Chapter 153 0150 [Haunted? 】

At the beginning of Shenshi, Nie Dong and Liu Kai led a thousand soldiers out of the barracks.

These soldiers are old and new, and travel lightly.

All are dressed in half body armor or leather armor to ensure mobility.

Since it is a surprise attack, it is naturally impossible to bring luggage, and the army is too poor. Although there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers, the number of armor in the army is estimated to be less than a thousand.

If they were fully armed, they might be spotted at a glance and show their feet.

Under the scorching sun, after rushing for five miles, we arrived at the bank of Zishui River.

At the pier, dozens of cargo ships were already waiting there.

"Get on board!"

Nie Dong gave an order, and under the leadership of Dutou and Duizheng, a thousand soldiers boarded the ship in an orderly manner.

After all the soldiers boarded the boat, Nie Dong gestured to the boatman.

The boatman immediately started the cargo ship, slowly sailed away from the pier, and went straight down the current.

Sitting in the cabin, Liu Kai looked excited and waved at a soldier.

This soldier was originally a member of the Ganchi Army. After being captured in Qiancheng County, he was incorporated into the Qingzhou Army.

Due to his outstanding performance, he was promoted to team leader some time ago.

When he came to Liu Kai's side, the soldier asked, "Why did Battalion Commander Liu call me?"

"sit."

Liu Kai patted the empty seat beside him.

After the soldier sat down, he put his arms around his shoulders and asked, "I remember you used to dare to join the army?"

The soldier's expression changed, and he hurriedly explained: "That's all happened in the past, besides, I was also coerced, so I had no choice but to join the Ganchi Army."

Liu Kai pursed his lips and said, "What's the matter, I'm just asking you a few words."

Hearing what he said, the soldier immediately felt relieved, and said with a sneer, "What does Battalion Commander Liu want to ask?"

"Do you have any slogan for Dare Chijun?"

"Have!"

Liu Kai's eyes lit up: "Let's listen."

The soldier recalled: "There are several slogans in the Ganchi Army, such as Zhang Xian descending to the earth, and the people turn over. Kill the dog officer, welcome Zhang Xian... I don't remember clearly."

Liu Kai thought it was very interesting, and asked again: "How do you call the big and small bosses?"

The soldier replied truthfully: "That Zhang Wanxian calls himself an immortal, and let us call him an immortal. He has ten great generals under his command, and under the generals are the guardians."

"Immortal, divine general?"

Liu Kai raised his eyebrows and asked, "What other rules?"

"Everyone in the Ganchi army wears scarves on their arms. Scarves of different colors represent different official positions. We big-headed soldiers wear green scarves, all of us wear green scarves, the guardians wear red scarves, and the generals wear purple scarves. Zhang Wanxian is wearing a gold scarf."

Green, red, purple and gold?
Isn't this the five-pin color of the Song Dynasty clothing?

Liu Kai smiled, and then ordered in a loud voice: "From now on, Nie Tongzhi is the guardian of the left, and I am the guardian of the right. You wait and write them all down. Don't make mistakes and show your feet. When you enter Yidu County , shouting slogans.”

"Order!"

The soldiers in the cabin responded one after another.

……

……

Under the scorching sun.

An army like a dragon marches forward on the official road.

According to regulations, when the army travels, they need to release scouts in all directions to explore the land within a radius of five miles.

If entering enemy territory, the range of scouting will even be extended to thirty or fifty miles.

You must know that when the army is marching, the soldiers are not wearing armor.

The armor and luggage should be hauled by the logistics force.

The advantage of this is that it can save the soldiers' physical strength, and once the scouts find the enemy, they can immediately put on armor and fight.

Otherwise, wearing armor weighing thirty to fifty catties and rushing on the road, I'm afraid that after walking ten miles, everyone's hands and feet will be weak.

Therefore, the scout is particularly important, it is the eyes and ears of an army.

But Yu Chaohuan only arranged a few scouts one mile in front of the army, which shows that the Wuwei Army has been completely corrupted.

"Straight mother thief! This bird is so hot!"

In the carriage, Luo Sha just took a sip of wine, and immediately turned his head and spit it out of the window.

Without ice fish, this fruit wine is warm and sour in the mouth, making it difficult to swallow.

Yu Chaohuan on the opposite side shook his head and laughed and said, "Brother Luo is still in the city, the march is tough, it would be nice to have a drink."

"Ugh!"

Luo Sha sighed, scolding Zhao Ting bloody in his heart.

It will take at least 20 days to dispatch troops this time.

If he stayed in the city, he could earn at least tens of thousands of guan in the past 20 days.

In the forest next to the official road, four eyes looked carefully at the army not far away through the gaps in the bushes.

Behind the bushes, two soldiers in leather armor crouched there quietly, with a blue scarf wrapped around their left arms.

They waited until the army had completely passed by before they slowly got up and ran towards the depths of the forest.

There is a mountain depression deep in the forest, and in the mountain depression, there are a lot of people lying and sitting.

At a glance, there are as many as 5000 people.

These people held all kinds of weapons, spears and knives, and even kitchen knives tied to wooden poles, and their left arms were all wrapped with scarves.

It's a brave army!

This place is only fifteen miles away from Yidu County, so many Ganchi troops gathered here, no one in the county even noticed it.

At this moment, two spies ran quickly into the col and came to a strong man.

This strong man was wearing half armor, long hands and feet, and a purple scarf tied around his arm.

It is Zhang Wanxian's next god ape general, Shi Jian.

The two spies clasped their hands together and said, "General, I have something important to report."

"What's the matter?"

Shi Jian sat cross-legged on a large flat rock, holding the wine jar and drinking with his guardians.

"When I was just standing guard, I saw a large army coming up the official road!"

Army?

Shi Jian froze when he was drinking, his whole body trembled, and he came to his senses in an instant, and hurriedly asked, "How many people are there?"

The spies replied: "The blackness is like a long dragon, stretching for miles from end to end, and it is estimated that there are no fewer than ten thousand people. There are hundreds of ox carts just for transporting grain, grass and luggage."

Hearing that the spies said that there were tens of thousands of people, the middle-aged man dressed as a scribe sitting beside said solemnly: "I'm afraid the military guards are dispatched!"

Shi Jian's expression changed: "Could it be that when my whereabouts are exposed, the dog officials in the county will dispatch the military guards to suppress me?"

Whether the Wuwei army is the forbidden army, it still has a certain deterrent effect on these rebels.

As soon as these words came out, everyone turned pale with shock.

At this moment, the middle-aged man dressed as a scribe asked aloud: "Did you just say that there are hundreds of carts of grain and grass?"

"Yes!"

The spy nodded.

Hearing this, the middle-aged man chuckled: "If that's the case, then it has nothing to do with us."

Shi Jian hurriedly asked, "Why did Shi Canjun say that?"

Shi Canjun explained: "If it's just to encircle and suppress us, why do we need to carry so much food and grass? Hundreds of carts of food and grass, no matter what, there are six or seven thousand stones, which is enough to feed an army of ten thousand people for a month. If you want to come to this military guard, it should be a rush. Go with Shouguang."

Shouguang County, that is the home of the Ganchi Army.

Right now, the military guards are going to put down the rebellion!
Shi Jian's heart shuddered, and he said solemnly: "We must notify the immortal as soon as possible!"

"No, tens of thousands of troops can't hide their whereabouts, not to mention our army's spies are all around Shouguang, I'm afraid it won't take long for the immortals to find out."

Shi Canjun waved his hands, and then said seriously: "This time the military guards are out of the city to suppress the rebellion, it is a godsend opportunity for us!"

Shi Jian was not stupid, he immediately understood what he meant, and said in a surprised tone, "You mean to attack Yidu County?"

"Exactly!"

Shi Canjun nodded, and said seriously: "All the military guards are dispatched, and the Zhenhai Navy is unbearable. It's just a group of refugees and beggars. Right now, Yidu County's defenses are empty. Isn't it a good time to attack?"

A flash of emotion flashed in Shi Jian's eyes, he hesitated and said: "But the city of Yidu County is Gaochihou, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to take it down, our mission this time is to surprise the Linqu Horse Prison, once we attack Yidu County, we will They will be completely exposed, and Linqu County will definitely be prepared."

What he is worried about is that Yidu County will not be won by then, and he will be exposed, which will cause Linqu County to take precautions, and the plan to surprise the horse prison will fail.

Seeing his hesitation, Shi Canjun expressed a look of resentment, and persuaded him: "The opportunity is rare! Yidu is the center of Qingzhou. Once Yidu County is taken, Linqu will also be in the bag."

Shi Canjun's name is Shi Wenhui, and he is a Juren in Shouguang County.

It's a pity that in the Song Dynasty Juren was worthless, and it was useless to fail the Jinshi examination.

Shi Wenhui went to Beijing several times to rush for the exam, but failed the exam repeatedly, dragging his family down, and he couldn't help feeling resentful.

It just so happened that Zhang Wanxian rebelled. In a fit of anger, he simply turned into a thief, and quickly got a job as a recorder and joined the army with his ability.

Shi Jian was still hesitant: "If neither Yidu nor Majian can win, how can the immortal blame them?"

Ugh!
Shi Wenhui secretly sighed in his heart.

What a bunch of idiots.

Among the more than [-] people in the Ganchi Army, only Zhang Wanxian is slightly smarter, but not much better.

Since occupying Changping, he has been drinking and having fun all day long.

Mud legs are mud legs, they can't be masters!

Suppressing his thoughts, Shi Wenhui suggested: "How about this, we will try to attack once at night, if the defense in the city is sufficient, we will give up immediately and go south overnight. Even if it is exposed, by the time Linqu County receives the news, it is too late to take precautions gone."

Shi Jian thought for a while, nodded and said, "This plan is feasible!"

After making the decision, he summoned his guards and ordered: "You wait for the leaders to cut wood and build ladders, and surprise Yidu County tonight!"

"Order!"

The protector clasped his fists in response, turned around and ordered the soldiers to start cutting trees and making siege equipment.

……

evening.

Dozens of merchant ships docked beside a reed slop.

Nie Dong didn't dare to disembark at the pier because he would easily expose his whereabouts, but chose the reed marsh one mile away from the pier.

"Get off the boat!"

Nie Dong waved his hand and jumped off the boat first.

The river water reached the waist in an instant, and a thousand soldiers jumped down one after another. After wading through the reeds for a while, they came to the bank.

After counting the number of people, Nie Dong said in a low voice: "March twenty miles quickly, and make sure to arrive at the Zhenhai barracks within an hour!"

"Order!"

All the soldiers responded one after another.

Even if you go into battle lightly, it is still very difficult to march twenty miles in one hour.

At this time, the effect of hard training on weekdays will be reflected.

A thousand Qingzhou troops were silent and hurried towards Yidu County.

By the time they arrived at the Zhenhai barracks, night had completely enveloped the sky.

The barracks was silent and the gates were closed.

Nie Dong did not relax his vigilance, waved his hand, and immediately two soldiers came to the barracks quickly.

He reached out and tried to push the door, and the heavy wooden door opened immediately.

The two soldiers stooped and entered the barracks lightly.

After a while, the two of them came out and reported: "The capital is in charge... Zuo Hufa, the barracks is empty and there is no ambush."

Normally, even if troops are dispatched to quell the rebellion, some soldiers will remain in the barracks to guard them.

However, Luo Sha got the news from Han Zhen in advance and took all the soldiers away, leaving no one behind.

"Enter!"

Following Nie Dong's order, the soldiers immediately filed in.

When the gate of the barracks was closed again, Nie Dong ordered again: "Everyone is divided into two groups, and they take turns eating and resting."

It is impossible to make a fire and cook food, so you can only eat some dry food that you bring.

Nie Dong sat by the campfire, gnawed on the cooking cakes, and looked at the simple map in his hand.

What is drawn on the map is Yidu County City.

The city defense points, traffic arteries, granaries and other buildings are all clearly standardized.

Liu Kai led a group of soldiers to patrol the barracks.

Walking into a barracks, he immediately covered his nose and backed out frowning.

The strange smell in the barracks almost knocked him out.

It's normal to have a smell in the army, after all, they are all rough men, but the barracks smell is too strong, like the rotten smell after the death of a mouse.

After walking around the entire barracks, Liu Kai already knew it in his heart.

This is not a military camp, it is simply a den of beggars.

After returning to the campfire and sitting down, I heard Nie Dong's arrangement: "After entering Yidu County later, you lead 200 people to seize the car dealership, and drive the ox carts and horse carts to the granary."

They didn't bring ox carts or horse-drawn carts on this trip. Fortunately, Yidu County is a big city, and there are cart shops in the city.

"I see."

Liu Kai nodded in response.

……

Under the night, a team of 6000 to [-] people marched along the official road to smear.

When he was less than a mile away from the county town, Shi Jian ordered to rest for a while.

After taking a sip from the water bottle around his waist, Shi Jian said to the three guardians: "I will lead 2000 people to attack the east gate later, and you will each lead more than [-] people to attack the other three city gates."

"No!"

As soon as the words fell, Shi Wenhui stopped him.

Shi Jian frowned, "Why?"

Shi Wenhui explained: "We only have less than 6000 people, and the city of Yidu County is high and thick. Once the troops are divided, I am afraid that none of them will be able to take down. It is better to gather all the troops and attack the east gate in one go. If we can take it, It's the best. If you can't take it, don't bother to fight, and immediately retreat to the south."

Shi Jian thought about it for a while and felt it made sense, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I will join the army according to the history."

After resting for nearly half an hour, when he regained his strength, Shi Jian got up and said, "Let's go, attack the city!"

The [-] daring soldiers came quietly to the east gate wall, looked up at the city tower, and found that it was pitch black and there were no soldiers guarding it.

Shi Jian looked happy and waved his hand.

Immediately behind him, more than [-] soldiers came, and these soldiers were holding a ten-meter-long battering ram.

A battering ram was improvised, consisting of three trunks bound together, one end sharpened.

Although rough, it still weighs hundreds of catties and has the effect of a battering ram.

More than 20 people stood quietly in front of the city gate, waiting for Shi Jian to give an order, and they would hit the city gate.

At the same time, a wooden ladder was also erected on the city wall by the soldiers.

When everything was ready, Shi Jian roared, "Siege the city!"

"Hey yo hey yo!"

Hearing this, more than 20 soldiers immediately shouted chant, waved their battering rams, and slammed into the city gate heavily.

boom!
With a loud noise, two heavy city gates were knocked open.

what?
This scene stunned all the brave soldiers outside the city.

This... just knocked open?
Shi Jian turned his head, and Shi Wenhui looked at each other, looking at each other.

This is Yidu County, the seat of Qingzhou, the hub of a state, and the gate of the city was opened so easily?
When they attacked Changping County, the battering ram knocked down the city gate together with the Qianjin gate after three days of non-stop hitting.

For a moment, everyone felt a sense of unreality in their hearts, as if in a dream.

It went so smoothly, it went so smoothly that Shi Jian felt a little guilty in his heart.

The gate of the city was opened, revealing the dark city cave, like a giant beast opening its bloody mouth.

A guardian swallowed his saliva and said in a low voice, "God general, is there any fraud?"

Shi Jian was also not sure, so he turned his head and asked, "What does Shi Canjun think?"

"hiss!"

Shi Wenhui took a deep breath and pondered: "You can send a small team into the city to investigate. If there is an ambush, we will evacuate immediately!"

"it is good!"

Shi Jian nodded, and sent a team of one hundred people, led by a protector, slowly into the city.

The guardian bravely stepped into the city gate.

Suddenly, a voice rang in my ears: "What are you waiting for, come in quickly!"

"Who?"

The protector was so frightened that he almost peed his pants.

A flash of flame appeared, and then the flame gradually became brighter.

I saw a guard carrying a lantern, standing at the end of the cave, waving towards them.

This scene is really weird.

The protector swallowed again and asked, "You...do you recognize us?"

The guard showed a weird smile: "Hey, of course I recognize it, dare to join the army."

hiss!
The guardian only felt a chill rushing up the tailbone, his scalp went numb, and he ran out, shouting at the same time: "No, it's a scam!"

fraudulent?

Shi Jian was startled, and was about to order to retreat, but he heard a series of neat slogans not far behind him.

"Zhang Xian descends to earth, and Wan Min turns over!"

"Zhang Xian descends to earth, and Wan Min turns over!"

"Dog killer, welcome Zhang Xian!"

"Dog killer, welcome Zhang Xian!"

This is actually the slogan of the brave army!
But the question is... Where did the Ganchi Army come from in Yidu County?

Damn, is this haunted tonight?
