Don't panic, the family boss is busy farming

Chapter 350 Extremely Insulting

There was no other way, Zhao Yuanji and others could only continue to look for the next campsite.

However, about fifteen miles after leaving the small village, the road surface began to change.

The loess was truncated in front of everyone, and replaced by a gray-white, straight and wide avenue!

The large army stopped in front of the road in surprise. At this moment, the sky was completely dark, and the fear of unknown things made them dare not move forward.

The general was surprised and guessed: "Could this be the cement road that Liu Duwei said?"

Zhao Yuanji rode forward and came to the wide concrete road with a dignified expression.

The general was shocked and said: "This place is thirty miles away from Yuyang County. I didn't expect that they have paved the road so far in half a year."

"The road is wide and flat. If Xu's army came here on horseback, it would take less than half an hour from the county town to face our army head-on!"

Speaking of this, General Shen panicked inexplicably, and hurriedly circled around, looking at the dark night around him, always feeling like he was being watched by someone.

The general raised his hand, in exchange for a few spies, and waved his hand to signal them to investigate the surrounding area to avoid encountering an ambush by the enemy.

When the spies set off and came back to report that there was no trace of Xu Jiajun around, the anxiety in the general's heart still failed to dissipate.

However, the road in front of me can no longer be walked tonight.

"Your Majesty, there is a river here, why don't you just camp here for one night, recharge your energy tomorrow morning, and attack Yuyang County in one fell swoop!" the general suggested.

Zhao Yuanji looked at the cement road in front of him in the darkness, and nodded.

"Strengthen your guard tonight. I always feel that this road just stops here, which is not right." Zhao Yuanji warned.

The general nods his head, no need for the emperor to say, he will do the same.

It is too close to Yuyang County, and there is such a straight concrete road leading to the county, Xu Jiajun is likely to sneak attack at night.

As for the road ahead, the Xu family army must have changed it when it was built. It is no longer the original road. Once the Xu family army appears, they will chase and go, and they are very likely to be ambushed by the opponent.

This general is very experienced, and all his guesses have come true!

Just when Zhao Yuanji entered the tent that the soldiers had set up for him, there was a sudden neighing of horses in the deserted valley.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of horseshoes came from all directions like thunder, as if they had been surrounded, Xu Jiajun rushed out everywhere!
The night is the best cover. Driven by a professional horseman, specially trained horses rushed into the camp with a long gun, stirred up a bonfire on the ground, and lit the surrounding tents.

At the same time, there was the sound of the porcelain pot being smashed, followed by the smell of oil, and the flames shot up into the sky. The whole camp was caught off guard by this sudden change.

"The Xu family army is here! It's the Xu family army!" A soldier shouted sharply.

And the eunuch's shrill voice roared: "Escort! Escort!"

The blazing fire illuminated the entire camp, and those Xu family troops riding black horses and holding special long-handled weapons were immediately exposed to everyone's sight.

They were all wrapped in black cloth, with only a pair of quiet eyes exposed from head to toe, riding a horse in one hand, and holding a long-handled weapon in the other. A dozen of them lined up in a long line and came rushing from the east, disrupting all order After that, like lightning, it scattered from the west to all directions.

They came and went in a hurry. The general was going to order the soldiers to go after them, but seeing that there were only a dozen of them, it was really strange. He was afraid of falling into an ambush, so he immediately ordered the archers to kill them, and did not dare to act rashly.

It's just that these men in black seem to have eyes behind them. The fierce horses are galloping, walking on a strange winding road, erratic, and before the arrows of the archers get close, they disappear into the night, only the sound of horseshoes is faintly visible, Lopsided.

The familiar terrain is really an advantage for Xu Jiajun.

Seeing those specially trained horsemen disappear without a trace, Zhao Yuanji, who was surrounded by guards, suddenly realized that he and others had become passive instead of actively attacking.

There is no guarantee that the other party will come again, the general will order people to protect Zhao Yuanji tightly, and he will lead people to put out the fire, and then count the losses.

Fortunately, only a few tents were burned and more than a dozen recruits died.

The food cart they were most worried about was fine, and they don't know if it was a fluke or the horsemen did it on purpose.

After all this tossing, the night was already dark, but no one dared to relax their vigilance.

In this way, death survived until before dawn.

At this time, it was the most sleepy time. The soldiers on duty at night looked at the white belly rising from the sky, thinking that it was almost dawn, and it was impossible for the Xu family army to come again. Just as they were about to take a rest, the strange movement came again.

The horseshoe trampled on the concrete floor and made a crisp "da da" sound. It was obvious that the other party had exposed their whereabouts in advance, but to the court soldiers on duty, it was like the horn of death, and they all fell asleep in shock.

"Boom, boom, boom!" The sound of the gong spread throughout the camp, and Zhao Yuanji, who was just about to take a rest, was awakened instantly.

"Xu Jiajun is here again!"

The exclamation of the soldiers came from outside the tent, and Zhao Yuanji immediately heard the general's angry roar.

"Damn it! Let's see if I don't kill you redheads this time!"

The general was swearing at his mother while organizing the manpower, but this time the reaction was quick, and he quickly pulled up the line of defense. The cavalry was on the left and the infantry was on the right. With the camp as a dot, the defense was radiated around.

However, Xu Jiajun didn't rush over this time, as if seeing that they were on the defensive, he just glanced at them and immediately turned around and ran away.

This wave has zero lethality, but is extremely insulting.

The general felt that he had hit the cotton with his fist, and his spirit was on the verge of collapse after staying up all night. He drew his long bow and shot three arrows at the cement road in a row.

The metal arrow hit the concrete floor hard, and was bounced into the air, leaving a small white crater on the ground.

Everyone had never seen such a hard ground before, and they were stunned for a while.

"I heard from Liu Duwei that Xu Jiajun used this kind of cement to rebuild the city wall of Yuyang County." Some soldiers gasped.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, the general's cold eyes swept over him.

Suddenly, no one dared to talk about cement.

They couldn't rest overnight, but the imperial army couldn't stay any longer. They quickly cleared up the camp, and with the momentum to deal with the Xu family's army, they set foot on the concrete road leading directly to Yuyang County.
