Chapter 64
Before dawn, Boren left Changsheng Fort and headed for Suide County with a small troop of cavalry.Zhang Zongxian also got up and went to the gate of the fort and the rest of the cavalry were waiting for Boren's news.

Amidst the slogan of "grab money, grab food, grab women", Du Qianhu took the lead and led the horse team straight to Changsheng Fort, and Wang Qianhu also organized his troops and went to the county town to kill.Master Ma walked last with his luggage.

Ignore the villages and towns passing by along the way and go straight to the goal.The villages and towns along the road have already received Zhang Zongxian's notice that all households have closed their doors.Watching these officers and soldiers go.

Boren's team was rushing to Suide County on the official road, when one of the team, Ye Bushou, recruited by Yu Nong from the side wall, suddenly stopped the team.

After the team stopped, Boren was about to ask what was going on, when he saw the man leaned down from his horse and pressed his ears to the ground, then his face changed drastically and he said:

"There are at least two thousand cavalry coming two miles ahead of the battalion commander."

"What two thousand rides?"

Aren't the officers and soldiers transiting the border?How could he not hesitate to expend horsepower to rush there.It's only like this when you encounter an enemy!
Boren thought he had made a mistake not listening that night, so he asked him to listen carefully.

That night, he felt strange even if he didn't accept it, and then he pressed his ears to the ground again.Everyone also held their breath for fear of disturbing him.

Guolu Wuxi got up that night and said:

"The battalion commander heard correctly that there are [-] cavalrymen rushing, and soon we will confront them."

Now that it has been confirmed that Boren did not hesitate to issue an order to everyone:

"Go up and see what's going on, and if my gestures are wrong, turn around and go back to the castle immediately."

It didn't take long to see the dust raised by cavalry running on the official road in the distance.

Boren still wanted to take a closer look, but was directly held back by that night:
"The battalion commander and these cavalry are not good at coming here! They haven't even raised the flag, so go back and report to the county lord, let me go and find out their details."

After all, Boren was young and still wanted to go forward and explore again. That night, Buren pulled Boren's horse and said earnestly:
"Battalion Commander, go back and report to the county magistrate! If these cavalry are allowed to rush into the fort, it will be over. The safety of the county magistrate is very important!"

Looking at Ye Bushou's firm eyes, Boren gritted his teeth and said:
"Take care of yourself"

Turn around and run back with the men and horses.

That night, if he didn't accept it, he first led the horse to hide in the mountain depression, and climbed up the slope to wait for the cavalry to come over.

Soon those cavalrymen passed the official road non-stop. That night, roughly [-] horsemen passed by just now. Most of them wore Ming army iron helmets and cloth face armor holding three-eyed fire Guns, and a small number of them are dressed in messy clothes and carry bows and arrows on their backs.

Ye Bushou immediately understood that this was the horse bandit and the official army coming together, and just wanted to get up
Looking for the horse, I saw a large puff of smoke and dust on the official road in the distance.

Quickly leaned down to hide, and after two quarters of an hour, that is, half an hour, a large infantry army appeared on the official road and was marching in a hurry.They are all dressed up as officials and soldiers, and there are no banners, but they are full of murderous looks.

After taking a look at the number of infantry, the rough model did not accept that night and did not dare to delay the infantry. Before the infantry arrived, he rode his horse and detoured to Changsheng Fort.

Boren almost beat the horses to death along the way, and finally returned to Changsheng Fort a moment faster than the cavalry.

After Zhang Zongxian learned that so many cavalry were coming to Changsheng Fort, he immediately ordered the gates of the fort to be closed and the whole fort entered first-level combat readiness.The inspection of weapons began, and the fort was officially under military control.Everyone stayed in their respective houses and was not allowed to move around freely.

Zhang Zongxian didn't listen to Boren's advice to hide from the academy, but went to the gate of the fort to see where these cavalrymen came from and what they wanted to do?
Soon, a group of cavalry emerged from the official road and headed straight for Changsheng Fort without stopping.

Fort Changsheng was built on the original land, with deep ravines on both sides.Only the main entrance has a large open space connected to the official road, and there is a narrow path at the back entrance that can go down to the original place.

Changsheng Fort currently has 300 infantry troops and 200 horse troops.

The cavalry stopped a thousand steps before the fort, and a few cavalrymen were separated from the inside and ran to the gate of the fort.Shouted to the guard on the castle gate:
"We are the officers and soldiers of Suiyan Town, and we are now chasing down the horse bandits. Open the fort gate quickly."

The officers and soldiers of Yanshou Town?Zhang Zongxian thought that it would be impossible to open the door.Let you in, what should you do if you kill the good and pretend to be meritorious?
Zhang Zongxian is now hiding behind the arrow shield, and the people below cannot see it.He said directly to the cavalry below:
"My official is the county magistrate of Qingjian County. Since you are an official and army, you can have a transfer order. Why do you come to my Qingjian County for the New Year's Eve?"

The following hundred households who took the lead are also unambiguous.

"Reporting to the county magistrate, the county magistrate, I received an order to chase down a group of horse bandits who had strayed into the side wall. After driving for a day, the passers-by were exhausted, so I forgot the county magistrate, the county magistrate, let me wait for a drink of water and something hot Fan, we will never harass the common people."

Chasing horse bandits?Could it be that the poisonous scorpion is calling, it's not right!When did officers and soldiers become so active.Those who celebrate the New Year also send troops to fight.The more Zhang Zongxian looked at these cavalry, the more he felt something was wrong.

The following hundred households were also sent by Du Qianhu to blow up the door.What I originally thought was to hold on to the Chinese New Year Fort's slack and rush in directly.Seeing that the defense in the fort is tight now, just blow up the door if it can be blown open, it is best not to attack by force.

"Hot water is easy to talk about. I will arrange for the common people to boil hot water for you to hang down, and you won't have to talk about entering the castle."

"The county lord and I are chasing the horse bandits. Can some injured brothers be sent to the castle to recuperate? I'm afraid it won't last long in the cold weather!"

Miss Su also came to the gate of the fort at this time, and when she heard that there were wounded, she wanted to persuade Zhang Zongxian to bring the wounded in. Miss Su is also a doctor who is benevolent and does not want to see the wounded.

Just as he was about to go forward to persuade Zhang Zongxian, he heard it.

"Give me three breaths of time to leave quickly, otherwise I will report to Yan'an Prefecture to hold you Yanshou Town accountable."

The hundred households saw that Zhang Zongxian had oil and salt and refused to enter, so they returned to the team and asked Du Qianhu what to do?
Du Qianhu originally thought it was an earthen fortress, and the people in the fortress would be scared away when soldiers came.Unexpectedly, this Changsheng Fort is actually heavily defended, and there are arrow shields on the wall of the fort, so it is impossible to see how many people are guarding the wall.

Now if the raid fails or the door cannot be blown open, we can only attack by force.

Immediately, he pretended to be discussing how to attack the fort, and tricked the poisonous scorpion over, and quietly arranged for his men to surround the poisonous scorpion's men.

The poisonous scorpion brought Eunuch An's staff to Du Qianhu, and Du Qianhu was not polite and said straight to the point:

"Brother, if you want Mr. An to recruit you, you have to show some skills today. Otherwise, the recruitment will be difficult!"

The poisonous scorpion is not stupid, this is letting his people be cannon fodder!Of course not.

"Du Qianhu and my subordinates are all cavalry. They are not good at attacking the city. Why don't we send some infantry?"

"Hmph, poisonous scorpion, don't be ignorant of compliments. Hurry up and show me your banner. Otherwise, I will take you first."
