Chapter 673: Digging up people's ancestral graves
In Pingyao City, the chaos gradually subsided, some of the Holy Sect army and the gate lord army fled out of the city, and those who could not escape were either cut down or fell to their knees, and the fire in the city was also controlled under the attack of the heavy soldiers who poured in one after another.
At night, Pingyao regained its tranquility, and the firelight illuminated the corners of the city, but as the fleeing Holy Cult army continued to flee to the rear, it would soon become the focus again.
Dongping County, adjacent to Xiangshan County, is located in the east of Xiyan Prefecture, and the five counties in the territory are occupied by Leng Zhuo's soldiers and horses, and the remaining Zilin and Dongping counties are occupied by the Holy Sect Army and the Panshi Army one after another.
Leng Zhuo has gone up from the rear of Xishui County, to the county seat of Yunxian County, the terrain of Yunxian County is like a flat cloud, horizontal and vertical in the middle of Dongping County, the jurisdiction is long and narrow, almost the official roads of the east and west, all have to pass through Yunxian County, after Leng Zhuo took Xishui County, and then seized Shanhua Town, a big town in the south of Yunxian County, Yunxian County was completely in the hands of Leng Zhuo.
"Young master, after many inquiries by my scouts, I finally figured out the path of the enemy on the opposite side, in addition to a general banner and several miscellaneous soldiers of the Five Elements Banner stationed in Dongping County, there is also a part of the elite Five Elements Banner Army of the Holy Sect, which should belong to the Fire Five Elements Banner!" Lin Chong walked in quickly from the outside and brought back a piece of very important information.
"Oh, do you know what it is and the Demon Beast?" The number of Holy Sect troops is getting more and more, especially after the territory they occupy is expanded, this curse of the unity of politics and religion has erupted with a powerful incitement ability, and almost a day later, it seems that thousands of young people will be pulled together to form a plundering Holy Sect Army, but no matter how many of these rabble, Leng Zhuo will not care too much, but the core elite of the other party, Leng Zhuo can't care less.
From the information that has been transmitted back in recent days, the core of the Holy Sect Army's Five Elements Banner Army is very strong, in Yuxi County, Chang Yuchun, Xu Da's department was forced to withdraw from Yuxian and Xi County by the opponent's Shuixing Banner, and even, when it broke away, the number of soldiers and horses lost exceeded the number of soldiers and horses defending the city for half a month. The four-catty, water battalion, newly established by the Poyang Navy Army, took half a year to build a boat, and sank sixty percent. Before the army could be formed, it suffered heavy losses.
And in the territory of Xiyan Mansion, the battle between the Gate Rei Army and the Holy Sect Army is also completely downwind, only a very few can still support it for the time being, and the rest only rely on the joint efforts of the gate lords of one county, or even several counties, but they are swept away by the Holy Sect Army like a flood of beasts, and the frequent appearance of the Holy Sect Five Elements Army has been more and more exposed, but this Holy Sect obviously has more secrets buried.
Leng Zhuo even suspected that this separatist force, which existed at the end of the Li Tang Dynasty, must have an ancient psychic array, as well as some methods of use, after all, in that chaotic two hundred years, the ancient psychic array reached a ding, a new peak, and the demonic beasts, zerg and even alien races continued to emerge on the mainland, it was an era of swaddling demons, although in the history of the empire there are no snakes, but some wild histories are not less.
In the face of such a ding, the curse of the power that has been inherited for hundreds of years, Leng Zhuo did not dare to be careless.
"I can't make out the name, it's not any known monsters and classes, but looking at the appearance, it's quite like a unicorn, horseshoe, antlers, fish scale armor, horsehair, and the whole body is burning with red flames, it seems that it can walk away in the air, and I know from the tongue that they call this and the monster a fire beast. Sticker bar shake hands and play dedication. And the ability to possess is to hold the flame, and the commonly used flame ability is the flame cloak, fire dragon spray, and flame rain!"
"How many pings there are, do you know!"
"No more than a hundred, it should be an elite beast warrior horse, in addition to hundreds of guard flame cavalry, the mount seems to be a fire horse with the blood of a demonic beast!"
"That's all!"
"That's all for the situation, and the Panshi Army in Zilin County, which is occupied in the north, has also found out clearly, this army has about more than 4,000 soldiers and horses, with several battalions of the 54th Brigade of the 11th Division of the Rebel Army as the core, and has successively annexed some stragglers of the Panshi Army, and received some young and strong!"
"Among them, the most noteworthy is that this army has a rock beast rider of about one hundred and fifty heads, and the leader is a high-level earth spirit warrior, listen to Qin" This person is now also the leader of this rock rebellion, and he has gathered a group of earth spirit powerhouses! As for knowing more about this person, it will take some time to mobilize from the rear!"
Hearing Lin Chong say this, Leng Zhuowei thought of the 11th Division, Tan Daoji seemed to be half in this division, and the station of the 11th Division was at the intersection of Songling Mansion and Xiyan Mansion, but now Tan Daoji has neither retreated to the Xiangshui line, nor has he found any trace of it on the flying horse, as if the world has evaporated. It's not just Tan Daoji, a vote of the 12th Division in Jiuchuan Prefecture, Liang Hongyu. Qin Liangyu, Cho Wu, Wu Zixu, Sophia and others have no news now, and Jiuchuan Mansion has been included in the private army of the nobles, except for some places that are under the control of the gate valve.
In addition, Chen Qingzhi, the division commander of the 14th Division, and Pang Juanjun of the 66th Brigade were nowhere to be found, and the last time they got news of them was before the aristocratic army rebelled, when the emperor was defeated and trapped in Ziqiu and other places, he lost contact.
"Is there still no news from General Tan's brigade?"
Lin Chong shook his head and said: "The four mansions of Chuxi are now chaotic, and the Rock Legion is even more fragmented and dismembered, although we have arrested some people and asked, and there are even 52 brigades and regiments, but they were all lost in the previous battle, and they can't find out where to go at all!"
"There are many hills in the four prefectures of Chuxi, and there are even more mountains in the west, so it is difficult for us to find them if we drill them casually!"
"I know, find out as much as you can!" Leng Zhuo rubbed the corners of his eyebrows, telling Lin Chong to retreat. Then he got up and walked out.
The county government stores all the documents in the county, and the materials are added to the study, Leng Zhuo stepped in, and a smell of book mold choked in, and in the space that seemed very dark, there were countless bookshelves densely placed, and they were full of books.
In addition to the official documents and stored documents in the prefecture, there are also county records written according to the almanac, which record all the major events and small events that have happened in a county, from folk customs to geography, and even the annual harvest.
Guo Jia with a few assistants in this study to read the Yunxian chronicles, Guo Jia has not been in this world for a long time, there are too many things to know, and this and the existence of the county chronicles is undoubtedly the most convenient and fast way, although everything in the book does not represent reality, but it can allow him to understand the military, politics, folk customs, production, geography, climate, and even the door valve in a county, the family. fame and so on.
"What can the military advisor find from this county chronicle?" Leng Zhuo walked into the room, looked at the books that were constantly being sorted and packed and ready to be pulled away, found Guo Jia from the sea of books, and asked.
Guo Jia raised his head and was about to get up, but was stopped by Leng Zhuo: "No need to be polite!
"There are some harvests, but whether they can be used or not, you have to go and see for yourself!" Guo Jia said with a smile.
"Oh, let's talk about Chengtinghua first!"
"According to the county chronicles, the county site of Yun County is not here, but in the dirt slope grave outside Yun County, but because of the war, Yun County was destroyed in the two heavenly spirit wars, a city of people killed and injured countless people, the city turned into a piece of rubble, almost into a ghost city, and later rebuilt here the city!"
"Ding"
"Yun County here, according to the county records, was a wine town, in the past there were a lot of plum forests in the county, and the plum wine here can be quite famous, and the county records that there are large winemakers in the county, seven or eight before and after the house, seven or eight courtyards on the left and right, with the home as the workshop, three layers of underground cellars, made of bluestone, the area seems to be the size of the house!"
Leng Zhuo still didn't understand, what did this have to do with the wine cellar, but Guo Jia said with a smile: "The original city site is about two miles away from Yun County, if this place is really as said, then even if the buildings on the ground are destroyed cleanly, the underground wine cellars are likely to remain, and the space in these wine cellars is enough to hide countless soldiers!"
Hearing Guo Jia say this, Leng Zhuo finally got his senses: "What the military advisor means is that the Tibetan soldiers are here, and then they will be killed at a critical time, and then they will blossom inside and outside to break the enemy army!"
"It is precisely this intention that we put on a big battle in Yunxian County, attracting the Holy Sect Army, the Rock Army to attack, and wear down the morale of the enemy army, and then take advantage of the enemy's lack of people to ambush the army and disrupt the enemy army, maybe a battle can be achieved!"
"Okay, but this matter should be kept secret, and we will go there at night, but I heard that there are many graves there, and at night there are ghosts crying wolves, and it is scary!"
Night, soon approached, Leng Zhuo and his entourage quietly went out of the county seat of Yunxian County, and went straight to the grave in the southwest of the city, this grave is actually just a small hill, but the surrounding forests are very lush, obviously few people take here on weekdays.
Walking along the only narrow dirt road, the autumn wind rustles the treetops, but it's a little creepy and a little scary, and this place may be used as a graveyard all year round. Therefore, there will be ghost fires in the air, and it is also thanks to Leng Zhuo that he is a modern person and knows how the ghost fire is sucked, otherwise he may be frightened and turn around and run.
"Strategist, are you alright?"
"Fortunately, with the young master by his side, there is no need to be afraid of ghosts and ghosts, but this place is really ghostly!"
Passing through the woods and entering the mountain bag, the trees suddenly became sparse, and the tombs on the mountain bag were densely packed, and the silver-white moonlight shone down coldly, and there were ghost fires floating between the tombs from time to time.
"Is it down here?" Leng Zhuo asked.
"Well, according to the county records, the old county seat should be under this area!"
"Okay, I'll investigate!" Leng Zhuo said.
(To be continued.)
