Chapter 197: The army arrives
On the other side, after a few days of trekking, Jiang Jiu and the army finally reached the city of Melle.
……
As soon as the sky was bright, the city gate slowly opened, and some people from the suburbs who sold vegetables and things were the first to enter, and the city guards at the city gate yawned one by one.
"Captain, the weather is getting a little colder, I'm afraid it will snow in a few days, the other teams are getting firewood money, shouldn't we also ......" A thin soldier came to the captain's side and said with a smile.
"I said monkey, it's at least a month before it snows, and you can't afford to drink if you want to." The captain laughed and cursed.
"Hehe, yes, you still know me." The little soldier named Monkey smiled and rubbed his hands together to look at the captain.
"Go ahead, but don't go too far, I've been investigating hard lately, and I can't help if something happens." The captain waved at the monkey, but no matter how he got the money, the big head would always be his, but the attitude of this little soldier made him like it.
"Don't worry, I'll do ......," the monkey said mid-sentence, when he suddenly froze, and then suddenly leaned to the ground and listened. He wasn't on guard, nor was he specifically responsible for probing for information, but at the moment he was moving much faster than the experienced, tall, and good-looking city guards.
The captain was stunned when he saw it, and frowned: "Monkey, what are you doing?" ”
"The army... There is a large army, at least a few thousand people......" The monkey himself was a little incredulous, but then listened and nodded affirmatively at the captain.
"You just drank it, how much did you drink, there are still thousands of people, this is the city of Mole, and there are hundreds of thousands of troops stationed outside......" the captain reprimanded angrily.
"I know that too, but ......" The monkey didn't know how to explain it, so he shook his head helplessly, looked at the terrain around him, and then at the spare horses that were tied there.
At this time, several other people around were also bursting into laughter, saying everything.
While they were laughing, the captain suddenly felt the ground tremble, not just him, but everyone else felt the ground tremble slightly. Everyone's eyes were looking into the distance at this moment, only to see that where the sun had not yet risen in the east, a puff of smoke and dust was billowing out, and then a torrent of troops rushed over.
"It's not good, the enemy is attacking, close the city gate quickly, and ...... immediately" The captain saw it and immediately panicked.
"Captain, don't, don't, like... It looks like it's our own people. The monkey blinked his eyes, and at this moment his eyes, which were always hazy, became unclear, and gradually, someone could see clearly that a fat man in the front was holding a big flag, and the big flag had a big tiger character.
At this moment, when the originally hazy-eyed monkey saw General Ouyang at the front, his body straightened violently, his eyes were firm, his eyes were bright, and his face was faintly excited.
And those people who knew the monkey before, including the captain, were already dumbfounded, is this still the monkey who is greedy and cheap, and knows how to drink every day?
"Captain, how... What to do? A few recruits on the side were already panicking and ran to the captain's side.
"How do I know, report the ......," the captain shouted angrily, to one of his tall men.
"Yes!"
After the tall man heard the captain's words, he ran away, "Report ~ Vice General Wang, something is wrong!" An army is coming towards us! ”
"What! Where is the Great Army? When Vice General Wang, who was in the city tower, heard the soldier's words, he picked up the big knife beside him and rushed out.
"Outside the city, the horses are going to the city!"
"What!" Vice General Wang was startled when he heard this, and hurriedly climbed the city tower to look at the army not far from the city, and when he saw the big flag with the tiger character, his heart was finally put back in his stomach. Turning to the tall soldier, he scolded him, "To Lao Tzu, won't you see it clearly and report it?" I'm scared to death, are you blind? Is it impossible to see such a big tiger character? Are you a pig? Yes! ”
"Vice General Wang, I didn't know that word was a tiger character......" The tall soldier said with some grievances.
"I don't know, you're still reasonable. Lie about the military situation, and you go and get ten sticks yourself! After Vice Admiral Wang finished speaking, he ignored him.
"Yes!" The soldier answered loudly, saluted, withdrew, and took the punishment.
……
Three thousand soldiers, all wearing cyan military uniforms and silver light armor, protected the vital positions of their bodies. The weapons in each hand's hands are new, shining with the cold light under the winter sun. The three thousand people were arranged neatly, each with their heads held high and in high spirits, one by one, like a long sword out of the sheath, exuding an aura of slaughter.
