Not only Wu Hu, but Wucheng has been impregnable for many years, and the elite were taken away by Wu Qi. Even the defenders on the city wall have long been lazy and don't care much about defense.
Especially after Wu Qi left, some of the defenders in the city were hiding in corners, eating, drinking and having fun when they were supposed to be patrolling.
This is normal. Logically speaking, even if there are enemies, it will not be their turn to discover them. From Qingzhou to Nanhuang, there are sentry towers along the way. If there are enemies, they will immediately light up the smoke. It is impossible for people to touch them quietly.
Go near the city.
Most of the soldiers guarding the city were the sons of some of the powerful men in the city who were not taken seriously enough to be gilded. They served here for several years and were later promoted.
Regarding this kind of thing, Wu Qi couldn't stop it, so he could only pretend that he didn't know.
For a long time, the relationships in this city have been complicated. Which powerful person is not related to the Wu family?!
If he wants to deal with it, it's not that he can't, it's just that it would be too unkind.
The left and right are just some unimportant positions. Once they are given, they will be given away. Some key places are still firmly in his hands.
For example, the team responsible for opening and closing the city gates are all members of the Wu clan with clean family backgrounds, and no outsiders can contaminate them.
For several days in a row, Wucheng was calm and the city gates were opened and closed normally to allow merchants to come and go.
Especially Wu Hu, as a fierce general, he used to be a big shot that was unattainable to him. At that time, if he met, he would have to salute and call him general. But now, the other party is extremely respectful to him.
.
These are naturally flattering words, flattering Wu Hu.
Even if there are enemy troops pretending to be merchants and entering the city, without armor, there will only be dozens or hundreds of people, but they will not cause much trouble.
For the first time, he deeply realized the difference between master and servant.
Then, accompanied by a huge explosion, the entire Wucheng seemed to shake a few times at this time.
Especially armor, this is what Wu Cheng takes strict precautions against.
And one of them even said: "So to speak, the Zhao thief in the mountain had made bold claims at the beginning that he wanted to take Wucheng, but if this thief really encounters the general, he will probably be frightened and run away."
"It's just a pity that the thief is just paying lip service, so he will definitely not dare to come."
But the word "Sir" has a profound meaning. It seems to be referring to Wu Qi, and some seems to refer to Wu Zu.
"Back then, Your Excellency was able to defeat fifty thousand Yellow Sky thieves with three thousand. Although I am not as good as Your Majesty, I can also kill five thousand of Huang Tian's thieves with eight hundred!"
Suddenly, Wu Zu sighed.
"I don't know if your troops will go smoothly this time..."
On this day, in the middle of the night, it happened to be a moonless weather and the sky was overcast. The vanguard army led by Lin Yi passed through the mountains and forests and reached the mountains about thirty miles away from Wucheng.
However, Wucheng has strict restrictions on caravans. Not only the number of caravans, but also the goods must be inspected several times. If weapons are confiscated when entering the city, they will not be returned until they leave the city.
At the same time, almost when Wu Zu mentioned Wu Qi, a bloody battle was also going on in the Shanglin County area of Nanhuang.
But fortunately there was no light in the sky, and the city's defenses were sparse. The city's defenders said they were on watch, but in fact, they had already found a corner and slept directly.
Further behind, several civil servants who followed saw this scene and had their own thoughts in mind. Compared to the generals, the civil servants were undoubtedly more discerning and they immediately understood the meaning.
Wu Zu was undoubtedly a man of some ability, not enough to create new things, but he was enough to maintain success.
It was obvious that the Shangguan of the City Guards had known about his coming for a long time, so he put on this show.
As for Wu Zu, he was held in the moonlight by the stars at this moment. He looked at the vast mountains in the distance, and saw the orderly houses inside, the ant-like crowds coming and going, and the caravans lined up in progress, and
That truckload of goods.
In the next few hours, he pulled down more than ten sentry towers in succession, and finally got within five miles of Wucheng before dawn.
When Wu Hu heard this, he was not careless. He immediately laughed and said: "The Zhao thief is just a grass bandit in the mountains. He has some ability to pretend to be gods and ghosts. He can only fool the stupid people in the mountains. If he really dares to come, I will definitely kill him."
Let him never come back."
But then he said: "But since your Excellency has handed over Wucheng to me, you must remember not to make any mistakes. It's just that I have little knowledge. General Wu Hu, I would like to ask you, General, to take more trouble with the city defense."
Wu Hu was also a wonderful man and accepted the order immediately.
Several months have passed since the Huangtian Rebellion, and the trade routes have long been restored.
As soon as he said this, everyone else also laughed. Suddenly, the atmosphere on the city wall was a bit cheerful, and the distance between the few people seemed to have suddenly shortened a lot.
Until today, Wu Qi seized the opportunity and used the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to steal camp in the middle of the night, severely defeating the two coalition forces. The leaders of both sides were also powerful people. They did not panic in the face of danger, but temporarily trapped the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.
, the situation is at a stalemate.
The soldiers and horses of the two sides encountered each other in the Shanglin area. For several days before, there were generals facing each other, each with his own victory or defeat, and there was a stalemate for the time being.
It was not until noon that the soldiers and horses of the two families finally retreated.
After Ming Jin withdrew his troops, Wu Qi just changed out of his blood robe, but suddenly his heart palpitated, and a strong bad feeling emerged in his heart. However, he didn't know where this feeling came from. He could only let the soldiers in the army
, strengthen defense.
Of course, what Wucheng mainly protects against is not weapons, but armor, and bows and crossbows.
"I will definitely live up to your trust!"
…
The combination of all these scenes made Wu Zu feel relaxed and happy. The future of this city belonged to him.
Even though he has not yet entered the family tree and become the real young master of this place, when such signs appear, various forces will naturally converge towards him.
After this bloody battle, both sides suffered heavy casualties, and the war had reached this point where there was no room for retreat.
It's nothing more than that so many people seem to have become big shots. It's really not a bad feeling to have all the stars holding the moon and respond to the call, and the mountains and rivers to be in the palm of your hand.
In particular, the strangeness and estrangement between several people and Wu Zu were instantly eliminated.
Wu Zu's words were naturally not nonsense. He first mentioned Wu Qi as a deterrent, and then said that he would hand it over to Wu Hu, but it was to express his trust in Wu Hu. Translated, it probably meant that he would follow me from now on, and he would not
Suffer.
Wu Qi this time led 80,000 troops, with a public name of 150,000. The Feng and Chen families joined forces and raised 120,000 troops, with a public name of 200,000.
Along with the violent explosion and fire, many people were directly awakened by the huge movement. Some people hurriedly ran outside the house and immediately saw thick smoke billowing in the direction of the city wall. Under the little bit of skylight that had just appeared, they could vaguely see it.
, that towering city wall, at this moment, there was a huge gap.
On this day, Wu Zu led some people to inspect the city wall, and saw that the soldiers on the city were well-equipped and in good order. He couldn't help but secretly nodded. He didn't know much about the operation of the city guards. However, on the surface, it seemed that
, but still has some atmosphere.
…
The military camp of Wucheng is near the city gate. If there is trouble in the city, all you have to do is close the city gate and you will catch a turtle in the urn.
This distance is actually very dangerous. In front of Wucheng, all obstacles have been cleared long ago, and it can be said that you have an unobstructed view.
Among the people following Wu Zu, the nearest one is Wu Hu. Although this man is tall and has a rough face, his mind is very delicate. He is very close to Wu Zu, the young master.
Not the least bit unruly.
Seeing this scene, Lin Yi did not dare to neglect, and immediately asked the soldiers of the Pioneer Battalion to pile up a large number of square stones at the foot of the city wall. It could be said that they piled up a hill. However, with such a big move, there was no stone on the city wall.
Someone noticed.
At the same time, Lin Yi also gave an order. He shouted loudly: "The general has used his divine power to break open the city wall."
"The soldiers of the vanguard battalion listen to the order and follow me to kill!"
"Whoever enters Wucheng first will be promoted to two levels in a row!"
"Everyone, make your achievements now!"
"kill!"
