Chapter 151: Sentinel Battle

When Zhang Chong entered the city, on a hill forty miles northeast of Mu County, a small-scale, but extremely tragic ambush was about to take place here.

The place is flanked by hills and in the middle is a river valley in which the Win Wen River flows. At this moment, by the river under the valley, a group of cavalry was hurrying along the river.

But halfway through, a large beech tree with flourishing branches fell on both sides of the road. These cavalrymen did not suspect much, these places are often cut down large trees, some loggers after cutting down trees, will push the wood down the Yingwen River, downstream there are special wood collectors.

So when the cavalry stopped, a few of them dismounted to move the beech trees.

Suddenly, a group of soldiers rushed out of the woods with a thick wooden branch. Before the cavalry could react, the group used wooden branches on their horses and desperately forced them to the side of the Yingwen River.

In the blink of an eye, four cavalry companies with men and horses had been swept into the river.

The cavalrymen who fell into the river hurriedly threw away the scarves on their heads, threw off the reins, and were about to swim up. But at this time, five or six water ghosts swam in the water, and they were held down by biting daggers, and then they took a knife, stabbed and stabbed, and then drew a knife, and then the next one.

For a while, the blood fainted the water of the Yingwen River.

And the confrontation on the shore was even more intense.

Among the people who rushed out was a stout man with a big axe on his back. As soon as he rushed out, he was so reluctant that he carried the enemy horsemen and horses into the river.

By this time he had already picked up his axe and slashed at the rest of the cavalry. An axe slashes into the horse's leg, and another pair of skulls cut off the enemy's skull.

The rest of the cavalry hurriedly drew their swords and dismounted to fight these men on foot.

But the people who rushed out were obviously an elite, they could hack an enemy to death with three or two swords, and they drank violently for each person they killed, and even a few of them learned the howling of wild beasts in the mountains, bloody and savage.

But soon reinforcements from the enemy cavalry arrived, and a foot troop of about twenty people rushed over when they heard the news.

The ambushed group apparently didn't detect this situation, and panicked for a moment. But one of the men who seemed to be the leader immediately got on a horse abandoned by the enemy's horsemen, pulled a handful of iron bones from the horse's coat, and then rushed towards the group of infantry.

With the help of horsepower, the man drew a circle with an iron bone, and smashed it on the jaw of an infantryman from the bottom up. Half of the soldier's face rotted and flew to the side.

Then, after the iron bone was swung to the highest, it reluctantly smashed down on the skull of another soldier, directly smashing his Heavenly Spirit Cover.

After that, it was swinging, smashing, swinging, smashing, and by the time he rode to the front, more than half of the infantry had been stoned to death by him.

When the man turned his horse's head and was about to repeat his old trick, he charged at him with a ring-headed sword on the other side.

The man pursed his lips, grabbed the horse's legs, and sped away to meet the cavalry.

He roared, and between the two horses, he smashed his bones on the horse's chest and collapsed. And he was unscathed and continued to charge towards the next enemy.

At this moment, one of his robes, that is, the warrior with the big axe, is also slaughtering with impunity.

The strong man chopped off the soles of the enemy's feet with an axe, and then smashed the skull of an enemy with another axe, leaving a wail all over the place after he walked by.

Seeing that this axe warrior was so brave, Meng was overjoyed in his heart, and he borrowed him from the cross-collision team with Qu Kui, which was really the right one.

That's right, just riding on the horse, holding the iron bone in his hand, it was the general of the Flying Army Flag Department of the Taishan Army Zhang Chong's Army Headquarters who was frustrated.

The battle on the edge of the valley is already scorching. Both sides mixed up and fought, and Meng Fu could no longer catch the enemy on his horse, so he dismounted and fought on foot.

An enemy soldier with a spear wanted to surprise him, but he was directly frustrated and grabbed the handle of the spear, and then the iron bone in his right hand directly smashed off his skull, and the spear in his left hand was inserted into the man's chest, and he could not die anymore.

Just then, he saw one of his Flying Brothers fall to the ground, and an enemy stabbed him in front of him. Frustrated, he drew his spear and threw it at him, striking him right in the back. But before he died, he stabbed the knife into the chest of his flying soldier.

By the time Meng Fu arrived, his own soldiers had already swallowed their breath.

Meng narrowed his eyes, and rushed to a small formation of three people with a wave of iron bones. He threw the knee of the second enemy soldier left and right, and then smashed the third man's jaw with a flick of the iron bone.

The three of them were not dead for a while, lying on the ground wailing and begging for mercy, but they were shattered one by one by their skulls by the frustration.

But he was so excited that he didn't see that an enemy soldier with a spear had already stabbed him in the back. As soon as he was frustrated, he immediately bent down and dodged the spear.

Before he could congratulate himself on dodging a spear, his hand had already snatched the spear, pushing the enemy into the water. Then he took a spear and stabbed the man in the river.

The battle in the valley is almost over.

The ambushed flying soldiers slaughtered the enemy soldiers who were seriously wounded and wailing one after another, without mercy, just because this team of people was a scout sent by Win County.

They had already ambushed several groups of scouts from the direction of Yingxian. And this wave was the largest wave, a full twenty horsemen, and what they didn't expect was that this group of sentry cavalry didn't know where to find twenty infantry to accompany them, and almost made this ambush fail.

On the daytime march yesterday, the frustrated Fei Army did not go out with the army, but came directly to the junction of the two counties of Yingmu.

Zhang Chong's military order to Meng Fu was to let him take the flying army to carry the flag to cut off the communication between Yingmu and Yingmu, so that there would be no one person and one horse between the two places.

After Meng Fu received the order, he divided all the 400 flying troops into twenty groups, each of which was a group of two, and scattered them all on the traffic road from Ying County to Mu County.

After a night of ambush, there was not a single horse exploration in the direction of Mu County, but Ying County was endless. The group has already ambushed three waves, but this third wave is particularly large.

The flying army here cleaned up the battlefield, and the remaining war horses were enough to gather, and they were ready to leave, this place should not stay for a long time, this valley is already the boundary of Ying County.

Yesterday, there was no sentry horse to go back, and the Ying County side must have been alert, and there may be soldiers approaching at any time, and they must quickly evacuate the battlefield.

Meng Fu's side was withdrawn, but he still had to wander this line of communication, annihilating the rangers whenever he saw them, until the soldiers came from the direction of Yingxian.

----------------------

Taishan County, Fenggao.

At this time, Taishou Zhang Juzheng urgently convened a general meeting of county-level military attachés.

They just got word from the sentry horse today. The Taishan thieves who had already broken the Taiye Pavilion yesterday were completely traceable this morning.

The sentry horse reconnoitred forward, and saw the baggage piled up on the side of the road, and then looked at the ruts and the softness and hardness of the horse manure, it was obvious that the Taishan thieves were marching in the direction of Mu County last night.

As soon as the detective was finished, the detective returned to Zhang Ju.

Zhang Ju didn't dare to be careless, and immediately called the county lieutenant Li Xiang, the county soldier Cao Houzao, the thief Cao Pangzun, and the battalion general Liu Yin to the military discussion. This time, he also called the county prince Zhuge to attend the meeting.

When everyone knew about the situation, they were speechless for a while.

It's true that there is nothing to say, isn't it a good thing that the thief is gone? Don't worry about them anymore. Like the county lieutenant Li Xiang, who lived and ate in the city during this time, he never went back to his home, and the whole person lost weight. Liu Yin, the battalion general, was also unable to eat all night and sleep well. is worried that the thief is coming, and the old man will sell himself. Even those battalion officials in the camp came to him several times and urged him and Zhang Ju to ask for salary, but he scolded him away.

So when the thieves left, the county lieutenant Li Xiang and the battalion general Liu Yin were the happiest. But there are two people who are unhappy, one is the thief Cao Pangzun, and the other is the county soldier Cao Hou Zheng.

Pang Zun was unhappy because he was the thief this time for the road to promotion. Seeing that the military exploits ran away like this, how could he be happy. Then why is the county soldier Cao Hou Zheng unhappy?

for his trade was broken.

What does this mean?

Do you still remember the last military meeting, Hou Zheng risked making Zhang Ju unhappy, and added at the end that he wanted to invite the heroes in the city to defend the city together?

Hou Zheng is a treacherous old official, how many times did he need to resell to the Japanese army, but when did he have him? How could he say this without interest.

He just wanted to take advantage of the fact that the thieves of Mount Tai came to attack the city and the people were panicked, to extort the rich people in the city. You see, this Taishou is not fateful, let the heroes in the city go up to the city tower to defend the city.

But which families are too powerful and don't say, so don't they have to bother to think about it for the Taishou below.

Those who are really powerful in the county naturally dare not come to the door. But those businessmen and wealthy families will have to be blackmailed by him. Either you give a substitute money, and we will hire someone to go up the city wall for you. Do you want to pay it? I'm sorry, I can only enter your house and sweep people on the wall.

This kind of offending people is naturally not done by Hou Zheng, and naturally there are those City Fox Society rats he has befriended to come forward for him. Generally speaking, most of these rich families will choose to break their wealth and avoid disasters, after all, if they really let these lewd people fill the house and harass the female rolls, it will outweigh the losses.

But now, the Taishan thief didn't come, so how could my old marquis make a fortune by soldiering? So he was happy.

But what was even more terrifying was that Taishan who was sitting in the hall was too guarded by Zhang Ju.

At this moment, he was completely panicked. Because he understood that this thief really went to fight Mu County. When Mu County is really broken, this full house of people can be innocent, and if he wants to be a rich man again, it depends on whether the board above is heavy.

But although he was panicked in his heart, his face was full of emotion, and he couldn't let the people below guess his joy, anger and sorrow, so he could use his power. This is the third law of his presiding officer.

It's like now, as soon as he finished the news, he guessed the matter just by looking at the faces of the generals below. These Qiu Ba can't hide things on their faces.

But they won't speak, he can't express his attitude first, he wants to lead one person to break this cold atmosphere first. Zhang Ju turned his head directly and looked at Zhuge Jue. Zhuge Lao'er, this is where you are needed.

Zhang Ju cleared his throat and asked Zhuge Jue, who had been pondering:

"Zhuge Juncheng, I don't know about this, what do you think?"
