Chapter 65
It's night, outside Jianchang City.

Zhang Wu led the hundred elite soldiers assigned to him by Wei Yan, and rushed towards him, yelled twice outside the city, and the gate of the city opened quietly.

100 people entered Jianchang with ease, and [-] county soldiers in the city were already ready, and they followed Zhang Wu to the Taishici army camp.

When I was young, the flames in Jianchang city were soaring to the sky, the shouts of killing could be heard endlessly, and it became a mess.

"Catch the thief general Tai Shici."

"Don't leave, Tai Shici."

Tai Shici was awakened in the middle of the night, before he could put on his armor and helmets, the rebel army had already broken through the camp, two thousand soldiers and horses were chaotic, and there was no formation.

The camp has been lost, and in the dark night, I don't know how many enemy troops there are, but I can only vaguely see the armor of Changsha soldiers, so how dare they continue to stay in Jianchang City.

"Follow this general and go out of the city."

Following Tai Shici's roar, the chaotic soldiers of Yuzhang County followed quickly and broke through the east gate.

When Tai Shici had just escaped from Jianchang City with his troops, the ambushes outside the east gate came out again, killing him by surprise, and his soldiers threw away their helmets and armor, and some fled and scattered.

In less than half an hour, Jianchang City was wiped out, and those Yuzhang County soldiers who could not escape surrendered one after another. Wei Yan took Jianchang City lightly without a single soldier, so he was naturally very happy.

Wei Yan waited in the barracks for most of the night, but he didn't see Tai Shici coming to sneak attack, but he really smashed Jianchang City in one fell swoop.

Naturally, he was extremely happy, and now Wei Yan led two thousand soldiers of the Chinese army to Jianchang, rewarded everyone, praised Zhang Wuda, and appointed him as the county magistrate of Jianchang to appease the people.

Jianchang is a large county with a population of nearly [-] people and a lot of food. After Wei Yan takes Jianchang City, it will become even stronger.

The next day.

Wei Yan opened the hall to discuss matters, and Zhang Wu went up to remonstrate: "General, now that Jianchang has fallen, and Tai Shici is fleeing, you can send troops deep and cut grass and roots."

Wang Le, the lieutenant of the right department, replied: "No, go up and attack the city, and go down to attack the city. Now our army has just occupied Jianchang, and the people's hearts are unstable, so don't be careless."

Wei Yan already had his own wishful thinking in mind, and at this time he went deep into it rashly. Once Tai Shici was pushed into a hurry, it would harm others and not benefit himself. He must know how to relax and rely on Jianchang, which is enough to resist the entire Yuzhang County.

Wei Yanyan said: "Now we can't go too deep, we just need to send an army to follow Tai Shici behind, let him stand unsteadily, approach layer by layer, let others be exhausted, then we will naturally reap the benefits."

"The general is wise."

Zhang Wu responded immediately, and volunteered: "The last general has just arrived, and he is willing to be the vanguard, leading troops out of the city, and chasing down the bandits."

Seeing Zhang Wuyi's sincere expression made Wei Yan extremely gratified, a child can be taught.

Wei Yan nodded and said: "Okay, Zhang Wu listened to the order, led the county soldiers of the headquarters, and the newly surrendered Yuzhang County soldiers and horses with 1000 people, went out of the city to pursue Tai Shici, remember, you only need to disturb the enemy, you can't fight with strength."

Zhang Wu replied loudly: "The last general takes orders."

And just two hundred miles away at the prefect's mansion in Linxiang City, Changsha County, an urgent battle report was sent to his desk. Just last night, Chaling County in Changsha County fell, and Jiangdong Huchen Xiang Ba led 5000 troops. , suddenly and silently killed, and all officials of Chaling County, big and small, were executed.

Just when Han Xuan, the prefect of Changsha, was restless, another small official came in a hurry and said deeply: "Lord prefect, Xiajun County Prime Minister sent someone to report that the situation near the county is suspicious recently, and there seems to be a large number of water thieves infested , there are already thousands of people.”

"Water thief?"

Han Xuan frowned in displeasure, and continued: "Now that the enemy is at hand, how can the prefect have the time to take care of these crap things?"

"Uh……"

The little official was suffocated when he heard the words, and after a while, he suggested in a low voice: "Since that's the case, I'd like to ask the prefect to send a team of officers and soldiers to hand over the thieves, lest there will be changes later."

"Send troops to arrest the thieves?"

Han Xuan said coldly: "No, no, the prefect has no troops to send now, we will discuss this matter later, go and summon Wei Yan to lead the army back to assist Changsha County."

The little official said anxiously: "But..."

Han Xuan scolded: "Go and do it quickly, Chaling has been lost, if the bandits go deep, can you afford it?"

The little official had no choice but to cup his hands and said, "So, the humble official will retire first."

"Report..."

The little official had just exited the hall, when another little school stepped in, knelt down on one knee, cupped his fists and said loudly, "Master Taishou, the Jiangdong thief general Xiang Ba has come to Linxiang, only eighty miles away."

"what?"

Han Xuan suddenly got up, and asked sharply: "You mean that Xiang Ba has already entered Linxiang for eighty miles?"

Han Xuan tried his best to hold back the panic in his heart, and asked in a deep voice: "How many soldiers and horses are there?"

The small school lowered its head and replied, "There are 5000 people."

"What? 5000 people! What should I do..."

Han Xuan paused and said anxiously: "Immediately send a message to the counties and send troops to rescue Linxiang."

"As ordered."

The northern suburb of Xiajun County.

Taking advantage of the cover of darkness, a group of black troops suddenly drove out from the dense forest and rushed towards Xiajun County.

A night thief had just stolen two fat chickens from the village, but when he saw this strange scene, he was so frightened that he bent down and retreated into the grass by the roadside.

When I was looking around, I only heard a "swoosh", and a sharp mace arrow shot out from the darkness, piercing the night thief's throat coldly.

Xiajun County, the county magistrate's mansion.

It was already the dead of night, but the county magistrate was completely sleepless at this time. Now there are thousands of bandits outside the city, how can he feel at ease, he is nervously waiting for the prefect Han Xuan's reply!
Suddenly hearing the sound of killing outside the north gate, the county magistrate was startled, and rushed out to look outside, but saw that the direction of the north gate was full of flames, and half of the sky was already red.

Amidst the chaotic footsteps, a group of soldiers rushed into the backyard.

The county magistrate hurriedly asked: "What's going on?"

The captain of the personal army said: "My lord, someone in the city secretly communicated with the water thieves to loot the whole city, and now the thieves have already entered the north gate!"

"It's really a water thief?"

The county magistrate shouted: "Send an order to let the county barracks stationed in the camp in the north of the city rush to suppress immediately."

An hour passed, but the din and shouts in the north of the city not only did not subside, but intensified, the county magistrate couldn't help panicking, raised his head and shouted, "Come on."

Two personal soldiers stepped in, clasped their hands together and said, "My lord."

The county magistrate opened his hands and said sharply: "Go get the armor, change the clothes and put on the armor for my lord!"

The soldiers did not dare to be negligent, and hurried forward to change clothes and armor for the county magistrate. The county magistrate had just put on his clothes when he suddenly saw a junior schoolman who was covered in blood and broke into the hall with a distressed expression. The thieves are very difficult, and the brothers who were sent to suppress suffered a great loss."

"what?"

The county magistrate felt that something was wrong, and forced himself to shout, "You group of winebags and rice bags, the officers and soldiers of the hall are still no match for a group of water thieves? What are you doing for food?"

"My lord, these water thieves are different from ordinary water thieves."

The small principal said anxiously, "This group of water bandits is not only well-equipped, but also has elite spearmen and longbowmen. They are well versed in the art of war. Although there are only 500 to [-] people, they can advance and retreat with ease, and they can attack and defend freely. It can be called training." You Su, the villain has never seen such a powerful water thief."

"Nonsense, what kind of marching formation does a group of water thieves know? If you lose, you lose. Why do you have to make excuses for yourself? Isn't it shameful enough?"

The county magistrate shouted, "Go, and send another [-] soldiers from the camp in the south of the city. This time, my lord will go out in person. Hmph, a bunch of trash, they can't handle even such a trivial matter."

The little school didn't dare to argue any more, so he had to leave in despair.
