"More than 10,000 people attacked Qingfeng Stronghold, but more than 3,000 people can hold it? They are not even soldiers."
Da Zhuang frowned.
"It is impossible for the county guard to send out all the troops to attack Qingfeng Village. The mountain road is difficult to travel, and there are too many people to attack Qingfeng Village.
If he sends too few, he won't be able to capture Qingfeng Village. If he sends too many, we can take the opportunity to attack their camp and kill the army they left behind.
Divide and break!
Liu Hu is an old general and will not make such a mistake. "
Nie Chen continued,
"Dazhuang, tonight you go out from the north gate and go around the mountain back to Qingfeng Village. After you go back, select some eloquent workers and let them go to all the villages in the county to lobby, saying that Qingfeng Village is recruiting soldiers and they will receive good treatment. Recruit troops as soon as possible. Replenish troops.
If you recruit more people, we can attack the county guard's army from both sides and defeat him in one fell swoop.
At the same time, the recruitment of troops in the county must not stop. We are in urgent need of troops now. "
"okay, I get it."
Da Zhuang nodded and said,
"Should I take the master's body back and bury it in Qingfeng Village?"
Nie Chen immediately shook his head and said,
"No, you are surrounded by the county guards' spies. You can go back faster by riding a horse. If you bring someone to carry the coffin, you will be blocked by the county guards.
The big boss has died, and his body cannot be disturbed by enemy troops anymore.
He was going to be buried, and it had to be a grand burial. Qiu Chan and I, as well as all the soldiers, all saw him off.
How could he be worthy of his heroic spirit if he was secretly taken there and buried?
I want to defeat the county guard in an upright manner, open the road, and send the boss home! "
Everyone nodded after hearing this.
Now that the first seven days have not passed, it is really not appropriate to bury him hastily.
"Okay, everyone, go get ready. In the next period of time, we still have tough battles to fight.
As long as the governor keeps attacking the city, his troops will continue to be depleted, and we are recruiting troops at the same time. Sooner or later we will surpass them. At that time, we, who are well-equipped, will definitely be able to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop and avenge the great master. ! "
"good!"
Everyone dispersed, Nie Chen and Weng Qiuchan kowtowed in front of the coffin of the headmaster, and then went back to their rooms to rest.
We fought all day yesterday, the boss passed away in the evening, and we didn't sleep all night. We have been fighting again today, and our spirits have been so tense that even a hardened person can't stand it.
Now Nie Chen felt like stars were shining in his eyes, he had a splitting headache, and his head was buzzing.
After returning to the bedroom, Nie Chen washed his face hastily, cleaned away the blood on his body, and then fell asleep holding Weng Qiuchan.
…
Night, Sheriff's Mansion.
Liu Jia sat on the chair and listened to Liu Zhen's report.
"So, the leader of Qingfeng Village, Weng Huan, is dead, and Nie Chen is now in charge. Their soldiers and horses suffered heavy losses, but the county guard still failed to capture Qingshui County?"
"Yes, miss, the soldiers and horses of Qingfeng Village are resisting fiercely. They are well-equipped and have trebuchets. If they are from a high position, it will be difficult for the county guards to defeat them."
Liu Zhen said respectfully.
Liu Jia nodded and said,
"Don't sell off the county's property yet. Now we have more than eight million taels of silver. During this period of time, we have gradually taken out and hid this money, scattered it and hid it. We still have many hidden strongholds.
In addition, in the past few days, I will secretly contact the merchants in the county governor's mansion to reveal my intention to sell off their properties. "
Liu Zhen's face changed greatly when he heard this and asked,
"Miss, are we going to run away?"
Liu Jia smiled leisurely and said,
"There must be precautions. Nie Chen should not be underestimated. If the county guards continue to fight, the number of soldiers will become less and less. When the time comes, there is no guarantee that Nie Chen will overturn the situation.
It's a good thing that he can beat Nie Chen, and it will be great if he can get the money back. If he can't win, we have to make advance preparations.
You should pay more attention to the war in the north these days. Once the county guard is defeated and retreats, or is killed, come back and notify me immediately. At that time, I will ask our people to sell their property and leave directly with the money within a day. "
"My subordinate understands."
Liu Zhen clasped his hands and bowed, and when he was about to leave, he was stopped by Liu Jia again.
"Wait a minute, you go and arrange for people to collect and purchase poisons from the whole city and deliver them to the county governor.
Give him another two hundred thousand taels of silver to reward the soldiers.
In terms of fighting, we can't help much, but we can help if we can. After all, if he wins, I don't have to leave my hometown and become the lost dog. "
"The villain understands."
Just when Liu Zhen was about to leave, a shout suddenly came from outside Liu Jia's yard,
"Is Miss Liu at home? The weather is very nice today, how about we go on an outing together?"
Hearing this, Liu Zhen gritted his teeth and said,
"Miss, should I kill him?"
Liu Jia sneered,
"Why kill him? After all, he is a prince. What if he can become emperor in the future? Let's hang him first. Regardless of whether he will be useful in the future, he is still a person. Let's fix the relationship first."
"The villain understands."
…
The night was hazy, and the county guard's camp south of Qingshui County became quiet.
Except for the patrolling soldiers, most people fell asleep.
Outside the camp, a dozen figures quietly walked over.
"Boss, the patrol has passed, let's go in."
Li Mo whispered to Qi Huan.
At this time, they were all wearing the uniforms of the county guard army and holding military sabers.
This was taken from the corpses of fallen enemy soldiers by Qi Huan when he was collecting the corpses, and was specially prepared for this night attack.
Qi Huan looked at the wooden camp walls, then waved his hand, and a dozen people quickly climbed over the camp walls and came to the back of the tent.
All the Shadow Guards are good players, and doing these things is no problem.
"Let's go on patrol."
Qi Huan waved his hand and led everyone to line up neatly and walked into the camp openly.
As they walked, they observed the enemy's camp. There were many tents in the camp, and they were neatly lit by torches along the way.
They didn't know where the food and grass were stored, so they could only watch as they walked.
After almost walking through the entire camp, they discovered a mountain of grain and grass in a corner of the southwest wall.
The grains were piled in more than a dozen large granaries, piled together with the hay for feeding the horses, making it very messy.
The grain in the granary is also packed in sacks for easy transportation.
There were torches all around, illuminating the area brightly.
There were more than twenty soldiers guarding the grain and grass. They were all lying on the hay and dozing off.
After all, the war has been going on during the day, and there is no rest at night. No one can withstand it.
Qi Huan led the people towards the grain and grass side.
A soldier who was leaning on a haystack and squinting heard the footsteps, woke up suddenly, and shouted,
"who?!"
"Patrol!"
Qi Huan replied coldly.
