The cool breeze blows the ancient woods, and the wildfire enters the remnant camp.

After more than a thousand miles of prison, the mountains and rivers were cleared.

"Passing Shenzhou"

Tang Dynasty: Dai Shulun

—I am the dividing line —

At the mountain pass in the Tongbai Mountains, with the renewed gloomy weather, a battle that was slightly trimmed and prepared quickly spread. But as the starter, it was a bullock cart that was hurriedly modified and reinforced after being captured. It's just that Da Niugu, who is pulling the cart, has been blindfolded, and can only follow the direction of the pass at the end of the road under the spur of adjusting the direction.

And with the bullock cart as the front drive and the arrow following them, there are countless figures wearing blue-gray robes and grass-green mud cloaks covering the fields on the side of the road like a wave of dim colors. Although their formation is scattered and unstructured, everyone holds their breath, and in accordance with the rules and disciplines implemented in countless trainings, they work hard to lower the height and movement of their bodies, leaving only large blades of grass and branches. The neat rustle of being allocated and trampled.

At this time, in Su Wu’s tube mirror, the lifeless guard wall is still unheard of. Only a few people stand up when the heart is so dangling, but they are lazy. After walking a few steps, it was replaced with a place where the other side's corpse was spread. At this time, the gloomy sky suddenly heard the faint scream of Donglei, and the moist air was also full of messages that rain was coming.

"This is the heavens to help me, blow the bird whistle, let the brothers rush to the wall quickly, don't worry about making a big move..."

However, Su Wuming was not angry and smiled:

However, while the weird bull cart was undecided at the head of the city, it had already rushed to a distance of twenty or thirty steps away from the gate made of thick planks, but it suddenly changed. Among the grasses and depressions on the roadside, a dozen or so people in ragged clothes suddenly rushed out like a frightened forest bird, but they screamed and fled in all directions.

Although these unexpected people were quickly brought down by the shooters who were approaching with the bullock cart, they were shot down one by one with the iron bow with a small movement. However, the screams made by the last few people who fled to Guancheng still inevitably alarmed the guards on the wall, and began to peek at them.

To make matters worse, the blindfolded big bull also stopped immediately as if he was frightened by these human voices and screams, but no matter how whipped and yelled, he swayed his head and refused to move forward. . At this time, the sergeant who was in charge of driving could only quickly return to cut off the reins and free the bullock cart to leave the road with Niugu shaking his head.

Then a few figures jumped up from the side of the road, turning into a situation of pushing the bullock cart together. However, at this time, they were finally found on the city, and they began to scream one after another. However, Cheng Daniu, the deputy of the driving team, was expressionless while meditating in his heart, "Sunlight Bodhisattva blessed the bad times, the bows and arrows are not close to the key", while exhaling and humming hard to push the bullock cart to accelerate again.

Then you can hear the sizzling sound of arrows flying in the air, and follow the instructions to cover your arms and thighs behind the car body; this way, even if it is inevitable, you will not lose your life immediately, and you will have it in the future. Probability that it is not easy to fall into disability after treatment.

However, he did not hear the muffled sound around him as expected, or the sound of arrows falling on the car plate or wooden wheel. On the contrary, someone on the city head not far away started screaming and screaming, and the blood-sparkling half-breasted body fell on the city plate and the crevice, but it was a good player in the shooting team that followed and began to take the lead. Take a step forward.

And their performance suddenly attracted most of the attention of the defenders on the front of the city. Amid the banging of gongs, more enemies who rushed to grab their bows and arrows also leaned forward, wanting to counterattack and fight back. Strike the enemy; however, in the oncoming mountain breeze that became smoother and smoother, a faintly burning and pungent smell of fireworks was once again sent, as well as the dense lead that flashed slightly.

In an instant, the figures of the defenders, who were leaning out of the battlements, seemed to be swept by the invisible knives of the rice. Suddenly they overturned unevenly and fell down a large area, and the remaining people were left. Even in a panic, he let go of the bowstring and retreated without taking aim. Therefore, after the remaining sparse arrows passed by, most of them fell into the mud without any accuracy.

And the sound of the gurgling wheel is not far away, but it seems like a long time spent living like a year, but it makes Cheng Daniu and the others run in a panic on the top of their heads, amidst the furious clamor, Surprisingly, he rushed into the shallow doorway. Then he lifted the baffle and cover on the ox cart, revealing two short-tube cannons tied side by side.

Listening to the hustle and bustle above his head and feeling the gravel falling down, Cheng Daniu became calmer and calmer at this time; I saw him slowly advancing with the bullock cart and hitting the middle of the thick horizontal board nailed door. Location; the next moment he even vaguely felt the heavy breathing that had been waiting behind the door panel and the fine movement of the knife and soldier.

The next moment, he did not hesitate to pull the lines of fire on the two mountain cannons that had been loaded with double medicine, and then turned and squatted down in a thunderous rush; then he felt like feeling The sound and smoke that suddenly burst from under the doorway pushed him several steps away, and the whole person fell to the ground.

When he got up again and used his hands and feet to turn back into the doorway, there was only a pile of broken wrecks with broken wheels, axles and other things left in the original position of the bullock cart. But at the position directly opposite the rear half of the wooden door, a half-person-high gap was also cracked. And behind the hole, there are corpses lying in a pool of blood spreading across the ground.

Cheng Daniu and others could not help cheering with the greatest strength, and while hurriedly blowing the whistle to "open the passage", they used the back knife and hand axe they carried with them to cut and enlarge the edge of the gap, and shouted and grabbed. The body rushed into it, and the guards who rushed to block the door rushed head-on to fight and fight together.

At this time, most of the soldiers who rushed in also sprinted under the wall with the capstone, unwilling to show weakness, and fired at the wall with all their strength, and swarmed into the open gap again and again. As a result, this raid war has developed to such a stage, obviously there are not too many thoughts and variables that can change the final result.

Because the defenders on the head of the city have begun to shake and fled. And the soldiers in the Taiping Army Mountain Barracks they faced were a tired army from afar; but after years of adequate nutrient intake, all day long physical training and exercise equipment, most of these came from hunters, The soldiers of the mountain people and the miners are better at fighting melee and drowning in tight places than others.

Therefore, after another half an hour, during the thunderous winter thunder earthquake, the denser rainwater also washed away the blood and filth on the top of the Guancheng wall and in the square city behind the wall. Su Wuming let out a big sigh again, and truly dropped a big rock in his heart. Because this heavy rain comes at the right time.

If you come for a while early, it will hinder and delay their preparations for the offensive sign, and make the entire battle process more complicated. But at night, there is no way to conceal the fierce movement of the assault they launched, allowing the enemy to react faster, which has become an uncertain factor for more casualties.

And as he stepped into the city, a director greeted him and reported:

"Kei Youlang, according to rough statistics, there were about 137 casualties, most of whom were in..."

"The two mountain cannons have been recovered and confirmed and can still be used..."

"Neither the flying thunderbolt nor the grenadier were of much use, and the enemy army has already been routed; but the firecracker's medicine has already consumed more than one and a half..."

"The brothers of the left-wing team are searching on the spot for all available supplies and materials..."

Su Wuming stopped suddenly, and said to the place that was still noisy in the distance:

"Why the inside of Guancheng has been cleared out, and the Fangshi after Guancheng is still fighting..."

This man named Director Yu Hou responded without hesitation:

"There are still some local business escorts who have been stagnant, because they refused to be searched by the army and resisted on the spot..."

While he was talking, Su Wuming had already passed through Wushengguan City, which was not very big in structure, and came to the wall facing Guanhoufang City, and saw that his vision suddenly widened and already belonged to the blockbuster within Shenzhou. The wilderness; and among the smoke trails not far away, there is still a messy square city where the sound of fighting is spontaneous.

And under the half-surrounded by those who happened to be free, there was only a small group of people waiting to hide in a wine shop, refusing to do so; due to the rain, the firearms of the Taiping Army were temporarily unusable. There is also no way to carry out a routine fire attack; therefore, these unidentified armed personnel can withstand some cold weapons with knives, guns and clubs for a while.

Among them is a burly ang-zang man wearing studded leather armor, holding a pair of large iron whips, which has been broken, and many spearheads and knife tips have been broken, and the left and right sides have to be forced to approach each other. No, then the next moment he also noticed the general flag erected on the wall, and Yaoyao shouted:

"U, the thief, class dare to fight with me?"

"Are you actually inviting people to fight generals?"

However, Su Wuming and his left and right generals inevitably showed some kind of weird expressions of coveting.

Because in the basic rules of the Taiping Army, there is a prohibition on commanders above the brigade commander, in addition to leading the charge and trapping the enemy, in any situation singled out and duel with the enemy. Because the war itself is a stage for displaying and exerting collective power, individual bravery is just the icing on the cake.

Unexpectedly, there would be another living specimen here that could not be transformed from the past; so the next moment Su Wuming opened his mouth and said:

"Let the hunters in the shooting team release him, but try to catch him alive..."

—I am the dividing line —

And in Jiangling Mansion. After several ups and downs, after a pleasant and somewhat hard night that was indescribable in any language, Zhou Huaian was also content to lie in the soup pond of Zaomu, temporarily relaxing his body and thinking, like a Floating quietly like a real salted fish.

Although this night has been a bit hard, at least whether it is the little fairies who are harassing people, or the enthusiastic and unrestrained goddesses and Raksha girls, or the outer female fairies and goddesses with cold and awe-inspiring appearances, All of them were defeated under the profound Dharma that came from more than a thousand years later, and their muddy souls returned to bliss.

For any male creature, isn't it a thing full of milestone sense of accomplishment and conquest? In this kind of physical and mental satisfaction where every cell is cheering, he also listened to the routine morning report from the outside in a particularly relaxed manner:

"Anzhou signal station has already responded. After a long journey, the third battalion of mountain soldiers led by Su Youlang has arrived at Pingjing Pass (Wusheng Pass) in the north of Tongbai Mountain. Shan Pass. Now many passes in Shenzhou have been opened..."

"Then the Su people went along the Shanbei official road and turned to the Baisha Pass, Muling Pass, and Yinshan Pass in Gwangju...At the same time, Fei Ge sent a letter to request the attacking army in Huang and Qi, pretending to echo... "

Hearing this, Zhou Huaian couldn't help but said:

"Since we have already achieved such a step, why bother to pretend not to attack? The Ezhou and Xuanzhou defense areas in the south of the Yangtze River were ordered to deploy two or three battalions to cross the river to receive defenses; and then let Luzhou's defense areas. Qian Gumei has concentrated his team, go all out to launch a short-term offensive!"

"Because of the government’s full effort to control the epidemic, there are now seventy-four large and small villages in the six prefectures of Jiangbei, and 19 campsites (central villages), all of which have been completed and put into operation ahead of schedule; by the end of the gathering of ten people Fifty-seven thousand, four hundred and sixty-three; there are also more than 35,000 people of various colors..."

Of course, at this time, even if it was not the turn of the handmaidens Ye Yuqing and Jin Yan'er, who were on the night last night, they quietly went down into the pool wearing the soup curtains without any cover; they looked like a mermaid between two waves. When he took turns to dive down to clean up and massage the underwater part for Zhou Huaian, he was also in a state of indifferent great sage.

Until a news, Zhou Huaian, who was slowly turning to Xiao Mei, woke up and became energetic again. But it was a female physician in charge of daily health care at home. Accompanied by the captain of the female guard code-named "Yue Jie", she respectfully stood outside the curtain and reported:

"The Lord is well, the little lady has initially confirmed the matter that was explained last night..." (End of this chapter)
