Chapter 519
In the afternoon of that day, at Wutong City Gate.
There are guards standing on both sides.
There were old notices on one side.
There were not many people entering and leaving the city gate, only a few people.
Xu Hu and Peng Shuang were wearing thick clothes and linen, mixed in it.
"What are you doing!" Coincidentally, no soldier was looking for anyone, but he stopped Xu Hu.
"Whatever you do, of course I'm going home." Xu Hu replied angrily.
"Hey, boy, you look very good. You are not a local, right?" the soldier raised his eyebrows.
"So what, so what, so what, no, start!"
As soon as Xu Hu finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and pushed the soldier away.
As he staggered, the soldier fell to the ground and got up and was furious:
"The unruly people are bold!"
After shouting angrily, he immediately held a long halberd in his hand and made a gesture to step forward and take Xu Hu down.
But the latter had already taken advantage of this to approach the city gate. When he saw the soldiers rushing towards him, he immediately punched and slammed down.
Xu Hu had such a divine power. This punch was fast and fierce. The soldiers had no time to react. They were directly knocked to the ground and smashed into slight dust. There was no movement on the spot.
Ah!? Seeing this, the other three soldiers were shocked. They immediately had long spears and wanted to siege up, and shouted loudly:
"Come! Come on--"
But before they could move, Peng Shuang quickly took action, and shot his left and right, and solved everything.
Seeing this, some people nearby screamed and fled in scattered.
The four guards fell on both sides. The story was long, but in fact they only happened in a moment.
After dealing with the four, Xu Hu and Peng Shuang raised a long spear, rushed directly into the city, and began to guard the city gate.
I thought there would be a fierce battle next, but I didn't expect that Wutong City would have no defense at all.
There were only more than a dozen soldiers standing guard on the city tower. After hearing the movement, they were not the opponents of the two generals.
Several corpses fell down on the ground soon. Seeing the two brave, the others threw away their weapons, and turned around and ran away.
"Stop chasing, the city gate is important." Peng Shuang called out Xu Hu.
The reason why Wutong is like this is because the focus of Liang Kingdom is all on Yanzhou, and it is believed that Wutong in the rear is very safe.
The baggage troops in the city are preparing the next batch of food and grass for the front line.
This is a classic surprise attack on the back.
Although Xiao Yuan could not see the situation here, he could estimate the time, so he led a large army to arrive not long after.
Until this time, the city had not received a full warning, which shows how relaxed the city's defense was.
After the army rushed into the city, it caused screams from countless people, and the crowd fled in panic. Some ran home with doors and windows closed, and some ran towards the inner city. The scene was in chaos.
Xiao Yuan ignored these things and ordered directly:
"Zhao Mu, immediately put Wutong in full defense."
"Wei Qing, take our troops and quickly find the Liang army's baggage unit."
"Other soldiers, follow me to the county government!"
Under his military order, the Qin army immediately took action.
A large number of soldiers were divided into two rows, starting in the streets of the city, running and moving forward.
The sound of infantry running and friction with armor filled the audience.
The terror and screams in the city have never stopped. Many people are still wandering around the streets, and some people are also coming out to buy items. When they see this sudden army, the result can be imagined.
After someone screamed, he didn't care about the things in his hand and threw them away and ran away.
The ground was in a mess, and the street market that was a little bustling just now became empty in an instant.
The Qin army soldiers ignored these and acted directly according to Xiao Yuan's orders.
The up and down move together and soon occupied the entire Wutong.
Half an hour later, Wutong County Government.
Xiao Yuan followed a large number of generals and walked into the hall.
After looking around for a week, his eyes also set on the cases directly above.
It was the usual place of the county magistrate. At this time, the few cases were shaking slightly for some reason.
"Come out." Xiao Yuan said slightly and ruthlessly.
There was no response, but the cases were shaking even more.
Seeing this, Xiao Yuan almost got angry and laughed: "If you don't come out again, you really won't be able to survive."
"Ah? Give me your life, spare my life--"
At this moment, the county magistrate did not dare to hide anymore. After crawling out from the desk, he even knelt on the ground with a thud, saying with tears in his mouth: "There are old people above and young people above..."
"Okay!" Xiao Yuan interrupted him and said impatiently: "Ask you some of the situation of Wutong. To be honest, you can survive, otherwise you will be ruthless under the knife!"
"Yes, yes... Your Highness just asks, and the villain tells everything." The county magistrate dared not hesitate, and knelt there and responded repeatedly.
Xiao Yuan was straightforward: "Are there any other troops stationed near Wutong?"
"No, no, the main army is all in Yanzhou." The county magistrate returned in a hurry.
"What about the baggage troops? How powerful are their combat power?" Xiao Yuan asked again.
"More...more are for the people, and only responsible for transporting food and grass."
"Where is now!"
"Preparation is being completed and will be transported to Yanzhou..."
At this point in the conversation, Xiao Yuan had already grasped the general situation. At this moment, Wei Qing also walked in quickly and clasped his fists and said, "King, you have found the Liang army's supplies. Those who are responsible for escorting are all civilians. When they see our army, they all scattered and all the supplies are confiscated."
"Yeah." Xiao Yuan nodded: "Where are their grain transport officers?"
"The king later." Wei Qing said, then raised his hand sideways and said, "Bring it in!"
Following his words, two Qin soldiers immediately took a middle-aged civil servant in.
"When I see my king, I won't kneel down!" Someone shouted.
The civil servant shivered in fear, and hurriedly knelt down and said in a trembling voice: "Your Highness, please spare your life..."
"Don't worry, I'm willing to cooperate, I will never kill you."
"Yes, yes..." The civil servant responded repeatedly, and at the same time he couldn't help but lift the sleeves of his official clothes and wiped his forehead with cold sweat.
Xiao Yuan stared at him: "How is the food and grass in Yanzhou?"
"Based on time, the last batch of food and grass transported in custody is still...available for two months."
"Is there so many?" Xiao Yuan frowned. He thought that Wutong was already preparing for the next batch of food and grass. Yanzhou should have shortage of food.
The grain official explained: "Quanyin, Quanyin General Xue Wu said he wanted to store grain in Yanzhou."
"In this way, he is preparing to stick to Yanzhou for a long time."
Hearing this, the grain official looked at Xiao Yuan carefully: "Yes...yes..."
After learning about this, Xiao Yuan no longer asked more questions, but waved his hand and asked the soldiers to take the county magistrate and grain officials down.
Then he frowned.
Seeing this, Xu Hu shouted tentatively: "King."
