The 139th attack on Linjiang County (second watch)
Around eleven o'clock in the afternoon.
Nie Zheng led five thousand dragon and tiger elites to appear outside Maqiao Town.
At this moment, more than a dozen minions who opened the way and sang the trumpet, riding fast horses, galloped into the town in advance.
After entering the streets of the town, they shouted loudly: "I am the Dragon and Tiger Righteous Master, this time I crossed the river, just to expel the Dayue Waikou, and restore my Han county land. ”
"I am the Dragon and Tiger Righteous Master......"
Looking at the town ahead, the streets were empty, all the houses and courtyards, the doors and windows were closed, and the scene was bleak.
Seeing this scene, Nie Zheng frowned and said, "Why is the town empty and so deserted? ”
Jia Xiufang, who followed behind, shook her head and smiled: "I'm afraid that the people in this town are afraid that we are unrighteous teachers, so they hid in advance." ”
Hearing this, Nie Zheng sighed softly and said, "It seems that they are being bullied and scared by those Dayue natives, and now as long as it is a foreign team, it will make them frightened and sensitive." ”
Jia Xiufang nodded and said, "Alliance leader, let's pass by here as soon as possible, if we stay here for too long, it will cause even more panic among the local people." ”
"That makes sense!"
Nie Zheng slowly turned his body and ordered everyone with a stern expression: "Everyone listen to me, from now on, all those who pass through the villages and towns must not make loud noises, and they must not damage the grass and trees of the villagers, if there is a violation, they will be whipped!" ”
"Yes, Alliance Leader!"
Facing Nie Zheng's majestic gaze, everyone was in awe and nodded their heads one after another.
"Let's go, hurry through town!"
Nie Zheng waved his hand and gave an order.
In an instant, the five thousand dragon and tiger elites drove the chariots and horses to quickly pass through Maqiao Town, and disappeared into the distance.
It wasn't until Nie Zheng's team left Maqiao Town for an hour that the ordinary people who were hiding cautiously rushed into the town, and after some vigilant investigation, they released a code, allowing the remaining residents who were still hiding to slowly get out.
After a while, the people living around Maqiao Town came out in an endless stream.
They stood on the road at the entrance of the town, looking at the direction where Nie Zheng's team was going, pointing and discussing, their expressions full of confusion.
At first, when Nie Zheng's team just appeared in Maqiao Town, these local residents, when they saw Nie Zheng's five thousand fierce-looking people, they were all a little frightened, and they hid in the shadows far away and did not dare to come forward.
Although they heard the team and kept shouting the slogans of the Dragon and Tiger Righteous Master and the expulsion of the foreign criminals, they were still nervous and did not dare to show their faces easily.
But after Nie Zheng's team left, the ordinary people in these small towns were surprised to find that this seemingly fierce team seemed to be extremely disciplined.
The place where the team passed, the surrounding crops were intact, and even more, they found that there were dozens of copper coins on their land, and when they looked closely, there was still a letter left on it, which read: I unintentionally stepped on the ridges of the villagers, and I felt very guilty, and in order to apologize, I left a few copper coins for repairs......"
Seeing this scene, the local civilians were stunned.
Especially Lu Lao, with the support of several young clansmen, he slowly came to the intersection, looking at the direction where Nie Zheng's team was going, and the doubts in his eyes became deeper and deeper.
"Dragon and Tiger Righteous Master, who are they? Why is this team so strange, is Annan about to change? ……”
…………
After leaving Maqiao Town, Nie Zheng led the team to continue moving forward.
Along the way, they passed through several villages, but without exception, everywhere they went, it was deserted and silent, empty, except for the occasional vigilant domestic dog, barking at Nie Zheng's team, there was no longer half of the living thing.
To be honest, such a scene made Nie Zheng very unhappy.
Originally, he traveled to Annam in order to expel the Dayue natives who had encroached on this Han land, and then develop it into his own territory.
However, these Han people in Annan County seemed to be full of vigilance against their arrival, and they were not as harmonious as Nie Zheng imagined.
It's also so depressing.
You must know that when Nie Zheng was on earth in his previous life, he saw many anti-Japanese film and television dramas, like those Eighth Route Army entering the city and town, everywhere he went, the local people all beat gongs and drums and welcomed them, as if they were welcoming their relatives.
The joyful and lively scene is simply indescribable.
At that time, the Eighth Route Army also fought foreign invaders to liberate the poor people who were oppressed by the Japanese devils, and now, he Nie Zheng also came to Annan with 5,000 hot-blooded men to expel the Dayue foreign invaders and rescue the local people from the dire situation.
It stands to reason that the two do the same lofty things, why is the treatment between the two worlds different?
What a disappointment!
In Nie Zheng's beautiful imagination, when he led the Dragon and Tiger Righteous Master into Annan, the local people should also beat gongs and drums to welcome him, and then all kinds of fathers and villagers, holding chickens, ducks and fish, came to Nie Zheng with tears in their eyes, shouting Chief, please accept our hearts, we can look forward to you.
However, as a result, hey! ……
Nie Zheng sighed secretly, and said in his heart, the plan to capture Annan has a long way to go.
In the coming days, he not only had to expel all the Da Yue natives, but more importantly, he had to gain the trust of the people of Annam.
Only by gaining the support and love of all the local Han people can they take root in Annan County and develop and grow thoroughly.
Otherwise, without the support and support of the local people, no matter what they do in the future, they will not be able to move an inch.
…………
Sunset dusk, sunset shone.
The remnant sun on the edge of the sky gradually sank under the distant horizon, and slowly, the gray and thick city wall of Linjiang County in the distance slowly appeared in everyone's sight.
At this moment, under Nie Zheng's order, five thousand dragon and tiger elites suddenly spread across the field like a tide.
Nie Zheng sat on the horse, his eyes slightly closed, and his expression was extremely grim.
Dozens of leaders such as Shi Zheng, Niu Meng, and Xu Shijie gathered in front of him one after another, bowing down and waiting for his orders.
Suddenly, Nie Zheng opened his eyes suddenly, his eyes flashed, and he ordered in a cold voice: "Governance!" ”
"The subordinates are here!"
"You lead a thousand men and horses to attack the north gate of Linjiang County."
"Yes, Alliance Leader!"
"Xu Shijie, you also lead a thousand men and horses to attack the south gate."
"Subordinates obey!"
"Su Dongshan, you lead a thousand men and horses to attack Ximen."
"Subordinates take orders!"
"Niu Meng, Xue Changsheng, you lead the rest of the men and horses, follow me to attack the east gate, you must fight quickly tonight, and you must not let go of an enemy."
"Yes, Alliance Leader......
