Qiming 1158

Chapter 151 Ugu's Doomsday
Wugu Lunzig marched faster with his cavalry.

After a day and a half of their journey, they arrived at the forage camp at the foot of Peiwei Mountain. Nothing unusual was found here, but there were many other strange things.

"You mean, the military supplies that should have arrived two days ago have not arrived today?"

Wu Gu Lun Zige looked at Chu Qi, the military transport officer.

Chu Qi vomited bitterly.

"Yes, the things that should have been in place two days ago have not arrived today, and there is no advance notice for two days, which is very strange, and the knights have never returned to the direction of Surabaya. The battalion is running out of food for transportation.”

Wu Gu Lunjige thought for a while, and felt that something was wrong. He asked the army to be more vigilant, and went all the way along the food route. It took a long time to reach the county seat of Sishui, and no abnormality was found.

The county magistrate of Sishui also said that the food route was safe, and he didn't find any problems. He just didn't see the food coming. If there was a problem, it might be a problem in Qufu. He advised Wugu Lunjige to be careful.

Wugu Lunjige was worried, but it was getting late, so he settled the army in the barracks outside the city under the arrangement of the Sishui county magistrate. .

After two days on the road, I was exhausted and needed a rest.

They slept soundly this time.

But danger is creeping towards them.

The intelligence unit of the Shengjie Army, which had already detected the situation, reported the news to Su Yonglin, who was leading the army at a rapid pace. After Su Yonglin learned about it, he immediately made a night attack plan.

In the early morning of the next day, when the watchman sounded the gongs and drums of the fifth watch, and a new day was about to begin, the cavalry barracks was suddenly attacked.

There was fire everywhere in the barracks, and there were endless shouts of killing from all sides. The Golden Army cavalry suddenly woke up from their sleep, terrified, and rushed to flee. There was no concept of counterattack on the spot, and they just wanted to quickly escape from this terrifying purgatory that was on fire everywhere.

A large number of cavalry from nowhere rushed into the camp to set fire and kill, and the scene was extremely chaotic.

Wugu Lunzig initially tried to resist, but he resisted more fiercely. He fought against the attacker's cavalry, but most of the soldiers lost their will to fight and just wanted to escape. He couldn't contain it, and he couldn't organize it. In a panic, he had to take people to escape.

But this time his luck was too bad, probably because the previous luck had run out, and now it was time to repay the debt.

When he was escaping, the warhorse under his crotch tripped over the debris on the ground. He fell to the ground with his horse and his horse, broke his neck, and died on the spot.

The neighing of war horses and the screams of people were endless, and the noise was so loud that people in Sishui County could see it.

The chief of the city gate officer saw the thick smoke and fire on the city, and was so frightened that he did not dare to open the city gate, and immediately informed the county magistrate of the news.

When the county magistrate heard this, he was so frightened that he hurriedly climbed up the tower before he put on his clothes. When he saw the smoke billowing from the direction of the cavalry barracks, he immediately yelled out.

"Do not open the gates! Pull up the drawbridge! Close the gates on all sides! Close the gates!"

He was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he immediately closed the doors on all sides, built a suspension bridge, and never allowed anyone to leave or enter the city.

"Immediately assemble the army of food-shooters and officers in the city to arm, and gather at the head of the city! Hurry up! Hurry up!"

"Here!"

After the arrangement was completed, the magistrate quickly went down to the city tower and went back to arrange other things. He was very panicked. All he could think of right now was to keep the city from being breached, and nothing else could be thought of.

It was not until the sky was bright that someone reported that an army under a banner was approaching the Sishui county seat, and the county magistrate hurried up the city tower with the armor he had just put on.

As soon as he climbed the city, the magistrate of Sishui was not shocked.

A large army of black pressure is approaching the county seat. He has watched the army drills many times. The number is no less than [-], and the army is complete. All of them are cavalry, there are many horses, and the army is strong.

Sishui County's city towers are low and dilapidated, and there are very few defending troops. It is impossible to defend. If a fight is really going to happen, even if the opponent does not have any professional siege equipment, Sishui County will last at most for one morning, and it will be broken.

However, the army did not seem to have any intention of attacking the city. It circled Sishui County for a week, as if it was just for deterrence, shot a letter into the city and hurried to the east.

The county magistrate took the letter from a soldier, unfolded it, and was very surprised.

This is a letter written to him by the General of the Restoration Army named Su Yonglin, saying that he still has military affairs and will not attack the city, but looking at the appearance of Sishui County, it really can't stand any damage.

He sympathized with the lives of the people in the city, so he never attacked the city. He hoped that the county magistrate would do it on his own. When the main force of the army arrived later, he would take the initiative to open the city and surrender. As long as he showed this letter, he would not have any danger to his life. preservation.

"This is the vanguard of the thief army, and there are still main forces that have not yet arrived."

The magistrate wiped the sweat from his forehead, his voice trembling.

"Then, Mingfu, what should we do? Ask for help?"

The magistrate next to the magistrate looked at the magistrate nervously.

"Ask for help? Where to ask for help? The army of the commander-in-chief? Didn't you see that the vanguard of the bandit army had wiped out all the cavalry outside the city? There is an army behind, that is to say..."

The county lieutenant's eyes widened, a look of horror on his face.

"The army of the commander-in-chief is already alone, and the food supply is cut off?"

"Yes."

The county magistrate put away the letter, took a breath, narrowed his eyes and said, "Soon, the whole of Shandong will be a bandit army... No, the Restoration Army will be in the world."

"So, we?"

"Do you want to hold on until the emperor's army goes south to seek thieves?"

The magistrate glanced at the magistrate.

The county captain thought for a while, then looked at the low and dilapidated city walls of Sishui County, swallowed and shook his head.

"I definitely won't be able to hold on to it, and I don't dare, but... if the bandit army is to be surrendered, if the emperor's army comes in the future, the bandit army is defeated, and Shandong is restored, then we will still die?"

The county magistrate nodded slowly and thought about it seriously.

"I'm not a local, and you are not a local, but the plan is the best plan!"

The county lieutenant's eyes lit up, feeling that this was a good idea.

Of course, leaving the office without permission is a sin, but it is better than surrendering and being a traitor to the emperor, and then being liquidated by the emperor.

When today Zi did not dare to say anything else, killing someone was absolutely true to their word, never ambiguous. For officials, this was definitely the most terrifying.

They don't dare to be sloppy on this kind of thing.

Just go.

Su Yonglin led the army to march east for about an hour. The west gate of Sishui County opened, and a group of chariots quickly headed west, leaving behind a city of locals who were inseparable from their homeland and looked at each other.

They tried their best to persuade them, but they couldn't persuade the cowards to leave. With their departure, the relevant forces of the Jin Kingdom in the city fled and hid, and actually gave up the rule of Sishui County directly.

Everyone in the city, look at me, and I look at you. In desperation, they elected a temporary counselor, an old man in the city surnamed Yang.

The Yang family is a local surname, has a wide range of influence, and is the largest local snake in the local area, so the gentry in a city felt that Yang You, the head of the Yang family, should be temporarily in charge.

Yang You, who was in his 60s, took a group of people out of the city to watch the situation where the cavalry barracks were located, and he couldn't help being horrified.

Several hills of corpses were still burning, both human and horse.

The entire barracks was also burning, exuding a strange smell to the surroundings.

Many people who were irritated by the stench mixed with the smell of blood were nauseous, and many timid people were frightened and fainted when they saw it.

The Golden Army cavalry stationed here has no one alive, maybe there is, but they haven't found it.

Yang You has lived for more than 60 years, and he is well-informed and experienced. Seeing such a scene, he couldn't help but feel anxious.

He was deeply terrified, knowing that if the army just now really wanted to attack the city, the weak defense of Sishui County would definitely not last all morning, and once the opponent made up his mind to do something, the situation in the county could be imagined.

And that army did not attack the city, but gave them advice to let them do their own thing.

The weight of this advice is now well understood.

A group of people looked left and right, and in their panic, they all came to the most appropriate decision in their own best interests.

At the same time, Chu Qi, the transfer officer who was stationed in the forage camp in Peiwei Mountain, was facing the third emissary knight within an hour.

While he was busy with food transportation, he also had to deal with the messenger knights. He was so troubled that he almost collapsed.
