In the morning, the sun was very hot.

Between the mountains, in a nameless valley.

Wu Nian led Wang Gui, Zhang Sheng and the soldiers to rest here. Don't look at him standing still here, but the spies spread out like tentacles, and can catch the slightest movement of the wind and grass.

Among the dense vegetation around, there are also secret sentinels set up by Wu Nian to ensure that he will not be surrounded. Because of this vigilance, Wu Nian, Wang Gui, Zhang Sheng, and the ironclad soldiers were able to untie the armor on their bodies to breathe.

Speaking of which.

Armor is the most tangible trophy of this war.

Originally, the iron-clad rate in Wu Nian's army was about thirty percent. That is, out of more than 2,000 soldiers, six or seven hundred were wearing iron armor.

And after killing three thousand commanders and slaughtering one or two thousand Mengyuan soldiers. They didn't bring any weapons, but they took every piece of iron armor with them.

Now there are one or two thousand ironclad soldiers in Wu Nian's army, and the ironclad rate is very, very high.

And the original armor was also snatched by Wu Nian. In his weapons workshop, the progress of making armor is very slow, and he can't squeeze out a piece of armor every day.

If he hadn't robbed so much armor, he wouldn't have been able to support seven thousand soldiers, and even let these soldiers defend the castle and be undefeated in the face of Mengyuan Wanhu's onslaught.

Without armor, you can't hold it.

Grab people, armor, weapons, and food. Throughout Wu's war career, he also had guerrilla characteristics.

Serious guerrillas who produce weapons in special codes, all robbery.

Although the weather is hot, it is heaven to eat hot rice and drink a bowl of soup made of dried meat and wild vegetables without eating dry food.

Wu Nian sat in front of the iron pot, ate five large bowls of rice, cooked two bowls of hot soup, and ate ten bird eggs dug up by his own soldiers on the tree.

None of the muscles on his body are white, and he has not been replenished with meat protein, and no matter how strong a man is, he will become a soft-footed shrimp.

Rice bucket is everyday.

I haven't slept all night, and it's so hot. After Wu Nian had eaten a full meal, he couldn't help but doze off, and there was no need to hold back.

Anyway, there are people on guard, sleep during the day, and hurry again at night, and continue to make waves.

It is true that people are iron and rice is steel, but if you don't sleep, it is useless to eat more.

Before going to bed, Wu Nian still had tasks to assign. He stretched out his right hand and said, "Map." ”

Immediately, one of the pro-soldiers untied the black package behind his back, took out a yellowed map from it, and handed it to Wu Nian.

Wu Nian stretched out his hand to take the map and spread it on the ground, beckoning Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng to come and sit down around the map. Wu Nian pointed to the map and said with a smile: "To attack me." Yingqing Mansion and Guangyang Mansion, the troops of the three Mengyuan and Wanhu households were all concentrated. Three Han people and ten thousand households will guard the county seat. ”

"The spies have probed, and there are no flaws. Defend well, guard against death. I'm afraid that I, Wu Nian, will surprise my troops and break through their cities like the last time I attacked the two county towns of Guangyang Prefecture. ”

"But my target is not these counties at all. but the rest of the hundred houses scattered in the mountains. ”

"There are so many of these hundred houses hidden in the valley that only the imperial court knows how many. Each castle has as few as one or two thousand people, and as many as two or three thousand. ”

"The Mengyuan people really can't control it, so they can only send some Mengyuan veterans, and the Mengyuan people will take care of it and organize it. We broke them and fought for hundreds of miles, taking all the population with us. While fighting guerrilla warfare, while accumulating strength. When Jin Ruiyun, Jin Huanshan, and Wan Yanxian can't help it, they will abandon the front line of Beishan Fort and come to besiege me. ”

"When they move, we have another opportunity."

"Concentrate superior forces and attack their weak points."

"Our first target is here, Zhang Guangbao."

After Wu Nian finished speaking, he looked at Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng with smiling eyes, and said, "Go to sleep." Except for the people who were on guard, the people in charge of the spies, the rest slept. Recharge your batteries. We set off in the evening. ”

"Run overnight, before dawn, break through Zhangguang Fort."

"Yes." Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng perked up, hugged their fists and saluted, and immediately turned around and went down. Wu Nian stood up with a smile, patted his buttocks, came to the big tree where the horse was tied, took out a black cloth and spread it on the ground, fell into the shadows, and fell asleep.

He has at least three personal soldiers by his side, who are responsible for guarding in case of accidents.

It was soon getting late in the evening. The soldiers, who had replenished their sleep, began to bury their pots and cook. Before the meal began, Wu Nian was woken up.

After eating eighty percent full, he served as a rice bucket. Wu Nian put on his armor and turned over on his horse. Wang Gui led the troops in front, and Zhang Sheng led the troops in the rear.

Wu Nian rode a horse and walked in the center, and the large group of people and horses, under the guidance of the guide who was familiar with the road, walked the mountain path and headed towards the target Zhang Guangbao.

The soldiers wore iron armor, carried rice grains and iron pots, and crossed the mountains and mountains, as if walking on the ground.

They are all mountain people, and they have advantages in this regard.

..........

Zhang Guangbao.

This is a castle with Beishan Fort, Chengshan Fort, and Tiancheng Fort, which is almost a castle printed in a mold. It is located deep in the mountains and old forests, towering over a narrow plain.

However, it is not the same as the original Kitayama Fort.

The Mengyuan people who are responsible for managing this place are not corpse vegetarians. They organized the strong men in the castle, repaired the walls briefly, and trained the soldiers.

At present, there are more than 3,000 people in Zhangguangbao.

There were two centurions in force.

Mengyuan people served as officers, and the strong men in Zhangguangbao served as soldiers.

The equipment was mediocre, only the officers had armor, and the soldiers wore only simple leather armor made of leather.

But the training was good. The Mengyuan people are not accustomed to the Han people, and the training is very strict.

Sounds great.

It's like the 100,000 households of the Mengyuan people went south, rarely did rape, humiliation and plunder, and treated the Han people well. The Han people are called.

[Natives].

But a second-class citizen is a second-class citizen. These Mengyuan people were sent to the poor mountains and remote areas, can the imperial court really manage them?

Mengyuan people do a lot of things to bully men and women every day.

Afternoon.

As the sun shines down, hard-working people toiled in the fields outside the city, pulling weeds and cleaning up pests. As far as the eye could see, there was not a single girl or young woman.

In the past, the officials were domineering, and they did not regard soldiers as human beings.

But the officials at least have some rules. These Mengyuan people don't pay attention to the rules at all, and when they see a beautiful girl, they rob them.

Even the young woman was not spared.

The bloody man was killed. The head was still hung at the gate of the city to show the public, and the Mengyuan people called it "anti-thief".

The cowardly man watched his wife and daughter being ruined by the Mengyuan people, and he couldn't straighten his waist.

Not only can't you straighten your waist, but you also have to greet you with a smile.

In this Guangbao, there is no laughter, only lifelessness.

When is this day?
