In the north, after Li Ji was sent by Li Jing to lead an army of 50,000 to aid Cheng Yaojin, the army continued to advance at its original speed. Large-scale wars are not about speed, but about who is more stable. Li Jing did not want to speed up the march. , causing the army to be too tired when it arrives on the battlefield, which will not only fail to win the war, but will lead to failure.
These have nothing to do with Luo Zhang. He carefully escorted the "grenade" he was responsible for to ensure that there would be no problems with these things. Of course, as soon as he arrived at the northern battlefield, this matter had nothing to do with him, and he would be responsible for building the igloo. Just do it.
Just as he promised his grandma, he would not charge into the battle in this war. The safest thing would be to stay at the rear and do his logistical work well, but now he was a little annoyed.
Yesterday, he just received the news from Wu Shaobin.
Liu Rengui was almost poisoned at the Quanzhou port, resulting in the annihilation of his entire army. Fortunately, the person who did this was stupid enough, otherwise his Royal Navy would have lost 2,000 men, which was tantamount to a major blow.
You must know that every soldier of the Royal Navy is carefully selected. Luo Zhang has invested a lot of money and time in every soldier. If it were destroyed like this, he would probably rush back to Chang'an General Zhangsun in anger. Kill that old dog Wuji!
This time it seemed that Chu Suiliang had done it, but knowing Changsun Wuji, he knew that the man behind the scenes must be Changsun Wuji, the old dog, and Chu Suiliang was just his pawn.
According to Wu Shaobin, Chu Suiliang is now imprisoned by His Majesty and imprisoned in the dungeon of the Secret Intelligence Department, waiting for the trial of the three departments. As for what will be found in the trial, it is still unknown, but Luo Zhang can guess, Changsun Wuji would never abandon Chu Suiliang, his right-hand man.
Holding the letter from Wu Shaobin, Luo Zhang walked back and forth in his account. He wanted to think of a way to cut off Changsun Wuji's right-hand man to see if he would dare to attack one of his own again.
Just how to do it, Luo Zhang doesn't have a clue yet. After all, he is not in Chang'an, but far north. It is inconvenient to do many things, but this matter must be counterattacked.
If Luo Zhang knew that Changsun Wuji not only asked Chu Suiliang to harm his Royal Navy, but also peeked into his mines, and even wanted to take action against Luo Mansion, he might not be able to stay and would immediately return to Chang'an.
In Chang'an, after the curfew, the streets were silent, and everyone returned to their homes to close their doors and rest.
After a group of city guards inspected Chang'an Avenue, a group of figures dressed in black, with their mouths and noses covered by black cloth, flashed out and arrived at the gate of Luofu.
"Boss, we have explored all around. The city guards will not come back here until half an hour later. We have half an hour to explore the Luo Mansion!" A man in black said to the leader.
"Well, the third brother, you take the two brothers to enter from the right. The fifth brother, you take the two brothers to enter from the left, and I will take the people to enter from the front. Remember, our mission is just to inquire, not to kill. Of course, if If there are those who don't have eyesight, just kill them. All you need to do is find out the strength of Luo Mansion's guards. They will gather here in a quarter of an hour!" the leader ordered.
"Yes, boss!" Everyone agreed.
After receiving the order, Lao San and Lao Si Ge led the two of them towards the east and west walls of Luofu. The leader counted the time and it was almost time for Lao San and Lao Si to reach the east and west walls. He called his men and headed towards the wall of the main entrance of Luo Mansion.
In a house in the front yard, Lai Fengyi has been living here for the past two days since she took over the responsibility of guarding Luo Mansion from Wu Shaobin, in order to facilitate emergency situations.
After the curfew, Lai Fengyi did not fall asleep quickly. Instead, she sat by the bed with needle and thread and embroidered something.
Suddenly, her brows furrowed, her hand was accidentally pricked by a needle, and she heard the sound of a bell ringing from the courtyard wall.
The sound of this sound meant that someone had invaded Luo Mansion from outside.
As soon as the copper bell rang, the guards in the stone towers around Luo Mansion immediately raised their crossbows and looked towards the courtyard wall, preparing to deal with the invading enemy.
The guards who had been sleeping got up immediately, and the guards on duty quickly rushed towards the place where the bell rang to stop the invading enemy.
Immediately, Lai Fengyi walked out of the house with her iron gun. Originally, she wanted to use the sound of the copper bell to determine where the enemy was invading, but when she heard the sound of the copper bell, her face couldn't help but change. The sound came from three directions: east, west, south, which was troublesome. It meant that there were many enemies coming, and they actually invaded Luo Mansion in full force.
Following the arrangements left by Wu Shaobin before leaving, she quickly turned around and ran towards the middle courtyard. At this time, she could no longer think about dealing with the enemy, but wanted to move all the Luofu family members underground as soon as possible to protect their safety. That's the first thing.
After all, there are probably many enemies coming, and with her own power, she might not be able to stop them in time. If she fails, the family members of the Luo Mansion will suffer. This is unforgivable.
"Enemy attack!"
To the south, at the main entrance, more than twenty Luofu guards were waiting, and three stone towers on all sides were also ready. One after another figures were seen rushing out from the wall and rushing towards the Luofu guards who were waiting.
"Archery!"
At the greeting of a squad leader, the guard standing in the first row fired the crossbow in his hand, and arrows were fired at the invading enemy from the stone tower.
This scene made the invading enemies who had just rushed in and not understood the situation a little confused. They did not expect that the guards of Luofu were so strong. They were discovered just after they entered, and they were attacked by so many arrows before they rushed in.
Although these arrows are nothing to them and can be avoided as long as they are careful, it is enough to show how strong the Luo Mansion's vigilance is. These are one of the purposes of their coming here.
After a period of confusion, the invading enemies finally blocked the arrows fired at them. Of course, they also paid some price. Two of the invading enemies were accidentally shot to death, and another person was injured by an arrow in the arm. .
This made the leader who entered from the main entrance very angry. He did not expect that this mission would be so troublesome and that two brothers would die.
"Kill, since they don't know how to commend themselves, just kill them!" the leader changed his original order.
"kill!!!"
At the boss's greeting, the incoming enemies rushed away with their swords raised.
After the first round of arrows, the guards of Luofu immediately drew their swords and rushed away at the call of the team leader. They would never allow invading enemies to enter Luofu.
The two sides fought hand to hand.
