With a "pop" sound, a raindrop suddenly fell from the sky and landed on the torch with residual fire on the ground.
A wisp of green smoke immediately rose up.
Next to him, a broken knife was stuck upside down in the ground, reflecting a childish and twisted face.
There was still a trace of confusion in his godless eyes, but his breathing had been completely cut off.
Further out, more corpses were lying on the ground, most of them young and wearing black clothes and armor.
Most of the armor is leather armor, and the galloping Thousand Oxen Sword, the sharp spear, and the sinister crossbow arrows all penetrated it.
On the civil war battlefield within a radius of several miles, there were still the roars of 3,300 people fighting, but more importantly, it was the ruthless killing blows of the soldiers.
"Tonight's gains must be carefully calculated. Every soldier must have his due merit." A calm voice sounded from the city gate tower.
Li Xuan wore black fish scale armor, holding the Eight-sided Han Sword in her hands, looking at the battlefield with still embers in front of her with a calm expression.
"I obey the order." Zhang Yi stood up from behind and accepted the promise.
Now that Si Gong Jun Wang Qin is not here, all examinations will naturally be taken care of by him, the Director of Military Affairs.
"Yes!" Li Xuan nodded and said with his back to Zhang Yi: "Jinhua County came at the critical moment to block the rebel bandits' retreat. The rebel bandits were completely wiped out in a few orders. Jinhua County Magistrate Ning Yi added merit;
Other military inspectors, including Xu Jian and Cao Cao, Qianniu Preparation and Qiu Zhenmu, and Du Bixing, Cao and the military inspectors, each receive one level of merit;
Du Bixing takes the lead, and the others will report to me after verification.
After the king and the governor Wang signed, they reported to the center. "
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty!" Ning Yi, Xu Jian, Qiu Zhenmu, and Du Bixing handed over their hands at the same time.
Li Xuan waved his hand casually, and the four of them stepped back at the same time, looking at Li Xuan with a hint of awe in their eyes.
Last night, under Li Xuan's strategizing, the six hundred elite black soldiers of the Tianyin Sect who came to Wuzhou were almost completely wiped out, and only a few escaped.
Among them, the Qianniu Guards were the most powerful. Under the cavalry charge, very few people could hold their front straight.
Afterwards, taking advantage of the cavalry charge, the Wuzhou soldiers swarmed up and the Kuaiji soldiers on the city wall kept firing arrows.
The black soldiers who entered the city were in a dilemma and were immediately killed in pieces. However, there were nearly 400 remnants of the Tianyin Sect outside the city.
With the ferocity and fearlessness of these people, if they really want to fight to the death, even if these people under Li Xuan can hang them, they will definitely suffer heavy losses.
At this time, Ning Yi personally led a group of Jinhua soldiers and charged directly from the rear. The black soldiers immediately panicked.
Qianniuwei raised troops to cover up the attack, and the overall situation was completely decided.
Li Xuan did order Ning Yi to move his camera, but it was only for the chaos at the city gate, that is, for these people who attacked tonight.
If they had really seen through Li Xuan's earlier order, tonight might not have come.
"The next step is the pension." Li Xuan took a breath and said, "It is inevitable that the general will die on the battlefield. The soldiers who were killed or injured today will receive double the pension. This is made public."
"I obey the order!" Han Jiang, a member of Hu Cao's army, stepped forward and accepted the promise.
"Then there are the other counties." After a brief pause, Li Xuan followed up and said: "Tonight the Tianyin Sect is taking action in the prefecture, and other counties and villages, I'm afraid they are also taking action at the same time. Xu joins the army! "
Xu Jian, a member of the Bingcao army, took a step forward, bowed his hands and said, "I'm here, my official."
"From now on, I order you to coordinate the recruitment of soldiers in all counties and cities to quell the banditry in various places, and prepare to deal with the changes in Muzhou." Li Xuan looked to the southeast and said softly: "Especially Dongyang, from tonight's battle, Stroke, select a team and prepare to leave for Dongyang as soon as possible. Tonight, there may have been a war over there."
At the same moment when the Tianyin Sect invaded the city, Peng Yun, who was in Wuyi, must have led his troops eastward. No one knew where he was now.
Maybe they have arrived at Dongyang City, or maybe they are blocked at Green Willow Villa.
There is also the Lanxi Gold Mine, which is also a mess. The Qian family can
It's not that easy to give up.
That's a whole gold mine!
"What's going on over there in Dingxingfang now?" Li Xuan turned her head and looked at Du Bixing.
Du Bixing stepped forward and cupped his hands and said: "Reporting to your lord, there are always people trying to break out of the gate of Dingxing Square tonight, but the official ordered people to carry stones to block the gate. Anyone else who tried to climb over and rush out was all captured, especially It was when the Tianyin Sect was attacking the city. I don’t know how many people attacked madly, but they were all blocked. It wasn’t until the sounds of fighting here gradually subsided that the other side also gradually became quiet.”
Li Xuan thought for a while and said: "Tonight we will still lock the gate of the house and no entry or exit will be allowed. In addition, we will inform them of the defeat of the Tianyin bandits in their attack on the city.
At midnight tomorrow, we will go inside and issue a notice to calm the people, and arrest those who attacked the square gate last night. They will all be assigned to Hucao, Shicao and Kucao.
Transferring tax grains, dredging waterways, and building grain depots all require manpower, so use them to pay for it. "
"Your Majesty, please be merciful!" Everyone present raised their hands at the same time.
If these people follow the law, not only will they be killed, but their family members will also be killed.
Li Xuan assigned them to hard labor, which was equivalent to indirectly saving their lives and the lives of their families.
Ordinary people may not be able to see it, but these people present can see it clearly.
"The last thing left is Lanxi." Li Xuan turned to look northwest and said softly: "Although the Tianyin Sect in Wuzhou has launched an attack to attack the city, I am afraid that Muzhou is not fully prepared yet. , but once they received the news of Wuzhou's defeat, they would immediately take action.
From now on, Wuzhou must strengthen preparations in all aspects, recruit soldiers, and seize summer grain. Everyone must be prepared. "
"I obey the order!" The lustful look on the faces of everyone present disappeared without a trace in an instant.
"Meiling Pass is the most important pass for Muzhou to enter Muzhou by land. The Tianyin Sect must have captured it now and must recapture it." Li Xuan looked at Sicheng, the Dushui Sect on one side. He said with a stern look: "Heng Sicheng, I order you to prepare three large ships immediately. Tomorrow, I will rush to Lanxi."
"I obey the order!" Cheng Henghan, the commander of the Dushui Division, immediately stepped forward to accept the promise without any hesitation.
However, he did not retreat directly, but asked again: "Your Majesty, do you want Sanheguan to be closed immediately?"
Sanheguan is the first pass on the Wujiang River from Tonglu to Wuzhou and out of the mountains.
But in the middle, the Xin'an River flows in from Jiande.
The Tianyin Sect will definitely send troops from Jiande and sail into the Wujiang River, and then capture Lanxi and go straight to Wuzhou.
As long as Sanheguan is closed, all ships on the river will no longer be able to pass.
"Do you want to close it immediately?" Li Xuan raised her head and looked at everyone present.
"What do you think, Your Majesty?" Zhang Yi couldn't help but walked out.
Li Xuan nodded and said: "Closing Sanheguan and blocking the Wujiang River will indeed make the Tianyin Sect's ships impassable, but we will also lose the opportunity to attack the Tianyin Sect."
"Your Majesty thinks highly of us. Wuzhou is no better than Hangzhou. There is no navy here. All we can do is to close the checkpoint immediately and wait until the Hangzhou navy comes to help." Xu Jian held his hand with a wry smile on his face.
"Yes, Navy Master!" Li Xuan nodded gently, with a hint of ridicule in his eyes.
Muzhou can reach Wuzhou and Quzhou to the southeast, and Hangzhou to the southeast. However, Tianyin Sect has never thought of making a breakthrough from Hangzhou.
Because the road from Muzhou to Hangzhou is farther, with almost all high mountains and ridges in between, and only one Wujiang River passes up and down.
Whether it is Tonglu or Fuyang, if the Wujiang River is blocked anywhere, the Tianyin Sect will immediately be in a dilemma.
On the contrary, they need to blockade the Wujiang River to prevent the Hangzhou navy from taking advantage of the river to invade Jiande.
"Then seal Sanhe Pass, seal Sanhe Pass with great fanfare. From now on, all business travelers will divert to the Dongyang River. After Dongyang is pacified, all ships will travel from the east." Li Xuan suddenly clenched his fist, with a thoughtful look on his face. look.
Everyone present saw Li
Xuan looked at each other with such expressions, a trace of doubt flashed in their eyes.
Their king of Nanchang thought of his plan again.
"I wonder when the prince will leave tomorrow. How many troops will the soldiers need to mobilize to accompany him?" Xu Jian stood up again.
Li Xuan frowned and said, "Let's mobilize a team first. Although the city has been temporarily calmed down, we still need to arrange personnel to guard the interior. Especially what happened in the granary last night must not happen again."
"I obey the order!" Xu Jian accepted the order with his hand, but then he said: "Your Majesty, do you need me to accompany you to Lanxi this time?"
"Oh?" Everyone present suddenly realized that Xu Jian wanted to follow Li Xuan to Lanxi.
After all, it is easiest to achieve meritorious service on the battlefield.
Under the gaze of everyone, Li Xuan shook his head unexpectedly: "Xu Canjun, I need you to sit in the city and recruit and dispatch soldiers. You are the best at this. Once the army attacks Muzhou, I need you to have someone." There are enough troops to hold them back until reinforcements from Hangzhou and Yuezhou arrive."
At that time, Chen Shuozhen rebelled and captured the city of Muzhou with hundreds of people, and then conquered several cities in succession.
The force expanded to tens of thousands in a very short period of time. If the army had not hit a wall in Shezhou, who knows what size they would have grown to.
Today's situation is almost a replica of that year. The Tianyin Sect left only 500 black soldiers in Muzhou, but Li Xuan believes that with their strength and belief foundation, they can expand to tens of thousands more in a very short period of time. number.
At that time, it was the most dangerous situation that Wuzhou had to face.
"What the prince means is that you don't need to go to Dongyang even if you are a lower-ranking official?" Xu Jian keenly grasped Li Xuan's subtext, and then asked: "I wonder who will lead the crowd to support?"
The other people present were all looking at Li Xuan eagerly at this moment.
Li Xuan smiled faintly, then smiled mysteriously and said, "You will soon know who is leading the crowd to Dongyang. The appearance of this person will definitely exceed your expectations."
When everyone present heard this, they looked at each other.
Zhang Yi suddenly raised his eyebrows, and a figure immediately appeared in his mind.
