"Da da da."
Starry.
A group of about four thousand men and horses quickly headed towards Chong County.
"Whoa whoa whoa whoa."
The flag with the word "Wu" flutters in the wind and makes a hunting sound. Wu Nian was riding on his horse, looking back at his soldiers and horses from time to time.
In the battle with Jin Huanshan, out of six or seven thousand men, only four thousand capable soldiers were left.
He didn't have time to reprogram it.
Although it was a surprise, there were two Han captains guarding Chong County.
The soldiers fought bloody battles during the day and traveled all night at night.
The only advantage is. Along the way, they captured many Mongolian and Yuan armors. Currently, the proportion of armored soldiers in the army has exceeded half.
This is a scary number.
The rate of Mongolian soldiers wearing iron armor was only 30%.
"It will definitely go well." Wu Nian thought to himself. After running about five miles of mountain roads, Wu Nian finally led his troops to the small plain where Chong County is located.
At this moment, the sky was beginning to light up, and smoke was rising from the surrounding villages.
Wu Nianjun's soldiers ate dry food and drank cold water. They were not hungry, but traveling all night made these strong men a little unbearable.
A large group of people walked across the road, alarming the people in nearby villages and causing a commotion. Wu Nian ignored them and urged the men and horses to move forward quickly.
If the city's defenders have no defense, or only a little defense, they can scale the city wall and open the city gate.
As long as you get in, everything will be fine.
But when Wu Nian led his troops to the city gate, his heart sank slightly. I saw figures shaking on the city gate.
There are many soldiers standing guard or patrolling.
"I should have deceived those Meng Yuan households. But the guards of this city are very vigilant." Unexpectedly, Wu Nian's heart sank. He put his right hand to his mouth and bit down with his teeth. The pain instantly cheered him up.
In the current situation, if Chong County cannot be captured, the army will be defeated without fighting.
Fight.
"Brothers, if we don't capture the city, we will all starve to death. Simply divide into four teams. Wang Gui, take a team of troops to the other wall. Zhang Sheng will do the same."
Wu Nian pulled out the steel knife from his waist and raised it.
The Oriental fish belly turned white, and a little light shone on the steel knife, making it seem to glow.
"kill!!"
Wu Nian yelled.
"yes."
Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng responded loudly, and then hurriedly ordered about a thousand men and horses, and dispersed to the front and left to attack the other two city walls.
"kill!!!!"
The remaining approximately two thousand soldiers were also divided into two teams, and after a brief reorganization. The first group of troops, carrying fifty ladders, launched an attack towards Chong County.
"Enemy attack!!!!" Of course the defenders on the city discovered Wu Nianjun, and countless soldiers shouted loudly. Someone immediately got off the city wall, got on his horse, and rode towards the city to report.
There are two captains of thousands of households in the city.
One is named Qian Zhengguang and the other is named Jiang Gandang. Neither of them came from military backgrounds, but were masters among the people, both of whom had outstanding martial arts skills.
Especially Jiang Gandang. The Jiang family originally ran an escort agency. Before the Mongolians went south, Liaodong was in chaos.
There are so many bandits.
Dare to open an escort agency and do escort business in Liaodong. No one is a soft persimmon.
After the Mongolians occupied Liaodong, the Jiang family gave up the escort business and took the escorts to join the thousands of Han households.
Jiang Gan was thirty-two years old this year and in his prime. Using a long-handled sword, he once fought with a Meng Yuan commander on horseback and defeated the Mongolian commander in just a dozen moves.
His skill with a short sword is also very good. Originally, he was a strong competitor of Han Wanhu, but for various reasons, he became a captain of thousands and was ordered to guard Chong County.
Both of them are cautious by nature. After learning that Wu Nian was arrogant in Yingqing Mansion, they did not relax the city defense, and certainly did not strengthen it.
Prior to this, Wu Nian had been attacking the castle and had never attacked the county seat once. Moreover, they were chased and intercepted by four Mongolian and Yuan households.
If the two of them can maintain the original level of city defense, they are already very strong.
As for strengthening the defense and transporting materials to defend the city? That was really unexpected.
Jiang Mansion covers a large area and is magnificent.
The slaves at home have already gotten up. The cook has already directed the cooks and started to light a fire for the masters to cook.
Jiang Gan woke up early in the morning, holding a long-handled broadsword and playing with knife skills in the yard.
He has leopard-like eyes, a beard all over his face, and a frighteningly tall figure. When playing with sword skills, a pair of leopard eyes sparkled, and he let out loud shouts from time to time.
Although he was just practicing martial arts, he felt like he was on the battlefield, full of murderous intent.
The house slaves and maidservants who passed by were all captured by his murderous aura. They lowered their heads in fear and quickened their pace to leave.
After performing a set of sword skills, Jiang Gan was sweating all over. He stood up with a big sword and took a long breath. His face was rosy, his breathing was even, and he was full of energy.
"This swordsmanship is getting more and more demonic. But this body is still young and strong. I am in my prime and can still be strong for ten years. After ten years, I will also go downhill."
Jiang Gandang thought to himself.
Shaking his head, Jiang Gan faced south with extremely sharp eyes. It seems as if I have crossed the mountains and reached the Central Plains.
"Zhang Bu's skills are still inferior to mine. He has become a Han householder, but I have only become a captain of thousands. What a shame. I really hope that the Mongols and Yuan people will consolidate the power of Liaodong and send troops south to attack Shanhaiguan. I can do it With the big sword in my hand and my true fighting skills, I can seize the official positions of thousands of Han people. I will make them a marquis and a general."
Jiang Gandang was full of high spirits and determination. I want to ride on this flowery land and win outstanding achievements.
But soon, he frowned.
"Wu Nian is the one who refuses to obey. He causes chaos in the mountains and delays the Mongolian Yuan people's efforts to integrate Liaodong."
"I heard that he was tied with Wan Yanxian. But I don't give him any credit. It's a pity that I didn't have the opportunity to lead the troops and fight with him. Otherwise, I will definitely kill him."
After Jiang Gandang thought wildly for a while, he felt unbearably hungry, so he shook his head, summoned a soldier, handed the sword to him, and strode to the kitchen, intending to see what was available to eat.
at this time.
Chaotic sounds came from the city gate. Jiang Gandang immediately became vigilant, could it be?
He shook his head, showing hesitation.
"It's impossible, right? How could Wu Nian reach Chong County with so many households chasing and intercepting him?"
"Da da da."
Soon after, Jiang Gandang's suspicion was confirmed. A soldier arrived at Jiang Mansion on horseback. After dismounting, he rolled and crawled in front of Jiang Gandang. He panted and said, "General. There are unknown soldiers and horses attacking the city. The flag is "Wu"."
Jiang Gan was stunned, was he really Wu Nian? Then he immediately became excited and laughed loudly: "Okay, great. I'm just about to meet this guy."
"Come here. Put on my armor. Also, send someone to tell Qian Zhengguang that Wu Nian is mine. He will arrange the defense of the city." Jiang Gandang shouted. A group of soldiers immediately came over with his armor.
After Jiang Gandang was dressed neatly, he took a long-handled sword and walked out of the gate. He got on his horse and led dozens of soldiers to the city gate.
