In Fuling City, Luo Zhang's army had already arrived in a mountain forest not far away in advance, and the people in Fuling City could not find his traces due to the cover of the mountains and forests.
The army is being recuperated at the moment. Marching thirty miles in a hurry is no joke, and people will get tired.
The raid was originally scheduled for night, but seeing that Fuling City's defenses were so lax, Luo Zhang immediately decided to launch the attack after half an hour's rest.
If Fuling is captured sooner, the crisis in Chengdu County can be lifted sooner.
On the way, Luo Zhang separated another five thousand troops and headed towards the mountain where Changsun Wuji produced wooden bumps.
What he had to do was to clean up Changsun Wuji's lair. Not only did Fuling have to be captured, but the place where the wood knots were produced also had to be pulled out.
Without his lair and wooden bumps, Changsun Wuji would be like a tiger with its teeth pulled out, unable to jump up.
Luo Zhang is not afraid of Changsun Wuji in a head-to-head confrontation. What he is afraid of is the large number of wooden lumps Changsun Wuji has for him to use.
Without so many wooden bumps, Changsun Wuji's attempt to capture Chengdu County was nothing more than a dream.
Half an hour is enough for the soldiers to eat and drink enough to build up their strength.
When half an hour passed, Luo Zhang immediately ordered the attack.
Luo Zhang's army rushed out of the dense forest, which naturally attracted the attention of the Fuling County defenders, but they did not take much precautions, thinking that their master was returning victoriously.
This is people's instinctive thinking. After all, Changsun Wuji was attacking Chengdu County, so how could there be a large army here.
They didn't expect Luo Zhang to come from the trail and attack them.
After the Fuling guard learned the news that Changsun Wuji had returned victoriously, he was overjoyed and immediately called everyone to prepare to leave the city to welcome the Lord's triumphant return.
Luo Zhang's spies have been inquiring about Fuling City. What puzzles them is that Fuling City does not seem to be defended.
When the news was passed to Luo Zhang, Luo Zhang couldn't help but laugh. How could he not figure out the problem with his intelligence.
Immediately and without hesitation, he ordered the army to speed up and attack Fuling before the enemy recovered.
On the city wall of Fuling City, the guard stood on the tower and kept looking at the smoke-filled army in the distance. In his opinion, this was the return of the master.
Immediately, he put on his armor, opened the city gate, and went out to meet Changsun Wuji.
When he saw the clothes and armor worn by the leading general, his expression immediately changed.
This is not the clothes and armor worn by their men and horses.
Since it is not the armor of their men and horses, there is only one possibility. This is the enemy, Luo Zhang's men and horses!
For the first time, the guard seemed to be escaping back to Fuling City, but it was already too late to leave. If he hadn't come out, Luo Zhang would have had to go through a lot of trouble to capture Fuling. But now, it was like the enemy had taken over the city by himself. The door opened to welcome him into the city. It must be said that Luo Zhang was really lucky.
The guard was captured immediately, and Fuling was captured by Luo Zhang without any resistance. Not a single soldier was lost in this battle, and no weapons were used. Even the old poisonous man, Sun Simiao, also It's okay to praise Luo Zhang for his bad luck.
Capturing Fuling was only the first step. Passing the news to Changsun Wuji was the most important. Under his arrangement, the guard was rescued by a disguised soldier. Under Luo Zhang's instructions, the general was rescued. He was let go.
The purpose is to tip off Changsun Wuji. After all, if you send other people, Changsun Wuji may not believe it. This old guy is very suspicious.
But the guard Changsun Wuji must have known him. With his report, Changsun Wuji had to believe that his lair had been taken away by Luo Zhang.
As long as Changsun Wuji gets the news, he will be a ghost if he can sit still.
Fuling is just one of them. Luo Zhang is also planning to tell Changsun Wuji about the destruction of the place where the wood knots are produced. In this way, Changsun Wuji is afraid that he will come back soon.
Not long after Luo Zhang entered the city, the troops responsible for attacking the place where the wood knots were produced sent back the news that the wood knot workshop had been wiped out and all the defenders were killed. The workers inside followed Luo Zhang's instructions. The order was not to kill them all, but to be brought back.
As for the things in the workshop, they were all destroyed. If those things were left, they would be a disaster, and Luo Zhang would not let the disaster stay.
