Chapter 440: Halo City

"The owner of the village, one hundred and twenty miles away, there is a small city, which is said to be owned by a family surnamed Cheng. The city is only fifty miles from the mountain, and if there is any danger, you can quickly return to the mountain. The most important thing is that there is a lot of food and medicinal herbs in the city. Ha Ying swallowed hard.

In the past two days, he and Suo Ji and others searched for many places in the surrounding area, only to find such a small city, and then sneaked into the city to find out the details, and then hurried back to report to Wu Gan.

"Food." Wu Yan muttered, and there was a trace of vicissitudes in his eyes. It's been a few days since I've eaten fragrant cakes, even if I come to a bunch of ears of grain to chew on it. In the past few days, eating meat and wild fruits every day, Wu Gen suddenly found that there are thousands of delicious foods in the world, but only the flavor of grain is the most attractive.

Growing up in Dafeng Village since he was a child, Wu Gen ate the most flatbread when he was a child, and it was really the kind that he ate until he vomited. Later, I gradually got some money, and I vowed not to touch any cakes in the future, but I sadly found that the things I was used to when I was a child may not be changed for a lifetime.

The human stomach is so weird, and when it first accepts something, it stubbornly leaves a space for it. No matter how dragon liver and phoenix marrow, mountain and sea delicacies pass by, I am afraid they are not qualified to enter.

Maybe you will forget the existence of this space on weekdays, but your body will stubbornly remind you that this is your root, this is the source of your life, and only by filling it up will your life be full.

Wiping a handful of saliva from the corner of his mouth, looking at the eager eyes of the people around him, Wu Yan asked with some embarrassment: "How many people are in the city, and how many people are guarding." ”

Ha Ying finally calmed down and simply drew the outline of a small city on the ground, "The owner of the village, although it is a city, it is actually a reinforced bazaar.

Because of its proximity to the mountains, the products of the mountains and the salt tea from outside the mountains are traded in this city, so there is so much food and medicinal herbs. At the moment, because it is in the off-season, there are not many people in the city. I inquired with Sogi, and there were only seventy or eighty people guarding the city, and there were less than a thousand inhabitants in the city, all but a few locals. ”

"Merchant? In other words, as long as we control these seventy or eighty people, everything in the city will be taken as we want, and the supplies will be abundant. Wu Qian pointed to the outline of the city in front of him and looked up at Ha Ying.

"My lord, I think I still have to guard against those merchants making trouble. These people walk all year round, and it is inevitable that they will encounter robberies, so they have a lot of force. It's just that as long as they don't get twisted, they don't have to worry too much. Sogi added from the side.

Wu Yan gently tapped his knee with his hand, thoughtfully, and suddenly raised his head and asked, "How many gates are there in the city, how are the people guarding the city cultivating?" ”

"There are four gates, and the cultivation of the people guarding the city should not be very high, because I took a cursory look, some of them are mortals, and some of them are martial artists of the first and second realms. Even if there are some masters in Tibet, I estimate that no matter how high it is, it will only be three realms. Ha Ying frowned, thinking back to what he had seen, and casually drew the locations of several doors on the ground.

"Owner of the village, you can give it a try." Xue Xin leaned over and pointed to the layout of the city, "According to what Ha Ying said, it is not difficult to capture the city, but considering that the brothers need to rest in the city for a few days, they have to consider how to defend the city in case of change."

Although this city is not large, we have very few men, and it is probably impossible to do everything in general. As long as the other gates are sealed, leaving only the east gate facing the mountain, it should be able to be defended. ”

After pondering for a moment, Wu Yan finally nodded, "Let everyone have a full meal, and we will set off immediately." In addition, Ha Ying took Soji and went into the city first, and then we should take the city together in the evening, so that we could fight skillfully and not fight to the death. The brothers were very tired all the way, and it was easy to cause unnecessary casualties in the battle at this time. ”

The next day, when dusk was approaching, Wu Gen stood on a tree and looked at the small city in the distance. What kind of city is this, it seems that the village has added a city wall. The city wall is only more than two zhang high, and there are gaps in some places. Occasionally, one or two people would hang around the city walls, probably the soldiers guarding the city.

According to the agreement with Ha Ying, the gate to prepare for the siege this time is the east gate, and there is not even a patrol at the city gate.

With such a loose defense, Wu Gan wanted to rush over with someone now, and it was not impossible to defeat him. But looking at the tired subordinates in the woods behind him, he still sighed.

If you fight now, you will definitely alarm the defenders, and if the merchants in the city can't say that they will also help defend the city, then the casualties of your own men will increase.

Wu Yan was really reluctant to let his subordinates who he brought out die senselessly in this ruined city, so he had to press his mind and wait quietly for dark.

The stars gradually spread across the sky, and there was no moon tonight.

Looking at the dark town in the distance, Wu Gen waved his hand, and the dreadnought, which had rested for a long time, under the leadership of Xue Xin, wrapped a layer of hay around the soles of their feet, and ran towards the direction of the east city gate.

Wu Geng was at the head of the team, constantly paying attention to the movements of his subordinates. It is said that such a low wall is almost non-existent for him, and he can easily enter the city.

But as a leader, there is a lot to think about, whether so many people under his command can enter the city, how to deal with the chaos, and how to deal with it in case the other party hides a master.

When he was only two hundred steps away from the city gate, Xue Xin waved his hand, and everyone stopped, lying quietly on the ground, and further on, they would be within the range of the arrows.

Fortunately, there were no patrols on the city walls, only a few lanterns hung here and there, and the people who came to the vigil did not know where to run to be lazy.

There was a cry of night owls at the top of the city, and Wu Yan knew that Soji and the others had arrived at the head of the city. Signaling to Xue Xin, he first rushed towards the city gate with the rest of the Lingyun Eight Horsemen.

In the darkness of the night, several men abandoned their armor so as not to make a noise, and in the blink of an eye they reached the city gate. Wu Yan waved his hand at the people behind him, and on tiptoe, he was already on the city wall.

On the not-so-spacious city walls, only a lantern swayed gently in the wind, and there was silence all around. In the watchtower in the distance, there was a faint sound of snoring one after another.

Ha Ying jumped out of the shadows, arrived in front of Wu Gan, and said in a low voice: "Village master, you are here." ”

"How?" Wu Jian asked softly. Behind him, a flying claw landed on the top of the city, and the rest of the Lingyun Eight Horsemen also climbed up one after another.

Pointing to the women's wall in the distance, Ha Ying was a little excited, "I caught two live mouths, and the rest of the people were sleeping and were not alarmed." ”

When they reached the base of the wall, Sogi was looking at the night watchmen on the ground, the two unlucky men had already been tied up so tightly that even their mouths were gagged. Wu Yan nodded at him, "I can ask about the layout of the defense." ”

Soji hurriedly replied: "My lord, there are about forty people on the city wall, including ten sentry, and the rest are sleeping. There were also those who stayed in the city, not on the walls. ”

"Okay, be careful to open the city gates, let our men in, Lingyun Eight Cavalry is divided into three teams, and cooperate with the other brothers to attack the other three city gates. Move quickly and don't make a sound. Remember, if you can't fight, you won't fight. Wu Jian briefly explained a few words, and asked Ha Ying and Zhuo Ke to open the door and contact the people outside the city, while he came to the city tower with Suo Ji and others.

Gently opened the wooden door, snoring loudly in the house, Wu Yan signaled, and several people pounced on it like tigers, and pressed them on the bed without waiting for these people to react.

"Someone." An inquiry was heard from a cubicle inside, followed by a figure walking out. When he saw the situation in the house, he was about to shout, but he was already choked by Wu Gan's neck.

Successfully solved the guards of the east city gate, at this time Xue Xin had already led people into the city, divided into three teams to sneak along the city wall to the other city gates, and Wu Gan went to the farthest west gate.

In the early morning, the fog had not yet dissipated in the distant fields, and the dew-stained soil was lightly wrapped in white clothes. But the city walls were already steaming, and there was a commotion with those who were cooking, and those who were escorting the prisoners.

Wu Yan was sitting at the head of the city, greedily sucking a bowl of vegetable porridge. A mouthful of hot porridge enters the stomach, and the whole world warms up. A small piece of pickles was sandwiched with chopsticks, and the saltiness was matched with the fragrance of porridge, and Wu Gan squinted his eyes intoxicated. This simple porridge rice is more delicious than any herb elixir at the moment.

After a night of hard work, Wu Gen led people to take down this small city called Zhanliu. Due to the quick action and the surprise, it was so easy to take this city, which made Xue Xin a little dumbfounded until now. If these guards were his men, he would probably be able to skin them all.

Most of the guards were caught under the covers, and only a few resisted, and at the cost of slightly injuring a few people, the city fell into the hands of Wu Gan. When he entered the city, Wu Gen knew why this city was famous, and it turned out that the nearby mountains were rich in tung oil, so he got such a name.

After the four sides settled down, Wu Gen immediately asked someone to make a pot of porridge and treat his five internal organs temple well.

In the distance, Xue Xin was wearing armor and strode over.

"Come on, Xue Xin, taste this porridge, the taste is absolutely nothing." Wu Qian pointed to a cauldron in front of him, and greeted Xue Xin, who was covered in dew, "It's still the fireworks in the world, and it soothes the belly of mortals the most." ”

Xue Xin squatted down on the side, scooped a large bowl out of the pot, took a deep breath of the aroma first, and carefully slipped away and took a big sip.

"The owner of the wall, the guards in the city have been arrested, the prisoners are also locked in prison, and the remaining three city gates have been sealed and people have been arranged to be on duty." Xue Xin was concise and concise, and briefly explained his layout.

After taking the city of Lamp, Xue Xin did not rest for a moment, and according to the original plan, he organized people to improve the defense of the city in an orderly manner.

Wu Gen doesn't have to worry about these things, he has Xue Xin to co-ordinate, I have to say that with him by his side, Wu Gen has indeed saved a lot of worry.

"Okay, the door is closed, let's find some fat sheep to replenish the military resources. Send men today to find more food and herbs in the city. If you don't want gold and silver, you don't want it, those things are heavy and you can't eat or drink, so you are afraid that those businessmen and dogs will jump off the wall in a hurry. ”

Looking at Xue Xin's big bowl, Wu Jian hurriedly scooped some more for himself, and instructed while eating, "In the few days we have been resting here, no one is allowed to enter and leave the city. If anyone dares to resist, we must be ruthless, and we must not let them think that we can be bullied. ”

"Don't worry, kill chickens and make an example of monkeys, and the small ones will be arranged. Lend Sogi to me for use, I'm afraid that those fat sheep will hide things, and with his means, they can be found wherever they hide. After going through so many things, Xue Xin has completely adapted to Wu Geng's temperament and successfully completed the role transformation from an official soldier to a bandit.

Soon, Xue Xin led people to rush into the city. Because Wu Gen and others acted too fast, many merchants had not yet noticed that the city had changed hands, and they still got up step by step to prepare for dinner and open the market, and the number of people on the street gradually increased. When they saw these murderous soldiers, some people were ready to make a joke.

There are also careful people, who found that there are many Terrans among these soldiers, and these shrewd merchants sensed that something was wrong, how could there be so many heavily armed Terrans in Kuntianzhou.

They were all people who had been walking outside for many years, and many of them turned around and went back to get their knives and guns, looking at the dreadnoughts with unkind expressions. Soon, skirmishes erupted.

It's just that most of these merchants come from all over the country, and the people in each caravan are relatively small, and under the pressure of Zhuo Ke and other soldiers, the city quickly settled down.

It's no wonder that Zhanliu City is said to be a city, but in fact, there are only seven or eight streets in the city, and Wu Gen can see the whole picture when he stands at the head of the city. With such a small city, the dreadnoughts quickly swept the whole city.

Seeing that the general trend had been decided, Wu Gen finally put his mind at ease, found a reclining chair, and lazily lay at the head of the East City Gate, enjoying a rare leisure.

In a daze, he suddenly heard a commotion under the castle tower. When I opened my eyes, Zhang Wuyang and others walked over with a burly man with a beard like a halberd.

Some people died, but not completely......
