Infrastructure masters in the red building

"Once this banditry started, it couldn't stop..."

Zhao Siqiang cast this bloody curse on the lobby of Wuyuan County, which seemed to have come true.

Clearing out the Zhao family and Liu family in Wuyuan County only temporarily quelled the internal conflicts in Wuyuan County, but outside Wuyuan City, bandits... are still there.

Even Wuyuan County was not calm: the people asked the county officials to bring Zhao Siqiang, Liu Shilin and others to justice, and declare the canonical punishment; but Master Yuan did not have the authority to lynch and execute criminals, so he could only report to the Ministry of Punishment.But the current writing is not feasible, and the two sides are deadlocked here.

The bandits outside the city showed no signs of retreating.

That day, they climbed up to the top of Wuyuan City along the rope ladder, and all the bandits who rushed into the south gate of the county had their heads displayed to the public, and the heads were hung outside the south gate of the county. For a long time, even the village warriors of Wuyuan County felt terrified. However, the bandits under the city wall were still going back and forth as usual, indifferent.

Every time at this time, the people in Wuyuan County would sigh: These are really bandits, and they have no friendship at all.

But then I thought about it again: This is definitely not a bandit. How could a bandit stick to a besieged city for some illusory benefit?

Then came the bad news.

The [-] troops transferred from the Pingnan Camp to Yong'an Prefecture turned to Wuyuan County to try to break the siege of Wuyuan.These three thousand troops were given high hopes by the people of Wuyuan County.Although the [-] soldiers were not as numerous as the bandits, the opponents were just bandits, and they were official troops.

Unexpectedly, the [-] troops lost to the [-] bandits under Wuyuan City, and they were defeated for thousands of miles. They fled back to Ping'an Prefecture and rushed to Pingnan Camp.

From then on, the village warriors in Wuyuan County watched bandits proudly carrying all kinds of weapons left behind by the officers and soldiers under the city walls. , made that extremely useless state, dodged left and right, and was finally "killed" by his bandit companions.

The people of Wuyuan County are very angry every day, but they can only look at the ocean and sigh - it's the same for them, and now they only rely on the protection of the strong city wall of Wuyuan County, and they dare not even go out of the city.

Food in the city is also rapidly decreasing.The 7 shi of grain copied from the Zhao family was not much to the [-] people in the county.Now the county is forced to limit food rations. Except for Xiangyong who has to go to the city to defend the city, everyone else, including the county venerable Yuan Hua and Xia Xuezheng who is resident in the Jiedu Shifu, have their daily rations halved.Women and children lost even more.

For a while, everyone in Wuyuan County was pale and emaciated, and their spirits were low, and they didn't even have the energy to say hello.

At this time, someone finally missed Jia Fang: "Why is Master Jiedushi not in the city!"

"Yes, I heard that he took two thousand soldiers from Taoyuan Village and killed all the bandits outside. Tell me, this Mr. Jia looks so young, what kind of ability does he have to carry so many people?" Bandits?"

"I know, I know, that Mr. Jia is capable of supernatural powers."

"Don't talk nonsense..."

"It's true. Many people in Taoyuan Village know about it. They say that Mr. Jia has the help of gods and is absolutely extraordinary. Otherwise, why have Taoyuan Village changed so much in the past two years that we can't even recognize it?"

"This time he led people to kill the bandits, because he got the help of the gods."

"Who did you hear?"

"I heard from the captured bandits that they turned around and surrounded Wu Yuan because they couldn't take down Taoyuan Village."

Immediately several people became depressed: "Master Jia, why do you want to go back to Taoyuan Village!"

But the fact is that Jia Fang also wanted to break the siege of Wuyuan, and also wanted to transport grain to Wuyuan County, but he couldn’t——

The wooden rails were burned, making it more difficult to transport grain, and any road leading to Wuyuan County was blocked by bandits.

Every time Jia Fang wanted to take action against Wu Yuan, the bandits under Wu Yuan City would turn around and harass Taoyuan Village again—but the result of the harassment was often that the bandits discovered the various defenses of Taoyuan Village The facilities have been strengthened by several points, the protective wall has been raised by another ten feet, arrow stacks have been repaired on the wall, and various patterns of smoke bombs have emerged one after another.

But Jia Fang also had no way to rescue Wuyuan County—for a while, both parties felt infinite frustration, plus the people in Wuyuan County, the three parties were depressed, and it was a "three loses" situation.

Ten or so days later, Wuyuan County was ignited with an emergency smoke.According to Jia Fang's judgment, it should be that the city is close to running out of food and people's hearts are floating.Yuan Hua, the county magistrate, asked for help from outside in order to calm people's hearts, hoping to temporarily stabilize the emotions of the people in the city, and at the same time looking forward to the arrival of outside reinforcements as soon as possible.

If this situation continues, there will be only one result, that is, Wuyuan County will open the city gate to break through.The bandits had waited for so long because they were waiting for the opportunity of Wuyuan County to open the city gate again.

Naturally, Jia Fang couldn't just sit back and watch Wu Yuan's affairs.For him, Wuyuan County is not just as simple as the government office being located in it, he hopes that all the changes in the south will start from Wuyuan.The official career of Yuan Hua, the county magistrate, is also linked to his political life-although Jia Fang does not play politics, he knows this very well.

Yuan Hua is finished, and everything he promotes and tries in the south is also finished.

Therefore, Jia Fang strictly ordered the Pingnan camp to immediately transfer another [-] soldiers to Wuyuan.He asked the other party not to rush forward, first choose the vicinity of Wuyuan County, and set up camp.

Coincidentally at this time, Nan Yongqian broke out from Wuyuan County with several backbones of Dicui Pavilion, rushed to Taoyuan Village, and joined Jia Fang.After discussing with each other, the two decided to take over the [-] soldiers from the Pingnan Camp, and then tried to attack the Xiangyong in Wuyuan County inside and outside, and defeated the bandits who had been harassing for many days under Wuyuan City in one fell swoop.

So Jia Fang left Taoyuan Village with seven or eight people, including Nan Yongqian, Jia Yi and Bingding, and two outstanding hunters.The backbone of other Taoyuan villages, such as Zhao Wuguang and others, all stayed in the village.

When Jia Fang led his men past the camp where the bandits had set up indiscriminately, most of the bandits howled indiscriminately, waved their weapons, and just sat and watched Jia Fang and the others pass.It seems that they only care about Wu Yuan, and they don't care about the rest.

Jia Fang quickly copied to the back of the bandits and joined up with the new three thousand soldiers from the Pingnan camp.

As soon as they saw Jia Fang, the generals of the Pingnan Camp first cried with Jia Fang about the food and pay, saying that the governor of Yong'an Prefecture did not cooperate and did not provide enough food and grass. The food and grass carried by the soldiers can only last for three days.

"Isn't three days enough for you to expel the bandits who surrounded Wu Yuan?" Jia Fang asked coldly.He knew that last time the soldiers from the Pingnan Camp who came to rescue Wu Yuan were defeated in one blow, but more than 2000 people survived and joined the 3000 people in front of them.

"Responding to my lord, these bandits...are really not ordinary bandits, they are actually private soldiers raised by others..." The general looked embarrassed.After all, he has the same number of opponents, if he wants to say that he can't beat him, he can only flatter the opponent.

But Jia Fang interrupted him, and asked instead: "Where is your lieutenant general?"

He turned to the lieutenant general, looked at him and said indifferently: "If you have the courage to lead your soldiers to defeat the bandits surrounding Wuyuan County within three days, you will take the position of your superior."

The general looked at Jia Fang in surprise, and said: "I... I heard that Mr. Jia is only controlling the Pingnan camp..."

Temperance actually means that there is no actual jurisdiction. The promotion and demotion of the generals in the Pingnan Camp can only be decided by the generals of the Pingnan Camp.Jia Fang can only... affect the impact.

Unexpectedly, Jia Fang lost his temper at this time, and he said furiously: "I am restraining the Pingnan camp. Before my life was almost gone, I didn't see your Pingnan camp farting. Now you dare to push three times and dare not use troops. I dare to use your lieutenant general. Let your chief general of Pingnan Daying come to me and tell me if I am acting as a substitute for you!"

Jia Fang never scolded people like this, and what he is doing now is indeed because he held back too hard some time ago.Furthermore, having spent a relatively long time with those rough men under his command, he naturally acquired some rough style when speaking.

But maybe Jia Fangsheng was too handsome and too young.So much so that the demeanor he acquired recently was very unsuitable for him. For a while, Nan Yongqian behind Jia Fang couldn't stop laughing, and Jia Yi and Bingding, who had been inseparable since they left Taoyuan Village, couldn't help but smile. you.

The generals of the Pingnan Camp were embarrassed and frightened, but the lieutenant beside him stood up and said, "Lord Jia, the last general is willing to go."

As the saying goes, there must be a brave man under a great reward. Jia Fang conferred the rank of general and school, but if the deputy general has the slightest ambition, he will not sit idly by and miss this opportunity.

"Very good, you go to prepare first. I will see the people in Wuyuan County see the light of day again within three days."

The deputy general immediately bowed respectfully to Jia Fang, and hurried down to order the whole battalion to break the siege of Wu Yuan within three days.

The deadline was certain, and the entire barracks moved immediately. Those generals were not all idiots, and the battle plan was immediately finalized.After resting for a day and a night, the officers and soldiers immediately attacked the bandits outside Wuning City.The whole plan was written on white silk and shot into the city of Wuyuan by Mingdi. Presumably the city will arrange Xiangyong to cooperate.

The plan is very thorough and the wish is very good, but standing in front of bandits is not the same thing at all.

In the early morning of this day, the officers and soldiers lined up in front of the temporary tents and waited for them.Jia Fang, together with the general who had been deprived of command, held up behind.

Jia Fang rode on a tall horse, condescending to see the situation outside Wuyuan County clearly - he was not surprised to see bandits lazily getting up from the simple camp, holding soldiers in their hands. Blade, even began to form formation.

Everyone loves money, but everyone cherishes life—these bandits in front of Wuning County interpreted this point extremely accurately.For the promise of "grabbing for three days" made by their superiors, they have persevered in the outskirts of Wuyuan County for so long; A team of ten people, including archers, shield holders, and sword wielders, looked formidable.

"Master Jia, look at this bandit, the equipment in his hands is better than that of the army..." The general stood behind Jia Fang, and said with an unusual resentment.

"In the Pingnan camp, instead of self-examination, you guys have brought them up in front of this official to talk about them? Isn't this official only the right to control? It's already at this time, and instead point to this official to help you solve problems? ..."

I don't know why, when Jia Fang saw this general, there was no fire in his heart, as long as the other party opened his mouth, he wanted to spray.

The general was ashamed by Jia Fang's spray, and took a step back with his horse speechless, thinking: Master Jiedu is in a bad mood, so don't talk about it anymore.

And Jia Fang's mood is indeed extremely bad.In front of them, the officers and bandits were in hand-to-hand combat. The officers and soldiers formed a large formation and advanced slowly, while the bandits moved [-] at a time and [-] in groups, moving extremely quickly and flexibly.In addition, at this moment, the bandits knew that if they didn't fight, there was really no possibility of surviving, so they all used their lives and fought extremely fiercely.The formation of the officers and soldiers was broken up by bandits.

Jia Fang's complexion was very ugly, but this time the general behind him finally dared not speak again, even if he was killed, he would not dare to touch Jia Fang's bad luck.

At last, the lieutenant-general who led the army was very calm at this moment, and the flags and instructions were issued frequently. The front of the commander's army spread out to the two wings, and the rear line protruded, stabilizing the position and temporarily blocking the trend of the bandits' assault.The two sides immediately became an unbeatable situation.

At this time, Jia Fang noticed a dense forest on one side of the battlefield.This dense forest is located in the west of Wuyuan County. It is dark black and extremely dense with evergreen trees. There have never been many people.

But today, for some unknown reason, Jia Fang suddenly felt a kind of inexplicable fear, which made him feel extremely uneasy for a moment - what is in the woods?

"My lord!" Jia Yi also spoke. This old personal bodyguard, like Jia Fang, directly felt a strong killing intent.

Unable to wait any longer, Jia Fang turned around and ordered: "Send spies to explore that secret..."

Before he could say the word "forest", the dense forest over there suddenly moved——

To be exact, in this deep black and dense forest, two hundred black horses suddenly started and rushed out at the same time. The knights on the horses were all black-clothed and armored, forming a dense black cavalry formation, galloping together from the forest Even the sound of the four hooves hitting the ground is uniform.

This uniform sound seemed to be hitting people's hearts directly. Whether it was the officers and soldiers or the bandits, both sides paused at the same time, and for a moment they forgot that they were fighting each other to death.The two sides who were fighting suddenly saw another opponent who was much stronger than either side. Both sides were stunned for a short time, and there was only one thought in their hearts——

Don't come at me!

This thought flashed only in the blink of an eye.The two hundred riders had already rushed to the front of the formation, and their sharp blades came out, and they swung at the bandits who were waved by dozens of people, like chopping melons and vegetables.

The cavalry ran extremely fast, almost in the blink of an eye, they had already crossed a large open area outside Wuyuan County.Where the iron cavalry passed by, the simple tents set up by the bandits instantly disappeared; where the blades went, all that remained were stumps and broken arms. These bandits had no resistance against the hundred cavalrymen. .

They turned around and wanted to escape, but they couldn't escape at all. Before they had taken a few steps, the black cavalry had already charged back from the opposite side, and the bandits were greeted with another round of blood cleansing.

The officers and soldiers of the Pingnan Camp, seeing the scene in front of them, were all stunned in place, and then fell into a mixed emotion of fear and luck. Intent and killing intent are not aimed at oneself.

"Dimensionality reduction strike, dimensionality reduction strike!" Jia Fang couldn't help admiring the peak riding and killing technique of the cold weapon era.

The speed and impact of the cavalry were incomparable on the open ground outside Wuyuan County, while the knights were commanding and slashing with their sharp weapons, making the opponents on the ground irresistible.

What's more, the southern horses are thin and small, and cavalry is extremely rare.These bandits in front of Wuyuan County probably have never seen cavalry in their entire lives.

No wonder that before the advent of firearms, nomads on the grasslands were able to rely on this tactic to kill the Quartet, with few opponents.

He had to admit that thanks to the fact that the two hundred riders were going for the Bandits, not him, otherwise it was really a matter of two whether he would be able to keep this little life today.

Unexpectedly, at this time, among the group of cavalry, a cavalry stood out and rushed towards Jia Fang.

The rider in black was about to come before Jia Fang, and then suddenly reined in his horse.His hands were so strong that when he strangled them, the horses under his command came to an abrupt stop.At this time, the opponent was only a few steps away from Jia Fang's mount.

The black-clothed rider looked at Jia Fang, sized him up coldly, and said in a cold voice, "Sure enough, there is a raging army, and a raging army. There are only a few bandits in the area, and the Pingnan camp is in such a mess."

Jia Fang: ...Hey, did you get the wrong partner?
