Under the hazy moonlight, Sakai Jiro led his men through the nameless path, although the road was difficult and difficult, but for these veterans who have been fighting all year round, no matter how difficult the road is, it is just a trivial matter.

After nearly half an hour of running, they finally arrived at the city of Sanming County, and after a simple count, forty or fifty casualties among a thousand people.

The nameless path can help them reach the city of Sanming, but the road is extremely difficult to walk, surrounded by cliffs, and it is night, and if you are not careful, you will be in danger of falling off the cliff.

Although there were forty or fifty casualties, as long as the raid mission was completed, no matter how heavy the casualties were, it was worth it.

Sakai Jiro swept his gaze and waved his hand, and the people behind him immediately dispersed according to the pre-plan, and sneaked in directly through the back door left by Zhong Liang in advance.

After making sure that there was no danger, the vanguard who took the lead in sneaking in waved his hand at Jiro Sakai, who was hiding.

After a while, Jiro Sakai quickly sneaked in with the last part of the people.

As they thought, at this time, the city of Sanming County was very quiet, and there was not a single patrol soldier in the city at all.

This is also normal, after all, the terrain of Sanming County is superior, surrounded by mountains on three sides, if you want to enter the city, there is only one road in front of you, and most of the troops in the city are drawn around the main road, as for the city, there are basically not many people.

In addition, Sanming County City, this time it is a logistics task, basically far away from the battlefield, even if it is very close to Zuohai County, but there are Dongzhou soldiers in the rear to monitor, who would have thought that someone would sneak attack.

Moreover, the Dongshan Army led by Su Qi'an has already started a battle, and at present, they still have the upper hand, and it is estimated that it will not be long before they recover the land of the two counties, just around the corner.

In this way, the vigilance inside the city is naturally not as high as that outside the city.

And this is exactly what Sakai Jiro wanted, after sneaking into the city, he did not hesitate and immediately ordered, more than nine hundred people immediately dispersed several groups.

According to the information provided, they arrived at the granary in the city one after another, and took out the fire fold on their bodies...

After a while, in the quiet and dark city, a monstrous fire burned in an instant, the fire rose, and the soldiers in the city instantly boiled, and they went out one after another to extinguish the fire.

At the same time, the main streets of the city, the sound of gongs resounded endlessly, and the sounds of various fires came and went, and the city fell into chaos in an instant.

Taking advantage of this chaos, the detachments that had completed their tasks quickly returned to gather, and under the leadership of Jiro Sakai, they fled through the back door of the city before.

From infiltrating into the city, to setting fire to the granary, to finally successfully escaping, it took no more than two quarters of an hour.

And the people who came back, except for more than 100 people who were found and fought with the defenders in the city, the rest of the people returned one after another.

It can be said that this raid mission was completed exceptionally smoothly, even more smoothly than the last raid.

Sakai Jiro stood in the distance with less than 800 people left, watching the monstrous fire rising from the city of Sanmei, and listening to the noise coming from the city.

The emotion on his face was far less excited than that of his subordinates, but his brows were slightly furrowed, for some reason, he always felt that tonight's raid was too smooth.

This smoothness made him feel unspeakably uneasy, and Sakai Jiro's eyes flashed, repeatedly recalling all the steps of this operation

But no matter how he thought about it, he still didn't find anything special about this raid.

After thinking about it to no avail, Sakai Jiro shook his head, and just as he was about to leave with his subordinates, suddenly, a low cold cheer suddenly resounded.

"Jiro Sakai, I didn't expect you to really hit the idea of the granary of Sanming County, you're here, do you think you can still go?"

Sakai Jiro raised his head violently, and in front of him, Wu Dingguo's figure suddenly appeared, and there were countless Dongzhou soldiers who appeared with him.

Looking at the Dongzhou soldiers who surrounded him, Sakai Jiro was not afraid at all, but there was a strong excitement on his face, which was the scene he wanted to see.

It's not that he insists on looking for death, but as a raider, in a raid mission like this, even if he is caught off guard by hitting others, the other party is basically by virtue of his numerical advantage

Destroys all enemies that come on strike.

In this raid, Sakai Jiro didn't plan to go back alive, anyway, his goal had been achieved, 50,000 stone granaries were burned, and the Dongzhou soldiers were no longer able to take the initiative to launch a large-scale attack in a short period of time.

The scales of victory, from this moment on, have been tilted in their favor, as long as they can complete the task, what is it to die here.

How could such an important granary as Sanming County City not be heavily guarded, Wu Dingguo appeared here, and Sakai Jiro was not surprised at all.

With a thick excitement on his face, he drew his knife and shouted at Wu Dingguo.

"Brothers, the time has come to repay His Majesty the Emperor, so kill me with me!"

Then, Jiro Sakai took the lead and rushed straight over.

A group of Dongzhou soldiers, also aggressive, under the order of Wu Dingguo, launched an attack on Sakai Jiro and other 800 people.

The battle between the two sides broke out in an instant, and all kinds of roars mixed with the sound of weapons slashing resounded outside the city.

At the same time, about forty or fifty miles away from the county town of Sanming, there was a remote road, and Zhong Liang rode a horse and galloped all the way.

After passing through a forest, Zhong Liang reined in the horse rope, slowed down slightly, seemed to feel something, raised his head, and looked into the distance, the direction he looked in was not somewhere else, it was Sanming County.

Although there was nothing in the distance, just darkness, according to Zhong Liang's estimate, most of the current Sanming County City was in a fierce battle.

The granary was burned, and Su Qi'an, who originally had the upper hand, would most likely withdraw from the army, thus losing the opportunity to recover the land of the two counties.

But these have little to do with him, as the old saying goes, people die for money, birds die for food, and he Zhong Liang does not regret taking such a road.

Zhong Liang took a deep breath, clamped his legs between his horses, and was about to leave, but he didn't take a few steps, and suddenly, an arrow swished, piercing the night sky and shooting at the foot of the horse's hooves.

Zhong Liang's eyes froze, one hand held the horse rope, and the other hand was already on the hilt of the knife at his waist, he scolded coldly, "Someone, don't hide your head and tail, come out for me!"

The shouting fell, and after a while, in the darkness ahead, a figure slowly walked out.

Zhong Liang looked at it and said in surprise, "It's you?"

This person is none other than Fang Jingzhi, and he is still a little familiar with this person Zhong Liang, not only because this person is currently following Su Qi'an's side and is a big celebrity around him.

Mainly a few years ago, Fang Jingzhi was on the front line of Dongzhou for a few years as the county magistrate of Jianghe County, and the Jianghe County Magistrate at that time was one of his jurisdictions, and he dealt with him a lot in those years.

It's just that most of the interactions back then were some unpleasant memories.

Without waiting for Zhong Liang to speak, Fang Jingzhi arched his hand and said softly, "Hehe, I haven't seen you for a long time, Zhong Dudu, I didn't expect to see Zhong Dudu in this wilderness, I don't know why Zhong Dudu is alone, and he is wearing night clothes, walking in such a hurry, why is it?"

Zhong Liang's face changed, he quickly regained his composure, and said with a smile, "Oh, it turned out to be the Fang County Order, we have indeed not seen each other for a long time, but now is not the time to catch up, the Governor of Pontus received an order from the Governor of the Metropolis, asking me to return to the state city as soon as possible, and I have important matters to discuss, and I also asked the County Commander to get out of the way, so as not to delay the time of the Governor of Ponto."

Saying that, Zhong Liang wanted to ride a horse and headed towards Fang Jingzhi.

However, just as he was acting, Fang Jingzhi's cold voice suddenly sounded.

"I advise Zhong Dudu to be less rash, and take a step forward, and the lower officials do not guarantee that Zhong Dudu will not be shot into a sieve."

The moment Fang Jingzhi's voice fell, in the darkness behind him, the sound of several bowstring pulls was obviously.

Zhong Liang hurriedly stopped his horse, he said coldly with a little anger on his face.

"What do you mean by this? Ambushed so many people in advance and waited for the governor of Pontus, could it be that he wanted to kill the governor of Pontus. You are so bold, who gave you the guts..."

Zhong Liang's scolding did not stop, and he had the intention of continuing, at this time, Fang Jingzhi raised his head, looked at Zhong Liang with an indifferent face, and said indifferently.

"Zhong Dudu, what are you, the lower officials are still clear, if you want to take the opportunity to hold the lower officials, this set of thoughts should be restrained, with Zhong Dudu's intelligence, you should be able to guess why the lower officials are here, and why they have the courage to do it to you."

As soon as these words came out, Zhong Liang's face was instantly stunned, and the hand on the hilt of the knife couldn't help but clench, what Fang Jingzhi said was right, he really wanted to take advantage of the undecided situation just now to hold Fang Jingzhi hostage with the momentum of thunder.

But he didn't expect it to be seen by him, this is not what Zhong Liang was shocked about, what he was shocked was that everything he did was expected by others, more precisely, everything about him, step by step into the inducement of others?

Without waiting for Zhong Liang to think, Fang Jingzhi's voice sounded again.

"Zhong Dudu, you are right, every step you take, whether it is the reminder given to you by the Grand Governor in advance, or the Inspector asking you to escort the grain and grass, or even tonight, you deliberately passed the news to Sakai Jiro, asking him to raid the city of Sanming, burn down the granary, and even the back road you thought for yourself, everything was expected by the Inspector."

"And the task of the lower officials is to take people in advance and ambush you must pass through the road of Zhongdudu."

"Originally, the Inspector wanted to give you a chance to do it again in front of the Grand Governor, and the Grand Governor reminded you like this, but you were obsessed and had to go down this wrong path, which is a pity."

"Zhong Dudu, do you plan to arrest him, or let the subordinate go back with your corpse, you choose."

Fang Jingzhi's words made Zhong Liang's face pale, he was not afraid of Fang Jingzhi's threat to him.

But everything was really the same as he thought, starting from his escort, even if there was a reminder from the Metropolitan Governor on the way, but in the end, the way he walked was still in the calculation of the overseer.

It can be said that this is a blatant conspiracy, he originally had a chance to change, and Su Qi'an also gave him the way to re-election, but after all, he was defeated by his own selfishness, and now he understands, but it is too late to understand.
