the water bladder, so that in just one day, the whole army rushed to the outside of the ancient town.

The drill gopher and more than 30 of his previous subordinates, who ran with the Xingtian Army, almost lost their breath, they used to boast that they were iron feet, coming and going in the mountains without a trace, and it was very easy to run dozens of miles a day, but today for the first time they followed the Xingtian Army for such a rapid march, only to know that their walking legs and feet were not the opponents of the Xingtian Army at all.

These soldiers of the Xingtian Army seem to be beaten with iron, one by one after spreading their legs, like stepping on the wind, rushing towards the front, at the beginning of twenty or thirty miles, the gopher they are new to the army can basically keep up, but after noon, the gopher they will be a little unable to stand such a rapid march, one by one is to flash the waist fork, the legs are like the lead is filled, how can not be lifted, after running for a while, the two legs are soft like noodles, a few gophers before the butt sat on the side of the road, Panting like a bellows, he shook his head and shouted, "My mother! If I run again, I'm going to die of exhaustion! Not really! Not really! I can't run anymore! ”

It just so happened that Xiao Tianjian chased after him from behind at this time, and the gopher found that even Xiao Tianjian was marching on foot like them, and he was also like them, sweating profusely, and he stopped on the side of the road from time to time to cheer up his soldiers.

"What's wrong? Brethren? Can't you run when you get here? Harder, the mountain people said, there are twenty miles to the ancient town! Rest after you go! You can't drag it until it's dark, and once it gets dark, you won't be able to see anything on this mountain road! Grit your teeth and hold on! Come on, I'll give you a hand! Xiao Tianjian saw the gopher group lying on the side of the road one by one, so he walked up to them and said to them, and as he spoke, he pulled a person up from the ground with his own hands, and reached out to take the short hoe he was carrying.

The drill gopher got up with a wry smile and said to Xiao Tianjian: "General Xiao, I really convinced you!" Not to mention anything else, with this marching speed, there are really not many people in the world who can compare to our Heavenly Army! Brothers, look at our big boss and go with us, don't fucking disgrace me, get up, even if you climb, you will fucking climb to the ancient town! ”

People breathe a sigh of relief, these tired guys, look at even Xiao Tianjian's big palm, they are marching on foot like them, there is nothing unbalanced in this heart, and the big guys are all people, look at the veterans of the Xingtian Army, although they are tired and panting like a cow, but they are still gritting their teeth, insisting on striding forward, and they are tired of lying on the ground, thinking about it also feels ashamed, so they gritted their teeth one by one and climbed up, and under the encouragement of Xiao Tianjian, they once again stepped forward.

Along the way, after noon, they turned around and went down along the Yun River, under the alluvium of the river valley, a lot of fertile land was formed, so gradually there were more farmland here, and on the road began to see some farmers who were working in the farmland.

And Xingtianjun didn't pay attention to these passers-by at all, scared them away, just lowered his head and hurried forward, and the villages he passed along the way were not entered, but he continued to hurry.

The saying that Wangshan runs a dead horse is not bad, in such traffic conditions, it is clear that the road under the mountain is at the foot, but when you get there, you have to walk several miles or even more than ten miles to arrive, this kind of march is not easy for anyone, especially the slightly weaker body, and when you go to the ancient town, you almost feel like you are going to die, and you have fallen to the ground, saying that you can't get up.

(Again asking for votes, thank you!) ）
