North of Anshi State, unnamed hills.

The official road stretches out from the open part of the low hill into the distance, the official road is lined with not dense woods, the trunks of the trees are bare, there is snow on them, the ground is white, there is no green in sight, behind the hillside, a few heads are poking out, vigilantly staring at the official road ahead.

Cheng Chumo was among them, since he found the 10,000 troops who rushed to support, he showed his identity, took out the military order, and obtained the command of the army, so he took the troops around, walked along the coast, and quietly touched the west of Anshi Prefecture, detoured to the north overnight, and hid in the woods on both sides of the official road.

Robbing grain, naturally it is to find a place that the enemy can't think of to start, as for whether there is any danger in getting close to Anshi Prefecture, Cheng Chumo doesn't care at all, he is originally a master who is not afraid of heaven and earth, the demon king of the mixed world, and he has been fighting with Qin Huaidao for more than two months, and he is even bolder.

A lieutenant said in a low voice: "General Cheng, is it really okay for us to stay here?" ”

"What could be the problem?" Cheng Chumo asked rhetorically, and seeing that the other party was worried, he explained: "The Goguryeo army has already besieged Liaodong City, and the troops were sent suddenly, and Liaodong City was not given a chance to react at all. ”

"If you don't shake the morale of the army, it's really too unbelievable, how could the enemy not think that someone would rob them of the grain channel?" The lieutenant said bluntly, his eyes full of worry.

If it had been left in the past, Cheng Chumo would definitely slap the past, but after talking to Lao Qin Huaidao, he was exposed to it, empathized, and his temper calmed down a lot, and he patiently explained: "Normally, I would worry about hijacking the grain road, but now is an abnormal period. ”

"How?" The other party asked, and the other lieutenants also looked over.

Cheng Chumo knew that if he wanted to gain everyone's trust, he had to convince everyone, and continued to explain: "First of all, the enemy army thinks that our army is all surrounded by Liaodong City, and second, even if there are reinforcements, they will not arrive so quickly, if you are not notified in advance, you can arrive at the battlefield so quickly? ”

Everyone shook their heads, and some of them reacted.

Cheng Chumo continued: "The enemy can think that the imperial court will send troops to hijack the grain road, but he can't think of it so fast, this is the opportunity, the third point, the enemy army besieging Liaodong City consumes a lot of food every day, and the five cities in the north are too busy to take care of themselves, so they can only transfer grain from Anshi Prefecture, that is, the front official road, and the enemy will pay attention to protection in a few days, not in these two days, a great opportunity, you can't miss it." ”

"It makes sense, it's just to play a time difference, betting that the enemy doesn't know that we have arrived at the battlefield and have come to the vicinity of Anshi Prefecture." One lieutenant agreed.

Everyone nodded one after another, the worries were gone, Cheng Chu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and asked: "What questions do you have, if not, return to their respective posts, prepare for battle, once the battle starts, there is only one requirement, the archers rush to the front, solve the enemy archers first, and the others can't lag behind, rush up as fast as possible, quickly decide, retreat to the latter, and behead." ”

"Obey." Everyone felt Cheng Chumo's strong killing intent and hurriedly agreed.

Cheng Chumo also had no choice, it was the first time to lead the army alone, and it was an unfamiliar army, so he could only pay equal attention to grace and might, and added: "The herald army, a head is always silver, and there is no way to live." ”

"General Xie!" Everyone's eyes lit up and they smiled, who doesn't like silver?

A general who is willing to work for the welfare of his subordinates is more likely to live and be recognized by everyone, at this moment, everyone's minds have changed a little, and one of the lieutenants asked: "General Cheng, who will take the lead?" ”

Taking the lead means to strike first, and it also means killing the most enemies, rewarding the most silver, and the others pricked up their ears when they heard it, ready to scramble, Cheng Chu waved his hand to signal everyone not to fight, and said in a deep voice: "There is no main attack, secondary attack, all are the main attack, do it together, how much reward you can earn depends on everyone." ”

Please be as good as the agitation!

"General Xie Cheng!" The eyes of the people lit up, and they became excited, and they went down one after another to give orders.

Soon, the order spread, and the eyes of the soldiers changed, fighting is a matter of duty, and you can make money while doing your duty, who would think that there is more money? All of a sudden, morale soared.

Not long after, a long queue appeared on the official road, the distance was still a little far, and it was not real, Cheng Chumo was overjoyed, knowing that the enemy's food team was coming, and hurriedly advised: "Pass the order, hide it, don't show your head, don't make a sound, wait for my order to move again, if anyone is exposed in advance, there will be no mercy." ”

The order was passed down layer by layer, and everyone did not dare to be careless and waited solemnly.

After waiting for a while, the grain convoy came, a hundred carts, the line was very long, the wagons were full of bags, there were about a thousand people in front of the procession, there were about a thousand people in the middle of the procession, and there were about a thousand people behind the team, all of them were cavalry.

The escort of 3,000 cavalry is already very important.

Ordinary people didn't dare to move at all, but everyone laughed, their eyes were bright, the heads were all silver, everyone 10,000 people, dealing with 3,000 people, or a sneak attack, there is no reason not to succeed, Cheng Chumo also breathed a sigh of relief, if a thousand people are dispatched to escort them, they still need to be afraid, it may be a bait, but three thousand people are different.

Generally speaking, the number of troops sent out to hijack the grain route is about three to five thousand, not too many, too many targets are large, easy to expose, and they will generally not do it when they see 3,000 people escorting, so the grain team escorted by 3,000 people cannot be a bait and will scare away the opponent.

If it weren't for the siege of Liaodong City, the army would not be able to enter the city, and Qin Huaidao would not have let all 10,000 people come over.

Seeing the long grain team entering the nearby circle, Cheng Chumo's whole person became excited, if he won it, it would become the first battle feat of the independent leader, and he would have the opportunity to really lead the army independently in the future, and the hand holding the horse lance was shaking, and he couldn't wait to rush over immediately.

After waiting patiently for a while, seeing that the enemy's vanguard did not send troops into the forest to search, he swaggered forward, everything was as he expected, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and everyone should not move.

Seeing that the enemy army was really relaxed, and they were not even afraid of basic reconnaissance, obviously thinking that no one would ambush them, they all smiled excitedly, their confidence was greatly increased, and they hurriedly pacified their respective troops and hid so as not to destroy the opportunity.

After waiting for a while, the long grain convoy all entered the ambush circle, Cheng Chu smiled silently, his eyes were beating with a strong killing intent, and he suddenly got up and rushed forward, everyone also rushed forward, no one spoke, like a killing god out of hell, indifferent and fierce.

As for the war horses, fearing exposure, they hid farther away.

The snow rustled down, tens of thousands of footsteps gathered together, and spread far away, Cheng Chumo knew that it would be exposed in advance, what he could do was to speed up, shorten the distance before exposure, and couldn't help but speed up a little, and the captains saw Cheng silently speeding up, and also commanded the troops to speed up, and rushed forward one by one.

The distance was only five or six hundred meters, everyone rushed up, the archers were in front, they had already drawn their bows and arrows, ready to shoot, and when they rushed to about two hundred meters, the grain transport team that was rushing heard the movement and looked over, and found that it was a sneak attack, and the generals shouted orders.

The grain transport team pulled very long, and it was too late to surround the carriage around the city, and the escort team rushed up with horses and tried to block it, but it took time for the horses to accelerate, and the distance between the two sides was shortened to about 100 meters, and the archers decisively drew their bows and shot out the feather arrows.

A dense rain of arrows fell from the sky, falling on the enemy troops who rushed up to block it, many people screamed and fell off their horses, but they still continued to rush forward, and the horses got faster, but the second round of feather arrows fell again, and because of the closer, the accuracy increased greatly, and more people fell off their horses.

Cheng Chumo rushed to the front, although on foot, but the speed was not slow, galloped away, suddenly jumped high, a horse lance jumped an enemy off, turned over on the horse, swept left and right, and killed two nearby enemies, pulled the horse's head, turned around, and killed the grain team, straight to a general.

The soldiers also swarmed up, slashing the legs of their horses, or avoiding the frontal charge, and swooped down from the side to drag the men down, killing them with a single sword, turning on their horses, and the archers also rushed forward fiercely.

The enemy general saw tens of thousands of people rushing out, all over the mountains, his face changed greatly, and he silently shouted towards Cheng Zhi, who was rushing over: "Who is coming, why are you attacking?" ”

It's a pity that he said Goguryeo, Cheng Chumo couldn't understand it, so he clamped the horse's leg hard, rushed up, and held the horse lance in his hand, and stabbed the horse quickly, so frightened that the other party hurriedly blocked it with a gun.

The two weapons collided violently, making a dull sound, Cheng Chumo felt that the opponent's strength was weaker than his own, and the horse lance turned over and went straight to the opponent's throat, forcing the opponent to quickly block again, but the strength was insufficient, just knocked some, and the horse lance stabbed the opponent's right chest.

"Kill—"

Cheng Chumo roared angrily, screamed with both arms, stabbed hard, pierced the other party's body, and threw it away, the whole person was thrown out, and fell to the ground and lost life on the spot.

One move to pick the enemy general off the horse, Cheng Chu Mo battle like a rainbow, coldly swept the battlefield, the soldiers have rushed up, and the enemy into a group, to fight more and less, plus high morale, firmly gain the upper hand, kill this enemy is only a matter of time, quickly hit the horse and rush up, straight to a general.

The other party sensed the aura of danger and turned his head to look.

The eyes of the two collided in the air, and the killing intent was pervasive.

"Kill—"

Cheng Chumo shouted, the horse lance shot like a dragon, swept over with a terrible sonic boom, the other party hurriedly raised a big knife to block, the two weapons slammed together, a terrifying anti-shock force swept over, Cheng Chumo felt that the opponent's strength was greater than the previous enemy general, but he didn't care, the marksmanship changed suddenly.

"Hugh—"

The next moment, the horse lance came out of the hole like a poisonous snake and went straight to the opponent's waist, and the other party hurriedly blocked again, but Cheng Chumo changed the horse's move, picked the spear head, and went straight to the opponent's throat.

The enemy general never expected that it was just a false move just now, on the side of his body, after avoiding the fatal attack, the big knife slammed back towards Cheng Chumo, Cheng Chumo had already prepared, and the horse lance blocked the big knife that was slashed over, and smashed it down, unstoppable, and the shot was sudden.

The opponent has no time to block with a horizontal knife, the person moves on the horse, there is no way to jump away and dodge, he can only lie low, avoid the head, and use his back to bear this fatal blow.

The life-for-life style of play is the most terrifying!

Cheng Chumo also hit the real fire, and suddenly raised his leg to block the route of the big knife cracking, with a knife tied to the outside of his thigh, learning from Qin Huaidao, at this moment, the knife became a shield, and was slashed by the enemy's big knife, and the power of the explosion swept over, and he almost fell off the horse.

But almost at the same time, Cheng Chumo's horse lance smashed the back of the enemy general, and the blade of the horse lance was as sharp as a knife, cutting through the armor on the opponent's body and cutting off the vertebrae.

"Ahh

The other party screamed and fell off his horse.

Cheng Chumo took the opportunity to rub his thighs, but he also twitched in pain, fortunately, he won the bet, seeing the enemy general struggling to get up, he went up immediately, and stabbed the other party to death with a horse lance. ”

At the sound of an order, the soldiers rose up bravely and accelerated their slashing.

Cheng Chumo rested for a while, waited for his legs to recover a little, and then rushed up, picking up a few officers in three or two, and the battle ended, all three thousand enemies were killed, and even the person in charge of driving the carriage was not left.

"Pass my orders, clean up the battlefield, rescue the wounded, and carry food." Cheng Chumo shouted loudly.

"Obey!" The lieutenants responded one after another and passed down the order.

Cheng Chumo looked at the battlefield, suddenly calculated, and his eyes couldn't help but glance in the direction of Anshi Prefecture, Anshi Prefecture is a small city, with a maximum of 10,000 defenders, and the Goguryeo army besieging Liaodong City, it will definitely draw half of the soldiers and horses from Anshi Prefecture, plus the three thousand here, and the maximum two thousand in the city.

Even if it is 3,000, it can only enter the city and take Anshi Prefecture.

Thinking of the benefits of winning Anshi Prefecture, Cheng Chumo was unsettled, and immediately asked the lieutenants to come over, besieged the city, and said directly: "Brothers, do you have the confidence to do a big deal with me and take Anshi Prefecture." ”

"Huh?"

Everyone took a breath of cold air, and they were all taken aback by Cheng Chumo's audacity, but if they can do it to the captain, no one is a timid master, who doesn't want to make a military merit? Thinking of the credit for winning Anshi Prefecture, he was not decided, and a lieutenant asked: "General Cheng, there should not be many defenders in Anshi Prefecture, even if there are three or five thousand people, they are not afraid, but if they can enter the city, it may be difficult to attack the city." ”

"That's right, the key is how to enter the city, if you can get in, with our strength of three or five thousand people, we are really not afraid, a hard attack requires climbing equipment, and it takes time to build these equipment, and we don't have craftsmen, it's not easy to do, and there will be no chance after a long time." Another lieutenant also said.

"Find out if there are any captives alive, if you can communicate, let a thousand people disguise themselves as enemy soldiers and return to the city, change into enemy equipment, play their banners, get more blood on their bodies, and pretend to be defeated, just say that in case of attack, if we can open the city gate, we will fight, if not, do it?"

"!" When everyone heard this arrangement, they were not stubborn, and they echoed it.

"Find the prisoners quickly, the five of you will lead the troops to change clothes, and the others will carry the food to the woods and hide it, cover it with snow and get it again." Cheng silently ordered five lieutenants.

A captain leads two hundred, five is exactly one thousand, and the captain who was named is overjoyed, this is a great achievement, hurry up and prepare, and if you don't get it, you won't be discouraged, and hurry up to carry the grain.

In less than half an hour, all the grain was hidden, and a thousand people rode war horses, wore enemy battle robes, and marched towards Anshi Prefecture with enemy flags, and found a prisoner who could barely communicate with him, Cheng Chumo was also in the ranks, and the army fell behind, pulling a certain distance.

As for the wounded soldiers, they remained in the woods to guard the booty.

The team rushed forward with a decadent posture of defeat, Cheng Chumo personally sat in charge, and the soldiers seemed to have the backbone, no one was afraid, but they grinded their fists and palms, and they were excited.

Running all the way, unconsciously coming to the vicinity of Anshiju, the team slowed down.

Cheng Chumo looked at the city, the city wall was only twelve or thirteen meters high, the city gate was closed, there were defenders on the city, but there were not many of them, and they didn't seem to be vigilant enough, maybe in their opinion, the opponent had been trapped in Liaodong City and couldn't get out, and Anshi Prefecture was very safe.

A guard shouted a few words in a loud voice, but Cheng Chumo couldn't understand it, and whispered to the captive: "Be honest, you can still live, or I'll kill you, understand?" ”

The other party hurriedly nodded, accompanied the careful agreement, and shouted a few words loudly.

Cheng Chumo was worried about the other party's deception, carefully observed the defenders on the city wall, and saw that the other party asked the captive a few words in an unbelievable way, and then disappeared, but there was no sign of the city gate opening, Cheng Chumo was furious, and his fierce gaze locked on the captive.

The other party's face changed in fright, and he quickly explained: "According to what you said...... He didn't believe it...... No way. ”

"You'd better pray for Thaksin, or you know the consequences." Cheng Chumo said coldly, it was a pity to miss such a good opportunity, thinking of Fang Yiai and Li Dejian's expansion in the north, the ambition in his heart was difficult to suppress, and a pair of sharp eyes stared at the city.

The gates were closed, and the silence was eerie.

The defenders at the head of the city looked at it curiously, there was no intention of fighting, Cheng Chumo couldn't see through it, if he doubted it, he would fight directly, what would it be if he didn't fight or open the city gate? Is it possible to run and report it?

Soon, a middle-aged man appeared at the head of the city, wearing an official uniform, and shouted imposingly: "Which of you is the biggest? Come out and answer. ”

Cheng Chu silently signaled the captive to come forward, and he followed, ready to shoot at any time, while threatening in a low voice: "If you want to live, be honest, what he asks, translate it." ”

He asked the biggest official in the house to come forward and answer. The captive hurriedly said.

Cheng Chumo thought of this question before he came, and whispered: "Except for you wearing the battle armor of the team, the others are ordinary soldiers' battle armor, you say that you are the biggest here, you are the team leader, and the other generals have been killed." ”

"But I'm not on the team." The other party was a little flustered.

"It's your team's name." Cheng Chumo told that the status of the captain is high, the popularity must be greater, the fake is easy to be recognized, the team is different, the number is large, there is not much status, and it is not easy to be remembered.

The captive heard the official at the head of the city ask for his identity, and hurriedly reported a name according to Cheng Chumo's explanation, the name is real, and he is not afraid to check, but the person is already dead, as for whether the name and the person can match, it depends on whether the defenders really know the team that came out.

If you really want to know, that is fate, and you can only give up.

Cheng Chumo carefully observed the middle-aged man at the head of the city, the other party was obviously a cautious person, asked a few words, did not understand, looked at the captive, the captive hurriedly whispered: "He is asking about the situation in the army and verifying his identity." ”

"Tell the truth!"

The captive nodded, and quickly spoke.

Not long after, the middle-aged man disappeared out of sight, Cheng Chumo didn't know whether he was confused or not, waited patiently, a heart became nervous, and when he saw the city gate slowly open, he was suddenly ecstatic, and his heart was raised to his throat, for fear that the enemy would close it again, and whispered: "Don't move, don't draw a knife, wait." ”

The soldiers were also very excited, and many of them almost drew their swords, but they quickly held back when they heard the reminder.

The captive looked over and asked nervously, "What do you say?" ”

"Of course it counts, there's no point in killing you, wait for our army to charge, and you will leave on your own." Cheng Chu silently confessed that a prisoner who had helped him couldn't do it.

Seeing that Cheng Chumo was not like coaxing himself, the captive dispelled the idea of warning and waited with peace of mind.

Cheng Chumo didn't know that it was almost bad, stared at the open city gate tightly, suppressed his excitement and said: "Brothers, pretend to be some, enter the city, don't touch the knife without an order, go." ”

Everyone rushed forward, looking defeated, as if they had really suffered defeat.

When they arrived at the city gate, more than a dozen people came out to interrogate, and Cheng Chumo knew that it was almost over, so he decisively ordered: "Brothers, kill in and seize the city gate." ”

The next moment, Cheng Chumo clamped the horse's belly with his legs, rushed up with a horse, killed one person with a horse lance, fought back, cracked another one, turned over and dismounted, the horse lance stood up, swept thousands of troops, knocked several flying, like the god of war possessed, guarding the gate.

The soldiers also rushed in, cut down people when they saw them, and instantly cleaned up the enemy at the door.

Cheng Chu silently shouted: "Two regiments attacked the head of the city, and the others blocked the front. ”

A regiment of 200 people, with a captain.

The five lieutenants heard Cheng Chumo's order to act quickly, and the two regiments of men and horses rushed to the city, the city head was narrow, and it was useless to have many people, but if it was not cleared, the enemy would be able to shoot arrows at the city, and the others quickly rushed up and waited for the battle, Cheng Chumo pulled a soldier and admonished: "You, go back and give the order, let the army come quickly." ”

"Obey!" The other party pulled the horse's head and rushed out of the city.

Although the army followed in the rear, it was finally safe to urge it, and it was not easy to open the city gate, but it was a pity to lose it.

Cheng Chumo strode forward, came to the front of the three regiments of people and horses blocking the street, holding a horse lance, majestic, excited in his heart, the fruits of victory are in sight, and he must not be lost, and shouted: "Soldiers, the city has been opened, whether you can take it depends on whether you can defend it until the army arrives, for the sake of the Tang Dynasty, fight to the death and do not retreat." ”

"Fight to the death!" The soldiers shouted in unison, and their morale was instantly ignited.

On the streets, the people of the city shouted and screamed in fright when they saw the sudden arrival of the army, panicked, turned around and ran, and soon the spacious streets were empty, and even the shops were closed in doors and windows, regardless of the outcropping.

A cold killing intent erupted instantly.

The defenders at the head of the city were also caught off guard and retreated, but the soldiers did not chase and kill, but built defenses on the spot, stretched their bows and arrows, and waited solemnly.

Everything is based on guarding the city gates.

Soon, there was a dense sound of footsteps, accompanied by the grinding of the armor.

Immediately afterwards, an army rushed over, but the street was so wide that there were too many people to show it, and Cheng Zhi Mo Ma was very strong, majestic and arrogant, and shouted: "Brothers, a head has always been silver, how much you can earn depends on yours, kill——"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

One by one, they were ecstatic and roared in unison, and their eyes turned red instantly.
