Chapter 179: Wu'an Recovered

For the first time, Wang Huifang, the leader of the Good Friends Association, saw what a real Tianqiang army is!

There was only a queue of more than 1,000 people, but it gave him the feeling that he was facing the city wall of Wu'an during the previous siege. Even the most fanatical Buddhist soldiers on weekdays, who are not afraid of death, take turns to pounce, but they can't make the soldiers on the opposite side shake in the slightest. Those city guards who were as resolute as a reef just waved the blades in their hands with calm and calm faces, skillfully harvesting fragile lives.

In the screams one after another, the blood drops on the knife and the raindrops falling from the sky were mixed together, making it difficult to distinguish them.

This line of defense cannot be broken!

No matter how desperately Wang Huifang urged, or even Xiang Hua personally led the team, it was difficult to shake this elite army. Even if there is an occasional small breakthrough, it will be quickly pushed back by the follow-up officers and troops. If it weren't for the dozens of corpses of officers and soldiers on the ground, which proved that the Good Friends Association was not for nothing, Wang Huifang would have suspected that these officers and soldiers in front of him would not have been able to kill at all.

The battle lasted half an hour.

The torches lit on both sides, and the light gradually dimmed. The city guards did not waver, but the Dharma Protector Buddha soldiers on the side of the Good Friends Association were in a commotion. The continuous casualties have made them almost hold on to the limit.

A screeching sound of metal grinding sounded.

The iron gate slowly rose, and the sealed city gate was only one last step away from reopening, and the generals of the Lin family had already cheered loudly.

Seeing that a large number of city guards were about to swarm in from outside the city, Wang Huifang knew that his foundation had just begun and was already coming to an end.

"No wonder Chen Wu's gang didn't even dare to fight, so he fled directly......"

He muttered a few words to himself in despair, watching the Dharma Protector Buddha soldiers in front of him become fewer and fewer, and suddenly he was smart. Stretched out his hand to wipe the rain from his face, took a few henchmen and fled. Now, the gates of Wu'an have not all fallen, and he still has the opportunity to lead the horse team to break through the chaos overnight...... Take with you the riches you've looted!

As long as people don't die, there is always a chance to make a comeback!

Without Wang Huifang's personal control, the resistance of the Good Friends Society quickly weakened. With the city guards entering the city from the northwest two gates, it is only a matter of time before Wu'an City recovers. Most of the Friends of Good Faith are like headless flies, fleeing everywhere. Only a few are still resisting on the spot, but only in their death throes.

After a night of chaos, the big picture is decided!

"The officers and soldiers are back!"

When the sky was about to dawn, the news that the emperor* had entered the city and the rebellious army was exterminated, and the news spread like lightning throughout the city, attracting countless cheers. Shen Haoen, the commander of the city guard army, also met Lin Anhe, the head of the Lin family, as well as the Shangguan family, the Zhang family, and the governor Qian Boming in the Lin Mansion, which was safe and sound.

"It's great that you're all right!"

Shen Haoen let out a sigh of relief, the joy and relief on his face came from the heart.

As long as nothing happens to these big people in Wu'an, order in Wu'an City and even in the entire Taiping County can be quickly restored. I can also add three points to my great contribution to countering the rebellion this time, and I can't say that I will be promoted to a higher position when I go back.

"Thank you, General Shen! If it weren't for the rapid arrival of the city guards, the outcome would be difficult to say. After the Taiping Rebellion is resolved, my Lin family will inevitably go to the empire and ask General Shen for credit on behalf of the 300,000 people of Wu'an! ”

"The Zhang family will also be in the book!"

"Today's dinner, we will invite General Shen and all the soldiers of the city guards, please enjoy the light."

Several major families expressed their gratitude, which made Shen Haoen feel good, and he said a few words of humility happily, and in turn began to praise the family for their cooperation in the battle last night. Without the heroic fighting of the family's private soldiers, the city guards would have to spend a lot of more time and feet.

The two sides praised each other for a few words, and for a while the atmosphere was very goodreads();。

At this time, the hand rushed to report, and after listening to the other party's whisper, Shen Haoen's face was solemn, and he asked: "I just received the news that Wang Huifang, the thief leader of the Good Friends Association, fled last night and disappeared. I have sent people to hunt down a few of the fish that have slipped through the net, and I don't think they will be able to make it again. But what about the main force of the Taiping bandit army? ”

"There is news that the Taiping bandit army had already attacked Dongguanfu in the east before General Shen arrived."

The Lin family spoke out about the facts that were almost universally known in the city.

Shen Haoen already knew this news, but he always felt a little difficult to understand, so he wanted to ask the family if he knew anything inside. Seeing that their opinions were the same, Shen Haoen could only think that the Taiping bandit army had really taken a stupid move. After the initial pacification of the city, the commander led a division with a total of 13,000 men and began to follow the Taiping army to the east to rescue Dongguanfu.

Kang He, who wanted to avenge his revenge, volunteered and chose to walk with the city guards.

At the same time, Wu Anjie reported that the news of being unharmed in the city was also sent to Zhongzhou and the surrounding counties in an expedited manner of 600 miles.

Although the Taiping army has not yet been eliminated, the eye shape is already clear. Even the rebels in Wu'an City were wiped out overnight, let alone the 10,000 rebels who left early. What they have to think about is how to repatriate the displaced people and get the ruined Taiping County back on track!

………

"Another big car has a broken axle!"

In the misguided mountain road, a cart full of supplies struggling to move forward sank sharply, lying on its stomach and not moving. Because the hemp rope that tied the grain bales was loose, several bales of grain almost rolled off and pressed against the feet of the rebels next to them.

"There have been seven or eight big cars in accidents today alone, right? At that time, the person who supervised the construction of the cart was not careful! ”

A coachman couldn't help but complain in a low voice, crossed his hands on his waist, straightened up and took the opportunity to steal a lazy moment.

"Why don't you care? The wood used is all good wood, and the carpenter is also a skilled master in Wu'an City. It's not because this mountain road is too difficult to walk and there are many pulls, that it breaks down so quickly! Alas, I don't know what the general thinks, if you don't take a good road, you have to drill into this deep mountain and old forest. ”

"Hey, what are you two in a daze! Untie the pack horse and push the cart to the side of the road, where hundreds of cars are waiting for you! ”

"Here it is."

With the sound of the trumpet, five or six people worked together, and the cart was barely pushed away, giving way to continue moving. Soon, a carpenter hurried in with tools and materials to try to repair it.

More carts took the opportunity to pass by, and the efficiency was as slow as a snail.

At this rate, even if you drill in the mountains for three or five months, you will never want to cross this Bayan Mountain.

"Ugh."

The driver who had complained earlier couldn't help but sigh again.

Perhaps because of exhaustion, and the cover of withered leaves, he didn't notice a poisonous spider the size of a child's fist hanging from the branch next to him. By the time he vaguely felt something, it was too late. The poisonous spider bit him violently, and almost instantly, the bite turned purple, swollen into a large bag, painful and itchy, and looked shocking.

"Oops!"

The coachman couldn't help but scream in pain, and consciously reached out to scratch it, but was stopped by his companion who rushed to reads();. Before entering the mountain, the rebels repeatedly explained that this wound could not be scratched, and the more they scratched, the more difficult it was to treat. In case a large piece of skin is scratched, and it may even suppurate, then the outcome is dangerous.

"Someone has been bitten here!"

With the shouting, a captain rushed over, carefully picked out the pus, applied it with the finished medicine powder sent in advance, wrapped it in a clean white cloth belt, and tied an unsightly knot at willβ€”all the cloth belts were required to be boiled and sterilized in boiling water. Although no one understands why, it is said that it was ordered by General Tiangong himself.

"Tap tap ......"

Maybe it was the effect of the medicinal powder, or maybe the captain tied the knot too hard in the end, and the wound was so hot that the coachman couldn't help but cry out.

"Can't stand the pain a little?" The captain shook his head and sighed, "You can be content, stinging your poisonous spider is not fatal." Yesterday during the march and rest at night, some people did not come according to the regulations, and as a result, several were poisoned by poisonous scorpions and wasps, and one is still in a coma. It's also a shame that the snake doesn't come out in winter, otherwise, hum. ”

"That's not bad...... Anyway, I can lie on the grain bag of the cart. ”

The coachman muttered to himself while angrily searching for the poisonous spider that no longer knew where to run.

It's a pity that his words were accidentally heard by the captain next to him, and he scolded with a smile: "You lazy, if you are not afraid of death, you can try it!" ”

The coachman pouted and stopped talking.

Compared with a little bit of tiredness and a small life, he can still distinguish the weight. What's more, the big car doesn't have any shock absorption, even if it lies on the grain bag, it will definitely not be comfortable, and it is good if the head does not come out of a bag.

After tossing for a long time, at noon, the damaged cart was finally repaired. The people put the grain back on and pushed them back on the road, put the pack horses on again, and began to chase after them in a hurry.

Actually, it's not a few steps behind.

It took time for the engineering battalion to open the way, and the rebel squad, looking for traces along the way and leaving a guide to guide the way, even faintly heard the noise, rushed less than a mile before catching up with the tail of the army again.

Because the route of the march could not be too far from the water source, and the convoy had to be taken into account, Chen Wu had been advancing along the foothills of the Bayan Mountains for the past few days, and the route was roughly in a wavy shape. Extrapolating from the stream not far away and the outermost peak of Bayan Mountain, Chen Wu knew that it would only take three more days to enter the entrance of the HSBC promenade.

After estimating the progress and looking at the sky again, Chen Wu looked at the appropriateness and reached the order to camp.

Camping in the Bayan Mountains is definitely a very hard and dangerous job.

According to Chen Wu's request, the army looked for as flat a place as possible and began to set fire to the forest.

On the ground, the thick dead branches and leaves look very soft, but if someone dares to sleep directly, they are afraid that they will die in a dream, or be bitten by poisonous insects and infected with unknown parasites. After burning a clearing with fire, the situation will be much better. Chen Wu must be glad that they entered the Bayan Mountains in winter. If it is in the summer, the difficulty of the army crossing will only increase exponentially.

Of course, it is also important to set fire to the open space, otherwise if you start a forest fire and burn your 10,000 horses into it, it will be ridiculous for 10,000 years.

This kind of stupid thing, in the early stage of the service before the crossing, there were ten or eight player guilds to do it. After being posted to the forum and being ridiculed and beaten by all players on the server, no one dared to be careless anymore.
