Chapter 66: Guzang County Asks for Help!
The waiting time is always extraordinarily long, both in Wuwei County and in Chang'an Village.
As the sun gradually set into the mountains, a cold wind blew in Liangzhou again, and some birds in the Tianshan Mountains kept howling.
The moonlight tonight is hazy, the moonlight is not very bright, and it is a little difficult to see the road clearly, but everyone in Chang'an Village has a fire in their hearts.
In the open space at the entrance of Chang'an Village, all the soldiers stood in three columns, with 200 cavalry, 600 infantry, and 300 archers, which was all the family background of Chang'an Village.
Lu Junyi, Huang Zhong, and Chang Yuchun stood in front of their team first, and the veterans and recruits looked at Jiang Chang'an, who was standing at the front.
It would take about half a day to rush from Chang'an Village to Wuwei County, and seeing that the hour was about to arrive, Jiang Changan turned around and said sharply.
"Brothers, tonight is a big day for my Chang'an Village."
"The county commander of Wuwei County, Liu Xia, is corrupt and perverts the law, fishes and flesh the people, cares for people's lives, raises self-respect, and allows the thieves in the quicksand village to plague the township."
"Doing the right thing for heaven is my innate mission as a Chinese man, can you stay with such a dog official?"
"Can't!"
"Can't!"
A warm response erupted in the clearing, and Jiang Changan continued with a shake of one hand.
"Tonight's action is all subject to the arrangement of the main general, take Wuwei County, all the brothers present today will be rewarded with ten taels of silver each, and those who take the lead will be promoted to ten captains! The brave and unparalleled will be promoted to centurion! ”
"I, Jiang Chang'an, never talk empty words, as long as I take this Wuwei County, I promise you a great future!"
"Swear allegiance!"
The people's hearts in Chang'an Village are extremely high, which is due to the prosperity of Chang'an Village and the benevolence of Jiang Chang'an.
At this time, both recruits and veterans were encouraged to scream, especially those recruits who had just entered the Chang'an Army, and they wanted to prove themselves.
In the whole world, except for Chang'an Village, there is no place that can give so much silver taels to be a soldier.
The morale in the field has been raised, and Jiang Chang'an's morale is even better with the blessing of Jiang Changan's strong army skills.
"Let's go!"
Jiang Changan gave an order, and the three-way army marched in the direction of Wuwei County.
Holding torches all the way east, the sound of heavy wheezing and the clattering of military horses on the ground came and went.
Xu Shu's talent skill formation master actually took effect during the march, which was a small surprise to Jiang Changan before the war.
Mobility has been increased by 10% for all classes, saving a lot of time on the road.
The moon is on the willows, and soon the time has come.
The scouts hiding outside the city had changed into Huaxia military uniforms at this time, rode fast horses that had been lying in ambush outside the forest for a long time, and smeared some mud on their faces.
Ready, the scout kept taking deep breaths to create a scene that he had been on for a long time, turned over and galloped towards the gate of Wuwei County.
"Open the door! Open the door! Guzang County urgently asks for help! ”
The scout burst out of the woods and began to shout from afar.
When the defenders at the gate heard the shouting, they immediately turned on their guard, picked up their bows and arrows, and pointed them at the scouts.
The scout panted and shouted harder as he beat his horse.
"Open the door! Open the door! Guzang County urgently asks for help! ”
When the scouts approached, the guards guarding the city looked at the top of the city, and at a glance saw the same standard military uniform as himself.
"Stop! Who is coming? ”
When the scout came to the city gate, he also devised a movement to accidentally fall off his horse, and then quickly got up and ran to the city gate without caring about the pain, and shouted loudly.
"I am a guard in Guzang County, the county was attacked by foreign races, and the army is coming to the city, and my county order asked me to come for help!"
"The military situation is urgent, brother, let me meet the county commander!"
Exhausted by the scout, he performed vividly, and he himself recognized this performance.
Hearing the scout's words, and seeing the scout's sloppy and miserable appearance, the guard officer believed most of it.
But his duty was to defend the gates of the county, which could not be opened without the permission of the prefectural ordinance.
"Is there a proof?"
When the scout heard this, he hurriedly took out the letter from his bosom that he had prepared long ago.
"This is a letter from an adult in my family! This thing is proof! ”
When the guard saw the scout take out the letter, he could only shake his head and say.
"Brother, you know the rules of guarding the city, after an hour, the king of heaven and Lao Tzu can't open this door when he comes, give me the letter in your hand, and I will hand it over to the county magistrate for you."
"Don't worry, this thing is going to lose my head, I won't delay!"
After speaking, he asked the soldiers around him to put down a bamboo basket hanging by ropes, and the scout hesitated in place for a long time, as if he had figured it out, and stomped his feet and put the letter in the bamboo basket.
"Brother, Guzang County has attacked the city with a large army at this time, and 100,000 are in a hurry, please transfer this thing quickly, and I will go back now to assist my county in defending against the enemy."
"Even if it's death! I'm going to die on the battlefield too! ”
A hint of madness and ruthlessness flashed in the scout's eyes, which moved the guard officer at the city gate and the soldiers around him.
The guard officer opened the letter, saw the big vermilion seal on it at a glance, and said hurriedly.
"Brother, don't worry, I'll give this letter to your lord immediately!"
"Such a loyal and brave brother, what is your name, if you survive tonight, I, Hu Sanhai, will definitely go to Guzang County to find you for a drink!"
Seeing the guard officer ask his name, the scout showed a hint of emotion on the surface, but thought in his heart.
"It's really a failure, I didn't expect this guard officer to ask his name, it wasn't designed in advance."
"Brother, my name is Li Dazhuang! Please, Brother Hu! ”
After the scout finished speaking, he immediately turned over and picked up the horsewhip, whipped it on the horse's buttocks, and ran in the direction of Guzang County.
"What a brave man!"
The guard officer sighed, and then said coldly to the person behind him.
"I'll report to your lordship, this gate is guarded for me!!"
"Understood!"
Receiving a response, Hu Sanhai rode in the direction of the county governor's mansion.
Liu Xia, who was woken up, was in a very bad mood, and was originally going to have a good time with the two concubines tonight and enjoy the joy of Qiren.
But the gate was chiseled loudly, and as soon as the door was opened, he received an urgent report of the military situation, so he could only call the county to his house overnight.
"Guzang County asks for help, I have seen the big seal on it, it is indeed from Guzang County."
"Zifu, how to deal with this matter?"
Liu Xia drank tea, looked at Yang Tian, who was reading the letter for help, and asked.
Yang Tian quickly glanced at the messy and eager handwriting on the letter and replied.
"It seems that there is indeed a siege in Guzang County, my lord, the county commander of Guzang County is a fellow townsman."
"Moreover, Guzang County is the capital of Wuwei County, and the county order of Guzang County is estimated to be able to rise one more liter within the year."
"At this time, the aid is a charcoal in the snow, this kind of kindness is not ordinary!"
Liu Xia nodded, put down the teacup in his hand and leaned back and said.
"That's why I came to you, if it's someone else, I won't be too lazy to care, this Guzang County can't be ignored."
"How many soldiers are there in the county now?"
"Lord Hui, there is another batch of new ones today, and there are about 4,500 soldiers in the barracks." Yang Tian arched his hand and said.
"Then send 1,500 troops and immediately rush to the aid of Guzang County, as long as this crisis is solved, the relationship between Guzang County will be opened."
Yang Tian thought for a moment before continuing.
"My lord, Guzang County has a strong foundation, and it is not small to be able to come to call for aid and touch the foreign race."
"There is no war here, so it is better to send 2,500 elites to rush to the aid immediately, as long as tonight passes, everything will be decided."
Liu Xia frowned and thought for a moment, the two thousand elite soldiers in the county were actually enough, and there would be no major problems in the high defense depth of Wuwei County, and it was only one night, so he immediately stood up and said.
"Then don't delay any longer, you immediately take my token and go to the barracks to inform the general, and lead the elite two thousand five to rush to the aid immediately!"
"Early tomorrow morning, I will personally go to Guzang County to express my condolences to my fellow villager!"
