The three thousand warriors are all made of muscles. They are all tall and tall. They line up in a neat queue and walk as fast as flying. There are dozens of Taoist captains around the team, who are responsible for constantly supplementing them with the Taoist skills of speeding.
Under the blessing of Taoism, the army marches very fast, and can cover hundreds of miles in one hour. The march also has rules. It runs for an hour, rests for a moment, and then runs for another hour.
The target of this attack was 800 miles away from the boundary. The army would not arrive until the next day. It would need to camp on the way and pass through the military defense line that Yuan Qingyan had painstakingly constructed.
Wei Yuan was riding on his horse, looking at the speeding troops from a distance, missing Fang He and his colleagues very much.
Baoyun's Seven Wonderful Treasure Tree also has the secret method of leading an army to march quickly. However, Wei Yuan does not have such talents yet, and he is not rich enough to equip each warrior with a military horse. Now the realm can only guarantee that every soldier
A Taoist priest had a horse.
The army marched, and in the early morning of the second day, a military fortress was visible in the distance.
This is a flat ground between two mountains, about a hundred miles wide. The military fortress was built in the center of the flat land, guarding the east-west passage. If a large group of people wanted to pass, they had to pass under the eyes of the military fortress.
When this army appeared in sight, the horn sounded in the camp. The military base immediately boiled. After a while, a general led several captains to the top of the city. He saw the army marching in uniform steps.
Coming with a sonorous sound, the general took a breath of cold air.
This kind of army was definitely not a ragtag group. The general thought it was a witch army attacking at first, and his face turned pale. Fortunately, when they got closer and saw that the entire Chu army was human, the general relaxed.
tone.
It would be easy if it wasn't a witch army! He was secretly relieved in his heart, but then he thought, it's not a witch army coming from the west, so doesn't it mean that it comes from that place?
His face, which had just gained some color, instantly turned pale again.
At this time, Wei Yuan was sitting on his horse, looking at the military fortress dozens of miles away, and could clearly see the people on the city wall. The guard of this military fortress was named Liu Mingyang, and he was a general from the local faction of the Western Jin Dynasty.
His unit does not belong to the northern border army of Yue Jinshan, nor is it considered a direct descendant of Yuan Qingyan, so Yuan Qingyan sent them far away to garrison here.
Four of the six military fortresses from north to south have heavy troops placed everywhere, which are traps set by Yue Jinshan. This military fortress is one of the remaining two.
Originally, the location of this military fortress was very important, but Yue Jinshan did not set any traps here. This is the essence of military use.
However, Wei Yuan was also a master in the art of war, and had mastered the essence of subduing the enemy without fighting. When the backyard of Yue Jinshan was set on fire, his nephew completely sold out the entire defense, so he avoided strong enemies and hit the key points directly.
On the military base, a captain asked: "General Liu, the opponent has entered the crossbow range, do you want to shoot?"
Liu Shenjiang's face was gloomy: "There is still two miles to go, how can we fight?"
The captain was startled and then said: "As long as you raise the front end of the crossbow by two feet and three inches, you can shoot an extra two miles. If you don't want to be so accurate, it's almost the same with five big blue bricks."
The captain was well versed in military matters, and he immediately gave out figures that were almost the same. However, General Liu Shen's face looked extremely ugly at this time.
At this time, a captain behind him said: "Isn't this crossbow broken? I just checked it this morning and it can't be used now."
"I maintained it myself, what's wrong?" the captain argued with a red face.
General Liu Shen suddenly approached him, sniffed hard, and said coldly: "If you dare to drink in the army and go to the city drunk, who are you, please take him away and imprison him for three days!"
The captain was startled again, and kept complaining: "I drank the wine during my shift the day before yesterday..."
General Liu Shen didn't want to hear his explanation. With a look, several captains personally took action, binding him and gagging him, and finally took the captain away.
So just ten miles away, thousands of troops didn't even slow down, and didn't even send out a troop to monitor the movement of the military fortress. They just drove past with a rumble.
One of the captains couldn't help it and cursed: "This is too disrespectful! At this time, I will lead two hundred cavalry and rush forward, and then I can kill them from behind! General Liu, why don't we give him a try?"
?" General Liu Shen glared and shouted: "What do you know? This is a tactic to lure the enemy, and there must be a back-up plan! Huh, he can't hide it from others, but he can't hide it from me, the general!"
Several captains secretly rolled their eyes. They naturally knew what kind of character General Liu Shen was. This person had nothing to do with famous generals. His only skill was to transfer into Rufeng, which he could do several times.
Escape from a desperate situation.
It's just that all the captains are smooth people, and no one will tell the truth.
Wei Yuan saw that all the troops had passed the military fortress safely, so he waved his hand, and nearly a hundred knights wearing masks filed out. Without concealing their aura at all, their horses crossed the valley in front of the military fortress with broken steps.
All the generals on the city wall took a breath. These masked knights were actually Daoji monks! There were only twelve Daoji monks in the entire fortress, less than half of the ones on the opposite side.
At that moment, a school captain began to count the masked knights, "Fifty, sixty...eighty-seven. It is indeed the Fifty Thieves of War!"
Another captain wondered: "Isn't it fifty thieves? This is almost a hundred!"
General Liu Shen's face was as pale as dirt. A knight wearing a jade mask in the distance suddenly turned his head and glanced this way from a distance. General Liu Shen suddenly froze in place as if a basin of ice water had been poured on him!
Fortunately, the knight just glanced at it and walked away surrounded by other knights.
The generals on the city wall were silent. Suddenly, a captain scolded: "The man named Yuan has no good intentions! If we are asked to guard here, aren't we going to die?!"
Another veteran captain said: "General Liu is really good at predicting things."
Only then did the captains realize that the flattery was sincere this time.
General Liu Shen's hands and feet were still cold at the moment, and he had no intention of accepting these flatteries, so he said: "I am a little weak, so I will go back to my tent and rest for a while. Remember to call me when they come back, and be sure not to act rashly! Whoever dares to shoot the first arrow, kill him!"
"
After giving instructions, he went down to the city to rest.
Just in the evening, the army came back again.
This time they dragged hundreds of carts, loaded with grain and supplies, and escorted hundreds of dejected officers and soldiers, and passed by the military base again in a mighty manner. This time it was even more extreme, only two miles away from the military base.
After receiving the news, Liu Shenjiang hurried to the city and took a breath of cold air. With so much food and baggage, the warehouse behind must have been robbed!
At this time, a defender raised his bow and nocked an arrow, aiming at a masked knight below. General Liu Shen had quick eyes and quick hands, and kicked the soldier off the city wall with a flying kick, causing him to vomit blood.
General Liu Shen was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat. When he looked down at the city again, he happened to see the jade-faced knight again.
The jade-faced knight seemed to have remembered something, and he summoned a large cart, then raised his gun and stabbed the loaded bag in the cart. White rice suddenly spilled out from the breach. Then the knight immediately raised his gun and
Looking at the city like that, he actually refused to leave.
Liu Shen broke out in cold sweat layer by layer. At the critical moment of life and death, the skill of guessing what he had practiced for many years finally came into use. An idea flashed in his mind and he shouted: "Pull out all the grain from the warehouse and load it into the truck."
, send it outside! Hurry, hurry, you all go! Don’t leave even a grain of rice behind!”
A school captain said in astonishment: "This... what if the superiors investigate?"
General Liu Shen glared at him and said, "You have been in the army for more than ten years. Why don't you understand this bit of common sense? You will burn down the granary tonight!"
