Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 865
At the same time as the news spread north, news about Fan Yang's battle also spread south. Especially those who witnessed it and the defeated soldiers were gathered by all parties. The news began to spread in Jizhou. In one day, it spread to all sides. square.

But what spreads faster than the news is the speed of the advance!

As the news fermented throughout the day, the atmosphere in Fanyang County, which had already experienced a war, became increasingly solemn.

On both sides of the Juma River, which runs through Fanyang County, there are more and more soldiers walking and they are getting denser.

Qiu County is located on the west bank of the Juma River. After crossing the river and walking for less than half a day, you can reach Youzhou City, the capital of Fanyang County.

At this time, General Wang Jun and others were all in Youzhou City, so Qiu County was actually a barrier to Youzhou, and there were many soldiers stationed there.

However, these soldiers were not trained in the army, but the local garrison. The military discipline was quite loose. Although the superiors pressed hard and repeatedly warned them, the inspections were more frequent, but the quality was not. Keep up.

Especially on both sides of the river, although there are soldiers patrolling back and forth, they are neither organized nor coordinated, and there are often many omissions. Many people, full of complaints, gathered in one place, lit a bonfire, started running around, and then spit out their bitterness to each other.

"I've been really busy these past two days. You don't know. Those team leaders are really pushing us. They are enjoying the coolness in the house, but they push us out. This inspection will take a whole day. Who can I can bear it!"

"Isn't that right? My mother-in-law complained to me, saying that she has been a widow for the past two days. I was wondering if I could find an opportunity to report my illness or something and go back to recuperate for two days."

"Same, I miss my son. I was called here a few days ago. I thought I would change defenses after just one or two days of patrolling. Who would have thought that it actually takes longer and longer day by day, and we are not allowed to return. You said we It’s the garrison, not the foreign troops fighting, so what!”

……

Several people were complaining in the night. They were still dissatisfied at first, but after saying a few words, they felt a lot more comfortable. Everyone was a little satisfied and started talking some ordinary words.

However, as they were talking, one of them suddenly stood up and walked to a more remote corner not far away to relieve himself. However, this person may be tired from the day, and in the dark, he could not see the ground clearly. By accident, his foot sprained, and he lost his balance in an instant. He screamed and fell towards the grass next to him.

It happened to be a slope. As soon as he fell down, he immediately rolled down the slope, making a loud splash.

The other people sitting next to the campfire, when they first heard the exclamation, their expressions immediately changed drastically. But when one or two people came closer, figured out the situation, and said the matter, the others immediately burst into laughter, and the air was suddenly filled with laughter. A cheerful scent.

But not waiting for a few people to laugh a few words, there was another cry from the bottom of the slope, but this time it was much more horrific, with a little more panic and pain, which finally made other people pay attention.

"what happened?"

"What happened?"

"Can you say something?"

Several questions blurted out, and everyone stood up one after another and moved closer to the place where the sound came from. But before they could reach the place, several black shadows quickly approached in the dark night, followed by several cold rays of light. , each of these soldiers covered their necks, with expressions of horror and disbelief on their faces, and then fell to the ground one after another. After twitching and struggling for a few times, they became silent.

The bodies of these people were then lifted up by several men wearing night clothes, then dumped in dense grass and covered.Then, these people ran over again, put out the bonfire, got together, and started communicating in a low voice.

"Since they are exposed, these people should be removed. However, they belong to different checkpoints and are patrolled. As time goes by, they will be exposed."

"Yes, and even this place is not safe. When the garrison patrol came over, they found that it was dark and there was no light, so they must be suspicious. Just leaving a fire and no one around it would make people more suspicious. "

"The inspection of the garrison is actually not the local garrison, but the generals who followed Wang Jun's troops to attack Pingzhou. They should not be underestimated. Since they have been exposed now, we should report it back to the captain as soon as possible and let him make a decision!"

After saying a few words, the group of people did not stop, quickly dealt with the surrounding traces, and then left quickly with quick steps. However, even while walking quickly, they could clearly see the rules inside. It was obviously Specially trained battlefield scouts and spies.

After a few people left, the place returned to peace, but it was completely dark, adding a hint of gloominess.

After about a cup of tea, the calm was broken. Accompanied by the sound of footsteps, a group of well-armored soldiers walked over holding torches. The leader was wearing a helmet and a cloak behind him. An ordinary soldier leader.

The man in the cloak came here and looked at the darkness. He immediately frowned and asked, "Has anyone been guarding this place? There must be deserters again. I didn't get together to be lazy along the way. They just escaped sparsely, but now in this area, not even a single person has been seen, what is going on?"

As soon as he finished speaking, several of his followers went over to investigate.

"Reporting to the team leader, someone lit a fire here!" One person discovered the extinguished fire. Although simple treatment was carried out to cover up the traces, time was tight, and the night walkers could not do it all. traces.

"Huh?" The man in the cloak realized that something was wrong, "Search the surrounding area for me, now!"

"promise!"

The followers all agreed and quickly dispersed. Soon someone exclaimed: "There is a corpse here!"

"Bring it over here!" The man in the cloak's face, illuminated by the torch, looked uncertain. When he saw the body being carried over, he squatted down and glanced at it. His face was so gloomy that it seemed like it could drip water. , "It's all fatal with one knife! It's definitely not something ordinary people can do. I'm afraid it requires someone who has been specially trained to do it! This must be an enemy attack! Bring a corpse and report to me quickly!"

After saying this, he didn't wait for anyone else, took a step forward and started running.

The others picked up a dead body and followed. This small group of people walked faster and faster along the Juma River, passed through a dark place, and saw the fire on the city ahead from a distance.

"Come on, cheer up..." The cloaked man was still waiting to speak, suddenly!
Whoosh!
There was a sound of breaking through the air, and an arrow pierced directly into his temple, splashing red and white!
This man didn't even have time to scream, he just fell to the ground!

The soldiers behind were horrified, at a loss what to do, and drew their swords one after another. But before they could stand still, figures jumped out from the grass next to them!

In an instant, the shouts of killing shook the sky!
