At this time, Zheng turned over on his horse, waved his arm, and shouted: "Brothers, go." After speaking, he took the lead and went straight to the Songfeng Pass in front of him, supported by the leader of the mountain bandits.

And the army of 15,000 bandits behind him was also taking dull steps, closely following the horse of his alliance leader, and quickly marched towards Songfengkou.

Soon, Zheng led the army of bandits into the valley of Songfengkou, in order to fear that the imperial court would arrange soldiers and horses to ambush them here, Zheng also specially sent Liu Chengfeng, so that he could lead hundreds of elite masters to rush to the front to explore the way.

However, when they walked carefully in it for more than an hour, they did not find any unusual movement on the mountains on both sides of the valley, at that moment, Zheng couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, and shouted a false alarm, knowing that if there was no ambush here, then he still cared about what to do so much, and directly rushed out with the whole army speeding up.

In fact, the imperial court had already arranged an ambush at Songfengkou, and the ambush soldiers were the thousands of cavalry, but those thousands of cavalry had now been wiped out by the whole army of the Zheng gang, so they never saw any ambushes when they came to Songfengkou at the moment.

After leading the army of bandits out of the Songfeng Pass, the sky was completely bright, and the sun had slowly risen from the east, shining on everyone's bodies, warm.

At this time, Zheng sat on the horse and estimated the time, and found that it would not be more than eight o'clock in the morning at most, and now out of the Songfeng Pass, at most more than thirty miles forward, you can reach the city of Jinzhou.

If, on the way to the march, there is no accident, it is entirely possible that they will be killed under the city of Jinzhou before twelve o'clock in the afternoon.

Thinking that in a few hours, he can lead the army of bandits to Jinzhou City, and then break through Jinzhou City at all costs, and then rescue Sanniang, then this campaign can be successfully ended, when the time comes, when the army returns to the desolate, he will lead the fifteen thousand bandits, and loot the official grain depot, silver depot and armory depot in Jinzhou City.

When the time comes, he will return triumphantly with a full load, and the minions who stayed in the cottage will probably boil again when they see this scene.

Thinking of Deng Sanniang, who he hadn't seen for several months, was very likely to be trapped in Jinzhou City at this moment, suffering from the torture and mistreatment of the imperial court eagle dogs, Zheng's heart burned with rage, and his subordinates tightly held the sachet given to him by Deng Sanniang, slowly narrowed his eyes, and muttered: "Sanniang, hold on, I'll be here soon." At the same time, a cold light gradually appeared in his eyes, and he looked up in the direction of Jinzhou City, and the killing intent in his eyes became more and more vigorous, "The woman who dares to hurt me, Bai Muchou, this time, you will definitely die." ”

After exiting the Songfeng Pass, the next road and terrain gradually flattened, which also invisibly accelerated the speed of the bandits' march.

At this time, Zheng sat on horseback, silently estimating in his heart that if he kept moving at this speed, he would probably arrive at Jinzhou City in less than two hours.

In the next two hours, Zheng led the army of bandits, conquered two small towns along the way, and finally, at eleven o'clock in the afternoon, came to Wuwangpo, which was only ten miles away from Jinzhou City.

The name of Wuwangpo seems to be a hillside, but in fact, the place is not a hillside, but a relatively gentle slope.

Since coming out of the Songfeng Pass, Zheng has strangely found that although the road is overgrown with weeds, but the mountains are all over the field, there is indeed not a decent big tree, even the larger stones have not been seen, and everywhere he passes, whether it is on the roadside or on the mountain, there are all bare stakes that have been cut down, leaving countless wooden stakes everywhere, those wooden stakes are black and black, and they are covered with moss, and some have begun to rot.

Seeing this scene, Zheng couldn't help but be surprised, and immediately asked Liu Chengfeng beside him, asking him why outside Jinzhou City, dozens of miles in a radius, is so barren and grassless.

When Liu Chengfeng heard this, he laughed and said that this Jinzhou City is a military fortress in the northwest, and the officers and soldiers defending the city in order to prevent the enemy from attacking the city, they built camps and siege equipment outside the city with local materials, so the generals and officials in Jinzhou City implemented the strategy of clearing the wilderness, and these strategies made by the imperial court were to enhance the difficulty of the enemy's siege and reduce the defensive pressure of the officers and soldiers defending the city.

Finally, he also said that not only is there a policy of clearing the fields outside the city of Jinzhou, but even some other important military towns have strictly followed the instructions of the imperial court to carry out the strategy of clearing the fields outside the city.

Listening to Liu Chengfeng's explanation, Zheng Fang suddenly realized, and shouted again and again: "It turns out to be so, it turns out to be so." ”

At this time, Zheng's army of bandits has successfully come to the bottom of Wuwang Slope, as long as you climb over this slope that is about two miles wide, and after going down the slope, you can clearly see Jinzhou City eight miles away.

Just when Zheng led the men and horses uphill, suddenly, the scout horse in front of him, who was in charge of exploring the way, was galloping back quickly.

I saw that the mountain bandit scouted the horse and came to Zheng's front and back, so he turned over and dismounted in a dashing manner, and after saluting respectfully, he said with a solemn expression: "Tell the alliance leader, at the foot of the Wuwang Slope three miles ahead, a large number of court officers and soldiers were found. ”

Hearing this, the leaders of the mountain bandits looked dazed, and Zheng pondered slightly for a moment, and said, "How many soldiers and horses, what kind of troops." ”

The mountain bandit thought for a while and said, "Judging from the armor and banners of the officers and soldiers, the subordinates should be the regular army in Jinzhou City, and the total number of soldiers and horses should be no less than 30,000. ”

"Thirty thousand. ”

Zheng raised his eyebrows, and smiled coldly: "In order to deal with us, the imperial court has really invested a lot of money, first sent thousands of cavalry to ambush us, and now it has sent 30,000 elite regular troops to stop us. ”

At this time, Liu Chengfeng, who was standing on the side, suddenly spoke: "Alliance leader, then what should we do next." ”

Zheng bowed his head and groaned, and said, "Order all the horses to stop advancing and prepare for battle." At the same time, he turned to the scout who had come to report the news and instructed: "Continue to the front to investigate, and if you find any unusual behavior of the officers and soldiers, come back and report to me in time." ”

"Yes, Alliance. ”

After receiving Zheng's order, the mountain bandit turned over and mounted his horse again and returned to continue to investigate the military situation.
