Chapter 696: Zhouzhuang Sneak Attack

Zhouzhuang is a town, but it is the north and south, the east and west two official roads are connected, and there is a river flowing through the south of Zhouzhuang, bypassing the north of Zhuang, and finally flowing into the water.

Although this river is not wide, but the amount of water is quite abundant, except for the rainy season in winter every year, along this river can even go straight into the water, can be the prosperity of Zhouzhuang in this convenient transportation, from here to the northeast five miles, is the undulating hills, the north, is the remaining vein of Xiangshan.

After the Holy Sect army occupied Zhouzhuang, it regarded this place as an important transit, north, can enter Yingtan, east can go to Xiangshan, and down the river can reach Dongping, after the Holy Cult Army was driven out in Pingyao, it will take Zhouzhuang as the foundation, gather troops.

Because of entering the east of Xiyan Mansion, the influence of the Holy Sect has been greatly weakened, because the three counties in the east are across the river is the Suzaku Mansion, which is only more than two hundred miles away from the Vermilion Bird City, so it is more affected by the Vermilion Bird City, and before the Chuzhou turmoil, this place has always been the Huang family's sphere of influence.

Therefore, in Songling Mansion and the surrounding areas, the Holy Sect army was like a bamboo, and the situation of gathering Jingcong did not happen in Xiyan Mansion, and even the counties of Xiyan Mansion had the power gathered by the gate lords, and the Holy Sect army was cleaning up the interior while expanding, so the elite soldiers and horses were scattered everywhere, but it was not as strong as when he led the imperial army with Chen Nan.

A clenched fist and an outstretched palm, the latter is undoubtedly easier to deal with.

Northeast of Zhouzhuang, Tongluo Village, about five miles away from Zhouzhuang, but here three or four miles to the north is already the foot of the branch vein of Xiangshan, the fragrant maple tree of Xiangshan has changed its color, the sky is full of red, like a burning flame.

In this chaotic Chuxi, no one can escape the war", and the Tongluo Village naturally cannot escape, this village with less than 200 households, after a team of holy religious flags settled, the tranquility of the village was beaten.

The richest rich man in the village, the Tong family was directly copied, and the family wealth was filled with the Holy Religion, and this is not counted, the Tong family sister was defiled and finally committed suicide by throwing herself into the well, and the banner master of the Holy Religion also gathered the whole village, in front of everyone, burned the IOUs borrowed by the villagers and the debts owed:

However, not many people in Tongluo Village have a good impression of this holy religion, because Master Tong is very popular in the village, and those IOUs are also borrowed when the village is not in good age and has an accident at home, and Master Tong has never sent someone to urge. The most important thing is that one-third of the people in the village are relatives of the Tong family, and the entire Jingzi people work in the Tong family's bronze workshop.

However, in the face of the sword soldiers, the people of Tong Village finally bowed their heads, listen, there are at least ten Thousand Saints Sect soldiers in Zhouzhuang, and the total population of Tongluo Village is only more than 100.

In the days that followed, there seemed to be some changes in the village, in the house of the old man Tong, the Holy Sect was enshrined, and the young people in the village were incorporated into the Holy Sect Army, and a tall wooden tower was erected at the entrance of the village. In addition, there doesn't seem to be much change, but Master Tong has become a king.

Tong Cheng, an orphan selected by the Tong family, has been working in the Tong family, and the task is to help the eldest sister catch the car and run errands, but he and the eldest sister grew up together, and Tong Cheng is the eldest sister. There has always been a bit of love hidden in his heart, but he has never had it, because he is just a subordinate

But now that the eldest sister is dead, although Tong Cheng didn't see it in person, he knew that the eldest sister was "forced" to death by that flag, Tong Cheng didn't rush over like crazy, because the other party's actual action was not something he could deal with, so he chose to serve it, he wanted to get the other party's appreciation, but get close to the other party, and then at an appropriate time, avenge the eldest sister.

And he did it very successfully, after the expansion of the soldiers and horses, this flag has become the team flag, and he has become one of the two flags, and he now needs to be a time, a time to kill the other party, but it will not implicate the village. 's mind became clear, and soon, they were going to attack Pingyao, and on the battlefield, they could always find an opportunity, Tong Cheng thought, and clenched the short knife on his waist, this talisman short knife, or the eldest sister personally asked people to build it for him.

Overhead, the stars were dotted, the bright moon was shining, but Tong Cheng left the village, in the bright moonlight. Down, he came to a hillside outside the village, where there was a tomb of his sister, although there was no monument in this tomb.

The moon, a little cold, makes people feel a trace of sadness in their hearts, Tong Cheng came to the top of the slope, but he has not yet come out of his own dare not miss in front of the tomb, love, a cold light suddenly pierced the night, and swept towards him.

Tong Cheng was startled when he saw this cold light, and moved back under his feet, but he stepped into the air and went backwards, but he avoided the knife by chance, but Tong Cheng had no chance to resist, and several black shadows had already pounced.

"Catch it alive, bring it back for questioning!" said a dark shadow.

Tong Cheng was tied up, sturdy, and under the push of several soldiers, he walked out of the woods at the foot of the northern foothills, and in the gloomy woods, he looked like a hideous beast, and there was an oppressive aura.

The moonlight like water passed through the branches that were not luxuriant, and a few red leaves drifted down, Tong Cheng was pushed and came to a glade, and under the moonlight, several military generals dressed in shiny clothes and obviously generals appeared in front of him.

"Let go of him!" Ma Chao glanced at Tong Cheng and ordered at the soldier.

"You're from the village ahead?"

Tong Cheng nodded: "Yes, I grew up in Tongluo Village!"

"Tongluo Village, how far is this village from Zhouzhuang, how many Holy Sect soldiers are stationed in your village?" Although there were guides who went all the way along the mountain road to the west, they didn't know the exact location, so they sent people to scratch their tongues.

"After Tongluo Village, five miles southwest is Zhouzhuang, but you have to cross a river! Are you the emperor?"

Tan Xuanxiang Ding, the Holy Sect soldier, didn't seem to panic, but was a little excited, but nodded and said: "We are the emperor, you don't seem to be very afraid!"

Tong Cheng smiled and said, "Ruhong, if you believe me, I can help you take Tongluo Village, and even take you to cross the river from a place where the river swims, but I also have one condition!"

"Conditions, not wanting your life is already considered merciful, and you still dare to talk about conditions, believe it or not...... ,!”

Xie Xuan waved his hand to interrupt Pei Yuanqing's words, and instead said, "Your conditions, if I can do it!"

"I want to join the emperor, after taking Tongluo Village, the team flag I grabbed will mainly be handed over to me for disposal!" Tong Cheng said very seriously:

"Heh, do you think you have a deep hatred for him?"

"He killed the benefactor's family, and also 'forced' the eldest sister to death, I hate to eat meat and drink its blood, but my strength is too weak to beat him, I originally planned to go to Pingyao in two days, looking for an opportunity to attack on the battlefield!"

Xie Xuan groaned for a moment, looked at Tong Cheng, and said, "I agreed to your conditions, General Wang, you take someone to Tongluo Village, and we will arrive later!"

Wang Yanzhang nodded, and beckoned his subordinates, some of the big ones took the raised children to Tongluo Village, but the mastiff under Wang Yanzhang's command rarely made a sound when running, and he had a keen sense of smell, so it was best to use it as a striker for raids.

"Stop, the brothers on duty at night are all from the village, and they were all forcibly pulled into the Holy Sect by the other party. These people don't have a good impression of the Holy Sect, wait a minute, I will have people turn on the guard, so as not to make a noise and alarm the people in the village!"

Wang Yanzhang glanced at Tong Cheng and said, "You can go, but if you report the news, the whole village will suffer!"

"My lord, isn't it too risky!"

"If this person is true, he can't help!" According to the guide, there is indeed a river with a lot of water to the east of Zhouzhuang, and the river can only be passed by a large wooden bridge. There must be soldiers and horses guarding it, and the river is next to Zhouzhuang, and there are soldiers and horses stationed nearby, which is almost a natural moat, and if this river is not solved, their surprise attack will also be hindered.

Tong Cheng quickly walked out again, but there were more than two people behind him: "These are all from our village, all of them are following me, and the other members of the Holy Sect are stationed in the Tong family compound." The number of people is about the beginning of the day, and they are all dedicated to the Holy Sect, and we will take you in, as long as you act quickly, it should not alarm anyone!"

With Neiying's help, he only dealt with the banner of the Holy Sect with less than four people, and the captain of the flag of the Holy Sect was just a psychic, but there was a third-order fanged beast, in front of this young man, he was a big man who couldn't be provoked, but under Wang Yanzhang's big iron gun, he didn't even make a move, he was beaten and vomited blood, and the rest was naturally handed over to Tong Cheng.

Tong Cheng brought people into the secret room, and it took more than half a time before he came out with a body of serum, and said to Wang Yanzhang in the living room: "Thank you for the fulfillment of your lord!"

"It's nothing, you know you can cross the river without the eyes and ears of the Holy Sect, but really?"

"Well, it's true, it may not work at other times, but now it's late autumn. At the beginning of winter, the amount of water in Zhou Shui is greatly reduced, and I know that there is a place to swim, in this catty. It's time to wade through!"

With a ding, people who are familiar with the place as guides, Xuan Xuan and his entourage quickly crossed the Zhoushui from a shallow beach, and continued to the west, detouring to the west of Zhouzhuang, and at this time, the sky has been covered with a trace of fish belly white.

"We went directly from the official road in the west, drove straight in, I and General Pei went straight to Zhouzhuang, General Ma led his subordinates, killed to the south of Zhouzhuang, General Wang killed to the north of Zhouzhuang, and we will definitely defeat the enemy of Zhouzhuang in one fell swoop!"

Xie Xuan turned over and rode his own curly "hairy" beast, while the other soldiers and horses also removed their chews, took off their footcloths, and turned over their horses one after another: "Attack!"

As Xie Xuan wielded the Sancai Sword, the heavy army led by Xie Xuan, Ma Chao, Pei Yuanqing, and Wang Yanzhang followed the official road, killed Zhouzhuang from the west, and launched a surprise attack at a close enough distance. The Holy Sect army in Zhouzhuang was completely unalert, and it wasn't until the heavy army approached that the dozing sentinels rang the gong, but it was already too late.

"Kill!" Pei Yuanqing rode the overlord golden beetle directly into an arrow tower, and took the lead in rushing into the word street entrance of Zhouzhuang, and the surprise attack of Zhouzhuang broke out:
