On the second day, the gates of the city, which had been closed for a whole day and two nights, were finally opened in the morning.

However, on the streets of the city, no one dared to come out.

The people outside the city gate also seemed to notice that something was wrong, and no one was guarding the gate.

Lu Yuan rode his jujube red horse, wore armor, and after doing enough protection, he led the four hundred army out of the city.

In yesterday's battle, because the leaders with the highest force were besieged and killed in advance, and then the seven party henchmen were caught off guard.

The county soldiers are well-equipped and prepared in advance, and there are those warriors who have trained their internal strength, or third-rate experts who lead the killing, so they are naturally invincible.

So the losses of his soldiers were not high.

In the end, only seven unlucky ghosts died, and a dozen or so others were injured. These wounded, as well as some of the remaining people, were left in the county seat by Lu Yuan and were responsible for guarding their homes.

The other county soldiers in good condition were brought out today, preparing to exterminate those Miao villages.

At this time, I saw that the officers and soldiers were in high morale, holding a knife in their left hand, a bow in their right hand, and a set of leather armor on their bodies, and their steps were firmly following the county lieutenant.

No wonder they're so excited.

Because just before the camp was pulled out today, the county lieutenant sent down the reward for yesterday's battle. All the soldiers were given ten taels of money, and the officials were promoted step by step.

The reward was given in his hand, and he was killed again yesterday, although these recruits did not have much experience, but at this time they also had more momentum.

At least.

For the rabble in these counties, it is not very eye-catching.

Miao people......

As a mountain people, these soldiers have a lot of dealings with each other on weekdays, how can they not know the details of these poor haha.

is a bit brave, fighting for a moment of blood, and daring to kill.

But are they just bad?

Not to mention that now one is an official and the other is a thief, representing the righteousness of the court, and the soldiers naturally have an extra layer of superiority psychologically.

Coupled with this sophisticated equipment, the gathered military array, and the blessing of yesterday's great victory, the confidence is even stronger.

This expedition to exterminate the Miao people, everyone firmly believes that they can do this.

Lu Yuan rode on horseback, he was already in the first-class realm, his various senses improved in a straight line, and he was naturally keenly aware of the high morale of the soldiers around him, so he couldn't help nodding slightly: "Morale is available, this is the victory." ”

Just like those low-level soldiers, he also believes that it will not be a problem to exterminate the Miao people in this battle.

With so many soldiers and horses, such a high morale, and then having his own first-class master to suppress the formation, it was a sudden attack.

With such a luxurious lineup, if you can lose, what the hell?

Therefore, there will be no changes in this battle, unless those Miao people still have some hidden back, or have found foreign aid.

"But that's too unlikely. In this kind of remote county, no matter how capable the Miao people in the countryside are, what can they hide? What helpers can I find? ”

Lu Yuan thought about it, and couldn't help but smile at his thoughts: "I was worried about everything. ”

It's going to be okay this time, and it's going to be okay.

……

The other side.

Just when the county sent troops to prepare to destroy the remaining three surnamed Miao.

One of the three surnames in Wugang County, in the Bai village, several elders of the clan gathered, and at this time, in the largest hall in the country, they greeted a distinguished guest who came out of the mountain.

"White-eyed Elder, it's not that my clan refuses to cooperate with the Holy Sect. But just the day before yesterday, a new county man came to the county seat. And he didn't come alone, but brought a whole five hundred officers and soldiers.

With so many officers and soldiers guarding the city, even if I exhaust all the adult males in the city, I won't be able to defeat the county seat. ”

In the conference hall, an old man with a wrinkled face said to a middle-aged man in a white robe with white eyes in front of him.

This white-robed middle-aged man is what he calls a white-eyed elder.

At the same time, he is also the Five Poison Sect in the population of the rivers and lakes, and the elder of the Five Holy Sect in the eyes of the Miao people.

The seedlings in the mountains came out of the mountain last time, and they took the opportunity to lay down the unprepared Wugang County. But it didn't take long to occupy the county seat, and the counterinsurgency army of the county government came and drove these seedlings out directly.

However, these days, the Five Poisons Sect heard the news that because of the earthquake in Xichuan County, there was a group of Qiang people who couldn't survive and chose to rebel.

Then he attacked the city everywhere and captured the prefecture and county, and the momentum was huge.

Up to now, two prefectures and cities in Xichuan County have fallen, and the rest of the small county towns have been captured by more than a dozen, and the localities cannot be controlled.

Therefore, the Xichuan County Shou asked the imperial court to send troops to rescue.

But now, there is an invasion of the Liang people in the north of the imperial court, the Jinghai Kingdom in the south, and pirates along the coast, and rebellions are frequent in various places.

In this case, how can you still draw troops?

Therefore, if you look left and right, you can see all the counties in the world, and the situation in Dongting County is a little more stable, and there is also a more capable county army.

So the decree came down, and the imperial court transferred the 30,000 soldiers of Dongting County to the west to assist Xichuan County in suppressing the Qiang rebellion.

That's why.

Therefore, when Sun Siwen went to the post this time, the county government knew that there were rebellious people in Wugang County, but it did not send troops to escort him. He could only give a small amount of three thousand taels of silver, and let him recruit soldiers on his own to take office.

Just because these 30,000 county soldiers left, the firefighting team that originally suppressed Dongting County and supported everywhere was gone.

And the Five Poisons Sect, which had been encouraging Miao to rebel, saw this situation, and there was no heavy pressure on his head, and he instantly smelled the opportunity to make an incident.

So while gathering the seedlings in the mountains, they also sent envoys everywhere, preparing to agitate the mature seedlings from all over the country to set off a huge rebellion together.

This time, the white-eyed elder came out of the mountain to unite the three surnamed Miao people in the county and attack the county seat together.

However, now that I have just come into contact with the local Miao people, I heard such a sudden news.

The white-eyed elder frowned: "Why did so many officers and soldiers suddenly come?" Didn't I remember that all the soldiers in the county were transferred? Where did these people come from? ”

The old man who had spoken shook his head: "I don't know the specific situation. However, the 500 officers and soldiers were indeed seen by many people in the city. Our patriarch is now going to meet the new county chief with the other two patriarchs, and is ready to discuss the future governance of the county.

Two days ago, he specially sent someone back to inform us that those new officers and soldiers looked very difficult to mess with, and they should be elite.

Let the people in our clan be honest these days and not make trouble, so as not to attract the targeting of officers and soldiers. ”

Old Man Bai Miao told what he knew, then looked at Elder Baiyan and kindly reminded: "Those Yue officers and soldiers have five hundred people, and they have a city wall to rely on, if you want to defeat him, you need four or five thousand people, at least.

Although I have invaded my three surnamed Miao, I can also make up so many men.

But there are still those Yue people with surnames and gangs in the city, and these forces can also make up one or two thousand people.

They are all Yue people, and it is impossible to help us Miao people.

If we besiege the city, we may provoke a revolt from the Vietnamese people in the city.

This time, they were on guard, and it was impossible to raid the county seat and take it easily like they did last time. ”
