Chapter 148 Raid Yuanqu

The magistrate of Yuanqu County never thought that it was about to harvest in summer, but the neighbor of Yangcheng County suddenly made trouble to Yuanqu County. Under their unpreparedness, a soldier and horse under the banner of Xing Tianjun suddenly appeared in their county. It took only two days to capture the east of Yuanqu County. Lishan Town in the north cut off the only road between Lishan Town and Yuanqu County.

This can scare the officials of Yuanqu County to death. They never expected that Xing Tianjun would choose at this time and attack them. Originally, they thought that Yuanqu County was a small place, and there were not many rich gentry and rich people, and there was also Wangwu Mountain separated from Yangcheng, which was deep in the mountains and forests. Even if the Xing Tianjun attacked , we should also choose the direction of Zezhou and Qinshui to attack and plunder. We should not choose Yuanqu as the target. Therefore, unlike the states and counties around Yangcheng, Yuanqu County is very calm and has not made much preparation at all. However, during this period, some villagers have been mobilized to suppress bandits in the local area, and they feel that everything is going on. Good luck.

As a result, Xing Tianjun chose them to start at this time. This time, the officials in Yuanqu County were scared to death. On the one hand, they quickly organized the villagers to strengthen the defense of the county. On the other hand, they quickly sent people to Pegasus to Xiezhou to ask for help, and the local big family was even more shocked. Jin hired Zhuang Ding to help guard the village. Someone quickly took money to buy weapons to arm his Zhuang Ding. In short, after Lishan Town was conquered by the Xing Tianjun, the whole Yuanqu County fell into panic.

However, unlike the government and the old rich people, the poor people in Yuanqu County, because there is only one mountain between them and Yangcheng. Although the traffic is blocked, there is still a lot of communication between the mountain people. The local poor people in Yuanqu, from these hunters and mountain people from the Yangcheng area. I heard a lot about Xing Tianjun. Everyone is envious of the people in Yangcheng. I can't wait to be a person in Yangcheng, share some fields, and live a good life in the future.

There are even activists who simply crossed Wangwu Mountain in advance, entered the boundary of Yangcheng, and defected to the Xingtian Army. In the control area of the Xingtian Army in Yangcheng, they obtained the field they dreamed of. In this way, when the Xing Tianjun secretly prepared to attack Yuanqu County, there was no lack of guides at all. Many The people who were originally from Yuanqu immediately stood up and took the initiative to ask for Xing Tianjun to open the way in front. At the same time, Feng Gouzi also recruited a lot of people from Yuanqu County, who were originally from Yuanqu County, and returned to Yuanqu County in advance to encourage the people around Yuanqu County to prepare for the arrival of Xing Tianjun.

For such a situation, the government of Yuanqu County was unaware of the difference at all, so that when a Xing Tianjun suddenly appeared outside Lishan Town, the patrol of Lishan Town was not even prepared at all, and the large households in the town were unprepared and were caught off guard by Xing Tianjun, even the town's The gate was not closed, but it was captured by the Xingtian Army. A large number of officers of the Xingtian Army rushed into Lishan Town. Some of the people in the town should immediately encourage the people in the town to follow the Xing Tianjun to attack the houses of several large households in the town and the town patrol department. Until this time, the inspection in Lishan Town returned Only then did several large families understand that they quickly closed the door and took their family members and patrols and other personnel to resist. However, in the face of the wolf-like Xing Tianjun, their resistance seemed so pale and weak. In just one day, Xing Tianjun all controlled Lishan Town.

The day after Xing Tianjun took control of Lishan Town, Xiao Tianjian ordered Yan Chongxi and Luo Li to divide their troops and began to sweep the Dazhuang Fort around Lishan Town. Without advance preparation, the four Dazhuang Forts outside Lishan Town resisted for only two days. In time, they were conquered one after another under the combination of Xingtian Army and Zhuangnei's inner and outer response. The rich people in the smaller villages around Lishan Town knew that the Xingtian Army was not strong, so they immediately chose to abandon their homes and fled from the area of Lishan Town. They scrambled to take refuge in Yuanqu County, and all of Lishan Town fell. Under the control of the Xingtian Army.

After Xiao Tianjian captured Lishan Town, Xiao Tianjian and his men did not rest for a moment, leaving only part of the temporary organization of the local people, and leaving a team of 50 troops to lead them, guarding the only road to Lishan Town. He personally led Yan Chongxi and Luo Li. He rushed straight to the ancient town in the south.

The ancient town is located on the north bank of the Yellow River, which is also the intersection of the two direct rivers of the Yellow River and the Haoqing River, and the key abys that connects several townships in the southeast of Yuanqu County. As long as the ancient town is removed, it will cut off the connection between several townships in the eastern part of Yuanqu County and Yuanqu County, and also strive for a heavy point for going south to Henan in the future. The ferry you want.

Although Lishan Town and the ancient town are both the territory of Yuanqu County, Lishan Town goes deep into the mountains, and the straight distance from the ancient town is 50 or 60 miles. In addition, it takes a lot of detours to take the mountain road. It is almost more than 100 miles from Lishan Town to the ancient town, and the mountain road is not suitable for galloping, so this time Xiao Tianjian's attack on Yuanqu County was basically all walking troops, and even most of the scouts under Shi Ran's command were changed to walking.

In order to buy time, before learning the news of the attack of the Xingtian Army in other places in Yuanqu County, he captured the ancient town. Xiao Tianjian once again ordered to pack lightly and rush to the ancient town at the speed of an urgent march. The nearest soldiers will be inspired by the sound of the trumpet. In the early morning of May 20, he scattered their feet and walked along The road in the mountains is running towards the ancient town.

This run is a whole day. Under the command of Xiao Tianjian, the soldiers and generals only rest for a quarter of an hour every ten miles. They didn't even bury the pot to make rice at noon. The whole army only ate some dry food and pickles that everyone carried with them, and drank some cold water in the water bag. In this way, it was only a day. The whole army rushed outside the ancient town.

Drilling the gopher and more than 30 of his former men almost died when they followed Xing Tianjun. They used to be self-made iron feet and went back and went in the mountains. It was very easy to run dozens of miles a day. But today, for the first time they followed Xing Tianjun to carry out such an urgent march, they knew their walking legs and feet. It is not the opponent of Xing Tianjun at all.

These generals of the Xingtian Army seemed to fight like iron. After spreading their legs one by one, they ran forward like stepping on the wind. At the beginning of 20 or 30 miles, the drilled gophers and other newcomers could basically keep up, but after noon, the drilled gophers could not stand such a hurry. Army, one by one, they are flashing their waists and gasping. Their legs are like being filled with lead. They can't lift them up. After running for a while, their legs are as soft as noodles. Several gophers sat down on the side of the roadside, gasping like a wind box, shaking their heads and shouting, "My mother! If I run again, I will be exhausted! No! No! I can't run anything!"

It happened that Xiao Tianjian caught up with him from behind at this time. When he drilled the gopher, he found that even Xiao Tianjian was marching on foot like them, just like them, he was sweating heavily, and stopped by the roadside from time to time to cheer up his soldiers and generals.

"What's wrong? Brothers? Can't you run here? Work harder, the mountain people said that in another 20 miles, we will reach the ancient town! After you get there, have a good rest! You can't drag it until dark. Once it gets dark on this mountain road, you can't see anything! Grit your teeth and hold on! Come on, I'll give you a hand!" Xiao Tianjian saw the group of gophers lying on the side of the road one by one, so he went closer and said to them. With that, he pulled a man up from the ground with his own hands and took the short hoe he was carrying.

The gopher got up with a wry smile and said to Xiao Tianjian, "General Xiao, I'm really convinced of you!" Among other things, with this marching speed, there are really not many people in the world who can compare with our Xing Tianjun! Brothers, look at our big masters walking with us. Don't humiliate me. Get up. Even if you climb, you will follow him to the ancient town!"

People breathe a breath. These tired guys are lying down. Look at the big palm plates like Xiao Tianjian. They are walking on foot like them. There is nothing unbalanced in their hearts, and everyone is full of people. Look at the veterans of the Xing Tianjun. Although they are tired and panting, they are still gritting their teeth. , insisted on swung forward and strode forward, but their group of people lay on the ground tiredly. They felt ashamed when they thought about it, so they gritted their teeth and got up one by one. At the instigation of Xiao Tianjian, they stepped forward again.

On this road, after noon, he turned down the river. Under the alluvial valley, a lot of good fields were formed, so gradually there were more farmland here, and on the road began to see some farmers farming in the farmland. Out of fear of all the troops, these people saw the punishment Tianjun ran away one after another, for fear of becoming an inexplicable ghost.

And Xing Tianjun didn't pay attention to these passers-by at all. He scared them away. He just lowered his head and rushed forward vigorously. The villages passing along the way were not included at all, but just kept on the road.

As the saying goes, "looking at the mountain and running a dead horse" is good. Under such traffic conditions, it is clear that the road under the mountain is under your feet, but when you walk there, you have to walk a few miles or even more to reach it. Such a march is not easy for anyone, especially the body. Slightly weaker, when I walked to the ancient town, I almost felt like I was about to die. I fell to the ground one after another and couldn't get up.

(Ask for tickets again, thank you!)
