The march of the bandits was an unorganized affair. At least, in Wu Sangui's eyes, it was simply a mess.
As long as they know the destination, have food, and can follow the orders of the big leader and head towards the destination, for this ragtag group of people, this is what they think of as a march. It has been like this before, and it will be like this in the future. It will not
What changes.
From the moment he left the city, Wu Sangui had actually given up the idea of restraining his army to act honestly like an army. Fortunately, no matter how chaotic the army's march seemed, there was still something.
There is order, at least, there will be no chaos between the bandits and the bandits. Their hills are clearly separated, and there is even a buffer distance deliberately maintained between each hill. It seems to be to prevent chaos, but Wu Sangui would rather believe that,
This is to be wary of each other.
However, as long as the leader of these bandits is always available and can obey his orders, Wu Sangui can only be indifferent. If he is really entangled in the details, Wu Sangui will be angry to death.
Of course, Wu Sangui also has his own soldiers and direct descendants in the team. The so-called direct descendants are naturally the group of people who first followed him in Qingyang Mansion Old Street. These people are the "Wu Zihao" team.
After Wu Sangui came to power, he naturally became his direct lineage.
There were not many of these direct descendants, only a thousand or so at most. They surrounded Wu Sangui in the central army and followed the brigade towards Luochuan.
As if God had arranged for the good, the weather has been very good these two days. Except for the cold weather and the absence of wind and rain, this also made the journey that was originally expected to take almost three days a full day ahead of schedule. The most advanced troops and horses arrived.
Arrive at the foot of Luochuan City.
As soon as Wu Sangui arrived, a piece of news that surprised him came to him.
The vanguard troops who first arrived at Luochuan City were about a thousand people, and their leader was Li Wanqing. I don’t know if this guy was simple-minded, but he still wanted to take credit and show off in front of everyone. He took it with him.
When his soldiers and horses arrived at the city, they didn't even take a breath and ordered the attack on the county seat.
As a result, nearly two hundred people were lost in one encounter, and they had to withdraw in disgrace and wait for the arrival of the large group of people.
"Brother Li has become more capable this time. He probably thinks that Brother Li can take over such a big county by himself. He shows his little face in front of his brothers. Now he is at a disadvantage!"
"You can't say that. Brother Li took the lead and tried the quality of this Cunmeng for us. This spirit is worthy of praise!"
Wu Sangui looked at the leaders of the group and sarcastically mocked Li Wanqing, but his face showed no expression. He waited until everyone had finished teasing him, then he spoke slowly.
"Brother Li, tell me how you fought this battle!"
"Wu Shuai!" Li Wanqing heard Wu Sangui's question and stood up with a slumped head: "How else can we fight? Of course, we must make a promise to the brothers and rush into the city to rob them as they please, and then everyone will rush forward.
Got it!"
"You were beaten back in the end?" Wu Sangui glared at him angrily: "I just saw the Luochuan City Wall. It's only three people high. Even if you can't rush up, if you retreat immediately, there won't be so many casualties.
Well, is it that Luochuan City has more soldiers and horses, or is it that Luochuan City’s soldiers and horses are more powerful..."
"What's the use!" Li Wanqing said with a frown: "No matter how many I have fought, even if they are officers and soldiers, they are nothing more than this. Wu Shuai, there is something weird about the soldiers and horses in this city!"
"There's something weird!" Everyone originally looked down on Li Wanqing, but when they heard what he said, everyone immediately put away their contempt and became a little concerned.
"That's really weird!" Li Wanqing shouted: "Why, you all think I'm useless, right? My brothers and I didn't hesitate when we were fighting officers and soldiers!"
"Say!" Wu Sangui snorted: "What's weird!"
"There are demons in Luochuan City, and they know demon magic. If they hadn't used demon magic, how could I have been defeated so quickly!" Li Wanqing said bitterly: "Oh no, I must get this debt back.
Wu Shuai, you make the decision for me!"
"explain……!"
"This city wall is indeed not high. There are some damaged areas over there. You can just make a ladder and climb up!" Li Wanqing said with some lingering fear when talking about the situation at that time: "But the people on this wall were all tortured.
After using the magic spell, they didn't react at all when the knife was slashed on them. I saw with my own eyes that one guy's intestines fell out, as if nothing happened..."
"It would be fine if only one or two people were like this, but everyone is like this. They don't say anything, as if they only know how to kill and be killed..."
"So, can they be killed?" A leader asked impatiently: "Don't say you lost hundreds of people, you didn't even kill a single person!"
"Of course you can kill, but you didn't see the situation at that time. Hundreds of people were fighting in a group, and all you could hear was the shouts of my brothers and the collision of weapons. Those people didn't know how to kill them until they died.
Speaking out, I feel that my brother and I are not at war with anyone..."
He raised his head and looked at Wu Sangui with some horror: "Wu Shuai, are these people already dead a long time ago, and then they were ordered by people with magic spells? Otherwise, let's find some people who know magic to break the rules."
Let’s get rid of their sorcery!”
"I have tens of thousands of troops approaching the city. Do I need to find a few monks and Taoist priests to do something before the war?" Wu Sangui looked at him coldly: "As long as he can be killed, no matter what magic method he uses or not, just hack him to death.
If you are afraid that they will come back to life again, just chop them into several more pieces!"
"Wu Shuai!" Several leaders said one after another: "We are not afraid that we will not be able to defeat him, but it is just a small county in this area. If a large number of our brothers are lost due to evil magic, it is not cost-effective. For Wu Shuai's
In terms of the great cause, it is even more at a loss. Among the tens of thousands of us, it shouldn’t be difficult to find a few people who know magic. Why not let them try it first..."
Wu Sangui looked at everyone in front of him who looked convinced, and sighed slightly in his heart. When Li Wanqing talked about magic, he thought that the thieves in the city had firearms. Anyway, when he heard the movement of firearms, the thieves would get angry.
Calling out evil spirits is a joke that everyone in Nanhaiwei knows, and some people even use this joke to make fun of the 4,000th household, which is almost entirely composed of refugees.
He has been in the 4000th household for a long time, so he naturally knows this trick.
However, the magic spell that Li Wanqing was talking about in front of him seemed to have nothing to do with firearms. To be honest, this was the first time he had heard of such a strange situation. However, hundreds of lives were lost here. This is also adulteration.
Something terrible!
"Wu Shuai, someone from Luochuan County has come to see you!"
At this moment, someone hurriedly came to report from outside. Wu Sangui and the leaders were immediately in high spirits, and Li Wanqing even gritted his teeth and said: "Seeing our army coming, now I know that I am afraid and want to surrender. How can I do this?"
