Under the night, the whole Hezhou City was in a hurry.
Without a general, and with insufficient troops, they were caught off guard, and the supplies needed to defend the city were far from ready.
"Crash! Crash! Crash!"
Led by Si Hu, hundreds of soldiers held huge beating pillars and roared, crashing towards the south gate of Hezhou.
"Throw a fire barrel and burn the enemy who hits the door to death!"
The defenders on the top of the city looked panicked and hurriedly thought of solutions.
"Someone boarded first!"
boom--
As if to cope with the situation, at this moment, two huge southern city gates were suddenly knocked out of a gap.
The hundreds of defenders who were holding the door behind were suddenly frightened and ran away in fear.
"Fight into Hezhou!"
Xu Mu looked solemn, raised his sword and pointed far away, his silver armor reflecting the moonlight in the night, and his whole person became majestic for a moment.
"Waving the flag——"
Wei Xiaowu and Chen Baishan stood on a high place, swaying the camp flag in the night wind.
In front of Hezhou City, there were endless waves of sound. The swords and robes and armor were being sharpened together, and they were also clanging endlessly.
Si Hu abandoned the knocking post, took off his double-edged giant ax, and led the hundred warriors behind him who were also wearing iron armor, and rushed in from the south gate first.
Stepping on the top of the city, Yu Wen chopped off the heads of the defenders with a knife. He quickly directed the men on the wall to seize the city gate without caring about the blood all over his body.
There were only a few thousand Xiaofeng Camp defenders left, but they finally stabilized their position under the scoldings of several captains.
"Retreat, exit Hezhou! Go and meet the general!"
The north city gate suddenly opened. Thousands of Xiaofeng soldiers had no intention of defending. They were on foot and on horseback, and hurriedly fled out of the city.
Chang Wei led his men and chased him out of the city gate, shooting away two or three waves of flying arrows. In an instant, dozens more people fell off their horses and died in the night.
"Roar!"
On top of the city and below the city gates, there were shouts of victory everywhere.
Xu Mu walked coldly into Hezhou City with thousands of dead soldiers as bodyguards.
…
Zhao Qingyun, who was dozens of miles away, suddenly stopped and turned his head hastily, looking at the thick smoke rising over Hezhou City not far behind.
"What's going on? The city is on fire?"
Huang Daochun also frowned, "It's long past the time to start cooking."
"Huang Daochun, if you mention this word again, I will kill you!" Zhao Qingyun's face was full of anger. The most intelligent man in Beidi was so alive and led by his boss like a monkey.
Huang Daochun frowned, knowing that he was wrong, so he could only snort.
"Maybe something happened." Zhao Qingyun didn't dare to pull up the reins. Hezhou is his territory. For this reason, he spent a lot of money to build an extraordinary general's mansion.
After a long time, the sentry knight who finally came to investigate came back in a hurry. The first words he spoke almost made Zhao Qingyun fall off his horse in shock.
"General, He, Hezhou City has been attacked!"
…
"Zhengbei General's Mansion."
After entering Hezhou, Xu Mu raised his head coldly and looked at an exquisite mansion that was about to be completed due north of the city.
Colored tiles were laid and a long cobblestone walkway was built. In front of the mansion, four lying stone lions were erected.
Xu Mu was a little amused. He had only been the general of the Northern Expedition for two days, and he was already very extravagant and evil.
The city of Hezhou was full of people wailing and crying. During the siege, he had been hiding in a deep alley in shock and fear. Now when he emerged, Xu Mu saw clearly that one or two of them were in tatters, and their faces were yellow from hunger.
"General Xu, there are still more than 3,000 tame horses in the horse gallery." Yu Wen spoke urgently after receiving the order.
Before Hezhou is Wangzhou, which is at least a hundred miles away. Zhao Qingyun led 30,000 troops to block the empty space and must run back to Hezhou City.
"Yu Wen, if you stay in Hezhou City, if nothing happens, demolish this mansion and build some row houses to settle the people."
Fearing that something would go wrong, Xu Mu stayed with Yu Wen and led ten thousand people to defend Hezhou.
Then, more than 3,000 Di horses were taken out. Then he took 30,000 people and hurried to Wangzhou City.
There were no charging warriors on horseback, but it was a pity that Wei Feng in Zhuangzi was not there. Not counting Si Hu, Si Hu is more suitable for warriors who are trapped in battle to kill the enemy.
"My little boss, I will be the cavalry leader?" Chang Wei blinked.
"Indeed, during this period of time, the three thousand Qingqi will be temporarily under your command."
Chang Wei did not refuse. He had been with his young master for a long time and was also a noisy master. He accepted the order by cupping his hand.
"march."
The 30,000-strong army and horses did not care to rest for a few minutes. They had just broken through Hezhou and now they were rushing to Wangzhou City again.
Passing along the road until dawn slowly dawns, familiar objects and scenes pop into view from time to time. Xu Mu, who was riding on the horse, felt as if he was in another world.
Around the mottled official roads, you would occasionally come across white bones lying on the ground. It was unknown whether they belonged to the officers, soldiers or civilians. Even their clothes had been stripped off.
"Brother Mu, there is no one left."
"Take refuge in the mountains."
Once Wangzhou City is restored, some people will go back. But now that there is war again, it is estimated that many people have escaped from Wangzhou, but cannot cross Hezhou, so they can only take shelter in the deep mountains and old forests.
"Speed up the march -" the three or four accompanying generals on horseback kept urging.
"General Xu, there are still less than thirty miles."
During the attack, Xu Mu raised his eyes and looked at the wolf smoke rising from the top of Wangzhou City in the distance, and his heart sank.
Even if he enters Shuzhou in the future, the Di dog in Saibei grassland will still be a terrible threat.
"Old soldier Wangzhou is equal to our fathers. He is still able to fight to the death in his old age. How can we not save him?" A general reined in his horse and shouted.
The hurried army also held knives and roared.
Turning his head, Xu Mu looked back.
In the gloomy morning light, the army of thirty thousand people swam forward quickly like giant snakes emerging from the grass.
…
"If we intercept and kill at this time, leading with 20,000 cavalry may have the effect of a surprise army." On a high slope in the distance, Huang Daochun stood facing the wind, his voice was cold.
Unfortunately, Zhao Qingyun did not accept it.
"He said three days, but he captured Hezhou in three days." Zhao Qingyun gritted his teeth, "Back then, your Beidi army of more than 100,000 people was still able to hold it. I regret that I should have listened to your evil plan. If I There is no point in losing the city if we secure Hezhou."
"I missed a plan. The calculation method should be fine." Huang Daochun's face turned pale. This must be a shame. How will those bearded counselors in Beidi's staff circle view him in the future?
"One move? I just think you missed a hundred moves!" Zhao Qingyun turned around coldly. At this time, he had no intention of intercepting him.
Even if he has 20,000 cavalry, even if he has geographical advantages.
If you don't dare, you just don't dare... Back then at the old racecourse of Sitong Road, he knew that the young boss seemed to be a born monster.
