Chapter 500: The Iron Bull Strikes

Tie Niu didn't know what happened to Ying Qingguan. Since leaving Jiang County at night, he began to take a long detour, a small road, and kill Yun County.

Although the mountain roads lead in all directions, there is a big difference between the main road and the small road.

The main road can calmly pull and transport heavy vehicles, and the march and combat are much calmer.

And the small road escort grain is very troublesome. And because of the long roads, it is difficult to supply food.

Not to mention heavy siege equipment.

Puguli is also in Yingqing Pass, and the soldiers are full of food.

If you send people to attack the grain road, then everything is finished.

So. Ying Qingguan is not impossible to bypass, but the risk of bypassing is extremely high.

Unless it is possible to take one of the three county towns of Yun County, Chong County, and Ya County as a foothold in an instant.

But without heavy siege equipment, siege is a fantasy.

The Iron Ox didn't bring much food this time, and the weight was only a minimum. If Yunxian's side is a trap, the probability that he can come back alive and safe is extremely low.

Soldiers are fast.

The Iron Bull marched very fast.

At night.

The starry sky is shining high, and the moon is in the sky.

"Iron" under the banner.

Iron Bull held a lance in his hand, drove a black horse, and shouted loudly: "Speed up, brothers, speed up." We must arrive in Yun County before dawn and set up camp. ”

As Tie Niu's order was conveyed, although the soldiers of the two thousand households were very tired, they still gritted their teeth and accelerated their speed.

In this kind of situation.

The men and horses led by Tie Niu finally arrived outside Yunxian County before dawn. And in the south of the city, a strong camp was built.

Inside the camp. In front of the big tent of the Chinese army. Tie Niu held the handle of the knife on his waist with his left hand, and looked ahead with his head held high, Yunxian County.

"All that's left is to wait. Look at what Zhao Yanting did. Tie Niu said secretly in his heart.

At that time, Zhao Yanting just said that he would help Wu Nian capture Yuncheng. But how to capture it, Zhao Yanting did not say. There was no further contact between the two parties.

Liaison is also risky.

As the saying goes.

If you don't plan secretly, you will lose your body.

This kind of dedication to the city can only be done temporarily.

"Oh!!!"

Last night.

When Iron Bull built the camp, the soldiers moved very little. Although the guards in Yunxian City were very strict, they did not hear any movement.

When the rooster dawned, it was daybreak. When the soldiers were about to change shifts, they found that a large battalion had been erected outside the city.

The soldiers were frightened and immediately canceled the original routine of opening the city gates. Some of the soldiers immediately descended the city wall and entered the barracks to report the situation.

At present, the Yunxian garrison has a strength of four thousand commanders.

One Mengyuan commander is the main force, and three Han people are the assistants. At present, the strength of the three Han people is divided into four divisions, which are respectively guarding the east, south, north and west of the city.

The troops of the commander of Meng Yuan were in the center of the city as a rear hand.

This kind of troop deployment is not wrong, but it can only be said to be decent.

Zhao Yanting, the centurion, was in the military house in the east of the city. Once Wu Nian launches an attack, the army will definitely come from the south.

Seongnam is the first to bear the brunt.

But Zhao Yanting is a smart man. He knew that when the time came, the security in the south of the city would definitely be very tight. On the contrary, on the other three sides, the guard will be looser, and the operation will be much easier.

With the energy of the Zhao family, it was easy to send him into the military house in the east of the city.

"Oooo

Zhao Yanting got up early in the morning, washed up, and then went out of the bedroom, came to the canteen, and ate together with the soldiers.

Although they eat together, Zhao Yanting's food is different from that of ordinary soldiers.

The Mengyuan people treated the soldiers of the Han people and thousands of households well. After all, at the critical moment, it is necessary to need soldiers from thousands of Han households to defend the city.

Just like this morning, the soldiers saw the oil and water, and each of them was given a few pieces of meat.

Zhao Yanting's rice is very large, and one person makes three bowls of rice, including pickled radish, pickles, five boiled eggs, a large bowl of braised pork, and a large bowl of mutton soup.

After the ordinary soldiers had eaten, they found a random place to squat down and eat. Zhao Yanting sat down, the house slave put the food on the table, and began to eat slowly.

He eats quickly, but calmly.

"Knock knock!"

Just when Zhao Yanting was halfway through eating, the sound of the cowhide drum sounded. The soldiers were either finished or about to finish eating, but they all left the canteen at once, and hurried back to get their weapons or put on their armor.

Very well trained.

The Mengyuan people have been going south for many years, and the Han soldiers are very elite.

The essence in Zhao Yanting's eyes flashed, but he didn't move, but continued to eat. Until a hundred households walked in wearing armor, and after seeing Zhao Yanting, he bared his teeth and grinned: "Lord Zhao." You still eat it. Something big has happened. ”

"What's the matter?" Zhao Yanting had finished eating at this time, took out the handkerchief, wiped his mouth, raised his eyes and asked.

These hundred households are called Xu Zhinian, and they have no background. Zhao Yanting, who was born in a big family in this county, was very polite, and he was not angry when he saw Zhao Yanting like this, but patiently explained: "Last night, a military camp was quietly built in the south of the city. ”

The spies went out to take a look, and the flag was "iron". There is a high probability that it is the captain [Tie Niu] under Wu Nian, judging from the size of the barracks, the strength is either two thousand households or three thousand households. ”

"There's an order from above, let's be on guard."

Zhao Yanting finished wiping his mouth and handed the handkerchief to the house slave standing aside. With a look of disdain on his face, he said with a smile: "The eight captains under Wu Nian's command, everyone should not be underestimated. But calculate the time. Tie Niu can go from Jiang County to Yun County so quickly. ”

"What siege ramparts can he have? What kind of baggage, grain and grass can there be? As long as we are careful and don't mess around. He will not be able to defeat us. ”

"Hundreds of households. Take it easy. ”

Xu Zhinian did have a lot of pressure, and after listening to Zhao Yanting's words, he suddenly exhaled, a smile appeared on his face, nodded and clenched his fists and said, "Thank you Lord Zhao for your advice." ”

"Still. The orders given from above are also extraordinary. The Mengyuan people enforce military law, but they are not emotional. Lord Zhao. You'd better hurry. ”

"Okay." Zhao Yanting nodded.

Xu Zhinian quickly turned around and left. Zhao Yanting slowly stood up, took the house slave back to his bedroom, put on armor, hung up a steel knife, and led a hundred or so people under his command to stand by in the barracks.

"When autumn comes, September 8, when my flowers bloom, a hundred flowers will be killed."

"I, Zhao Yanting, it's time to come to the forefront."

Zhao Yanting sat on the Taishi chair and gently patted the steel knife on his waist, his face showing a majestic look, and his momentum was majestic.
