Before Wu Nian left, he entrusted everything to Liu Zhixing.
Liu Zhixing's order was Wu Nian's order.
Zhang Jin and Long Qie both led their soldiers to gather in Beishan Fort. Then Long Qie, as the head coach, played the banner of all school captains.
Five hundred men were recruited and pretended to be in full force. Taking the baggage, food and grass, as well as the heavy siege weapons that had been prepared long ago, they sent troops to Jiang County.
But in fact, Zhang Jin and Tieniu led five elite soldiers from one hundred households to stay in a valley, motionless as if they were hibernating.
On the mountain road leading to Jiang County in the north, five to six thousand people lined up in a long queue, moving forward in units of one thousand households.
Under the banners with the characters "Iron" and "Zhang", there are reliable people wearing armor and riding horses, pretending to be Tieniu and Zhang Jin.
These two soldiers and horses walked in the center of the team.
Wei Ru led thousands of people from his headquarters to the front.
Long Qie is the second level.
After Liu Wujue.
Under the banner of "Wei", Wei Ru was wearing heavy armor, holding his own horse and riding a horse. He looked like a frog boiling in a steamer, sweating from the heat and a little itchy.
In the battle to defend the city, she tried her best and suffered many arrow wounds. The wound is healed now, but there are scars, and the scars are itching.
Wei Ru didn't complain, but took out the horse's sheepskin water bag from time to time to drink water to avoid heat stroke.
"Zhang Bu claims to be one of the best heroes among the Han people in Liaodong, but in my opinion, he is nothing more than that. If he dares to come out, I will kill him with one blow."
Wei Ru raised the horse with one arm and stabbed forward with a cold smile on his lips.
Although the Mongolians are hateful, the Han people who surrendered to the Mongolians are even more hateful.
The surrendering Han people who can play a role are the most hateful.
Zhang Bu is one of the ten Han households, and his hatred has reached its peak. Only a spear to death can dispel the hatred in her heart.
...........
Zhang Bu's spies did not have as many spies as Wu Nian's, and they were spread over such a wide area. But there are some. As soon as the soldiers and horses from Beishan Fort came out, he knew it on the back foot.
Zhang Mansion, in the pavilion at the back of the house.
Zhang Bu was sitting on a stone bench, flanked by two beautiful maids, and in front of him was a stout man kneeling on one knee.
"Sure enough, they are coming for me. Wu Nian hates that we are half-involved and wants to get rid of him quickly." Zhang Bu clenched his right fist and hung it heavily on the round stone table.
He didn't panic, as expected.
"Close the city gate. People are not allowed in or out. Call the three captains over, and I will issue general orders to them personally."
Zhang Bu stood up and ordered to the sturdy man in front of him.
"Yes." The sturdy man responded loudly, turned around and left, covered in sweat.
Zhang Bu first picked up the mung bean soup on the stone table and drank it clean. Then he stood up and went to the main room to wait. Soon after, three Han commanders under his command came in.
After the two parties greeted each other, Zhang Bu asked them to sit down. Immediately, his eyes glanced over the commander's body, and his heart felt a little wider.
"Jiang County is the top priority. The city walls are high and the defense equipment is sufficient. There are also three thousand captains guarding it. In addition, I, Ban Zhang, have been running the city for many years and it is impregnable. Even if the soldiers from Beishan Fort come, they will lose their teeth."
While confident, Zhang Bu is also cautious.
As the saying goes, caution makes a ship that lasts forever, but don't be careless.
"Everyone, the soldiers of Beishan Fort are fierce. And Wu Nian is good at using tricks. You must restrain the soldiers, no matter day or night. Don't slack off. In addition, special people must be dispatched to listen carefully to the movements underground. If these people are allowed to dig tunnels and come in, , that is the end of the world.”
"In short, we held Jiang County. The generals killed Wu Nian in the north. Everything is fine. Everyone will be rewarded heavily."
"If Jiang County is lost, I won't necessarily die, but you will."
Zhang Bu's eyes flashed with a hint of intimidation, and he said in a deep voice.
"Yes." The three captains did not doubt what Zhang Bu said at all. They were all awe-inspiring. They stood up and clasped their fists and bent down to answer. Then they immediately walked out of the gate with their sword handles on their waists and led their soldiers down.
"You can't even think of breaking through my Jiang County." Zhang Bu sneered, then stood up and said loudly: "Come here. Wear armor for me. I want to patrol the city wall."
That's right.
Zhang Bu guarded Jiang County very securely.
People are not allowed in or out.
Martial law was implemented in the city, and people were not allowed to go out without any reason.
There are three soldiers in the city who are captains of thousands. Either carrying supplies for city defense, patrolling the city, or standing guard at the city gate.
There are even dedicated people listening at the base of the wall. See if someone is digging a tunnel below to sneak into the city.
Zhang Bu also put on armor himself and patrolled the city walls from time to time to boost the morale of the soldiers. In addition, Jiang County is Ban Bian Zhang's base camp.
For a time, this city was managed by Zhang Bu as if it were an iron wall. Even if Meng Yuan Wanhu comes to attack, they may not be able to capture it in a short time.
.............
The road is long and has an end.
Wei Ru, Long Qie, and Liu Wu led the soldiers who came out to escort the grain, grass, and supplies, and finally arrived outside Jiang County this morning.
Outside the city are either fertile fields or Zhuangzi. Now the crops in the fertile fields are growing very well.
But since we want to attack the city, there is no other way.
"Long Xiaowei. You guys set up camp. I'll go meet Zhang Bu." Wei Ru was too preoccupied with stabbing Zhang Bu under his horse and had no intention of setting up camp. He raised his head and said to Long Qie.
"There's no need to worry, Lieutenant Guard. Zhang Bu is yours when he comes out. If he doesn't come out, there's nothing we can do about it. Let's set up camp first, and you should take off your armor first and take a rest. Once the camp is established, it won't be too late for you to challenge again."
Long Qie shook his head and persuaded.
In fact, he was also a little itchy. When Zhang Bu attacked Beishan Fort, Zhang entered and exited the city and challenged Zhang Bu to a duel.
After so many years, I wonder if Zhang Bu's martial arts has improved?
"Okay." Wei Ru accepted Long Qie's proposal, nodded, handed the horse in his hand to the soldier beside him, and then took off his helmet.
After all, it was a girl's house, so it was a bit inconvenient to disarm, so we had to wait for the camp to be erected first.
Long Qie's command was determined, and he asked Liu Wu to lead his own troops and block the city gate to guard against Zhang Bu's sudden attack.
Then he personally commanded the soldiers to bulldoze the crops, block the manors and houses, and set up camps.
After working for half a morning, he finally finished setting up the camp before lunch. After having lunch, we took another rest.
The temperature is getting cooler. Long Qicai issued an order for Wei Ru to lead the troops into battle. Wei Ru, who had been impatient for a long time, immediately asked the maid to come in and put on his armor. After going out, he grabbed the horse and rode out of the camp gate.
One man and one horse stood in front of the city gate. Wei Ru raised his horse and shouted towards the city gate: "I am a general of the Wei family. Wei Ru. Zhang Bu heard that you are a hero from Liaodong, do you dare to fight me?"
The girl is very fierce, very fierce.
