Led by several soldiers, they walked in the direction of the city.

Liu Hong returned to the tent, only to see that at this time, He Jin and Zhu Zhi were still arguing over whether to fight Wuling County or Nanjun first.

Seeing this, Liu Hong immediately cleared his throat.

There was silence in the tent.

He Jin and Zhu Zhiqi looked at Liu Hong with brushes.

"Okay, don't fight between the two of you, fight Wuling County."

"Your Majesty, you must believe the words of the last general!"

"That Wuling County must be heavily guarded now, and it is very difficult to bite!"

Zhu Zhi said incomprehensibly.

Liu Hong shook his head slightly.

"I just learned that the herald you sent out was intercepted and killed by my army."

"So Wuling County doesn't know what we've called now."

Liu Hong said with a smile.

However, hearing this, Zhu Zhi's face changed suddenly.

"Your Majesty... This...? ”

Zhu Zhi looked at Liu Hong with a stunned expression.

How could his own herald be intercepted and killed?

Liu Hong smiled and told the story of the musketeer squad.

Hearing his words, Zhu Zhi's face turned pale.

Unexpectedly, the reinforcements he waited for left and right and never waited for, but they didn't exist at all?

The herald sent out was intercepted and killed halfway?

What is done cannot be undone.

Although Zhu Zhi has a lot of unwillingness, he can only accept all this.

"Your Majesty, if this is the case, then we can attack with the whole army and take Wuling County by surprise."

Zhu Zhi immediately changed his tone and suggested.

The speed of this change in attitude made even He Jin amazed.

Because Wuling County has not yet received the news of Liu Hong's attack on Nanyang County.

Therefore, after the army was repaired, Liu Hong immediately led the army to continue southward and go to Wuling County.

This time, it was still 30,000 brave cavalry, escorting the 2,000-strong musketeer unit to take the lead.

Liu Hong wanted to take them to wear out the willpower of the defenders of Wuling County as much as possible.

At this moment.

In Wuling County.

Cheng Pu was wielding a long sword to practice swordsmanship, but there was a panic in his heart for no reason.

He hurriedly put down the long sword in his hand and clutched his chest.

"General Cheng Pu! You're alright! ”

Seeing this, the guards on the side immediately ran over to help Cheng Pu.

The latter waved his hand to signal that he was fine.

"It's not a big deal, it's just that I suddenly feel a little flustered."

Cheng Pu took the water handed over by the guard, and drank two large sips.

Then he exhaled a long breath and looked up in the direction of Nanyang County.

"How long has it been since we had contact with Nanyang County?"

"About four days."

Hearing the guard's words, Cheng Pu fell into deep thought.

After a moment, he slowly raised his head and said, "Send a few people to Nanyang County to have a look." ”

"In addition, tell Zhu Zhi that I will exchange defenses with him next month."

The guard nodded, then turned to leave.

Look in the direction the guards departed.

Cheng Pu sighed helplessly.

In the last two days, he has always felt a little frightened.

It's as if something bad is about to happen.

"No, patrols and defenses must be strengthened during this time."

"I can't go wrong with my feelings."

Cheng Pu muttered to himself.

However, it didn't take two hours.

Cheng Pu only saw the guards running in in a panic.

Even the latter accidentally fell because he didn't stand firm.

Seeing this, Cheng Pu suddenly looked at the other party with some doubts.

"What's the matter, I just went out and came back shortly after."

"There's something going on out there, panic."

I saw that the guard was out of breath, pointing in the direction outside the tent and wanting to say something.

But it took a long time to squeeze out a word.

It took almost a minute to slow down.

Only then did the guards forcibly suppress the fear in their hearts.

Then he recounted what he saw on the road.

"What!?"

"You saw the corpse of the defenders of Nanyang County on the road?"

Cheng Pu got up suddenly, his eyes widening.

How is this possible?

Why did the soldiers of Nanyang County die on the way to their own sphere of influence?

Cheng Pu's first reaction was that an enemy had infiltrated him.

This was followed by the death of these soldiers.

Obviously, he wanted to bring some news to Wuling County.

And the only thing that can make Nanyang County send someone to deliver the news is the situation where the army is left to attack.

As for what kind of army it is... Naturally, it is the closest Chang'an city to Jingzhou.

The truth is indeed as Cheng Pu thought.

Liu Hong not only led the army to attack Jingzhou, but also took Nanyang County without much effort.

"Damn it!"

"Inform the armies to prepare quickly! Head to Nanyang County now! ”

Cheng Pu hurriedly shouted.

Are you kidding.

Nanyang County was only garrisoned by 30,000 troops, and it was still 30,000 remnants.

Although Wuling County, where he is located, can support Nanyang County in a day and a half.

But who knows how many days have passed since the attack on Nanyang County?

However, when Cheng Pu began to gather troops.

only to find out that it was too late.

I saw a thick smoke coming towards me in the distance.

And it's very fast.

Cavalry troops!

The number is around 30,000 to 50,000!

Cheng Pu, who had experienced a hundred battles, immediately recognized the type and number of troops that committed the enemy.

"All the troops are in formation!"

"Phalanx of spearmen! Put me at the front! ”

Cheng Pu immediately ordered.

The best way to deal with the cavalry was a dense phalanx of spearmen.

However, he had forgotten that there was a weapon called the Dragon's Thunder.

I saw that Liu Hong led 30,000 cavalry and landed at a position 400 steps away from Cheng Pu's camp, and then stopped charging.

This operation also made Cheng Pu a little confused.

But he recognized Liu Hong hidden among the cavalry at a glance.

Suddenly, the pupils suddenly constricted.

A deep look of jealousy flashed in his eyes.

Liu Hong has a reputation for winning more with less, although in most cases he relies on the dragon to thunder.

But it can't stop the other party's outstanding talent.

Wait, the dragon roars and thunders......

Cheng Pu was suddenly stunned.

Looking at the cavalry army that firmly formed a wall, his face changed suddenly.

Not good!

Something is wrong!

"The spearmen dispersed at once! Don't gather! Don't gather! ”

Cheng Pu shouted at the top of his voice.

However, it was too late.

I heard only loud noises one after another.

Hundreds of dragons roared and thundered into the phalanx of pikemen.

Many of the military formations were immediately torn apart.

The soldiers suffered heavy casualties.

Cheng Pu, like Zhu Zhi, made a huge mistake.

That is, there is still no clear understanding of the weapon of dragon roaring thunder.

Of course, it could also be because they haven't used it much.

After a salvo blew up the pikemen phalanx.

The musketeers immediately removed the muskets they were carrying, skillfully applied, loaded, and then aimed.

Bang bang bang!

Gunshots rang out suddenly.

A full 2,000 projectiles were killed in front of Cheng Pu's army.

In an instant, the spearmen army formation that had finally gathered under the command of Cheng Pu completely collapsed.
