Ye Zheng led his 3,000-strong coalition of bandits across the mountains and ridges, heading straight for Feng County within the jurisdiction of Linjiang City.
Along the way, everyone traveled day and night, carefully sending out pioneers to investigate and see if there was anything unusual before proceeding cautiously. Finally, in the evening four days later, they entered the boundaries of a small town in Feng County.
.
At this time, someone suggested to Ye Zheng whether he should capture this town first, because small towns usually do not have any regular troops, only a guard station with fifty guards stationed, and those guards
They were all recruited from some local residents, so attacking these small towns was a piece of cake for Ye Zheng and the others.
However, Ye Zheng rejected the proposal to attack the town. He immediately ordered to choose a hidden mountain road, bypass the town and go straight to Feng County, the main destination of the trip.
Faced with Ye Zheng's order, some leaders of small villages were still puzzled. They didn't understand why the newly appointed leader didn't eat any meat. How easy it was to take over this town.
It's a matter of fact, but the alliance leader just won't do it.
Faced with their doubts, Ye Zheng explained to them: "What does it mean to capture a small town? Besides, in a town with a small population like this, how much food and grass can be found in the town government? What if this happened?
But to scare the snake away and thus alarm Feng County, which is dozens of miles away, this move would be too much of a loss."
After his explanation, everyone suddenly realized and secretly thought that this alliance leader really has a brain and can see far. No wonder he can become the alliance leader. This is the gap between people like themselves and him.
Under Ye Zheng's order, the three thousand bandit coalition immediately bypassed the small town, chose a more secluded road, and headed straight for Feng County.
At this time, according to reports from some brothers who are familiar with the terrain here, the distance from here to Nafeng County is only thirty miles at most. Therefore, when they entered and marched nearly twenty miles, the sky turned dark.
It's already dark.
At this time, Ye Zheng ordered a group of bandit leaders to pass down the order, asking them to notify all the brothers in each village, asking them to immediately find a hidden forest, and then let all the people hide in it to rest and eat, and prepare to attack Feng County City.
After half an hour of resting and eating, everyone's physical strength had almost recovered. At this time, Ye Zheng looked at the sky and estimated that the time was probably around nine o'clock.
At that moment, he gave the order, and everyone was ready to fight and could attack Fengxian City at any time.
At this time, Ye Zheng, supported by a group of bandit leaders, stood on a high slope, pointing to Feng County City, which was visible in the distance, with a majestic look on his face, and ordered in a sharp tone: "That is Feng County City.
Send the order, we must capture Feng County before midnight!"
"As you command!"
After hearing the order, everyone took the order and went down to prepare for the battle.
At this time, Ye Zheng ordered Liu Chengfeng to personally lead more than a dozen powerful warriors to attack and kill the archers and warrior masters guarding the city.
When Liu Cheng heard this, he immediately took the order and went down to prepare.
After arranging all the important things, Ye Zheng looked back at Niu Sanyan, who was standing behind him, and said: "Brother Sanyan, after we attack the county town, you can take the sniper rifle and attack the enemy."
Find a hidden sniper point at a high place to deal with the officials and commanding officers who are guarding the city."
Niu Sanyan listened, nodded, and said: "Yes! Don't worry, leader, I will definitely follow your instructions and assassinate those masters and commanders who threaten us on the tower."
Hearing this, Ye Zheng was very satisfied and immediately said with a smile: "Then it will be hard on you tonight, but you must pay attention to your own safety. If you find anything wrong, report it to me in time."
"Well, I understand." Niu Sanyan nodded.
"Okay then, let's go down and get ready to go. Are they all ready and waiting for me down there?"
Ye Zheng looked at the three thousand bandits who were fully armed and ready. He immediately walked down the high slope with Niu Sanyan, leading the three thousand bandits and quietly ran towards Feng County ten miles away.
go.
Because it is already almost ten o'clock in the evening. People at that time usually have dinner very early. By about seven or eight o'clock in the evening, the residents in the county basically close their doors and turn off the lights to go to bed. Therefore, they
I just stood in Gaopo and looked over at Chaofeng County. I saw that the city was basically dark. Although I could see scattered lights inside, I knew without thinking that they must be some brothels and casinos.
Only entertainment venues are brightly lit at such a late hour.
Seeing those, Ye Zheng couldn't help but think to himself, it seems that no matter which dynasty or world we are in, the gambling and gambling industries will always be so prosperous.
Since this was the first time that Ye Zheng led so many troops to attack a large-scale small city, he was inevitably a little nervous and excited. After taking a deep breath, he suddenly felt the tension and uneasiness in his heart.
After feeling a little relieved, he gave an order to everyone to abandon the remote and difficult trails, drive directly along the flat official road, and drive straight to Fengxian City. Anyway, it was already so late now, outside the city
There are no more pedestrians on the official road, so they dare to walk on the official road so blatantly without worrying about being discovered.
After getting on the flat and wide official road, Ye Zheng led 3,000 men and horses and quietly approached Feng County. In order to prevent the hoofs of the horses he and the leaders were riding from making any sound, all the hoofs of the horses were wrapped with cloth strips.
So, although they now have a small number of people riding horses, they don't make too much noise. Unless the officers and soldiers now send scouts and spies to hide not far from the official road, it will be difficult for the officers and soldiers guarding the city to detect their arrival.
.
Along the way, no one made a sound, and even their breathing slowed down a lot. It was midsummer at this time, so the mountain roads and official roads were filled with the sounds of insects and frogs everywhere.
To a large extent, it helped Ye Zheng and the others cover up part of the movement.
More than half an hour later, everyone had arrived outside Fengxian County.
At this time, they were less than half a mile away from the city. From a distance, they could roughly see the city gate of Fengxian City and the outline of the continuous city wall next to it.
The city gate has long been closed at this time, and the city tower is also dark and silent. There are no soldiers patrolling the city, and there is no sound of banging bangs or clock beats coming from the city. Now the Fengxian County is displayed in front of Ye Zheng and everyone.
The city is so quiet, it's almost like a ghost town with no life in it.
