In the mountains and forests by the river, there are fires, and under the light of the fire, the sparkling river surface glows with a charming light in the night, as if countless diamonds are beating.

The shadows of the trees and the figures of the people in a row were reflected in the river, rippling with the ripples.

"Quick, give me a little faster one by one."

As Chen Mo finished giving the order, after the two put on the armor, the commander of the thousand soldiers passed the order to the centurion, and the centurion conveyed the order to the ten commanders, and the ten commanders urged the ordinary soldiers below.

The pro-barracks and the Divine Guards are the best military discipline in the whole army, and no one will fail to keep up with the rhythm, and it only took a quarter of an hour from the time the order was given to the time when the dress was completed.

"Sun Meng." Chen Mo said.

"The subordinates are here." Sun Menggong said.

"You take the pro-military camp to the rear of Xiaotian Town, and after an hour, I will take the rest of the people to attack Xiaotian Town from the front, and your task is to prevent anyone in the city from leaving through the back door to report to the Huai Army." Chen Mo said.

Xiao Tian Zhen and Liu Ji said, it is very small, and it is enough to go around the back of the city in an hour.

"No." Sun Meng replied heavily.

In Xiaotian Town, Xiao Shou, the chief general who led the troops to guard Xiaotian Town, had already slept, and there was still a map of the surrounding areas of Xiaotian Town on the table, but the age was too old to be meaningless.

Xiao Shou is the younger generation of the Xiao family, a seven-rank martial artist, who came to Xiaotian Town to guard, just to make a show and gild.

Because of the remote location of Xiaotian Town, the army did not value it, and only sent a thousand men and horses to guard it, so Xiao Shou naturally became even more lax.

After all, if there is really an enemy army coming, let Huainan County not fight, and come to fight Xiaotian Town, won't it be full of food.

No matter what the war, the first opportunity is important.

For the sake of a small town that has no strategic value, it is not worth losing the opportunity.

"Bang"

At this moment, a loud bang came from a distance, and the teacups on the table fell to the ground with tremors and fell to pieces.

Then came the rumbling of war drums, and the curious beasts were galloping.

Xiao Shou woke up suddenly, turned over from the bed and sat up.

At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside the house, and soon the door crackled.

"General, it's no good, a thief has come into the city."

"What?!"

Hearing this, Xiao Shou panicked in his heart, grabbed a sword from the side, didn't wear any armor, walked out of the room quickly, and roared at the soldiers who came to report: "Where are the thieves from Xiaotian Town?" ”

Knock Knock Knock –

At this time, the sound of war drums sounded chaotically from outside.

"General, no. Oh no. ”

Another pro-soldier ran over in a panic, because he didn't see the road clearly, he accidentally fell to the ground, but the pro-soldier didn't care about the pain, and crawled in front of Xiao Shou, and said, "Oh no, general, Chen Jun on the other side is coming!" ”

Hearing this, if Xiao Shou was just flustered just now, now he is trembling from the bottom of his heart.

Chen Jun, that's an existence that even the prince has a headache.

How could he not be afraid.

But before he could give the order on what to do, a team of personal soldiers ran in with a frightened face and said, "General, it's not good, the Chen army has already called this side, and the people outside are almost unable to hold it, general, let's withdraw." ”

As he spoke, outside Xiao Shou's residence, there was already a sound of shouting and wailing.

Hearing this, Xiao Shou's face turned a little whiter, he just came to "gild", but he didn't want to put his life on the line in this broken county.

"Withdraw, withdraw."

Xiao Shou didn't let anyone clean up his things, so he turned around and ran towards the back door with his sword.

The pro-soldiers quickly followed.

Although Xiao Shou's defense of Xiaotian Town is relatively lax, he is still relatively familiar with the terrain in the city.

Through the understanding of the terrain in the city, Xiao Shou and more than a dozen personal soldiers beside him did not let Chen Jun, who had already entered the city, find out, and quietly came to the back city gate, called the city gate, and slipped out of the city.

When Xiao Shou thought that he had escaped, he didn't walk long before a large group of black shadows appeared on both sides of the road.

"Don't move."

"Lay down your weapons and crouch down."

"Surrender or kill!"

Sun Meng took the pro-military camp and surrounded Xiao Shou's dozen people.

Soon, Chen Mo arrived with his pursuers, escorted Xiao Shou and the others back to the city, and locked them up.

Then, Chen Mo asked the Divine Guards to block the entire city, not allowing anyone to enter or leave.

From the siege of the city to the blockade of Xiaotian Town, Chen Mo only took less than half an hour.

The city gate of Xiaotian Town was really vulnerable, and Chen Mo didn't use a fire pot bomb, so he kicked it open directly.

The most outrageous thing is that the defenders on the city wall are actually sleeping, and only after Chen Mo entered the city did they react, and they exploded in an instant, and ran behind the bunker in a panic, looking for helmets and weapons bows and crossbows, but it was obviously too late.

After Chen Mo ordered a volley, these defenders were frightened, ran away, and surrendered.

The whole process was extremely smooth, more than 500 Huai soldiers were captured, and the casualties of Shen Yongwei were no more than 100.

However, Chen Mo's purpose is not this remote Xiaotian Town, what he wants to fight is Huainan County in the end.

He asked Sun Meng to personally return to Wangcheng and bring Ke Da's army over.

After crossing the river, he did not come to Xiaotian Town to land, but directly attacked Huainan County.

The yamen of Oda Town is brightly lit.

At the end of June, even at night, it was sweltering.

Chen Mo formed a circle with the commanders and centurions below, and on the table in the circle, there was a hand-drawn map, which was captured just now.

"There is a mountain road here, from which you can go around to the rear of Huainan County, and then wait for the main force to arrive and attack from front to back before you have a chance to capture Huainan County." Liu Jidao.

But Chen Mo shook his head: "Since it is an important town, the city wall is definitely not like Xiaotian Town, the siege battle, ten will attack it, our men and horses plus the main force, even if Huainan Town is taken, the casualties are huge, it is not cost-effective." ”

"Then Master Hou, what do you mean" Liu Ji's pupils shrank, and then he couldn't help but say: "Encircle the point to send reinforcements?!" ”

Chen Mo glanced at Liu Ji and said with appreciation: "Okay, in the end, can King Huai send him to Jiangdong as an envoy, or have a few brushes." ”

Then he said: "Once Huainan County is attacked, it will inevitably ask for help from Wuguan, Beiwu and other counties, so I will eat them on the way they must come to help." ”

Chen Mo slapped the table heavily.

The so-called soldier is fast.

After the on-site investigation early the next morning, Chen Mo left 500 men and horses to blockade Xiaotian Town to prevent the leakage of news, and also guarded and surrendered.

He took the rest of the men and horses and Liu Ji to the rear of Huainan County through the mountain road.
