Nanzhao County, Nanyang Prefecture

Several government officials were leaning at the city gate, chatting listlessly.

"I said, these days are also strange. In the past, although we didn't rub shoulders with each other at the gate of our city, there was still a steady stream of people. Where have those merchants died these days? Why can't I see anyone?

."

One of the yamen officials seemed to know something. He looked around and saw no one, then lowered his voice and said: "I heard that a group of big bandits came to Ruzhou to the north of us. They killed officials and rebelled. There are already four or five of them."

The county town was captured, and houses and houses were looted and people were looted everywhere. The merchants probably did not dare to do business because of fear."

Another yamen servant chuckled and said: "Shit, what you are talking about are all old news from which dynasty and generation. They are all nonsense and nothing is right. My second uncle is from Ruzhou. I heard that that group of bandits

Unlike ordinary gangsters, who are very reasonable, do things strictly, give money for meals, and always defend the people's grievances, how can they rob businessmen?

Besides, given the money-hungry nature of those businessmen, even if there are obstacles on the road, they will not be frightened, and they will continue to carry out the business as usual."

When the first yamen officer saw someone retorting, he became anxious and said noisily: "Then why do you think those businessmen didn't come?"

"How do I know?"

"I think you just don't understand anything and you still call me nonsense."

"Okay, okay, stop arguing." One of them, who was older and had a high prestige, couldn't stand it anymore and stopped him.

After hearing this, the two people stopped arguing and stepped aside angrily without talking.

At this moment, an old man with disheveled hair, an unkempt face, a haggard appearance, and a pungent smell all over his body slowly walked over. After first greeting several government servants in a low voice, he timidly said: "Well done, sir.

I haven't eaten for several days, please give me something to eat!"

The yamen servant was sulking, and naturally his tone was bad, and he kept driving him away: "Ganggun, you old beggar, you are going to beg for food on me. Do you know who I am? Be careful, I will kill you."

After scolding, he was still angry, so he stepped forward and kicked the beggar twice until he screamed and moaned, but he still didn't stop.

At this time, the old yamen servant couldn't bear it anymore. He stepped forward and grabbed the yamen servant's arm and said: "Sanlang, forget it, forget it, why bother with a beggar?"

With that said, the elderly government servant said to the beggar who was lying huddled on the ground: "If you don't leave quickly, are you really going to be beaten to death?"

The beggar was so frightened that he struggled to get up from the ground and ran away as if he was running away.

"Wangdangshan?" The elder government official didn't expect that the beggar was an acquaintance, so he couldn't help calling out his name.

"Liu Tou, do you know him?" The yamen servant who was stopped vented his anger and asked a little nervously as most of the depression in his heart disappeared.

"We know each other? It can be considered a casual acquaintance. I remember that he has two sons in his family, and they both went to join the army. How did he end up like this when he was old?" the elderly government servant murmured.

"What else could be going on? It must be that those rough guys have no military pay and cannot support their families. What else can it be?" Seeing that Liu Tou was not an acquaintance of Liu Tou, the young government officer felt relieved and spat, "

If my son wants to be a soldier, I will break his legs myself first."

Wang Daozhi walked at the forefront of the army with high spirits. This was the first time he led an army to attack a county alone. The last time was in Shanxi. As a result, he was withdrawn before the attack started, so that time does not count.

To be honest, since Wang Daozhi surrendered to Pei Xiaoer in Wenxi County, he has been doing things under Pei Xiaoer's nose. Although his work is quite satisfactory and his status is not inferior to others, he just doesn't have the credit and still doesn't have the confidence to speak.

, although no one dares to say anything in front of him on weekdays, but behind his back, he has long been arranged to be useless.

Therefore, Wang Daozhi had been holding his breath for a long time and wanted to find an opportunity to prove his ability and let everyone see that he was not just a lucky person who just relied on flattery, but that he was also a capable and capable general.

After waiting for a long time this time, he finally got the opportunity to lead the army alone and attack the county town. He wanted to perform well and win a big victory, so that the whole army would look at him with admiration and give those who planned him a hard slap in the face.

Nanzhao County was named Nanzhao because the Nanzhaodian in the northeast corner of the county was a famous inn for businessmen and travelers on Wanluo Avenue. However, it was a pity that since Chongzhen came to power, in order to save money, he issued an edict to abolish most of the inns in the world.

Nanzhaoyi ceased to exist.

Of course, behind this major layoff, a courier boy lost his job and had no choice but to start his own business. The consequences were extremely serious. If Chongzhen knew this, he didn't know if he would wake up crying in the middle of the night.

There are not many soldiers in Nanzhao County, and the only thing to worry about is some wealthy gentry in the county. Due to its proximity to the business road, there are many merchants in Nanzhao County, and those people are the real leaders of Nanzhao County.

These people usually collude with the government, oppress good people, and are surrounded by a group of professional thugs. If these group of thugs are gathered to help defend Nanzhao County, then Nanzhao County will most likely become Tangchi Iron City. By then,

, I don’t know how many people have to die before I can capture Nanzhao City, and all my intentions to show off will be in vain.

"There is only one principle in fighting this battle, and that is that it must be fast, so fast that the soldiers in Nanzhao County cannot react, and so fast that the big households in the county have no time to connect in series. After they react, everything has settled.

, even if those big businessmen don't want to recognize it, they still have to hold their noses to recognize it." Wang Daozhi made up his mind.

"How can I be the fastest?" Zhou Ti asked.

In order to achieve the fastest results, the right way is to borrow Song and Meng's cavalry. However, Wang Daozhi did not want to do this because it would share the credit for his efforts. Although he claimed to be not a stingy person, in this case

In fact, the situation is a bit special. This is a turnaround battle for him to establish his prestige and feel proud. He wants to have a perfect ending.

If there is no need for cavalry, then they can only rely on their legs. Fortunately, Pei Jiajun's daily training includes a lot of endurance training. Although the training has been reduced since the transfer, it is naturally easy to cope with this distance.

Relying on two legs to march and want to achieve the goal of speed, the only way is to use a surprise attack, quietly approaching Nanzhao, and then launch a sneak attack at night. If the city is successfully stolen, it can also be achieved with lightning speed.

"We march at night, rest during the day, avoid the eyes and ears of the officers and soldiers, quietly approach Nanzhao, and launch a night attack, so that we can capture Nanzhao in one fell swoop." Wang Daozhi said seriously.

I have to say that the Pei family army seems to have a tradition of using night attacks. In the past, Liu Zhizu used night attacks to attack Jiezhou, and Feng Kebin also used night attacks to attack Ruzhou. Now Wang Dao directly attacks Nanzhao and wants to use night attacks. I can only say that night attacks are really

So useful.

Most people in this era have night blindness, and they cannot see anything at night, just like a blind person. If there is a person with normal vision fighting against them at this time, they will naturally have an advantage.

Since the founding of the army, Pei Jiajun has attached great importance to the treatment of soldiers. Although conditions are sometimes limited, Pei Xiaoer still does his best to provide enough nutrition to the Pei Jiajun soldiers. Therefore, there are very few people with night blindness in the army. It is precisely because of this

Only under these conditions can the Pei family army have the prerequisites to carry out various tactical actions.

"What if we are discovered by passers-by while we are marching?"
