Chapter 359 Fortified City!
"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" fluttered in the wind and made a hunting sound. Wu Nian was riding on his horse and looked back at his soldiers and horses from time to time.
In the battle against Jin Huanshan, out of six or seven thousand men, only four thousand capable soldiers were left.
He didn't even 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 that they have captured many Mongolian and Yuan armors along the way. Currently, the proportion of armored soldiers in the army has exceeded half.
This is a very scary number.
The rate of Mongolian soldiers wearing iron armor was only 30%.
"It will definitely go smoothly." 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.
The soldiers of Wu Nianjun were eating solid food and drinking cold water, so they were not hungry, but traveling all night made these strong men a little unbearable.
A large group of people walked through the road, alarming the people in nearby villages and causing a commotion. Wu Nian ignored them and urged the people to move forward quickly.
If the city's defenders have no defense, or only have 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. He saw figures shaking on the city gate.
There were a lot of 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, you will lead 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 responded loudly, 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 divided into two teams. After a simple reorganization, the first team carried fifty ladders and launched an attack towards Chong County.
"Enemy attack!!!!" Of course the defenders on the city discovered Wu Nian's army, and countless soldiers shouted loudly. Some people immediately got off the city wall, got on their horses, 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 is from a military background, but is a civilian master, and both have outstanding martial arts skills.
Especially Jiang Gandang. The Jiang family originally ran an escort agency. Before the Meng Yuan people went south, Liaodong was in chaos.
There are so many bandits.
No one who dares to open an escort agency or engage in escort business in Liaodong is a soft persimmon.
After the Mongolians occupied Liaodong, the Jiang family gave up the escort business and took their escorts to join the thousands of Han households.
Jiang Gan was thirty-two years old this year and in his prime. He used a long-handled sword to fight with a Meng Yuan commander on horseback, and defeated the Meng Yuan commander in just a dozen moves.
He is also very good at swordsmanship with a short sword. He was originally a strong competitor of Wanhu, the Han people, but for various reasons, he became a captain of thousands and was ordered to guard Chong County.
Both of them were cautious by nature. After learning about Wu Nian's rampage 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 town once. Moreover, he was surrounded, 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's really something I didn't expect.
Jiang Mansion covers a large area and is magnificent.
The slaves at home have already gotten up. The cook has already directed the cooks to start lighting a fire for the masters to cook.
Jiang Gan woke up early in the morning, holding a long-handled broadsword and practicing knife skills in the yard.
He has leopard eyes, a face full of beards, and a frighteningly tall figure. When he plays with sword skills, his leopard eyes shine brightly, and he lets out loud shouts from time to time.
Although it was just martial arts training, it was as if he were on the battlefield, full of murderous intent.
The house slaves and maidservants who passed by were all attracted by his murderous aura. They lowered their heads in fear and walked away quickly.
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 I 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 seemed as if he had crossed the mountains and reached the Central Plains.
"Zhang Bu's skills are still inferior to mine. He has become a member of thousands of Han households, but I only become a captain of thousands. It's really a shame. I really hope that the Mongolian people will consolidate the power of Liaodong and send troops south to attack Shanhaiguan. I can do that.
With the big sword in my hand and my true ability in fighting, I will seize the official positions of thousands of Han households and make them marquises and generals."
Jiang Gandang was full of high spirits and forge ahead. He wanted to ride on this flowery land and win outstanding achievements.
But soon, he frowned.
"It was Wu Nian who refused to obey. He caused chaos in the mountains and delayed the Mongolian Yuan people's time 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 army 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 alert, could it be?
He shook his head, showing hesitation.
"Is it impossible? How could Wu Nian reach Chong County with so many households chasing and intercepting him?"
"Da da da."
Soon after, Jiang Gandang's suspicions were confirmed. A soldier arrived at Jiang Mansion on horseback. After dismounting, he rolled and crawled in front of Jiang Gandang and panted: "General, there are unknown troops attacking the city.
, the flag is "Wu"."
Jiang Gan was stunned for a moment, was it really Wu Nian? Then he immediately became excited and laughed loudly: "Okay, okay. I was just about to meet this guy."
"Come here, put on my armor. In addition, send someone to tell Qian Zhengguang that Wu Nian is mine. He will arrange the defense of the city." Jiang Gan shouted. A group of soldiers immediately came over with his armor.
