The silence in the mountains and wilderness of Xunzhou, in the midst of desolation and decay, was once again broken and scattered by the galloping horse caravans.

Liu Liumao, the deputy of the pro-cavalry team from the main formation of the Fury Wind Battalion, was attached to the galloping horses, and for their actions this time, he even equipped them with enough one person, two horses and two saddles to ensure the basic uninterrupted rotation rest and marching process;

This time he was tasked with a mission that was in a sense of a decisive nature; is to rush to Changle County at all costs; Even if they are all folded there or dead, and there is only one person or one breath left, make sure that you can pick up the target person.

In the words of the head Wang Pan before leaving, it doesn't matter if the rear team is dead or lost, as long as there is that monk, a large number can be recreated; But if this monk's camp management was damaged in the slightest, then the Fury Wind Camp might lose more than a few rear team members and those baggage.

Therefore, he had already set out and hurried over day and night, and it took him a whole day to complete the march of the previous brigade of men and horses, and it took him two days and one night to complete; After turning a group of hills and breaking through and dispersing, I don't know if it was a temporary checkpoint set up by the first few soil groups, I saw the boundary stone that represented the territory of Changle County.

However, after they had to slow down and walk slowly into the night, fireworks and fighting sounds were rising in the distance, which made him panic again, obviously he was still a step late, and he didn't know if he could catch the last chance.

。。。。。。

In Changle County, Zhou Huai'an, who had just been woken up from his sleep in a panic, only felt that his luck was a little weak.

In such a night, the wall, which had been repaired and strengthened during the day, was broken through in this way; Then he flew for a long time before he figured out the general situation of the matter in the midst of a rambling report;

Most of the last night had been fine, but in the brief moment before dawn, when one of the most fatigued moments, an officer and soldier climbed up from a crack in the wall.

And the shortcomings of Changle County's short, cramped and obvious lack of manpower were also seriously exposed at this moment. Because only the basic sentry posts were left at the head of the city, as a result, they were not even able to send out a message or warning, so they were wiped out and more enemies dragged each other up the city wall with ropes;

When they were awakened, several patrols rushed over one after another, but they were all defeated or repelled by the other party who occupied part of the city defense. As a result, these retreating soldiers were not restrained and shouted everywhere, which aggravated the subsequent chaos and situation.

By the time Zhou Huai'an regrouped, this part of the city wall had been firmly occupied by this rather formidable enemy; Even under the cover of concentrating all the bows and crossbows, several attacks led by Lao Guan and Cheng Da Biting took turns to attack, but they were firmly blocked by the other party under the city and on the edge of the laneway.

In addition to shooting and killing a few enemies who were not able to show their heads, on the contrary, they lost more than 20 more men on the stairs and aisles, and Liang Laoguan and Cheng Da Bites also suffered several wounds one after another, and had to retreat and bandage, temporarily losing their further melee ability; And after this step, even the rebel soldiers in those guards inevitably showed some signs of pessimism, disappointment and low morale.

In this unfavorable situation, those originally armed people and local Ding Zhuang, and even some people began to sneak away and desert one after another, they lost their weapons in groups, spontaneously took off their uniform vests, and scattered to hide in the urban neighborhoods, as if they were ready to accept the next result and fate.

And at this moment, Zhou Huai'an had to doubt his own efforts and ability, did he really want to capsize here, and he was going to overturn the scene when he was wandering in the wilderness.

"Damn it"

He gritted his teeth so hard that he almost oozed blood, and walked around the spot several times like a trapped beast; But they are at a loss to think of any countermeasures and means to change the current situation.

The other party condescendingly occupied the upper hand, and used the corpses of the killed rebels as fortifications, covered the inner side of the city wall, blocked the aisles with messy things, and tried to make fires to create smoke, affecting and destroying the accuracy and hits of the crossbows, which seemed to be a long-term defensive situation.

There was also a disturbing noise in the opening of the door under the wall they occupied, apparently someone had taken the opportunity to dig up the earth and rocks that had filled the back of the gate, and to give the enemy outside the city a way through; And the other party's relatively uniform blue uniform color and relatively neat and orderly deployment also prove to some extent that this is no longer those scattered Tutuan soldiers, but an obvious officer and army arm.

It can be said that all kinds of unfavorable factors gathered together at this moment, and appeared in front of Zhou Huai'an at the same time. In the end, he still sighed heavily, even though his facial expression was tense; The knowledge and ability of my own half-tone military history house, when encountering real problems and dilemmas, is it obviously not enough?

But he was really a little unwilling, he was so easy to do something here, and he also found some sense of establishing a system and charter, and even managing his personal power and influence, but he had to give up completely; This kind of depressed mood of ups and downs between gains and losses makes him want to vomit blood.

At this time, a voice of persuasion sounded beside him,

"Steward, it looks like things are out of control."

This is a team with a solemn face but hanging his arms.

"That's right, Pipehead, you should go first"

Cheng Da, who limped over, bit and was also throbbing.

Although most of the direct teams and apprentices were still gathered in his vicinity, and it would not be a problem to rely on them to get out of here, it also meant that most of the feared acquaintances and supplies, including the wounded, had to be completely abandoned.

"Just let me take someone to rush again and divert the attention of these official dogs."

"You just took someone out of the West Gate and went straight to find the head and the main formation."

"Bring all the animals that can be ridden with you."

"We don't need it anyway."

"That's it. It is.. ”

"It's also worth it to be able to use this to pick up the cheap life several times and give the pipe head a chance to get out."

"We're rough men who don't understand anything, and we don't know anything."

"But I'm thinking, you're the one who wants to do big things. You can't fold it here with us."

"You have brought us many benefits, and everyone can see it in their eyes and engrave it in their hearts."

"You have a lot of use for the rebels, but you have to use it ten million times more than our rotten lives that were not starved to death."

"Just let us clear the way for you and take a step forward first. Then, watch how you get up to the ground. ”

"Anyway, we can't run far with these injuries, so let's make money from those thieves and dogs."

At this moment, hearing these heartfelt words, the little calculation and wandering in Zhou Huai's peace of mind had long since disappeared, and only deep emotion and indescribable complex emotions remained.

Yet just as he racked his brains to say something in response to these simple and respectable people; It's like a blessing and a curse, and it's like a house leak that rains overnight; Suddenly a fire and a column of smoke rose in the direction of the county office, which was the station.

Later, a soldier who ran over in a panic to report the news told him that most of the people who were originally in charge of guarding and organizing the labor of the young and strong also gave up their duty and fled on their own;

As a result, those who had lost their restraint began to rush into the county government and grab all kinds of heavy goods piled up there; Then some people took advantage of the chaos and began to try to set fires everywhere in the county office.

Well, now Zhou Huai'an doesn't even have the opportunity and possibility to continue to make a choice.
